"Is it true you're expanding Vulcania, kid?"

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

"Yes, that's right, old man. Right now there is the inner wall area where Barca Castle is located, the castle town between the inner and outer walls, and the pasture area to the north of that. And then we'll expand it further."

"Hmmm. Well, there's talk of accepting giants like the Warriors of Atmos. If we can expand it, we might as well.

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

"Yes. And Vulcania is overcrowded. It used to be a village and I built a settlement and people settled there. There is a definite problem with the structure of the city."

"...... garbage and sewage disposal."

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

"Yes. If possible, we would like to improve the city as we expand. Not only to extend the walls, but also to take care of what's under the ground.

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

"Hmm. That's good, but we're only going to use Barka's magic on the surface, aren't we?　It's going to take a long time if we're going to have to deal with the underground, and if we're going to have to do anything about the sewers."

"No, I'll take care of that. I have an idea."

　I have thought about building a theater in Vulcania, but I would like to do more urban development.

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

　Currently, Vulcania is a rectangle with a 4km square land surrounded by a 4km wall and a ranching area of the same size bordering it from north to south.

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

　I am thinking of drastically doubling the size of this rectangle.

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

　In other words, the plan is to build a square shaped city with 4 walled plots of 4 km square.

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

　This is not only to absorb the ever-increasing number of inhabitants, but also to accommodate the warriors of Atmos, as the old man says.

　It would be great if we could accept a group of people who speak a different language from ours and they could integrate into our community without any problems.

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

　However, there may be various conflicts.

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

　Even the language is different from ours, and the warriors of Atmos are as strong as the head of the family.

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

　There is a possibility that a heated argument over a few drinks may lead to a deadly incident.

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

　It would be better for both parties to keep the acceptance of the place separated to some extent than to have such a situation happen.

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

　In addition to the problem of accepting Atmos warriors, I was also concerned about the sewage treatment.

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

　Originally, the land was opened as a settlement only to produce food for Valkyries, then it was surrounded by a wall to protect it from big boars, and later on, it was used as a town in the center of my territory.

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

　Therefore, it is rather poorly built as a city.

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

　I think this is a good opportunity to fix that.

"No, what are you going to do if I leave it to you, boy?　Are the monks going to magically dig a hole and build a sewer system in the newly created district?　But wouldn't it be better to build a sewer under the existing Vulcania land as well?"

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

"Yes. So I'll put it all together."

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

"Hmm?　What do you mean, "put it all together"?　What are you thinking about, kid?"

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

"Lately, I've noticed that Vulcania can do some interesting things. Using the Atmosphere, we can add urban functions."

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

"What about ......?　Using the Atmosphere?　That big black rock?"

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

"That's right. That's the core of the labyrinth. Inside the Atmosphere is a vast amount of magic power, but it seems that this magic power has spread throughout the land of Vulcania. We're going to make use of it."

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

"Oh, ......, how is that possible? The labyrinth nucleus is..."

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

"Thanatos and the other warriors of Atmos used it only to strengthen themselves and learn magic. But I could use the magic of the Atmosphere to improve the land. I've already experimented with it. Now, let's plan what kind of city we want to build.

　With these words, he called his father, brother Hector, Kyle, Mr. Maddock, and others together.

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

　They discussed the new city structure.

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

　The Barka Castle and its castle town will be located in the southeastern part of the four large plots.

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

　To the north of it, to the northeast will be the ranch area, and to the east of the two parcels will be the forest reserve, which will be a managed land for timber.

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

　In addition, the northwest of the newly added large parcel will be developed as the Atmos area, and the southwest will become the new town.

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

　In the new town, we are planning to install a flame blast furnace.

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

　This furnace will not be used for forging iron, but for garbage disposal and burning.

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

　It has not been decided yet whether the dead should be buried by cremation or burial, but we will decide to use cremation in order to reduce the risk as the city grows.

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

　We will also build a sewerage system.

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

　Basically, there is water for drinking and washing by magic, so there has not been a large amount of contaminated water.

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

　However, this will not be the case as the population increases.

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

　As they say, every little bit of dust makes a big pile, and dirty water will have various effects.

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

　And there is also the problem of toilets.

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

　As long as people eat food, it is also important to put it out.

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

　We will make a rough blueprint of these issues and decide on more detailed points in the planning stage.

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

　And with those plans and blueprints of the city in my hand, I put my hand on the atomosphere.

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

　The atomosphere of a large rock over 300 meters high is, in a sense, like a skyscraper.

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

　The entire building was filled with magic power, and this magic power was seeping into Vulcania from the ground where the Atmosphere touched the ground.

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

　I will make use of that magic power.

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

　When I moved the Atmosphere from the village of Atmos to Vulcania before, I was able to use the magic contained in the Atmosphere, so there was no problem.

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

　I touch the Atmosphere and manipulate it with the image of letting the magic contained in the Atmosphere further permeate into Vulcania.

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

　Then he murmurs.

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

　Atmospheric wall.

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

　The next moment, a wall grows from the southwest corner of the outer wall of Vulcania, not from where I am touching the Atmosphere at the center of Vulcania, but from the southwest corner of the outer wall of Vulcania toward the west one after another.

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

　It's a strange feeling.

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

　I have a magical and complete grasp of the shape of the land, even though I clearly cannot see it myself.

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

　I keep mumbling "Atmos wall" and have built a wall between the new town and the Atmos area.

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

　Or rather, since the outer walls had been 10-meter high walls built by "Wall Building", I converted all the outer walls to "Wall of Atmos", which can be built at a height of 50 meters.

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

　After that, however, a little more careful work awaited us.

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

　This time, we had to build a sewerage system that would extend beneath all four large sections of the building.

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

　I probably would not have done this work without Atmosphere.

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

　Somehow my magic is originated from the surface of the earth, and if I try to build a building without thinking about it, it has a tendency to consume more magic power in proportion to the size of its volume.

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

　And it was the same underground.

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

　If I tried to build an underground sewerage system with my magical power, the amount of magical power consumed would increase depending on the depth from the surface of the earth.

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

　It would be a hard task to build such an extensive sewage system deep underground with my own magical power.

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

　However, I could have used Atmosphere's magic power to cover the consumption of the magic power.

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

　Before this expansion, we have already made a vertical hole to the basement.

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

　A vertical hole to the basement with a lid like a manhole.

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

　We will build more like these vertical holes to create a horizontal sewerage system underground.

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

　At this point, care should be taken to slope the water so that it can flow properly.

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

　Incidentally, this sewer leads to the moat outside the newly built wall.

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

　Normally, if contaminated water is poured into the moat, it would smell bad.

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

　However, this problem has been solved by using slime.

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

　They planted special grass in the moat so that the slime can live in the environment.

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

　This is because the water was obviously cleaner when slime was present in dams.

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

　In addition to the sediment that is stored in dams, slime also cleans dirt.

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

　We tried to use this function of slime in the sewage system as well.

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

　If the slime accidentally falls into the moat, it will cause a catastrophe, but since it also strengthens our defenses, we will forgive it.

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

　Perhaps it is a good thing that we had the experience of building the city of Dreslina before, because we were able to build a sewerage system this time.

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

　The place where Kawakita Castle used to be was redeveloped and turned into one city, because a sewage facility was built at that time.

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

　That experience came in handy.

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

　I had magically memorized the sewage system of Dreslina and was able to use it in the Vulcania expansion project, so the sewage system I built was decent and did not cause any serious problems.

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

　Thus, in the summer of the 3rd year of the Gallaudian calendar, Vulcania was reborn as an even larger city.
