Cheater: Second Sky Adventure

68. Ditches.

Jack approaches and gives his spatial ring to Leo.

"this sir! Inside was quite a valuable monster material."

Leo received the ring and checked the contents.

Upon seeing the contents of the ring, Leo became very surprised. Because it's not just material for weapons. But there are some plant materials for medicine in large quantities.

"it's too much! Why did you give it to me? If you sell it, even the results can be to survive for a few years without working."

Jack laughed a little and scratched his non-itchy head.

"i just think if you need that more for the capital of this city. So I gave it to you. After all, as long as I'm still working for you, I'll also get a salary right?"

Leo was a little moved by Jack's actions.

"thank you! But for your salary, I owe you first! I'll pay in full when I'm done building the city!"

"haha... Sure sir!"

Leo felt very happy to have Jack as his subordinate. It was rare for one to be so considerate of his master as Jack and the others.

"in that case, how was the wall built?"

Jack invites Leo to see the planning of the wall construction.

It is seen that the workers have already started the construction. All the materials were ready and they started by building the city gates.

"in the first construction, we immediately made the gate first. Its size was large enough to deter some large monsters. But of course it will not be able to withstand the attack from a high-endurance monster."

Jack then invites Leo to see the direction of the construction of the wall he plans.

Until they reach the waterway.

"this river is quite large and also swift. So I plan to build a moat around the wall. And also definitely a bridge that adventurers can use."

Leo thought about the influence of his city for adventurers. Until he had some ideas to get some benefits.

" what if we use a bridge that can be lifted. So the security of the city from monster attacks will be guaranteed. And in order to access the bridge, the adventurers had to pay a usage fee."

Leo explains the idea to Jack and Brock. For a moment they considered the idea. Jack looked at Brock, who agreed.

" well! I agree with your proposal. Meaning, we have to build a trench first to keep the workers safe!"

They agree with Jack's plan. Building a trench could prevent a monster attack directly. Even without the need to take care.

But as the workers had already started building the gates, Leo decided to tackle the trench problem alone.

"for the trench, let me take care of it. Just give me the line! I'll make it now."

Leo asked for a path from the construction of the city wall and a path from the river.

"in that case, I'll get you a copy of the map."

Jack went to where he was planning the city.

Meanwhile, Leo thought about the idea he had thought of earlier.

'a city cannot thrive if it does not have enough income. So I'll be making a business soon! Hehe...'

Jack returns and sees Leo grinning alone.

"Brocks! Master why?"

Brock shrugged his shoulders to let him know if he didn't know either.

Jack approaches to awaken Leo. But before he acted, Leo immediately turned around and extended his hand.

"where?"

Jack was surprised Leo had already noticed his presence.

"ajahhahhh please!" Jack gave me a map. A copy of the city wall project.

"alright, you take care of those workers! I'll take care of this soon!"

Leo leaves in front of Jack and Brock. Jack and Brock return to do their job.

On Leo's side, he goes by jumping from tree to tree quickly. If people saw him they would probably consider him a monkey and leave him alone.

By holding a plan paper for the construction of the wall, he traced each location as shown on the map.

Until he got to the location fell out of the construction plan.

Leo landed very smoothly. He then checked around and checked if there were any monsters or not.

"it looks like this is a safe area. I'd better start here."

Leo immediately stored the map back into the spatial ring. Then he started using his earth magic.

He concentrated on controlling mana. The mana flow until it reaches the outside of the Leo body.

His body started to emit light and slowly the ground around Leo started to tremble.

The ground vibration gets stronger until it appears to move from the ground.

The magic Leo uses to move the ground causes the ground to move until a basin forms on its surface.

Leo moved slowly nursing the site for the construction of the wall.

Everything went well without any interruptions. Until it was blocked by a very large tree.

"hemm?"

Leo looked up to check the height of the tree.

"big one?"

Leo did not expect that the tree that is not too high has a width of almost three meters.

He approached and examined the type of tree.

"is this not a banyan tree? But why aren't there roots growing?"

Leo was curious about the type of tree that was in front of him.

It is similar to the banyan tree. With very large tree trunks consisting of dozens or even hundreds of sticks that stick together.

But it is very different in terms of the size of the leaves and the twigs.

"hemp.. Nevermind! It doesn't matter if it's a banyan tree or not. I'll just cut it down. This is another world after all. There will be so many new things in this world."

Leo did not care anymore and he immediately dug the tree with earth magic so as not to make it fall apart.

He dug to find the root tip but not for long. He was able to dig it up to make the tree collapse.

" i didn't know this tree had short roots!"

It is appropriate to move the tree by moving the ground surface to where the trench will not be built in that place.

After that he continued to make a trench until the afternoon.

Seeing that the sun was low enough, he checked the map again to see the results of his work.

"hemm.still halfway. But it'll be dark soon. I'd better finish it tomorrow."

He decided to return to the city.

Until the city, he was greeted by Phinix who had been from noon waiting for Leo's arrival.

"welcome back sir. I have prepared your food."

Phinix showed me a table full of food.

Leo is quite happy to get a welcome and has been prepared for himself to eat. Even though the amount of food for him was too much.

"Next time, no need to prepare food for me. I'll take it myself. Moreover, the amount of food you prepared was too much for my stomach to hold."
