Chapter 292 (2/2)

Would they have done the same thing?

Haman bowed his head and recalled that he had hurried past people who were dying of hunger with food in his arms more than once.

He felt as small as an ant.

Half an hour later, they came to the Pyroxene Town. Miss Felix directly went to the meeting place of the big men who ruled the town. She talked with them secretly for a while. By the time she came out, she had already won the title mayor of the Pyroxene Town.

Why did a great magician who wasn’t afraid of the cold want to be the mayor of a declining town?

Haman was a little perplexed, especially when he noticed that Miss Felix’s right hand was slightly stained with blood… This female magician seemed strange, not only in her dress, but also in her style of working.

Miss Felix saw his expression, smiled, grabbed a handful of snow by the roadside, and wiped off the blood on her hand. “These past few years, I’ve been dealing with super tough guys, so I carelessly forgot to control my power in the negotiation just now, but don’t worry, there was no one who died.”

Did magicians use their fists to negotiate? Haman felt like something was wrong.

“Haha, it doesn’t matter. Let’s go and find a place to build a house.”

Miss Felix and her students—those boys and girls wrapped themselves up in warm clothes like dumplings—came to Haman’s home. It was a place with a open terrain, close to the town wall. It was very convenient.

The strange magician finally showed her ability as a magician.

She took out a gray wooden staff and waved it to draw something out on the open ground. Then the ground began to shake. The frozen mud that was as hard as stone moved like it was alive, forming the shape of a house. It solidified again and turned the color of the stone.

It seemed exhausting for her to do that. The energetic Felix looked a little tired when the house was finished. She complained to Haman about something regarding how Transformation magic was really troublesome. Then she took out some bedding from a small bag and asked her students to decorate their rooms. She stood at the gate herself with fire on her fingers, burning a line of words on the wall beside the gate of the wired box-looking house.

“Isn’t my handwriting good?” she said proudly.

“Sorry, I can’t read.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ll learn to read in the future.” Miss Felix was not affected by his words at all. She smiled and said, “It says ‘Isuka School of Magic,’ so you must remember it well. From today on, you work for this school!”

After building the house, of course, they needed to buy the necessary furniture. Miss Felix sent Haman to buy furniture and other things that might be useful with her students, while she stayed at the school by herself.

After everyone had left, she looked up into the air, where there seemed to be nothing.

“Your Majesty Void Mask, do you really think there is hope in the development of this declining town?”

Sui Xiong’s voice came from the nothing. “Hope originally comes from despair, and the town has not yet reached its time of despair. As long as I spend some time and energy on it, I think we should be able to revive it.”

“But what is special about this town? It’s necessary to find some goals.”

“If it’s so easy to find a method for rejuvenation, why would I invite you, a great magician who was a successful business woman before, to help?” Sui Xiong laughed and said, “It’s not difficult to find powerful magicians, but there are few magicians who know how to build a city. You see, the Commonwealth of Mifata is so big that there are a large number of legendary mages, but how many of them can make their territory prosperous? Just le-Peyroux and a few others.”

Felix laughed for Sui Xiong’s praise. “Well, if anyone can do it, then I didn’t have to come here specially!”

With a leap, she easily jumped onto the roof, which was significantly higher than the house next to her, looking around at the low, shabby houses around her.

“Maybe I should find a painter to draw this scene.” She made a frame with her hands and circled the scene in it. She said with interest, “After my magic school is fully developed in the future, this picture can be used as a souvenir to open the eyes of the freshmen and encourage them to work hard.”

Invisible in the air, Sui Xiong laughed and waved his tentacles. A scroll made of special waterproof and fireproof material appeared in the air and floated in front of her. Pictured in the scroll was the Pyroxene Town at that moment.

This declining town had a depressing and decadent atmosphere, even the guards seeming powerless. Only the strange-looking square house on the edge of the town showed a different vitality.

“That’s a good idea.” He said, “Just leave this task to me. I’ll draw a picture of the town every once in a while. I’ll give you enough pictures to use as souvenirs.”
