Chapter 52 - 052: City

The moment Arthur gets promotion as Marquis and get a territory he has achieved a hidden achievement from the system and get a city building pack.

This pack is different because he is given a city building interface and some summoning tickets.

First Arthur needs to mark where the city will be build so he marks 200 square kilometers as his city boundary leaving a large area outside it for other things.

With Heart of Deserts in his inventory, it will be a waste if he didn't make full use of it so he decided to make a city like Altissia or Lady Lake.

There is a similar city in this world and that's Priestela, but with the help of his worker and this interface he wants to build more grandeur city.

The reason for Arthur make the 200 square kilometers as his city because that's the area where he commands his monsters to dug out the ground, and they complete it today so Arthur resummon all of them first, if he knows there are hidden achievements he will not waste his system point for the monster but fortunately there is a lot of use for them after he completes the city project.

After Arthur mark the area, there is a lot of option for him to choose such as material, landscape, building type, and other things.

Arthur scrolling the material part and after scrolling down he chooses an emerald crystal as main material, this crystal very hard and has high resistance to heat and cold weather. This crystal can absorb sunlight and will radiate a gentle light when there is no sun, so it will reduce the need for the road lamp because the city will never dark.

And for landscape... Arthur just makes a hill where he will build a small castle on top of it where Emilia will live.

As for the building shape... let's make it like eastern fantasy, and because he is not very good at this Arthur to decide to speak with the master architect about his idea.

"Are you out of your mind?"

That's what he gets from the master architect when he told him his idea.

"Using a crystal-like this as a material but taking eastern style building where wood is dominant material, except you're out of your mind or there is loose screw on your head I must confirm it first"

And Arthur resummons him again.

Arthur can't argue with him but he stubbornly still chooses this type of building for self-interest purposes.

There is nothing wrong about it for Arthur because the system just needs Arthur to choose the type of building and system will handle the rest.

For road, the main road will have width enough for four carriages and the other road enough for two carriages with large space for pedestrians walking.

The ground will build cover by the same material as a building but with more transparent color because Arthur wants water flow under this and make people think they're walking on top of the water.

He didn't forget to build public facilities like park, swimming pool, large library, large Colosseum for tournaments purpose, and he is also spare large enough land for building the school with other facilities it needs.

Spending a whole day Arthur feel tired but he stuck at the castle style, feel frustrated Arthur decide to make castle like in akame ga kill and make small modifications here and there make it smaller because there are several areas he didn't need.

And the last Arthur place The Heart of Deserts at the highest floor where there will be separate as two room for Emilia study room and her bedroom.

Outside of the city that separates for more than a kilometers from the surrounding land the city is connected by two bridges on the south and north direction. For the land outside the city, Arthur decides to use it for agricultural purposes and he makes all of the barren lands transforms become grasslands with the help of the system and make waterways that will irrigate the land outside.

With this for people who didn't have the ability to trade or farming they can choose to rear animal instead.

And for the west and east side of city Arthur build a harbor in there, he has a plan to connect the city with the Tigracy river so people from Kararagi, Vollachia or Gusteko can reach his city using a boat and he also wants to connect it to the ocean after completing the water passage to Tigracy river

After modifying here and there Arthur with his meager knowledge about architecture decide to stop and take summoning card from the system.

Garrison card, Special city guardian summoning card, and other card are what he gets this time from the system.

"System use protector guard"

^congratulations, you get ancient protector as your garrison guard, they will circle all of your current lands and warn you from invading force and intercept them. You can also deploy them inside the city for formation purposes because of their special ability"

Ancient Protector: Ancients are all connected to one another and can sense disturbances to the world from deep within their roots. Most of the time, they are rooted deep into the ground and look just like normal large trees to the inattentive eye.

"Deploy seven Ancient Protector in a semi-circle the castle, also deploy them in the several places inside the city for formation that can help defend the city"

With the help of the system, several large trees decorate the city with its green lush leaves.

"System you make me build a city but what about staff for maintenance of the city? This is not a chicken nest where I just can leave it alone"

"That's very helpful, use city guardian card"

^congratulations you get Byakko as your city guardian, as long as there is a building stand on your city Byakko will never perish. Byakko also can divide itself to become more than a thousand white tigers and help you maintain the security of the city from kidnapping, robbery, ****, etc^

Arthur sees projections of Byakko that bigger than puck when it is the true form. But even after splitting into thousand tigers Byakko still have height as high as Arthur so Arthur makes it split again and just have half of the previous body size except for the one who will following Arthur when he is in the city.

Arthur also buys a lot of thing from the system used system point he gets from the hidden achievements that look like have a connection with the battle against the archbishop.

With this the city is complete and he just needs to wait for the monster complete make water passage and for now, he will use The Heart of Deserts to submerge the city.

All of he need now is people who are willing become his citizens, but it will be suspicious if he said the city is complete so Arthur decides to postpone it to the next month before asking for Crusch help regarding the people who want to move to this city.

"Hmm... I'm bad at naming something but I need a name for this city... What it might be..."
