The Exiled Royal Architect Develops An Island With Magic Construction Equipment And Fluffy Animals - CH 2

Then one day, I was directly summoned by the king and confronted in the audience chamber. The king is still young, not yet 40 years old.

The reason for this is because the previous king suddenly fell ill and died. Consequently, his legitimate son was crowned on short notice.

”Walker. I’ve heard from the minister, that you’re someone who frequently pretends to do his job, and that you speak as though you’re high and mighty.”

”No way, I don’t think of myself as being someone so important…”

”Stop the excuses. I have read the estimate you’ve drawn up, and I thought it was a joke since it was so ridiculously expensive. However, according to the minister, he says that you were serious.”

”Of course I wouldn’t tell a lie about such a thing.”

I did my best to keep costs down. It’s true that it seems high at first glance, but the skills of magic architects have greatly transformed this country. Before, the country used to be considered a small, rural country, but magic architecture has transformed the roads and brought about railways that magic trains can run on.

Many of the factories now using magic formulae have also increased their productivity, resulting in vast profits. 25 trillion Corz may seem like a lot at first glance, but the past 100 years alone must have netted far greater profits.

If you look at it that way, you can easily cover 25 trillion Corz.

”Walker. Let me give you a reality check. Here is a quotation I asked another contractor to produce. Your Majesty, please bring your attention to this.”

”Hm… Huhhh! An amazing 25 billion Corz? You say this will settle it?”

”Yes. The contractor said that this would be enough.”
