White Wolf City was several degrees livelier than usual on November 3rd. Outside the castle on the mountain's southern slope, a new Teleportation Hall had been completed.
After his previous negotiations with Prime Minister Richelieu, Landen had ultimately decided to trade one Magic Furnace for four Teleportation Portals, to be installed in Iowa, White Wolf City, West Station No. 7, and Viscount Rothe's Territory respectively.
The transaction between the two sides had gone so smoothly that Landen had installed the Magic Furnace in Lanyuan City that very day, while the Lanyuan Family completed the installation of the last Teleportation Portal today.
