Celestial Mage

Chapter 215 The Young Mayor of Crescent Town (24)

The lord meeting was urgently held for two days before all the details were confirmed.

the day after the meeting.

Xia Bolai was summoned by Sophia, and Rosen was invited at the same time.

The two rushed to Wangyue Garden in a carriage.

In the carriage, Xia Bolai looked anxious, but Luo Sen was sitting on the ground with an old god.

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

Xia Bolai felt as if a hedgehog had been stuffed into the bottom of his ass.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Uncle, the matter has been settled, there is no use being nervous."

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

"Madam will tell us later."

The carriage drove all the way into Moonwatching Garden, and in the small conference hall of Moonwatching Garden, Rosen met Master Sophia.

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

Rosen was taken aback, and asked, "Madam, have you not slept well these days?"

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

Although she does not need to personally participate in many trivial matters, she must also pay attention to them all the way. After a few days, she will be a little exhausted.

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

After finishing speaking, she smiled wryly again: "I saw a young mage who is growing rapidly, with strong vitality gushing out from you. But in your eyes, I saw an old woman who was dying."

Rosen immediately greeted Sophia with the salute of the next mage: "Madam, dying is too exaggerated, you just need to rest."

Xia Bolai nodded in agreement: "Yes, aunt, you are only 58 this year. Which one of those archmages can live to be 90 or [-] years old?"

Sophia's mood improved a lot, and she said with a smile: "Those archmages who live to eighty or ninety are all raised at home."

"Your aunt, I don't have such a leisurely mood. None of you juniors can really make me worry."

To be honest, if the younger generation is up to the challenge, she would have quit long ago.

Xia Bolai felt ashamed, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he muttered casually.

"Didn't Big Brother do a good job before?"

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

Sophia sneered.

"Yeah, he's pretty good at fighting. But he's good for nothing but fighting!
"I don't know which guy with a cramped brain gave him the idea to burn the mountain. There are so many high-quality woods, and they are all burned!"

Speaking of this, Sophia became excited and patted the armrest of the chair vigorously.

"I asked him to reclaim wasteland and build new towns, but he was not happy, saying that this is not what a soldier should do. This bastard who only knows about fighting!"

Rosen and Xia Bolai looked at each other secretly, wisely kept silent, and let the archmage complain.

Fortunately, Sophia quickly retracted the topic.

"Don't mention that angry martial artist. Let's get down to business."

With a slight movement of her finger, a document flew up from the desk beside her and slowly floated towards Rosen.

As soon as Rosen took it, he found that the document was covered with dark golden wax paint. The paint was printed with a silver moon and six stars in the background, and the main body was a cross pattern of a scepter and a long sword.

With a move in his heart, he already guessed what it was.

"open to take a look."

Rosen complied.

After opening the scroll, I found that it was a letter of appointment, which said.

'With the testimony of the God of Gold, with the glory of the Silvermoon family, Omisia VIII, the Great Moon Sorcerer Sophia de Omecia, officially appointed the middle-level divine grace mage, Rosen de Ferrand Jazz is the mayor of Crescent Town. '

Strictly speaking, a mid-level divine grace mage is still a hereditary knight and has a great reputation. Being the mayor of a town is a bit inferior.

But considering that he is only 16 years old, his political qualifications are really shallow, and he is still an outsider in the highlands. Letting him be the mayor shocked the world and greatly violated the political traditions of the highlands.

It took Sophia a lot of effort to convince the highland lords to accept this point.

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

Rosen was not surprised by this result.

In fact, it was exactly as he expected.

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

He took a step forward and saluted Sofia with a sincere expression.

"It is a great honor to gain your trust. I am also very honored to be the mayor of New Moon Town, and I will never let down Master's expectations of me!"

Sophia nodded and stared at Rosen: "Remember what you said before, and remember your pursuit. Don't be like me, entangled by trivial matters in the world."

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

Sophia was relieved, and sighed lightly: "Hey~ If only Xia Bolai was as awake as you."

With a wave of her hand, another scroll flew from the table to Xia Bolai's hand.

"Reclaiming wasteland is a great thing, but Fubosi made a mess of it, the people were full of resentment, thieves were everywhere, and there was an annoying Brotherhood of Iron Arms."

"After the disaster victim went south, he couldn't come up with a solution 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, so I will tell you clearly that if it is well managed, you will take over the burden from my aunt. Your aunt and I also want to live a comfortable life, and live for a few more years."

Xia Bolai's heart was boiling when he heard it, and he puffed up his chest: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely."

Half of the conversation was interrupted by Sophia waving her hand.

"Don't talk big now, I don't believe it after hearing it."

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

Xia Bolai retorted: "Auntie, I didn't just wait to die in Silvermoon Castle."

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

Xia Bolai was immediately speechless, and after a few seconds of silence, he said loudly: "Auntie, 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 get in the way of Rosen, and learn how to do things from him!"

Xia Bolai's face turned red: "Auntie, what you said hurt my self-esteem."

"It's okay, your self-esteem is strong enough to heal, just like your fat."

Xia Bolai pursed his mouth, speechless.

Seeing him like this, Sophia's heart softened, and her tone slowed down a bit.

"My nephew, I raised you since I was a child, and I hope you have a bright future. Don't let me down, okay?"

When Xia Bolai heard her aunt's rare warm words, her heart immediately filled with ambition.

"Auntie, I will do my best! If I let you down again, I don't need you to punish me. I will chop off my elephant's trunk with a knife myself!"

Hearing this, Rosen's eyebrows jumped: "Tsk~ Uncle, you have a brain." '

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

"Where did you learn such a mess of foul language?! Is this what I taught you since childhood?!"

"Get out of here!"

Xia Bolai also looked embarrassed, knowing that he had mistaken the occasion when he got excited, so he walked out of the small conference hall with a face full of embarrassment.

The atmosphere in the small conference hall was awkward.

After a while, Luo Sen softly smoothed things over for Xia Bolai: "Although the uncle is rough, he has sincere feelings."

"Don't talk about it, I get a headache when I think of him! I also tried my best to teach, how did I become like this?"

Sophia raised her hand and covered her forehead with a look of shame.

Rosen was about to leave: "If Ma'am has nothing to say, then I'll go and get ready for my post."

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

"Madam, please speak."

"The establishment of a new town this time requires huge expenses. But because of various exchange conditions and because of the need to take care of Fubosi's emotions, the Omexia family can not give much support."

After a pause, she sighed: "Except for the [-] kroner reward I will give you personally, there is no public family support at all."

"But fortunately, the Demitran family, the Moreau family, the La Fontaine family, and the mages of the Temple School all support you and Xia Bolai."

"In the end, with the addition of part of the compensation from the Sano family, we have collected about 15 crowns of supplies."

"It's not much, but it's enough for start-up capital."

This news made Rosen very happy, and the contacts he had accumulated all along really played a big role.

To rebuild a small town from scratch, to build a fortress, and to reclaim a lot of farmland, 15 kroner is naturally not enough, but it is indeed enough for Crescent Town to start in the early stage.

Sophia continued.

"The town was built for you, so besides my 12, the remaining [-] has to be repaid with interest."

"Of course, the interest rate is not high. For the specific situation, you can discuss it 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 use the various materials produced in the town to return the various industries.

Under normal circumstances, it would take more than ten years for the lord to fully pay off the arrears in such a small town built entirely by crowdfunding.

And giving interest is also human nature, otherwise others are not your parents, why would you help you for free.

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

However, Rosen didn't plan to spend such a long time paying back the money. He had already figured out various ways to increase income and reduce expenditure.

Originally thought that the explanation was over, 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 when I study pure high-level logic spells."

After a pause, she showed a trace of regret.

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

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

Rosen took a look, and saw the words "Advanced Logical Deduction" written on the cover of the spell book, and his heart was shocked. Then he looked up at Sophia, and saw that the other party was looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of tears. Looking forward to it.

This time, Rosen was really moved.

Although Sophia is an earl, her pursuit of magic is very pure. After finding that she could not achieve extraordinary, she changed to support the younger generation.

He also clearly felt Sophia's expectations of him, and she also gave the greatest support she could give in the gaps of various interest games.

There was no one left or right in the small conference hall, and Malkiri was also guarding the door.

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

After finishing speaking, he stood up straight, and earnestly saluted the latter as a low-ranking mage.

Sophia 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 without Sophia and the main character's side story, this would be absolutely impossible, completely breaking through Lao Mo's bottom line.

Don't mention this shit in the group!
