Chapter 005: Site Selection
Gripping the reins tightly, Bruno rode ahead on horseback, glancing left and right, stopping and starting along the way
Shabi knelt beside Bruno with a mournful expression, saying: "My lord the Count... our small territory of the Count is truly unable to withstand such turmoil..."
I want to build a garden here!" Bruno said aloud, taking a deep breath in front of the rushing waterfall
"I want to build a very large garden... So, tell me, how many gold coins and manpower can be allocated from the territory now?" Bruno asked
However, fortunately, Bruno inherited the memories of his original self, and within those memories, there happens to be a location that meets Bruno's expectations
Idar ... ... the one who scoops the litter? Shabi couldn't help but shiver
Several circles represent Idar City and the surrounding towns and villages, while several curves represent the paths connecting the towns. As for more detailed information... If you wish to know, then guess for yourself
For him, the greatest challenge in constructing the sky garden is neither manpower nor building materials, but the water supply system
This is indeed a prime location for constructing an aerial garden
Before setting out, Bruno had already examined the map of Idar City and its surroundings, but... the quality of the map was nothing short of a child's doodle, overly simplistic.
The cascading waterfall solved Bruno's water supply problem, and the stones required for constructing the aerial garden can be easily quarried on-site in the Almis Mountains
The sound of rushing water brushed past the treetops, while the withered yellow leaves on the forest floor rustled softly. Through the dry and upright branches, Bruno saw a white torrent cascading down from the cliff like a tide. The swift current carried fragments of ice from the mountaintop, striking the rocks with a thunderous roar.
In an instant, Bruno was filled with overwhelming excitement
This blueprint, unlike the previous antics of the family patriarch, reveals through its meticulously detailed annotations that it has been carefully planned for a long time
Bruno : " ... ... "

The terrain of Idar City is generally characterized by a higher elevation in the west and a lower elevation in the east. To the northwest, it is backed by the Almis Mountain Range, which runs through the eastern part of the empire. Idar City is situated on a somewhat narrow coastal plain at the eastern foothills of the Almis Mountain Range
The sound of flowing water grew louder as Bruno dismounted by the roadside and, accompanied by his guards, made his way into the dense forest
The sketch is filled with dense lines; although there are many lines, they are not chaotic but rather orderly and well-organized
What was originally just a simple and casual idea has thus fallen through
If it is too far from Idar City, then it will be quite inconvenient for the dispatch workers; just the time wasted on the road is a significant loss. However, if it is too close...
Location selection successful → Generating drawings
With a heart full of tension and a hint of excitement, Bruno unfurled the parchment...
Selected
In a moment of daze, Bruno seemed to hear a "ding" sound by his ear, and he realized that at some point, a slightly heavy roll of parchment had been placed into his hand
Therefore, Bruno's idea is quite simple: to build in harmony with the mountains
The earl truly is a person of great wisdom! Shabi has unexpectedly appeared from somewhere again
Indeed, it is filled with numerous sketches...
Shabi respectfully took the blueprint, opened it somewhat casually, glanced at it absentmindedly, and then...
I did not expect that
A blessed place
Is the construction site selected
The modeling of the spectacle has been completed
Is there really a hidden feature?
There is no need to worry about the issue of manpower, as Bruno, being the only noble lord in Idar City, possesses all the serfs of Idar.
It seems I haven't taken the wrong path, Bruno murmured to himself
Moreover, as it is the height of winter, people do not need to farm, and Bruno can fully command a large number of serfs to build this aerial garden for him
Why are you everywhere!
Thud
He widened his eyes, staring intently at the blueprints handed over by his family's count.
Although he, like Bruno, does not understand much, Shabi is very clear that constructing such a building would certainly require enormous expenses
Bruno is neither a physics expert nor omniscient; without a golden finger, even if he were to traverse worlds, he would most likely remain an unremarkable ordinary person.
The construction blueprint for the sky garden has been successfully loaded
The air outside the city is exceptionally fresh, occasionally wafting with the fragrance of wildflowers. For the first time, Bruno feels... how wonderful the fresh air truly is
It is unclear how long he had been walking, but Bruno faintly heard the sound of rushing water, coming closer and closer, resembling the crisp sound of colliding rings.
Note: The system will conduct a comprehensive assessment based on the completion and grandeur of the wonders, and will determine the task completion rewards accordingly
Garden? This place is not far from Idar City. If the Count truly intends to build a garden, it would be wonderful to come here and sit for a while during leisure time, indeed!" The sycophant Shabir quickly agreed.
Bruno raised his hand, looking at the parchment scroll he was holding, and murmured to himself: "This is probably... what is referred to as a blueprint..."
"As you wish, esteemed Count," Shabi said with a mournful expression, feeling wronged.
Not even able to flatter properly...! At the very least, you should rephrase it and give a compliment!
You need not worry, this year you have not been too extravagant... Ah no, what I mean is, there will surely be a substantial surplus this year, and I believe the old steward will certainly be able to allocate enough funds for the construction
At last, there is a glimmer of hope
In fact, my lord the Count, you need not worry at all; the gold coins in our territory have always been... ah, this...
Bruno cannot understand the specific construction drawings, but he can clearly perceive the grandeur and beauty of the building depicted in this sketch
This is a position that has never appeared in Idar City. Although it sounds quite intriguing at first glance, Shabi had no choice.
The mere thought that there might be some inexplicable scent wafting through the sky garden sent a shiver down Bruno's spine
The Earl of our household has finally been quiet for such a long time, and I thought he had changed his temperament, but unexpectedly, he is actually preparing a major move
At this moment, Bruno was both astonished and delighted
Having said that, Bruno handed the parchment in his hand to Shabi
The destination of Bruno's journey is the Almis Mountains
Did you see? Bruno pointed to the lake, the waterfall, and the relatively large clearing in the woods in front of him, saying: "All of these must be included. Look, I have brought the blueprints!"
This is a waterfall located in a mountain gorge, which flows continuously throughout the year, regardless of autumn or winter, with the roaring sound of water echoing constantly on the eastern slopes of the Almis Mountains
As soon as Bruno had a thought, he noticed a flowchart-like interface appearing in the upper left corner of his vision
Terrain entry successful
At that moment, a series of square pop-up windows suddenly crowded into Bruno's line of sight one after another
Therefore, in this world, he is unable to create devices such as hydraulic presses or water pumps, nor can he comprehend how the aerial gardens on Earth transport ample water from the ground to elevated heights while being distant from rivers
For him, not to mention whether it can actually be constructed, the mere selection of a site for the aerial garden is a significant issue
With the route from the map and the memories of his original self, Bruno walked ahead, guessing and deducing, followed closely by the disenchanted Shabi and the accompanying guards
