Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 579 Magic To Fix the World fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

After the residents got their fill of food, they were more upbeat than usual. There were still supplies that would keep them going for a short amount of time, but nothing permanent for now.

However, things naturally already started to have a somewhat positive change in the city. Repairs on some of the households, the large holes in the road that would get a cart stuck once in a while, the people were starting to get to work.

They had more energy than before, and it allowed them to work on the serious problems that would help out their family situation.

It was by no means perfect, there was still too much worry in the townʼs peoplesʼ minds.

The one saving grace for Raze and his group was the townʼs population was low at that of around three thousand people, otherwise, his funds would be used rather quickly.

At the moment, Raze was in one of the close-knit houses that the Flesh Clan once used to use. It was a mess and full of trash all over the place, so he needed to do some cleaning.

With his magic, he swept out the rubbish with ease, and there was something else he did. He tore down the walls between the five houses, to make it a larger singular house.

He then placed reinforced beams in certain areas to make sure that the floor didnʼt collapse giving him a much larger area to work with compared to before.

ʼWith the remainder of the funds, Iʼve asked Fixteen to try and buy supplies to build up a clan base. Eventually, we will need to get more people on our side, just like that of the old Lethal Bite Clan.ʼ

ʼItʼs a shame that I canʼt use my connections with Harbour to help me, but with him being in the Dark Faction, it would be impossible.ʼ Raze thought.

It would take some time to build such a place, so Raze would use this temporarily, and they could use it for other things in the future as well.

He did think it was a shame there were some types of magic he had yet to gain affinity with, such as Earth and Fire. Using these two, he could have built structures himself.

This was the other issue, in order to have the town thriving and growing with crops, one of the main sources needed was water, and he had yet to gain affinity with Water either.

”Which means for now, there is only one thing I can rely on, and that is the crafting of these pills.” Raze said as he placed his hand on the ground.

Magic circles lit up all over the area, mass producing pills, one after the other.

After creating a large amount of pills, Raze was on his way to deliver them. He had asked for the help of a few young men who seemed to have nothing to do.

They smiled, giving Raze a bow and helped him without question. Everyone around the town already knew the man with black hair and the small mask was the Dark Magus, so they were willing to help him.

Eventually, they had reached the townhouse, which was where Fixteen and the Mayor were discussing a number of matters that needed to be dealt with one after the other.

Heading inside, the pills were placed in the corner of one of the rooms, while Raze and Fixteen went to one side to talk about them.

Raze noticed that Fixteen was constantly shaking his head, there must have been countless problems with the town.

Thankfully, in terms of politics, Fixteen was dealing with nearly all of it.

”Youʼve made a lot this time… this is good.” Fixteen said, looking at the items. ”With the sales, do you want me to help with supplies for the city?”

”Do the bare minimum.” Raze ordered. ”And store the rest, while handing some to me for my journeys. Also, donʼt forget to treat yourself as well.”

”I want the townʼs people themselves to be the ones that repair and fix this city. If they do that, they will appreciate it more, and look after it. They will be less inclined to leave as well.”

”The main focus for now is to keep them from being hungry and make sure the population doesnʼt lower. With these pills, you said you wanted to sell them in the Dark Faction and the Light Faction, but will they sell? Especially since they know theyʼre from the Demonic Faction and now with our standing?” Raze asked.

”Of course, they will.” Fixteen placed his hand across his chest with absolute confidence. ”The effects of the pills are too great, everyone else already knows that.”

”The other factions canʼt afford not to buy them, otherwise it will be an advantage that the Demonic Faction has over that of the other Factions, they wouldnʼt want to be left behind.”

”Is there a chance that this will make the Demonic Faction hate us?” Raze asked.

The look on Fixteenʼs face was as if the answer was obvious. His lips and cheeks were relaxed for a moment.

”You mean hate us more. Right now we have the Behemoth Clan on our back, everyone wants a piece of you and they think youʼre being favored by the Neverfall Clan.”

”One of the issues I was talking with the mayor about was the neighboring Clans. Some of them are thinking of testing or taking over the city, since they know that there arenʼt warriors here.”

”Even with Raynaʼs strength, they believe they can do something. So, theyʼre asking for payment, but we donʼt even have any coins for that.”

Raze thought about it for a while and eventually came up with an answer.

”If the Crimson Crane comes, it might solve the issue with the smaller clans. For now as a complimentary gift, hand them some pills free of charge. Tell them as long as they stay friendly they will continue to get the supplies.”

”When the situation changes weʼll pull back and start charging them. Right now, theyʼre bullying us, but we are in a weak state so we need to comply.”

”Right.” Fixteen said, surprised Raze had come up with quite a good answer. ”There is still one issue, the Behemoth Clan, are not just going to accept a payment of pills, they truly hate you.”

”Which is why we need to get ready.” Raze answered.

Before leaving the town hall, Raze met up with Rayna. They had discussed the matters at hand, and she had decided that she would be the one to travel to the following Clans.

If she made her presence known, they were less likely to try something. It also showed importance due to the person sent.

It was also her way of helping in the situation, because she had no idea or plans of what to do with the city.

In the meantime, Anna had also gone to the location of the portal that used to belong to the Flesh Clan, she was scouting out the level of the portal as well as bringing out some crystals.

Now that left Raze to work on his next project, which was the special shield for Tilon from the Crimson Crane. As he had worked away, making a couple of failures with other materials, an announcement had been made.

”The Crimson Crane, they have arrived!” Someone shouted from the other side of the door.
