Territory Pioneering 1
Im starting to feel a little anxious about this.
Maybe I should just start by experinting.
Lets see here.
I placed my hand down in the middle of the patch of purple gromwell and shot out recovery magic. Within seconds several patches of the plant around began to glow with that familiar dim light. Theres no doubt that these plants are the source of the glow.
I wonder if by absorbing recovery magic instead of raw mana these plants begin to act like a healing potion.
But this effect seems insignificant. There must be hundreds of the plant glowing around right now but the feeling just reminds of taking a hot bath. How many of them would I need to regrow a lost limb? It isnt exactly the most convenient thing.
.
Now that I think about it, Ive seen mana potions before but I dont ever recall seeing healing potions in this world.
Its possible that items like that are rare. There are dicinal herbs used to cleanse the body or that act as an anesthetic, but there arent any herbs, at least to my knowledge, that are capable of healing lost limbs.
The herbs that goblin gave just sped up the bodys natural healing rate.
Actually, if there were such a herb, it could potentially do terrible things. Imagine eating a random plant and having a new arm sprout from your body.
That must an.
It may just be my assumption but all of the evidence seems to suggest it. From what I saw at the markets in town and at the Adventurers Guild there are no potions or herbs available to heal. If youre worried about getting injured on a quest, you bring along soone capable of using recovery magic and you buy mana potions so they can continuously heal.
It seems likely.
I shouldve brought the noble mage with . Im sure even Ester-chan couldve given an answer. When the mbers of the Twilight Company arrive I should rember to ask them about it.
.
My priority now should be attracting custors.
I need to find so way of earning fifty gold coins per month.
From what I can tell, the effect doesnt diminish over tibut its not terribly efficient.
During all the ti I spent in Kalis, I never saw a single place where you could stop in and get healed quickly. This should work. Theres no reason for to change my plan yet.
for the ti being, I should begin constructing a building.
I can worry about everything else later.

Good, my level is still increasing.
Im glad I worked so hard during the conflict. My level went up by five. Its not as dramatic an increase as the last ti I checked. There must be so scaling I dont know about that occurs with levels the higher you get.
Still, five levels are enough for what I need.

My skill points increased as well.
I dont know what I wouldve done if I stopped earning one skill point every level.
I guess its about ti I decided on what skills to learn.
Civil Engineering Magic! Civil Engineering Magic! Civil Engineering Magic, please!
I scread out in my mind.
I silently prayed for a few seconds before the sound of a chi echoed throughout my mind.
Its done.

Environntal Engineering Magic?
Its a little different from what I wanted. Maybe it just adjusted itself to better fit this world. Well, theres nothing I can do now.
Ah, that level five purification magic hurts whenever I look at it. Such a waste. I only ever used it once to send away Edita Sensei when she was a ghost. Theres no point regretting it now, but I do wish Edita Sensei had taken advantage of when she was in her ghost form.
Anyway, I should be able to start building now.
All right, stone wall!
Following my command, I pointed my hands down at the earth.
And a magic circle erged before .
A mound of earth began to grow out of the earth and beca as tall as .
Its like a large monolith.
It worked.
Its exactly as I pictured it in my mind. If I didnt know better, I could easily mistake it for a modern-day concrete wall. I pushed on the wall with all of my strength but there was no give in it. Lets try one more thing.
Yakuza kick!
Gogon!
The wall didnt budge. In fact, my foot is hurting now. I felt uneasy about it because of its low level, but it seems sturdy enough for what Ill need it for.
I did a good job.
Now that Ive confird its sturdiness, its ti to get on to the real work.
I flew up into the sky and conjured a massive magic circle a few hectares in size in the middle of my territory. Several walls sprouted up out of the ground and ford one gigantic square around ten tres tall.
I had originally intended on enclosing my entire territory within these walls but now that the soothing glow was gone there was no reason for to do so and I didnt want to make a giant sectioned off area with nothing to put in it.
I cut away a few tres of each of the walls facing the Penny Empire and the Pussy Republic. At either side of these two openings, I summoned four identical cylindrical pillars.
With a few more flicks of my wrist, the two gates were complete.
With soldiers stationed on either side, it will look like a proper entry gate.
This is quite enjoyable.
It was fun burning down the grass but this is even more satisfying.
Good. Now, lets try a road.
While still floating in the air, I activated my Engineering Magic once more.
A stone square rose out of the ground. It was only a few centitres high but it was several tres wide. I extended this square out from one gateway to the other. I can have all of the other roads branching off this main street to form the rest of the town.
I feel like Im building a town in a ga. Its great fun.
This is going great.
The stone walls look even better than I imagined. Im really happy that its this easy to create everything I want.
Now that main street is done, a well is necessary. No people will stay here if theres no water. There is no river in my territory and if I cant find a place to build a well, Ill have to bring so in from outside my territory.
Though, Im sure there has to be water flowing beneath my land. This is a grassland after all.
Please, be there.
Hole. Dig a hole.
Another silent prayer to myself.
Dig earth!
Please, I need there to be groundwater. I cant get started on anything else until I find water.
Another magic circle ford a few tres in diater beneath . The design on this formation was different from the one that created the stone walls. The centre of the geotric formation slowly sank into the ground with a loud groan. A depression around thirty centitres squared appeared beneath .
At least I know this magic can be used to dig holes easily.
But the water is whats important now.
.
My heart rate increased the further the magic circle sank into the earth.
The magic circle was still shining brightly.
But nothing changed besides the depth of the hole.
And my MP continued to drain.
this isnt looking good.
How far have I dug down? Its hard to judge from my position but it has to be pretty deep by now.
I just need to penetrate a little deeper.
I never thought digging could sound so perverted.
Should I just wait for a while?
I stared down the dark hole and waited.
Its entirely possible this worlds planet is different than Earth. Its possible there are certain magical qualities that allow plants to grow without any water in the area. With the magic in this world, anything is possible.
.
The longer I wait, the more nervous I get.
Hurry up. Fill with water already.
Mother Earths love juice.
The womb from which all human life is born.
Oh.
Its coming. A small tinkling sound was coming out of the hole.
Then, in the next mont, pusha, water ca rushing into the hole.
Yes!
The liquid started gushing out and squirted into the air at .
Hot. The water is hot.
I was already a few tres in the air but still had to retreat further back to avoid the boiling hot water.
I quickly activated my recovery magic and healed the burned areas of my body.
Uuooo~!
The boiling water that shot out of the hole kept going. The water continued gushing out until it was around several tres in height. There was steam coming off the water as well.
This isnt good.
Oi, oi, oi.
How am I supposed to deal with this? If the water keeps shooting out like this it will flood my land and ruin the quality of the soil. Damn it. Im nowhere near finished but Mother Earth is already gushing.
Ill need to cover the hole for the ti being.
Stone Wall!
In response to my yell, a thick stone wall began to cover the hole, cutting off the gushing boiling water. It was a large stone pillar like those youd see supporting a tall building. It reminded of those plugs people use to stop nosebleeds.
I could still hear the hot water gushing in, filling the hole below, but the stone wall did its job.
did it work?
I waited for a while but there was no sign of any of the water getting through.
Good.
I was able to stop it before my entire territory was flooded but there was still a large pool of water around the hole now. I can easily evaporate all of that using my fireballs.
A well will be hard to create if all of the water beneath my land is like that.
It would be easier to just turn this place into a hot spring.
.
A hot spring.
Complete nudity.
Mixed bathing.
how nice~
I cant believe I got so lucky even though my LUC decreased after levelling.
Mother Earth is guiding this virgin to the promised land.
This must be destiny.
At first, I had planned on building a sauna or massage and utilising the soothing effect of the glowing grass to enhance the experience for the custor. The pessari grass could even heal so minor wounds if the custors stayed long enough.
Both plans involve creating a relaxing environnt for visitors.
Ill turn my land into sothing that resembles a sectioned off area of a large city that has nothing but luxury services. I can start off with the base hot spring, but over the next several weeks and months I can expand into a multi-levelled building. I can set up a monthly parking lot for the horses and carriages of those that visit, maybe have a ran expo on one floor, and the unused land can be turned into a survival ga.
This could definitely work.
With no people or resources, Ill have to bring in outside help. Fortunately, this grassland has a decent location. Its about a days journey by carriage from Tricklis and a half days journey from Drill-chans city. My territory could also open up relations between the two countries.
Ill continue with my original plans, but this hot spring will really be the foundation of everything I want to build here. I can take the pessari grass thats eaten by poor people and turn it into an excellent bath additive that will heal all of the aches and pains in your body.
Ill also be able to use the greatest line known to man.
Please do not enter the water with a towel on as it will dirty the water. Thank you.
The man that ca up with that is a genius.
Theyll have no way of covering up.
Ill do my best. As a man, Ill do my best to see all of the naked noblewon.
A public bath.
Ill make a public bath!
Stone Wall!
My wild roar echoed out through my territory.
And a new earthen wall shot out of the ground.
A square of around one hundred tres square ford around the pillar blocking off the geyser. These walls were slightly shorter than those I had built previously, around five or six tres. I lowered one section on a wall to create the entrance.
The beginnings of a building.
Once more: Stone Wall!
Another slab of stone started extending out from the top of one of the walls.
The sunlight was slowly blocked off until it was pitch black beneath. The new stone wall began grinding against the others until it finally settled into its place. The ceiling is now complete.
Its quite dark without any windows.
In addition to the entrance, I cut out a few small holes for windows.
I give you sunlight.
A cozy little concrete building had been built.
It actually looks decent considering how quickly I put it together. It reminds of a modern apartnt.
All right, ti for the bath.
I can feel the inspiration bubbling up in .
