Tu Ya’an was not interfered by his mood. He soon made a contract with Mayor Almark and returned to Gold-Panning town to get it signed. Then, Almark gathered the inhabitants of the town together to announce the news.

People were shocked that there would be a group of skeletons volunteering to work outside the town. Some timid people rushed to inquire about the location of the construction site in detail and then said that from now on, they would never go to that direction. They wouldn’t even look in that direction anymore.

Others worried about the possibility of accidents in the future. But the mayor convinced them that the most important thing was to increase the town’s income. The threat of skeletons was certainly acceptable compared to having a new farm in the near future.

Moreover, there wasn’t a great threat. There were armed forces in Gold-Panning Town. With two retired mid-level adventurers as the captains and a patrol of 30 people, they could easily defeat 200 ordinary skeletons. If any accidents happened, the residents just needed to run back to town and call the patrol.

Anyway, it was impossible for the skeletons to rush into the Purification Array!

As Mayor Almark had predicted, the residents of Gold-Panning Town became less afraid of those skeletons with the Purification Array as the final protection. There were even some brave ones that volunteered to be the inspectors to go to check the skeletons’ work regularly.

So it was finally settled, and everyone was very happy.

Tu Ya’an returned to the magic tower with satisfaction and told his sister about the result of this trip. The next day he set out again and went to Pyroxene Town.

“Let the skeletons work for Pyroxene Town?” After hearing that, Mrs. Asner, the Great Governor of Pyroxene town, pondered for a moment. “What can these skeletons do?”

“Basically, they can do everything that a human can do, but they can’t be as accurate. Generally speaking, their work is rough and inefficient,” Tu Ya’an said. “After all, they’re the lowest level of skeletons. The only advantage of them probably is that they are tireless and needn’t be paid.”

Mrs. Asner thought for a moment and said, “Well, can they help in logging?”

“Certainly.”

“How about farming?”

“That will be a little difficult. I’ve never thought of letting skeletons working on the farm,” Tu Ya’an answered honestly. He was polite in facing another legendary master.

That was not to say that he looked down upon weak people, but that between legendary masters, they would naturally respect each other from the heart. That was totally different from their respect for ordinary people. The latter was just out of politeness or even charity, but the former was really derived from identity.

“That’s fine. It will be good enough if the skeletons can help us save manpower from logging,” Mrs. Asner said. “It’s just that the Purification Array around Pyroxene Town is a little wide. In that way, additional personnel is needed to carry the wood. What’s more, the unpurified wood is not very useful because they can only be used as fuel.”

She wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she asked, “Can skeletons work underwater?”

“Of course, they’re heavier than water, so they won’t float up.” Tu Ya’an knew almost everything about skeletons, and he could tell all kinds of information as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Well then, we’re planning to dig a reservoir in Pyroxene Town, and that is supposed to be dug in the Purification Array. I’ve been worrying about where to put it these days,” Mrs. Asner said. “Although the Purification Array of Pyroxene Town is very large, the town also needs a lot of supporting facilities, and that takes up a lot of land. At present, there isn’t enough land available here, so it is difficult to allocate a large area to build a reservoir. But now that skeletons can help in working, we can let them dig new canals for us and build a reservoir. It won’t be difficult for them if they can work underwater.”
