Chapter 448: CH 449

Upon my return to Volton from the Royal Capital, I began to list out the materials that would be needed.

First, I will get materials from a quarry in the Savage Lands. As to why the Savage Lands, it’s because it’s free if it’s taken from the Savage Lands.

Still, I think the only one who would go out and dig up stones in the Savage Lands where monsters run rampant just because it’s free, is me.

I also have to ask the Papeck Company for all sorts of things too. No, do I have to use the trading companies of Yggurle Kingdom? I will have to verify this with Lord Simon.

「Sebastian, I will go out and get the stones first. While I’m away, if Lord Simon sends a correspondence, please deal with it.」

「Certainly.」

「Takumi-sama, is it alright if Maria and I are your escorts?」

Sophia, knowing that I was about to go to a quarry in the Savage Lands, asked about how many guards to have while we’re out collecting stones.

「Ah, Sophia-san. Kaede-chan and I want to make new clothes based on the fashion we saw in the Royal Capital, though.」

Maria seems to have been inspired by the clothes she saw in at the Royal Capital, and she wanted to concentrated on making clothes with Kaede for now. Instead, Marnie said she would come.

「Then Sophia and Marnie, could you please? There won’t be that many dangerous monsters, but if push comes to shove, we also have Titan and Tsubaki.」

「I can have Gloam be on a lookout over a wide area, so please be at ease as you mine.」

If it’s Sophia’s familiar, the Thunder Eagle Gloam, it wouldn’t fall behind to the monsters in that area, and with it watching from the sky, I can dig the materials out in peace.

「Then we’ll return before the day is over.」

I told Sebastian that, and then Sophia, Marnie, and I teleported to the place we always go to in the Savage Lands to get stones.

Gloam flew high into the sky to watch from above.

Sophia and Marnie were on the lookout around me.

「Titan, while I’m mining, please be on the lookout.」

「Ｒｏｇｅｒ,  Ｍａｓｔｅｒ.」

Seeing Titan distance himself from Sophia and Marnie to check on our surroundings, I started mining immediately.

Since it would be used as materials for Alchemy, the size and shape of the stones did not matter.

There was a method of building structures by stacking blocks using Earth Magic, but for an alchemist like me who has copious amounts of magic power, it’s faster and less troublesome to just transmute everything in one go.

I cut out giant chunks of stone by manipulating water like a water cutter using Water Magic and store them in the Item Box.

I heard that it was going to be a fortress city that was smaller than Wedgefort, so it might not need as large of a quantity of stones, but it’s better to have a surplus of materials.

As I was immersing myself in my work, Sophia called out to take a break.

「Takumi-sama, it’s time for lunch.」

「Mhmm, gotcha. Hold up.」

I used 『Purification (Purifying Magic)』 to remove the dirt on me.

Sophia and Marnie laid out a carpet, and arranged lunch.

「Here you go, Takumi-sama.」

「Thank you, Marnie.」

I received tea and a lunch box from Marnie, and the three of us had our meals. I feel sorry for Titan, but I had to ask him to keep watch while we eat. Well, Gloam is also there so it’ll probably be alright.

As we drank our after-meal tea, Sophia asked how long the stone collection would take.

「Will it be done in a day?」

「It’s impossible to do all the buildings in the city, but I don’t think I will need to build all of them.」

「Indeed. The main constituent of this venture needs to be Yggurle Kingdom.」

The fortress city that would be constructed in the recent northern area of the Savage Lands will be built at the request of Yggurle Kingdom by way of Valkyra Kingdom. The wall surrounding the city would not need materials because it would be made with the soil dug up from the moat, similar to Wedgefort. If the buildings in the city are not built mainly by Yggurle Kingdom, it would be called a city made by Valkyra Kingdom.

「That’s why the plan is that we will only build the bare minimum, a lodging house for the construction workers and barracks for the stationing soldiers.」

「Then I suppose you would finish before sundown.」

「Looks like it. I think we’ll be able to return home by night.」

In all honesty, if I wanted to build a structure using Alchemy, I wouldn’t even need to secure stone. I could just transmute soil and sand into stones. So, if I had to put down a reason for why I was going out of my way to procure stones instead of using soil and sand to transmute the buildings, it was because transmutation using stones definitely uses less magic power.

So, because of that, I guess I’ll try a tiny bit harder.
