Tu Ya’an was not interfered by his mood. He soon made a contract with Mayor Almark and returned to Gold-Panning town to get it signed. Then, Almark gathered the inhabitants of the town together to announce the news.

People were shocked that there would be a group of skeletons volunteering to work outside the town. Some timid people rushed to inquire about the location of the construction site in detail and then said that from now on, they would never go to that direction. They wouldn’t even look in that direction anymore.

Others worried about the possibility of accidents in the future. But the mayor convinced them that the most important thing was to increase the town’s income. The threat of skeletons was certainly acceptable compared to having a new farm in the near future.

Moreover, there wasn’t a great threat. There were armed forces in Gold-Panning Town. With two retired mid-level adventurers as the captains and a patrol of 30 people, they could easily defeat 200 ordinary skeletons. If any accidents happened, the residents just needed to run back to town and call the patrol.

Anyway, it was impossible for the skeletons to rush into the Purification Array!

As Mayor Almark had predicted, the residents of Gold-Panning Town became less afraid of those skeletons with the Purification Array as the final protection. There were even some brave ones that volunteered to be the inspectors to go to check the skeletons’ work regularly.

So it was finally settled, and everyone was very happy.

Tu Ya’an returned to the magic tower with satisfaction and told his sister about the result of this trip. The next day he set out again and went to Pyroxene Town.

“Let the skeletons work for Pyroxene Town?” After hearing that, Mrs. Asner, the Great Governor of Pyroxene town, pondered for a moment. “What can these skeletons do?”

“Basically, they can do everything that a human can do, but they can’t be as accurate. Generally speaking, their work is rough and inefficient,” Tu Ya’an said. “After all, they’re the lowest level of skeletons. The only advantage of them probably is that they are tireless and needn’t be paid.”

Mrs. Asner thought for a moment and said, “Well, can they help in logging?”

“Certainly.”

“How about farming?”

“That will be a little difficult. I’ve never thought of letting skeletons working on the farm,” Tu Ya’an answered honestly. He was polite in facing another legendary master.

That was not to say that he looked down upon weak people, but that between legendary masters, they would naturally respect each other from the heart. That was totally different from their respect for ordinary people. The latter was just out of politeness or even charity, but the former was really derived from identity.

“That’s fine. It will be good enough if the skeletons can help us save manpower from logging,” Mrs. Asner said. “It’s just that the Purification Array around Pyroxene Town is a little wide. In that way, additional personnel is needed to carry the wood. What’s more, the unpurified wood is not very useful because they can only be used as fuel.”

She wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she asked, “Can skeletons work underwater?”

“Of course, they’re heavier than water, so they won’t float up.” Tu Ya’an knew almost everything about skeletons, and he could tell all kinds of information as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Well then, we’re planning to dig a reservoir in Pyroxene Town, and that is supposed to be dug in the Purification Array. I’ve been worrying about where to put it these days,” Mrs. Asner said. “Although the Purification Array of Pyroxene Town is very large, the town also needs a lot of supporting facilities, and that takes up a lot of land. At present, there isn’t enough land available here, so it is difficult to allocate a large area to build a reservoir. But now that skeletons can help in working, we can let them dig new canals for us and build a reservoir. It won’t be difficult for them if they can work underwater.”

Tu Ya’an thought it over and nodded.

Because necromancers didn’t like light, many necromancers had placed their laboratories or magic towers underwater. When building the foundations, they often summoned a group of skeletons to do it. The skeletons had no complaints of the hard work and had no fear of drowning. They were the most reliable workers.

Then, Mrs. Asner asked him to wait for two days because Pyroxene Town had to invite specialists to study how to arrange the canal and where to place the reservoir.

She kept her word; it took just two days to make all the arrangements.

Two days later, her husband, Vice Director of the Fishing and Hunting Resources Investigation Office of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Northwest, Clito, visited Tu Ya’an’s magic tower and gave him a newly completed construction plan.

Tu Ya’an was somewhat surprised to see this black-haired swordsman as he looked a bit weak.

Mrs. Asner is already a legendary master, and so is her husband? The couple looks still very young. How could they both step into the Legendary Realm?

Of course, he did not really ask such impolite questions. He buried his curiosity in his heart, took over the construction plan and read it carefully.

It was obvious that this plan was specially designed for laymen. The map was drawn with realistic painting techniques, as if someone was overlooking the earth from the air. In the forest, an extra canal and a reservoir were added.

Tu Ya’an noticed that there were many strange signs on the map, and he asked what they were.

“It’s just some signs that will make it easier for you to arrange the construction plan. After all, even with the map, it will still be easy for you to make mistakes. So we put some markers on the ground. If you follow these markers, you will surely make no mistakes.”

Tu Ya’an was silent for a moment and nodded.

Actually, he wanted to ask whether they thought he was nearsighted, just like Cambrona, but he didn’t.

They were not friends yet. They didn’t even know each other before, but still, the couple had prepared everything for him in great detail. What could be the problem then?

After studying the map for a while, Tu Ya’an said goodbye to Tessa and set out with the Vice Director, Clito, to the outskirts of Pyroxene Town to summon the skeletons and start the construction.

As Clito said, there were many markers on the ground. With them as a reference, Tu Ya’an could easily arrange the skeletons’ work. It was more efficient than the previous Gold-Panning Town had done.

Maybe that was why Pyroxene Town could develop into a city, while Gold-Panning Town still remained a town.

Over the next few days, Tu Ya’an was busy. He had seldom been so busy with other people’s affairs before, and now it was a completely new experience for him.

But it didn’t feel bad.

When everything was ready, he could not help but laugh. He felt a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart when he saw hundreds of skeletons digging slowly according to the plan on the long construction site.

The Dead Soul Spell could not only be used to destroy something or to do something frightening; it could also be used in construction!
