CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: THE FIRST BUILDING OF THE TERRITORY

Early the next morning, the Mud Swamp People woke up and began a new day’s work.

Many were surprised to find that the vines that had rooted at the edge of the territory and stretched about twenty meters last night had increased their coverage to twenty-two or twenty-three meters today.

It had clearly expanded a circle.

When Lear arrived, Bain excitedly said.

"Master, the speed at which the Vine Fairy is cultivating the Starry Sky Vine far exceeds my expectations!"

"Today, we can start building houses!"

"Building today?"

Lear raised his eyebrows slightly.

"How’s the planning coming along?"

Bain replied with a touch of pride.

"Master, I completed the preliminary planning under the starlight last night..."

Saying this, he pulled out a piece of paper filled with patterns from his chest.

Lear took it, looking at the densely packed patterns and strange markings on it, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"Let’s hear it."

Bain acknowledged and began explaining in detail, pointing to a corner of the map.

"↑To the north, I plan to designate as the residential area, with water from the swamp flowing down from here, ensuring the water won’t be polluted in the future."

"→To the east, as the military zone, with the army stationed here. In the future, it should be separated from outsiders, prohibiting entry, so our military secrets won’t be exposed."

"↓To the south, as the industrial area of Weilu City, where the Blacksmith Shop, Weapon Shop, Alchemy Workshop, Tailor Shop, and so on can be set up."

"←To the west, connected to the outside world, the path into the swamp extends from here and can be designated as the commercial area for now... When Weilu City grows, it will inevitably communicate with the outside world, and having a commercial area can limit external spying on the territory, also enabling centralized management."

"The central area is your residence, also the administrative center, responsible for handling all territorial affairs."

Saying this, he asked a bit apprehensively.

"These are just preliminary ideas, and there’s a lot that’s not perfect yet... Do you see anything that needs to be added?"

Looking at the planning map, Lear fell into thought.

Indeed, it’s quite rudimentary, but at least it distinguishes the various functional sections of the territory.

It’s far from being perfect, but it’s a solid foundation for an empty territory.

While contemplating, something suddenly came to his mind, and he asked.

"Can houses be built using the Starry Sky Vine over mud and ponds?"

Bain paused, then nodded.

"Of course, the Starry Sky Vine is the cornerstone of Mire City’s construction!"

Mire City has always been the most powerful city among the Swamp Race in ancient times, leaving countless legends.

Compared to the main city of the Swamp Race, Weilu City, which only exists in words, Mire City is regarded as a Holy City by more Swamp Race members... although this city has long disappeared in the river of time.

But a city like this using the Starry Sky Vine to build houses, can this magical plant be inferior?!

Lear nodded.

"In that case, then expand the planning range of the territory."

"This two-kilometer diameter of grassland is far from enough to hold Weilu City."

"Get the later planning done as soon as possible, be bold, and look far ahead."

Bain was shaken by the calm demeanor, his eyes blazing with enthusiasm.

"Yes, Master!"

After stirring Bain’s fighting spirit, Lear turned to the spot where the Swamp Treants were rooted.

"First establish the administrative hall of Weilu City, the rest can be postponed."

He needed a landmark, a building that could rally people’s hearts.

"Grand, magnificent, and with enough space for expansion, so it won’t be outdated in the next 20, even 50, or 100 years!"

"This is my requirement for the administrative center."

"As you wish!"

At this moment, Bain’s ambition was ignited, eager to immediately demonstrate all he had learned!

While the two were communicating, sensing Lear’s presence, the Vine Fairies, who were lazing around inside the Starry Sky Vine, bounced out one by one.

Fluttering their wings, they flew to his side, started cooing, rubbing their chubby, white, rosy little cheeks against him.

Bain was full of envy.

Yesterday, when he wanted to touch these little guys’ cheeks, he was scolded furiously.

Their cute and fierce demeanors made him laugh and cry, making him realize that only Lear could make these little ones so affectionate.

It’s enviable but unattainable...

"Today, cooperate with Bain to establish our first building."

"Do your best."

Encouraged by Lear, the Vine Fairies perked up immediately.

Each one thumped their chest in assurance to him.

"Father God~ I can make the Starry Sky Vine grow very quickly~ You will definitely be pleased!"

"Father God, Father God, I can make them grow very strong, stronger than anyone else’s!"

"Father God... Um... Um, me too!"

Looking at these adorable little ones, Lear burst into laughter.

He praised them repeatedly, making all the Vine Fairies happily go off to build with Bain.

This Mud Swamp Person was truly an Artisan Hero.

Immediately, Bain recruited twenty people from the Mud Swamp People, took out a blueprint, and began instructing carefully.

Then, he earnestly directed the Vine Fairies to plant Starry Sky Vines at each point.

Entering the working state, his face was all serious and focused, his demeanor significantly changed, losing the usual cautiousness of the Mud Swamp People.

It was said to be planting, but it was also quite magical.

The Vine Fairies broke off segments of the vine from the Starry Sky Vine, and planted them into the ground.

Then they emitted a faint starlight from their bodies, shining onto the vines.

In the next instant, the vines seemed to fast-forward dozens of times, rooting and sprouting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, they grew into a small clump of vines.

With the sixteen Vine Fairies weaving back and forth, within less than half an hour, all the points Bain had marked were planted with vines.

Seeing this scene, Lear also became interested.

Bain didn’t intend to use the existing vines to weave a house, but to use the power of the Vine Fairies to grow a building directly from the vines.

Thus, this building, with the presence of the Vine Fairies, could be constantly adjusted and expanded.

If it’s unsuitable, it can be reconfigured.

In this way, it fully utilized the strengths of the Starry Sky Vine and Vine Fairies.

Not bad, very not bad.

The only drawback of doing so might be that it consumes the Vine Fairies quite a bit.

These little ones worked through the morning, sweating profusely.

Accelerating the cultivation of the Starry Sky Vines was quite a consumption.

Fortunately, Vine Fairies don’t need to consume food, their energy source is the Starry Sky Vines themselves.

By noon, under the scorching sun, the Vine Fairies burrowed into the vines for a good nap, and in the afternoon, when they woke up, they had already recovered and continued to use their Grow Fast and Big skills.

Under their cultivation, the Starry Sky Vine was growing at an exaggerated speed.

At this rate, perhaps by the end of this month, a magnificent building could rise from the ground.

Moreover, this building was a living entity.

Even if enemies invaded, the Vine Fairies could control it to resist the enemies.

Where to find such perfection to reason with... It’s perfect!
