When the iron had solidified, Luke jumped into the dug-out pit and, after attracting the attention of several elves, showed them how to build it.
He laid out the stones he had purchased, which were of specific shapes and would prevent frosting in one dinsion with air pockets, in a way that they did not overlap each other, and then placed two moulds of Moonstone side by side and climbed out of the pit.
He did not forget to apply mortar to bind the Moon Stones together.
Imdiately afterward, he returned to the village after loading several kilograms of Moon Stones, Iron Ingots, and Shaped Stones into the carts being pulled by horses from the elf region of the village.
While Kevin, the Elves, and the others continued with their tasks, Luke began making the final touches to transform the village into a town.
These touches included expanding the only inn that existed and building a few more, creating lodging areas that looked like high-class accommodations, though not as grand as his own mansion, since he was certain that nobles would co in the future, completely renovating the path leading to the lake the village was connected to, and similar matters.
Luke had begun to tackle each of these tasks one by one.
It was clear that he would not be sleeping tonight.
He had worked continuously throughout the day and into the evening. Kevin and the Elves had started building a road from the village entrance, while Luke had begun to adjust the path leading to the massive lake with his own hands.
Luke’s plan was not to use any marble here. This included Moon Stone. Moon Stone had the unique property of becoming cold in the heat and hot in the cold, which explained why Luke had chosen it despite its high cost.
Still, he wasn’t sure if this applied to the path itself. Perhaps he could cover the base areas with Moon Stone and cover the snow-covered dirt road with planks.
As these thoughts filled his mind, night had already fallen, and Luke, accompanied by a few elf soldiers, went directly to begin constructing the path.
For this, he had gone as far as the area behind his own mansion. This was the path closest to the lake. After creating another passage in the huge walls he had built, he began walking with the elf soldiers and soon reached the beginning of the path.
He asked a few of the elves to use fire magic to lt the snow, then stretched and began moving.
He took the materials he had taken out of his inventory and carried them himself, and began digging the soil that had already been dried by the elves with a shovel.
The elves were surprised to see the only prince of the empire working with his own hands, but they did their best not to show it.
After noticing that there were a few more shovels among the items Luke had left behind, two elves each took a shovel and ca to help Luke.
When Luke gave them the necessary instructions, work began in the middle of the night.
One after another, excavations were carried out, and a pit one tre deep and nearly a hundred tres long was dug in thirty minutes, and with that, the work began.
It was a path, and there was nearly a kilotre between the lake and the wall, so there was no need to build a deep road.
Luke just wanted to make sure that no one got lost when events like transporting fish from the lake occurred. And maybe also to prevent them from falling and breaking sothing.
Luke took a deep breath and then, without waiting, began filling the one-tre area with gravel stones.
As the pebbles slowly ca together, Luke began to place the shaped stone pieces on top of the pebbles, repeating this several tis until he had managed to fill an area of nearly fifty tres in this way.
He then managed to place the Moon Stones on top of the last shaped stones he had placed with the help of mortar, and in a short ti, he managed to fill the fifty-tre-long area with a path-like structure.
Luke moved on to the next fifty tres and, in just under forty minutes—at two o’clock in the morning—he managed to completely cover an area of one hundred tres, while the elves had already finished digging the next hundred tres.
Luke assigned a few elves the task of hamring in wooden stakes and ordered them to make handholds for people walking on the path.
The work, which began with nearly twenty elf soldiers, resulted in five nailing wood, two digging holes, and thirteen remaining on guard duty.
The pieces of wood Luke had prepared, which looked as if they had been cut directly from a tree, were nailed into the ground horizontally and vertically.
The pieces of wood, which were white and grey in colour, with dark black and dark brown stripes, complented each other beautifully.
Even in an area of just 100 tres, the path itself had rged with the falling snow. The view was absolutely stunning.
Once everything was in place, the process continued for another seven hours, and the 984-tre-long path was completed. The next step was to create an area for fishern near the lake. The possibility of an exit from the other side of the lake and the likelihood of this area connecting to the sea could attract professions like fishern to the region in the future.
This also indicated that creating a harbour, or rather a small harbour, would be beneficial.
Luke observed the shop panel for a while and, after a short ti, managed to find a port deck nearly fifteen tres long and built it without hesitation.
After that, he looked for a fisherman’s house that wouldn’t cause too much damage to the area’s structure and, after finding a decent one of about 100 square tres, completed the construction imdiately.
It was ti to rest for the day.
The elves followed Luke, who was leading the way, and returned to the village shortly thereafter.
