"Idar...the poop scooper?" Leon couldn't help but shudder.

This is an official position that has never appeared in the city of Idar. Although it sounds very disgusting, but... Leon has no choice.

"As you wish, sir." Leon said with a sad face and aggrieved.

The air outside the city was exceptionally fresh, with the occasional scent of wild flowers. For the first time, Bruno felt...that fresh air was so wonderful.

Holding the reins tightly and riding the horse in front, Bruno looked left and right, stopping and starting along the way.

For him, not to mention whether it can be built, the location of the Hanging garden alone is a big problem.

If it was too far from Idar City, it would be inconvenient to dispatch workers. The time wasted on the road alone would be a huge loss. But if it was too close...

Bruno felt a chill at the thought that there might be some unknown smell in the hanging garden.

Before the trip, Bruno had already checked the map of Idar City and its surroundings, but... the level of the map was like that of an elementary school student's doodle, a little too simple to be use effectively for construction.

The circles represent the city of Idar and the surrounding towns and villages. The curves represent the paths connecting the towns. As for more details...if you want to know, you can just guess it yourself.

Fortunately, Bruno inherited the memory of the original body, and in the original body's memory, there happened to be a place that met Bruno's expectations.

The terrain of Idar City is generally high in the west and low in the east. The northwest is backed by the Almis Mountains that run through the eastern part of the empire. The city of Idar is located on a slightly narrow coastal plain at the eastern foot of the Almis Mountains.

Bruno's destination for this trip is the Almis Mountains!

Relying on the route on the map and his original body's memory, Bruno walked in front, guessing and following closely behind was the desperate Leon and his accompanying guards.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Bruno vaguely heard the sound of running water, coming from far away and getting closer, like the crisp sound of rings colliding.

"It seems I'm on the right track." Bruno muttered to himself.

"Master is truly a wise man!" Leon appeared again from nowhere.

Bruno: "…"

Why are you everywhere?

You can't even flatter me... At least change the words you use to praise me!

The sound of running water became louder and louder. Bruno dismounted from his horse by the roadside and walked into the dense forest accompanied by his guards.

The sound of rushing water brushed past the treetops, and the withered yellow leaves on the open space in the forest rustled. Through the dry and upright branches, Bruno saw a white torrent pouring down from the rock wall like a tide. The swift water carried broken ice from the top of the mountain and hit the rocks hard, making a thunderous sound.

This is a waterfall located in a mountain stream. It flows all year round, regardless of autumn or winter, and the roaring sound of water always echoes on the eastern foothills of the Almis Mountains.

What a beautiful sight!

This is a great place to build a sky garden!

For a moment, Bruno was extremely excited.

For him, the biggest challenge in building the sky garden was not manpower or building materials, but the water supply system!

Bruno is not a physics expert, nor is he omniscient. Without the golden finger, even if he traveled through time, he would most likely be just an ordinary person.

Therefore, in this world, he could not build things like water pumps and water pumps, and he could not understand how the hanging gardens on Earth could transport sufficient water from the ground to high places while being far away from the rivers.

So, Bruno's idea was simple, build on the mountain!

The cascading waterfall solved Bruno's water supply problem. As for the stones needed to build the hanging gardens, they could be mined on site in the Almis Mountains!

There is no need to worry about the manpower issue. Bruno, as the only noble lord in Idar, owns all the serfs in Idar.

In addition, it was the middle of winter and people did not need to farm, so Bruno could easily drive a large number of serfs to build this hanging garden for him!

Finally there is some hope!

At this moment, one square pop-up window after another suddenly squeezed into Bruno's field of vision.

[Terrain entry successful——]

[Wonder modeling completed——]

[Have you selected the construction site? ]

There are hidden functions?!

Bruno was both surprised and happy at this time.

Selected!

Bruno thought about it, and saw an interface similar to a flow chart appear in the upper left corner of his vision.

[Location selection successful] → [Drawing generation in progress]

93%...

99%...

In a trance, Bruno seemed to hear a "ding" sound in his ear, and a roll of slightly heavy parchment was stuffed into his hand at some point.

[Sky Garden Construction Drawings.pdf] has been loaded!

[Note: The system will make a comprehensive assessment based on the degree of completion and grandeur of the wonder, and determine the reward for completing the task based on this]

Bruno raised his hand, looked at the parchment scroll in his hand, and muttered to himself: "This is probably... the so-called blueprint..."

With a nervous and somewhat excited mood, Bruno unfolded the parchment...

Sure enough, it was filled with sketches...

The sketch is filled with dense lines. Although there are many lines, they are not messy but orderly.

Bruno couldn't understand the specific construction drawings, but he could clearly tell what a grand and beautiful building this sketch depicted...

The original idea of just building it casually was dashed...

"My lord, I want to build a garden here!" Bruno took a deep breath and said loudly in front of the rushing waterfall.

"Garden? This place is not far from Idar City. If the master really wants to build a garden, we can come here to sit in our spare time. That would be great!" The lackey Leon quickly agreed.

"I want to build a very big garden... So, tell me, how much gold coins and manpower can be spared from the territory now?" Bruno asked.

"Master, don't worry. You haven't wasted too much this year... No, what I mean is that there will probably be a large surplus this year. I believe the old butler will be able to spare enough money for construction!" Leon replied.

"See?" Bruno pointed to the lake, waterfall, and large clearing in the woods. "All of these need to be included. Look, I brought the blueprints with me!"

After saying that, Bruno handed the parchment roll in his hand to Leon.

"Actually, you don't have to worry, sir. The gold coins in our territory have always been...ah this..."

Leon took the blueprint respectfully, opened it casually, glanced at it nonchalantly, and then...

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the drawings handed to him by his master.

Although he, like Bruno, did not quite understand it, Leon knew very well that it would be extremely expensive to build such a building...

This blueprint was different from the previous one made by my master. Just by looking at the extremely detailed markings, I knew it was a long-planned plan...

I didn't expect that!

My master has been quiet for such a long time. I thought he had changed his temper, but I didn't expect that he was planning a big move!

"Plop!"

Leon had a sad face and knelt down beside Bruno: "Master, our small earldom can't stand such a torment..."
