I-Is that what you want me to do, Master Alphonse?
"Yeah, that's right, Lassen. As stipulated here, Lassen will dig the sewers. I also plan to open the subway at a later date, so please take care of it.”
"Well, the workload is going to be unbelievable..." It's hard to lay sewers under this kind of land. "
“What are you talking about? There's a magic ring with an Earth Essence, so it's okay. I mean, I decided to do the sewage system first, so if you don't start right away, I'll be in trouble. Come on, Lassen."
"I understand." Just say it, and I'll do my job. If you take this ring away, I'll be the one to bother you. Let's show them what it's like to work. ”
Create a new city with Eye.
The city will be my new home.
Therefore, even after careful planning, I decided to start construction as soon as I could.
Instruct Lassen to build the sewer and its equipment by handing over the drawings based on the plan.
It is only natural that Lassen, who saw the drawing, accidentally held his head.
The sewage system was also very extensive in order to become a very large city.
I know how it feels to let myself do it.
But as long as you have a magical ring that can become a labyrinth core outside of me, I'm sure Rassen will be able to work for you.
If it is not possible, the ring will be confiscated.
It was because she knew that Lassen's eyes were firmly looking at the drawings.
"...... I'm curious about this drawing."
"What? What is it, Lassen?"
“It looks like a sewer as a normal urban plan at first glance. No, that's the wrong scale, but let's leave that alone. But what do you mean, this is the drawing made by Senator Ai? Aye, there are a few things that are bothering me about the chairman's work. There's something unnatural about it."
"Huh. Do you know that if you work for a full-time job?" I didn't feel any discomfort when I looked at the sewage drawings. It just seemed like a normal sewer for a new city. ”
"You must be amateurish." No, that's not true. This may not even be known to anyone involved in construction. But this is what I've seen, because I've crossed countries and dug holes in the ground. Especially when it comes to drawings made by people like President Ai who do no wasteful work, there are unnecessary places and detours, so I'm worried about them. Isn't this just about building a city? "
"... you want to know? Once you know that, you can't go back, Lassen." I mean, it's too late. That's exactly what you notice. Lassen says this drawing was drawn for a purpose. Even if you just look at it, you won't understand it. "
"Ah, after all, there is something." Maybe I shouldn't have asked. Since ancient times, it has been said that buildings made by noble people have eliminated all those involved in architecture in order to keep their information secret, so is that the case? ”
Well, maybe it is.
It is conceivable to dispose of architectural objects in order to conceal the secret of a building that has been built by a person with an inexhaustible identity.
Given that, this urban plan is too big to be kept secret.
How many people will be needed to complete the construction as usual?
If we get rid of them all, it's going to be a big deal.
But I think it would be nice to have Rassen.
After all, I'm going to leave most of this underground facility to Rassen.
If you want Rassen to keep a secret, you can make a blood deal.
Even if Lassen knew the secrets of this city, it would be much easier than normal construction, as it would be easier for him to limit himself to letting people go so easily.
Does Lassen know Sanctuary magic?
[Sanctuary]? Well, I don't really know, but is there such a thing as magic?
"That's right. Well, Rassen is a rare person not named around here." It would be natural not to know. I mean, most people don't even know if they can use magic. "
"I see." What kind of magic is it? "
"It's a magic that purifies everything." It is also a magic that places it even higher than Purification to target people and objects, and turns it into a space that purifies the surrounding land. "
"Huh. It's a clean space, isn't it? Can Alphonse use it?"
"Yeah. I can use it. My magic power went up and my rank went up." It's the secret of this new city to keep [Sanctuary] active throughout the city. The purest city in the world, the Holy Imperial City. ”
The plan was to use the city itself as a magic circle.
If that was feasible, what kind of magic circle would you deploy?
That was the problem.
Therefore, after sporadically discussing it with Ai, it was the [Sanctuary] that ended up.
This is a magic that I was able to use with the ascension of the ranks by taking blood from Benjamin.
When the Sanctuary is activated, a clean light illuminates the surrounding area around that point, completely shining a beam for a while.
It's the best magic against the dead.
Use it on a new city.
The magic of Ai will make it a clean city that will never be broken.
A city that uses a ring as a labyrinth core and can fill its body with rich magical power within its [Sanctuary].
In that case, even people who are ignorant about magic will understand that the city is not unusual.
And that should lead to my assessment of the city I created.
Thus, the new city, as a sacred imperial city, began with the digging of a hole in Lassen.
