"This shall be our campsite."

"Ars, what are you talking about?"

　A river on the way south from the village of Barca toward the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had succeeded in absorbing the forces of Vargas and other neighboring villages, and had come to the river to the south.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The river was not so big.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the river is very deep, so there are only a few places where people often pass by.

　If the Fontana family were to come to the village of Barca in large numbers, they would pass through here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We decided to take up position there first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We set up camp on the north side of the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We gather wood and branches from the surrounding area to make a fire.

　In the meantime, I build one structure after another.

　We mass-produced inns, which have become a standard feature of the campsite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Working in groups, we cleared the land and recreated the inns I remembered.

　The number of buildings kept growing.

　In just one day, a place like an inn town was built to the north of the river.

"Anyway, we might as well build a wall for defense..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The number of people in our group is over a hundred, partly due to the fact that we have absorbed people from neighboring villages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have built enough facilities to accommodate all of them, so we got greedy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the Fontanas have not arrived yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I decided to build a wall to accommodate them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Who can't do [wall building]?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then I found out something surprising.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people I had named and trained in magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of them were able to use my original magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then I found out that some of them could not use some of my magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a hasty investigation, I found out something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It turns out that there are those who cannot use magic that requires a large amount of magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, it was not simply that they could not use them, but that they had not mastered them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the magic is named, they learn the magic as if the magic information is directly input into their brains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When you name a spell, you somehow understand the name of the spell as well as the effect of the magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, if the spell is "Landscaping", they know how large an area can be cleared at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, those who had not learned [Wall Construction] did not seem to know that such magic existed even after the naming, nor did they know what kind of walls could be built.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if it might be possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I gather people who can use [wall construction] and people who cannot use it, and observe them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I looked at them, I focused my magic power on their eyes and looked at the amount of magic power they have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I knew it. Those who can't build a wall have less magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I thought, those who could not use the magic of [wall building] generally had less magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There seems to be a standard for that, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since wall-building creates a rather large wall, the amount of magic used in one spell is large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I surrounded my land with a wall, I used to build it while taking a potion to recover my magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if the total amount of magic a person has is not enough for the amount of magic used at one time, it seems that magic is not input even as knowledge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This might be a mechanism for the person to protect his/her body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I once lost consciousness after consuming a disproportionate amount of magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was in a state of "magic deficiency" and could not wake up for days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what would happen if I learn a magic that uses up all of my magic power in one shot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You will faint before the magic is activated, and in some cases, you may be in danger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be a defensive instinct to avoid such a situation, or it may be a mechanism of the magic circle that only allows those who do not have enough power to learn the appropriate magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let us keep this matter in mind as a matter that needs to be investigated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will follow up on this matter to see if the named person will be able to use [wall construction] when his/her magical power increases.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, it seems that there were people who were not able to use "Road Construction" as well as "Wall Construction".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the width of the road is set to be quite wide, and the amount of magic power used is quite large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seems that everyone can use [Land preparation], [Soil improvement], and other combat-oriented items such as [Strengthening], [Shotgun], and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, there should be no problem in the coming battles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While worrying about the strange phenomenon of the named magic circle, we finished surrounding Kawakita's camp with a wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the encampment was completed, the old peddler gave us some information about the Fontana family.
