Chapter 452: Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 452 Northern Development 1

Gogogogoooo!!

Once I thought that enough ground was flattened to some extent, I changed surface into stone. Additionally, I thought it was necessary to add some small anti-skid measures onto it.

The road continues from the north gate of Wedgefort all the way to Yggurle Kingdom. For the time being, Yggurle Kingdom made a road so carriages wouldn’t be inconvenienced, but it was a fact that it was inferior compared to the roads going from Wedgefort to the northeast of Volton and to the east of Lomaria’s fort.

The proud, or perhaps, the pretentious could not tolerate that fact. Simon also said that the reason why we were commissioned for the road development project starting from Wedgefort was because of that.

At a slightly faster pace than a walk, I continued to use magic on the road when a knight approached.

「Iruma-dono, perhaps we should make camp around this area.」

「Roger. Then I’ll make a simple campsite.」

「I’m ashamed to ask you to do more work than what is necessary of you, but if you please could.」

「Please don’t worry about it. This much is nothing.」Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m

I used Earth Magic to prepare the ground on the side of the highway, and there, I made a wall and a moat.

Since it’s as simple as it gets, the height and width of those walls were average. Just in case, I did harden the walls using alchemy.

Then I made a building for the knights.

If I used just the soil from this place, I would have ended up making a basement even if it wasn’t necessary, so I used the stones prepared in advance to make it in one go using Alchemy.

「The stones were immediately useful.」

「It would be a shame to just demolish this tomorrow morning.」

「That can’t be helped, Maria. It would be worrying if this turns into a stronghold for thieves if we left it as is, equally troubling if goblins or orcs settled here.」

Marnie apologies that it was only a simple stew because we were outside, but the soup base was stock from the Item Box, so it wasn’t a huge fail. It was a huge upgrade if you think about camping food.

Maria placed a basket at the center of the table and asked me for some of the bread stocked in the Item Box.

The bread was baked using the wheat grown in the Sanctuary, and we have a huge stock of it in my Item Box. I placed them in the basket Maria placed down.

「「「「Itadakimasu!」」」」

Our household are completely taken by Japanese style of food. This wasn’t just because of me, Akane was also at fault.

「Takumi-sama, I will go to the Sanctuary tomorrow to make clothes with Kaede-chan.」

「Gotcha. I’ll teleport you there secretly tomorrow morning.」

「Wouldn’t Maria’s absence here be noticed by the knights?」

「It’ll be fine, Sophia-san. I’ve been moving stealthily this entire day. I don’t think there’s anyone on the Knight Order who would recognize us.」

Maria had on her perception inhibiting overcoat, and she used her stealth skill the entire day, not to train, but to be able to leave in the middle of it.

「That’s fine then. I’ll be sending you off early tomorrow morning, shall we head to bed earlier?」

「「「Yes.」」」

And so, we finished the first day of the road development.
