News of Alex killing all the elf hunters and saving a mercenary group spread rapidly among mercenaries, but that was not the only good news.
The elves had been saved. Some of them had put themselves out of their misery before Alex got to them, but the rest of them were alive and somewhat well.
Alex had done this great deed, not the Gray Temple.
He found their hideout and killed all of them single-handed.
The name “Alex” was the one they talked about the most in Chaos City tonight. They recalled his acts of heroism in the past and praised his bravery and other eminent virtues.
They suddenly realized that the past three years without Alex had been dull and unexciting.
Now he was back, and in less than a month, he had become the main topic of conversation.
He had killed six level 10s and the spatial demon patriarch in Rodu. Then he appeared in the Wind Forest, wounded an elder of the elves, and saved Irina. He came to Chaos City and declared all wandering elves were under his protection.
Today, he descended from the sky and slew all the elf hunters.
He was a human, to be sure, but he was revered as a hero by many species.
…
Mag couldn’t care less what other people thought of him. Nothing was more important to him than his daughter. He wiped the foam off Amy’s nose and helped her hold Ugly Duckling, who was struggling to get out of the bathtub.
“Stop it, Ugly Duckling! If you don’t take a bath, you can forget about sleeping in my bed. I can’t stand the smell coming off you,” Amy threatened as the cat clawed at the bathtub wildly.
Ugly Duckling stopped struggling immediately. It gazed at Amy, trying to gauge whether she was angry or not. After it was convinced she meant what she had just said, it withdrew its paws and gave an obedient meow.
Amy nodded. “Good duck.” She squeezed some animal shampoo onto its hair and massaged it in with her fingertips. “Why don’t you learn to swim, Ugly Duckling? Then you’ll be able to save me if we fall into water together.”
Ugly Duckling’s eyes went round, suddenly frightened.
“If I fall into water… I just realized I’ll never fall into water. I can fly! But you may, and when you do, I won’t be able to pull you out because you’re too fat! So…”
“Meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling edged backward slowly, afraid.
“Get over here.
“I said get over here!
“Trust me, you don’t want me to come to you.
“Good duck. Now swim.”
Mag watched as the cat started swimming reluctantly. Since it was its first time swimming, it swallowed a lot of water. It quickly got the hang of it, though, and its dog paddle was getting better fast.
After he dried its hair and tucked Amy in, Mag went up to the balcony.
It was cold and dark outside. Mag pulled his clothes more tightly around himself, looking up at the starry sky thoughtfully.
It had been almost four months since he got transported to this world. He had hated it here at first, but as time went by, he had come to love this strange continent. It had been an amazing journey for him.
If not for Amy, he might not have been able to hold on so long; he might have given up when the system locked him up to train in the test field for the first time. After all, he had always been a lazy person.
This world was far from being peaceful, but maybe he could make it a tad less sh*tty.
Mag stood there, thinking about the problems at hand and possible solutions.
In three months, the peace treaty signed by all the species 100 years ago would expire. Whether they chose to renew the treaty would determine whether this relative peace could continue.
After the birthday banquet for the king of the Roth Empire, each species had been expected to make an announcement appealing for peace, but they didn’t, so this renewal would definitely not go smoothly. After 100 years of recuperation, each species would have their own plans. Obviously, it wouldn’t be easy for them to reach an agreement.
It was highly unlikely that there would be a full-on war, though. After all, as powerful as dragons were, they had suffered heavy losses in the last war.
However, local wars would be inevitable. They would probably try to redivide their territories according to strength. Many innocent people would be caught up in wars and die.
Considering his influence, Mag could do little; even Alex couldn’t prevent what was going to happen. Mag could use Alex’s influence to put pressure on some species, but that was the best he could do.
The restaurant was now on the right track. After today’s upgrading and expansion, the revenue should be able to rise a lot.
He had just spent a huge amount of money on one strength point. He didn’t know when he could earn enough money to buy another 0.5 strength point, so it was unlikely that his strength would skyrocket anytime soon.
He had sold his patent on the steam engine to the Buffett Banks and gotten 10% shares in trains and 20% shares in steam engines. The possibility of mass production of steam engines and him receiving huge profits was small.
To make profits in the freight business, one had to invest an insane amount of money in building railways first.
Mag was more optimistic about the application of steam engines in other industries.
Steam engines could be used in many different businesses, such as textile mills, machine shops, and smelting plants. Their selling point was efficiency. Once put into mass production, they would bring him and Buffett Banks huge profits.
Mag knew that steam engines would’ve probably helped him become the wealthiest man on the continent if he hadn’t sold the patent.
Yet he was too lazy to turn steam engines into money, so he left it to Buffett Banks. They were professionals who were better at making money than he was. They would make him rich enough.
