Chapter 286: Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 286 Wall expansion

「Iruma-dono, the wall over here please.」

「Got it.」

Maria, Titan, and I raised walls on the area indicated by a civil official from Margrave Volton’s family using Earth magic.

The earth rumbled and the ground raised, creating an adequate wall that looked out onto the the Savage Lands [1] .

The city’s two sided expansion would have been a large construction project if it weren’t for us. It was work that would take a lot of time even with several tens of Earth mages.

Maria and I were capable of building one side in several days while chugging down mana potions.

「......even so, Iruma-dono, your party’s Earth magic is nonsensical.」

The civil official holding the blueprint in hand looked astounded, shaking his head as he watched Maria, Titan, and I build the wall at a quick pace.

「Will this moat be filled with water?」

「......no, we planned for it to be a dry moat.」

A moat formed on the exterior part of the wall that was being built. Titan hardened that moat.

「Takumi-sama, would it be alright to let Gloam play?」

While we were working, Sophia who always came with me as my escort had asked if it was alright for Gloam, her Thunderbird familiar, to go out.

「Ah, then my Ferryl too, okay?」

「Sure, as long as they behave.」

「Let them out of the Subspace then.」

「......ah, yes, the development project in the expanded section has been decided. I believe it would become the residence of the influx of immigrants, businesses, and workshops of craftsmen, though there are also plans for housing complexes.」

「Hee~, a housing complex?」

The condominiums, apartments and multi-unit residences that were so commonplace on Earth were never before seen in this world. The multistoried buildings were castles, forts, churches, and even other buildings such as the Adventurers Guild and Commerce Guild buildings were 3-story buildings.

Based on my conversation with Mr. Civil Officer, it seemed to be in the likeness of a 3-story apartment or condominium. The person who planned this in this world is amazing.

「Though, for the time being, it would be focused on low-rent leasable properties.」

「Well I suppose that’s how it goes.」

The people immigrating to Volton have no money, so the Margrave Volton household wanted to arrange for dwellings and jobs, and provide a bare minimum environment. Neglecting this would lead to the formation of slums.

If so, I wonder if they know to leave that large undertaking to us? It would really save them a lot of money.

「The land preparation and dwelling construction could give work to the incoming people.」

「So the wall was built in a hurry for that reason, wasn’t it?」

「Yes, if they work outside the city, it would normally require preparing adventurer soldier escorts. 」

In that respect, since we wouldn’t be affected by monsters while we worked near the city, we could have waited a bit before starting the nominated request.

The job of expanding the two sides of Volton City was a type of job that could easily be finished in a few days if we consider the time we built Wedgefort City. When I said that, Mr. Civil Official was shocked.
