Zhang Mu suddenly felt that what the two deputy city lords said were not entirely wrong. The city lord did lack some experience and understanding of life.
When looking for a wife, why can you only look at the face?
"She's a good woman." Zhang Mu smiled and whispered to himself, "She's just not suitable for me."
"Lord City Lord, are you calling me?" Hearing his muttering, Palina straightened up and turned around to ask.
Without answering, he said, "Just ask the servants to do these things."
"You don't like servants in your study. Let me do it."
After a moment of silence, I asked her, "Are you used to being here?"
"very good."
This is obviously a lie.
She has been neglected for a long time in the "harem", and she is the one with the best appearance. It would be strange if she was not bullied.
Her bedroom is located in the most remote location in the backyard, and the environment inside the house is also the worst.
"I've been ignoring you. It's not my fault."
"Aren't you always with Palina now?"
As she spoke, she leaned on the mop with both hands and asked in a questioning tone: "Lord City Lord... were you injured in the Quiet Forest?"
"Hmm, what's up?"
"Every night..." She hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "You close your eyes and fall asleep every night after you go to bed. Is that... what's hurt?"
Why do you go to bed and sleep every night?
"Haha." Zhang Mu smiled, "What did you call me?"
"Lord City Lord."
That's why.
Waving his hands, he no longer had the heart to admire the beautiful young woman: "No need to clean, go and do your own thing."
"Lord City Lord, did Palina make you angry?" she asked a little panicked.
"No."
She opened her mouth but didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the bucket and mop, turned around and walked out of the house: "I'll bring you lunch at noon."
"No, I'm going to leave town later and won't be back until the evening."
She paused, and her somewhat lonely figure stepped over the threshold and disappeared.
Zhang Mu didn't care, he stood up and stretched lazily: "Really, I've been wearing the mask for so long, I almost thought I was the city lord.
Go and take the repaired house and scenery into the world."
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Mu headed towards the temporary camp outside the city.
Everything is basically complete, and the preliminary environment framework of the academy and the immortal cultivation sect has also been set up. We need to speed up the progress on Blue Star.
Let me think...it's about time that the world knows about the existence of "supernormal".
It has to be a big one, the kind that anyone with sufficient knowledge can see.
Thinking of the four magic spells he had obtained in the city lord's secret room not long ago, Zhang Mu had a rough plan in his mind.
Chapter 140 The plan begins
In order to shorten the refugees' commute to and from work, the construction site for the landscape architecture was chosen to be a grassland not far from the temporary camp.
Naturally, it is also quite close to the city of Gol.
Zhang Mu, who did not travel by carriage, walked through the city gate and arrived at the destination by jogging for half an hour.
Looking not far away.
Green grasslands surround a vast brown and yellow plain. In the center, tall and low pointed-roof buildings form a castle, which is quite different in style from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the movie.
On the right are neatly arranged sections of elevated railway tracks, with some straight sections and the rest being curved structures.
On the left is a towering man-made mountain, dotted with trees, flowers, springs, and rocks, with a group of ancient houses on the top.
At the edge of the open space, there are lakes, low mountains, etc.
Zhang Mu approached with his hands behind his back.
"Hello, Lord City Lord!" In front of the construction site, the guard in charge of maintaining security saw the City Lord and saluted loudly.
Nodding in response, Zhang Mu said, "Ask Huma to come see me."
"Yes, sir." The guard took the order and turned around and ran away towards the construction site where the noise of construction continued.
About ten minutes later, an old man in his sixties, wearing linen clothes, came hurriedly.
"My Lord City Lord, how are you?"
"Yes." Zhang Mu looked at the person in charge of the project he had appointed. "Sauron told me this morning that the first phase of the project has been completed, right?"
"Yes." He smiled somewhat boastfully, "Thank you for your full support, Lord City Lord.
Not only did they provide sufficient manpower, but they also deployed a large number of professionals, so that we could complete the project within the specified time."
As he spoke, his expression became hesitant: "That is..."
"explain."
"The professionals are somewhat dissatisfied with you for transferring them to do construction work."
This was normal and Zhang Mu was not surprised.
They are used to a leisurely and luxurious life. If they are suddenly asked to do dust collection, it would be a miracle if they are willing to do so.
Zhang Mu smiled and said, "Just let me handle this matter."
He does not intend to exert direct and tough pressure.
Even if no one dared to disobey the city lord, if they slacked off, Zhang Mu could not really kill them all because of such a small matter.
They have to work hard voluntarily, and Zhang Mu has his own way of doing this.
But I don't have time to deal with them now. The important thing to do first is to collect the first batch of freshmen and the outer sect servants.
Thinking of this, he ordered: "You have worked hard during this period, take a rest today and get an extra salary."
"Thank you, Lord Mayor, for your kindness and mercy." Huma was very happy and turned around to announce.
After a while, cheers praising the city lord were heard in the construction site.
Then they walked towards the gate in groups of three or five and received their rewards for today at the wooden table set up in front of the door.
Zhang Mu was afraid that a group of people would line up to greet him, so he hid aside early.
After all the workers had gone away and the construction team's supervisor had left, Shiran entered the construction site alone.
Looking around, he drank several bottles of potions that increased his mental and magical powers, and soared into the sky.
Looking down at the square brown-yellow open space, magic power poured into the ring on the index finger of his right hand, and a light gate parallel to the ground emerged and gradually expanded.
When the open space was half its size, Zhang Mu stopped infusing magic power with a pale face.
He then controlled the light gate to slowly fall to the ground, swallowing the academy in the center into the "world", and then repeated the operation until all the architectural scenery disappeared into the open space.
With his eyes closed, Zhang Mu was in the spiritual world, overlooking the miniature floor plan of the "world".
The buildings that had just been taken into the "world" were all floating in the dark void.
Use the power of the core to move them to the designated areas and assemble them like playing with Lego blocks.
The speed is a bit slow, after all, Zhang Mu’s magic level is too low.
Fortunately, after giving commands to each part of the structure, you don’t need to keep an eye on it, just let the core execute it.
After opening his eyes, Zhang Mu landed on the ground and returned all the way back to the City Lord’s Mansion.
He called Soran and told him that he would go deep into the Silent Forest for a few days, and asked him to issue a mission to find a priest.
Wait for him to respond and leave, then call out the portal to return to reality.
"Hmm——" He stretched lazily in the workshop which now seemed a bit cramped after adding a lot of equipment.
"In seven or eight days, the main parts of the immortal cultivation sect and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will be basically set up, which will be more than enough to recruit people.
For other scenes and celestial phenomena, use the core to create illusions. Anyway, I am watching them, and they can't enter the unopened areas.
Interview letter, the sect's jade pendant for accepting disciples, you have to hurry up and grab it."
After thinking it over, Zhang Mu decided to take advantage of the time to look for new servants to complete the refining of the necessary puppets.
Fortunately, I have someone under my control now, and someone will be in charge of collecting materials once I tell them to do so.
Otherwise, you would work yourself to death and might not be able to collect everything you need even in ten years.
He walked around the workshop with his head down: "I have contacted Zhao Qi and his team in China. In Yingguo, let's mail Toby an interview letter."
Without wasting any more time, Zhang Mu activated the shadow technique and rushed to the MI6 office building.
……
MI6.
Toby sat at his workstation, looking at the computer screen, holding the mouse in his right hand and moving it from time to time.
The screen displayed a web page, which reported that the capture of owls in London had become increasingly rampant recently and was showing a tendency to spread to surrounding cities.
"Ryan, these people are idiots."
A voice came from the next room: "Don't you always believe in the existence of magicians?"
"That's why." Toby said helplessly, "I hope their brains full of cow dung can learn to think. Will the pets raised by magicians be caught by ordinary people?"
"Okay, you're right."
Several months have passed since the day he met the wizard at Rowling's villa. During this time, Ryan heard Toby muttering "wizard", "owl" and "interview letter" every day.
From the initial argument to the current "Ah, yes, yes, yes", Ryan has given up on saving his colleagues.
Not wanting to continue discussing boring rumors, he poked his head out of the plastic partition and asked, "What did the director say to you in his office this morning?"
