Yeah he'll look over them and notice that.

Which means he can't trust any in languages that neither Avalor nor Ror speak.

Those he probably won't do anything with. For now.

...he also probably won't do anything with the ones not in Voan but, well. Good to have in any case.

Avalor continues to ask periodically if he needs anything.

He doesn't.

And then he's done.

She appreciates the translation. Would he like to go home till she needs something?

Actually he might prefer to stay and see how things go.

All right. She can continue to pay for his hotel.

He is very thankful. How are things going her side of things?

She is nearly done with the groundwork for ceding Imde province and has begun to recruit a handful of people for secret projecting.

Secret projecting! He's excited for this.

Would he like to present the book to some secret project greens so they can ask any questions they may have about the translation?

Yeah!

He can come to a place and meet some greens! They are all so excited about this project.

Oh so they have been told what it was after all?

They have been told that it is groundwork for space colonization among other things and involves unprecedented advances which could be summarized as magical! Some of them have more information than that, probably so Kaede doesn't surprise them!

Right-o! It is in fact magical. Here's some magic.

Oh boy!

So magic is done by magic people—daeva—who come in three kinds. Magic is extremely dangerous—black holes and furniture and such. Not that most daeva would do that, of course, they have different personalities just like Amentans, but, you know, it takes one. Are they very very clear on how very very dangerous they can be?

Yes.

Okay so daeva can be summoned, and there are bindings, and you can make a deal with them. You can dismiss them before agreeing on a deal or after you've paid them by concentrating on wanting them gone for a minute or uh dying. Also here's the story of furniture angel. Daeva can be very very very dangerous.

They understand.

Right then. Bindings! This is a book about this. The full course takes a while, it is not immediately straightforward, he is going to teach them how to do it the right way and there are going to be tests.

They can handle it. They were selected by a process that seemed to involve Governor Avalor calling university administrators and going "you know those talented young greens who just can't pick a field but have loads of potential? I found their field."

Ooh it's good to deal with smart people. He teaches them summoning!
