The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Chapter 155

Swordmaster Sir Belross was much more famous than Davey had thought. According to Yulis, who had returned after his meeting at the Red Tower, the old man was so outstanding in the eastern continent that everyone knew stories about him when he was younger. The friendliness of a man like that was not bad at all. Not only that, but all the other knights were also old masters of turning the tables who were famous. Davey felt a little overwhelmed as they were all showing their friendliness to him at once.

-Considering this, shouldn’t you have been more overwhelmed by the friendliness of the heroes that taught you?

As Perserque giggled and asked while pulling on his cheeks, Davey began to think.

“Those people were... How should I put it...”

‘They really didn’t seem like almighty heroes that dominated an era...’

“They just feel like stupid neighborhood friends.”

‘Although they weren’t friends if he considered their actual age.’

“Now I can finally focus on the Heins Territory while the kingdom goes back to order.”

Davey had to see it to the end if he started. At last, the dwarves, including Elder Goulda, had finished the huge construction project they had been working on since they came to the territory.

“Though all we did was fix the problem of the living space.”

-Normally, it should’ve taken an astronomically large amount of money.

It was true; if it wasn’t for the dwarves’ unique know-how and techniques, it would have taken much longer and been lacking in stability as well.

“Then, now... It’s time to use this.”

‘Start with the simple things.’

Davey put a finger-sized magic stone that he crafted onto the table and spun it. It was the prototype magic stone that he had made with the Red Moon from the Lyndis Empire. Of course, the power would be less than the fist-sized magic stone he found before... But even one this big was bigger than the extremely rare magic stones found on the continent.

This meant that this small continent was casually making something that the entire continent would go crazy for.

What was the first priority to increase the quality of life in a territory? It was none other than the stability of personal safety, and also food, clothing, and shelter. After ensuring safety, the first thing Davey chose to tackle was shelter and the improvement of basic infrastructure. Unlike the plentiful storage of food and clothing, the quality of the living spaces and life were...

“The infrastructure of the territory has to be taken care of first before increasing basic quality of life.”

“Infrastructure?”

“How many wells are there in the territory right now?”

“I built about seventy-three more. Thanks to the waterway the dwarves made for us, it has become much easier to build wells as water flows around freely.”

Like the clever girl she was, Amy knew what the territory needed most. For commoners of this world, wells were an important source of water, since it was the way to get water in such a dense terrain. As water was used for drinking, washing, and additional cleanliness, it was one of the essential needs for people.

“There are a lot of accidents in wells, and they are one of the origins of disease. I knew you worked hard, but we should slowly get rid of them in the future.”

“Oh no... I’m sorry. Your Highness! I am foolish...”

Davey pulled Amy up from the ground as she immediately bowed and asked for forgiveness. He said, “I’m not saying that I will get rid of it right away. You actually did well. Be confident.”

‘Just keep growing like this and that will be enough for me.’

Someone had to train human resources. On top of that, it was customary for territories to use wells if it wasn’t for Davey’s plan.

“Elder Goulda. Are the facilities that I told you about ready?”

Then, Davey lightly punched the air with his fist.

Crack!! Then, the empty space fractured and began splitting into a unique pattern. Even before Davey put his hand on it, the Pocket Place threw out the thing he was looking for without any sincerity or gentleness.

* * *

“Talk about your irritating personality,” Davey said.

As the Pocket Plane was made with mana that had a sassy personality, it was seemingly complaining even though it gave Davey exactly what he wanted. It was nice that it gave him what he needed without him having to tell it to, but he wondered if it had to be that mean.

Clicking his tongue, Davey examined the object that popped out from the Pocket Plane and put it into the empty space between the magic stones.

“P—Pocket Plane?!”

“Oh my!”

Ignoring Winley and Yulis, the two mages who were screaming, Davey put the small rock that came out of the Pocket Place in the middle of the magic circle. He commented, “No one will be able to mess with it if I leave it like this.”

What Davey had pulled out was a sealing stone.

“No way! Big brother! Is that a sealing stone?!”

“That’s right.”

“Wow... I didn’t think I would see a sealing stone that I can see at the wizard tower headquarters in person...”

Unlike magic or mana stones, both of which were naturally made, sealing stones were stones made for a specific purpose; its effect was to seal a certain space if mana was being provided, and what Davey had sealed was damage to the magic circle and deterioration beyond parameters. Since he had made it with pretty high-quality material, it wouldn’t be affected by most attacks.

“B... Big brother! Do you have a lot of sealing stones?” Winley asked.

“No, this is all.”

“Oh...”

“It’s not difficult. I’ll make you one sometime.”

‘If it’s your request, I’ll do anything.’

“...He just activated the Pocket Place by swinging his fist when the Teacher has to cast for a long time to use it...”

“Do you have a problem?”

“N... No...” Yulis muttered in shock and shook his head.

Watching Yulis while recording something on her chart, Amy giggled and said proudly, “His Highness always shows me something cool. You will be at ease just having faith in him regarding whatever he does.”

“Th... Thank you.”

It was not jealousy or envy that Yulis, who mumbled in surprise, felt; it was just pure bewilderment.

“Sir Davey... I have a question...”

“What is it?”

“So... What circle are you at?”

After hearing Yulis’ question, Davey stared into the circles rotating inside his body. The mana circles in his body had a system where the creation of the first circle was the hardest. As he had just gotten as many circles as he could since it got easier to create circles as they increased, he was just checking now. He said, “I only have eight rings.”

“Oh my Lord Freyja... Only eight?!” Yulis mumbled in shock, because the best mage known in the continent only had seven circles. He was so surprised that a mage, who was on the complete opposite side of priests, was looking for God.
