Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the afternoon, there were not many pedestrians in the small town. It had been sunny for the past few days, and the weather in the small town was showing signs of warming up. The streets were dry and flat.

However, the stench of feces on the streets was still very obvious. A gentle breeze blew past, and a strong stench rushed straight into Su Chen’s nostrils, stimulating his intestines and stomach to start squirming. The stomach full of food that he had eaten in the afternoon began to churn, the feeling of vomiting continuously assaulted him.

When Su Chen came out of the castle, he was still exclaiming about the beautiful natural environment. In the blink of an eye, he was disgusted by the feces on the streets. As a 21st-century city dweller, he really could not tolerate such a level of smell.

“Inform the construction team to start work today! If there is not enough wood, use soil to build a wall. I don’t want this stench for another day!”

“I can’t take it anymore. Let’s go, let’s go…”

Su Chen and Maggie ran in the direction of the small-town church.

The two of them quickly rushed into the church. After closing the door, they began to pant heavily.

“From now on, arrange for the militia to patrol the streets. Anyone who urinates or defecates on the streets will be punished to clean up after themselves. I really can’t take it anymore.”

After his breathing calmed down slightly, he began to look around the simple and crude small church. There were only a few rows of neat benches. There was a flight of steps in front of them, and a square table stood on it.

The entire church was very shabby. Only a priest was left in the church to help some injured people and teach the children in the town how to read.

A few children were sitting on the benches, and a young female priest wearing a black priest uniform was teaching them how to read.

Looking at the mayor and Maggie who suddenly barged in, the priest was a little surprised.

In Su Chen’s previous impression, he had thought that the pastor of the church would be a middle-aged man, but he did not expect it to be a young and plump lady.

Maggie came forward and introduced, “Mayor, this is our town’s pastor, Emily. She used to bandage our wounded people.”

“This is our mayor.”

“Greetings, mayor. I’ve long heard of your bravery. Is there anything I can help you with?” The children also imitated the pastor and bowed to Su Chen

“Yes, there is something. I hope I didn’t disturb you.”

Su Chen revealed a gentle smile, looking like a bright boy.

“It’s my honor to be of use to you, mayor.” Emily smiled and coaxed the children to go play. She brought Su Chen to the chair next to her and listened to Su Chen slowly.

“It’s like this, Ms. Emily. I’ve built a medical center in the town, and I need to find a person in charge.

“I thought of you because you’ve often helped patients with bandages and have some experience, so I thought of you. Of course, I’ll pay your salary.”

Hearing this, Emily basically understood Su Chen’s purpose of coming, and she was very supportive of the mayor’s idea.

“Mayor, it’s our good fortune to have such a kind lord like you. Of course, I’m happy to help those who are in trouble. You know that medicine is very expensive. I’m a little worried that most of the residents in the town can’t afford the expensive medical fees and treatment fees,” Emily said with some concern.

“Ms. Emily, you don’t have to worry about that. The medical center that I built is completely free. I’ll prepare some basic medicine, and our medical center is blessed with magic.” Su Chen did not know how to explain to Emily the magical functions of the medical center that the system rewarded, he could only use magic to fool her first.

Hearing this news, Emily was obviously very surprised. She hesitated for a moment and said to Su Chen,

“You also saw that I usually teach these little guys to read. I’m a little worried that I won’t have time to continue teaching them in the future…”

“I have also thought about this. Ms. Emily, you are really a kind-hearted priest. I’m already prepared to build a public school in the town. When the time comes, it will also be free for the children of the right age in the town. Previously, there was a teacher in the Karev family castle. I plan to invite him to be a teacher in the town.”

Emily’s small mouth was wide open. She had never seen such a generous lord. Did such a kind lord really exist in this world? She could not help but pinch her own arm to make sure that she was not dreaming.

“Ah!”

Emily, who was in pain, let out a soft cry.

“Miss Emily, this is all true. I will go to the newly built medical center to take a look later. If you are interested, you can come with me. It’s not too late to decide later.”

Seeing the shocked Emily pinch him, Su Chen immediately felt that this young priest was a little cute. “The town will develop on a large scale in the future. They are all the future talents and hopes of the town. Of course, I’m willing to train them.”

“God bless you, my Lord. You’re the kindest and most loving Lord I’ve ever seen. Of course, I’m willing to go with you. You’re right. These children are all great children. If you train them diligently, they will definitely achieve something in the future.

“But please wait a moment. Before that, I will let the children go home to find their parents. I will worry about their safety if they stay alone in this small church.

“Children, that’s all for today’s lesson. It’s time for you to go home. Especially you, Lauren. Don’t play too much on the road.” Emily gently patted a little boy with golden curly hair, she gently reminded him.

Maggie laughed so hard that her face was full of wrinkles. “What a caring priest,” He said softly beside Su Chen.

Su Chen could see that Maggie liked children very much. However, his wife’s body had some problems and she had lost the ability to give birth. Maggie loved her very much and had never married another wife. He made a note of this in his heart. After his magic became powerful, he could help Maggie fulfill his dream of holding a child.

After seeing the children off together with Emily, the few of them followed Maggie to the newly completed medical center.

The medical center was located in the empty space west of the town hall. It was a two-story wooden building. It was very simple and did not have any unnecessary decorations.

From the outside, the medical center looked quite big. It was about the size of five or six ordinary houses. A few construction workers were cleaning up the garbage caused by the construction nearby.

“Mayor, please forgive me. I can’t wait to go in and take a look.” Emily’s eyes lit up. She was as excited as a child who had seen candy. She jumped on the spot happily.

“Let’s go! Then let’s go and take a look together.”

As soon as Su Chen finished his words, Emily ran toward the door of the medical center like a happy little rabbit..
