Chapter 1179 - 594: Visiting Fairy Town, Unexpected Reunion with an Old Friend (3)
Most social issues, in essence, stem from economic problems or are extensions of economic problems.
Since they lack the motivation for mass production and selling goods, naturally, they don’t develop the corresponding technologies.
Because even if they produce items, they are almost impossible to transport, and even if they are transported, the costs are too high.
This makes it even less feasible to have a cheap supply chain system reliant on logistics.
The last time, due to special circumstances, the Native Empire of the Yucatan Island was accidentally transformed from indirect economic colonization to direct rule.
Here, perhaps the colonial system can be picked up again by selecting agents.
As long as we transport our industrial goods in, their primitive small-scale farming economy is certain to collapse.
Of course, that’s not my goal.
If possible, I still want to establish connections with the wizard schools on the continent that still count as human orthodox groups, attempting to integrate the remaining human forces together.
Ideally, we could formulate adaptive laws to mutually complement the [Silver Law] of the Old Continent, and the [Golden Law] of the Southern Continent; the [Bronze Law], [Black Iron Law] could also work.
Even if it’s temporarily just a loose federation, I can’t be a domineering Emperor, but being a... National Father would be acceptable."
While Byron was contemplating, suddenly he heard Britney beside him remind:
"We’ve arrived, you two."
Britney transformed into a stream of light, pulling them into an inconspicuous squirrel hole in the forest together.
Byron’s vision went dark and then bright again, and he found himself in a small yet very clean town.
A winding, colorful river flowed slowly around the town. The town was paved with clean stone roads, featuring spire-topped castles, windmills spinning in the breeze, and houses made of chocolate and cake candy...
Flowers and plants held hands and sang joyfully; deer and white rabbits wearing hats passed by, showing no fear of people, instead tipping their hats in greeting.
In addition to the normal silver moon projections in the sky, several small celestial bodies floated by.
The deep blue night sky was clear, with pink pigs occasionally swimming by leisurely as if in a freestyle mode...
Not far from where they stood by the river, suddenly waves jumped, and a forest hut identical to the "Wolf Grandmother’s" residence slowly emerged from the colorful mist.
On the other side, a small port and a magnificent castle, a replica of Sorenburg at a scale of one to one, materialized, becoming part of this small town.
Seeing Byron’s surprised expression, Britney smiled with some pride:
"Welcome to the [Truth Embodiment] of the ’Fairy Town School’—Fairy Town!
I’ve already communicated with the teacher beforehand about this good news. Please follow me."
Byron had already learned from his mother that the essence of Fairy Town is equivalent to a powerful artificial Divine Kingdom.
Here, all pollution can be cleared, and rules can be redefined.
And every time a new Upper-level Wizard [becomes a fairy tale] within the school, the town experiences new changes.
Just like now, the school today welcomed two Fifth Order wizards at once.
The story scenes corresponding to them naturally manifested, adding bricks to the school, and greatly enhancing the overall anchoring of its members.
These Fifth Orders, even if they don’t do anything else, their mere existence is already a major contribution to the school; even the "hanging fee" alone can be very profitable.
Byron felt such [Truth Embodiment] should be fine for self-preservation.
But to save the world in this way, unless one reaches a higher level than the [Shackled Creator], transforming the entire Material World into one’s Divine Kingdom, there’s only a slight possibility.
Strong in defense, weak in progress.
Heather had lived here for quite some time and was well-versed in the wonders of Fairy Town. Without thinking too much, her face showed some nervousness about returning to her teacher after twenty years.
She murmured:
"I wonder if she’s still as... irritable as twenty years ago?"
Boom—!
Just as the words fell, a dazzling blaze erupted inside a castle at the center of the town, with shockwaves stirring Fairy Town, making their clothes flap noisily.
Then came a very youthful, yet fiery and irritable female voice:
"Little Prince! Return the lollipop I left for Heather, or I’ll send you to see your Grandma!"
A boyish figure, about the size of an eight or nine-year-old child, shot up onto the roof of the castle, carried by the blaze’s shockwaves.
On his head was a Golden Crown, and in his hand, he held a rainbow lollipop wrapped in candy paper, once again dodging a matchstick with power greater than that of high-explosive powder.
He made a face at a red-haired girl who was pursuing:
"You stingy! It’s just a candy, isn’t it? Come catch me, then, if you do, I’ll let you spank me as much as you want..."
Byron: Uh...
He didn’t expect the "welcome ceremony" of Fairy Town to be even more grandiose than he imagined.
Right upon arrival, he experienced the candy battle at the "Peak of Fairy Town" between the school’s chief and deputy.
He had already heard the introduction on the way; his mother and Britney’s teacher, Polyxia [The Little Match Girl], is the school’s deputy.
She is also known as one of the most powerful Fire Mages; it is said that the "matches" she sells can allow an entire town’s inhabitants to meet their deceased grandmothers, their power is remarkable.
The opposite [Little Prince], who screams "Trick or treat," is the school’s Chief!
