Chapter 454: Northern Development 3
On the second day at the construction site of the planned city, we were walking towards the area marked on the blueprint where the walls would be erected when I felt like there were some presences who seemed to be approaching because they saw Sophia and Marnie.
And as I had suspected, they came to bother Sophia and Maria.
「Hey there, Elf-oneechan, Rabbit-oneechan. You’re so hella sexy.」
「Hihihi, they totally help release our motivation, don’t they?」
「Yeah, women also need someone to embrace them, yanno?」
When Sophia and Marnie ignored them completely, the men escalated more and more.
These guys are criminal slaves, aren’t they? What are the elves managing them doing? Are they trying to pick a fight with me?
「Hey you! Don’t ignore me! 」
「Ora! Rabbit! You’re just a trophy slave, aren’t cha!?」
I think I heard something snap inside me.Aall newest chapters on n.o./velbi/n/(.)com
「「「Hiik!?」」」
When my anger leaked out and was directed at the men, the criminal slaves who were cursing us out just a second ago were now shaking uncontrollably.
「Oi! You! What are you doing away from your station!?」
An Elven knight sensed something abnormal and jumped in.
Sophia dealt with the knight, explaining what we were here to do today, to which the knight’s face paled.
It will stand at 10 meters, it was a bit lower than Wedgefort’s 15 meter walls, with a thickness of 3 meters compared to Wedgefort’s 3.5 meters. Outside of it, there will be a moat with a depth of 4 meters and a width of 8 meters. The earth would be turned into solid stone, and supplement this by applying it with 『Harden』 to complete the sturdy fortress walls.
It will take me 5 days to surround the city with the walls. The fact that it would take half the days I took in Wedgefort was because the city was smaller in size, but it might have also been influenced by my personal growth. It would take another two days to build two side towers and a gate.
Gogogogooooo!!
「W- what in the world is that......」
Seeing that the earth rise completing the moat, and an imposing wall built in the blink of an eye right in front of him, the civil official Holt who was dispatched to this site was stock-still from shock.
He had heard that Earth Magic was being used for construction, but in truth, Holt was one of the people who ridiculed that. So much so that there was a fixed notion within them that magic was meant to be used for combat.
He had been surprised that Takumi finished preparing the soil in the city in no time at all, but when he saw the fortress walls and side towers in a flash, he wondered what the Elves had been doing up until now.
However, Elves lived very long lives so they felt no need to rush in construction.
「Would this not be a immensely effective for constructing field encampments?」
The astounding spectacle before Holt made his senses change.
There were probably very few Elves who would be able to use Takumi’s method of combining alchemy and skillful use of Earth Magic. No, perhaps none. Furthermore, it was certain that this Human surprisingly possessed even more magic power than Elves.
Takumi was someone that even the Miss Sophia of the Sylphide family, a war hero, followed constantly. Sophia’s appearance in such a way was nothing short of a surprise to the knights of Yggurle Kingdom.
Holt thought that upon his return to the Royal Capital, he should research the uses of Earth Magic in construction and architecture.
Though it should be considered that there were few Elves who had the aptitude for the Earth attribute.
