4 Visiting Menagerie

After talking with Qrow for a bit, and telling him some more BS. Leo left soon after and directly used Yamato to go to Menagerie.

Arriving there, he smiled as he saw his hard work pay off. He was currently floating in their above a port city in Menagerie. It was a medium-sized city which is also a trading city since all kinds of products are being exported or imported here.

The city was designed by him, it was a mix of the fantasy-style city with some modern twists in it. He helped in building this city like the other ones, of course, the Faunus also built it when he is not around.

He used some magic to fasten the process whenever he has time. And he just gave some machinery to the Faunus if he is busy with something so they can build it more.

By the way, the city's name is Zale which means Sea strength in Greek. He quite likes the name so he suggested it and they accepted.

"Hmm...good it's beautiful" He muttered while looking down on the city. It was full of people wandering around and it made the city more lively.

Then there were the ships which were owned by his company, that transports products in and out of Menagerie. Of course there also some ships from other kingdoms that trade in Zale.

After marveling for a bit he teleported to an empty alley using space magic. He already changed into his Faunus form which he used years ago.

He walked out of the alley and saw how bustling the city is. He walked around and tried some local products they made here, which he enjoyed.

'It seems the city is developing well. The products here are also quite good. Looks like my decision to build this is good' He thought while munching on some food he bought. And as always he attracted attention, there are even some White Fang members that are monitoring him.

Luckily though, he was currently in his Faunus appearance so they didn't attack him since he has similar features with the Schnees. He could just change his hair and eye colors with magic but he liked them so he didn't change.

After walking for an hour enjoying the city's various delicacies, he went on an empty alley and used Yamato to go to the capital city of Menagerie.

-------

Arriving on the air above the capital city, Leo saw the sheer size of the city. Like the port city Zale, it was also mixed fantasy-style since he like it.

The city was beautiful especially in an aerial view like he had. Its size is big as most Faunus live here. It was built where the previous desert is.

The city's name was Aelin, which means Bright. Leo didn't name this city, it was the Faunus who did. When he asked why it was named that, they said that it was because the city was like a bright light that he gave them when they were suffering.

--------

After he got out of thought, he directly teleported towards Ghira's House which was in the middle part of the city. It was not a large house, in fact, it was humble for a home.

Especially since Ghira was the head of the council in the kingdom. As a side note, Leo, or as he was known here as Alex Wright since he used a fake name, was also a member of the council.

His position is quite special since he was basically the founder of the kingdom. He built most of the cities and helped the people prosper.

--------

Knock! Knock!

He knocked on the door, and not before long Ghira's wife, Kali Belladonna. She was surprised upon seeing Leo or as she knows Alex.

"Alex! Come in, Ghira is still at work," She said as Alex merely smiled and entered. He sat on a sofa in their living room as Kali prepared some snacks for him.

She gave him some juice and cookies she baked. He thanked her, "Thank you, Kali," he said with a smile on his otherworldly face.

She smiled back, "Your welcome, that's nothing compared to what you did for Menagerie." she said gratefully.

"No, it was my own will to help," He said since he really did help them with his own will but more so because he was bored back then, and he continued to do so until they finished building.

He stayed there until Ghira came home and the two talked happily like old friends. This is technically true since Leo considers him as his friend.

If not he would not even bother visiting personally. That's his personality, he wouldn't care for other people except for children since he cares for them. But he also cares for those people close to him.

-------

And so years passed by again since his meeting with Ghira.
