Wizard's Journey

Chapter 546 Warmth Upon Leaving Office

There is one year left until the end of the fifty-year assessment.

"Mothfrog City has a population of 900,000, and the surrounding 21 towns and 849 villages have a total population of 2,533,000, more than ten times the population of fifty years ago!"

Green held the population information of Mothfrog City that he had just collected and smiled slightly.

Over the years, Green secretly dispatched Mu Yi under the guise of traveling to collect information on all the cities where the disciples of the Netherworld Heart lineage were taking the test. In comparison, Moth Frog City was indeed the undisputed number one.

Of the tenfold increase in population in Mothfrog City, more than 70% are migrants.

The so-called outsiders are naturally people who migrated from other surrounding cities undergoing assessment in pursuit of wealth. Moth Frog City has developed into the undisputed heart city among the surrounding cities.

Walking on the bustling street.

Construction of the Skyport, the tallest building in Mothfrog City, is still ongoing. It seems to have become a symbol of Mothfrog City. Although it is far from being completed, the skyport, which is over a hundred meters high, has already consumed countless bricks, stones, paper, and pens from construction workers and technicians.

Of course, compared to some of the more affluent cities in the central area of ​​Santa Fe, this airport, even if completed, is nothing special.

However, in this newly developed wilderness of the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy, this air port was nothing short of a miracle in the eyes of the common people who were already accustomed to a backward life!

Green shook his head with some regret, knowing that he wouldn't live to see the day the aerial port was completed during his tenure as city lord.

Because the assessment is about to end.

Under Green's initiative, a leisure plaza and a knight's retirement home were established in Mothfrog City. The slums were renovated and rebuilt with Green's generous spending of gold coins, and all the roads in the city were paved with bluestone slabs.

Meanwhile, thanks to the introduction of the Chivalry Course, Mothfrog City became a renowned civilized city.

This signifies that Mothfrog City is not only the economic center of this large region, but also a cultural center. A series of books written by Xiao Ba, such as "The Code of Knights," "The Dignity and Glory of Knights," and "The Indomitable Loyalty of Knights," began to spread culturally with the knights of Mothfrog City.

It seems that the knight academy in Mothfrog City was too famous, which led to the rapid decline of the knight academies in Lingwei City, Aifeng City, and Sweet Potato City.

On the street, residents bowed to Green. People had become accustomed to the city lord strolling the streets like an ordinary resident without the protection of knights.

The residents wore genuine smiles, smiles full of hope for life.

"grown ups."

A new accountant ran over, wearing round black-rimmed glasses and sweating profusely. The young man had taken over the position of his aging father.

"What's wrong now?"

Green turned around and asked.

Just a few days ago, Mu Yi and Bo Xiangyulan were sent by Green to clear out the wolf plague in a village east of Mothfrog City. Two days ago, they received news of a large-scale outbreak of worms in the oak forest. Green had no choice but to issue a large number of wizard apprentice missions to the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy.

Could something have gone wrong again?

There's no way around it; ordinary humans are just too fragile.

Some natural phenomena seen by wizards are disasters for ordinary humans, especially in newly developed wilderness areas like the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy, where frequent disasters are quite normal.

The steward was panting heavily.

"It's Vivian Port on the Doma River. A group of wild fish monsters have appeared there, and a small merchant ship was capsized yesterday. This kind of quest requires a wizarding quest to be issued by the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy. What do you think, sir?"

Oh?

After thinking for a moment, Green said calmly, "No need, I'll go take a look."

evening.

Green stood atop the Thousand-Eyed Crab, which was over thirty meters tall, casting a massive shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun. The residents of Vivian Harbor were already terrified by this nightmarish monster.

The port guards looked up at the sky, but all they could do was tremble instinctively.

Merchant ships forced to anchor in the harbor by the strange fish were left staring blankly at the enormous creatures in the sky.

Such monsters are simply beyond human capabilities to resist!

This……

This is something only a wizard could do...

Ok?

Suddenly, Green flew down from the Thousand-Eyed Crab and loudly reassured the port residents and merchants, "Don't panic! This is the Thousand-Eyed Crab, a friend of Mothfrog City, here to restore order to the port! Mothfrog City has the strength and ability to maintain order within its territory, so please rest assured and continue your work and lives!"

"Wow, I can't believe my eyes, it's Lord Green!"

"It really is Lord Green! This monster is actually the guardian beast of Mothfrog City?"

The merchants and sailors on the merchant ship breathed a sigh of relief, some even plopping down on the deck, panting heavily as if they had escaped death: "Thank goodness, it wasn't a monster attack..."

Green smiled, glanced at the strange fish, four or five meters long with their dorsal fins sticking out of the water, in the Doma River in front of Vivian Harbor, and said in a low voice, "Thousand-eyed crab, let's change things up today."

"Yes, Mr. Green."

After a dull response, the Thousand-Eyed Crab plunged into the Doma River with a "plop," sending up huge waves that instantly created a large splash in front of the harbor. Every now and then, strange fish, four or five meters long, would leap out of the water only to be pinched down by the giant pincers underwater, leaving behind only large patches of blood after a few tumblings.

After about half an hourglass's time, the Thousand-Eyed Crab flew out of the Doma River with a "whoosh".

Night had fallen, and magical lamps illuminated the harbor as river water cascaded down the long red fur of the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

"Lord Green, I'm full."

Green glanced at the Doma River in front of Vivian Harbor, then, no longer seeing the strange fish, nodded in satisfaction at the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

Green turned to the port residents and merchants who had gathered around and said, "The fish monster problem has now been resolved. Merchants who suffered losses yesterday will receive appropriate compensation from Mothfrog City. Please feel free to conduct legal business in Mothfrog City! Mothfrog City has the strength and ability to provide you with a safe and stable trading environment!"

After calming down the port residents and merchants, Green flew onto the back of the Thousand-Eyed Crab and left Vivian Port.

…………

one year later.

"Master, this is my mission contract."

In the city lord's mansion of Mothfrog City, a female wizard apprentice over a hundred years old held a mission contract and spoke respectfully to Green, marking the end of Green's assessment mission as the city lord of Mothfrog City.

A silent sigh escaped Green's shoulder, and Little Eight appeared.

"Giggle, young master, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ba asked in surprise, judging from its appearance, it should be giving a lesson to the students of the Knights Academy.

Green said calmly, "Say goodbye to your students. Get ready, our mission is over, it's time to go back."

Going back, of course, refers to the Seventh Ring Holy Tower.

After all, Green was only a first-level wizard. The only thing he could do to help Master Nine-Headed Wrath was to make Mothfrog City develop better, have a larger population, select more wizard apprentices, and thus create more wizards and increase the chances of gathering the source of magic power.

That's it!

Like the Lord of the World, the power of the Stigmata Wizard no longer represents himself, but a responsibility—the responsibility to maintain development.

Over the course of fifty years, Green led Mothfrog City to develop step by step and achieved considerable success.

But if Green doesn't have a Saint Mark Wizard above him, how many wizards would be willing to spend their precious time to provide their wisdom for the development of these commoners?

The Nine-Headed Wrathful Saint Mark Wizard spent five hundred years transforming the area around the Nine-Headed Wrathful Wizard Academy into a greenhouse suitable for ordinary humans to live in. He led hundreds or even thousands of "Moth-Frog Cities" to develop together, and then used the native wizards born on the land to gather their own source of magic!

The source of magic is hard-won; it is a responsibility of the Saintly Mark Wizard!

"Oh... I understand."

After his excitement subsided, Xiao Ba nodded and flew out of the city lord's mansion.

After nodding to the new city lord of Mothfrog City, the witch apprentice, Green said to the steward behind him, who looked reluctant to part with him, "Summon Commander Mu Yi and Commander Bo Xiang Yu Lan."

Two hourglasses later.

Green, who had transplanted the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon's original bloodline sorcery seeds to Mu Yi and Bo Xiangyulan respectively, stood up, woke up the two who were under anesthesia, and handed them a complex map that, although brief, contained an immense amount of information.

"From now on, you will cultivate your Qi and blood power day after day to unleash the power of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon. This is a map to the Knights' Perseverance Academy in the Underground Abyss World, and also the pure sulfur powder you need. At your speed, it will take at least thirty years to get there. Keep an eye on the amount of sulfur powder you have along the way."

Mu Weiwei has been recruited by the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy to become a wizard apprentice. Whether she can embark on the path of a wizard is entirely up to her.

"Thank you, Lord Green."

"Thank you, Master."

The two felt the seemingly limitless potential of their inner energy and blood within them, and wept with joy.

Green nodded, and then Hachi appeared in a flash. It was clear that the guy was feeling down because he was about to leave the knight school that was practically his own.

Slowly, Green put the gray-white spiral patterned Mask of Truth back on his face, took out the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff, and left the city lord's mansion step by step.

However, the moment Green stepped out of the city lord's mansion, he saw hundreds of thousands of residents of his small town standing quietly on the street. The strong sense of reluctance and gratitude mixed together made the whole street incredibly quiet and oppressive.

"My lord, they all came to see you off after learning that you were about to leave office."

Behind Green, the steward, wearing round black-rimmed glasses, spoke with slightly moist eyes and a choked voice.

This accountant, it can be said, watched Green gradually develop and expand Mothfrog City after his father replaced the corrupt accountant.

Green stood there for a long time, seemingly unsure of what to say. The setting sun shone on the mysterious gray-white spiral pattern of Truth, imbuing the dark wizard's mystery and coldness with a touch of human warmth.

Green's eyes were unfocused, the evening breeze making his wizard's robes and long golden hair flutter and drying the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

Facing the setting sun and the evening breeze, Green finally said in a low voice, "Everyone, go back and live your lives well."

With just that one sentence, Green flew towards the enormous figure of the Thousand-Eyed Crab on the horizon with Little Eight, without looking back even once more.

"Lord Grimm! Someday, I will become like you..."

Behind Green, Mu Yi, a man of few words but upright and steady, suddenly burst into tears and shouted at Green, who was flying towards the distant horizon. His inspiring shouts gradually faded away as Green's figure disappeared into the distance.
