Chapter 86 (1/2)

In the plains at the north of the Rakan manor.

The land where the water of the rivers hadn’t flowed. The land which had been long abandoned and turned into a wasteland.

Four new towns had been built on such barren northern plains.

The towns had been built for the Volga refugees to settle in.

The refugees were delighted to have a safe place they could live in, but they were troubled at the fact that farming was going to be hard for them.

The young Lord had said that he had found a water passage, but the refugees were reluctant to believe that.

“Did he really find it?”

“Isn’t that a very difficult task? If he has found it that easily, then it could have already been developed.”

“But Princess Reina believes in him…”

One day, the refugees gathered to voice their disbelief and expectations.

Grrrng?!

Along with the shaking of the ground, a water column soared.

After digging for three days and three nights, the water source had formed into a huge lake at the center of the four towns.

“Wat… water!”

“It is a real water column!”

The excited refugees hurriedly channeled the water into the farmlands of the villages.

“But, is this really groundwater?”

“Why do you ask?”

“I just saw a carp. If this is groundwater, then there shouldn’t be a carp here.”

“Well, that could be because the groundwater is based on the river that flows next to it?”

Luke used the golems and the monsters to build an underground channel and pulled in the water from the nearest tributary of the Nair river, which was 20 kilometers away.

Luke had kept it a secret. He was looking at the huge lake that had been created.

He had the bosses and the monsters standing behind him.

“You guys did well.”

Kkiii! Kik!

Goblins, Kobolds, and Orcs were bowing their heads.

Because of the brainwash magic that Luke had cast on them, they considered Luke as the absolute being. They were glad to receive his praises.

“Go toward the west with your races until I decide to call you again. For a while, don’t step foot into the Rakan territory.”

Luke had no intention of abandoning them.

But for the time being, there was no way that they could be helped, which was why he was sending them a little far for a while.

The alphas of the groups nodded in acceptance and withdrew in front of Luke.

After finishing the huge task of building a groundwater canal, Luke moved to the lordship by his horse.

Thud!

“Put the bricks over there.”

“Careful! Be careful!”

Large scale constructions were taking place for a month in the vacant lot to the east of the manor region.

That facility was being built under the direction of the head Wizard Mute; it was the Magic Tower Luke had asked him to do.

A triangular-shaped pyramid—the main building—was being built at the center. And around it, the lab, the library, and the wizards’ quarters were going to be built.

For starters, they were going to build the Magic Tower and made it similar to the Hallis Magic Tower in terms of size. In the future, the site would be further extended to build a giant Magic Tower.

“Why are you here, young Lord?”

When Luke showed up at the construction site, Mute approached him and greeted him.

Mute was spending all his day at the construction site for the future Magic Tower.

The Magic Tower wasn’t just a building.

What was harder was the fact that they needed people and numerous spell books to fill the architecture.

That was why Mute had gone to recruit freelancing wizards and mercenary wizards who couldn’t settle down. He even went around the estate and looked to see if there were kids with magical talents.

On the other hand, he was very eager to collect magic books, spell books and materials related to magic, which could be sold in the black market.

And for such a person, Luke had a present.

“Take this.”

Luke handed Mute a large box.

“What is this, young Lord?”

“It is a spell. It will be of huge help in building the Magic Tower.”

Mute opened the box only to be surprised.

The box was filled with books in various fields.

Each one of them was for wizards that were more than 5 circles as well.

“This, how is this?!”

As Mute tried to speak out of shock, Luke responded with a smile.

“Why? Are they not enough? Do you need more?”

“Ah, no. These are enough to attract wizards and improve their skills. Where on earth did you get these many spellbooks?”

Spellbooks for wizards above the 5 circles were items that could never leave a Magic Tower, and they could never be sold illegally.

Then, how did the young Lord manage to get his hands on such valuable books?
