Therefore, besides his daily cultivation, Moen has been busy keeping an eye on Jiude's work progress during the day lately.
With all factors that could have hindered the construction of the Southern Railway Network eliminated, and with the strong cooperation of the Kingdom of Fiore, the construction of the entire Southern Railway Network can be said to have entered a fast track.
With all the hints and explicit statements from Moen beforehand, the construction of this southern railway network can be said to be accelerating with the full strength of the entire Kingdom of Fiore, sparing no expense.
Although Jude and King Thomas did not know why Moen was in such a hurry for this matter, it was a good thing in itself, and they were naturally willing to follow Moen's idea and speed things up as much as possible.
In just over half a year, the stations in various cities in the south have been almost completed, and railways connecting major cities are also being laid continuously. It can be said that the situation is thriving.
This is also the reason why Moen is confident that he will soon obtain the "Golden Cloth," at least before the S-class mage assessment begins.
To this end, Moen also introduced the mages from "Fairy Tail" to help. Not only the mages from "Fairy Tail", he also asked Jiude to post various requests in other guilds, asking the mages to help solve various troubles.
During the construction process, having the help of mages saved a lot of trouble. For example, when there were difficult sections of railway that required earthmoving or dealing with monsters, mages could be asked for help and use their magic to solve the problems. This really saved a lot of trouble for the construction.
It can only be said that Moen really did his best to speed things up. Not only was the Kingdom of Fiore using all its resources to build the railway, but the mage guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore were also contributing their efforts, sparing no expense and making no effort to spend. It was indeed a great achievement that united a lot of forces, and it was a rare sight indeed.
Even the Dark Guild did not interfere with the construction of the railway, because the Dark Mages also needed to go out, and taking a train was definitely more comfortable than taking a carriage, and it was both fast and comfortable.
The members of the Dark Guild aren't crazy or stupid; building the railway was a convenient thing for them.
Anyway, these railways connect major cities, so they don't really affect those whose headquarters are mostly located deep in the mountains.
"With more and more lines opening to traffic, we believe that the entire network will be connected in just two or three months!"
At the headquarters of the Heartfilia Consortium, Jude Heartfilia, full of pride, was explaining the current situation of the Southern Railway Network to Moen.
The project was progressing so quickly, thanks to the official cooperation of the Kingdom of Fiore, who provided funding, personnel, and resources. Naturally, the happiest person was Jiude.
The railway construction project, which had initially met with setbacks and was not well-received in the south, has now become the most sought-after project in the entire kingdom.
Most importantly, the royal family has not yet approached him for a share of the profits, has no intention of "nationalizing" his railway company, and has not even considered acquiring a stake in it.
At first, Jiude was somewhat confused about this, but after learning that Moen had taken the Emerald Princess as his disciple, everything became clear.
Jiude understood that the royal family had only refrained from interfering in the matter because of Moen's sake. Otherwise, even if the Heartfilia family was familiar with the royal family, the royal family would not have remained completely detached.
When it comes to interests, especially in such a crucial industry, the relationship between the Heartfilia family and the royal family can save them some face, but it certainly isn't to the point where the royal family can completely entrust the business to them without any intervention.
However, now that Princess Emerald has become Moon's apprentice and joined the Fairy Tail guild, under such circumstances, the combination of the Heartfilia Group and Fairy Tail is reassuring enough. The royal family's non-interference also shows their full respect for Fairy Tail.
Come to think of it, even the only daughter of the Jade Princess was entrusted to them with peace of mind, so what is there to worry about with just a railway company?
"Work hard and finish building the railway network in the south as soon as possible."
Moen spoke up, still urging for progress.
This made Jiude's expression strange. He thought to himself, "Is this kid, Moen, so eager for quick success? What benefit will this southern railway network bring him? If it's for economic gain, this project isn't exactly a quick way to make money, is it?"
Furthermore, Jiude didn't believe at all that Moen was doing this for the money. First, this project wasn't one that made quick money, and second, Moen wasn't short of money at all!
Since his "debut," Moen has made an unknown amount of money by relying on the fame of "Rose Star Goddess," the movie "Sherlock Holmes," and occasionally releasing records. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he has become a super popular mage and a super popular multi-talented boy idol.
If Moen wanted to make money, he had plenty of ways and means. Releasing records or books would be much easier and more lucrative than building the railroad.
This time, Moon came to his place just on his way. In fact, Moon came to hold a book signing event. After nearly a year, "Sherlock Holmes II" is currently on sale.
"May I ask?"
Jude couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to ask Moen why he was in such a hurry.
"inconvenient."
Moen refused without hesitation.
"You go ahead with your work, I'll go take care of something."
The latest novel is first published here!
Moen got up and left immediately. He naturally couldn't explain to Jude that he wanted the people of the South to enjoy the convenience of the railway as soon as possible.
"."
Watching Moen leave directly, Jiude shook his head. Since Moen was unwilling to talk about it, he naturally couldn't press him for an answer. In any case, whatever Moen's reasons, it wouldn't do him any harm.
After leaving the Heartfilia Foundation headquarters, Moen went directly to the venue for the autograph session.
He doesn't hold these kinds of events often, nor does he organize any fan meetings. After all, he's a mage, not a real idol. Fairy Tail is thriving and doesn't need him to debut as an idol to save it.
But this is for the release of a new book, so I have to show up and give back to my fans for their continued support.
What Moen didn't know was that a fan who had been looking forward to meeting him for a long time had also secretly come over.
Not only Moen didn't know, but the fan's father Jiude also didn't know.
Despite knowing Moen for so long, Jiude has never taken Lucy to meet Moen or to Fairy Tail.
There was nothing he could do; it wasn't intentional on Jiude's part, he was just simply too busy.
And Moen, who had been pushing for the project's progress, also shared the blame.
