The Exiled Royal Architect Develops An Island With Magic Construction Equipment And Fluffy Animals - CH 16
”Urgh, what a pain.”
While Dowal, Zamasu and the lot were conspiring at the stadium, the Abane Group’s craftsmen were about to start roadworks elsewhere.
Complaints had been coming in from the neighbours about the poor water supply. They would have normally left something like this alone, but they thought it would be troublesome if the citizens started making a fuss about the problem after Wirk left, saying that it was caused by Wirk’s absence.
”Tsk, it’s this cobblestone pavement that’s such a pain.”
”And it’s even hard under the pavement.”
The roads in the royal capital were paved with a specially constructed magic cobblestone pavement using magic architecture. Mancrete is also under the pavement, which is far sturdier than old-style paving.
Normally, you would work on this kind of paving after a cut has been made using a special magic device called a magic cutter.
However, they had no such knowledge and naturally, no such tool. Therefore, they used hammers and other tools to break the pavement with brute force.
But it was obvious that this method would result in a mess afterwards.
”Ah~, I somehow broke it. Can finally see the soil.”
”But what we gonna do with all this crushed cobblestone?”
”Hehe, I have just the thing.”
One of the craftsmen brought a board with a cobblestone-like design on it.
”With this, you just need to put it on the soil after we done. It also doesn’t take much time.”
”Genius! You’re pretty smart!”
They seemed to think that the plank was a revolutionary idea, but of course, planks and cobblestones do not have the same strength, and what they prepared was thin plywood.
”Oi! This ground’s weird. It’s filled with crushed stones!”
One of the craftsmen who were digging up the ground complained. By the way, those were magic stones used as crushed stones.
”Tsk, what the h**l, that exiled Wirk was doing some really dishonest work, huh? He was trying to inflate the budget to the limit by sloppily packing in stones, wasn’t he?”
