Day by day, time passed, and however unwelcome it was, the season inevitably entered midsummer.
For the people of the countries in the southern half of the Sains Continent, midsummer was always exceptionally hot. Nobody wanted to sweat out in the open beneath the merciless sun. It was sheer torment.
But when they thought of every drop of sweat eventually being paid for in glittering gold coins, that torment became much easier to bear.
That was precisely what the workers from the Amli Merchant Guild at the Xinfei Magic Industry College construction site had in mind. Despite the waves of heat washing over them, they kept working hard.
The Amli Merchant Guild was not, in fact, an organization that failed to care for its workers. On the contrary, among the merchant guilds of the Lampari Kingdom and its neighboring countries, it had always treated its employees exceptionally well.
It was just that the Xinfei Merchant Guild had set an extremely tight deadline for this Magic Industry College, actually demanding that the Amli Merchant Guild complete and hand it over before the end of the year. That was why they had to toil beneath the blazing midsummer sun.
The workers sent here had also been divided into two shifts. Even at night, one shift continued working under Magic Lamps, letting practically not a single minute go to waste.
It was precisely because they made such good use of their time that construction of the Xinfei Magic Industry College progressed so remarkably fast.
Work had only been approved to begin last month, yet in just one month, the foundations for most of the buildings in this enormous college, which covered more than five square kilometers, had already been finished, and the campus was beginning to take shape.
