Under the Moonlight

In the third month in Wigster City, the Magic Continent Association Branch was successfully established in the town, and Li Yan also successfully recruited several capable mages as reserves for the Mage Legion.

Godmother Flamme and Frieren also came to Wigster City to visit him. The city has become incredibly popular throughout the Kingdom because of a Food Street. Several Fried Chicken Shops have opened in the city, and Fruit Tea shops are also booming, with several branches in the city.

Frieren ate her Sundae Ice Cream and stared in disbelief at the food stalls lining the street. Her eyes were wide open; this was her first time getting everything for free, and she could eat all the food on this Food Street for free.

This was solely because she was a so-called "free person" on this Food Street. This was a standard specially arranged by Li Yan, where her close master, Junior Sister, Grandmaster, and maid all enjoyed the highest level of treatment for free.

"Godmother, you've looked even more beautiful than before!"

Li Yan naturally took Flamme's hand, and as usual, they strolled around town together with Flamme and Frieren. The Little Fool followed behind them, eating the same standard Sundae Ice Cream as Frieren.

"A Yan, you're teasing your Godmother again. I never imagined that in just these few days, Tiger Roar Earl Territory would be divided up, and you would become the Lord of a territory. The Wigster City Town is well-governed by you, and everything is moving in a good direction. Your Godmother is very pleased."

"You've grown up, A Yan, you've truly matured."

Flamme gazed tenderly at Li Yan. Along the way, the surrounding residents had greeted her with exceptional warmth. Compared to Tiger Roar Earl's rule, the Wigster City Town had become increasingly prosperous under Li Yan's governance. This had not only boosted Wigster City Town's economy, ensuring every household had enough to eat, wear, and live a comfortable life, but also given every child the right to learn magic, practice physical fitness, and develop a skill.

The Wigster Vocational and Technical College charges only 500 copper coins per year for tuition. The three-year program aims to cultivate more talent for the Wigster City Town.

As the honorary principal, Li Yan built a statue of her Godmother Flamme, inside the school, hailed as the greatest magician in the magical world. Students of Wigster Vocational and Technical College salute her during their morning reading and exercises, considering her the person they are most grateful to for allowing them to enjoy school life.

Not for any other reason than that the honorary principal's teacher was Flamme.

After the visit, Flamme was very pleased with Li Yan's various ingenious ideas. Applying magic to life, she seemed to see the life of magicians in a peaceful era a thousand years later.

"A Yan, you really are a magician who would be suited to living in a peaceful era. What a pity."

Flamme couldn't help but sigh.

"Like Frillian? A magician in a peaceful era." Li Yan couldn't help but recall the argument between her godmother and her grandmaster, Seria.

"Um?"

Frieren blinked her bewildered eyes and turned her head innocently. She seemed to have heard her senior brother mention her.

Night fell. After a day of shopping, Frieren was exhausted and fell asleep. Flamme sat at the sandalwood wooden table, looking through the files of the Magic Continent Association Branch.

"Godmother, have a cup of fruit tea, don't tire yourself out."

Li Yan placed a bowl of refreshing fruit tea with lemon on the table. Flamme put down the documents in her hand, took the tea, and took a sip.

"It's a little sweet and sour, it tastes really good, A Yan."

Flamme licked her moist lips, a smile appearing on her face. She had witnessed A Yan's growth firsthand.

"Godmother, are you still busy with matters related to the Magic Continent Association?"

Li Yan approached Flamme, gently placed her hands on Flamme's shoulders, and lightly massaged her back to relieve her fatigue.

"Looking at the differences in magic among the members of the Magic Continent Association from different regions, it's clear that the magic mastered in some regions shares a lot in common with their local customs. For example, the Northern Regions are inhabited by hunting peoples, and the magic they use relies on their physical strength. Their physiques are incredibly powerful, and the magic they use is also of a very high type."

Feeling the tingling sensation on her shoulder, Flamme explained the differences in magic between various regions to Li Yan, and of course, she also praised Li Yan for the excellence of the Barrier Magic she had proposed.

Li Yan listened in a daze, her gaze fixed intently on the abyss, her filial piety gradually turning sour.

Seemingly sensing the somewhat intense gaze, Flamme chuckled and looked up, pulling Li Yan into her arms. "A Yan, did you hear what I just said clearly?"

"Mmm... I heard that. Magic varies greatly from region to region."

Li Yan nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. Although he was buried in the dirt, it did not affect his ability to vividly recall his Godmother's words.

"Hmm, A Yan was being naughty just now."

Flamme lowered her face, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. The moment Li Yan looked up, their faces were very close, only a cherry blossom leaf apart.

The moonlight shone softly on Flamme, and her warm breath gently caressed Li Yan's face. In this situation, Li Yan felt that if she moved just one centimeter closer, the world would overlap.

"Um..."
