The main tower of Zytheas Castle.

There was a dazzling morning sun plugged into my room on the top floor.

Open the window and, for the first time in a long time, look over the whole of our castle.

"Seeing this way, it's like you're in a different castle..."

"Right. Mr. Dwarf is a real worker."

The maid clothed girl who was cleaning up breakfast - Maura answers with pleasure.

In fact, during the last 30 days or so I was out, things had changed dramatically around the castle of Zytheas.

Originally, it was built on a narrow terrace-like terrain surrounded by woods in the middle of a small but steep mountain.

That was it, the mountains were shredded, the forests were cut open, and the area of the castle was semi-circular about 300 meters radius.

Leaving the base of the original castle, the perimeter is about 10 meters down, and it looks like you've halved the bunk wedding cake vertically.

Heavy walls are also built on the lower part of the cake, with wooden buildings continuously assembled inside.

There were also splendid defensive towers and bouncing bridge-type gates on the outer walls, and cobblestone-paved paths continued through the gates.

No, the original castle, which became the 'inner wall', was quiet, but the inside and outside of the 'outer wall' were overflowing with countless human beings and dwarves.

About half of them are Schulz people, and the other half would be workers?

Anyway......

Originally called 'Fort' here, 'Castle' was a somewhat glorious way of calling it...

"It's a fine castle I'm not ashamed to serve anywhere anymore."

"Yes! Guys, surprise or delight...... Mr. Gio is amazing after all!

"It's the Dwarves that are awesome... Well, the giants and stones I put out in my spell would have helped a little, too."

As always, Mora has no hesitation in praising me.

Face to face, but I'm sure I feel good.

"... but I still think it's this castle with Mr. Gio."

To Maura's pleasant smile. Until late last night, I didn't even see the pieces of tiredness even though I was serving or cleaning up the banquet.

Just looking at it, the discomfort with the castle, which had changed dramatically, had disappeared.

I returned to Jeetaias Castle 30 days after I eventually traveled...... I mean yesterday, it was.

Negotiations with the Dwarves and the Duke of Philsand were generally successful, as were objectives such as building trade routes and concluding an alliance against the Dark.

From Battle Axe Township, a well-armed blacksmith sent him, and in Philsand, he got a new companion (staff): a diplomat and a female warrior.

You may say it was a great success.

Though within two years, a new homework could be done to drive the dead (undead) from the "Plains of Dusk" and make them pioneering.

On the other hand, it is also a great gain to have been able to find out for the first time in the battle in Philsand the existence of the 'King of the Dark'.

Until now, I had thought that something called the dark was like an infinitely naturally occurring natural disaster. But if there is such a thing as a king who directs the dark, if we defeat him, we may end the invasion of the dark.... It's unlikely, but we might even be able to negotiate.

We must gather more information about the dark.

Expanding the alliance against the Dark One even further by referring to the new joiners to the Castle of Zitheas, as well as the forthcoming expansion of the Castle and the construction of trading routes.

There are also suspicions that I am the 'focal point' for being put on the warring tribe.

There was a pile of things to do, but as usual, I never felt heavier.

Instead, you can say you're motivated.

Is this the Mora effect?

After breakfast.

I gathered my men in the main tower command room.

Not all of them, so it's a total of eight key members: Sedham, Ildo, Crawla, Reich, Zilk, and Reid, and a new addition to Elizabeth and Deane.

"Well. First of all, Sedam. He used to protect the castle while I was away. Thank you."

"Oh.... quite a struggle to be honest though"

Indeed, I seem to have had a lot of difficulty being a castle wrapper and am a little thin.

Still, it's a big deal because while I was gone, there was no discord in the castle, and I also directed demons, bandit crusades, etc.

Last night, the two of us drank lumps and said thank you and foolishness to each other. But officially acknowledging his work on such occasions is also an important task for the castle owner.

"First of all, as you can see about the expansion of the castle, it's about 60%. And then there's the barracks, the lodging, the warehouse in the castle."

"Who's on the street?

"The road connecting the three villages in the territory is already complete. The trading route to Battle Axe Township is finished to the point where you cut it open with a giant before you went out. Valvo and the others breathed today asking us to create a new giant."

"It should have been a year in the first plan..."

"That's right, but Mr. Valvo and the others seem to have significantly increased their personnel. There are currently 200 Dwarf artisans and 500 human workers recruited in nearby villages and in the city of Lellis."

I turned my back on Ill's supplement.

After all, are the people around the outer walls workers?

"You're full of motivation. You okay with meals and salaries?

"I don't have a lot of help from our people because I hire bribery officers with me. The salary…"

"It's a daily allowance and food cost paid to Dwarves and workers, but it's roughly 500 gold coins a day. Others, including the immediate cost of living for the Schulz people and the cost of maintaining the castle from their origins… roughly 1,200 pieces of gold a day."

"Oh, wow. Your eyeballs are about to burst."

Zilk flaunted his shoulder to replenish the ild again.

I felt similar, but still have plenty of room to fund my castle.

"How are the soldiers?

"Oops, that's right. I've got a lot of experience working with little ghosts and bandits."

He had left 30 soldiers in the castle who had just volunteered.

Jilk, who trained and led it, seems to be proud.

"Mr. Dooba of the House of Martial Arts (Gerbaron), sent by the War Axe Township, will be asked to set up a workshop earlier today to produce and maintain the weapons and protective equipment of the soldiers"

"That's very kind of you. There's a lot of crap coming."

It's called the construction of castles and streets, it's really good to go to Battle Axe Town.

Speaking of which, he said Valvo had created a fine bathing area in the castle. I drank too much last night and went down before I could indulge, but I'm looking forward to tonight.

"Oh, or there was one more report. They wanted to serve you. They came to the castle a lot."

"Like what?... So what's going on?

"If you're a soldier or a servant, why not a knight of the stream or a bard? I'm trying to get you to judge me, and I'm keeping you waiting in Yule Village."

"... that was a good decision. We'll have an interview soon.... I just want to be quite careful from now on in choosing what to welcome to the castle"

"For once, I've had my dark elf daughters work to confirm their qualities to the extent possible. … example, with the possessed"

"Oh. In some cases...... no, I want to be sure to use a spell to find out"

Though it's not a bad thing that people come together.

It is not easy to trust an outsider after seeing a 'dark bug' nesting in a person's brain.

... Now we need to find out more about the Dwarves and workers that are gathering.

There was something more to be done than when I woke up earlier.

I've been wanting Mora's help (buffs) sooner rather than later.
