Chapter 144: The Turbulent May

Time flew by like an arrow.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Year 129, May 1st.

Bay Territory, early morning.

Beautiful rays of dawn spread across the vast farmlands, illuminating the wide fields.

More and more pioneers were starting their work.

Columns of smoke from burning fires slowly rose into the sky.

The previously calm and serene Silvermoon River, like a refined noblewoman, rippled slightly, revealing a few pairs of round, curious eyes.

The orderly marching and loud slogans from the wide fields scared the murlocs away from the riverbanks.

On the expanding city walls, masons carefully carved intricate patterns into the square stone bricks.

Once completed, the 10-meter-high walls would become one of the most critical preparations for next year's orc invasion.

The workforce of over 5,000 people was the largest labor group besides the pioneers.

In the city's downstream area, large factories were being built along the river.

These factories continuously produced various goods, which were then transported to the warehouses of Bay City.

At the current stage, most of the goods produced were supplied to the rapidly growing population of Bay Territory.

After all, if people had money but nothing to buy, it would seriously dampen their enthusiasm for productivity.

Affordable and practical daily necessities gained widespread approval from the majority of the citizens.

Matthew did not expect to make money this way. Instead, he ordered the factories to further improve their products based on user feedback.

The development of Bay Territory's factories still had a long road ahead.

Bay Territory, Lord's Mansion.

Matthew's biological clock woke him up on time. After washing up with practiced ease...

He used Mage Hand to don his silk attire, feeling its softness and smoothness. Matthew quietly reflected:

"Indeed, such beautiful things will always be loved by all the worlds."

Stroking the emblem of the Ser Family's White Mage Tower, Matthew stowed away various magical items before grabbing his staff and heading outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, a rich, sweet aroma greeted him.

In addition to meat, milk, and fruit, Matthew's meals had some new additions.

Steamed magic taro, fragrant and delicious, soft yet chewy, simply prepared like jelly with a unique flavor.

Firebird fruit, a rare delicacy from the Shadowy Forest, resembled a small tomato and had a mildly sweet taste, though it was not abundant.

Stir-fried groundhog meat, a mid-tier magical creature, which after prolonged consumption could slightly enhance constitution, was crispy and flavorful, though unfortunately small in size.

Matthew recorded the effects of these foods before contentedly enjoying his breakfast.

During his post-meal walk, he assigned Leanna and the other apprentice mages their study tasks for the week.
