After settling Evelyn down, Su Chen cast a healing spell on her. When he got dressed and went downstairs to the study, he suddenly received a message from the system.
[ The construction of the medical center is completed. The system blueprint has been revised.]
Su Chen thought of a priest in the town’s Church. In the past, he had helped to treat people in the town when they were injured, so he should be someone with a benevolent heart. It seemed that he needed to pay a visit to this priest, he wanted to see if he could invite him to work in the medical center.
While he was thinking, the castle’s guard knocked on the door and stood outside the study room, reporting loudly,
“Mayor, Administrative Officer Maggie is here to see you. He is waiting for you in the living room.”
“I got it. I’ll be there right away.” After receiving the notification from the system, Su Chen knew the purpose of Maggie’s visit. It just so happened that he was also looking for Maggie to discuss the matter with the priest.
The living room was set on the second floor of the castle. It was a very large room with a long table in the middle and wooden chairs lined up on both sides.
When Su Chen arrived at the meeting room, he saw Maggie sitting there in a daze with a slightly sad look on her face.
“Hey! Why do you look so sad? You didn’t come to me to bring me bad news, did you?”
Maggie bowed to Su Chen and calmed down the sad look on his face.
He said to Su Chen, “Mayor, I came to bring good news. The construction team in the town has already finished building it according to the blueprints you gave me for the Medical Center. The livestock pen for breeding has also been repaired.”
“I thought you couldn’t complete the task I gave you and were worried that you would get lost. Isn’t that good?”
Maggie stammered, “Mayor, I heard that… The forest wolf seems to be a bit strong, right?”
Su Chen had expected Maggie to report this situation.
Ian must have told Maggie about the threat of the alpha, so he had a worried look on his face.
Su Chen felt that it was necessary to warn Maggie. The other residents of the town did not need to know about this. It would only cause unnecessary panic.
“Maggie, just do your job well. I will take care of the threat and safety of the town. Do you have doubts about my strength?”
Su Chen leaned forward and pretended to be a little angry. His sharp eyes emitted a strong aggressiveness.
“Mayor, I have overstepped my authority.” Maggie felt Su Chen’s sharp eyes. The aura he gave off was like a fierce lion. It was as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast. Her heart was trembling.
“Don’t spread this matter around the town. If I hear any rumors, you’ll get it from me.”
Su Chen stared at Maggie for a while, then withdrew his leaning body and leaned back on the chair.
“Yes, mayor!”
Maggie quickly answered and wiped the sweat off her forehead. The dangerous feeling was still in her heart.
This small mayor was like a lion king that was gradually becoming fierce. His strength was growing rapidly, and at the same time, he was building up his prestige. He could not be too casual in the future.
“Mayor, there’s another strange thing. When I was inspecting the construction of the medical center, the construction blueprint that you gave me suddenly emitted a dazzling light and then disappeared. It seemed to have modified the medical center and a sculpture appeared in the middle.”
A sculpture? This should be the modification of the building according to the system’s blueprint.
Su Chen thought, at the same time, he said to Maggie, “Don’t be surprised, Maggie. That is a magic blueprint. The medical center is still lacking a person in charge. In the afternoon, you and I will visit the town’s priest and then go to the medical center to take a look.
“After the construction team completes the medical center, those who are free will go and make the public toilets that I told you about earlier.
“Remember to raise the construction team’s salary. Only by paying them on time will they have the motivation to work.”
“Don’t worry, mayor. I pay them on time every day.” Maggie nodded and wrote down these words.
“By the way, where do the children in the town learn to read? I don’t see any schools in the town.”
“There are only a few children from wealthy families in the town who will teach them some things. Sometimes the pastor of the church will teach the children. There is indeed no school in the town.”
Maggie said helplessly. The town could barely feed itself. For the poor, education was indeed a luxury.
“That won’t do. In the future, when the town develops, there will be more and more things to do. We need more people with knowledge and skills to manage and build the town. Is there anyone in the town who is qualified to be a teacher?”
“In the past, the Karev family had an initiation teacher. After he was recruited by you, he went to work as a handyman in the construction team. There’s also the town’s priest.”
“This priest knows quite a lot, but I’ve already decided to let him take charge of the medical center.”.
“Transfer the Karev family’s teacher back first. Now that the wood resources are insufficient, there’s no way to build a new school. Let him find an empty house to prepare for the school first.”.
“Also, the reclamation of the wasteland in the small town, and the spring plowing next year…”
..
For the entire morning, Su Chen and Maggie were having administrative discussions in the living room. Along the way, Evelyn came downstairs by herself and poured tea for the two of them several times.
Her face was still as red as paint. As lunchtime approached, Evelyn gently reminded Su Chen by her ear, wanting to ask him what he wanted to eat.
“Oh, I almost forgot lunch. Tell Aunt Bella to prepare a sumptuous lunch today. I want to eat with Maggie.”
Su Chen used an unquestionable tone, making Maggie unable to refuse his hospitality.
Using grace and dignity at the same time, this was the way of a qualified Lord.
Not long after, the servants served a rich meat dish, meat patties, roast chicken, grilled fish, and fragrant mushroom broth.
After a morning of research and discussion, their stomachs were already empty. Su Chen took the lead and started to eat.
Although Maggie was the administrative officer of the town, his salary was not very high. His family was relatively wealthy, and he could only eat meat occasionally.
Every time he came to the mayor’s place to freeload, it was the happiest thing for him.
The two ate heartily, and the dishes on the table were quickly finished.
After a hearty meal, Su Chen asked Evelyn to arrange a room for Maggie for her lunch break.
In the afternoon, they would go to the town church to find the pastor and see how the Medical Center was being built..
