Chapter 76: Plans for Future
The next day, Rias returned as she had promised, and by then, Kael’s group had also woken up and bathed in the river. They really needed a thorough washing after spending so much time in the labyrinth.
The only reasons they didn’t bathe at night were because they were used to that state, were too exhausted to do anything really, and there were also the dangers of the river.
Kael wasn’t naive enough to believe that the river was completely safe, after all.
Once they had their breakfast done, they all gathered at their precious spot, and Kael took the lead to explain their plans as they began to plan their next moves in building their empire.
Standing on a small stone pedestal, he said, "There are two main things we need to do to make a proper establishment. First is housing, and second is water supply. The problem with housing is that we’ll need to take note of different kinds of environments for different races, but we’ll deal with that later since we don’t have many people."
He raised his hand with two fingers sticking out and continued, "As for water, we will create a canal passing through here from that river and connect it again with the river further downstream. It’ll create a different route of fresh water for us."
"Canal?" Seth asked in confusion.
"Just consider it a separate route for the water to pass through our territory," Kael said. "I was thinking of just digging a small separation of the river, but it’ll create a river island. It’s not a problem for now, but I don’t want that for the long term, so we will use cement or something to make a proper canal without any leakage."
He took a yellow-colored apple-like fruit and took a bite. Then, he explained further, "For the water issue, I’ll leave it to the twins to dig a path for the water to pass. I’ll make a map so it’ll be easier for you. Can you do it?"
