Chapter 17 - The Big Four Pillar's

When Theo showed the Blueprint with the shape and buildings of the area from the idea he had in mind, Theo began to explain each part of the area.

| There are four zones or let's call them four big pillars: |

Eastern part: Staellar (as an agricultural region rich in resources, and a place where valuable artifacts are stored).

Western part: Tharn (as an information and spy network area).

Northern part: Eirwyn (as a place for research or research on dungeons, and where the magic tower was founded).

Southern part: Solmere (as a military training ground and fighting arena for the Caerstellar family troops).

=============

The idea that Theo gave was very good, Count Lucien even thought about making these four parts a secret military area, to anticipate enemy attacks, but this idea had big risks because it was a very visible area filled with military power.

At that time, Lirael also added an idea, the four parts would be protected by Lirael's ability, namely Runesmith, which provides

And when Theo gave that explanation, Vornak Earthwalker also gave his opinion.

"Young master, this idea is truly brilliant and extraordinary, but there seems to be one thing that makes it difficult to complete." Vornak wondered what was missing from that.

"A top-level Mage." Said Lirael who already understood Theo's idea.

"That's right, we need a top level mage to help complete this construction faster, maybe in about two years this construction can all be finished." Count Lucein said to all members attending the meeting.

And at that moment, Knight Cedric thought of someone who could serve as a mage in the Caerstellar family.

"I thought of someone, Count. He was once a great mage from the Veltrazia Kingdom." Knight Cedric said with a little hesitation in telling Count Lucien.

"Hmph, are you referring to Daria Earthflare and Alden Emberstone?" Said Vornak Eartwalker, slightly guessing the mage's name.

Everyone in the meeting room was surprised by the name Vornak mentioned, except Theo who didn't know who these two people were.

And not long after, the system gave a notification again.

=====================

"DING!"

[System Notification - Architect Origin] - v1.0

[Immediately Recruit the remaining Workers!]

[Identification of Prospective Workers]

- [Daria Earthflare]

- [Alden Emberstone]

[Completion Duration: 14 Days]

[Complete this Extra Mission Host!]

=====================

"Hah! This system activates just like that! But if you look around, this isn't a mission."

"Oh, so this is a notification from the system, so I can complete the previous additional mission?"

"But it's a bit strange, why is a mage who was just being talked about at the meeting, suddenly detected as a worker?"

"Haha, is it possible that looking for workers doesn't require looking at how great and strong a person is?"

Theo continued to mutter in his heart regarding the notification from the system. He was sometimes confused and also happy like crazy, because apart from getting benefits from the system, Theo also had to try to understand the meaning of the system, why it gave someone who was supposed to be a top level mage in a kingdom, but the system actually asked that great person to be a worker.

Then Knight Cedric asked Count Lucien for permission to go look for the two mages, but at that time Theo volunteered himself to come with Knight Cedric. Theo asked his workers to start developing the area according to the plan from the meeting chaired by Theo's father, Count Lucien. Count Lucien gave directions to immediately complete construction in three parts, namely west, north and south. 

Meanwhile in the eastern part, because some of it has been completed, especially the fort or wall which forms the outer boundary of the eastern part. Count Lucien handed over the task to Theo, assisted by Knight Cedric, and Knight Julian would return to assist Count Lucien as before. However, for Lirael with Nessa and Magnus, they will guard the outer eastern region, while Theo goes to the kingdom of Veltrazia.

"Okay, for the matter of recruiting mages, I leave it to you Knight Cedric and my son Theo." Count Lucien said to Knight Cedric and Theo.

The meeting ended, and the day began to change, Theo and Knight Cedric were ready to go to the Veltrazia Kingdom.

"Young master, it's time for us to leave." Knight Cedric said to Theo.

"Well, it's time to travel to the kingdom of Veltrazia!" Said Theo, who looked happy with his mission trip. 

After about 2 days, Theo finally arrived in the Kingdom. Theo, for the first time in his life, seemed surprised to see how beautiful the royal wall ornaments were. 

"Woah, is every kingdom or empire in this world as beautiful as this?" Said Theo who was endlessly amazed at the splendor of the kingdom. 

After that they looked for the nearest inn to the city center of the Veltrazia kingdom. However, before Theo rested at the inn, he tried to collect SR points to be able to use his skills as much as possible. Theo started to help a small child who was selling fruit, but at that time he was disturbed by several thugs who demanded forced tax money. And at that time Theo also helped pay the child's taxes and bought some fruit from the little boy.

For a whole day, Theo managed to do good deeds to the people around him, and he managed to collect a total SR of around 34 points. 

"Not bad, my SR total this time has collected 34 points. But I have to collect at least 100 SR points, if I want to use as many skills from the system as possible." Theo said with a serious expression in order to find the two mages with the help of his Omni Analysis skill.

Meanwhile, Knight Cedric searched various areas while still hiding his identity. At that time, Knight Cedric disguised himself as a local resident, because he had acquaintances in several locations. Theo gave Knight Cedric permission to search his way, and when he found him, Theo asked to contact him with a magic tool that was commonly used in this world as a communication tool. This magic tool was shaped like a small emblem the size of a hand, and this emblem was made from top-level crystal stones combined with current technology along with magic runes in it.

It had been four days since Theo had been in the territory of the Veltrazia kingdom. During those four days, Theo seemed to be enjoying the scenery in the territory of the Veltrazia kingdom. He was very excited by seeing how great this region was, a lot of technology combined with magic. What really impressed Theo was that at night, the lights in the surrounding area were lit using crystal stones along the road. 

"Heh, I've been around the city for four days, but this looks strange to me." Theo said with a little frustration at the search for the mage.

Theo felt unfamiliar with this world, when he was in the kingdom of Veltrazia. He felt that in his previous life, Theo lived in a dirty environment, full of pollution and the streets were even filled with vehicles to the point of traffic jams. But it's different here, or rather in this world. Here there are no tall buildings close together, no vehicles or roads that cause traffic jams. It's like a simple life but combined with a magic that makes this world look amazing. 

After muttering about what he had been through, Theo remembered Knight Cedric again. During these four days, Knight Cedric had no news or news regarding the search for Daria Earthflare and Alden Emberstone. Then, Theo went to a place to eat close to his accommodation, where Theo heard a little information from people in the area. They seemed to be talking about a great figure who was a pillar in this kingdom. At that time, Theo was curious about who this person was. Theo tried to find a dining table close to the people who were talking about this great figure.

"Hey! Did you know that the great pillar of this kingdom is now crazy?" Said Dimmel, an ordinary person who brought some information from other people.

"Is that true, I heard the news had spread several months ago." Dimmel's friend said this, making other people who heard it even more curious.

"Who is the great pillar you mean? Sorry, I don't know the news about this." Said a figure who was passing by, wearing a mysterious black robe, he was with a girl with red hair and sparkling black eyes, who looked 25 years old.

"Hoho, you're a newcomer here, aren't you? Listen carefully to my short story." Dimmel said while explaining who this great figure was.

Then Dimmel explained the story further,

"So this pillar figure is a great mage, they both have A rank and almost reached 6 stars."

"This figure is known by the Codename Scorched Pillar, namely the burning pillar."

"Just the two of them can destroy a small town close to this area, that town is Ironval."

"Because the city was destroyed, now it is just a dead city. So there are many beggars, bandits, and some slum dwellers who have no place to live."

 At that time, Theo became increasingly curious about who these two figures were. Are these two mages the people Theo will recruit, or are these different people.
