After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1034

Quite the peculiar sight would be talked about for a while.

After all, the lord himself seemed to be guiding a couple with a few of his guards following at a distance, just so they wouldn’t bother them. This naturally gathered a lot of surprised stares.

Especially when the levels of the couple were really… low! The male was average level for a Town, but the female seemed to be only above level 10?

However, they had the aura of nobles so they didn’t think too deeply about it. At the very least, anyone handled with such care by their own lord was definitely not a small entity!

They all wondered which town or city they came from to get the lord to show them around like this. Some of the more powerful parties also sent their men to investigate.

Very curious! Who were these newcomers?

…

Jonathan, probably because of his predisposition, had a very open mind and didn’t think his taking another esteemed person around was humbling him.

Instead, he took it as an opportunity to improve his home even more!

This attitude was obvious to the couple, which made them like him more. After all, one could be humble when one was in another person’s territory, but how easy could it be—especially as a native, and a more powerful one at that—to do it on home ground?

This said a lot about his character, and it made the couple more certain that he was one of the best partners among the native population. He was also quite smart and efficient, already applying what he saw in Alterra to his own.

Jonathan and his leading party really maintained the place well compared to the territories, so they rarely had shit on the ground except for maybe the poorer neighborhoods far from the main avenues.

Sadly, Jonathan said he had used up all his building slots so he couldn’t make use of the dormitory design Alterra had.

They had plenty of cleaners, though after going to Alterra they had also decided to build their own public toilets. They had seen how practical it was and although there were costs, it was definitely worth it if done decently.

The initial ones were located only in the high-end areas for now, but it was a start. It was still under construction and Jonathan asked for some advice.

Althea saw that he at least smartly located them in parks, not too close to the built structures so it was far easier to maintain than otherwise.

"I suggest building a manhole where people can easily access the tank below," she said. "And also add fragrant flowers and some deodorizing flowers nearby."

She thought of her studies and suggested some endemic plants with this capability. Jonathan took note of this very seriously, while also impressed at the same time.

It was amazing how a woman—who had only been here a few months—could know more about the local plants than the vast majority of the population.

Next, he showed them some other features of the town that could not be found in Alterra (which was all he could show for, anyway).
