Chapter 368: 368

With a wave of her hand, the fat chairman was sent away . Felix was still somewhat unhappy . She frowned for a while and took out a list .

The list contained a row of more than a dozen names; they were actually the names of the big men who ruled the Four Towns in the Northwest .

On this list, the real rulers of Dragon-Roar Town and the spokesmen they arranged were all checked . The heads of the army of the Rye Town, the chairman of the Association of Adventurers and others were also checked . However, few people of Gold-Panning Town were checked .

She took the pen and checked in front of the name of the chairman of the Mining Union of Gold-Panning Town .

“Another one solved . ” Putting down the pen and paper, Felix said, sighing, “It’s really inconvenient for us to do things as His Majesty has required—with legal means, those can at least be explained!”

The deputy mayor said, smiling, “But in this case, everyone will be more relieved . ”

“Yes, people who follow the rules are always more popular than those who don’t,” Felix answered, nodding . But she could not help but sigh . “Just… It’s a waste of time!”

“I think you’re requesting too much . In only a short year, you have convinced or controlled so many people . According to this speed, it is estimated that it will take only a few years to completely control the Four Towns in the Northwest . Even a mortal like me can afford it, let alone a great mage like you . ”

Felix said, smiling, “You are right . Now time is the least important thing for me . I still can’t get rid of the inherent old thinking method, so I am bound by the concept of the mortal time . You are really a very talented person . Why don’t you consider learning magic from me?”

“Please allow me to refuse,” the deputy mayor answered, smiling and shaking her head . “I just do my own work . It takes too much time and energy to learn magic . I don’t want to spend more than a half of my life on the skills that I may not use for a lifetime . ”

“How could you not use it? Magic can help you do a lot of special things!”

“But I can also do those things without magic,” the deputy mayor said . “Magic can move things, can ignite bonfires, treat injuries, and eliminate monsters… But I can do these things by other means, or I can ask others to do them . I am just an ordinary civil affair official, so originally I don’t have to do them on my own . ”

Felix lowered her head in frustration, sighing .

Another failed persuasion .

Ever since she had discovered that the deputy mayor had good magic qualifications and clear and steady thoughts, she had been trying to persuade the deputy mayor to learn magic from her . But up until now, after several attempts at convincing her, none of them had ever worked .

The deputy mayor, who was always gentle and smiling, was actually a rather stubborn person . Her ideal of life seemed to be a good civil affair official, and she was not interested in anything other than that .

Felix really didn’t understand that . Could just a deputy mayor of a small town have a higher status than a mage? Moreover, with the qualifications of this subordinate, if she got involved in magic research, she might not be able to become a legendary mage, but at least it would be possible for her to enter the high-level . Felix believed that .

As a high-level mage, she could even speak equally with the big aristocrats who held real power . It was much better than being a deputy mayor, wasn’t it?

Moreover, after becoming a mage, her life expectancy would be greatly increased!

In this world, ordinary people could only live to 50 or 60 years old, and people who could live to 70 were already called the stars of longevity; it was admirable . However, for mages, even mid-level mages could easily extend their lives to hundreds of years . High-level mages didn’t need high-risk means to extend their lives, because it was easy for them to live to 200 years with simple and safe methods . As for the legendary mages… At that time, Master Ymirjar Le-Peyroux had led his disciples to end the Witch Age and had created the Mifata Federation . He and his disciples had entered the Legendary Realm, and none of them had died of old age .

For women, just youth and longevity should be worthwhile in pursuing, right? For this important reason, the proportion of women among mages was far more than half .

However, Felix had met a woman who was not interested in youth and longevity, so she had no way out .

After a deep sigh, Felix took out the documents and the materials that she had just put away and continued to devote herself to the never-ending work .

Work was always endless, and this was true for everyone . But work could always come to an end temporarily; this was also true for everyone .

For example, for Yan Xun .

“It’s finally over!”

The last group of souls of the believers who had been rescued from the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was heading to the residential area . Looking at that, Yan Xun took a long breath and wiped away the sweat that did not exist on his forehead with his tentacles . He couldn’t help but laugh .

“Really, when you just look at the work, it seems like a lot . But when you actually do it, it’s not a lot . So many souls . I thought I needed to purify them for a long time, but it didn’t take long before I finished them all . ”

“How are you going to settle them in?” Morani asked curiously after coming over . “Don’t tell me you haven’t decided that yet until now . ”

Yan Xun smiled, feeling embarrassed, and he refused to answer him directly .

“Make them change their faith,” Morani said . “Since they have received your life-saving grace, of course, they should repay you with their faith . ”

“That’s right, but I always feel very embarrassed,” Yan Xun said, scratching his face with his tentacles . Then he said with a bitter smile, “I didn’t save them for those benefits . I just couldn’t bear to see them die with the Goddess of Bumper Harvest . ”

“It is not important whether you saved them for no benefits or not . The important thing is whether they can bring you benefits!” Morani said seriously . “I know that you are a good guy, but good guys should not harm themselves to help others when doing good things . They make everyone benefit . ”

“How can there be such a good thing!”

“No, there are often no such good things in the world, and that’s why we should retreat to a lower level . At the very least, we shouldn’t let good guys only pay out completely . Just let them get some rewards . ”

Yan Xun was silent for a while; then he said, “That is also very hard . ”

“Maybe it’s hard, but shouldn’t we do this?” Morani advised . “You have done enough for them, and now they should repay you . You pay, you gain . As a god, you should especially maintain this rule!”

Yan Xun nodded, sighing softly .

A few days later, the saved believers of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest received a notice from His Majesty, the Void Mask .

“Due to the lack of manpower in my God’s Kingdom, I need to recruit a number of believers . People who are interested can come to my place to negotiate . The treatment is the same as your past one, and it may be even better . ”

Some stubborn believers ignored this, and some extreme believers even thought that this was insulting their belief . However, after all, many believers were moved .

Losing the power from the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, they would lose their eternal life . They changed their faith in order to live on .

After all, the Goddess of Bumper Harvest had fallen .
