Chapter 210: Let's Raise the Name Recognition of New Wrexham

The first town in the undeveloped lands, New Wrexham, became famous as a cutting-edge town where you can see Golems at the ranch and experience carriages and cafes with expanded interiors.

Starting with the Royal Family, it seems the Northern and Southern Ducal families, the Cardiff Margrave family, and the Woodpole Viscount family also cooperated in public relations.

And so, many tourists from all over the Kingdom began visiting every day.

Seeing this as a business opportunity, influential trading companies like the Levant Company decided to invest in New Wrexham.

Signs stating that the sites were planned for the construction of new hotels, shops, and restaurants began to go up.

The workshop undertook the construction of the new buildings.

Unlike in the Fairchild territory, there are no town carpenters or other craftsmen here, so there is no worry of stealing their jobs.

The proficiency of the workshop craftsmen’s Production Skills is high.

And for things that aren’t easily made or large buildings, if Theo and I handle them, we should be able to construct them quickly.

New Wrexham became a vibrant town overflowing with vitality, with construction taking place here and there.

That in itself became a factor in the increasing number of tourists.

A virtuous cycle had begun.

“William-sama. The reservations for the sightseeing carriages are fully booked for the next six months.”

“Eh? Since when?”

I was surprised by Oliver‘s report.

“The number of tourists is increasing more than expected. Could I have you make additional carriages?”

“Understood. I’ll make them right away.”

Up until now, two sightseeing carriages had been making round trips between New Wrexham and Tintern, but I made double that, an additional four carriages.

They are carriages that can hold a lot of people with their expanded interiors, so this should be fine.

Just as I was thinking that, the next request came from Oliver.

“There is a shortage of lodging facilities and restaurants. Let’s build directly managed stores for the workshop as well.”

Thinking that something like this might happen, I decide to build a hotel and a restaurant on the land I had secured along the main street.

From the time we planned the town, Oliver had also been thinking about expanding the workshop’s profits.

We can collect taxes from the trading companies, but making them directly managed by the workshop yields greater profits.

For the development of the undeveloped lands, you can never have too much funding.

Oliver really thinks things through well.

I decided to take the plunge and make the hotel managed by the workshop a 10-story building.

Initially, it was planned to be a 5-story stone building, but tourists are increasing more than expected.

Besides, a high-rise building will enhance the town’s advanced image.

If you build a high-rise with stone, you need to make the walls quite thick so it doesn’t collapse under its own weight.

So, after consulting with Oliver, we decided to secretly introduce reinforced concrete and only attach stone to the surface.

Of course, trying to make reinforced concrete normally in this world would be tough.

But the combo of Oliver‘s Apostle skill, Akashic Records, and the Production Skill is powerful.

First, we use the Akashic Records to obtain information on reinforced concrete from my original world and understand its structure.

Next, we gather the raw materials, visualize the finished product, and make it with the Production Skill.

Thinking about it again, I realize it’s quite a cheat-like skill.

As expected, even with the Production Skill, a large hotel cannot be built all at once.

First, I’ll start building from the first floor.

I’ll use luxurious marble for the entrance and lobby.

The lighting will be chandeliers using plenty of expensive glass.

Because I want to make it a luxury hotel that becomes a symbol of the town.

On top of that, I’ll build the guest room floors one by one.

I’ve done construction work adding things like heating systems to already-built structures many times before, so even if I build it floor by floor, I can match the seams perfectly.

“It’s finished.”

“””Ooh!!”””

When the hotel was completed, the workshop craftsmen who helped with the interior and other tasks raised a loud cheer.

“What a tall building!”

“It looks like it could reach the heavens.”

“The marble in the entrance is gorgeous.”

The tourists also look up at the high-rise hotel in admiration.

And exactly as expected, the 10-story hotel became the landmark of New Wrexham and a centerpiece of tourism.

Now that the town has developed, I decided to have all the Apostles see it too.

After adjusting our schedules over the communication device, I brought everyone to New Wrexham with Teleportation Magic. My sister Sophie is with us too.

“I am happy that the town we discussed has actually taken shape.”

“That’s right, Flora. I’m also happy that I could realize the town planning I discussed with all the Apostles.”

“It really has developed considerably in the short time we haven’t seen it.”

“That’s exactly it, Letty-san. If you leave the town for just a bit, a new building has been built.”

To think that Theo, who is participating in the town building, thinks so.

It seems New Wrexham is developing at a speed beyond common sense.

“So this is what happens when you exercise your Production Skill without holding back, Brother.”

I wonder why Sophie speaks with such an exasperated tone.

“Everyone at the workshop is working hard, and we’re getting help from the Golems too, after all.”

“It’s huge that the labor shortage isn’t an issue thanks to the Golems.”

Just as Oliver says, Golems are also active in construction.

They are Golems that played an active role in the battle against monsters, but they aren’t exactly weapons.

I’d be happy if people understand that they aren’t scary entities, but rather things that help people.
