The east area of Nafu City, the construction site of the Magic Academy, is a very remote location close to the city wall.

Claire pointed to the construction drawings above and said, "Tear down all these city walls."

As he spoke, Claire's hand drew a circle around Nafu City's city wall.

"Huh?" The engineering architects were dumbfounded when they heard Claire's words.

"Have you been to Hill City?" Claire asked.

The engineering architects nodded one after another. Hill City is the second largest city in the kingdom. As architects, they have naturally visited it.

"Hill City doesn't have a city wall, so just do it like that." Claire said calmly.

After arriving at Hill City, Claire realized that in fact, the city wall was not necessary at all. To resist the enemy, it could only resist some middle and low-level mages and knights who could not fly. The real high-level power could not be stopped by relying on that wall. With Claire's current power, a single spell could blast Nafu City's city wall into pieces.

When Warcraft attacks a city, there are many Flying Magical Beasts that cross the wall, and many mages are needed to contain them. For them, the city wall is simply a decoration.

So Claire feels that in this magical world now, the reason why there are so many cities with walls is to facilitate the collection of city entry fees, tax collection and unified management, and to resist enemies is just incidental.

Now that Claire's strength has increased, even if we encounter low-level monsters or enemies in the future, the role of the city wall will not be that great.

On the contrary, the city wall enclosing Nafu City will also restrict the development of Nafu City. The land is limited to the area within the besieged city, and you feel constrained in doing anything. Claire Now we don't have that much money and strength to build a siege on the scale of the royal capital. Once it was done, it felt like a skinny person wearing oversized clothes.

If it is demolished, Claire can expand Magic Academy of Nafu City to another scale. The size of the school drawings Regan and the others created is the same as that of a high school in the previous life. Compared with Claire's inner expectations, it is still too small. Magic Academy will definitely be the symbol and representative of Nafu City from now on. It must have everything it needs. Such a small place is really too shabby.

Then, Claire told the architects some of his ideas, and after making sure that they all understood what he meant, he nodded with satisfaction.

The rest is left to the workers of Nafu City. After Claire came, Nafu City has been building new things almost every day. With so much experience, these construction workers have become the most efficient and best construction team in the kingdom. And because they were building their own city, these workers worked extra hard, and the supervisors advised them to rest instead of working overtime.

Claire jumped down from a knocked down house, then looked around the scene and shouted, "Regan!"

After a while, Regan ran over in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "Master, what's wrong?" He was just helping a construction worker carry things.

Claire walked towards the outside of the construction site, and Regan followed quickly.

"As the overseer here, you can just leave it to your subordinates. Next, I have something for you to do."

Regan patted his slightly dirty clothes, and then asked, "What's the matter? Master."

"In a few days, it will be the graduation season for Hill Magic Academy. Please help me go to Hill City to recruit some High Mage back." Claire said. He had finished recruiting Royal Capital Magic Academy mages, but he was still thinking about the graduated mages from Hill City.

Although the quality of Hill City's mages may not be as good as Royal Capital Magic Academy's, they are no worse than High Mage's, and now Nafu City is short of nothing, even if it's money, it's short of people. What can the ten or so High Mage in the military camp do now? No matter what, there must be about thirty of them together. Such a wave of spell attacks is equivalent to the bombers washing the ground in the previous life.

"If they are not particularly eye-catching, you don't have to choose any talents, just choose those who can fight best." Claire told Isaac's Academy of Sciences has almost the manpower, Magic Academy has just started, Victor and the others are enough for five people, and if you add more later, you can continue to collect wool from the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

Regan nodded, keeping all Claire's words in mind.

"As for the money, don't worry about it." Claire handed Regan a black card, which is the exclusive bank card of Temi Bank's shareholders. You can enjoy the highest treatment when making purchases in many places.

"There are tens of millions in it. If you meet a good mage, just use money to throw him back to Nafu City." Claire said this very domineeringly. If you have money in your hand, you will be confident.

"You won't need that much, Master." Regan replied.

"This is the one with the least money in my hand right now, so I'll just use it."

Claire said, and looked at the construction teams who were working hard. Now that Nafu City has become rich, the construction teams have the money to hire some mages to help with the work. Some construction materials that are too heavy to carry can be carried by two ordinary workers using a levitation technique.

However, this is still a bit slow in the eyes of Claire. When he goes back, he will ask Isaac to come up with a magic mechanical claw or something. That way the efficiency will be much faster, and it will be much cheaper than hiring a mage.

After watching for a few seconds, Claire suddenly thought of something and asked, "Regan, where are those Minotaurs?"

Let's just say, why does it look strange? It turns out that those Minotaur who used to work on the construction site are missing. The previous batch of Iron Hammer, Minotaur, was a beautiful sight in the construction team.

"Master, are you talking about Iron Hammer them?"

"Yes, what happened to them?" Claire asked, "Why don't they come to work? Are they being squeezed out?"

In Claire's opinion, Minotaur's physical fitness is really suitable for moving bricks on a construction site.

"That's not true." Regan explained, "Two months ago, they collected the money and came to me to exchange their Slave Contract."

Claire nodded. This was what he promised to those Minotaur at the beginning. As long as they work hard, they can have freedom again.

"Have they left here?" Claire asked. To be honest, he was still a little reluctant to let go of those silly Minotaurs. When Nafu City just started, those Minotaurs did a lot of things.

"No, they just moved to Gilded Rose Town." Regan explained. Minotaur was originally a farming orc. After gaining freedom, agricultural towns around Nafu City were established, and they excitedly ran to the agricultural towns to continue their farming dreams.

"But these days are planting time, so they are busy and can't come."

"Otherwise, they would still come here to work and make money."

Claire nodded. It would be better if he left Nafu City. He quite liked that group of fools Minotaur.

"Gilded Rose Town." Claire murmured, "It seems that I haven't been there much since it was established."

"Regan, do I have anything else to do in the past few days?"

Regan thought about it for a moment and shook his head, "No, Master."

"Since there's nothing wrong, it's not impossible to go Gilded Rose Town."
