Here is a report from Dongsheng Fortress.

It was the city hall correspondent who recorded the information reported by the other party via wireless phone and then sent it to Irving.

Nowadays, all large cities under Owen's control are equipped with a wireless phone in the city hall, making it much more convenient for the city halls to report their work status to Dawn City.

Timely grasp of the situation in various places also facilitates policy adjustments, thus improving administrative efficiency a lot.

In the past, because the Kingdom of Morning Light had a vast territory, the king was unable to effectively and promptly govern places that were too far away, so he had to entrust the land to nobles for management.

Now, those guys are no longer needed.

Looking through the report on Dongsheng Fortress, Owen read the content above.

Under the management of Kuros, Dongsheng Fortress has achieved good development results, business activities are very prosperous, and a large number of industrial goods are circulating in the market, which is much more prosperous than during the reign of Duke Eddie.

The police have also achieved success in combating crime. People living in Dongsheng Fortress obviously feel that the local gangsters have become much more honest recently and no longer cause trouble.

As factories were built and put into operation one by one, more and more civilians poured into the factories and became workers.

People from the surrounding villages outside the city also began to gradually move to the city, and the population agglomeration effect occurred. These are the inevitable roads for urbanization and industrialization.

In addition, there are many things, such as enrollment in civilian schools, etc., which have made certain progress.

Although it is not as rapid as Dawn City, the development of Dongsheng Fortress is still remarkable.

After learning about these situations, Irving was very pleased that Coulos' governance skills were passable.

At the end of this report, there was a piece of information that caught Irving's attention, which read -

Because it could no longer operate, the president of the Adventurer's Guild of Dongsheng Fortress announced that the guild would be permanently closed.

Almost all of the former guild members who lost their jobs were absorbed into the city hall because they were all literate and had strong work abilities.

The Adventurer's Guild has closed down.

It's a general feeling, but Owen believes that this is the inevitable result.

There is a reason why adventurer guilds are so popular and exist in large cities.

First, the rulers and city hall have failed to act.

The lords required their subjects to hand over most of the harvested grain, as well as various taxes, etc. They should have the responsibility to protect their subjects, but the rulers ignored them.

For example, if a village outside the city encounters trouble caused by monsters, the village chief knows that it is useless to report to the lord, so the village can only raise funds to issue a mission to the Adventurer's Guild to ask adventurers for help.

Although large cities have city halls, they do not employ many people (mainly because the lords do not want to spend too much money), and their ability to manage the city is extremely limited.

As a result, many tasks that require more manpower to complete and other dirty work are paid by the city hall to issue tasks to the Adventurer Guild and temporarily hire adventurers to do it.

In other words, the Adventurer's Guild assumed some of the functions of lords and city hall, maintaining the normal operation and stability of society.

Second, there are not so many job opportunities in big cities.

In order to survive, people without jobs have to register as adventurers with the Adventurer's Guild and accept missions to make money.

After all, the threshold for becoming an adventurer is relatively low. You are an individual, you have sound limbs and you can register a weapon.

More importantly, the Adventurer's Guild has enough tasks to provide adventurers, and each task will charge a handling fee to the client.

However, the reforms carried out by Owen changed these two past situations.

First of all, the new city hall was established to recruit literate people, and took the initiative to assume its due functions, provide services to the people, and take active actions.

Recruitment orders will also be actively issued to the outside world and will no longer be issued through the Adventurer's Guild.

If there are monsters harassing the villages outside the city, the people's army and police stationed there will take the initiative to help the villagers expel the monsters.

If bandits and bandits are discovered, they will quickly go there and eliminate them to create a safe business environment.

For these reasons, the number of commissions that the Adventurer Guild can obtain, especially simple tasks for low-level adventurers, has been greatly reduced.

With fewer tasks, less handling fees can be collected.

Many adventurers cannot receive quests, so naturally they cannot make money, and gradually they no longer want to join the guild.

Secondly, large-scale engineering construction and factory production have created a large number of job opportunities.

Since there is a stable job in front of them, most people do not need to choose to be adventurers, because low-level tasks have less money, high-level tasks may fail, and the income is not very stable.

With so many people joining the construction team or working as workers in factories, the number of adventurers will naturally decrease.

In addition, the policy implemented by Irving is compulsory education. There is no tuition fee for civilian school admissions and free lunches will be provided.

There is a fee for Adventurer Academy.

If the province wants to save money, the vast majority of civilians will definitely vote with their feet and send their children to civilian schools.

The volume of business has dropped significantly, as has the number of adventurers, and many students have been taken away by civilian schools.

Faced with this current situation, it would be strange if the Adventurer's Guild did not close down. There is only one word to describe it, and that is - miserable!

In Owen's view, once the Kingdom of Dawn completes its reform and establishes a new system, there will be no need for the Adventurer's Guild to exist.

The era of the Adventurer's Guild will eventually come to an end and become history. No one can stop this.

After closing the report on Dongsheng Fortress, Owen put it aside.

The end of one era means the beginning of another, and his mission is to let the people live a better life in the new era.

Picking up the next document, Owen continued to open it.

When the time came to dusk, Owen realized that the magic power in his body was almost exhausted. If it continued to decrease, it would cause harm to the body and he had to stop.

He immediately opened the system interface and stopped the magic conversion function.

The charging speed is quite slow, and it takes almost an afternoon to exhaust the magic power in the body.

Realizing that the suction in his chest disappeared, Owen let out a breath, his body feeling a little light due to the loss of a large amount of magic power.

I don’t know how much energy the lava armor has recovered, let’s check.

Thinking of this, Owen looked at the battery pattern in the lower right corner of his field of vision. The middle showed that the remaining energy of the armor was 3%.

Only three percent?!

Owen couldn't believe it. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. He checked again and confirmed that it was 3%.

"This...this is too little."

Owen believes that his magical power is at the upper level among magicians, but he can only replenish 3% of the energy for the armor.

Does the lava armor need to replenish too much energy?

It will take an afternoon to completely deplete the magic power in the body to recharge the armor, and more rest time will be needed to restore the magic power.
Chapter completed!
