Thanks to the show of force in Ferrol, Valov apparently took a step back, and Alterra was once again left alone and at peace. For now.
Well, this was at least on the surface. From what they knew, from the few spies they had there (who had to send posts to various other territories, ideally those not known to be associated with Alterra), there was definitely some stuff brewing.
In fact, some city nobles, especially from Hassen, were seen there too. Who knew what they were talking about? Definitely nothing good.
This definitely set alarms in the military, but since they were not exactly certain what the other side was preparing, all they could do was prepare as best as they could, as usual, and watch out for spies.
Another month peacefully passed by. During this time, a few more things were discovered.
At this time, in the Research Center's Testing area, a group of young scholars surrounded a shiny prototype of a magic tool.
At its center was Menzon, the toolmaker behind it.
