"This structure is pure engineering, and with the skill of magic, the masters who created this place achieved the impossible." Gilgamesh walked with his hands behind his back, his gaze focused on the massive structure that, from a distance, looked small, giving everyone an understanding of how incredible this place was.
Inside, the place was much more incredible than anyone could imagine. It was like a mini-city with enormous buildings inside, and the sky, which should have been covered by huge ceilings, was constructed in a way that there were rectangular glass panels that provided both light and darkness.
It was simply breathtaking to see what was being built by thousands of people. The sky was clear, there was vegetation, and drainage beneath the ground. In addition to that, there were rivers where rainwater flowed through the entire hidden mini-city under a dome.
"For what purpose is this being built?" Eris asked the same question as she looked at Gilgamesh walking ahead.
"Well, I don't know, we are preparing for a complete reconstruction of Roa, so this city will be a temporary replacement where the people of Roa can live in the meantime." Gilgamesh smiled mysteriously as his eyes turned to Rudeus, who was standing beside Eris.
"That sounds very interesting," Rudeus said with a frown. "A fortune must have been spent on this place. There's nothing like having money to spend it on anything that comes to mind."
The money Rudeus was talking about wasn't estimated to be much. Most of the materials were obtained from these same mountains with the help of mages. The processing of the materials was handled by the older slaves that Gilgamesh had bought, and everything else was left to the contracted workers.
After a long tour of the place, Gilgamesh spoke, "Amy, stop playing around and come here."
Boom!
A burst of air was felt as Amy appeared beside Gilgamesh in her heavy armor. She usually stayed in this place, and besides protecting the area, she made sure there were no problems.
"What are your orders, my lord?" Amy asked respectfully.
"I want you to tell Flora that after finishing what she's doing, she should take care of the rest. Don't let her sleep anywhere and hit her if she investigates weird things again," Gilgamesh said in a tired tone.
This solo trip was just to pass the time.
Gilgamesh had lived for over fifty years if you considered his past lives. So, as someone who had lived so long with experiences far beyond any other human, his mental age prevented him from enjoying most of the things a child would do. That's why he spent most of his time training his soldiers, looking for any trace of the Human God in books, and teaching Eris her new combat style, which she was learning herself.
The little time he spent with Eris, they talked about things that had happened in their days. Maybe it was too boring, but being in one place for a long time, things couldn't be that interesting.
If Gilgamesh were an ordinary human, he might have found many of the things around him interesting. However, he had no need to train, let alone learn because his strength was so great that all he did was rest.
"Your orders will be communicated, my lord." Amy bowed respectfully and disappeared from everyone's view.
"Very well, let's go back." Gilgamesh glanced at Eris and, after lightly touching her head, continued walking back to the exit.
Rudeus remained silent as he watched that heavily armored figure move incredibly fast, something he hadn't seen in anyone else. Undoubtedly, there were things much more interesting than magic.
In his view, Gilgamesh was somehow different from the others, and the strength that followed him was far superior. He didn't know if this level of power was what princes and princesses in this kingdom enjoyed, but it was certainly very impressive.
"I guess what you can do will be impossible for me to achieve." Rudeus muttered as he walked far behind Eris and Gilgamesh.
...
Eris Greyrat's birthday party was just around the corner, so preparations started much earlier than planned.
As expected, the response letters from many prestigious noble figures arrived almost immediately, accepting the invitation to the Notos family's birthday party in Fittoa.
Knowing that the guests would be prestigious, Gilgamesh also wanted to match the quality of the party and decided to take charge of all the organizational events. Of course, apart from the beautifully remembered venue, there were numerous tables specifying the seat of each guest.
The most curious thing was that in the center of this birthday party, there was a battle platform, designed with motifs of combat. Anyone who saw this specific area would wonder what the meaning of this was.
"Hahaha, all those nobles will cry at my dear granddaughter's birthday party." Sauros, who was discussing this with his son, couldn't help but laugh at what was about to happen.
As a noble, he had seen Gilgamesh's capabilities up close, as well as all of his subordinates who had come to this mansion. There was no possibility of anyone trying to harm him; they wouldn't even dream of challenging his authority.
"I hope no one dies that night; it wouldn't be good at all." Philip was very calm but also expressed his concern on this occasion.
"Don't be a coward; we'll clean the kingdom of those damn bastards who only want to drink." Sauros said hypothetically as he drank from a large bottle of wine.
