Chapter 111: Is There a Limit to Modifying?

Since the carriage was complete, I decided to show it to Letty, so I contacted the Cardiff Earl House. Thanks to the improved highway, traveling between Wrexham, the capital of the Cardiff Earldom, and our capital, Northernford, has become easy. Regular carriage services run daily, so delivering letters is also a breeze. Once Letty arrived, I decided to show it to Sophie at the same time.

“This is the exploration carriage. I modified it so the two of you could spend your time as comfortably as possible.” “This color… Is it possibly covered in Mithril?” “You have a sharp eye, Letty. It has four resistances enchanted on it.” Letty cradled her head in her hands. “Will, isn’t Mithril with four resistances a state secret?”

“That might be true, but it’s fine. I have His Majesty’s approval.” When I asked His Majesty if I could use Magic Stones for daily life, he not only approved but also wrote in his reply that I should use high-quality materials without hesitation to ensure safety in the southern undeveloped lands. I am truly grateful.

“Brother, may I see the inside?” “Yeah, go ahead.” “May I see it too?” “Of course. I modified the inside with the Production Skill as well.”

Sophie and Letty opened the door and went inside. “Wow, it is spacious. Is this your Space Magic, Brother?” “I heard stories about Will expanding the inside of tents when exploring the undeveloped lands, but seeing it in person is surprising.”

I followed the two of them into the carriage. “Space Magic is convenient magic.” “The fact that the carriage is spacious is surprising enough, but this table is very beautiful. Is the material Mahogany?” “Correct. Oliver procured it for me.”

“The chairs are wonderful too, Brother.” “I used Walnut wood for the chairs.” “Good grief, which mansion’s reception room is this? It doesn’t feel like we’re going to explore a dangerous place.” “Ahaha, I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“By the way, Will. It looks like there are doors inside this carriage. Am I seeing things?” “No, you’re not seeing things; they are certainly doors.” “Why are there doors inside a carriage?!”

“Letty, raising your voice like that isn’t very ladylike. It just has multiple rooms because I expanded the interior.” “You say ‘just’ multiple rooms, but Brother, I feel your choice of words is incorrect.” “Is that so? Opening this door leads to the dining room, and those two doors over there connect to the bedrooms.”

When I opened the doors and showed them the adjacent rooms, the two of them froze. After a while, Sophie turned toward Letty. It felt like a creak-creak sound might be heard as she turned her neck. “Sister Letty, am I dreaming? The inside of the carriage looks like a house.” “No, I am seeing the same thing.”

“I just expanded the space, though.” “No, Brother. I feel there is a difference between expanding space and turning the inside of a carriage into a house!” “That’s right, isn’t this a little overboard?” “You think so? I think this is more comfortable. Ah, the bedrooms are separated by gender, so you can lie down and rest during the day, and it’s safe even if we end up staying overnight.”

The two of them timidly passed through the door and entered the bedroom. “This is spacious too.” “There are four beds placed here.” “Yeah, I plan to explore with six people, three men and three women, but I made it with room to spare so it’s fine if more people join.”

Letty sighed. “It makes me think about the definition of the word ‘carriage.’ Well, it certainly seems comfortable, though.” “There are even small chests of drawers next to the beds.” “I’m happy you say it’s comfortable. But the most ingenious part is in the back of the dining room.”

“There’s more? Brother.” “Yeah, take a look.” When the two of them opened the dining room door, there was a changing space. “It’s a relatively small space. Is this the most ingenious part?” “No, it’s beyond that.” Opening the door further in, the two stood stock still.

“What do you think? Since it gets hotter the further south we go, I installed a bath.” When they turned around, their faces looked angry for some reason. “Will, this is too much!” “That is right! There is a limit to things, Brother.” I got scolded by the two of them. Well, this is the first time using Magic Stones for civilian purposes, after all.

Afterwards, when I explained the mechanism where hot water comes out using Magic Stones, the two looked exasperated. “I don’t even have the energy to get angry anymore.” “Isn’t this carriage a lump of secrets?” “Ahaha, His Majesty wrote in the letter that since the development of the undeveloped lands won’t be seen by others for the time being, I can use my Production Skill to its fullest.” Could you two please stop looking at me with those deadpan eyes?

“I want to make Magic Stones useful for life, not weapons. This carriage is a prototype for that.” Letty sighed. “I understand that you want to use Magic Stones for life and not weapons. I see, so it’s also a prototype for developing the undeveloped lands. Even so…” “It is a thoroughly absurd carriage. If this is a prototype, I wonder what kind of town the territory you develop will become, Brother?” “Yeah. Well, I don’t intend to use Space Magic for normal buildings, but I do want to make it a town where people can live comfortably using Magic Stones.”
