Chapter 6: Power Realized
Theo’s family’s temporary buildings include a wooden house, a wooden fence that stretches around the fertile land, and a livestock pen for their livestock. At that time, Theo could only help his father in designing the structure of the building, relying on his skills from his previous life.
Count Lucien was also surprised and proud, because Theo, who was called the smartest and most intelligent young master in his former kingdom, turned out to be not just a nickname but actually intelligent. Theo even gave an idea of how the design of this building would look beautiful but still be sturdy, and the fort or fence made of wood would remain strong but not easily brittle.
With the completion of their temporary shelter, Theo finally received notifications from the system again after three months of not receiving any notifications at all.
"DING!"
[System Notification : Architect Origin] - v1.0
[Mission Received : (Build Shelter v1.0)] - [Finished]
[Completion Prize: 2 Skills Given]
Skill Set Activated :
- [Blueprint Projection] - v1.0
(Project any building design in hologram form in the air without the need for physical media such as paper or drawing boards)
- [Origin Eyes : Material Scan] - v1.0
(Analyzing surrounding natural materials such as stone, wood, soil and other natural materials to determine the feasibility of construction)
At that moment, Theo was surprised to see a notification from the system that gave skill prizes from the results of the missions that Theo had completed.
"What is this! Skills can only be used to help regional development?"
"Is that just support? I was hoping his skills could be used in battle."
Theo was a little disappointed with the skills provided by the system which turned out to be skills suitable for a building construction architect. Theo hopes that there are skills that can help him develop and protect his family and what he has. However, because the result was like this, he was not discouraged and in fact he would do anything to become strong even though it had to be full of pain to do so.
At that time, Theo tried to use his skill,
"Okay, let’s try how this skill functions well."
"Blueprint Projection!"
When Theo activated the skill, a blue light suddenly appeared and formed a thin net in the air like the shape of a 3D building that had not been filled in. Theo can move the hologram with his hands, and can also change the shape of the hologram with his mind.
At that time, Theo smiled at what he saw, because it was like the films in his previous life where the film used holographic visuals in the story.
"Wow, that’s amazing, so I can make building plans without needing paper? Just using this skill I can make lots of building plans quickly."
Then, Theo ran to meet his father who was busy overseeing the development of his territory. After arriving there, Theo wanted to bring his father and two Knights to see the abilities Theo had gained.
"Take a look at this father, maybe this can help us finish this construction more quickly." Theo said with pride and excitement.
"hmph, well try what you want to show me, kid." Coun Lucien said, curious about what Theo was showing.
Then, suddenly a very thin sparkling blue light appeared, and formed a 3D building. Then Theo tried to make the thin blue light into the current territory of the Caerstellar family with a 3D model of the building and the irrigation around it.
Everyone who saw this was very shocked, their eyes widened in disbelief that a small child could cast such powerful magic which was supposed to be an ability that only an A Rank Mage could do.
"Hey, go up! Tell dad honestly! Where did you get this magical ability!?" Theo’s father said with a sharp gaze at Theo.
Theo’s father felt suspicious and looked at Theo with a very sharp gaze while giving off the aura of a Rank A Knight. This made it seem like it was difficult for Theo to breathe due to the pressure his father was giving him. Count Lucien suspected that Theo’s abilities were the result of the use of black magic, which was strictly prohibited in the world of Velmoria.
"Ugh, sorry dad... this is an ability I just got, and this is only an architectural ability that can help in building planning."
Theo said with a little pressure and difficulty breathing because of the pressure his father was giving him.
Then, Count Lucien held Theo’s hand and tried to channel his aura into Theo’s body to see if it really wasn’t black magic. When the aura from the Count flowed into Theo’s body, suddenly a very small mana core was seen in Theo’s stomach. Immediately Count Lucien was surprised to find out that it really wasn’t black magic, because if it really was black magic then there should be a flow of dirty mana that would attack back the flow of aura that the count gave to Theo’s body. However, when Count Lucien tried to release a flow of aura, suddenly a flow of aura was seen in Theo’s body. At that time, the Count tried to flow it deeper, and it turned out that there was actually a flow of aura in his heart, then the Count let go of Theo’s hand with a feeling of surprise and pride.
"Ugh, kid... it looks like you are a child who is not only smart, but very talented, haha...haha...haha."
"I finally have a talented child, this is even more powerful than a direct descendant from the Kaelmar kingdom, hehe... haha hahah."
Count Lucien was so happy and proud of Theo’s talent. Then, Theo began to explain that he could help in designing buildings with this ability. Even though Theo couldn’t use his ability in battle, for Theo’s family and his five troops, this ability was very helpful, because it could ease and speed up the construction of this new Caerstellar family territory.
After that, the days began to pass, about four days after Theo showed his awakened talent. Currently, Count Lucien is experiencing difficulties in continuing the development of his territory, because the materials currently needed are very lacking, they have to look for quality materials like when his previous territory was filled with materials that were a very step in the development of his territory.
"We’re sorry, Mr. Caertellar, it looks like we have to look for other materials, because in the surrounding area there are no materials we need." Said one of the Caerstellar Knights.
Then Count Lucien started to speak,
"Hmph, you’re right, there is only Hardened Timber here, which is suitable for strong structures and fences."
"However, what we need is strong and sturdy materials for the foundation of the fort and walls."
While Theo was listening to his father’s discussion with the Caerstellar Knights, suddenly the sound of the system was heard again.
