Felix waved her hand and sent the fat president away, but she was still a little unhappy. She frowned for a while and took out a list.
There were more than a dozen names on the list. They were the big shots who actually ruled the four towns in the northwest.
On the list, the real rulers of Dragon-roar Town, as well as their representatives, as well as the military leader of Rye Town and the president of the Adventurer Guild, had ticked their names. But there were not many people in Gold-Panning Town.
She picked up the pen and ticked the name of the president of the Gold-Panning Town Mining Guild.
"Another one." Felix put down the pen and paper and sighed. "His Majesty wants us to use legal means to do things. It's really inconvenient!"
The deputy mayor laughed. "But in this case, everyone will feel more at ease."
"Yes, those who follow the rules are always more popular than those who don't." Felix nodded, but she could not help but sigh. "But... it's a waste of time!"
"I think you're asking too much. It's only been a year, and you've already convinced or controlled so many people. At this speed, it will only take a few years to completely control the four towns in the northwest. Even a mortal like me can afford to wait, not to mention a great wizard like you. "
Felix laughed. "You're right. Right now, the least important thing to me is time. I still can't get rid of my old ways of thinking. I'm bound by the mortal's concept of time. You're really a talented person. Don't you want to 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 takes too much time and energy. I don't want to spend more than half of my life learning skills that I may not use in my lifetime."
"Why wouldn't it be useful? Magic can do many special things! "
"But I can do those things without magic," the deputy mayor said. The deputy mayor said, "Magic can move things, light bonfires, heal the sick, and destroy monsters... But these things, I can either do it through other means, or I can ask others to do it. I'm just an ordinary civil official, and I don't have to do it myself."
Felix let out a sigh and hung his head dejectedly.
Yet another attempt at persuasion failed.
Ever since she discovered that the deputy mayor had a good aptitude for magic and a clear mind, she had been trying to persuade him to learn magic from her. But up until now, no matter how many times he tried to persuade him, not a single one of them was effective.
The deputy mayor, who was always smiling warmly, was actually quite a stubborn person. Her dream in life seemed to be to be a good civil official. She was not interested in anything else.
Felix really did not understand. How could a mere deputy mayor of a small town have a higher status than a mage? Also, she believed that with her subordinate's aptitude and temperament, if he devoted himself to magic research, there was a high chance that he would at least step into the senior rank.
An Advanced Magician would be able to speak on equal terms with the powerful nobles. Wouldn't that make him a lot stronger than a mere Vice Mayor like her?
Moreover, becoming a Mage would greatly increase one's lifespan!
In this world, ordinary people could only live to fifty or sixty years old. Those who lived to seventy years old could already be called the God of Longevity, which was admirable. But for a Mage, even if he was only a middle-ranked Mage, there were ways to extend his lifespan to a hundred years. It was not difficult for a Advanced Mage to live to two hundred years old just by relying on simple and safe methods, even if he did not use some difficult and risky methods. As for the Legendary Mage … Master Ymir Lamperus, who had led his students to end the "Age of Wizards" and founded the Commonwealth of Mifata, had not died of old age. None of his disciples who had stepped into the Legendary Realm had died of old age.
For women, even if it was just for a long life, shouldn't it be worth pursuing?
Because of this important reason, the proportion of women among the Mages far exceeded half.
But when faced with a woman who was not interested in a long life, there was nothing she could do.
Sighing deeply, Felix took out the documents and information she had just put down and continued to devote herself to the never-ending work.
There was always work to be done, no matter who it was.
But work could always come to an end temporarily, and it was the same for everyone.
For example, for Sui Xiong.
"It's finally over!"
Looking at the last batch of believers' souls saved from the God Kingdom of the Goddess of Harvest heading to the residential area, Sui Xiong let out a long sigh and wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead with his tentacles. He could not help but laugh.
"I'm really afraid of my hands and eyes. I thought it would take a long time to purify so many souls, but it didn't take long for all of them to be done."
"How are you going to settle them?" Morani walked over and asked curiously. "Don't tell me you haven't thought about it yet."
Sui Xiong laughed awkwardly and tried to change the topic.
"Ask them to convert their faith," Morani said. Morani said, "Since I've received your life-saving grace, it's only natural for me to repay you with faith."
"… You are right, but I still feel very embarrassed." Sui Xiong scratched his face with his tentacles and said with a bitter smile, "I didn't save them for any benefits. I just couldn't bear to see them die with the Goddess of Harvest. "
"Whether you saved them for benefits or not is not important at all. The important thing is whether they can bring you benefits! " Morani said seriously, "I know you are a good person, but a good person should not only help others at the expense of himself, but also let everyone benefit."
"… How can there be such a good thing!"
"Yes, there are often not such good things in the world, so we have to settle for the next best thing. At least we should let good people not only give everything, but also let them have some return for their efforts. This is at least a comfort."
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and said, "This is also very difficult."
"It may be difficult, but shouldn't we do this?" Morani advised. "You have done enough for them, and now it is time for them to repay you. There should be a return for effort. As a god, you should especially uphold this law! "
Sui Xiong nodded and sighed softly.
A few days later, the rescued believers of the Goddess of Harvest received a notice from His Majesty, Void Mask.
"Due to the lack of manpower in my God Kingdom, I am now recruiting a number of believers. Those who are interested can come to me for a discussion, and the treatment will be better than what you have received in the past."
Some stubborn believers were dismissive of this, and there were even more extreme believers who said that this was an insult to their faith, but in the end, there were still many believers who were tempted.
If they lost the divine power from the Goddess of Harvest, they would lose their eternal life. In order to survive, what was the problem of changing their faith?
After all, Her Majesty, His Majesty, Harvest Goddess, had already fallen …
