Gabrach Tripwood and Fen Ni had both agreed to take up teaching positions at Kabamba Academy, causing quite a stir in the Holy City of Estari.
Among the Mages who ran the academy, some were enraged, while others were indifferent. However, no one was furious. After all, they were just two Mages. In the eyes of the "real big shots," two country bumpkins were nothing.
However, such news still attracted a lot of envy and jealousy. In the Holy City of this era, teaching at an academy was like holding a golden bowl. As long as they could stand firm and not be challenged by students, fame and money would roll in, and they wouldn't have to worry about life anymore. Therefore, for those Mages who didn't like to take risks, such a profession was something they wanted to squeeze into no matter what.
However, the two Mages who posted new news from time to time on the forum didn't choose to teach the subjects they were best at, which were P Language, airship building, Magic Tower modification, and so on. Instead, they chose an inexplicable mathematics course and an even more inexplicable "life" course. No matter who it was, they couldn't make heads or tails of it.
If they seriously used the title of the former Demon King Fanny Tikal to attract people, there would actually be many Mages who would be interested. Among them, there was no lack of well-known Great Mages, and even old Warlock Saints who lived in seclusion in Estali.
However, if they wanted to take that Lich's course, they had to be approved by both the Association and the academy, and the standard was similar to the conditions for obtaining knowledge of forbidden spells from the Association. Was that course worth anything? They were taking the money to learn it, and they were making all kinds of excuses. What the hell! Any Mage with a bit of backbone would have already crossed out a certain rumored Lich.
In addition, that person also made it clear that she wouldn't teach anything about the Lich's transformation ritual. When this news came out, it caused a huge uproar in the Holy City. The commotion was much bigger than when the two of them joined Kabambai Academy.
Most people were suspicious of the beautiful female Mage who claimed to be a Lich. After all, in terms of appearance, who had seen an undead Lich who was more beautiful than a human woman? Now that she didn't dare to teach the Lich's Conversion Ritual, it meant that she didn't know anything about it.
Being a teacher in the academy, especially when the students were Magicians, was not an easy job! Without strength, one would be easily exposed and kicked off the stage. This was something that had been heard from time to time in the past few years.
However, as a Lich, he actually didn't dare to talk about the Lich's Transformation Ritual. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Estali's chat section on the forums had exploded. There were all sorts of insults, belittling, and comments that started with 'I knew it'. If Fen cared about the comments on the forum, this perfect body that he created might have a heart attack.
Unfortunately, her attitude seemed to have been infected by someone, and she didn't go on the forum at all.
As for the people who came up to her and questioned her on the spot … Regardless of whether they were in the Land of Mystery or on Earth, no one had ever seen a keyboard warrior fight bare-chested. He would be considered lucky if he wasn't sent flying with a slap.
In short, after the two pillars of the group decided on their future plans, the next thing they needed to do was to find a place to settle down.
Although the inn in Sauer Island was very comfortable to live in, there were always some inconveniences because it was only a place to stay.
If it were only Lin and Fen, they could live in the inn and borrow the facilities of Kabambai Academy to carry out all their experiments. They could even reimburse a certain amount of the cost of materials every month. This was a great benefit that Kabambai, who had grown up in the academy, gave to the Magicians who taught there.
However, the two Magicians weren't the only ones in the group who had such needs. Although the two apprentices were ignorant and incompetent, it was inevitable that they would have to practice magic and meditate in the meditation room. In addition, the silver-bearded dwarves also needed special alchemy and forging rooms. These functions were not fully provided by the Flaming Red Lips Inn.
Therefore, it was necessary to set up a place of their own for them.
At times like this, the benefits of having someone to help them were obvious. With the help of Great Magician Kabambai, Lin and the others quickly found a detached villa near the academy.
On one hand, Kabambai Academy was located in a newly developed area outside the Holy City of Estale. It wasn't an old area with a long history, so the living environment here wasn't as crowded as the old areas. The reason why the academy was built here was because there was enough space for development.
In the short span of two to three years, there wasn't enough time to make the area lively. However, the quick-witted merchants had already built beautiful buildings around the academy. The main purpose was to rent them out, whether it was for the Magicians who taught in the academy or came to study.
After all, the academy was quite a distance away from the traditional old areas. The Magicians who came to study here for a short period of time might already have their own homes in the old areas. However, for the sake of convenience, as long as they had enough money, they would still rent a place to concentrate on their studies and not waste too much time on transportation.
Honestly speaking, the Magicians who taught here didn't know how long this new 'academy' would last. Only someone like Great Magician Kabambai, who had invested almost all of his wealth in the academy for the sake of his ideals and a sense of responsibility for his legacy, would shift the focus of his life to the academy. The other Magicians who were teachers would choose to rent a place nearby for the time being.
However, for an outsider like Lin Li, he didn't have to worry so much. No matter how convenient his life was, it wasn't like before he transmigrated, where there was a convenience store every few steps and alleys, where there was a marketplace every few streets.
In addition, although the rooms that were specially rented to mages were fully equipped, they were only standard equipment. Because these facilities were rented, it was difficult for Lin Li to make any major changes inside and out.
Back then, the Hindenburg Airship had been modified by him into the Sid. That was because he was in trouble and had a need for it, so he did it in passing. If he had been able to safely reach his destination at that time, why would he have modified an airship and even handed it over to the goblins as his property?
Because he needed a place to live, and whether it was the Silver Bearded Dwarves' peace weapons or his and Fen's research, they all needed to be kept secret, so buying property was the best choice. Fortunately, Great Magician Kabambai had helped him. Otherwise, with Lin Li's reputation in the Holy City, it would have been difficult for him to even meet with businessmen who owned property, let alone buy a house from them.
If someone was willing to live near the academy, Kabambai would of course welcome it, so he did his best to help. The reason was similar to the bosses on Earth. They wanted their employees to love the company so much that they would treat it like their own home. They would eat and live in the company, and they would be at their beck and call until they died.
Another person who helped him a lot was the owner of the Flaming Red Lips Inn, the former 'Red Lotus of the Battlefield', Shaolin.
Although there was one less group of guests, Shaolin didn't mind. Once she knew that Hallumi, Kaya, and the others needed to renovate their new houses, she immediately introduced the craftsmen and people from the Chamber of Commerce that she was familiar with, and helped to arrange the required materials.
It could only be said that Hallumi was too good at currying favor. Shaolin was overjoyed when she called her sister. Because of this, the two of them unexpectedly hit it off. No matter what happened, someone would say, "Don't be afraid, your sister will help you."
But based on the age gap between the two of them, not to mention being a mother, she might even be a grandmother … Forget it, it was better not to expose her. When someone was willing to help, one should be grateful. It was not illegal to have a sweet mouth. This was called a white lie.
After moving into their own house, the Silver Bearded Dwarves became restless. They didn't care that the house had not been renovated and tidied up, and they made a fuss about wanting Lin Li to help them modify the peace weapons. Of course, such an action was directly kicked to the wall by Lin Li!
What a joke, they already had their own house, but the most important thing hadn't been done yet. How dare they disturb me with such irrelevant matters!
The two apprentices who had sympathized with Jermaine, and the Lich who was puzzled by Lin Li's sudden change in temperament, were more or less sympathetic to the Silver Bearded Dwarves who came crying to them.
Once they saw that Lin Li had started to make the 'toilet' again, the three women's eyes changed! Not only did they throw everything else aside, but they also simply handed it over to the craftsmen who came to help, leaving only Uzov to watch over. They all rolled up their sleeves and helped Lin Li with his homework.
Not only was Jermaine's protest ineffective, the four Silver Bearded Dwarves were also caught on official duties. All of them were called to help, and they were forced to do things. Regarding this, they expressed their deep dissatisfaction, but it was still useless.
Although the urban construction technology in the Mystical Land had been developed for a long time, and although there were sewers and water pipes for drainage, the popularity had not reached the point where every household could use them. Therefore, if one wanted to use a toilet here, other than spending a large sum of money to hire workers to connect the sewage system and water system to the city's main line, they had to use magic to solve the problem.
Considering the previous misuse of the Dimensional Banishment Spell, the bosses of the Mystical Land had jumped out to warn him. Therefore, the sewage system now couldn't be like in the era of the Tower of the Great Sage, directly connecting to an unknown place with magic and then discharging feces and urine. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a joke if the bosses of the opposite side came to find him again.
The toilet sewage system designed for the new house was obediently connected to the city's sewers. At most, some effort was put into the problem of cleanliness and unobstructed flow, so that people didn't have to often pick up feces or something.
And the only water source for this house was a well in the courtyard. It was too difficult to use a well to complete the water system of the whole house. Therefore, most of the clean water used for cleaning was solved with magic.
The drinking water part was still mainly from the well. Because the water made by magic was too clean, there were no minerals or various trace elements needed by the human body in it. Drinking such water for a long time was not necessarily a good thing.
When the first set of toilets was completed, not to mention the three women who had been looking forward to it for a long time, the others who had used it were also shocked. It was clean, convenient, and as long as it was used correctly, it could also greatly reduce odors.
This item completely crushed the pride that the Silver Bearded Dwarves had been trying to maintain for a long time, which had been as fragile as glass. So what if the peace forces were good at fighting? It was not as good as an invention that really improved life.
