Chapter 1328: Utopia (Part 2)

"There is no civilization that lasts forever, Saleen... Master," Heinreiz said.

Saleen was only able to hang his head low and accept the lesson. That was a notable saying among mages, and one that he should not have forgotten.

He lifted his head moments later and said, "There is no civilization that will last forever, but we mages keep striving for eternity, nonetheless. There wouldn't be the likes of Holy Rock City and Alchemy City otherwise. Master, well... Regardless, I'm rich now, so just take it as me wanting to help fulfill Lex's ideals."

"Ideals?" Heinreiz asked.

"Yeah, aren't there bards singing about utopias?" Saleen asked. "I want to help make the Bitterwater Prefecture into a utopia."

Heinreiz laughed.

"I don't find it funny," Saleen said in a serious tone.
