Having heard everything from Kiana, Lucius understood that only more investigation into this would get them any chance at getting the answers. Besides the obvious value of Keith as a test subject, he was also iimportant,as he could be used as the weakness of the Viscount.

While the Viscount had three children of his own, Keith was the eldest and was the chosen heir. His other children were much younger, with a girl being nine years old and a boy of six years old.

Meanwhile, Keith was twenty five years old and was undoubtedly going to be the heir of his territory. If Keith was gone, the Viscount may fall in trouble, as it would take him far too long to train his other children.

His second child was a girl and was not someone who he wanted to be the heir. If she was the only child he had, it would have been possible, but since he had another son, he would be the one who would have to become the heir.

But the problem was his youngest son was only six years old. Even if he were to train the boy till he was at least sixteen years of age, it would take him ten years. These were ten years that he would barely have.

The Viscount himself was about sixty years old and had gotten children late in his life. One could even say that this was one of the reasons why he had not acted out earlier. Now that he had Keith ready, it was the perfect time for him to separate his territory from the Land Of Etara.

"Seems like we will need to make some changes according to how the situation progresses," Lucius stated.

"Yes. I'll keep you updated on it." Kiana said, before taking her leave.

Lucius nodded his head and went back to the work he was doing. He had already finished most of the work for the wine and the recipes were now set. The smaller changes that needed to be done for large production quantities had already been done too.

All that he was waiting for now was the brewery to be completed.

"Hmm… I should take a look." Lucius muttered before leaving the lab.

He exited the mansion and quickly climbed onto a horse that a servant brought for him. Then galloping past the mansion gates, Lucius left for the brewery's location. Two guards automatically started following him without question, as was their duty.

Lucius didn't mind this and actually preferred it, as it would save him from a few troubles. While Lucius knew he was not weak, he was not strong enough to go against multiple people at once.

Even if he had the Wind Scar sword with him right now, it did not guarantee that he would be safe. Sometimes just having more numbers was enough to deter potential threats and that was exactly what Lucius was going for.

It took Lucius about thirty minutes to leave the city itself and then five minutes more to reach the site of the brewery. Since the brewery was located on the barren outskirt of the city, Lucius had to take a rather longer route.

This was another thing that Lucius had told Gabriel to do. They would need to made a new road that took to this exit of the city so that it made it faster to travel to the brewery. This exit was rather small and was not often used.

The only people who used it were those who lived in these parts or a few lumberjacks who went to cut wood in the forest nearby. Since it was never used that much, the road was not properly developed.

But even making a new road was not easy, as there were a lot of houses and buildings in the way. If they wanted to make a new road, they would need to get the people to move and demolish the houses.

Of course, they could not do this without compensating the citizens first and that would be an additional expense that they did not want right now. So what Lucius had told Gabriel to do was to simply inform the citizens living near the supposed new road about its eventual construction.

That way they would not be surprised and say that they were not informed beforehand. It was just making their own work easier, as they would get plenty of time to prepare themselves. The roar would likely be built once the first profits from the wine came.

That would easily take over three to four months from now, and even that was an estimation that could change due to anything unexpected. Though so far, they had no hitches and their progress was going smoothly.

Upon arriving at the site of the brewery Lucius saw that the land had already been cleared out and they had filled in the foundation now. The foundation here was made by digging deep holes and inserting four logs into it.

After that, the area around the logs would be filled with stones and rocks all the way up to the brim. Then finally they would pour in mortal to fully seal the hole which would prevent the logs from moving.

Because of the size of the building, they needed to use four logs, otherwise they only needed a single log as the foundation pillar. But this was just a single pillar. The entire brewery needed about ten such pillars.

There were four pillars at each corner of the brewery, then one each between the corners, which led to a total of eight. The final two pillars were in the center of the brewery and were placed at an equal distance.

By now they had finished filling in the last of the foundations and were getting to making the lower stone floor of the brewery. On top of this, another floor would be made of stone once again.

"Ah, young lord Asher!" someone suddenly exclaimed upon seeing him.
