Chapter 141 Miracle
Kreeher's return did not cause much change to Chen Hao's daily routine. It just changed his habit from 1v2 every night to 1v1 or 1v2, or even 1v3.
Because he still had so much to study, his life continued as usual: he studied during the day, slept at night, and occasionally discussed political affairs and social development with Norren.
In these days, the residents of Braniko have grown to admire their newly appointed lord more and more. Although he doesn't show his face much, his life has improved at a visible pace as the decrees issued by the lord's mansion are carried out in an orderly manner.
With the help of earth magic and the lord's private legion, the Atast, factories sprang up outside the city. These factories were designed to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental pollution through magic. The various factories that were built later not only concentrated manpower and rapidly increased productivity, but also solved the employment problem for many people.
The bricks produced from the brick factory, through the convenience of gathering manpower and magic, were quickly put into the construction of Braniko. The area outside the city ushered in a new expansion, and some barren and unreasonable places in the city were also demolished and rebuilt. Although many residents complained about this, they were soon appeased by the large resettlement allowance and demolition compensation and exclaimed that it was really good.
In less than a month, the buildings in Braniko were rearranged again, becoming more rigorous and orderly. The wide roads were divided into pedestrian and vehicle lanes, and the clean ground was free of filth and garbage. Fines were imposed for littering and allowing monsters to urinate or defecate outside. Neat houses were arranged in an orderly manner, and trash cans and magic streetlights were visible everywhere along the roadside, demonstrating civilization and progress. Everything was becoming better.
Such rapid construction speed is also thanks to the more than one thousand [Atarsts]. Despite the sudden increase of one thousand people, agriculture and animal husbandry did not lag behind. They could have used magic and monster manure to irrigate and make them grow even faster. After the lord intervened with his magical powers, they were able to supply the entire town. There was even a lot of surplus that could be stored as grain or sold through merchants for profit.
When Setsuna and Tsukuyomi returned and brought their respective people to Braniko, they were stunned by the completely transformed town. Was this still the Braniko they knew? The changes were too drastic!
The addition of the two demi-human groups did not cause too much of a stir in Braniko. Braniko is currently in the process of development and construction, and it needs manpower and can fully accommodate them.
The Ice Wolves also discovered their secret to wealth here: using their racial talent to create and sell ice. In this age without refrigerators, ice is the best tool for storing and preserving food. Ice, which was originally in short supply, has become a common resource that everyone can use after the Ice Wolves joined them.
Although the Mooncat Clan doesn't have such useful innate skills, Tsukuyomi managed to get a night patrol position by whispering sweet nothings in the Lord's ear, and she's doing quite well. They already have excellent night vision and strong farsightedness, making them very suitable for night patrols. Moreover, they can also receive the blessing of moonlight at night, which will enhance their combat power. This position can be said to be the most suitable for the Mooncat Clan.
Then Eve returned, bringing with her only few hundred remaining members of her tribe. The arrival of the Blackwing Clan caused quite a stir in the demon circles of Braniko. Some die-hard loyalists of the Demon King prepared to eliminate these Blackwing Clan members in order to show their loyalty to the noble Demon King.
Then the Atasts came knocking on their door. The android soldiers, shouting, "Loyalty is not absolute! It's absolutely disloyal!", wielded plasma lightsabers and chopped the disloyal potential terrorists they needed to eliminate into pieces. This made everyone in Branico realize whose territory the town now belonged to.
From this day forward, Braniko officially returned to human rule, but also embraced all races and declared independence, not belonging to any national power. With the subtle guidance that Noren had been providing beforehand, even if Chen Hao were to declare himself emperor, no one would oppose him; on the contrary, a large number of people would likely support him.
However, Chen Hao was not in a hurry to become emperor. He still had something to do: to accomplish a miracle with Eve.
What is a "miracle"?
That is to achieve extraordinary things that are unimaginable and difficult to do.
To come back from the dead is a "miracle".
In Chen Hao's view today, "life" is a complex and precise "machine", and "soul" is the indispensable "hardware" that drives this machine.
【Thinking】is a set of logical operation rules built up from 【data】called 【memory】.
Having developed his healing magic to a certain level, he can now modify and repair machines at will. Even if a part is missing, he can create a new one to replace it. This is because, through visualization and reflection of his own soul, he has come to realize that the soul is the true self, and the physical body is merely a tool used by the soul to interfere with the real world. The philosophical concept of the Ship of Theseus no longer troubles him. He can use healing magic to continuously create new parts to replace his old ones, thereby achieving immortality.
