Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 234: Everything that you do doesn't change after all
"Healing yesterday, cooking yesterday, and civil engineering today?"
I suppose it's time to take control of Griselburg and put the system in place, and do everything you can. If I wave my power in front of the public, my authority or my reputation as an apostle of God will gradually rise.
Today we are working on the demolition of a group of excavated huts in southwestern Griselburg and the construction of alternative housing complexes. It seems to be on the verge of becoming a ghetto in the middle of the year, and in the meantime, it seems that the incidence of the plague will be reduced by making the digging shed decent housing, which is not at a level where there is an unhygienic gap wind. I don't know how effective it actually is.
"Hey, that..."
"The rumored saint or the apostle of God... what are you doing here?
The residents are quietly worried when they see me with a large number of priests and guards. Meanwhile, the captain of the guard squadron accompanying me raised his voice.
"The Apostle will now demolish all the illegal structures on this block and give us a new home! Help us and solemnly accept!
"Hey."
I'm not mistaken, but there's a way to put it.
"You're going to destroy our house!
"Bullshit!
Garbage and pebbles pour down at the Squadron Captain.
"The garbage that doesn't pay the head tax! Stay calm!
"No, no, no! Don't pull out the sword! Residents stay! Calm down!"
Retain the Squadron Commander from behind and let the residents settle down. In other words, when I saw Ms. Zamir with the meteor of the Mythrill Cross Spear in her mouth, it seemed that the inhabitants were misted with something called rebellion. Ms Zamir stayed. Stay.
"In the meantime, it's more evidence than theory. I will never lose it, so I need your help. I promise I won't be in trouble with where I sleep today, and if I do, I'll arrange a place to stay."
Not only me, but also the priests of Adolphus, were you glad to persuade me, or were you afraid of Miss Zamir, who is holding the meteor? In the meantime, the owner of the four consecutive digging cabins offered to cooperate, so I asked the landlord and the guards to carry the furniture out.
"It's not like furniture."
Uncle taunted himself and brought out poor shelves, chairs, tables, etc., and then something like small dishes and water bottles. Other digging cabins have the same feeling, and the box appears to have changed clothes.
Well then, let's break it first.
That's what I took out was a shiny mythrill harvesting axe. The excavation huts around here are mostly made of wood, so this one is better than Tsuruhashi.
"It's quite a splendid axe...."
The resident's uncle is not even in good shape, no matter how good an axe he is, he wonders if it will get dark if I destroy it alone. In fact, my uncle's concern is all the more serious because there is no one else who is trying to demolish the digging shed.
But that's on the assumption that I'm a normal person.
"Shh!
Bleep, a vigorously shaken Mythrill Harvesting Axe wipes out about half of the shack with a single shake. Apparently, the dug cabin was not durable, and disappeared in one stroke. The inventory appears to contain wood and cloth as materials.
"Am I dreaming...?
With my murmuring uncle in my eyes, I shaken the Mythrill Harvesting Axe in a row and destroyed four digging huts in less than a minute. Scattered debris and pieces of furniture are stored in the inventory and disassembled into materials.
"Horizontal leveling."
Using Japan's first release of Mithrill Hammer, we will strike the subtly uneven ground to ground a wide area. It's convenient to flatten a wide area with just one stroke and make the building a solid ground that you deserve to build. It's not much of a material, but it's also useful in destroying structures. Or too much standing.
Shortly before, I tried to shake it into a stone building that was scheduled to be demolished, and it was shattered without a trace in a single blow. And it didn't become a material either. Honestly, Tsuruhashi is a hundred times easier to use if it is not destructive. However, since the ground can be flattened over a wide area, it seems to be valuable for building foundations and developing streets. Its destructiveness is chaotic, so it may even be used as a weapon. I don't think I'll get a chance to use it.
Build it then ~
I build two floors, one floor, two floors, four rooms, a total of eight houses. There is no gap wind, and it is a building that is also built in Arrihiburg and Merynesburg. It is a property that is pressed by the thrill that can accommodate up to two people per room without any problems. Compared to bungalow buildings, the housing supply efficiency per land area is good.
"I built it. Lock it yourself."
"Whoa... which room should I use?
"Why don't we discuss this with the four Aboriginal people?
The owners of the four digging houses that I proposed to demolish gather to discuss. As a result, two elderly people had to live on the ground floor and two middle-aged people had to live in two rooms.
"I'm fine now, but it might be hard to get up and down the stairs someday...."
"It's a warm house with no gap winds. It's going to be cold, so thank you."
Saying such a thing, they are watching two elderly guards bring in furniture.
"I'm going to rebuild it like this, so I need your help."
"" "Ok!
It was quick to see what actually happened. Without our instructions, the inhabitants carry their baggage from their quarters autonomously and help me with my work. It would have been very cooperative if it had been possible to convert a sturdy and beautiful stone room from a wooden cabin with a strong gap wind.
"Speaking of which, it's going to be cold?
"Yes, it will be winter in less than a month. It doesn't snow much, but the temperatures are going down and the wind is getting pretty cold."
Ms Zamir exhales when she says it's a tough season for me. It seems that Ms. Zamir is not good at cold. Because it is a reptile, when it gets cold, I can't keep my body warm and hibernate?
"Winter....."
It's been a little hot up until now, but I don't think it's been much of a season. I wonder if it's because I was watching crop cultivation that feels like the seasons don't matter, or if I'm not familiar with this calendar yet. It's been a long time since I've been here, and maybe it was just after winter that I came to our world.
"Let's just get this job done."
That's right.
Miss Zamir does not do anything directly because she is my escort, but it is very convenient to be as tough and understandable as she looks. If Lizardman with a sharp gaze and a large cross spear with a dazzling glow were to stare at me, those who would want to do mischievous things to me would be long gone. If you act badly, it is inevitable that the spear will strike you in half.
Destroy the upholstered shed where the furniture was removed with a Mithrill Axe, level the ground with a Mithrill Hammer, and pop up the residence. While such work was being repeated, none of the huts had been dug up, and a residential area with two-storey apartment complexes had been created.
"What about the extra room?
"Someone will come from the Lords House later to make a proper match."
The guards questioned by the inhabitants are returning such a reply. Not only that, but they also wonder what they will do in the future. The impatient squadron commander who pulled the sword earlier said he didn't pay the head tax, so perhaps the people who live around here are poor enough not to pay the tax. If you rebuild a new house, it won't solve everything. We must do something about the strongest enemies who have created a situation where they can live in such a shack and pay no taxes.
The enemy is that of poverty.
That's a tough question.
"That's a tough question."
I finished my daytime work and met Ellen at the Lords Hall, where I was sharing a table with her to report on what happened to each other today.
I'm good at solving problems in the short term, but it's hard to save the people who lived in the southeast section of the city. That might be part of the solution if you give them farmland and let them cultivate it, but agriculture is not that easy. No, that may not be the case if you do it on the block of farmland I laid down, but it's not usually that simple. It's just that plowing the ground and spreading seeds is not the solution.
"Nevertheless, I'm not going to discredit Koske. It's good that Koske gave them a new house, but if that causes them to end up losing even their home, Koske could be treated like a plague god."
"What do you think I'm gonna do?
"I think so. It would be the Kingdom of Merinard that actually breaks the bones. Of course, we will cooperate wherever we can."
After all, it would be nice if they had something to earn. Creating jobs... I don't think we'll be able to do anything overnight, but I'm sure we'll do something good. Well, since the soldiers of the Holy King's kingdom and the people who are completely forgiven for living with the subhumans who have been slaves until now will leave the Holy King's kingdom, it is likely that the Kingdom of Merinard will suffer from a shortage of manpower in the future. That would increase nature and jobs. That's where Sylvie and Merty get their hands on it.
"I have to do what I can."
"That's what it is. When I hit it....."
"Can I hit it?
When I heard back, Ellen blushed away from me with her red eyes.
"How about working hard for me today, away from Koske?"
Okay!
What kind of cute guy would say no? No, I'm not. Let's spoil it to the fullest.
