BOOM

As a huge block of what looked like stone fell from the sky due to the Mage in charge of it losing control, the people below screamed in fear as they tried to run away.

It was a cube of around 10 m in length, width, and height, making it so that there was quite a large area for people to evacuate in case they did not want to get squashed by it.

A young man, who seemed to be new to the job, froze in fear as he saw his death approaching.

He had just joined the construction organization, and it was actually his first day here.

Never had he imagined that it might be his last.

He knew that he had to run, but his legs refused to move as his brain was too scared to send any message to his body.

Just as he was about to close his eyes knowing that it was all going to end, he heard a strange sound which made him look up.

As his jaw dropped, he realized that the enormous block which weighed over a thousand kilos was hovering in midair, as if it had been caught in the hands of some invisible giant. It blocked out the sunlight, so he had to squint his eyes and adjust them in hopes of seeing just who it was that had come to save him.

Alas, without pause, the block slowly drop to the ground beside the man, making him finally regain control of his body as he scurried away due to the fear setting in.

There was no one above him, but he thanked the one responsible for saving his life anyway.

As those in charge of the construction started to run towards the location to find out what had happened, Daneel smiled on seeing the thankful face of the man and flew back up into the air from where he had been watching this area.

It was the sight of the construction of the stadium where the event that the entire continent was talking about would soon take place.

Known as the Devil’s Pit, this location had a large canyon which was around 70 acres in area. The humongous stadium that was quickly forming in it had a capacity of around 200,000 people, which was more than any stadium that Daneel remembered from Earth.

He had tasked Kellor with finding the best individuals to spearhead the construction, and he had been very surprised with the metrics that were given to him when he had asked what the size of the stadium would be.

This was a unique project even for the large company, but they had been confident that they would definitely be able to complete it and set down their name in history mainly because this was an opportunity that hadn’t come in the continent for a very long time.

The biggest stadium in the continent right now was in the Kingdom of Axelor, which could seat around 100,000 people and had been built for the purpose of the Battle Royales that were really popular among those people just like in the Black Raven Kingdom.

As the stadium was easily double that size, the company that built it would definitely gain so much fame that they would have no lack of projects in the continent.

The budget was a whopping 2.5 million Gold Lans, which was equivalent to $ 2.5 billion.

Yet, Daneel had actually been quite happy with this amount as he knew the average cost that was needed to build a stadium back on earth.

Although he didn’t remember the figures exactly, he knew that budgets of billions of dollars were nothing out of place when stadiums with capacities of over 100,000 people were being built.

In fact, the price was so high in this case because the stadium had been ordered to be built in weeks.

When taking into consideration that it would take years or even a decade to undertake such a project on Earth, the cost was quite understandable.

Besides, no corners were being cut at all as Daneel envisioned this stadium bringing back much more revenue in the future than he was going to invest right now.

Curious about how exactly the construction would take place and also wanting to get away from the Palace for at least a little bit of time, Daneel had made the journey to the Black Raven Kingdom.

Although he had considered asking for permission and directly teleporting inside, Daneel knew that discretion was the better option.

Hence, he had used the same disguise as before to sneak in.

When he had reached the location, he had been witness to the strange sight of an enormous metal platform in the air from which the large stone block had slipped and fallen.

After acting to save the man who had been about to die, Daneel immediately left the location.

While the people below were puzzled about who the savior was, Daneel turned his attention to the many fascinating trinkets and the construction method that was being used below him.

This location had been chosen jointly by Faxul and Daneel both due of the canyon which was mostly level and was perfect for the stadium, and also because the land sloped downwards slightly to the canyon, making it appear like a bowl with two parts: an outer one which had a slight slope and an inner one which was like a deep pit.

The depth of the canyon was around 50 meters, but the stadium would only be 40 meters tall.

This would make it so that expansion would be easy, as they would simply have to build additional spectator stands on the land outside the canyon if they wished.

Of course, as there would be an enormous amount of distance between that spot and the stadium, they would have to consider deploying display trinkets so that people sitting on the far edges could get in on the excitement even though they couldn’t actually see what was going on inside the stadium with their own eyes.

This reminded Daneel of the sports stadiums back on Earth, where those in the back would have to rely more on the screens placed around stadiums because they would never be able to clearly see the match, unless they had equipment like binoculars.

A few meters away from the canyon, a large makeshift warehouse had been built from which loud sounds could be heard.

Rather than a warehouse, it was more accurate to call it a shed as two sides of the building were open.

Through the opening, Daneel could clearly see that there were around 100 Mages hard at work.

These were all easily Eminent Human level ones, which startled Daneel as they would be able to form a very powerful force which might rival the armies of many kingdoms.

These Mages was sitting in teams of 10 with around 30 m distance between them, and around 1000 people were constantly bringing in cartloads of sand and clay and dumping them in front of them.

After the materials piled up to a certain degree, each team of 10 raised their hands in perfect coordination and cast the spell which first shaped the materials into a cube.

Daneel was fascinated by the teamwork, as it required years of training to be able to do what they just did. If even one mage lost a slight amount of control, the stability of the entire cube would collapse as each of them were handling different sections of it and making sure that it stayed in shape.

After shaping it for around 20 minutes by using water and then extracting the moisture, the Mages cast fire spells with started to fuse the particles together, beginning the process of making the blocks which constituted the stadium.

Daneel was quite surprised to see that the concept of brick making which had been a very essential invention back on earth was already in use here. But, the process has been sped up a lot because of the presence of magic.

Brickmaking composed of four processes: preparation, molding, drying, and burning.

The first three had been compressed into one part, hastening the process by a large degree.

In preparation, impurities were extracted, and this had been done by the fine control of elementary particles that enabled the mages to make sure that they were only controlling the particles they needed, expelling all the unneeded ones.

Next, molding meant making the bricks into the shape that was required, which had already been accomplished.

As for the drying, again, moisture had been extracted by using elementary particles to make the water leave the block.

Finally, the heat resulted in the solid, humongous bricks which were quickly taken to the stadium and laid in place.

Opening his eyes wide and watching everything like a kid who had found his favorite toy, Daneel found himself awed at the creativity of these people that was allowing them to do their jobs effectively.
