Chapter 93: Chapter 93 The Fairy’s Mech

The production cost and manpower cost of the clay magic figures can be ignored; rounding up, it’s as if these low-level magic figures have no cost. As long as they can be sold, it’s pure profit.

The more Noah thought about it, the more excited he became, eager to immediately emulate his foster mother and set up ten or twenty clay magic figure production lines, then rake in the money.

As the saying goes, you only realize how little money you have when you need it. Although the financial pressure of building the Mage City didn’t fall on him, Noah still felt the suffocating pressure, heavy enough to stifle even an Ancient Dragon.

"First complete the production task, then think about your clay,"

Selena glanced at Noah, whose eyes were shining with gold, unable to resist a reminder. She was now the busiest person on this land.

"No problem, don’t worry, I won’t delay the timeline,"

After seeing off his foster mother, Noah did not immediately create magic cores but for the first time officially issued orders to intervene in the fairies’ internal affairs.

He adjusted the work schedule of the fairies, specifically transferring six Great Fairies and a group of Little Fairies skilled in persuasion to reorganize and expand the recruitment department originally spontaneously formed by the fairies.

The number of fairies under his command was simply too small. Noah felt it necessary to shelter more Little Fairies, so they no longer had to worry about survival and could embrace a better and brighter future.

The Golden Dragon felt obliged to help the fairies, to bring back the Fairy Kingdom that now only exists in stories and legends. During the process, fairies contributing their meager efforts to do some capable tasks was also just and reasonable.

Rumble——

Although a notice had been issued to the entire city in advance, when an Extreme Intent Mage fearlessly displayed the power capable of stirring an elemental torrent to flatten the mountaintop over a hundred meters high, it still caused great shock, widespread minor geological shifts, and considerable panic among the citizens.

This scene was too frightening, the mountaintop that had stood at the end of the plain for unknown ages suddenly disintegrated.

This was the most desperate thing for the city’s residents living at the mountain’s foot, but it was a dismantling project long prepared for.

The rocks and soil rolling down the mountainside gradually lost their impact under the guidance of a colossal force, gathering at one place. These would all serve as raw materials for creating rock magic statues.

The construction of the Mage City, accompanied by the disintegration of the mountaintop, was also officially declared to begin, with hundreds of rock magic statues, under the same will’s control, transporting one engraved rune heavy cornerstone after another up the mountain.

As Noah’s foster mother said, this is a grand and burdensome project, and if ordinary people were to carry it out, it would surely result in widespread mourning. The ruler hosting this project would also be judged as evil by many benevolent forces and likely face punishment by some extreme justices.

However, using a magic statue cluster to complete these heavy tasks would only attract envious gazes, even from the most extreme paladins, marveling:

Mages are truly wealthy!

"With the project starting, there are more things, but I’m more at ease. Indeed, recruiting more fairies was the right move,"

The Golden Dragon, slender yet powerful in strength and elegance, lay lazily atop the palace, observing from afar the mountain transformed by the magic statue cluster.

Those participating in the mountain transformation weren’t just the magic statues but also Noah’s cloud giants. These giants with independent civilizations have excellent construction techniques.

However, the cloud giants, as intelligent and dignified life forms, couldn’t be exploited endlessly like magic statues and made to perform endless labor.

Magic statues, with their unrelenting power and tireless efforts, are the best choice for building the Mage City. Currently, one steel magic statue production line and three rock magic statue production lines are all under the Golden Dragon’s control.

The Great Fairies, as extensions of Noah’s will, determine production line efficiency, the quantity of magic statues produced, and the quality of the final product.

With the help of magic statue production lines, Noah also controlled numerous wild mages, although most of these mages, having sold themselves, had no idea their real superior was Noah, the Holy Dragon.

Because Noah didn’t bother with these generally unpromising fellows, the truly potential mages would never be on the production line.

Even so, this was still a force to be reckoned with. No matter how poor the mages seemed, in the eyes of ordinary people, they were still high-and-mighty spellcasters.

Yet no one would have thought that these noble spellcasters were spending their days daily on the production line, expending mana to repeatedly engrave inscriptions and doing so with relish.

However, their labor and contributions could earn them rewards, allowing them to acquire the knowledge they desired, and even exchange for a complete magic statue.

Of course, the most top-tier steel magic statues are currently not for sale; even for self-use, they are insufficient, so how could they be sold? What they sold were rock magic statues deemed as defective and mass-produced clay magic figures.

These low-grade magic figures, dismissively regarded by an Extreme Intent Mage like the Duchess, were, as merchandise, highly sought-after and particularly popular.

The merchants coming and going and the slightly capable mages with little accumulation all enjoyed purchasing these inexpensive clay magic figures. The former used them for production and wealth creation, while the latter aimed to gain knowledge.

To Noah, books at his fingertips were, to wild mages with no inheritance, knowledge they might not obtain even with a lifetime of effort. Clay magic figures, for them, were already a pretty good way to acquire knowledge.

Thus, Noah’s seven clay magic figure production lines ran at full capacity daily, with mainly wild mages working on them, while the Great Fairies occasionally appeared as guides and supervisors.

Notably, although steel magic statues were not sold externally, within the territory, a considerable amount had been awarded as rewards.

Before the mountain transformation project began, on the day the production task of three hundred steel magic statues was completed, all twenty-seven Great Fairies involved in the production received the rewards promised by the Duchess.

Each Great Fairy was awarded a steel magic statue specifically belonging to them. No, using magic statue to describe these specially constructed objects was not suitable.

Because they were specially designed magic statues, having a cockpit built around the Great Fairies’ size at the chest area, allowing the fairies to crawl inside and operate the magic statues.

"The greatest weakness of fairy-type creatures lies in their fragile bodies; even the evolved Great Fairies are no exception, and these specially designed magic statues can effectively protect the Great Fairies’ lives."

This was Selena’s reasoning for the reward.
