In a situation where everything was not yet prepared, Davey was already being efficient by utilizing the power of intermediate-level spirits and not the power of a Spirit King. However, based on his own judgment, moving the lake water and changing its terrain would give them a huge drawback if they chose to use an ordinary spirit’s power.

“At this rate, everything should be done in a month.”

—Summoning Spirit Kings and forcing them to do hard labor is unheard of. To think that you’re actually making it happen.

Speaking gently, Perserque handed Davey a bottle of mana potion with practiced ease. It had become a natural thing for her to periodically monitor Davey’s condition and mana, then hand over enough mana potion to supply the amount that he had consumed.

—I’m telling you that converting simple mana to spirit mana is not usually easy to do.

“That’s the first thing that I learned.”

Davey could do it as naturally as breathing now. In his case, he could convert other mana into spirit mana. So, for him, even a basic mana potion could become spirit mana.

This was also the most efficient method to make the Spirit Kings, existences who had poor fuel efficiency, work hard and do labor for a long time.

[Hey… Look, I’m obviously a king who governs nature, a Spirit King. How long do I have to do this pathetic work?]

[Give it up, Ellaim. It would be a lot easier for you.]

Gnoass, who saw Ellaim approach Davey with a look of complete and utter annoyance, created a replica of himself to speak to her calmly.

[Don’t you have any pride left in that body of yours?! Ha! It seems like the prideful and arrogant Gnoass that I know has died!]

[That’s because you don’t know how much of a lunatic our contractor is yet.]

“A lunatic? I believe you’re talking too much, Gnoass.”

[Please excuse me. Let me correct that. You’re a psycho.]

It was not an easy feat to create a dam on a huge flat land. They had to create a place where they could trap the water and stack enough architectural structures to support it. Of course, no matter how talented the dwarves were, they would still take a very long time to accomplish such a feat.

That was the reason why Davey was leaving the construction work to Gnoass.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!!!

“Ooooh!!! The ground is alive!!!”

As if alive, the ground flipped itself over, mixed itself evenly, and spat out the impurities that had been mixed among them. Then, they began forming huge structures by themselves. The moment the loose soil hardened into the shape that it was intended to be, the dwarves charged in to start on the more detailed and elaborate work.

Davey appointed the skeletons to work on the smaller and more dangerous things, since their fuel efficiency was the highest. After all, he only had to invest a bit of mana in them before they would stand up and move. They could even do that even if their bodies had been crushed a few moments prior.

Obviously, from the perspective of someone who was merely watching from the sidelines, this was a ridiculously absurd and foolish construction method. This was a never-before-seen method wherein it could cut down years of construction and finish it in a short period of time.

Most of the construction process was still handled and managed by the dwarves. Under their careful hands and with their vast professional knowledge, breathtakingly beautiful architecture began to rise from the lake and its surrounding fields. The architectural structure was tall enough to go beyond any human’s reach.

Whenever his spirit mana was exhausted from working the Spirit Kings to the bones, Davey would drink some mana potions to replenish his mana. It was not that hard to work the Spirit Kings hard without any breaks, since it was just a matter of replenishing his lack of spirit mana, mana, and his mental fortitude.

Three days after the start of the construction, while Davey was busy watching the completely different construction site with Tanya, who always trailed behind him, he found out that the most efficient workers were the skeletons. Of course, there were also laborers from the criminal organizations Black Bird and Jackal that they had caught. However, how much work could a living person with ordinary physical strength do, right?

“Is it…alright to leave those people alone? Brother?”

“Those bastards deserve to die.”

“But still…”

Were these bastards pitiful for being treated inhumanely and forced to do hard labor? Of course not. However, Tanya mumbled like she was sympathetic with them.

“Tanya.”

“Yes, Brother?”

“Those who should be punished must receive their punishment.”

“I know that, but…”

These criminals would always rush toward Davey as if they were possessed, begging for his leniency whenever they saw him. This was even after they were already suffering from the harshness of labor.

They wanted Davey’s forgiveness or for him to just kill them. However, Davey only gave them the same answer every time: I do not intend to listen to any of your opinions.

Assembly Member Harleen and Judge Merdein had both been beheaded outside of the territory after Davey had made sure that they were guilty. It was a surprise that many people had come to watch their beheading. After all, these were two people who had betrayed the trust of the citizens of Davey’s territory.

Even to their final breaths, Assembly Member Harleen and Judge Merdein had begged Davey to spare their lives and forgive their sins. However, it was not Davey whom they had to beg for forgiveness from in the first place. It was the citizens of the territory. The very citizens who they had betrayed the trust of.

“If my brother says so…” Tanya said as she stepped down, no longer raising any objections to Davey’s method. Then, she slowly approached Davey and rubbed his shoulders. She commented, “Your shoulders are quite stiff, Brother.”

“Is that so?”

“Fufu… The person who told me that my muscles were stiff is the very same person who does not care about his body at all. Let me massage you,” Tanya said as she squeezed Davey’s shoulders with her small hands. “Does it feel relaxing?”

“It’s fine already.”

“I’m doing this because I enjoy it. Besides, this is all I can do for you after you’ve brought me all the way here, Brother. But…”

“I’m only taking care of you temporarily. You’re staying here right now, but you’re returning to the royal palace once things have stabilized.”

“But I like it here. I want to stay here with you, Big Brother.”

“You’re at a marriageable age. If you stick to me every day like that, then you will miss all of the good groom candidates.”

Tanya chuckled at Davey’s joke. “I still have a lot to learn from you, Brother.”

Tanya was talking about archery.

“Besides, I’m not too sure about that right now. If possible… I don’t want to get married any time soon.”

Even if Tanya did not mention that, Davey would never have forced her to marry either. Although he had interfered and canceled the marriage while they had been in the middle of its preparation, Tanya was still a young girl of sixteen.

By modern Earth’s standards, Tanya was at an age where she was still supposed to be a hardworking student in school.

Davey looked at his sister smiling so happily, wondering what had happened. In the past, his sister would act timid and shy in front of him, but she had changed over time. Although, her elegance and gracefulness remained the same. Davey welcomed this change in her.

“Your Highness.”

Davey could not take his own sweet time while watching the rapidly changing view of the construction site. The two Spirit Kings were discussing with the dwarves how they would proceed with the construction, but it was Davey who put in the immense effort of maintaining them.

“We have confirmed that there are still a total of three victims, two humans and one elf, that have not yet been sent home,” reported Monmider, the Captain of the guards.

“…”

“From what we could tell…they have already left the territory’s premises… Forgive us, Your Highness.”

“Did those bastards open their mouths to talk?”

“No matter how hard we torture them, it’s very hard to get information from the members of the dark organizations. We’re sure that they have already cut their tails off. And once those victims have been sold off…”

Davey nodded after listening to Monmider’s report. It would be very hard for them to find these people once they have left the territory, since their traces would disappear once outside. And Davey could not really put tracking magic on each and every single one of the citizens of his territory right now. If they were being realistic, it was safe to say that they could never find these three ever again. However…

“That’s not good.”

Turning pale at Davey’s comment, Monmider hurriedly bowed his head and shouted, “Pl-Please kill me!!!”

Davey would really kill the other person if they asked him to kill them. He stared at Monmider silently before opening his mouth and saying, “Do you know why the humans and the elves have fought?”

“That…”

“It’s because of the slave hunt. Elves are beings who naturally have flawlessly clear skin and soft features. And humans tend to favor and swarm toward mysterious beauties, whether they are male or female.”

There was no way that greedy humans would have let an elf with a very likable and favored appearance go.

With his eyes still closed, Davey slowly stood up from his seat. He said, “But in my territory, the place where I brought those elves back to the world, an elf has been captured and sold as a slave…”

“Your… Your Highness…”

“There will be guests in the afternoon. Make sure to watch the surroundings.”

“Gu… Guests, Your Highness?”

“That’s right,” Davey answered quietly as he dropped the expression on his face.

White birds would be distinguished and detected by the same white birds while black birds would be distinguished by black birds. The laws of these dark organizations? Davey did not know about that, since there were no traces left of those mighty dark organizations in his territory anymore. Still, he could check whether they had connected a line somewhere in secret.
