The second of reality was proper earlier than my eyes. We watched the breakwater that was constructed proper in time, and stood its floor in opposition to the ravaging waves.
It rained your entire day, and the water stage rose, testing the may of the breakwater. Luckily, it appeared like destiny was lastly on my facet.
In contrast to earlier than, when the waters reached the coconut bushes on the shore and spilled to the areas past it, now, the seas did not even attain the shore.
The breakwater efficiently broke the enormous waves and stopped the water from flooding the lands.
“Congratulations, my lord. It is a success,” stated Athena.
“Simply in time earlier than the Blood Rain.”
I did not wish to sound pessimistic, however I additionally did not wish to increase my hopes up unnecessarily. “It is only a one-day rain. We won’t assume the identical for seven days of the storm.”
“So long as the rain would not grow to be a storm, the breakwater would be capable to deal with it,” assured Athena.
That is proper. The extent of the Blood Rain wasn’t determined but. Who knew if it was simply going to be a pitter-patter and that I used to be worrying for nothing?
“Let’s return house and relaxation,” I stated as a substitute. “All of us deserve a break.”
After all, none really heeded my command as everybody went again to their work. Apparently, there was no such phrase as ‘relaxation’ within the Tokens’ vocabulary.
That meant no relaxation for me, too, since I might really feel dangerous and responsible if I used to be the one one who was resting whereas the others labored.
Not Florin, although. She went straight to our home, tiptoeing alongside the best way.
“What would you wish to eat, my lord?” Florin requested the second we reached our home. “Stew? Fried? Or roasted meat?”
No less than she was the one cooking. “Something is ok,” I answered. “I will be checking across the space first.”
“Do not go too far. It is getting darkish. Ok~?”
“It is in all probability as a result of it is raining and the clouds blocked the solar,” I answered and obtained out.
No less than I had gotten used to her and everybody’s presence these previous few days. I not stuttered after I was speaking to them . . . effectively, just a bit.
Our home was already accomplished, and it might function our City Corridor or TH, as Athena defined. It was a two-story home fabricated from white stone partitions and blue tile roofs. And it had probably the most Hit Factors or HP out of all of the structured in my property. Round 5 thousand.
It was a twenty by twenty-meter home furnished with the required facilities. There have been three bedrooms upstairs, together with mine. The main bedroom was naturally mine, and it had a small workplace and loo inside. Different rooms have one shared lavatory.
On the bottom flooring was a fire which was within the space that served as the lounge. There was additionally a kitchen with all the required instruments to cook dinner easy dishes, in addition to a eating space simply throughout it.
The small salt cave on the facet additionally served as our fridge, whereas the cabinets have been filled with jars stuffed with pickled fruits, meat, and different dried goodies. Hanging on the picket beams have been the dried and smoked meats, fruits, and all types of spices and herbs.
There was additionally a hidden compartment that solely I knew about, the place I saved further meals and medicines in case there was an emergency.
You would by no means be too secure.
<Host is starting to get paranoid. A needed emotion to make sure your security!>
Yeah. Yeah. I sighed and went outdoors after I was positive that my home was well-equipped to cope with something when the Blood Rain got here.
Utilizing a makeshift umbrella fabricated from wooden because the deal with and dried cogon grass as the cover, I went round my property.
All the things was completed — the partitions, vegetable farm, vertical backyard, animal barns, and even Ulysses’ laboratory.
Nevertheless, Daedalus wasn’t the sort to simply relaxation and lazed round, so he began upgrading the partitions. The remainder of the employees by no means stopped foraging for supplies both.
The makeshift partitions have been fabricated from wooden because it was solely a brief measure in opposition to wild beasts. Now that Daedalus had time to spare, he was going to interchange wooden with stones to make them sturdier and eye-pleasing.
A grasp builder was not one to fiddle when it got here to structure and engineering.
Every of my amenities additionally had a stage, and the upper the extent, the upper the HP that they had, and the extra options it may have.
The picket partitions served as my main protection, and presently, it was solely at LV. 2 with 200 HP. Daedalus was upgrading it to LV. 3 Stone Partitions with 500 HP.
I observed that each improve took longer too. Like, if I needed to improve the animal barn and make it bigger to accommodate extra animals and add options like a swinging cow brush or the extra superior milking machine sooner or later, it might take roughly three to 5 days.
Even when I did not stroll round, I may nonetheless see all of the amenities by way of my display screen. With a press of a button, every thing was displayed on the map. And by every thing, I meant all buildings, paths, and even the creatures in my territory.
All their info and upgrades have been additionally displayed after I pressed them.
However nonetheless, I needed to go searching and personally verify every thing. Minion 0 was guarding the place, strolling right here and there whereas sniffing out any menace close by.
On this beginner village from the place I used to be teleported, there have been in all probability no beasts stronger than Minion 0. It was the proper guard.
On a facet word, Ulysses was nonetheless cooped up in his lab, creating all types of potions and concoctions whereas the animals have been getting cozy of their pen. After I was positive there was nothing amiss, I moved to the rice paddy subsequent.
Strolling from my territory to the south hills earlier than the mountains solely took me ten minutes. There have been 4 small layers of rice paddies in there.
In comparison with the opposite crops that solely wanted three to 4 days earlier than harvest, rice took twenty days.
So till now, there was no rice.
One other drawback was that I did not have machines and instruments to course of the rice that may separate it from its husk or course of it into flour and different merchandise.
Daedalus wanted blueprints for these, and I puzzled the place and the way I may purchase one with out utilizing pressure. I badly wanted rice. Occurring for nearly a month with no rice was making me lose my thoughts.
I wanted that piece of white, sticky, creamy, tasty, gooey piece of grain to stay!
<Don’t be concerned, Host. One other batch of blueprints is coming your means>
Huh?
Earlier than I may ask the system what it meant, a collection of notifications shocked me, rooting me in my present spot.
<CONGRATULATIONS to Host for efficiently DESTROYING ROSELAKE TOWN!>
