The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The following morning, Moran began the second deployment of {Moran's Temporary Communication Card} (Cross-World Version).

Another half hour of anxious waiting.

Half an hour passed, and the card expired and became invalid, but there was still no response.

"It's been a whole day, and Lady Carmela still hasn't looked at the cards. What's going on? She doesn't even have time to take out a single card?"

"Maybe the Sky Well really is dangerous! Or maybe..."

"Even Lady Carmela has encountered a tricky situation."

None of them dared to think about it too deeply.

"Today wasn't entirely fruitless," Moran said.

"What did you find?" Lilith asked, looking up.

"The card production cost for this card is exactly the same as yesterday, which means that Lady Carmela's position has not changed much."

Ms. Amisha said that Lady Carmela went to the Sky Well to find Lady Anita, and if she hasn't found her yet, her location should be constantly changing.

The fact that nothing has changed now most likely means that they've already found her, and are even trying to find a way to rescue Lady Anita, but just don't have time to deal with the card magic for the time being.

Moran was comforting them, but also comforting herself.

Always prepare for the worst, but try to think positively.

This possibility slightly lifted their spirits.

"We'll be nearing Green City soon. Let's go into the city first to prepare for the Wild Mage Experience Sharing Session. We'll contact Lady Carmela again in a while," Moran said.

The more urgent the situation, the more you need to stay calm and know what you should do.

The Dawn Society's propaganda is now even more important to them.

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph all rallied and got into role-playing mode.

Vasita prepared to take over driving the carriage from Zizi, Lilith was at the door ready to get off, and Sylph sat by the window, ready to open the window and see what was happening outside.

Moran was about to put away the cards on the table that weren't meant to be seen by outsiders when his hand touched one. The dialog box for the universal version of {Moran's Communication Card} in Valen lit up with a new message.

[Amisha: I've already contacted the witch council. This afternoon, the council witches will summon the golden bird to deliver messages to all the witches explaining the situation. All the messages will arrive within a week. Remember to prepare the corresponding cards.]

Moran: Okay!

Lilith saw this and said, "After we get into the city, I'll find a hotel as soon as possible and settle in. Then you can go about your business, and leave the experience sharing session to us!"

“If we’re only staying here briefly, the hotel should be a good place to hold an experience-sharing meeting. Finding a high-end hotel with many mages should make things easier for us!” Vasida said.

“We can talk to the hotel owner and put up a promotional poster inside the hotel! That way we won’t have to spend time looking for a place like the government bulletin board in Lance City,” Sylph said.

……

The three of them, one after another, arranged everything clearly after entering the city without Moran having to lift a finger.

Moran finally became a mentor who had all the chores taken care of by his apprentices.

She knew that recent events had a significant impact on Lilith and the others.

She was very familiar with this feeling.

Moran wasn't always this meticulous and resourceful. Before the apocalypse in her previous life, she was someone who only worried about what to eat and what shows to watch while eating, who couldn't stop using her phone once she started, and who always submitted her papers on time. Her most self-disciplined period was when she was preparing for the college entrance examination.

It was the cruelty of the apocalypse that made her understand the tragedy of weakness, which is why she cherishes the chance to live again after the consciousness of the Blue Star world gave her such a chance.

Because she never wanted to fall into the same helpless situation as in her previous life again.

Setbacks and hardships can sometimes be a great motivator for people to improve.

Moran welcomed these changes to Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph.

A witch who hasn't grown up is always in danger; the faster she grows up, the safer she is.

Moran put away the cards, sat upright in the carriage, and read a mage's spellbook, leaving everything else to his "apprentices".

The magic carriage entered the city without any hindrance.

In Green City, the status of mages is just as high.

However, the mental outlook of ordinary people is completely different here.

Sylph's gaze fell on the people queuing outside the city, and she tried very hard to suppress any unusual expression.

It was the first time she had ever seen someone so thin, looking like they were about to faint, yet carrying such a heavy load; someone eating black bread mixed with mud; and someone so dirty that they were unrecognizable.

"Is the Duchy of Green...very poor? How come the common people live in such a bad state?"

"The Duchy of Green is a typical country where mages and nobles reign supreme."

Although due to pressure from the Magic Empire, it did not completely become like some countries in the Yara Empire, treating the poor as worthless.

However, all the country's resources were concentrated on the monk.

The economy of the Principality of Green was not good to begin with, so the common people naturally did not live well.

But at least they can survive, and most of them can even grow up safely to the age of seven. However, if they fail to detect magical talent by the age of seven, they will basically be destined to work for the noble mages for the rest of their lives…

Before Moran could finish speaking, a foul stench wafted through the car window, and everyone covered their noses.

The carriage swerved sharply, and Vasita cried out in despair, "The carriage has run over dung!"

She had just seen a pile of human excrement on the road and tried to swerve the carriage to avoid it, but as soon as she did, she discovered that the entire road ahead was covered with fresh, hardened human and animal excrement, leaving her nowhere to hide.

You should know that they have already passed through the city gates and entered the city.

It's just horrible.

The wheels rolled on, and the carriage continued to move forward, but the Vasida people were completely frozen, their minds filled with images of the wheels crushing excrement.

She now wished she could pull out her wand and cast a hundred cleansing spells on the road and their carriage.

Standing in front of the car door, Lilith, who was preparing to get off and find a guide to take them to the inn where mages gathered, just like in Lance City, quietly moved a little further away from the car door and gritted her teeth as she frantically searched for thick-soled shoes in the card shop.

Sylph slammed the car window shut, no longer having any intention of opening it to look outside.

Moran then continued what he hadn't finished saying: "...Go straight to the inner city upon entering the city. The inner city is the territory of the mage nobles, while the outer city is for ordinary civilians, and the environment is relatively poor."

She had read this in books, but she never imagined the environment could be so bad that even the main road into the city was a road paved with excrement. (End of Chapter)
