Chapter 224: Chapter 142: Talent and EffortAt the same time, in Hope Village. The news of building a factory spread around the territory, causing only a small commotion, as the construction was largely irrelevant to most residents. If one really had to say it was relevant, it would be because the establishment of the factory signified a strengthening of the territory’s power, which brought pride to every person in the territory. Within the territory, the sounds of learning magic were more prevalent. Several people, who had graduated years ago, began learning another language from scratch, striving to memorize various spells by heart. "Vanishing." "Flames." "Armored Protection." "..." "Hurry up! Why isn’t it working?" "Clean as new." "..." Throughout the territory, many people, while walking, would suddenly start chanting with their magic wands. Some were successful, and the magic took effect, while others kept chanting with no response. If one didn’t know they were learning magic spells, it would be easy to think they were losing their minds. At least, the local residents who had been rescued before found it a bit strange. After all, these basic spells could be learned by anyone who tested for magic talent, even without attending a school, as they could also buy books to learn. You see, even with the same spell, the effects varied from person to person. Those who chanted fluently, accurately, with strength, and higher talent produced more powerful effects. Yet, the people of Hope Village had become mages before coming to learn, which was rather late. However, considering all the unusual circumstances they had encountered living here recently, they simply muttered to themselves and moved on. It didn’t matter how strange Hope Village was, as long as they could live well here. Compared to the past, Hope Village was truly much more peaceful. "Father, they are so much fun." Inside the trade zone, Little Roland was talking to his father, Lindsay. Compared to his frailty when he first arrived, Little Roland was now much more spirited and cheerful. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Clearly, a child’s memory is short. After enjoying life in Hope Village for a while, he had already forgotten about the past. As one of the previously rescued residents, Lindsay, because of the day’s high temperature and without any special equipment, had taken the day off. He was strolling leisurely with his family, and seeing his daughter cheerful, his eyes softened, "I do hope you could be like them, Little Roland." Only mages could use magic spells. Mages have a promising future, as long as one becomes a mage, life won’t be bad. During his stay in Hope Village, Lindsay had been going out to collect with some teams of Hope Village daily and had come to understand briefly that Hope Village had only been established for just over a month and that they had never experienced magic before. Therefore, what they had achieved so far was already impressive! He initially thought their control over magic elements without chanting spells was a strong mastery, but now he realized they just didn’t understand. Yet, developing to their current level from not understanding was indeed remarkable! And he had noticed, there were plenty of mages in the territory. Given time, their territory would certainly become one others would not dare to oppress casually. Having once been enslaved by a Beastman, he knew how critical a territory’s strength was. "I will try hard," Little Roland didn’t yet know what a mage was, but since his dad wanted it, he would make the effort. "Good," Lindsay nodded, knowing in his heart that it still depended on talent. But even if his daughter didn’t have the talent, he would still strive to train her in another profession. Having capabilities herself, whether he was around in the future or not, she could take care of herself, and that was what mattered the most. Watching her husband and daughter, Karen couldn’t help but smile gently. However, thinking of the factory mentioned by the people around her, Karen couldn’t help but ask, "They’re going to hire people for the factory, right? Have you heard when they will hire, or what the requirements are? I’m feeling much better now, I could go work directly then." It was too hard for just Lindsay to support the family alone. She hoped to earn more money now, to have the chance to buy a house to settle down. Currently renting a house, she felt somewhat uneasy. With more and more people in the territory, it was quite likely that housing prices would increase.
