Master Tongtian

Chapter 215 The Young Mayor of Crescent Town (24)

The meeting of lords was held urgently for two days before all the details were finalized.

The day after the meeting.

Chabolai was summoned by Sophia, and Rosen was also invited.

The two of them rushed to the Moon-Watching Garden in a carriage.

In the carriage, Xia Bolai looked uneasy, but Rosen sat calmly on the ground.

"Rosen, why aren't you nervous at all?"

Chabolai felt as if a hedgehog was stuffed under his butt.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Uncle, the matter has been settled. There is no point in being nervous."

"It's decided? So what exactly is decided?"

"Madam will tell us later."

The carriage drove all the way into Wangyue Garden. In the small conference hall of Wangyue Garden, Rosen met Master Sophia.

There was only less than five days between this time and the last time, but Rosen clearly felt the changes in the other party. There was a strong look of exhaustion on his face, and he was very haggard, as if he had aged five years.

Rosen was startled and asked, "Madam, have you not slept well these past few days?"

Sophia sighed softly: "It's all about you young people."

Although she didn't need to personally participate in many trivial matters, she still had to pay attention to the whole process. After a few days, she was a little exhausted.

It would have been more tiring at first, but the Lord of Fanggu Town was unexpectedly persuaded by Rosen, which reduced her workload a lot.

After saying that, she smiled bitterly: "I saw a young mage who is growing up rapidly, with strong vitality gushing out of you. But in your eyes, I saw an old woman who is dying."

Rosen immediately saluted Sophia as a low-ranking mage: "Madam, dying is too exaggerated. You just need to rest."

Xia Bolay on the side nodded in agreement: "Yes, Aunt, you are only 58 this year. Which of those great mages can live to be eighty or ninety years old?"

Sophia felt much better and said with a smile: "Those great mages who lived to be eighty or ninety were all raised at home."

"I don't have such a leisurely life as your aunt. None of you, the younger generation, can really make me worry-free."

To be honest, she would have given up her job long ago as long as her children were up to par.

Xia Bolay felt guilty and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he muttered something casually.

"Brother, didn't you do a good job before?"

Those words were like the fuse that lit a powder keg.

Sophia sneered.

"Yes, he is quite good at fighting. But apart from fighting, he is useless in other aspects!

"I don't know which crazy guy gave him the idea to burn the mountain. So much good wood was burned all in one fire!"

Speaking of this, Sophia became excited and slapped the armrest of the chair hard.

"I asked him to reclaim wasteland and build a new town, but he was still not happy and said that this was not what a soldier should do. This bastard only thinks about fighting!"

Rosen and Xia Bolay secretly looked at each other, wisely remained silent, and allowed the Archmage to complain.

Fortunately, Sofia quickly dropped the subject.

"Forget about that irritating warrior. Let's get down to business."

With a slight movement of her fingers, a document flew up from the desk next to her and slowly floated towards Rosen.

Rosen took it and found that the document was covered with dark gold paint. The paint seal showed that the background was a silver moon and six stars, and the main body was a cross pattern of a scepter and a long sword.

His heart moved, and he had already guessed what this thing was.

"open to take a look."

Rosen complied.

When the scroll was opened, it was found to be a letter of appointment, which read.

'With the witness of the God of Gold, and the glory of the Silver Moon Family, Omicia VIII, the great moon magician Sophia de Omicia, officially appoints the intermediate divine grace mage, Rosen de Philander. Sir is the mayor of Crescent Town. ’

Strictly speaking, for a mid-level divine mage, a hereditary knight, and a well-known reputation, being the mayor of a town is a bit unworthy.

But considering that he is only 16 years old, has very little political qualifications, and is a migrant from the highlands, making him the mayor is shocking and goes against the political traditions of the highlands.

It took Sophia a lot of effort to convince the major lords in the highlands to accept this.

In fact, if it weren't for the full support of Bilgu and Baron Moreau, Sofia alone would have to pay a huge price even if she could push Rosen to the top.

Rosen was not surprised by this result.

In fact, this was exactly what he expected.

The mayor is a necessary transition. If you want to become a baron, you have to wait until Chabollet actually takes the position.

He took a step forward and saluted Sophia with a sincere look on his face.

"I am deeply honored to have your trust. I am also very honored to be the mayor of Crescent Town, and I will never let down the master's expectations of me!"

Sophia nodded and stared at Rosen: "Remember what you once said, and remember your pursuit. Don't be like me and get caught up in the trivial matters of the world."

Rosen nodded seriously: "Master, magic is always my highest pursuit!"

Sofia was relieved and sighed softly: "Hey~ It would be great if Xia Bolay was as sober as you."

She waved her hand, and another scroll flew from the table into Chabolai's hand.

"Reclamation of wasteland was a good thing, but Fubosi made it a mess. People were resentful, thieves were everywhere, and an annoying Iron Arm Brotherhood emerged."

"After the victims went south, he couldn't come up with a response plan and had to rely on others to wipe his ass. This made me very disappointed!"

"Xia Bolai, from now on, you are the acting lord of Crescent Town, and Rosen will assist you in governing Crescent Town."

"There are no outsiders here. I'll tell you clearly that once things are well managed, you can take over my responsibilities from my aunt. Your aunt also wants to live a comfortable life and live a few more years."

When Xia Bolay heard this, his heart boiled with emotion. He held his chest high and said, "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

He was interrupted by Sophia waving his hand mid-sentence.

"Now there's no need to brag. I don't believe it even after hearing it."

"If you don't manage well, then come back and continue to be your guerrilla general, and continue to eat and die in Silver Moon Castle."

Xia Bolay retorted: "Aunt, I didn't wait to die in Silver Moon Castle."

"Yes, you didn't just eat and wait to die, you just gained another ten pounds."

Chabolai was speechless. After a few seconds of silence, he said loudly: "Aunt, I promise I won't let you down."

Sophia sneered: "Of course I won't be disappointed, because I didn't expect you to do things at all. What you have to do is not to block Rosen's way, and learn from him how to do things!"

Xia Bolay's face turned red: "Aunt, your words hurt my self-esteem."

"It's okay. Your self-esteem has a strong healing ability, just like the fat on your body."

Chabolai lowered his mouth and was speechless.

Seeing him like this, Sophia softened her heart and softened her tone.

"My nephew, I raised you since you were a child. I hope you have a bright future. Don't let me live up to my expectations again, okay?"

When Xia Bolay heard his aunt's rare gentle words, his heart immediately surged with ambition.

"Auntie, I will do my best! If I disappoint you again, I won't need you to punish me. I will chop my trunk into pieces with a knife!"

As soon as he heard this, Rosen's eyebrows jumped: 'Tsk~ Uncle, what a brain. ’

Sure enough, Sophia was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily.

"Where did you learn this mess of dirty language?! Is this what I taught you since you were a child?!"

"Get out of here!"

Xia Bolai also looked embarrassed, knowing that he had mistaken the occasion in his excitement, and walked out of the small conference hall with a sullen face.

The atmosphere in the small conference hall was awkward.

After a while, Rosen softly smoothed things over for Chabollet: "Although uncle is a bit vulgar, his feelings are sincere."

"Stop talking, I get a headache just thinking about him! I've tried my best to teach him, but why did he develop like this?"

Sophia raised her hand to cover her forehead, looking ashamed.

Rosen was about to leave: "If Madam has nothing to say, then I will prepare to take office."

Sophia shook her head: "There are still some things I want to make clear to you."

"Ma'am, please speak."

"The establishment of a new town this time requires huge costs. However, due to various exchange conditions and the need to take care of Vobos's emotions, the Omicia family can not provide much support."

After a pause, she sighed: "Except for the 30,000 crowns I will give you as a personal reward, there is no public support from the family at all."

"But fortunately, the Demitlan family, the Moreau family, the La Fongle family, and the mages of the Temple sect all support you and Charbolet."

"Finally, together with part of the compensation from the Sano family, we collected about 150,000 kronor in supplies."

“It’s not much, but it’s enough for start-up capital.”

This news made Rosen very happy. The contacts he had accumulated really played a big role.

To rebuild a small town from scratch, to build a fortress, and to cultivate a large amount of farmland, 150,000 crowns of materials are naturally not enough, but it is indeed enough to get Crescent Town started in the early stage.

Sophia continued.

"The town is built for you, so in addition to my 30,000 yuan, the other 120,000 yuan must be repaid with interest."

"Of course, the interest is not high. You can discuss the specific situation yourself."

Rosen is also mentally prepared for this.

How to pay it back?

The usual situation is to wait for the town to be built and then use the various materials and industries generated by the town to return it.

Normally, it would take more than ten years for the lord to completely pay off the debt in a town like this that was completely funded by others.

And it is human nature to give interest. Otherwise, if others are not your parents, why would they help you for free?

In fact, being able to help you when you need it is already a very rare ally.

However, Rosen did not intend to take such a long time to pay back the money. He had already planned various ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

I originally thought that the explanation had been completed, but unexpectedly, Sophia took out a spell book and handed it to Rosen.

"This is my support for your spells, and it is also all my experience in studying pure high-level logic spells."

After a pause, she looked a little regretful.

"It's a pity that high-level logic spells are really difficult. I tried my best, even with the best numbers, but I still couldn't succeed."

"I'm old. Whether I can create pure high-level logic spells depends on you young people."

Rosen took it and took a look, and saw the words "Advanced Logical Deduction" written on the cover of the spell book. His heart was suddenly shocked. He looked up at Sophia again and saw that she was looking at him with a smile, her eyes full of joy. Eagerly anticipated.

This time, Rosen was really moved.

Although Sophia is a count, her pursuit of magic is very pure. After discovering that she was unable to achieve extraordinary things, she changed her mind to supporting her younger generations.

He also clearly felt Sophia's expectations for him, and she also gave the greatest support she could in the gaps between various interests.

There was no one around the small conference hall, and Malkyri was also guarding the door.

Rosen took a step forward, leaned down, grabbed Sophia's hand, put it close to her ear, and whispered: "Master, if one day I break through the extraordinary, I will definitely let you regain your youth and experience life again!"

After saying that, he stood up straight and seriously bowed to the latter as a mage.

Sofia blinked. Although she was moved, she didn't take the words to heart and responded casually.

"Then I'll wait for you to fulfill your promise."

Let me emphasize that this would have been impossible without Sophia and the protagonist's extra story, which completely broke through Lao Mo's bottom line.

Stop mentioning this nonsense in the group!
