Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Two weeks later, in front of the south gate of Cilentium.

Spread before Hal and Altrius is a double waterway through the south of Cilentium.

All have a peek at the marble shore and the bottom surface solidified with clay, with no water passing through.

"Finally!

'Um, I'm looking forward to it.

"It must be very powerful.

"Looking forward to it!

Quintus can also flaunt his face when he sees four innocent smiles like a child with a toy in front of him: Hal, Altrius, Erlacia, and Maple.

Lucius and Primia were absent by saying they had business.

Quintus put together a solid Imperial soldier while Adamantius was gone.

While in the unfavourable position of being part of the former Boreus squad, he has put the soldiers together with his natural seriousness and smartness and has done his best to defend Cilentium strongholds and open waterways.

Sittius had administrative work to do and remained in the administration, and his boss Adamantius was still in the northern barracks, so Quintus was supposed to be present as commander at the waterways and moats designed and built by the Imperial soldiers of Cilentium.

And because the emigration of veterans is progressing smoothly and the demand for civil engineers, architects, designers and surveyors has been met, it has been decided that the Imperial Soldiers will return to their original duties once today's watering ceremony is over.

"Thank you, it's going to be watertight soon, take a good look at the fruits of our efforts... ok, cut the wetland weir!!

By Quintus' decree, when the imperial soldiers who were beside him fly the red flag, eight flags are flown west from the south gate of Cilentium.

And the last time the flag was flown was a simple weir set at the northeast end of a wetland stretching southwest of Cilentium.

Once destroyed in the Battle of Silentium Cage Castle, but then rebuilt and ever supporting the waters of the wetlands, the weir is knocked down by piles at the hands of the powerful Cliffonam farmers who now waited late for the flag to fly.

At that moment the water, which had been accumulating in the wetlands for many years, made more noise, breaking the weir and bursting out into a brand new waterway.

The water goes down the waterway as it bubbles white, passing through Hal's eyes scattering fine shavings.

And he ran down for the Ereil River tributary in the far northeast direction.

"Yay... success!

"Wow...!

"Now you've got a separation..."

To the words of Hal and Maple and Erlacia, Altrius opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

"Shall we rejoice yet? There's another waterway left.

"Right, let's keep up with your expectations... open the North Watergate!

Quintus, smiling and nodding at Altrius' words, calls out to the imperial soldiers who were beside him.

The Imperial Soldier, smiling as he saw how Hal and the others were doing, now waved the blue-colored flag vigorously.

Immediately twelve flags are raised one after the other from the south gate through the city of Cilentium towards the watergate of the pond set on the north platform, and water begins to release like a waterfall from the southern edge of the earth, where the blue flag was last reached.

The fallen water reached Cilentium through the waterway, slowly filling the moat in a deep and wide moat worn around it, and before much had passed.

The water overflowing from the moat moisturizes the agricultural land from the waterway on the northeast side of Cilentium along the northern plateau and pours it into the Ereil River tributary.

The moat was also filled with water, which remained incomplete in the battle of Cilentium Cage Castle, but was then dried up to carry out the renovation, welcoming today's water supply after a thorough rebuilding of the bottom and walls of the waterway.

"Border Guardian Which, for the waterways, moats, and streets you have ordained, the construction has been completed without delay. All you have to do is get the peasants to do their best.

"I can't wait for spring.

"Uhm, plus now Cilentium is not only a castle wall but also a fortified city surrounded by double moats, the enemy will have a hard time approaching Cilentium. There was another idea that I couldn't achieve. Thank you, Haruyoshi.

When Hal nodded and said to Quintus' words, Altrius replied happily.

A few more days later, the Cilentium administrative district/vacant building

A fifty tangled imperial man shouts his admiration, guided from Hull to the corner of a four-story building.

"Wow... this is another stunning decoration that blends imperial technology with the culture of the Northern nations!

"Unfortunately, this is just a renovation of an old building, not a new building, but large enough. It's the ground floor and the upstairs part for you to use, how about here?

"Perfect, let's just say we install a transmission stone quickly.

Said Manius Crusol, who nodded satisfactorily at Hull's explanation before becoming the man, director of the Western Postal Association Cilentium and director of the Northern Border District.

At the direction of Crusol, a member of the postal association who was waiting on the table of the building begins to unload the luggage he brought out of the carriage.

Not to mention the dozen transmission stones, their mounting platforms, shelves for letter sorting and office accessories such as special inks for various impressions, hammers for beeswax for sealing, pens and inks, and roughly everything you need for postal equipment.

Less than thirty postal association members will continue their loading operations without delay, and will also be finished equipping them with articles and furniture prepared in Cilentium, such as chairs and desks, without taking much time.

Finally, Kursol placed a brass sign stamped with the letter "Western Postal Association and Cilentium Base Bureau” by the front door.

And I look back at the members of the association and Hull who refrain from doing so behind me, and I proudly proclaim them with a grin.

"With today, the Western Postal Association will officially begin postal operations on the northern periphery. Thank you for doing this in conjunction with your tentative work within the former state of Cliffona Superior.

Titty and the people involved and the wild horse citizens who have gathered applaud.

Sittius also applauded the material with a thriving pinch on his side, but he stopped applauding once he felt it was good, and walked over to Crusol.

"Nice to meet you. Quick, but... where do you think the transmission stone will be installed?

"Right... for now, I'm thinking of installing it in Fradia, the largest town in the North, but other than that, it's still to be determined.

"How many pairs of transmission stones are brought in?

"It's twelve groups. Most importantly, it contains two spare sets, so it's practically possible to install ten pairs.

"I see... can I suggest the installation location here?

"Yeah, if you can look at the likely number of users, you're welcome. However, please note that if it is chosen for military use or political reasons, it will not be accepted.

"Of course, I understand the neutrality of the association, so don't worry. I've put it all together here, please.

Sittius gave one out of his own handheld, and when he pulled out the paper, he gave it to Crusol.

The Village Yi candidate for transmission stone installation proposed by Sittius, described on that paper that Crusol received with interest

Cliffonam's largest town, Fradia, has a population of 50,000.

Chief Bereface's Castle Yife/Population 40,000

Castle of the Almar Heon · Population 10,000

Argentine chief's village Ysenity and population of 10,000

The heart of the Alpesio tribe, the village of Kareek, has a population of 20,000.

Sokanian chief's village, Solkan, population 10,000.

The central village of the Sodersi people, Leniweh, has a population of 20,000.

Colonia Meridieto (Northern Border Post) Population 5,000

in eight locations, carefully filled out to the estimated population.

Leaving room for a rounding crusol and a postal association member, Sittius goes on very calmly with the material further.

"The population is like a rough, not even an approximate estimate that I've determined from the interview, but I think it would be a somewhat indicative one.

It was a crusol that had been in the paper for a while by surprise, but returned to me in the words of Sittius, staring again at the paper.

The only problem is that the installation is in the northern border post, but since this has been an essential relay point for postal interchange with the Imperial State since the beginning, the installation was decided.

The remaining seven designated locations, all cited villages and towns that are the centers of the Cliffonam and Oran tribes, whose proposals were impeccable.

"I see, I'm not talking about Cliffona Superior, does Cilentium already hold half of Cliffonam under its umbrella... no, I'm surprised. Good, as this proposal suggests, we will place the transmission stone and the association members.

"Thank you very much. Please call the administrative office when you go to install it, as I will arrange an escort.

Even in response to a mixed crusol of admiration, Sittius replied so without changing his expression at all, urging Hull to laugh and return to the administration building.

A month later, in front of the Cilentium Administration Building

"... is this the bee's nest?

"That's right. This on the outside is a hive, to be exact, and the bees are building their own so-called hives in this.

"Heh..."

To Hal, who looks intrigued at the crate unloaded from the carriage, the plentiful, fat, loving, forty tangled beekeeper named Fiktor continues his description as he shows the other hive boxes loaded on the carriage together.

The carriage was packed tightly with dozens of crates and securely secured with a rope to avoid falling or falling.

"It's winter now, so the movement isn't active, and it's sealed, so it won't pop up, but it's packed with thousands to tens of thousands of bees in one of these boxes.

"... thousands to tens of thousands..."

Fiktor looked funny when Hal snapped as he glanced at the box that was sealed and couldn't see inside.

"Is this the first time Lord Border Guardian has seen a bee box?

"Yeah, I had bees in my hometown, too, because I didn't do it in this way.

"I guess so, this is from the latest ceremony in the Empire, so there's no reason why you haven't seen it. Well, if you leave it to me, I'll make this land the best honey region in the Empire in three years!

When Fiktor pounded his own heartbeat and confidently said so to Hull, his voice hung from behind.

"I don't have any other competing craftsmen, so I'd love to. Because I want to leave it to you about beekeeping.

"Oh, this is Governor Sittius, it's been a long time. Thank you for inviting me!

Fiktor greets Sittius, who appears unchanged and on the face, with a grinning smile.

Fiktor was from an imperial state where Sittius was once governor, where he also operated beekeeping, but had a history of saving Sittius from being oppressed and dried from other vendors who disliked it, although he had created new methods that were more efficient than traditional methods.

He hired a fictor who was stuck in the flow of funds for public money and was interested in beekeeping under the direct control of the Governor's Office, which led him to income.

It was a fiction that independently re-established beekeeping shortly before Sittius was dismissed from the post of Governor, but it was still ejected from a trade union that hated the new method, even though it was impeccable in terms of production and quality.

Sometimes we had lost the back shield called Sittius, a fiction that was going to run a mobile beekeeping business that would inevitably wander all over the place, but this was the hit and built a cheap fortune.

But there were also families and clans, and mobile beekeeping, which was always at risk of traveling, was never easy, and fiction was looking for a place to settle and run a beekeeping business beside mobile beekeeping.

Sittius moved and ran the beekeeping, so when he contacted his family without looking directly for a fiction where he did not know where he was, he was able to successfully contact the fiction that was just heading to the Imperial City.

Fiktor, who rode without one or two of Sittius' invitations, went straight to Cilentium.

The family should come after us.

"Yeah, nice to meet you. Especially now though I'm the Administrator of this city of Cilentium.

"Yes... I was worried, but I'm glad you found a place to get back to work!

Looking at his heartbeat at the same full grin as before, Sittius says with a bitter smile, Fiktor celebrates Sittius' recurrence with a grin.

"Really, I will take care of you again, but as I said earlier, there are no competing vendors. Please do it fully.

"Okay, I'll prove what I just said wasn't a lie!

Same afternoon, Thermae Cilentiume, drainage water reservoir

"... you want me to show you what I've processed? What are you gonna do with that stuff?

Aquarius returns a strange look at Hull's request.

"Actually, sulfur can be used for commerce.

"Sulphur or commerce? Yeah... it's nothing. It's something I don't need, and either way, I need you to throw it away.

"It helps.

Aquarius didn't understand why he needed anything that was only unnecessary and harmful to him in Hal's explanation, tilting his little neck but returning his heel without saying anything more.

There is no reason to say no if you are going to pick up the unnecessary items.

"Over here, I have a distinction between what I've handled.

When Hull and the others entered the room headed for with Aquarius's guidance, there were three powdered objects placed in piles: yellow, red brown, and gray.

As Hal approached the yellow powder that was the biggest mountain, and Altrius approached the red brown and gray mountains, he simultaneously opened his mouth.

"This is sulfur, isn't it?

"What, isn't this copper and iron?

'It's almost full, so I thought you'd throw it away.

When Aquarius says so, he inserts his hand into the reservoir and stirs several times.

After a while, the drainage water changed from cloudy to clear, and the yellow powdered sulphur was served like a mountain in the hands of Aquarius, which was put out of the water.

'Yes, that's it...

"... you have no words.

Sittius, who came in late, looked further at Aquarius removing iron and copper from the drainage water, crushing with the books and materials in his hands.

I knew the power of the Spirit as knowledge, but I still can't hide my surprise when I see it.

To the mountain of minerals. Divide and add to each of them what is in your hands, then said Aquarius.

'Yes, please, I don't know what you're going to use it for, but I hope you don't sprinkle it around here.

"Okay, then hurry up..."

As Sittius signaled towards the outside, soldiers with empty straw bags came in.

And carefully pack the pile of sulphur in straw bags to carry it out more and more.

The iron and copper that was then piled up were carried out in the same way, and instantly the indoors were cleaned up neatly.

Hurry up and write something down, and Sittius asks Aquarius.

"How long do you accumulate full?

'Well, maybe January... a lot of the time, so it's not true.

"Ok, then once in January, let me do the cleaning as I do now.

After writing busily to the book again, Cittius said, Aquarius smiled and responded, but added one question.

'Yeah, please. And then, I'm also treating sewage, what am I supposed to do with that one?

"Is it sewage? What are you... what are you made of?

Sittius responds as he listens to Aquarius and opens the book again.

"Well, most of it goes back to the soil, but it's probably good for field crops and trees, right? Looks like Altrius used it before.

Altrius, who was turned to, supplements the story with a little difficulty.

"Um, well... it's bad for Aquarius, but they extracted the ingredients from the fecal urine and domestic drainage of sewage. In my lifetime, I experimented with harmonium, and I found that there are a few things that produce good effects when mixed with soil, remember that, Aquarius?

'Well, I can't believe I let you handle human... it was part of the contract, but that was humiliating and...'

'Ugh, um... no.

I have a grudge. Artrius frightened by Aquarius, who says so with his eyes turned.

But Aquarius, who regained his mind, took over the words with a sigh.

'I know the rules, I'll save the same, so come and get them ourselves.

"... I'm sorry.

"Can I borrow this?

To Altrius, who apologized. When Aquarius said in a good mood that he was good at defying his chest, Sittius punched him in the hand.

"Hmm, I see, it's commonly known how to use cow and chicken manure as fertilizer, but I didn't know you were going to use human stuff, which was a blind spot. The plague, the parasites, the odors and the mood problems that accompany them are also solved, Aquarius, if any of them will handle it. This is good! You should definitely add a sewage treatment contract with the Spirit to your forthcoming Empire's urban planning outline!

As Sittius said so, he nodded loudly and again, exposing himself to the book he had taken out. Sometimes the writing flourished, Aquarius heard the words, staring Sittius in a triangulated eye and shouting low.

"You... are willing to make us sign a contract to process human un o!?

"Shouldn't you?

"Hih, don't be too harsh... I doubt your humanity!

To Sittius, who answered firmly, Aquarius screamed.
