He gave them the same story he had been telling, and since he had to update his profile again with the mage guild, making him one of if not the strongest caster in the country, they likely knew better than to question the near epic chaotic neutral sorcerer that admitted he did things because they might be amusing, and wasn't living in luxury somewhere as a royal adviser or something because he couldn't stay interested. He did admit to the demon army, and the aspect of Tiamat helping out, and that the ritual was supposed to summon a physical form of a god, though he specifically didn't mention which god, claiming he had no interest in getting zapped by a god the next time he went outside.<br/><br/>Be the end of the month, most of the upgrades of his house was done except for the lab, the downstairs had been turned into a louge and the harem room, with 'windows' that would show illusions of what was actually happening outside of the house on the first floor. He had set up a private garden on top of the house, with a small pool containing a double handful of fish and a frog, making it into a small paradise within the city. He had planned something a bit more lavish, until he realized he was making an actual mansion, and the residents might not like him driving the property values up as high as he would if he did that. Most of the more lavish magic uses he covered by buying scrolls at the magic guild, trading off his supply of magic items to help offset the cost. he did a few quests during that time, mostly to stay sharp, though the kobolds in the nearby mountains were loving the fact that he had opened up the trading route between them and the city again, driving off the gnoll bandits by himself, mostly so no one would call him out on using meteor on a handful of basic bandits. He did note that the survivors found other jobs soon after, mostly farming, and for some reason that amused him.
