"Don't you have more protection since then?

Ellie, who I haven't seen in about three days, asked.

"You're not getting more."

"Yes. Did you take the shark off a little too long ago?

"Could be."

I haven't had a cohesive vacation in awhile the other day, but it was a real streak of fatigue and stress over here from Wang Du.

Especially the dragon class training under Kensei, which began recently. Reinforcement of protection is still not allowed to be used, running in strength building is not always easier with more weight to carry, and training of swords is mainly in action. This guy is always strong. He doesn't give a shit about it. With the exception of Will and Syrah, the only one who can win is Colin. Even Francesca was getting pretty strong.

And it is seriously equipped such as Kensei's opponent. It's still easier when you're dealing with Lux, and that goes on day after day.

I went back to the village mansion to soothe that tired mind and body, and gathered my maids to plan a harem meal, and Ellie joined me as queen in Norinoli.

Satti, of course, somehow became the two of us in the servant setting to Tirica and Lilia. I didn't do anything terrible because it was a mess, but you can touch your chest and buttocks all you want. Elves who know how to dance while snuggling with Ellie dance, and the Beasts take good care of them. It's also a lovely memory that we all took a big bath in the mansion.

That was a game we could have had because Anne wasn't busy in connection with the red wings!

"I can't believe you want to play like this, don't you want to be king?

Ellie said that, but it's okay because I do it once in a while, and I want to forgive you for being a king and eating every day, and for being an extra liability.

So, for two days. That was fun, but it's hard to say that majesty and cool have increased. Regardless of the two already covered, my other daughter may have been disappointed in my nasty play.

Or should I have taken good care of myself from the start, given the protection? Clean it up in the bath, buy all your clothes and do it. Well, there are just ten of them.

While we were playing with it, we talked about Ellie's home in Blanca territory, and it was time to do something about the street. If you don't do it by now, I don't know when it will be after you go to Hilagis.

So today, the three of us, Ellie and Lilia, are looking down on the streets in Blanza territory. Lilia in front of me, three Ellie stuck in the back and it's a fly flight. I don't necessarily have to stick around, but it's magical efficient when it's together. I feel good, too.

"Hey... that's bigger than I thought?

There's a spectacular mountain range right in front of me that came with Ellie's transfer magic. I was briefly thinking that I should collapse about a mountain or even dig in a tunnel...

"That's the shortest route to the Empire."

Ellie whispered in my ear from behind, and a high mountain stood at the tip of her finger. The summit is still much higher to the extent that it has risen slightly on Lilia's fly. Its top is covered in snow despite the fact that summer is near. According to Ellie, it's over 5,000 meters in the highest mountain.

Its mass is a bit out of hand enormous. I was licking a little.

If the streets could pass normally in the first place, I wouldn't have done it. But I would have. Of course, if it's about mountain trails, it's still the minimum route that people can take, and the rugged mountain trails can't pass, so merchants, as well as the military, can't send a lot of them on foot only, and time and effort will be considerable. A detour route will quadruple or fivefold the distance, and the detour route tends to be mountainous and never an easy route, he said. You'll need maintenance later, too.

"Bigger than I thought, and a little impossible from the front."

"Just a little bit?

"Maybe we can take it seriously."

There are too many high and low differences to go through the streets as they are, and too long in tunnels. It wouldn't be hard to dig and make with dirt magic, but normal people over here would naturally use fire for lights. Is it okay to lack acid or something without being air-conditioned? I tried to run it, and there's a dead man. Then there's going to be a hole in my stomach.

In doing so, I can only think of a simple way to break down the mountain itself anymore.

I don't want to be too fancy, but the streets are a dead and alive issue for the surrounding villages. Immigrants from the Hilagis residence will also arrive soon. The story is that the previous lord was isolated by a demonic blow and eventually had to abandon his territory. It would be outrageous to align them with the kind of eyes that would lose their homeland twice.

All you have to do is leave it to the overflowing magic to blow up when it's just a big mountain. You won't be able to do it with one shot, but dirt magic is magically efficient. The effect range can also be set fairly wide. You could probably do it in a few days. And if it takes time, it will also be a good bone break for training.

But wipe out the mountains... move? Will it be moving the soil to level the mountains to the ground? No matter how little people are nearby, there will be an impact on the environment. And to the ecosystem.

"Do you blame me? Kanji?"

When I explained my concerns, Ellie's reaction was this. They don't have environmentally protective concepts in different worlds.

"When the mountains are gone, the wind flows, right? That will affect the weather, the way it rains. It changes the climate around here."

Just a little easier, try to be specific.

"Really?

"I don't know. The mountain might change."

Regardless of whether the whole mountain range will disappear, will the impact on the climate be minimal or very limited for about a minute through the road? Changes in water flow and water pollution would be considerable, but that should remain the only impact on the neighborhood.

"Besides, if an entire animal or plant disappears, the creatures living around you might have trouble"

"Well, maybe that's true."

"Then you see, dragons have lived there and demons and animals have pushed over to Siorii, right? That could happen."

"When it does, it does. So what are we supposed to do?

"Well, yeah."

I'm talking about maybe everywhere. In fact, I don't know what will happen if I don't try. Even with my magic, I may not be able to do something about the mountain in and of itself.

"I don't know if it's more or less Seitai Kai, but it's your brothers who have trouble without a route from the Empire, and you should annihilate any demons or animals that get in the way, right?

It's a different world, basically living or dying. You can't afford to worry about anything other than humans, and you're hunting down demons from the edge of your eye, which is even more so now than I say.

"Aren't you going to break the mountain on your own and complain from someone?

"We're supposed to be in our territory from the mountains, and we probably don't claim ownership anywhere about the mountains."

Unless it's a mine, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

At least there are no people nearby and there is no immediate impact. You can also avoid the highest mountain to sharpen and sharpen the lower left or right areas as small as possible.

"Then it's on the right. It's not relatively tall, and it's easy to take the route to the center of the Empire."

If you rinse, move over there to check the topography from the sky.

"The village of Blanza is this way, and the central part of the Empire is that way. The neighboring lord's village is probably beyond that."

"Hmm. It's easy to get through the streets if it breaks down in about two places."

It's not as expensive as the third one, and I can't see it from the other side because I'm blocked by it, so even if I do it somewhat flashy, I don't seem to have to worry about it being seen directly.

"And this isn't a volcano, is it?

Once it collapses, it won't be a major eruption or anything stylish.

You don't hear about the eruption.

If there had been eruptions in the past, there must be volcanic ash mixed in the soil. You will naturally find out in the village of Blanza, which makes agriculture its main industry.

"The rest is right. Easier passage means demons can get through, right? We're going to lose all the natural elements we've had."

"Then we'll build a fort or a wall after it collapses."

I want to be cautious just because things are big, but is that about all you need to think about? Should I actually try and think about the rest?

"Just in case it's a volcano, why don't we talk to your brother-in-law and get permission before we do it?"

So I went down to the top of the target mountain and looked it up with earth-detecting magic (Earth Sonar)...

I know there's a groundwater flow in the detection range. So I probably don't have a magma, and I don't feel a reaction like that.

"This isn't a volcano. Amateur judgment doesn't guarantee that."

What's Magma's reaction like in the first place? I was worried that you would probably know because it feels different from normal soil and rocks.

"You'll be fine if I tell you that Massal is fine. There's no such thing as a dirt wizard with a wider range of detection than a massal."

"Just to make sure, why don't we just go back to the village of Blanza?"

So I went back and opened the door best, and Ellie asked my brother-in-law about the volcano, but he said it wasn't around here.

"But I'm gonna build a street. Why are we talking about volcanoes?

Yes, my brother-in-law poses a natural question.

"If you wipe out the mountain, and it's a volcano, the Massal says it could erupt and destroy the perimeter."

"Wait. Erase the mountain!?

"Do you actually feel like you're going to cut what you need with dirt magic?"

My brother-in-law gave me a relieved look in my words.

"I looked into it, and I figured I couldn't find a good route to build the streets."

I've only been looking at it for a little while today, but I'm sure Ellie will have made an effort to find a route by then.

"So I decided to turn off about two mountains and make my way."

"You know that mountain range?

"The right side of the tallest is a little lower, isn't it? If we lose about two mountains over there, we can make our way to the Empire, right?

"You can make that... with dirt magic? Turn it off? Sharpen it?

Ellie snorts cocklessly at your brother-in-law's words.

"Is that what you can do?

"Masal would be possible"

Lilia says confidently.

"That's the first time I've done it. I'm talking about why I should try it. It's just that."

"Just?"

Sassy's brother-in-law's face catches on.

"We're going to lose one mountain, so there's a lot of impact. For example -"

Repeat what you just said about environmental issues and so on.

"No, is that really okay?

"It's just a hypothetical story that it could all be. Sounds unlikely, brother-in-law. I'm not talking about taking responsibility if anything happens, because it could happen. If you need anything, we can do something about it."

"Your brother would be in trouble if there wasn't a route to the center of the Empire, wouldn't he?

Once there are other lords next to each other, but the scale is on par with the Blanza territory. There is no force that can be attacked by a large group of demons to support them, that way and far and the road is bad in the first place.

Little was gained from building streets on that side, and priority was given to creating an imperial central route first. Well, Ellie really took my thoughts on the mountains.

"What do you want to do?

"There's no other way, is there?

Maybe, but it's probably the quickest. As early as today we will be able to make our way through.

Looks like your brother-in-law who looked lost made the decision in Ellie's words. He drank his breath with Gokuri and lowered his head slightly to me, "Please" with a trembling voice.

"Oh, if you leave it to the Massal, everything will be fine. You should expect good news, brother-in-law."

Why did your brother-in-law give you an unnecessarily anxious look instead of looking relieved at all in Lilia's words?

That's why I came to the summit of the planned site again, but I got very anxious that it was the bump production. I tried all the dirt magic, but this magic is of course my first attempt. I asked Ellie if it would be better to test it somewhere once, but she said that there was no problem trying it here and that it was a waste of magic and time.

It probably doesn't make such a difference to Ellie in demonic and sensory terms than it is in land that is part of the territory but not used. Well, I don't think I'm worried too much either.

"Do you want to try"

Whatever it is, you have to do it. It doesn't start. The basics are earthly magic level 5 earthquake magic. But if you need more destruction than you need, you can reduce your power and consume magic lightly. And broaden the scope as much as you can.

Images matter for magic activation. Ellie used the noisy expression of erasing, but would it actually feel like pushing the soil of a high place out to a lower part of the perimeter, breaking the mountain? Fortunately, the target mountain is quite daunting. Near the summit is a chopped cliff, which, if chopped, reduces the height at once, and narrows the range.

I plan to have Lilia retrieve it when the magic is activated and evacuate it into the sky. I'm going to make sure my standing position doesn't have a magical effect, but I don't know if it will have it when my surroundings collapse.

Focus your magic slowly - fast chanting is unsuitable in this case. Ellie told me that faster chanting makes it that hard to control. It is said that the normal chanting speed is easier to control when it is massive magic, and the magic that can be included is greater. It's just that if the chanting time gets longer, that's gonna make it harder to control, and there's plenty of room for thought to adjust around it.

The magic grows as I think about it. It's time to throw away the extra clutter and concentrate. I feel the magic thickening and the billowing and the earth trembling. Is this magic leaking? Well, it's time to limit your magic. Whether it's in action or at this time, it doesn't matter if it's detected beforehand.

"Landslide"

That's the name of this magic. At the same time as it unleashed its magic, the ground began to ring violently, and the collapse of the mountain began.

"Escape!"

Soon Lilia's fly will activate and escape into the sky. Looking at it for a second, the original place was still about to collapse with the mountains. But what's going on is that huge earthen smoke is about to come out and my vision is blocked.

"Did it work?

"It's gonna be okay."

It was surprisingly quiet against the massive terrain fluctuations that were happening either because of the distance away or under my eyes.

"It felt exactly as I imagined it, but I don't know."

Sooner or later the earth smoke cleared up. The mountain was clean, without a trace.

"That's Masaru. Isn't it brilliant?"

If I do it, I can do it. Well, that's because I imagined it and activated magic with almost all my powers.

As its image suggests, the massive amount of soil was magically pushed away and the soaking highlands were spreading. Perhaps the height of the mountain has been reduced to about half. However, it is still quite tall from the flatlands. Is it something like 1000 or 1500 meters?

"I can't keep it up or through, but I'd prefer it to be a little lower"

Once again we descend to a point that would be near the original summit. From the top, it looked like it was creepy, but the big rocks were pouring out everywhere. It's going to be quite disturbing to build a path, but well, nothing can happen at once.

"What do we do next?

"Now I guess it feels like building a valley here. Push the dirt out on both sides. So lower the ground to a lower position."

Now I decide to divide it into several parts. The basics are the same as a landslide, but the range is narrow because it only takes a portion of the road. However, it will now be necessary to increase the force to push laterally.

Concentrate on your magic.

Three degrees of magic allowed the valley to run straight through the mountains. All you have to do is go through the streets to this low part. But the lowest part would be a water passage, a river. Look at the margin and set it to a slightly higher part.

"It's like a giant dragon went by."

Ellie says that. It is true that the valley, passed straight and in a straight line, has an unnaturalness that does not seem to be a terrain that was naturally made.

"Isn't that nice, the passage of the giant dragon. Or is it Giant Dragon Street?

Well, I don't care about the name. Magic is still there.

"Shall we do the other mountain by the same procedure? We'll build the streets later."

And the passage of the giant dragon was even longer and the route to the imperial hinterland was tentative but complete.

Then the second landslide raised one level. I just went up in Oak King the last time, how many creatures on earth have been sacrificed...

Instead of creatures in the passage of the giant dragon, which roughly shredded the earth, only a few traces remain as to whether even the trees that were growing there were swallowed by the earth. I didn't wear the guild card this time. Taking crusade records isn't going to be money, it's just going to be an extra hassle if you have a massive, unintelligible record from the guild.

Regardless of the demon, I was even guilty of massacring just a creature that was just there. I don't want to leave as much physical evidence as possible that I did, including the fact that I erased two mountains.

"Exactly tired"

It's been a long time since we've had a series of massive magic and less magic left.

"After that, we'll build a road, a castle wall on the way?

"Right. But it's going to look pretty good. I don't think there's a problem."

Feels like I saw it. The volcano hasn't exploded, and there's no way the dragon that's vandalized the dwelling is going to burst.

"I have to thank Massal again when I have a decent path."

"I wish I didn't mind anything else"

"No, you can't. This is a Blanza business, so you should be thankful."

"Well, if that's the case, I'll give you a penny."

"Well, we'll see about that later."

"Yeah. Good luck with another job, then"

"Masaru can go back now. I can do all the rest, and Massal will rest and train properly?

Seriously. I thought I could take a few days off with this.

"Isn't it tough on your own because of the wide range?

"I'm fine. I can concentrate on this."

"Then we should send out personnel, too."

"Oh, that would help."

There's no other way to help Ellie.

Um, okay. I had planned to take a break from this for a couple of days. My daughters all seem busy, but my maids without protection are always on the move ok. Shall we take this opportunity to deepen our interaction?

In the meantime, I looked around again and made sure there was no problem and went back that day.

And it is about the next day. Ellie, who had been out early in the morning telling me she was too busy to know if she could go back, ran into my room.

"Masal, my God!

"What's up, what happened!?

Nothing should have gone wrong as of yesterday...

"Ore came out after Masaru shredded it!

"Of what?

"It looks like there was iron and then other metals and gems. Anyway, with all the dust all over the place and ready to dig... duh, what do we do?

Ellie's original territory is flat to develop, and there are no mining technicians. He doesn't have a mine at all at Lilia's either, but he noticed the elf he took to help.

"If we don't hurry, someone might find us and get us ahead of ourselves."

You can naturally assert your rights based on how you built the street, but when it's proprietary first, the story becomes more difficult. I don't want to spread the story that I did it magically as much as possible, and mountain areas are talking about obscure ownership.

Profits are immeasurable if they can be monopolized.

"Did you build the walls?

"Yeah, about in the middle of the street"

"Let's make it on both ends and surround it"

If it's going to be a mine, we can make that safe, and we can claim it's the territory of the village of Blanza. But we can't talk about it if we can actually develop a mine in the surroundings.

"Let's get the Wall Guard out of my concubine's place."

"It really helps, Lilia!

So securing the mine doesn't seem to be a problem. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't had an elf every time.

"There is plenty of iron, as well as demand for precious metals and gemstones, in the elves. If the mine is up and running, you can sell it to us."

"Could it be a joint development or something?

It relies on elves in times of trouble.

"Hmm. If it's a kingdom, you can't move too much in the empire. Besides, we don't have an expert in the first place."

Did anyone know who that was? Speaking of mines, is that still Dwarf? But the only person I know is the King's Capital. That's a little far to go and ask. Looks like some Dwarves were in and out of Lilia's, but this is far too. I want to avoid the risk of teaching the gate or something as much as possible.

Nearby or Biels? Why don't you talk to your master and find a handout? Apparently, there are disciples around the world. The next nearest is Hiragis......

"Isn't there about a mining official in Hilagis' residence?

"That's it! Let's hear it from the Beast Man."

Speaking to the Beast Man, they immediately found a veteran dwarf in the residence regarding mine development. He seemed to hang around with plans to return to the original mine if Hiragis was recaptured, but the short term meant he could promise a high reward to recruit him.

At last, the Dwarf's proposal also hired dozens of workers and said they were likely to manage to create a development system.

"Now we make a lot of money too!

"Good for you. And now the Blanca is cheap."

That's what I say when I hear Ellie report back. People get together if they can mine. Blanca territory will also develop further.

"What are you talking about, even to the Yamanos? Anyway, from what to what we did, naturally profits... ah"

"Hmm?"

"I haven't reported it to your brother yet..."

That's a little terrible. Apparently, they found the mine and came to me first.

"Of course, I accept it after the fact, but I am unhappy with my brother-in-law."

"Oh, yeah. I was in a hurry."

"So you're going to deliver the oversized good news! Is Masaru coming?

Lilia says, laughing with real fun when she comes around. What's so much fun?

"I'm good."

I'm going to take my time at home today and dress all dressed up. You're a little nervous when you meet your brother-in-law, aren't you? It's hard to crack.

According to Ellie, who came back after a while, we talked at 30% of the profits. I'm the one who made the mine diggable, and the Blanza family has no personnel, no connections, nothing.

Take out the initial cost of development at home. There are many parts that can be made magically, such as walls and villages that are planned to be built locally, but the wages of workers, as well as equipment and tools for mine development, will require considerable funding from scratch. They're going to put in what Lilia earned on the bet for this.

Looks like half of the profits are going to be in our house for years, with a good charge for the construction of the free part of the castle wall. But still, my brother-in-law, who always had a rare or anxious face, said he was also in a very good mood.

"Your brother makes money off the shelves, and that's all he deserves. Everything couldn't have been done without Masaru."

It's been a story since it came into operation because how much profit it actually benefits depends on the size of the mine, but from the abundance of iron and precious metals, he said, it could also be income beyond the times when it was the Count's house if it did badly.

But...... is this a little bad?

"Wouldn't this make a scene?

It's important that the mountains have disappeared, but all I'm saying is that the streets have just been created on the border. I thought that if we didn't find out that the mountain was gone, the more noisy it would be, but when this made a lot of profitable mines, naturally there would be people interested.

"We're the only ones who know Masaru's done it so far, and if you keep your mouth shut, isn't our seat going to be okay?

"Really?

"Well, you might find out soon enough."

Right? But I can't imagine a mine coming out, and I still can't think of a better way to build a street or anything. Well, I don't know. Should I let it pass without knowing? I was supposed to be in Biels if they didn't know about the gate in the first place.

But it's good to have more sources of income. Besides, if we get the mine development know-how with this, we can always do the same thing. There are a lot of mountain areas around the village of Yamanos, and your income after your adventurer's retirement isn't cheap?

"I know. I'll make sure to stop this at the Blanza house. What Masaru's supposed to do isn't this small, is it?

Ellie says that to me when I think about the future. I have no idea about that.

"And the profits you get from us go hand in hand with the gratuities you said yesterday, and you can like Masaru."

I'm glad it was about a penny, but if I suck, the Earls' profit on the budget?

I'm talking about my dreams swelling, but I was just trying to make my way, so why does it get bigger every time I move?
