Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: The Monastery

As Serie revealed her plan, like a sudden clap of thunder in the calm night sky, the originally peaceful and harmonious town of Oithaster was quickly ignited, and related news began to spread wildly like a virus.

Gut walked on the streets of the town, already able to feel the change in atmosphere within the town more intuitively.

Although the vast majority of residents in Oithaster were not Magic Users, this did not prevent the residents from thinking optimistically about what opportunities and impacts the establishment of the Mainland Magic Association would bring to their city.

Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that the number of Magic Users in the city would increase was enough to make the residents of the city rejoice.

After all, this was still a world where Demons and Demons ran rampant. Even though the Demon King had been successfully defeated by Hero Simmel and his party more than twenty years ago, the steps of Demons and Demons invading towns and villages had still not stopped.

And every human Magic User was an indispensable force when facing crises.

The more human Magic Users there were in the town, the more at ease the residents could be when resting.

Although Oithaster was now much livelier than when Gut first arrived, Gut knew in his heart that this was still nothing.

After all, the news of Serie establishing the Mainland Magic Association had only just spread, and its scope of influence was limited.

After some time, when this news spread to the Northern Plateau and within the Empire, the reaction it would cause would be even more exaggerated.

At that time, countless Magic Users from the Northern Countries and Central Countries would flock to Oithaster. With Magic Users from different regions of the mainland gathered together, the scene at that time would probably be unimaginably lively.

However, towards this upcoming liveliness, Gut had no desire to join in. Limited by the 'Isolated from the World' trait, Gut, who had stayed in the town of Oithaster for a considerable time, only wanted to find a quiet place to hide and reduce social interaction to a minimum.

Fortunately, after exploring this city for this period, Gut actually found a small Monastery located on the outskirts of Oithaster.

In this Monastery, the only one left was an old monk.

And this last monk, due to his old age, would only visit the Monastery every two or three weeks.

For the current Gut, there was no more suitable place to stay than this.

Silently returning to his room to pack his luggage, without saying goodbye to the innkeeper he was almost familiar with, and taking enough dry food for half a month, Gut moved into the Monastery that night.

Fortunately, there were still traces of cleaning left on the tables and chairs in the Monastery. It seemed that the old monk must have just visited not long ago.

If he was lucky enough, he might not even encounter the old monk during his 'temporary stay'.

....

The next day.

"Sha-sha-sha-"

As the sunlight poured in, within the small Monastery on the outskirts of the town, there were bursts of sounds like'spring silkworms eating leaves'.

And the cause of these sounds was naturally the only 'resident' currently in this Monastery.

Gut was bent over the desk, one hand pressing down on a worn-out book, while the other hand quickly copied the contents of the old book onto a blank page in another book.

This task of copying the contents of old books that were about to be damaged onto new books was the most common work done by monks on a daily basis, and they regarded it as part of their cultivation.

Thanks to the generations of persistence and cultivation by numerous unnamed monks, the knowledge and culture created by humans during the Mythological Period, Ancient Period, and Unified Empire Period could be preserved and used by later generations.

Even Hero Simmel and his party, who defeated the Demon King, found the solution to problems they couldn't solve during their adventure in a long-abandoned Monastery, relying on a legend passed down from the Mythological Era that had been copied countless times.

Therefore, the work of monks definitely had meaning.

It was just that the process of pursuing this meaning was relatively difficult.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations Host]

[Daily Task: Lakukan satu perbuatan baik setiap hari completed]

"Phew, the copying volume finally met the standard..."

Gut threw down the pen in his hand and shook his somewhat numb wrist.

He didn't expect that even with Gut's current physique, his wrist would still get tired from writing a lot.

However, looking at the task completion prompt that popped up from the system, the hard work of this morning was not in vain.

Copying books, as an essential part of a monk's daily cultivation, bringing the wisdom of past sages to later generations, can naturally be considered an act of kindness.

In fact, since Gut transmigrated, more than half of his daily tasks, Lakukan satu perbuatan baik setiap hari, had been completed in this way.

After all, for Gut, who treated abandoned monasteries as his home, it was difficult to find other opportunities to do good deeds besides this.

Meanwhile, [Empire Territory · Imperial Capital Esberg].

Having just finished a sweet trip with his wife not long ago and returned to his original post, the court Magic User Denken knocked on the door of his close friend's office.

"Lieren!"

"It's me! Open the door!"
