Although not perfect, the nightmare that occurred in Chelfa finally ended thanks to our efforts.
The whole process was absurd and chaotic, and thinking back, it was quite terrifying.
Fortunately, we were a group of relentless fighters, or else it would have been difficult for us to emerge victorious.
It's hard to say whether it was our luck or misfortune.
But now that it's over, all we can do is help the original residents of Chelfa Imperial City rebuild their city.
Of course, most of the residents have already been temporarily relocated to nearby cities, and only the physically strong ones have stayed to help with the reconstruction.
The rebuilding process is proceeding rapidly, and of course, it couldn't have been achieved without the guidance of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Yaling, the two true Chelfans.
My role is to assign the reconstruction tasks to the workers as planned, after all, my intimidating level of affinity with the Chelfans makes me feel quite guilty when the residents look at me with friendly eyes every day.
And everyone is enthusiastic about the tasks I assign, it's like a frenzy, and it makes me even more guilty.
After all, I am partly responsible for the complete destruction of Chelfa Imperial City, so it's uncomfortable for me when you all do this.
So, I actively joined the reconstruction efforts as well.
Of course, I have no concept of rebuilding, so I could only use shape-shifting magic to create a large number of ice chests to transport building materials.
Then the ice totems transport those materials to higher ground.
Fortunately, people from the "Knights of Light" also participated in the reconstruction work, and naturally, there was coordination between us, as I included their assistance in the conditions for attributing credit to them, which made them willing to help.
They really are a lazy bunch.
But the conditions didn't stop there; the rebuilding conditions also included the permission to build high-level churches in Chelfa Imperial City and a public appreciation from the Chelfans towards the Church. But we naturally won't spend any money on these things, so it doesn't matter.
As Princess Sillie put it, the Kingdom of Chelfa is currently in great chaos and having the Church help with construction and calming the people's hearts would make the domestic situation more stable.
Although I also proposed the idea of the Kingdom of Chelfa communicating for an alliance with the Ais Empire, after all, I am the National Mage of the Ais Empire, Princess Sillie thought that showing goodwill to other countries at this time might give them an opportunity to take advantage, so it's better to be cautious.
I don't understand politics, and since Princess Sillie, the expert in this area, said so, I won't say anything either.
Of course, the focus is still on reconstruction.
Originally, the progress was extremely slow, but on the second day, Ms. Mary brought the large machines they built at the "Thane Gate," which increased the speed of reconstruction by at least tenfold.
On the third day, a three-story hotel was completed, resolving the discomfort of everyone camping in tents.
Although the walls were made of quickly assembled reinforced panels, the residents, who had been living in tents for a few days, were already satisfied being able to lie down on a bed again.
And the "Blue Moon" group formed by Lanya and Xiao Zhe is the company that can deliver various reconstruction materials across the entire continent within a day. As a result, all the goods for this reconstruction are purchased from them.
Of course, we all put the bills on the church's account.
So, for two consecutive weeks, we stayed at the old site of Chelfa Imperial City, with people from other cities in Chelfa coming to help, which accelerated the progress.
And now, Imperial City finally has the semblance of its original appearance, and most of the residents have returned to restart their lives in Chelfa Imperial City.
"Ah, it's too much, there are too many residents and the demand for various goods is also high! We can't keep up with the progress at all," Lanya sighed, leaning on the table with a worried look on her face.
"Hahaha, they say it's better to let the people below handle it themselves, but you're doing it all by yourself, of course, it's tiring," said Xiao Zhe, laughing as he picked up the documents Lanya had tossed on the table and handed them to someone who seemed to be his subordinate.
"I would feel completely useless if I did that..."
"Then you can go to the academy and develop new tools. Leave the business with the merchants outside to us professionals."
"Professionals? You guys are just a bunch of gangsters... well, it does bring in impressive sales, I'm too lazy to ask you what methods you've used. Just don't go too far, my reputation in the academy has already been completely ruined by those nobles. Don't let my reputation outside be ruined as well, or else I won't have anywhere to do business anymore."
"Don't you still have Fir as your biggest customer? Hahaha."
With that, these two unscrupulous businessmen looked at me.
"Oh, speaking of which..."
I nodded, then took out a transaction card with 700,000 gold coins and handed it to Lanya.
"100 bottles of fast recovery magic potions. When can you deliver them?"
"Pfft!"
Xiao Zhe directly spewed out his tea.
"Lanya boss! What are you selling? Let's mass-produce it! 100 bottles would be 700,000 gold coins, that's just outrageous!"
"You think the materials are cheap? Each bottle of potion, worth 7,000 gold coins, requires 6,500 gold coins worth of materials and takes a long time to make."
Lanya still had that lazy look on her face, but she took my card.
"Here are 15 bottles for you to use first. I'll slowly make the rest."
"That's fine."
I smiled and put the potions back into my ring.
"Well, you guys continue your discussion. I'll go see the city first."
"Take care~"
Both of them waved at me, and I smiled wryly before leaving the airship.
Of course, this is their "Blue Moon" group's own airship, purchased directly from the "Gate of Thane," although it doesn't have as many weapons as our airship, it has the advantage of a large cargo capacity and the same flying speed.
Completely blue in color, with a silver moon on top, this guy's paint job is quite distinctive.
Of course, I don't want to comment on Dale's taste anymore - this guy just completely painted our ship silver and wrote "neet" on it. And he even named it the "2D No."
But I think this is already good enough. If there were reference drawings, he might have gone crazy with the airship and the paint job would be more than just this simple.
Well... I don't really care anyway.
"Isn't this Mr. Fir? Would you like some roasted sweet potatoes?"
"Hey, Mr. Fir doesn't have time to eat your hot sweet potatoes. How about trying our grilled chicken fillet?"
"I have fresh orange juice, would you like some too?"
As I passed by the commercial area, the shop owners who had resumed business greeted me one after another.
I don't know if it's because of my friendliness or because the princess introduced me as the person who helped solve the crisis in Imperial City during her reconstruction speech, but now almost everyone in Chelfa Imperial City knows me...
I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
"You're too kind, I already had lunch... but I'll take the juice... not so much though, one cup is enough, I can't carry ten cups... hey hey hey, I didn't mean you should put it in a bottle!"
I wonder what their expressions would be like if they knew I would become their national teacher. Although there hasn't been an official appointment, the notification appeared when I completed the main quest before.
Main quest: Revenge, completed
Make Princess Sillie or Prince Deli the ruler of Chelfa.
Completed.
Quest rewards: Experience 10000, gold coins 5000, gained
Gained the title of Chelfa National Teacher.
Improved the goodwill of the people of Chelfa Kingdom towards myself.
After packing several portions of food and drinks, I finally arrived at the temporary palace of the royal family - Chelfa's Dreamship.
Unlike our airship, this was beyond the comprehension of an airship. In Ms. Mary's words, this was not an airship, but a "fortress battleship."
This was the trial version of the "Imperial-style Fortress Battleship," a name given by Ms. Mary, and also the prototype of the "Gate of Thane" trial. The Chelfa royal family, who had lost everything, had nothing left except for the gold coins in the "Bell Bank." So Princess Sillie bought this fortress battleship for 10 million gold coins. For a royal family, having a place to live was more useful than looking at a pile of money.
Speaking of which, I heard the name "Bell Bank" from Xiao Zhe. I had no idea what kind of organization created this credit card before, but now that I knew, I became very interested.
Because this person clearly had a high possibility of being from another world like us.
But the specific details would have to be figured out later. Right now, I should go to Princess Sillie's place and learn about the progress of the reconstruction. If we finish early, we can leave sooner too.
I remember we were on vacation during our trip to the Eastern Continent. It's about time for it to end.
Although I have my own problems with Po Tian City, I am more concerned about the school war issue.
I don't really have any expectations for victory in the academy war, but... right now, we have absolutely no fighting power in the academy. Our points must be completely finished, right?
While I was lost in my thoughts, I had already reached the entrance of the "Chelfa's Dream." I greeted the guards at the entrance and stepped inside the battleship.
