"Move it that way!" "Create a wall in this spot." The blacksmith was presenting the blueprint while asking the professional to lead the people to build the design. "How is it?" The blacksmith asked. "It's simple, so we should be able to build it as quickly as possible with all these people." "Good. I will report to the mayor about this before working on other things." The blacksmith nodded and walked away. After Noel's arrival, the city had gradually stood up on their feet again. However, it…-

On the plaza, a crowd of people were gathering as they seemed to have an announcement to make. "The lord is planning to employ one hundred men to build a main water storage for an unlimited supply of water for the city. You will be paid seventy cooper coins per day." Instead of seventy cooper coins, the people were actually more interested in what they were building. The people had suffered from this water problem for a long time to the point where they had grown accustomed to it. So, the moment they…

"Here you go!" Anna smiled. "Can we get all this water?" One of the citizens, who got his bucket filled to the brim, gasped. Since he had brought two buckets, the first one could be used to cook and drink while the other one could be used to wipe his body. Before this, he could only get a half bucket which was not enough for his family to drink. Anna shook her head and corrected him, "You can come back if you think it's not enough." The others couldn't help but listen to it as well. They realized…

The mayor guided him to the first well, located not far from the mayor's mansion. As expected, the well was so deep that he could barely see the bottom. There was indeed water and he didn't know how deep it was, but the pump wouldn't be effective. Even Anna confirmed that there was water below. "This is the well. What do you think, my lord?" The mayor asked after seeing Noel's concerned face. "How is it, Noel?" Anna asked. "The rune should be enough, but I'm not sure I understand the…

The soldiers on the wall couldn't help but drop their jaws to the ground. They thought that they would have to fight hard against all these demons, but the scene before them was completely beyond their imagination. "What?" "Sixty to seventy demons have just died?" "How do they find the monsters easily?" "Those grasses are pretty tall, aren't they?" Even the captain, who led the soldiers, was frozen in his place. All of a sudden, someone climbed on top of the wall and said, "That's the lord of…

"So, what's going on with this town? Is there a problem that will require us to visit?" Anna asked. "Yeah. The city has three major problems right now. First of all, before the building of our city, it was the only fort that withstood the incoming attacks from the demons." Noel explained. "Their walls are destroyed and the buildings are still in repair, something like that?" "I don't know the extent of the damage, but it will definitely need our attention. In the end, this city will change its role to…

"Look at this... Can't you believe what he actually sent me? Oi, Kevin! Do you know anything about this?" The Sword Arbiter showed him the letter he had secretly received. Kevin was also curious about it since his daughter hadn't told him anything. When he read the letter as well as the date, he was surprised. The letter arrived in just one day, meaning that they had been brought by pigeons. However, Noel's city wasn't established yet, so mailing service had yet to be available for him. In other…

'A sword, a partner, and a spirit, huh…' Noel muttered inwardly, contemplating his reply. Ardagan had been supporting him as a spirit and accompanied him like a partner. At the same time, Noel had been wielding him as a sword. The question itself confused Noel a bit. While he could define Ardagan with three of those, was there a reason to actually define him with only a single one? 'Was it because I have never seen Ardagan purely as a sword that it has been hindering my progress? I learned Ardagan…

The next morning. "I think you are wrong on this part." Tristan pointed at the rune Livia drew before correcting his words right after. "Ah, I apologize. There is nothing wrong." Livia couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. When she checked the rune and confirmed it with the book Noel gave them, it was clear that she had made some mistakes. So, Tristan's action wasn't wrong. That was why Tristan's action piqued Livia's interest as there were several reasons for it. Livia observed Tristan's face, who…

"Ma—what?!" Anna was completely taken aback by the sudden question. She never thought that Noel would just forget about everything they discussed prior and talk about marriage. "I'm just teasing you." Noel chuckled while looking away. "Teasing me?" Anna squinted her eyes, noticing that Noel was lying. After they got together, Noel seemed to have a hard time lying to her. It must be that he didn't want to have any lie between them, but it was just hard to completely change one's character. So, this…
