30. Chapter 30

AN: I double checked the length of my previous work, and I can confirm that this is by far the longest single narrative I've written. At this point I'm not sure I'll be able to wrap things up at 200k words as planned.

ooOoo

Flying made everything so much easier. The trip from Berun to Wien would have taken most of a day by train. I was able to make the trip in a little under two hours with my computation orb, even after slowing down to accompany the escort the Czechoslovakians insisted on providing as I overflew their territory.

It was a cold, clear morning. I'd bundled into my old military issue wool overcoat in addition to my usual flying clothes, and even so I was still diverting a little extra mana towards keeping my hands warm. The view, though, was spectacular. Neumann had wrangled a week off with his American paramour in exchange for his silence regarding my testing debacle, so I was left to enjoy the sights by myself once I left the Czechs behind at the border.

Visha had been in Wien for the last few days, making sure that our World Cup preparations started off on the right foot. The stadium had not even started to take shape, but the construction site did look reassuringly busy as it came into view. The workers below were scurrying back and forth with purpose. I could only hope that they weren't just putting on a show while they knew I'd be watching.

It didn't take me long to spot the one major landmark in the area. A large billboard, painted bright white. Once everything was finished, it would stand in pride of place in a plaza outside of the stadium to serve as the canvas onto which a team of mages would project illusions depicting the action going on inside. For now, it made for a convenient place to meet.

My first thought when I saw her was that I was badly under dressed. Where my clothing was strictly utilitarian, Visha had bundled up against the cold in a stylish set of furs. She was also, unless my eyes deceived me, wearing makeup.

Really, though, my clothing was definitely appropriate for visiting a construction site and then taking a stroll around town. However, while I would be leaving in the afternoon, Visha would still be working hard to get the stadium built. She probably had a meeting scheduled with some of the local big shots who would be helping to make everything go smoothly. There was no need to overthink either of our wardrobe choices.

Visha welcomed me to Wien with a friendly hug, then led the way to the construction site. Along the way, she filled me in on the work she had been supervising. It sounded like quite a bit, considering that she had only been in town for a few days. Well, that was to be expected with such a large project.

Even so, when I looked over the stadium site from the ground it still mostly looked like a collection of randomly placed holes and piles of dirt.
