"This should be enough." Tristan took a step back while looking at the long rod that he had just embedded with runes.
Because of the attack, the rod itself was carried by Roel''s children. And Tristan''s job was to draw the runes while ensuring that nothing went wrong with the runes.
Now that he had finished, Tristan emerged from the room, finding Felicia and Duke Lorelei waiting outside. No, if he took another look, there were also Rick and Rica a bit further away with several workers.
"Thankfully, I''vepleted it. We can test it right now, Duke." Tristan smiled.
"Is that so?" Duke Lorelei nodded.
The twins immediately signaled the workers to get going.
"We''ll test it immediately." Rick suddenly approached them while extending his hand. "If you''d like to see it personally, please follow us, Duke."
"Sure." Duke Lorelei nodded.
They were walking toward the mansion, specifically the water storage that was located right behind the mansion.
It appeared that Duke Lorelei had actually prepared a lot of things. Even the well had been covered with a small building. There was a pipeing out of the roof and stretching toward the facility so that the road wasn''t blocked.
The rod itself was in pieces previously. Hence, when they entered the small building, they started assembling it one after another, gradually lowering it to match the depth of the well.
It took a while, but ultimately, they finished. Thest step would be fueling the pump with demon crystals.
Duke Lorelei was holding two low quality demon crystals.
"Please." Tristan pointed at the small holes.
Duke Lorelei nodded. He inserted the demon crystals into the hole, which activated the runes. A few months had passed since the technology had been created. The design had actually been improved.
The current design allowed them to actually put the demon crystals on the surface instead of lowering it down with another rod. Instead, they were using a tube that could iste the demon crystals inside. This way, the demon crystal would be filling up that tube, even if it meant flowing down to the bottom.
Of course, there were two ways of knowing whether it was activated or not. The first one was to touch the pipe and feel the flow inside. The second was an option that the Duke chose. It was to add a Light Rune to the top part. If there was no more spiritual energy inside the tube, the Light Rune wouldn''t produce any light. This way, it would be easier for maintenance.
Now that the Light Rune had been activated, the water from the well began to flow up. The Duke could feel the flow of the water, but just to be sure, he exited the building and jumped to the top of the water storage.
He opened the giant lid casually and saw water gushing out of the hole, gradually filling the storage.
"This is…" The Duke raised his eyebrows.
There were a lot of citizens looking at the Duke. They gathered here because they knew the Duke was holding a test today.
Tristan and Felicia reached the top of the storage with their Floating Rune.
Once Tristan confirmed that everything worked perfectly, he said with a smile, "We''ll just have to wait for half a day to fill up the storage. Now, everyone can simply open the valve and get all the water they need. Congrattions, Duke."
"Hahahaha." The Dukeughed, startling everyone. There was one unfortunate thing in this city.
Because the city was built a hundred years ago, it was hard to actually renovate the citypletely, such as by building water pipes and all the other details that could make the water storage 100% effective.
However, this achievement alone should be enough to make living in this ce much easier.
The Duke couldn''t help but ask, "I wonder if there is something that can carry a huge amount of water."
"A huge amount of water?" Tristan tilted his head in confusion.
"Indeed. Tell your master that if he has a technology or at least a type of carriage that can carry a huge amount of water and distribute it to the city, I''ll be the first customer."
"!!!" Tristan widened his eyes in shock. Although the purpose was different, the Duke actually came up with the same idea as his teacher.
Noel wanted a truck that could bring a lot of water. While his city already had a perfect water system, other cities might not have. If they could simply bring a lot of water from one ce to another, it could be treated as a relief.
Yes, for a vige or city that had just faced a disaster such as famine or drought, getting a huge supply of water would be extremely beneficial. In fact, it could also be used as water storage for an expedition so that they didn''t have to search for rivers during an expedition anymore.
Andst but not least, Noel had even used another rune to generate enough pressure to shoot this water. Normally, people had to work together and bring a lot of buckets to suppress a house fire, but with this truck, it would be much easier.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
On the other hand, the Duke actually understood the limitations of his city. In the end, his citizens still needed toe to the water storage to gather water.
That was why he was thinking about the water truck that could bring all this water to every corner of his city.
Unfortunately, this was still a secret. He could only say, "I understand. I''ll forward your request to my teacher."
"No need. Your expression still showed it. It seems that your teacher hase up with the same idea or has even begun producing it. But not yet publicizing it, huh? Is he nning to wait until you are done with this trip? A lot of nobles should be able to see through this type of problem, so he''ll start offering that solution.
I almost forgot that his father was an excellent businessman… How rich is he nning to be?" Duke Lorelei shook his head in defeat.
Tristan smiled wryly.
Little did he know, it was just the surface of Noel''s n. Meanwhile, the aforementioned person had just concluded a deal with thepany that handled the protective screen and had made a huge order.
And there was one more n that was working in the shadows. It was none other than the second prince of the Atracaeca Kingdom.
