Tian Yuan Calendar, Day 361 of Year One.
Mu Yuan sat in his office, flipping through the documents submitted by the various departments and approving them one by one.
Outside the door, workers hurried past from time to time. The bustle within the City Lord's Mansion was also far livelier than before.
--Isroya had recruited and trained a new batch of clerks, filling positions in the Municipal Department and its subordinate institutions.
After all, wartime had passed. If they did not recruit more clerks while they had the chance, the Municipal Department would be short-handed again if war broke out someday.
Compared with the territory's population of more than thirty thousand, Tian Yuan City's municipal staff were pitifully few. They had barely maintained operations only because a certain hero was shouldering several positions at once.
This was actually detrimental to the territory's stability.
Take the Tian Yuan City Defense War, for example. If the war had lasted a little longer—one or two days—the territory would have struggled to maintain stability.
He could not let Isroya continue shouldering so many positions.
After all, if war broke out, he would still need someone to preside over the Epic Mage Tower. Only Isroya could bring out the tower's power to its fullest.
A girl wearing a star-blue robe, with a star-shaped ornament hanging from one earlobe, entered the office.
She was Isroya's adjutant, Moli, the most outstanding among the first and second batches of Starlight Scholar class-transfer units.
"Lord, these are the documents from Minister Isroya."
She placed the stack of documents in her arms—which was piled so high it almost blocked her entire face—on a nearby table with a thump.
Was this a little too much?
Great Lord Mu, however, remained completely unruffled.
"Give me a brief summary," he said.
"Yes."
