"Well, Wen Xia, can you tell me more about the benefits of being an Honorable Guardian?" Mofan asked.
"It's mainly an honorable title, representing your contributions to the city. My teacher and I are in charge of the military. We are soldiers, not merchants, so we can't promise you anything, but if Fanxue Mountain needs anything, we can provide you with the best treatment," Wen Xia said.
"I recently found a Ward Rock. If I want to build a defensive wall along the coast of Fanxue Mountain, can you provide me with the materials?" Mofan asked.
"A Ward Rock? Your Fanxue Mountain has something so valuable? "Wen Xia blurted out.
A Ward Rock was similar to an Earth Pistil, but an Earth Pistil was able to build a barrier that could envelop an entire city, preventing demon creatures from getting close to it. The Ward Rock was a lot weaker, but it seemed like even a second-tier city did not have such a defensive mechanism.
Fanxue Mountain belonged to Feiniao City. It was a private property, yet it had the defensive mechanism of a second-tier city. How luxurious was Fanxue Mountain?
"That won't be a problem. We would have lost the city without your help, let alone mining for the stones. I can provide you with the materials you need for the wall … Dingcheng is the same as Fanxue Mountain. It needs to be rebuilt. It will take many years for it to become a real Elemental Capital. You should know the future and significance of an Elemental Capital. The officials who are enjoying the fruits of others' labor will soon intervene. You should apply to the government to become a Councilman while the city is still clean. You should be qualified to apply to become a Councilman since you own a piece of land like Fanxue Mountain. Once you become a Councilman, you will have a say in the development of the city, its direction, and its future," Wen Xia advised Mofan.
Mo Fan glanced outside the window. The city that Wen Xia mentioned was just a pile of rubble in Mo Fan's eyes. It was no different from a city filled with trash. However, with the Earth Pistil Barrier and the endless supply of Earth Elemental resources in the Dark Den, it was hard to tell how the city would develop. There were only a handful of cities in the country that could be considered capital cities.
Mofan scratched his head. "Councilman … I think a lot of people have suggested that I try, but I'm not the kind of person who likes to be restrained. If I become a Councilman, I'll have to take care of the city's affairs. I'm quite willful, too. I can disappear at any time. Fanxue Mountain might be my property, but I've never managed it before. I'm totally clueless about it."
It was not easy to be a councilor in this junkyard city.
"Once the news gets out, every Councilman across the country will be coming here, yet you still think it's troublesome? Do you have no confidence in the future of our city? Or are you looking down on our city now that you've earned your reputation in the Ancient Capital?" Wen Xia asked.
"That's not it." Mofan shook his head. Speaking of which, why didn't the Ancient Capital give him a reward? He should ask President Han about it later.
"How about this? You'll be an honorary councilor. Everyone knows you've helped us secure the city. If you leave without saying a word, we won't be able to explain it to the Mages who have fought alongside us. You'll be an honorary councilor with two votes. If you're willing to take part in the construction of the city, you can use these two votes. If you're not, the highest council of the city will treat it as you abstain, "Wen Xia said.
"I won't be doing anything?" Mofan asked sternly.
"You won't have to do anything," Wen Xia said.
"You won't have any obligations or meetings that you have to attend?" Mofan asked.
"An honorary councilor can choose not to attend. We'll treat it as abstaining. As for obligations, it's fine as long as you don't do anything that brings disgrace to the city," Wen Xia said.
"I'm not sure about the second one," Apas interjected.
In her opinion, with Mo Fan's stupidity, it would be hard for her not to embarrass the organization.
"Apas, how could you say that!?" Mofan glared at Apas.
Wen Xia chuckled. Even though she had not known Mofan for a long time, she knew Mofan was not the kind of person who would follow the rules.
"Well, I'm a hot-tempered person. I'll kick the government whenever they do something stupid. I'm worried that I won't be able to do whatever I want if I join the government," Mofan said.
"The Elemental Capital has always been governed independently. It's different from the government of other cities. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Elemental Capital. If there's someone you can't stand in our city, it's even easier. You're a councilor, "Wen Xia said.
"You're right. Let me think about it."
"Alright, I'll help you apply for it. The system of the city is still quite simple. There's no need for you to go through so many procedures," Wen Xia said.
The city was currently a city with no government. It was still up to them to decide who was in charge of the important positions, but it would be hard to say in the future.
Wen Xia did not wait for Mofan's reply. She told Mofan to get some rest and left.
Only Mofan and Apas were left in the room. Apas was leaning against the window with a bored expression.
"Give it to me," Mofan reached out his hand.
"Give what to me?" Apas was confused.
"The crystals!" Mofan said.
"Didn't you agree to give them to me!?" Apas immediately lost her temper.
"I didn't agree to give them all to you. We'll split them fifty-fifty," Mofan said.
"You're shameless!" Apas lunged at Qin Nan like she was going to bite him.
Mofan subdued her in no time. As a Medusa, Apas' body was incredibly soft. It was possible that she could achieve many unusual positions with her waist.
Mofan had only given Apas half of the crystals. Since she valued them so much, they must be able to strengthen her in some way. Mofan was already struggling to subdue the little sprite even though he was her master. If she suddenly became too strong, she might actually eat him up if he was careless.
Mofan insisted on taking half of the crystals, regardless of how angry Apas was!
Apas could not do anything to a robber like Mofan. She could only glare at Mofan murderously.
"I'm guessing you won't tell me what the crystals are for. I'll study them myself. Tsk tsk, it's a very special energy. It should be able to transform my Bright Rock," Mofan smiled.
