Chapter 1073 The Problem With The Staff


    This girl… She was just sopetitive! She knew that drawing theyout wasn’t a problem, but delivering it was. She was travelling on foot, and that meant she’d take a long time to reach me and the same to return back to her forces.


    So she thought about delivering the drawings to one of her men before hurrying after Lucas.


    I held the drawings in hand and started reading them.


    From my past experience in dealing withplicated drawings and blueprints, this one seemed much simpler.


    “She… Got to be kidding me!” I finished looking at all the drawings and couldn’t help butment my bad luck. “This is all childish drawing! Doesn’t she know how to draw or what?!!”


    What I saw wasn’t that much different from a ten years old kid drawing on a piece of paper. The lines were erratic, the drawings looked too simple than they should be.


    Well… putting that aside, at least there was a general direction I could follow. To be honest, forgetting about the quality of drawing, she designed the city in a good way.


    “Time to build roads and buildings inside,” I moved my eyes towards the grand open space lined inside mynd before starting to work again.


    In fact this task that looked much easier than building walls brick by brick proved to be otherwise. I had to carefully check the childish drawing from time to time, and eventually had to run my imagination wild toplete the task in hand.


    Things weren’t that easy when considering a small mistake would ruin the entire grandyout of my base.


    I knew mynd would grow up eventually, and Loran also knew. So she kept part of the designs forter development as well.


    I couldn’t tug into the areas outside mynd borders for now. So all I could do was to just develop the parts under my control.


    Districts appeared, training camps were built, defensive towers in various sizes and types were formed.


    Unlucky for me, Loran designed everything based on her past experience. So she selected the most basic andmon forms of buildings and defensive structures to n out my city.


    While I was using the highest form possible to build my city. And that soon created some sort of distortion than the initialyout.


    “Sigh! I have to consider this as a grander design for much vasternd,” at the middle of this, I had to give in trying to amend her designs to match what I was building.


    Take the training ground I just built on the eastern side of my city. It was supposed to be built from rocks that spanned for half a metre square.


    But when I used my own way to build it, the size swelled up by five folds! That made the initial size of this training camp that was supposed to cover five miles square to cover up to twenty-five!


    Not to mention adding the grander form of the towers and defensive drills here made it much bigger than that!


    And that wasn’t an exception. It kept repeating at other various buildings I wasying out. And yet, knowing that I was going to mess with what she drew for me, I kept doing it non-stop.


    I aimed for power and hegemony. Layouts were just a guidance, nothing more. I kept following the grand design and eventually, what she nned to be situated inside the city of mine was only done by less than twenty percent!


    As I thought midway, I had to deal with these designs as designs for my future and huger city.


    Just as I was working on the western zone, thest part still unbuilt in my city, I suddenly spotted a fog of orange fire howling towards me from far.


    Four days already passed since the departure of Lucas and Loran. I didn’t expect to see him so soon. I estimated that he’d take one week beforeing to see me.


    “Lord,” as hended on my chariot, I just waved my right arm while my left kept controlling the technique.


    I was building a grand club ce, where my people coulde and run, enjoy various sports if they liked, and also keep their physique in top shape while using the gymnasium.


    I was surprised that Loran left behind such a buildingyout, and was even more surprised to discover that there was a technique used to build such a thing.


    Well, it seemed various races and civilisations shared parts of theirmon things, like the club here.


    “Are you done?” I asked without turning my head to him.


    “Lord, we managed to seize twenty lords’nds,” Lucas paused before adding, “we left part of our armies behind to secure them from any greedy lord nearby. But like this we can’t progress any further.”


    “I see,” I got what he wanted to say. Stretching out my right arm, I demanded, “give me the staff. We’ll head there once I’m done with this.”


    The building process was almost done. All I needed was to wait for ten minutes and such a grand club that spanned over a hundred square miles would be finished.


    “I stored up the locations of the twenty ces there. Here, lord can check.”


    I grabbed the staff before I frowned. I couldn’t help but turn to him and ask in serious manner:


    “Are you sure you saved them? There are no new entries there at the saved bookmarks.”


    This was indeed a surprise. I always thought Lucas was capable and trustworthy. Yet he seemed to mess up at such conjecture.


    Without saving bookmarks, then I’d have to spend more time covering up the areas they conquered. And with this, I’d end up having lessnd to absorb than what I initially hoped for.


    “This… Ah, I forgot about it,” I heard the sound of someone pping his hand. Was it his face? Or his forehead?


    “What?” I urged, “what happened?”


    “It’s just… When I got the staff from lord and checked the saved bookmarks, I couldn’t find a single saved thing there.”
