The fat president was teleported away with a wave of his hand, but Felix was still a little unhappy. He frowned for a while and took out a list.
There are more than a dozen names written in a row on the list, which are the big shots who actually rule the four towns in the northwest.
In this list, several de facto rulers of "Dragon Roar Town" and the spokespersons they arranged all checked, as did the army chief of Rye Town, the president of the Adventure Guild and others, but Gold Rush Town Over there, not many people check the box.
She picked up her pen and put a tick in front of the name of the president of the Mining Union of Gold Rush Town.
"Another one has been solved." Putting down the pen and paper, Felix sighed and said, "Your Majesty insists that we use legal means that can be justified. It is really inconvenient!"
The deputy mayor laughed: "But in this case, everyone will feel more at ease."
"Yes, people who follow the rules are always much more popular than those who don't." Felix nodded, but couldn't help but sigh, "It's just... what a waste of time!"
"I think your demands are too high. In just over a year, you have already convinced or controlled so many people. At this rate, it will probably take less than a few years to completely control the four northwest towns. Even if I Such a mortal can afford to wait, let alone a great mage like you."
Felix smiled: "You are right, the least important thing to me now is time. I still haven't been able to get rid of the inherent old thinking and am bound by the mortal concept of time - you are really a You are a very talented person, wouldn’t you consider learning magic from me?”
"Please allow me to refuse." The deputy mayor smiled and shook his head, "I just need to do my job well. Learning magic requires too much time and energy. I don't want to spend more than half of my life studying, maybe all my life. It’s something I can’t do.”
"Why can't we use it? Magic can do many special things!"
"But without magic, I can still do those things." The deputy mayor said, "Magic can move things, light bonfires, heal injuries, and destroy monsters... But these things, either I can do through other things. If you can do it, you can either let others do it. I am just an ordinary civil affairs official, and there is no need to complete them myself."
Felix sighed and hung his head in frustration.
Persuasion failed again.
Ever since she discovered that the deputy mayor had good magic qualifications and clear and stable thoughts, she had been trying to persuade him to learn magic with her. But until now, I have tried to persuade him several times, but not even one of them has worked.
The deputy mayor, who always smiles gently, is actually a rather stubborn person. Her ideal in life seems to be to be a good civil affairs officer, and she is not interested in anything else.
Felix really didn't understand how the deputy mayor of a small town could have more status than a mage? And she believed that with this subordinate's qualifications and temperament, if he devoted himself to magic research, he wouldn't be able to say that he was a legend, but at least he would have great hope of reaching a high level.
A high-level mage who can speak equally to powerful nobles is much better than a mere deputy mayor like her
Moreover, becoming a mage can greatly increase your lifespan!
In this world, ordinary people can only live to be fifty or sixty years old. Those who live to the age of seventy are already called longevity stars, which is admirable. But for mages, even mid-level mages, there are ways to easily extend their lifespan to hundreds of years. Even if a high-level mage does not use some difficult and risky methods, it is not difficult to live to two hundred years just by relying on simple and safe methods. As for the legendary mage... Master Imia Lamperus, who led his students to end the "Era of Wizards" and founded the Secret Tower Federation, and none of his disciples who entered the legendary realm are Die of old age.
For women, shouldn’t it be worth pursuing, even just for youth and longevity
Because of this important reason, the proportion of women among mages is far more than half.
However, she was at her wits end when she met a woman who was not interested in youth and longevity.
Sighing deeply, Felix took out the documents and information he had just put down and continued to devote himself to the never-ending work.
There is never enough work to do, and this is true for everyone.
But work can always come to an end temporarily, and this is true for everyone.
For example, for Sui Xiong.
"It's finally over!"
Seeing the last batch of believer souls rescued from the Kingdom of the Harvest Goddess heading to the residential area, Sui Xiong took a long breath, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with his tentacles, and couldn't help but laugh.
"It's true that the eyes are not afraid of the hands. There are so many souls. I originally thought it would take a long time to purify, but it didn't take long before they were all finished."
"How are you going to arrange them?" Morani came over and asked curiously, "Don't tell me, you haven't figured it out yet."
Sui Xiong laughed awkwardly and looked around at him.
"Ask them to change their faith," Morani said. "Since I have received your life-saving grace, it is natural to repay them with faith."
"... That's true, but I always feel very embarrassed." Sui Xiong scratched his face with his tentacles and said with a wry smile, "I didn't save them to get any benefits. I just couldn't bear to see them follow the harvest. The goddess was buried with her."
"Whether you save them to get benefits or not is not important at all. What is important is whether they can bring benefits to you!" Morani said seriously, "I know you are a good person, but good people do good things. You shouldn’t just hurt yourself to help others, but let everyone benefit.”
"...How can such a good thing happen!"
"Yes, there are often not so good things in the world, so we have to settle for the next best thing. At least we should prevent good people from giving their all, and let them get some rewards for their efforts. This is at least a comfort."
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and said, "This must be difficult."
"It may be difficult, but shouldn't we do this?" Morani advised, "You have done enough for them, and now it is their turn to repay you. If you give, you should get something in return. As a god, , you should especially uphold this law!"
Sui Xiong nodded and sighed softly.
A few days later, the followers of the saved Harvest Goddess received a notification from His Majesty the Mask of the Void.
"Due to the lack of manpower in the Kingdom of God, we are currently recruiting a number of believers. Those who are interested can come to my office for negotiation. The treatment will be similar to your past treatment and will be favorable."
Some stubborn believers dismissed this, and even more extreme believers said it was an insult to their faith, but after all, many believers were moved.
Without the divine power from the Harvest Goddess, they will lose their eternal life. In order to survive, what does it matter if they change their faith
After all, Her Majesty, the Harvest Goddess, has fallen...
