What exactly is wrong with it?
Well, I guess the first thing I didnt like about Dakart is the stench.
Dakart?
Its the na of the mining town that was ceded by the principality. Didnt you know about?
I didnt know about that.
This is the first ti she noticed this fact, and it makes Yuri chuckle.
If it is a small village with a population of less than a hundred, it may not even have a na itself. However, if it is a city, such a thing is impossible.
And yet if you ask , I never cared about nas.
Even when I was discussing the cession with Duke Theodore, the new monarch of the principality, I think we only referred to the city as mining city.
Well, the na is fine. If the city was rebuilt by hands anyway, it would be better to na it sothing else, right?
Yes, you should. In that case, I would like it to be nad after Yuri-sama.
When you say the stench is bad, is it as bad as in Nildea before?
The cities of Yuritania and Ulysses are equipped with sewage systems. In this world, excrent and sewage are stored in jars and when they are full, they are disposed of by a disposal company. The more people live in a city, the more jars there are in the city, spreading an unbearable stench throughout the city.
The unbearable sll that Yuri felt in Nildea in the past is still burned into her mory. Even if she wanted to forget it, she couldnt seem to do so.
No, the stench of Dakaat seems to be even worse than Nildea.
Can I finish the story after Ive finished eating? Sister made these madeleines with her own hands, but Im afraid they wont taste as good
Oh, Im sorry. Of course, you can wait until youve finished eating them.
It certainly wasnt the kind of talk you want to have when youre eating baked goods.
After Sinon had finished her second madeleine, which she savored slowly for several minutes. Yuri asked Sinon about the rest of the story.
I heard that about eleven thousand people are living in Dakart, a mining city. In any other city, more than 90% of the population would be human, but in Dakart, less than 20% of the population, roughly 2,000 people, are dwarves.
In addition, the excrent that these dwarves produce, according to Sinon, is the cause of the great stench that is incomparable to that of humans.
In the anti, the beast that I borrowed from sister, Kirin, dared to record a point so distance away from the city of Dakart as its [Transfer Point].
So when sister uses [Transfer Magic] to visit Dakart in the future, please be sure to bring soone from the with you and let them use [Purify] first before entering the city.
Thank you, Ill keep that in mind.
If the population is 11,000, then the city itself is about half the size of the Nildea of the past.
If the size of the city is that large if you ask the to expand the range of [Purification] and use it once, you can remove all the filth and stench from the entire area.
Its not that I dont like the stench. The stench was unbearable, but if you put up with it for ten or twenty minutes youll lose your sense of sll and be able to ignore it.
The next thing that bothered after I entered Dakart was the strange amount of walls in the city, and also the lack of wide streets.
Hmmm I wonder how much of the latter is no wide streets?
I believe there is not a single street in Dakart where a carriage could pass each other.
What? Its really that bad?
Yes,its that bad.
Because there is no standard for size, the carriages and wagons that are commonly used in this world vary in size from object to object. The width of the carriage is usually around 1.5 to 2 ters.
Arrange the main streets should be the first thing to be decided when designing a city. How in the world can you make such a terrible city?
This is speculation. Maybe they didnt even design the city of Dakart.
What?
First they build a wall around the city, and then they build a lords house in the middle of it.
MaybeI think thats all they did in the city of Dakart. It must have been completed by the people who started living in the city later, building houses and stores in any place they wanted. This is why the streets in the city are all narrow and unnecessarily curvy, and why there are so many dead ends.
Unbelievable
Yuri couldnt help but hold her head in her hands when she heard Sinons words.
Yuris not a designer, but she used to work in the construction industry.
As soone who has also done so design work, Yuri was dazzled by the fact that such a huge project as building a city was being carried out under such a sloppy plan.
I wonder why there are so many walls.
I can answer that question, too, if youd like to speculate.
Id like to know.
If it was the opinion of , a professional architect, even if it was a speculation, it would be of great help.
In fact, if it was speculation that ca from Sinons actual investigation of the area. Its probably a pretty good bet that its the truth.
Dakart was probably initially intended to be a small city of about 1000 people. I think that the number of people grew unexpectedly, and the size of the city was later expanded again and again.
Oh, I see. Thats why the wall is still there, isnt it?
Yes. Thats what I think.
Once the wall is built, the population limit of the city is generally determined at that point.
So, if the population increases later, the only way to increase the capacity of the city is to create a new walled area outside the wall.
A wall that can withstand a demon attack, is not easy to remove.
So every ti the city is expanded, the old walls are left behind in the residential areas. The result is a city with an inordinate number of walls.
This is unplanned at its finest
Id like to see the face of the lord who thinks its okay to have such a terrible city!
You didnt look too happy about it, did you?
The entire mountain region that was ceded from the Duchy to the Yuri Empire this ti is the land that Duke Drapon has owned for a long ti.
And the face of the Duke Drapon that I saw at an evening party so ti ago was, how should I say it, an impression of an ordinary mature man with a warrior face.
Its a rather common face, so unfortunately its not very interesting.
Well, its no use rembering.
As long as Duke Theodore has created his own, theres no chance to et Duke Drapon anymore.
When you think about installing water and sewage systems and redesigning the city from the ground up. I think it would be quicker to build a new city on the premise that this one will be disposed of.
I agree. I also inspected the mines as well as the city. I visited the mines as well as the city, and they were just as bad, so you might want to be prepared for that.
How bad is it?
I think theres a high probability that even a minor earthquake will cause a cave-in.
Its beyond repair
Yuri never experienced one of these since she ca to this world, so she guessing this is a place where earthquakes dont happen as often as they do in Japan.
However, its terrible that the structure cant withstand even a mild earthquake.
Moreover, no consideration was given to ventilation in the mine. Its kind of amazing, isnt it?
At any rate, I now understand that all the miners in Dakart are suicidal.
Sinons words made Yuris head spin again.
A mine shaft is a sophisticated facility that requires careful consideration of how to circulate fresh air to the end. If there is insufficient ventilation, not only will the miners run out of oxygen, but there will also be a serious problem if toxic gases gush out.
If they are digging without considering this, then even though they call themselves a mining city, they must have built only short tunnels in the mines of Dakart.
Ive heard that silver production has been declining in recent years. It is only natural that if you dig only in the areas close to the entrance, the production would drop blatantly.
(If they dont have the technology, why dont they just use open-pit mining instead of building tunnels?)
Unintentionally, Yuri thought about that.
With the way things are going, it is questionable to what extent the proper treatnt of the mine water is being done.
If the city were to be damaged by mineral poisoning, there would be no way to stop it. It would be wise to replace the city with a city built by as soon as possible.
