Sovereign of the Ashes

The Goddess of Wealth was highly motivated and more capable than Sein had expected.

Even before the Spider Queen’s funds arrived, and before the profits from the war spoils Lorianne traded with the Capiche Business Alliance came through, Aurelia had already begun to prove her worth.

Sein still had some funds left. They were actually part of the operating budget set aside to keep his divine tower running smoothly.

Thanks to steady recruitment of initiates over the past few years and a new batch of full-fledged mages, the divine tower academy could finally consider another expansion.

Whether it was constructing new libraries or developing the underground resources beneath the Divine Tower of Ashes, all of it required money.

Given that several sources of funding were expected to come in soon, there was no immediate risk of a cash flow issue.

So, Sein decided to hand whatever he had to the Goddess of Wealth.

The Magus Civilization’s economic rules had reached a near-perfect state of stability over ten thousand years ago.

These were economic systems specifically designed for a society where magic and battle qi coexisted.

The rules of the Gallant Federation’s economy would not necessarily work in the Magus Civilization.

Likewise, the law of wealth Aurelia wielded was based on her insights into Faeloria’s economic structure.

Since arriving in the Magus Civilization, Aurelia’s performance had been somewhat inconsistent.
