Chapter 917 Adjustment

"I think this is enough for the test." Noel said while looking at the structure. Because it was only a trial, they didn't make the steel structure to support it yet. However, the blacksmith gave insight and the design on how they should use their power.

There were four main beams and an 'X' pattern of lock that stretched from the bottom to the top. This way, the four main beams would be locked in place.

In addition, the plate had truly become a cage. While it wasn't fully covered, it was still safe enough as the human body would have a hard time pa.s.sing through the bars.

It was being pulled from the cage's ceiling where the Enhance Forward Rune was set up.

To pull this off, Anna was the first one to volunteer to test it out. After all, the one who created all the cage and the structure was Noel and Anna. She used the water to create them while Noel froze them. So, Noel remained on the ground to ensure that he properly controlled his power so that the ice wasn't undone.

After stepping inside, Anna closed the cage's door and waved to Noel. "Alright. I'm going."

"Yes. There should be a slot at the ceiling. You should be able to reach it and just insert the Demon Crystal there."

"Alright." Anna nodded with a serious expression and found the socket where she put the Demon Crystal.

The Spiritual Energy from the Demon Crystal then activated the Enhance Forward Rune and dragged the ceiling upward. But because it was a cage, the platform underneath Anna's feet also got pulled.

Slowly but surely, Anna was moving up.

"This is" The mayor, the blacksmith, and the construction professional the town had couldn't help but gasp. It was true that the speed wasn't something extraordinary, but it was still far faster compared to a normal human's speed. After all, it brought them straight up unlike stairs. It was like an automatic ladder.

And the platform was big enough to hold two or three grown men. They could even put materials inside, meaning that they could easily bring it up and down depending on their need.

With the structure, they could also change its height depending on their need.

They tested it near the wall so that the wind didn't really sway the structure, but it also made the entire project visible to the normal citizens.

"Hey, what's that?!"

"Something is going up the wall?"

"No. That's a cage?"

"Wait. Someone is inside! It's the young miss that is always accompanying the earl!"

"What?!"

The people couldn't help but become curious. Some of them even came closer to take a look.

Meanwhile, Anna could see a lot of people from up there. The wall was twelve meters high, so the structure went all the way to the very top of the wall.

She could see the town and it was a scenery that she could never forget. The horizon felt like it was expanding continuously as she went up further and further. It gave her a different feeling from when she flew or jumped into the sky.

This was something that all people could experience in the future. And it only needed a simple structure and a Demon Crystal.

"Wow" Anna gasped in amus.e.m.e.nt. It only took her about twenty seconds to reach the top. And more importantly, she didn't even use any of her stamina or power to reach this place, meaning those who had reached the top would be at their peak state.

As soon as Anna reached the top, the soldiers protecting the wall were taken aback. They never expected that someone would go up here. They thought something was going to happen when Noel created this structure, but they didn't expect that the structure could carry them up like this.

"This is amazing." Anna smiled, looking at the soldiers. The latter didn't know how to reply to her, considering the sight was just too shocking.

Before going down, Anna checked the platform first and realized that the entire structure wasn't being lifted by the platform. If it was a Mid Level Demon Crystal, it might be able to bring it up a bit or at least jolt the entire structure, which made it unsafe. But this structure only needed a Low Level Demon Crystal No, it could be said that this thing could only work with a Low Level Crystal.

Anna waved her hand with a smile as if biding her goodbye. But once she was about to go down, she noticed something was wrong. If she activated the Enhance Forward Rune to go down, it would fall with the help of gravity.

Hence, she had to do one more thing. She created the Floating Rune. This way, the structure would resist the gravity and the Enhance Forward Rune would bring it down bit by bit.

Noel noticed the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy, so he hurriedly flew into the sky to check on her.

"Are you alright? Is there something wrong?" Noel asked with a worried expression.

"If I take off the demon crystal up here and put it down here, won't the platform just fall down?" Anna pointed at the socket on the ceiling and the platform.

"Now that I think about it So, you're using the Floating Rune to resist that power?"

"Indeed. We might need two Demon Crystal so that we could activate the bottom rune first before pulling out the crystal above us." Anna explained.

"No. I think it's fine if we create a lock or something. The mechanism that will lock this entire cage on this place as we activate the second one. But it will definitely be hard to unlock it since it was pushed down by the rune Hmmm" Noel frowned, thinking about something.

"How about creating three separate runes? Up, down, and floating rune? Of course, it's fine to create that mechanism. So, in order to activate it, we need to activate the Floating Rune first before unlocking the platform. Only after that would we insert the demon crystal for the Enhance Forward Rune."

"That could work. But because people are unfamiliar with it, we might need a person who specializes in operating this thing. At least until the people get used to this thing."

"Yes. I think that's fine." Anna nodded in agreement.

After that, Noel stepped on the platform and said, "Let's go down together then."

Anna maintained the Floating Rune before inserting the Demon Crystal in the socket underneath them.

The platform moved down slowly as the Floating Rune resisted the gravity. And Anna suggested that they had to activate the Floating Rune all the time so that even if they went up, there would be a safety rune to stop the incident.

Noel definitely agreed since an incident would cause the citizens to not believe them anymore.

After reaching the bottom, Noel explained the idea to the blacksmith, wondering if he could create the entire structure.

Surprisingly, the blacksmith didn't think it was that hard. But they indeed needed a bit more time to ensure it worked perfectly.

The one who understood the construction was truly amazed by this invention. Repairing the wall would definitely become far easier and faster.

"So, how is it, Mayor?" Noel asked.

"I will definitely a.s.sist you in anything you want to do, my lord. Not only did you fix the water problem, but you also gave a solution to repair the wall. I believe that the city would become a wonderful city under your leaders.h.i.+p." The mayor politely bowed his head.

Noel smiled, "In any case, these are just the tools to solve the problem. And we haven't fixed them yet, so we need to work hard until everything is over."

"So, do we need to add more runes in other places?" Anna asked.

"I'm not sure. While I don't mind creating more runes, we have to make sure that it won't burden this city too much."

"That's also a problem. I guess we can't be too greedy." Anna agreed with Noel.

"But it doesn't hurt if we take a look at other problems. Even if they are not major, just improving the convenience would definitely be big for the city." Noel turned to the mayor. "Let's return to the office and we'll begin inspecting other things."

"Understood, Sir." The mayor nodded furiously as he led them back to the mansion.

Meanwhile, the blacksmith and the construction engineer couldn't help but exchange looks.

"What kind of lord do we get?"

"I don't know. All I know is that he is definitely a good man that will bring Lounstein to its golden age. I've heard a lot of weird rumors, but I hope that he can continue ruling this territory."

"Agreed. All these ideas are revolutionary, so we might see a city that is unique to any place that everyone has seen before."

What they didn't realize was that this city was also a place for Noel to experiment all kinds of things. When the people from other territories, Duke Lorelei, or even envoys from other countries arrived at this place, they would be amazed and realize the possibility Noel had.

It would improve their opinion. For now, they didn't know the method of embedding the rune, so it was fine. But they would definitely seek out that information to steal the technology.

Fortunately, Noel could sit back for the time being, considering the Sword Arbiter would fend off all the problems for a while. So, he was rus.h.i.+ng a few things so that he could show all this to the Sword Arbiter.
