"You what?!" Duke Lorelei gasped in shock, thinking, 'When I was still the acting head, if I'm not wrong, to provide enough water from the territory, I would spend about 200 gold coins a month. A single Advanced Level Demon Crystal cost me about five gold coins each.

'So, needing only 250 gold coins a month to maintain an unlimited supply of water is simply ridiculous. It's not about providing 'enough supply' but 'unlimited supply.' And by doing so, the people don't need to fetch water from a certain facility anymore.

'The initial investment is big, but I also need to create a facility to do that. So, the difference might not be as I expected. More importantly, the people would definitely be satisfied, which would cause the city to bloom with people. The taxes you can get from the city alone will surpass the operation cost.'

Duke Lorelei wasn't the only person who was shocked. Even Anna was dumbfounded, but for a different reason.

The duke she knew would always be calm and collected. He was a cool guy who could cut down on his enemies easily. Yet, the same dignified duke was falling on his butt out of shock.

She might never get a chance to witness something like this again for the rest of her life.

Duke Lorelei realized that his appearance was a mess, so he hurriedly regained his composure and coughed a few times. "I apologize for showing you such behaviors."

"What are you talking about? The duke just lost his balance because of this unusual plate and recovered quickly." Anna smiled while gesturing to him to stand on the plate again.

Duke Lorelei embarrassedly stepped on the plate and said, "Are you… really telling the truth?"

"Of course." Anna pointed at the well. The well actually had a black rod sticking out and it was covered with a wooden pipe that flowed through the storage facility. "If you see that pipe over there, that's the pipe that holds the power of the runes.

"Normally, the pump would require people to operate it, right? The rune can be activated as long as there is a Demon Crystal. So, the Rune is the one shooting up the water before it was flowing down the storage.

"We simply redesigned the storage facility so that the entire city can receive that unlimited supply of water. It's as simple as that." Anna explained.

"That's…" The Sword Arbiter nodded. He obviously understood that the pump could be operated 24 hours a day, but it would still take too much manpower. And if the entire city used it, there was no way a few people's strengths were enough.

But it would be different if it were run automatically by the rune.

"Do you know where I can purchase it? No, how do I ask for one to be constructed in my place?" Duke Lorelei asked. He wanted to purchase the rod only so he could construct the rest of the facility himself. But there was no way they would accept it, so he corrected himself and tried to hire them.

Anna chuckled. "I don't have the authority to take care of the problem."
