The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

The crowd is still buzzing.

But I was distracted by something else.

A translucent plate had appeared before my eyes. I had not seen this before my own eyes since I signed the contract with Sailuke.

However, the contents of the display were clearly different from that time. And this time, I could understand what was written without being able to read the words.

It was written as follows.

Activate the city creation sequence...

City level 1.

The following effect is triggered...

A radius of 50 meters from the base of the great tree of Kagero.

Limits the repopulation of monsters below level 10.

The rate of growth of crops is slightly increased.

Positive correction to population growth rate>>.

I can understand the contents, but many of the words in the list are unintelligible.

What does that mean? I can read the contents, just like the last time I took down a giant mole. ....... I think it means that something Seiluk did to Kagero's seedlings started the city creation sequence or something like that. Maybe that's why most of the old villages are planted with Kagero trees: ......? And what's with all the repop and levels?

While I am distracted by the plate, the sailor flaps his wings again and soars into the sky, attracting the attention of the crowd.

And then, to my surprise, it flew toward me.

I, who was staring at the translucent plate, reacted too late.

Sailuke perches on my shoulder.

And with it, the eyes of the crowd.

"Whoa!"

I stumble backward when Sailuke suddenly lands on my shoulder.

But I manage to stay on my feet and not fall.

I exhale in relief and look up.

There are many eyes staring at me. The attention makes me look around.

Pang!

There is the sound of hands clapping.

It's Karin.

As soon as all eyes are on us, Kalene speaks again.

"With the blessing of the dragons, the seedlings of the Kagero tree in this city have quickly grown into a great tree. It is as if to indicate the city's rapid development. Master Rust, it is truly wonderful! Let us rejoice that we have all witnessed this wonderful event that marks the first page of Harbor Fulton's history.

Kareen speaks while looking at me. It was obvious that she was throwing me under the bus to get things settled.

Kalene seemed to proceed with the ceremony as it was.

"Well, now it's time to report back to everyone. "Well, now it's time to report back to you all. We will use Harbor Fulton as a stepping stone to start building the next town. We will provide you with more details as we get closer to the results of the survey. We will again ask for your help. I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize those who have made significant contributions to the establishment of Harbor Fulton.

Karin then motions with her hand toward Ary.

Ary stepped forward with another parchment in his hand and began to read out the names.

One after another, the names of the heads of the departments and those who had achieved particularly outstanding results were called out and awarded.

Finally, Master Rust. Please come forward.

Ary called my name.
