Chapter 86 [0084] The Glory of Labor

Cleaning an abandoned mine full of gravel is not easy.

But if there is a magician with amazing magic power to help, and a senior rubbish worker who once participated in the construction of Shurima City to guide secretly, then the work will undoubtedly be much easier.

After a simple run-in, this "mining team" of 20 people quickly completed the internal division of labor very smoothly.

Needless to say, the problem of gravel cleaning is a professional problem.

As for the stones piled up in the blockage of the mine, the miners first discussed how much stone to squeeze out with ice in a large area, and then discussed the magic effect with Ino, and Karya helped to build the spell model, and then the enchantment magic directly let the ice grow and expand in the gaps of the stone, forcibly squeezed the piled stones apart, and cleared a path.

The whole process was communicated and planned by Benso and Kalya, and it went very smoothly. With the help of Kalya, Ino could always squeeze the most important stone smoothly with various magics, which made all the miners look at this little girl with new eyes.

They never expected that this quiet-looking little girl would work very hard. As long as she had enough magic power, no blockage could stop her. As long as they could make a request, she could solve the problem!

On the other side, Lux and the four children were not idle either. Although they would not directly participate in the mining work, they still had things to do within their ability.

In order to ensure that Ino could always make enough ice and to help Ino save magic power as much as possible, the five of them needed to carry buckets to a relatively clean water point several miles away and fill them with water.

At the beginning, Wei was not very willing to listen to Lux's command, but fortunately, Lux had already figured out Wei's character.

Facing the awkward Wei, Lux chose to provoke her: "You are not afraid that you can't even carry water better than me, so you don't want to lose face, right?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Hearing Lux say this, Wei raised her eyebrows at the time, "When I was helping Fandel carry water and catch the magic frog, you were probably still breastfeeding!"

As Wei angrily picked up the bucket, Milo and Craig could only shrug their shoulders and then each picked up a bucket - even Baobao picked up a small bucket specially bought by Lux and followed Wei step by step.

"Wait for me!"

"Baobao, don't fall, it will delay Wei."

"... Stop laughing, Milo, look at Craig, he can carry four buckets at a time!"

"..."

When the first day of work was over, the "mining team" who had been busy all day was surprised to find that they had cleared a distance of more than 200 meters in this abandoned mine - even if this was just clearing the mine, not digging the mine, this data can be said to be quite amazing.

"Did you really do this?" Wei walked out of the mine with a bucket of water, turned her head and looked at the dark, bottomless mine in disbelief, "It only took one day?"

"We did it." Lux patted her shoulder, "You also contributed... But unfortunately, I carried two more buckets of water than you today."

"...That's because your water-carrying tools are different from mine!" Wei hesitated for a moment, blinked, and forced out a reason, "If you don't agree, let's have a good competition tomorrow!"

"You are the one who doesn't agree, right?" Lux heard this and smiled and shook her head, "Okay, let's go quickly, go back and rest early, I hope you won't have backaches tomorrow morning--"

"Who are you looking down on?" Wei curled her lips, then reached out and pulled Boom, "Boom, come on, help me design a useful thing tonight, and show her some power tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" Boom, who had carried a lot of buckets of water with a small bucket today, wiped his face and made a face at Lux, "No problem-Wei will definitely win tomorrow!"

Back to the Fugen Tavern, Lux, who had taken a bath, lay quietly on the bed.

Beside her, Ino, who had consumed too much mana, had fallen asleep in a daze-although she used the magic circuits designed by Karya today, accurately controlling these spells still consumed a lot of her energy. After returning to the Fugen Tavern, she simply washed up and fell on the pillow.

However, Lux, who had been carrying water for a day, couldn't sleep anyway.

On the one hand, this level of exercise is not a problem for Lux, on the other hand, she always feels that there are some things in her heart that she can't figure out.

Lux always feels that she seems to have seen some very strange situations, but after thinking about it, she can't figure out where the strangeness is.

In this case, she simply grabbed her sword and asked Karya.

"Strange things?" Faced with this question, Karya was also stunned for a moment, "What strange things?"

"It just feels... different." Lux couldn't describe her feelings very well, "Remember Finn's factory? They all worked for a day, but I always feel that today's miners are different from the workers in the factory."

"Of course they are different." Hearing Lux say this, Karya said with relief, "The nature, intensity, reward and sense of accomplishment of the work are all different."

"Are you saying that the miners today are so happy because of the gold Hex I gave them?" Lux was still a little puzzled, "But when they were paid today, they were all very surprised. I can see that they didn't know how much I would pay before, but they were still very motivated when they worked."

"So it's not just a matter of pay." Kalya's tone became a little strange, mixed with some emotions that Lux couldn't understand, "In fact, labor can make people tired, but it may not make people painful."

"..."

"Do you remember when I taught you magic?" Kalya continued, "At the beginning, even if you tried to concentrate, you still couldn't help but be distracted, and even flipped through the "Etiquette Encyclopedia", but after I demonstrated magic to you, your learning attitude improved a lot-after meeting Sona, you worked harder than before."

"Well... that's probably because I've grown up." Speaking of this topic, Lux was a little embarrassed Meaning, "People always have to grow up."

"That's only one aspect." Karya didn't continue to say more on this issue, "The main thing is that you see the results - a sense of accomplishment is a very important part of labor."

"Is that so..."

"In addition to a sense of accomplishment, the purpose of labor is also very important..."

"The purpose of labor?"

"That's why you work..."

"I want to dig out Calican's laboratory and change this hell on earth - but those workers?"

"To support my family and to repay Fandel's help."

"But aren't those people in Finn's factory the same?"

"No, it's completely different. They work overtime, and the wages they receive can't support their families..."

"Is that so..."

"Of course..."

Karya's small class · Karya who is plastering:

During the construction of Shurima City, Karya not only carried out major urban planning, but also enthusiastically did it himself for a period of time. He said it was plastering, and seemed to miss it a little - others didn't know why.
