Noel looked at the entire project and couldn't help but ask, "How is the fund situation?"

"Far from enough for such an ambitious plan. But this is the only way to cut the biggest cost. If we wait until the city is completed, the cost will skyrocket." Douglas explained.

"How much is the cost compared to our current fund? And how much will it increase if we wait?"

"The current fund? It's about two times... This is the first, so maybe higher than that. And Balott told me that there are also other projects."

Noel fell into deep thought. Getting the necessary funds was easier said than done. If he was not careful, he would lose all the funds without building anything.

Noel turned to Roel. "You should have heard a bit of my plans regarding the rune technology."

"Yes. I've heard from Lady Anna." Roel nodded.

"We have to sell something. It might be the water system." Noel pinched the bridge of his nose.

"If we sell two new weapons, it's going to cover the cost, I believe." Roel explained. Instead of an important water system, he believed this was a better solution.

However, Noel shook his head, rejecting the idea. "We'll keep the weapons to ourselves for now. We're fighting a very dangerous foe, so we can't allow the blueprints of our weapons to be found by the enemies and let them study those weapons. It's going to be troublesome for us."

"If that's the case, how are you going to handle it?" Roel asked.

"Anna."

Anna was confused at first, but it seemed that she understood what Noel wanted. "Since I'm going to meet Damian, I will tell him that you don't mind selling the design for the water system. But shouldn't you ask Livia instead?"

"No. If I go to Livia, it's going to show that I'm desperate, allowing them to take advantage of it to lower the price. But if you go with Damian, the other party won't be able to handle the negotiation, which allows us to demand a certain price. And they will confirm with Livia about the effect. It'll ultimately give us the best advantage in the negotiation."

"I see." Anna nodded before turning to Douglas and Roel. "Are both of you fine? Noel gave you the idea, but you were the first one to ever construct it."

Roel and Douglas exchanged looks. They had been arguing a lot, but surprisingly, they agreed on one thing. Both of them said the same thing. "Sacrifice one to fund ten more."

They wanted to use the water system to fund their research on other things. In fact, by selling this water system, they could get enough funds for the freezer, the power system that would light up the city, and even other things that would be related to those projects.

It was a necessary price to pay.
