The Abandoned Prince With The Otherworldly Shopping System

Chapter 87: Remaking A City



Luke had bid farewell to Zoey directly. Knowing he would not be returning to his own city for at least two or three weeks, he had given his wife a big kiss and then leapt onto the back of the Ancient Dragon Shenhal, setting off directly for the Duchy of Wirgo.

Luke had brought his own region up to a sufficient level, yet the reality of war demanded that many efforts be made to strengthen other areas, at least those directly facing danger.

This meant expanding the Duchy of Wirgo, already the size of a royal capital, to the point where it could be transformed into a kingdom in its own right.

Although... Wirgo's location already ensured that the duchy was the size of a kingdom. After all, an area with a three-thousand-kilometre radius was naturally a vast place.

The Ancient Dragon reappeared over Esphia, the city of the Duchy of Wirgo, and landed where it had previously been.

Luke was greeted by the soldiers of the north, who now respected him even more, and was then taken to the duchy's mansion.

"Luke!" said Crystal, Zoey's second sister.

'Sup, Crystal?" replied Luke, naturally seeing Crystal as his own sister.

"Nothing much... We weren't expecting you, not yet, at least. Honestly, father isn't even here," said Crystal.

When Luke heard these words, his brow furrowed.

"Where did father go?" he asked suddenly.

"To the capital. For the annual duchy meeting," replied Crystal.

The Annual Duchy Meeting.

It was a meeting where the leaders of the five duchies gathered and shared detailed reports on every important matter that had occurred up to that month, holding discussions aimed at working for the future and welfare of the empire.

It was usually held at the end of the year, but this year the meeting had started much earlier than necessary. The fact that the meeting had begun before the end of April truly demonstrated the seriousness of the situation.

More accurately, he was certain that Luke's actions had a significant impact on the seriousness of the matter.

After all, the large shipment of mythril, the secondary economic development, the founding of a new city, the marriage of the Imperial Prince to Wirgo's Princess, the presence of the Ancient Dragon Shenhal, the renewal of the northern walls and their connection to the mountains, and much more were all things Luke himself had done.

Of course, this also demonstrated the seriousness and strangeness of the situation.

"I understand... Then we must continue under our mother's leadership," Luke said, not forgetting to emphasise Hannah Wirgo's presence.

"Don't you want to rest?" Crystal asked with great curiosity.

"I'd rather draw sketches instead, sis," Luke replied, and under Crystal's leadership, they entered the Wirgo Mansion.

Almost an hour after entering the mansion, Hannah had already come to join them. While waiting, Luke had already begun examining dozens of sketches and the boundaries of the land owned by the Wiego family.

Based on the boundaries he had examined, the necessary procedures had already begun, such as modifying the sketches he had and the houses owned by people in the area.

"What do you think about building houses with two floors each?" Luke asked with great curiosity.

"If they are to be private detached houses, it is not unreasonable, but we must consider the military and other areas. Everyone in the north is a warrior, Luke; living together is their choice," Hannah had said.

Luke had indeed overlooked this detail.

Therefore, the house plans and subsequently the road plans began to change from start to finish.

Luke's job had been easy ever since he learned that he could carve on the templates he obtained from the Moon Stones shop panel, which he used especially on the roads.

First, he had corrected the moon stones themselves and carved Wirgo's emblem and Hiera's emblem onto the stones, showing Hannah a sample moon stone.

It didn't take long for her to approve.

With that, construction began immediately, starting with the mansion.

The structure Luke had used in the Great City, Selene, was employed here as well, and work commenced.

The work in this HUGE city would take much less time because Luke did not have a hundred elves at his command, but tens of thousands of people who knew incredibly well what they were doing.

The areas were dug up, and roads were started to be built, supported by magic to bear the weight of the buildings, right up to the edges of the buildings without damaging them.

In just one day, Luke had spent over fifteen thousand gold pieces, and this expenditure was only to complete the roads for one-third of the city.

In one day, this entire area had been completed.

The next day, Luke gave an order. This order was to remove and store everything of value found inside the Wirgo Manor.

Hundreds of thousands of years of documents, portraits, swords, shields, armour, and much more were taken out and stored in over seven hundred spell bags.

After that, Luke's first action was to alter the Wirgo Manor and place a new manor in the same location.

Of course, this manor would have its own automatic water centres. Luke absolutely had to build a water reservoir for the Wirgo family and the city of Esphia, just as he had done in his own city.

Still, the priority was to alter every single house.

With the order given to the public, every house within the first thousand kilometres of this city, which had a radius of three thousand kilometres, began to be renovated one by one and converted into three-storey houses with the revised blueprints following discussions.

This took exactly three days.

Meanwhile, roads were built within a two-thousand-kilometre radius of the city and extended up to three thousand kilometres.

Within a week, Luke managed to transform a significant four hundred thousand buildings, sleeping only two hours a day.

Now, Luke's task was to establish a large water reservoir to ensure the city could function directly.

Luke took nearly three hundred earth mages with him and walked to a point in the middle of the nearby mountain range.

Just as he had done in his own city, once he had built the water reservoir and filled it with water, it was time to rest.

It was clear how exhausted he was after sleeping for a whole day.

Still, there was work to be done.
