Chapter 243 Powering The Mansion

[Ace POV],

I was very interested in what would occur when the magical structure was finally powered up.

For starters, there were a lot of things I wanted to test out, like the input commands that could be given to the magical building to act upon, but all of this required the magical building to first have power.

The magical structure also served other purposes, such as its energy-intensive defence system.

In any case, I wouldn't have to bother about convenience for a while now based on the information I've learned about how the magical building life functions work.

At least I could now take a bath whenever I wanted in my basement rather than having to go to the waterfall every time, and in public too.

These were the thoughts I had when I put the level 34 crystal core in the bowl that was in front of me. When I saw the dim light it produced, I was able to confirm that something was working at least since it showed a reaction, so I decided to wait for a few minutes to see if anything else was going to happen, but thankfully I only had to wait for a few seconds before a change occurred in my surroundings.

For one, the entire basement suddenly lit up with bright light, which temporarily blinded me due to its sudden appearance. I had grown accustomed to the basement's dim lighting, so the sudden appearance of bright light hurt my eye.

As I considered this, I tried to use a voice command that was stated in the information I had learned about the magical building. I clapped twice while saying aloud, "LightsOff," and almost immediately the bright light in the basement vanished and the room returned to its previous dark lighting, which was much to my liking.

Upon observing this, I attempted to issue a second command and said aloud, "Lights On." Almost immediately, the bright light from before reappeared, but this time, because I was prepared, the previous experience that involved the bright light suddenly appearing did not occur.

This time, I could also see what was causing the lights.

Multiple ball white lights were hovering in the air in several places throughout the basement, and looking at how far apart they were and how bright they were, I was certain that I only needed two of the light balls to light up this basement.

The basement was that bright, and in addition to that, I could feel the light balls release weak mana, which informed me that the light balls were made with magic by the magical building.

It was fairly obvious, but when you really confirmed it, it was quite different.

As I was contemplating these thoughts, I shut the door leading to the magical mansion's power room and moved on to another basement room that left me feeling curious.

Since the name "power room" was so appropriate for what it was doing, I gave it that name.

Since I was interested in the water-generating magic the magical building possessed, I was currently making my way to the bathroom that was located in the basement to see if I could observe how the magic worked, and even if it wasn't there for me to see with my eyes, I also wanted to see how the bathroom looked and take a bath myself.

I reached the bathroom door as I was considering these things and opened it only to discover that I could not see quite clearly inside the room because I had not used any magic lamb. After clapping my hands twice for the third time in a few minutes and commanding the magical building to turn on the bathroom lights with my voice, I was finally able to see what it looked like.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of wood tiles, and to my left was a sink with a mirror over it that was obviously designed for mouth and face business. To my right was a hot tub.

The level of luxury was quite unexpected, but since the mansion was a luxury in and of itself, the bathtub didn't seem out of place in my mind as much.

When I saw this, I turned to look at the bathroom's center, where a small pool of glistening water was present.

Another light ball, located near the ceiling, was in charge of lighting the bathroom, though since there was only one light ball, it wasn't as bright as it was outside in the basement.

I wasn't quite sure how to appreciate the architectural design of most things, but I was aware that the bathroom's construction was of the highest caliber.

I undressed as I had this in mind and went naked to the shower.

I couldn't understand how the magic that generated the water worked because I couldn't see anything in the bathroom that indicated magic, such as a magic circle or anything else.

I was unable to understand how the light balls functioned as well, but I would save that for a later time because right now, all I wanted was a long bath to remove the dirt from my body.

When I finally made it to the shower area, I noticed two clockwise switches on the wall directly below the shower head.

One was coloured red, and the other was blue.

Upon seeing this, I began to wonder if the shower might also have a hot and cold system. However, to be sure, I needed to test it out first, so as soon as this thought entered my mind, I put my hand on one of the switches.

I chose to start with the blue switch, and after moving my body away from the shower head and turning it on, water began to squirt out. I felt the water with my other hand and discovered that it was chilly, and the more I turned the blue switch, the icier the water became.

It was the same for the red switch, except it was hot water for the red, so after deciding which one I preferred between the cold and hot water, I decided to bathe with the hot water while rubbing my body to get the dirt off, but after a few minutes, I stopped.

Since I didn't have any soap, I bought a gold coin-priced bar from the store and continued bathing.

Slowly, I realised that I was becoming accustomed to my life in the true world.
