After the moat was completed, the work went extremely smoothly.
I brought in all the materials, burned away the demon hordes when they appeared, cleared the area to be built, and provided medicine when people were injured. ......
Wow, ...... is that too much ...... work for me?
Well, it's not a problem at all because my income is extremely high and I'm not too busy for what I do.
I'm a novice at architecture, which is my main work, so I have no role to play.
And so, by the time a week had passed, the outer wall was more than half finished.
It seems to be stronger than the exterior walls of most towns, let alone the crumbling ones of Decibatore, but the pace of construction seems to be quite fast.
Already, in some parts of the city, the wall and the adventurers seem to be able to handle the hordes of monsters without me using explosion magic.
The extra adventurers that are left over from the easier combat are being sent to places that are less well protected, so the work is getting easier and easier, and I'm about to lose my job.
Incidentally, I remembered that I had read in a book about dragons that there was a possibility that dragons would appear if you triggered an explosion when the maximum human MP was decreasing due to an increase in magical elements, so I checked my MP before using the explosion spell.
Rather, it had increased.
Even though I hadn't gained any levels or dealt with any wisps or wyverns, it was constantly increasing.
Specifically, about 3.5 million a day.
The rate is slow, and the increase in MP doesn't mean anything to me right now, but it's a big number.
I checked with the other adventurers, and while their MP didn't seem to be increasing, it didn't seem to be decreasing either.
Of course, it took me a long time to defeat even a sub-dragon, so why should I let a dragon appear?
As I was spending my days like this, I got a new job.
I was now at the materials yard in the middle of the planned construction area of the city for the job, which was to be done about six times a day.
In front of me was a huge pile of hundreds of magic stones.
They were not stripped from demons, but were all pre-processed tools for construction.
They are not disposable, but reusable.
The new job is to fill them with magic power.
Normally, people who have a lot of magic power would not fill the grimoire with magic power, as it would cause the grimoire to deteriorate faster, but it seems that I am different.
I had filled the magic power into the tool with the intention of throwing it away, but no matter how many times I used it, it did not deteriorate.
After I found this out, I began to use reusable items in preference to disposable ones, and the amount of magic tools I could use increased, which greatly improved my work efficiency.
The amount of magic tools that can be used has greatly increased the efficiency of the work.
However, since there was originally not much time to refill a large amount of grimoires in this front, reusable grimoires, which are heavy and have a short effect time, were only prepared in small numbers (compared to disposable ones) as a substitute for disposable ones.
Thanks to this, I've been sent out every four hours to fill up the grimoire.
"Finished? That's a convenient way to fill up.
Maybe I can make it. It'd be easier for both of us if there were more of them.
We could scavenge them from the city, but at this rate we'd be finished before we could do that.
That's true, too.
As soon as the filling started, a man who looked like the leader of the carpenters came to pick up the magic tools.
The filling takes very little time because we have discovered a convenient filling method.
This method was also found by chance.
Since there are so many of them, I just scattered the magic power to the place where there is a grimoire, and to my surprise, I was able to fill it, that's all.
Of course, you usually have to touch and fill them one by one, which is very tedious.
You can try anything.
By the way, it seems that you can also collect it, but since I don't see the point in recovering any more magic, I'll just leave the extra magic.
How many more days does it take to finish this work?
I asked the carpenter who had finished collecting the magic stones and giving instructions.
The ship that will be used for the farm is probably already finished, and even though we have paid in advance, I don't think we should leave it too long.
We've only got three days or so before we're ready to defend ourselves. The inner walls and the city won't be ready until January or February, though.
The city.
Unlike the current Desibatore, Brokens will be more than triple-structured, and will be a city where ordinary people can live.
It's a great way to make a virtuous circle that will make it even easier to defend.
I'll be home sooner than I thought. A week, maybe.
"It's good to go home, but bring me supplies, okay? Protecting the city isn't the only thing.
Yes, of course. Yes, of course. We'll be bringing in supplies on a regular basis.
Even with the quality and quantity of Brocken's pioneering troops, there are still many points where my abilities are forcing the transportation to maintain them.
If I were to leave suddenly, there would be a possibility of serious trouble.
The day when I am completely free from Brokens is far off.
Two more days passed, and on the evening of the third day.
The construction proceeded at the same pace as before without incident.
The only thing that happened was that about five demons that could withstand my explosion spell - rock demons like Basa-Mos - attacked me.
When I saw that they had withstood my explosion spell, a group of adventurers gathered in a fighting stance, but when I used a smaller version of the bunker buster spell against Zunana grass, they sank easily, and I felt disappointed.
I heard that the materials can be sold at a high price, so I made sure to collect them.
And now, the last stone has been piled up, and the outer wall is complete.
Finished!
The leader-like person who piled up the last stone announced the completion of the outer wall.
At the same time, a cheer goes up from behind the wall, and the carpenters start to make a big fuss.
"Let's celebrate! Bring the booze!
"There's no liquor, it's not safe yet, wait till you get home. Do you want to die of a demon attack?
Why don't you just drink the potion when you die?
If by "that potion" you mean the potion with the lame name, it won't bring back the dead.
Maybe.
I didn't expect it to be finished in two weeks. ......
The building crew is making a big deal of it, but the adventurers guarding the outer walls can't be too careful.
There have been only a few small-scale banquets in Fotoren.
However, this is still a big step forward for the country, which has been struggling against the demons for a long time.
The country has regained an important stronghold that had been controlled by demons for 60 years.
Thus, the battle for Brokens came to an end.
The building of the city inside Brokens is to begin, but I'm going back to Fautren.
On the way home, I dropped by the guild and saw that almost 5 billion ter was deposited, and I thought to myself, "I don't need to do business anymore. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
But if you think about it, there's not much else you need to do if you quit your business. Since you can economically conquer the world ...... and work, you should contribute to society through activities that are in demand.
Okay, justification over.
I went to the Kaede Chamber of Commerce and found Mercia.
"I'm back. How are you doing?
"Kaede! You're back early. Sales of dried meat are going well, but we ran out of stock about two days ago. Since then, we've been getting daily calls from the apothecary's guild, mostly from Dimek, asking if we have more Zunana grass extract. It's getting annoying.
By the way, we haven't even produced Zunana grass yet. ......
If a new material with tremendous potency is developed, or if the technology is right in front of you but the material is not, it is no wonder that researchers are in a panic.
There is no need to rush because no one else will beat you to it, but I guess it is the nature of researchers.
I'll take the Zunana grass and the demon out of the item box and put them in the warehouse. What happened to the ship?
"Oh, yes. I got it. It's tied up at the port for now.
Thanks. We'll start exploring tomorrow. Zunana grass needs a new island to burn. I'll go blow it up now.
Oh, tomorrow?
Is that too much to ask? I'll pack up the food and stuff, we just need people and supplies.
...... No. If you want to cultivate the land to collect Zunana grass, we can start tomorrow. You'll need to tell us about the sugar cane ahead of time, though, because we'll need to call in someone.
Oh, we can't just do it with amateurs, can we?
Zunana weed can be revived by uprooting, mowing, blowing up, or burning, not by growing it.
I'll just have to gather enough people who can weed. We can get the sugar cane after the zunana grass stops growing.
It is possible to speed up the process by firing bunker buster magic, but the environmental damage is too great.
It's possible to speed up the process by firing a lot of bunker buster magic, but the environmental damage would be severe.
"Yes, I think we'll be ready before noon tomorrow. Will you be living on a ship until you settle down?
No, we've actually got a place to live.
One of them was to be dismantled because it would interfere with the construction of the inner wall, but we decided that if we were going to destroy it, we might as well do it.
Pulled out of the ground with the application of an upside-down landslide.
The residence?
In the item box. We pulled the whole thing out. It was originally a warehouse, but that's a lot better than a rocking ship.
I don't understand. ......
Well, that's why I'll see you tomorrow.
It's a fast construction method that surpasses the prefabrication method, the "pull-out-the-foundation method.
