Chapter 11 I Tried To Create A Bridge Using [Creation]Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

The earthquake that just struck was quite violent, but fortunately, it did not cause the carriage to overturn. The dishes in the kitchen are safe, and the only damage was that Surara was thrown off his seat, but I caught him with both hands, so there was no problem.

Surara, are you hurt?

I call out to him and return Surara to the sofa diagonally across from me.

Yes! Im fine! Thank you, Master-san, for catching me!

That was brilliant

Lily made a small clap.

It was a pretty big quake, but I hope the bridge is okay.

Iris muttered to herself.

Is there a bridge ahead?

Yes. Its called the Zard Bridge, but it was built long ago and looks very old.

Thats worrisome

If theres something wrong with the bridge, well have to take a big detour to the south. Our arrival in Surier would be delayed by a couple of days.

I would certainly not want to be delayed.

The plan for the future is to spend three nights and four days in Surier, relaxing and enjoying the hot springs. If we arrive two days late, we will only be able to stay two days and one night.

I dont think I will be able to fully enjoy the hot spring resort of Surier in just that short time.

Of course, we could rearrange our travel schedule, but all I can do is hope that the bridge is safe.

However, it seems that the more incidents you dont want to happen in this world, the more likely they are to happen.

About 30 minutes after the earthquake, the carriage stopped near the Zard Bridge.

Dests voice echoed from the ceiling.

Master, the bridge is broken

I decided to get out of the carriage to check the situation of the Zard Bridge for the time being.

Kou, Im coming with you.

Please take me with you too. Ill be an escort.

Master-san! Ill go with you too!

Alright. Lets all go.

It would not be right to leave anyone out.

I walked out of the carriage with Iris, Lily, and Surara.

There were many people gathered near the railway bridge adventurers, peddlers, tourists, etc.

They were probably planning to cross the Zard Bridge to Surier.

They looked at each other, hesitant to go for a detour to the south but one by one, they turned their eyes toward us.

Were kind of getting a lot of attention.

Well, of course.

Iris chuckles.

Its an uncommonly large carriage, and we have a golem pulling it, so its no wonder it attracts so much attention.

Well, its a good thing we werent mistaken for monsters.

Deciding to put the people in the surrounding area aside, I look toward the Zard Bridge.

It is about ten meters wide, wide enough for two ordinary horse-drawn carriages to pass each other.

The bridge is covered with rust, giving it an old-fashioned look.

It had been deteriorating for a long time, and the earthquake of 30 minutes ago seemed to have dealt a blow, causing collapses here and there. Especially in the center of the bridge, the footholds were completely gone for more than five meters.

I think it will be difficult to cross this

Lily muttered with a difficult expression.

It would be impossible to walk or swim directly in the river.

The distance to the other bank is quite far, more than fifty meters. The river is flowing very fast, and we would probably end up drowning.

As I was pondering this, Iris said.

How about using the flying potion?

Not that I didnt consider that option for a change. WithWind Blessing S+it would be quite possible to carry Iris and Lily together. Dest and Grand Cabin can be put in the [Item Box].

Dest shouted, and the carriage began to move slowly.

Many onlookers had gathered around the bridge, but no one had yet attempted to cross.

Well, it takes a lot of courage to be the first one.

As our carriage approached the bridge, the onlookers quickly made their way to the left and right.

Its like were kings.

Iris giggled.

Soon Dest and the carriage are approaching the bridge. Both are quite heavy, but the bridge is not even shaken.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers shouted, Ooooohhhhhhhh!

They seemed relieved that we had gone ahead of them and followed us. Its like a king or, rather, a procession of lords.

I looked at the river at our feet and saw fish jumping happily.

Oh, theres a fish! Hello!

Surara extended his right hand and waved to the fish.

The sky was blue, and the sun was warm. It was like a natural blanket. Im starting to feel sleepy.

Fuaahh.

That wasnt my yawn.

I looked to my right side and saw Lily with her hand over her mouth.

Sorry.

Lily looked down as if embarrassed.

I wonder if its okay to spend my time so carefree.

Dont worry about it. Your mission as a [God of Wars Shrine Maiden] is over, isnt it?

Yes.

After a short pause, Lily nodded.

Soon the other side of the river Suriers side of the river came into view.

There was a large crowd of travelers and peddlers gathered there, seemingly unable to decide whether to cross the newly built bridge or not.

As the carriage carrying us crossed the bridge, a young man in armor ran up to us, shouting.

Excuse me. Im a guard from Surier! You are the Dragon Slayer of Aunen, arent you? May I ask you a few questions about this bridge?

The guards of each city have been notified through the Scarlet Trading Company that we are going to the royal capital in a big carriage. This must be one of the reasons why this young guard recognized me as the Dragon Slayer.

Dest, Im going to go talk to him. Stop the carriage.

Understood!

The carriage slows gently and then comes to a stop.

Shall I go with you?

No, its fine on my own. Iris can take it easy.

As I get off the coachman seat, the young guard speaks to me.

I am sorry to interrupt your trip. You must be Kou Kousaka-dono, right?

Yeah, thats right.

I have always heard of your activities. This bridge, if I am not mistaken, was built by Kou-dono?

I just reinforced the old bridge.

Reinforced?

The young guard rubbed both eyes.

I dont think theres a trace of the original

Well, I think so, too.

I was embarrassed and said something appropriate, but apparently, it was a mistake.

Anyway, thank you very much for building a new bridge. If it had remained collapsed, many people would have been in trouble. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The guards bowed sincerely.

Around us, many people had already begun to pass the bridge.

It seemed that word had already spread among the people that I had built the bridge, and as they passed by me, they would say, Thank you, or Thank you so much for your help.

The young guard said.

I have to make a report about the bridge, so will you come with me to the town of Surier?

Of course.

We had planned to go to Surier from the beginning, and nothing was going to get in the way.

We headed for the town with the guards leading the way.
