Chapter 106: 107

Chapter 107 - Building a New Castle

 

"It's going to be more like a cathedral than a castle."

　Gran and I went head to head, thinking about building a new castle.

　Using the botanical paper made in Barca sparingly, we drew the plans in earnest.

　Using rulers and compasses, we drew fairly detailed architectural drawings based on the common standard of the metric system.

　The stained glass windows would be used as a symbol of power.

　This idea was naturally based on my memories of my previous life.

　And in my poor brain, I could only imagine the finished product as a cathedral rather than a castle.

　In my mind's eye, it was a deep room with vertical windows and stained glass windows on the back and sides.

　At the top of the room, there was a stained glass window that looked like a snowflake, like what you would see if you looked through a kaleidoscope.

　I thought it would be better to have a uniform color rather than too many different colors scattered around the room.

　After much thought, I decided to use blue as the basic color to match the color of the magic power.

　I drew a rough image on a piece of paper.

　Based on that, Gran drew more details, such as the size of the walls and windows, along with numerical values.

　Then, the blueprint for the audience room was completed.

"Ars-dono, does this stained glass change the way it looks depending on the angle of the sunlight, desu?"

"Yes, it does."

"If that's the case, we must consider the direction of the building, that we must."

"That's what I've been saying. We can't change it later, so we have to think it over now."

"Also, this castle is made of a lot of glass, so its defenses will inevitably be weak, desu."

"Well, I guess it can't be helped. It will be built inside the inner walls anyway, and the defense of the city will depend on the outer walls."

"That's true, but you should also think about the possibility of being attacked, that you should."

"If that's the case, why don't we build a hidden passage? How about preparing an escape route in case of emergency?"

"I see. That is a good idea, desu."

　We completed the blueprints while talking about this and that like this.

***

　After the blueprints were completed, the construction of a new castle was to begin on the land inside the inner walls of Barcania.

　In the meantime, I actually saw Carlos' castle as a castle in this world.

　The basic structure of the castle is a building where the head of the family lives, a point of defense, a symbol of power, and a place where many people visit.

　There was the living quarters where I, the head of the Barca Knight's domain, lived, the space for the employees I hired to maintain the castle, and the audience hall with its stained glass windows.

　I'll also have an audience room with stained glass windows, a meeting room where I can meet with the main members and discuss things, and a reception room.

　In short, it's my home, my workplace, and my symbol.

　I have already prepared the building materials, and during the winter months I will not be able to do any farming.

　However, we knew we were going to build a castle, so we let the people continue to make Hardened Bricks in the winter when there was nothing to do.

　The bricks were already piled up in large quantities.

　With the blueprints in hand, Gran began to build the building from the foundation up, using the Hardened Bricks.

　As I observed him, I started on another task.

　I'm working on the stained glass.

　I will use blue stained glass to create a snowflake-like shape.

　The vertical windows on the sides will be made of mosaic style stained glass.

　I was in charge of this part of the project, but instead of building a large one out of the blue, I decided to make a miniature one first using magic.

　Based on the image in my mind, I created a small wall with stained glass inset into it.

　Then I would actually shine light on the resulting object to see how it would look.

　Like crushing and remaking clay work over and over again, I used trial and error to create a miniature that I was satisfied with.

"It's perfect. I'm sure everyone will be amazed."

"Ars-nii, that's amazing."

"Kyle. How's it going? Nothing weird?"

"Yeah. It's amazing. It's like a real building for a little guy."

"Yeah. Maybe we should start selling it as a toy for kids."

"Haha. I think the aristocrats would want it, not the kids. So, you're going to build a bigger version of that building?"

"Yeah, I'm going to give this to Gran-san as a sample and then he's going to actually make the stained glass and install it."

"What? You sometimes make buildings with magic, right? Then why don't you use magic to make it too?"

"Hmm? But it takes a lot of mana to make a building with magic. You can't just suddenly build a castle."

"So, why don't you just use magic to build the wall with the stained glass?"

　...... What?

　What did you just say, Kyle?

　Did you say if you were in my place, you'd only use magic to build the walls of the castle?

If you think about it, it might be possible.

　When I build a building with magic, if I store the structure of the building in my memory, I can build it without wasting mana.

　However, if I just use the image, I can't build a very big building because I have to use mana to build the entire space even without building materials.

　But what if it was just a wall?

　If I build only the walls with magic instead of trying to build the whole building at once, will that also reduce the consumption of magic?

　No, the first time I built a building with magic, I had four walls attached to each other in my hideout.

　I've been doing a lot of building with one spell lately, so I forgot all about it.

"Nice work, Kyle. I'll go have a meeting with Gran."

　After discussing it with Gran, I decided to use magic to quickly build the wall with the stained glass.

　Under Gran's direction, the building materials were piled up to complete the entire castle, along with the walls built with magic.

　As a result, the new castle was completed even faster than planned.

CadmarLegend Dang... what's all this about fixation on castles???
