16 「Oh My Darlins」 (1/2)
Enri, some of the villagers, accompanied Ninya and Cipher to the outskirts of the village. They were well outside the diameter of the wall which encircled the village itself, at least twice so.
”This area encompasses a large amount of fields and allows for increasing expansion. I plan on building a larger wall around the village.” Cipher stated as he looked over towards Enri who is now practically being looked upon as the leader despite the Elder still being alive.
”I thought you were just going to fortify the existing wall... Mister Jack,” Enri addressed him as Jack as he was now telling people he befriends to call him that instead.
”Jack is fine, and that was the original plan.” He stood there still dressed in the armor which he had worn each day since his arrival. His looks hadn't changed at all either, there wasn't even a spec of dirt behind his ear. ”However, I wish to move my Citadel to overlook the area. Consider it extra protection and insurance against future threats.”
”You're going to move a fortress!?” Enri's eyes were getting huge in disbelief.
Ninya just stood there looking at the poor villagers which were listening to him speak. She knew what they were going through and if she hadn't already seen his powers first hand, she wouldn't believe him either.
”With this item,” he pulled a cube out of what appeared to be thin air, holding up in his palm. ”I can have my fortress move to this location after setting it down.”
”Is that some sort of powerful magic relic?”
”You could say that,” his eyes locked on Enri for a few moments before looking over towards the other villagers which were Ooo'ing and Awe'ing.
Being admired was one thing, being believed in was another. It seemed that he was gaining both of these by just telling these people what his plans were. Now as he gazed around the plans which surrounded the village, he raised a brow. There was a perfect spot.
It was just inside the doubled diameter of the original wooden encirclement.
Walking over to it, he placed the cube down and pressed in an indented button in the very center.
This adorable looking cube which was about ten inches by ten inches, would become reform into that of a triangle before shooting a beam of blue energy straight into the air. It was just like some sort of mystical beacon of some kind.
Cipher and the Villagers, along with Ninya, all turned and began running from the cube as a shadow began to be cast around the area. The interesting thing though was that there was nothing above coming down to the grasslands.
Instead the firm land beneath the grass would begin to rise and be pushed apart. Something was coming out from beneath the ground like a needle to cloth.
Cipher remained running behind the villagers, making sure no one fell behind from fatigue.
Within mere minutes the they'd begin to see not only that one spot rising up from the ground, but also large thirty foot thick walls surrounding the village on all sides in a circular manner. It had twice the diameter and radius as the original wall with the addition of an outer moat. There were two entrances in the form of massive black metal doors disguised as dark wood.
These walls were made of an unknown polished white stone made of powerful materials from the old world, considered nearly indestructible and a cheat in PVP when it came to Golems. There were guard towers every twenty five meters and garrison guard houses every sixty along the inner perimeter of the wall.
On the other hand as they turned to look at where he had once placed the cube, they would see the beacon was no longer there. In its place was a massive fortress of Japanese design and enguiniety.
It stood on a grand thirty foot base, allowing the fortress to stand well above the walls and peer out into the open world. The Citadel itself was about twenty six meters in height and consisted of a large network of buildings.
The base was made of polished stone, while the walls white and the roofing was blue coral tiles.
It seemed someone even started planting Sakura trees near the entrance as magically bloomed petals were fluttering all over the place after a gust of wind traveled through the domain.
The walls which had formed around the entire village cut edges of into the Great Forest of Tob, one of the entrances was located there.
”You really... brought it here...” Ninya said as she could hardly stand at the sight. While she didn't doubt he could do it, it was still overwhelming that he even dared to.
Enri and the villagers were covering their mouths.
It was hard to believe that only a few days ago he had left it after giving the order to build a wall around the location he wanted to build a town in. Now, it was done.
He brought his Citadel to Carne Village.
Did that make this his Fief?
This only made him chuckle slightly at the idea.
Now it would be relatively hard for just about anyone to attack the village, though it was definitely going to garner the attention of anyone who noticed a sudden wall appearing.
He was sure that there would be a visit from other kingdoms soon enough.
According to reports from the Citadel's Guardians, the Baharuth Empire had taken notice of both Nazarick and the Citadel. It was also clear that the Slane Theocracy was also well aware of it.
However it seemed that the Slane Theocracy was in a state of panic.
The Golems which had once built the wall had emerged from the citadel's base. Leaving imprints of themselves as they began to march around the plains located within the walls. They were making a road map for future buildings as well as creating roads.
These golems were specialized for construction and capable of using mineral creation magic to do so. They were incredibly rare and one of the very few ever really made in game. They were expensive, but they were considered a hot cash item.
Momon and the Adventurers, along with the giant hamster, were all standing in the middle of the Village when this had happened.
”This... Wasn't what I thought he intended.”
Nabe's eyes were just wide, her lips were also slightly parted, as she was indeed surprised.
Peter and Lukrut's jaws looked as if they were about to just pop off considering how dropped they were. ”Did he just move an entire Fortress from one location to another!?”
”And where did that wall come from!?” Lukrut pointed out glancing behind them towards the forest. Those walls loomed above the tree tops.
Dyne was too focused on watching the magnificent looking golems moving about not too far away. They were laying down cobble streets in a systematic fashion reaching out from the fortress and towards the already standing village buildings.
Some of them were already beginning to build other facilities around the Castle. Artificial hot springs, militia training centers, a clinic and various other civic buildings in addition to a library.
There were plenty of raw materials and creation magic to be used for this. Many of which were just general materials such as logs, stones and common metals. Only fortifications and shelters seemed to be made of high grade material. However all houses and buildings followed the architectural laws of feudal japan, following the same color scheme as the castle itself. Grey Stone, White Stone, Dark Wood, White Walls and Blue Coral Tiled Roofing.
The Fortress itself even had its own shallow moat surrounding it.
”It usually takes years to build Golems, yet he has so many of them...”
Hearing this Momon looked over at Dyne curiously. ”Is that so..?”
Dyne looked over at Momon as he commented and raised a brow of his own, before taking a gander in the direction of a bunch of small dots by the fortress. It was some villagers, Ninya and Cipher.
”It seems that we found them,” Dyne pointed towards them, though the goblin troop was already making their way out towards the Fortress.

”That is one big building...”
”You're telling me.”
”Think boss will be staying there?”
”Where else would the boss stay!?”
