The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee-Chapter 392 - Planning the Dragon Stable
Chapter 392 – Planning the Dragon Stable
We all watched Timi silently jump into the magic portal.
After about 20 seconds, the circle lit up again and Timi returned.
「ryaa ryaa」
Shiggy jumped out of my pouch and flew over to her.
She was happily wagging her tail. Just that alone makes you relax.
I bet she was happy Timi was back.
「Phew, well that’s over. Did you miss your Aunt Timi, Shiggy?」
「ryaaa」
She hugged onto Shiggy and patted her head.
「Timi, we’re glad you’re back safe.」
「What was the other side like?」
「Well, it was definitely a place humans could live.」
「Let me see too then.」
I said, while Vi-Vi asked Timi seriously,
「Was the other side some man-made place?」
「No. I didn’t check everything, but a cavern…or maybe a dungeon?」
「I see…was there a strong feeling enemies are there?」
「No, nothing special like that. I guess I went there and came right back, so maybe there is.」
I thought it over. It was one hour until sundown. I think maybe it’d be better to check out tomorrow.
Even so…if it’s a dungeon or a cavern, you don’t need to worry about sunlight.
No difference between day or night, so no problem.
「Maybe we should check it out.」
「Wait…if there’s no immediate enemy, then we can just leave the portal sealed. We can check it out tomorrow.」
Timi thought a bit and said,
「I think it’s sad to leave Jearl freezing for another night.」
So we sealed the portal and went back to building the stable.
We would have to hurry if we were going to get it done.
After I sealed the portal, I said to everyone,
「There’s little time until sundown, so let’s hurry.」
「Okay!」
「Leave it to me!」
「ryaa ryaa」
Vi-Vi, Timi, and Shiggy all answered.
I looked over the size of the future stable in my mind and marked it on the ground. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
It would be a simple structure. Nothing like my house.
Just four walls and a roof, with a door and maybe some windows.
「Timi takes out the stone and let’s fit them to suit the stable.」
「Understood.」
「I’ll line them up, so you put mortar on them, Vi-Vi.」
「Leave it to me!」
I took everything out of my magic bag and laid it out, and Vi-Vi said,
「Looks like she gave us more than enough mortar.」
「Yeah, it’s really helpful.」
Nothing changes after being put in my magic bag. You could slap the mortar right on and not have to remix it.
Because of that, we really appreciated Vallimie.
It made the process much faster.
「When did Vallimie mix this mortar up?」
「Maybe while we were writing a magic circle for her storehouse?」
I lined up the stones that Timi had cut into small bricks.
Vi-Vi then applied the mortar. Then we lined them up on top of the previous line.
「You cut these very well, Timi.」
「You think? I’m glad then.」
Timi had cut the stone to perfect size.
About half the size of a human.
Also she cut little indentations so they fit into each other easily.
If you put them together, you could stack the blocks without them falling over.
「Shiggy, you can cut blocks easily with this magic!」
「ryaaa!」
Shiggy was on Timi’s head, watching her work.
「Alra, are blocks like this safe?」
「Yeah, just stacking them seems to take up time.」
「I’m glad you can use that gravity magic, because there’s no way I could lift any of these up!」
After talking about that, we moved the blocks around and finished the job.
I had experience from making my house, the wolf house, the storage house, and so on.
I was used to it actually, so it seemed like I took a breath and was done.
「Let me show you my power by doing the roof.」
「Okay.」
「Shiggy. You’re aunt’s going to do something great!」
「ryaa!」
Shiggy was really excited, so Timi looked at us proudly.
Timi fused together a massive stone plank for the roof.
She used magic to heat and bend it into an arch.
「Can you lift it onto the stable?」
「Sure. Leave it to me.」
I lifted the roof with gravity magic. Timi jumped on and from the roof, reached down and applied some mortar to it.
The roof was finished quite quickly.
「Looks good!」
「Impressive we could finish it that quickly.」
「Now to write the magic circles!」
I was looking the stable over when I heard a voice behind me.
「Whoaaa….」
I saw Belda standing there, surprised.
