(Blade of Dawn)

-

We need to build a total of 74 houses

and 12 public buildings.

However, we only have a total of 392 residents

who can do hard labor in this domain.

Philip, what are your plans?

Lady Rebecca is kindhearted.

Back at the Citadel of Cecil,

our residents voluntarily take up work like these.

Voluntarily? That's a high sense of awareness.

Our residents have different physiques.

The men can do most of the heavy manual labor.

The women and children

can do everything in their power to help.

Every type of work is done voluntarily.

For those who are more capable,

they will do however much they can.

What if there is something no one is willing to do?

My lord, I have faith that the people of Cecil

will work hard for their homeland.

Faith?

Without being assigned, who will manage official affairs?

Will those who are more capable be rewarded more?

If the project is delayed,

who will bear the blame then?

Philip.

My lord,

I am willing to undertake the mission to rebuild our home.

Therefore, I shall bear the responsibility.

Lord Ancestor, please have faith in us.

It'll be alright.

Perhaps you know them better than I do.

You'll be the one to bear--

I mean, you'll be in charge of this.

Yes, my lord.

Everyone,

please start constructing at the location you were assigned.

If you're short on materials,

please feel free to register with me for more.

Excuse me, coming through.

My lady, please leave this to us.

This is voluntary!

I also want to do my part

- in rebuilding our domain! - Careful, careful.

Be careful!

My lady!

Careful, careful.

Oh please, just use your storage ring.

She thinks doing this is more fulfilling.

Did you find it?

Yes. I almost used up

all the resources at the Great Library of Ans.

This reminds me of the days when I was still an apprentice.

No skills are ever self-taught.

When I was in school, I hated reading the most.

Geology, Etiquette of a Noble, Advanced Alchemy,

Galway Cecil, a Collection of Love Stories?

Heidi.

W-What's wrong?

You aren't that young anymore.

When are you planning on getting married?

My lord, I...

This crystal looks Gandorian.

Where did you get this?

It's from the Mithril Vault, my inheritance.

Did you just say it looks Gandorian?

Yes, without a doubt.

It is the same as the magic crystals from the Gandor era.

Looks like the storage ring's magic resonates with it.

I understand now.

This crystal is just like a lock

that seals an energy of some kind.

A magic crystal is like a key

that can unlock it.

However, the magic in a storage ring is too little.

It isn't enough to awaken it.

Is this big enough?

Yes.

Why won't it unlock?

My lord!

Resetting consciousness frequency. Reconnecting...

Adjusting visibility...

Three, two, one.

This Byron...

Audio mode on.

Come, lend a hand.

Excuse me, excuse me.

New domain, new house, big and beautiful.

You brat, you got lazy again!

What's that about voluntarism?

Who would do extra work?

- Be careful. - Thanks.

You build your own house.

What else aren't you happy about?

What about those public buildings?

Don't we have to build them too?

Who cares?

Just simply do it and be done with it.

Philip, you're all...

just too young.

What are you up to now?

Alert! Alert!

Increased activity on the giant star.

My lord! Lord Galway!

Huh?

What's wrong, my lord?

Byron? You...

What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing.

Have there been more solar activities lately?

Indeed.

The red spot activity this time lasts longer than usual.

Follow me.

My lord, where are we going?

Catch a thief.

Nutritious breakfast!

What's this? They're so poor.

Dare do it again?

No, no.

Then I'll punish you to do a task.

A task?

Well...

Next time, I promise you next time.

Lord Ancestor,

do we really need to do such a detailed census?

What else?

My lord.

How long until inspection?

In a few more days.

As it stands,

all housing can be completed on schedule.

On schedule? Is that on schedule too?

(Mill)

This...

Have everyone in this area stop working and gather around.

What's going on here?

This is the mill.

In the future, all the grains harvested

will be processed here and distributed.

It can secure most of our needs for food and clothing.

But now...

ignoring the fact that it only has a foundation,

the entire scale of the building has been shrunk by half.

Explain this to me.

This has nothing to do with me.

My lord, this is my responsibility.

It is exactly as you worried about.

Some of the workers aren't as proactive.

Perhaps, rather than building the mill,

they would rather

have a sturdy home first. That's why...

That's why they prioritize building houses

and couldn't build public facilities in time?

Yes, my lord.

Lord Ancestor, everyone is really having it hard.

Yes, my lord.

But thanks to you,

we also have plenty of food.

But I'm caring for my elderly and children.

We can be living in tents every day.

My lord, it's not that we're not willing to build.

It's just that we have our hands full.

Now you say your hands are full?

When we're accepting the tasks,

weren't you the one who proudly say

to leave the public buildings to you?

Who said that?

I only took over the shift today.

It's him! He was supposed to do it!

Who are you pointing at?

Don't you know what public building means?

It means everyone work on it together.

When is it my job?

Who told you to work so hard?

Everyone is looking at you now.

If you won't do it, then who will?

Is it wrong of me to work harder?

You two, follow me.

To facilitate processing and distribution of food,

we arranged for the mill to be near where they live.

Even though it's not far from their dwellings,

they are still not motivated to work on its construction.

As for the magic workshop,

smithy and others that are further away,

there is absolutely no one

who is willing to focus on building these.

This...

Investigation results.

Sure thing.

There are a total of 11 buildings in this area.

There are a total of 18 persons who worked at the site recently.

By the way, I am one of them.

And I work the hardest of them all!

Are you done yet?

Well...

The other 17 persons looked like they were working,

but actually...

They won't notice, right?

There are so many materials.

They won't notice a few missing.

It'll be fine.

It's all to develop this domain.

We'll just have to register for more.

These 17 persons

secretly misappropriated public building materials

under the guise of domain development!

How wicked!

This... How is that possible?

Compare this with the building materials registration

and it'll all be clear.

This...

My lord, I have faith that the people of Cecil

will work hard for their homeland.

Without rules,

even if no one misappropriates building materials,

official affairs will be handled negligently.

If no one takes it seriously,

why should I be so serious?

You reap what you sow.

My lord, I'm willing to accept punishment.

Summon all the residents. See you later.

Where are you going?

Come up with three rules.

Hurry, hurry! The new lord seems to have something to say.

That mustachio?

People of Cecil.

I have something to say.

You all should be aware

that the old Citadel of Cecil is gone.

From today onward,

we will build a brand new Citadel of Cecil.

I will now announce three matters.

First, from today onward,

The new Citadel of Cecil

will abolish all previous status and rank.

All the residents will no longer

be bound by their wealth or birth

and be united under the same status:

a pathfinder.

Pathfinder? Us?

A pathfinder

is one who wanders the new land,

taking on endless risks to explore and develop it.

As a pathfinder,

as long as you contribute,

you will receive money from me every month.

If the money isn't enough to spend,

you can take a loan from me.

By the way,

the loans are interest-free.

We can borrow the lord's money?

Isn't that great?

What are the benefits in being a pathfinder?

That's the second matter I would like to announce.

The pathfinder mission system.

Next, I will issue a series of missions.

For example, construct houses,

build roads, excavate a mine, and so on.

No matter what type,

as long as the mission is accomplished to the standard,

you can exchange for rewards

and be considered as contributing to the domain.

In short, the more you work, the more you gain.

If you don't work, you don't gain.

Work for our food? You should've done this sooner!

Third, the pathfinder reward system.

The fact is, a few days ago,

everyone here have accepted a mission.

The mission completion rate is not up to par.

But, let bygones be bygones.

From now onward,

for the first 10 persons

who completes the mission to the standard,

as their reward,

not only will they have meat,

they will have priority in gaining the chance to learn magic.

Learn magic?

Really?

That's only reserved for the nobles.

In the new Citadel of Cecil,

there is nothing that is reserved only for anyone.

Of course, learning it

depends on your compatibility with mana.

This is great! We can learn magic!

The above three rules take effect immediately.

There are 40 hours

until the first round of rewards.

Time to work!

Yes, yes, yes!

Let's go!

Go, let's hurry! Hurry!

Time to work! Time to work.

Who stepped on my foot?! Is it you?

Hurry up!

Why did you step on my foot?

My lord, is it alright for commoners

to come into contact with magic?

Every new era came about

because of dissatisfaction with the old era.

Trust me.

Of course, we will have to trust them again.

So when you told me to take the census,

you actually want to register everyone's information

and their mission categories.

Then use it to record their contributions.

Using the contribution data,

we'll pick out a few people who can be in charge.

I'm finally living the life I hate the most.

The working class wouldn't want to stay there for life.

Lord Ancestor,

there is one other thing.

By the calculations,

we don't have enough money to pay for mission rewards.

One cannot be on the run forever.

Will you please be kind and generous?

If things go well, the debt will be repaid.

If you're unable to pay up when it's due,

you'll be added into a blacklist and be denied transactions.

Blacklist?

You know the consequences.

So, even the Mithril Vault has a blacklist.

The demons draw closer, the end is near.

My lord, this is terrible.

That's right. The good days are over.

Before winter comes, the new Citadel of Cecil

must be completed.
