[North]
At some point, Ethan's original villa had somehow become three large villas connected together.
The one in the middle was the tallest, with four floors, a blue roof, and yellow walls.
The two villas beside it were shorter, each with two floors.
But the height of each floor in the villas was far greater than that of the residential buildings.
Mr. White estimated… Each floor was roughly five or six meters high.
In fact, each floor was equivalent to two floors of the residential buildings. So even though the middle villa was only four floors high, it was still taller than the five-story residential buildings.
As for the two slightly shorter buildings on either side, their rooftops had both been turned into aerial gardens covered by huge transparent roofs.
The entire rooftops were filled with plants.
From a distance… they looked like botanical gardens growing in the sky.
It was winter right now, after all. No matter how beautiful the greenery was, it would be covered by the ice and snow of the cold winter, making it impossible to achieve an effect like a greenhouse botanical garden.
Yet the remodeling scroll Lord Ethan had obtained from somewhere had unexpectedly created a greenhouse garden in winter.
No matter how cold it was outside, the botanical gardens above the villa district could remain lush and green all year round, with even little flowers blooming everywhere. It was truly something to yearn for.
As for the hot spring pool that had originally been in front of the villa, it had now been moved to the east.
The aerial staircase of the hot spring pool was still connected to Ethan's villa, except that it was now connected to the aerial garden of Villa No. 3.
The entire aerial staircase was covered by a glass enclosure.
This design was really considerate. It seemed to be worried that after soaking in the hot spring, the town's owner might get cold from the wind on the way back, so the entire passage had been perfectly enclosed to prevent Ethan from catching a chill.
The original pet shed, meanwhile, had been moved to the west side of the villas.
Besides the giant pet shed, the western side actually had a huge tree about as tall as the villas, with a giant treehouse bird's nest on it.
The White Eagle was happily inside the huge treehouse, with little flames flickering around it.
As for the east side, there was now a large building. It was only three stories high, and through his telescope, Mr. White saw a plaque hanging outside the building.
It read: [Town Administration Building].
'Town…'
'Administration Building?'
'The place changed from a manor into a town?'
'And it even has something called an administration building. What is it for?'
Mr. White was a little confused.
He immediately thought of the City Lord's Mansion, which was where the entire city was managed, 'Could it be that this Lord Ethan's manor… no, small town, already has a management department as well?'
As for the south…
A large area of land had been left completely empty. It looked like there was some kind of plan for it.
"Old White…"
Just as Mr. White was admiring the Town Administration Building, the Dwarf Clan Chief patted him and said, "Look… over there!"
"What?"
Mr. White turned around, only to discover that behind the residents' district, there was an even larger and more expansive area.
At the center of the town, as far as the eye could see, there was actually a huge fountain square. The entire fountain square was paved with a kind of white stone. The square was unbelievably spacious, and apart from a fountain, there was only a huge platform.
That platform was probably for Lord Ethan, or rather, the administrator, to give speeches.
Besides the square, a large area had been set aside to the west of the square for farmland.
To the east, near the residents' district, there was an area that looked like a barracks. It had sandy ground, with some training equipment, archery targets, and other equipment placed around.
Besides the training camp, there was also a large stretch of grassland and farmland to the south of the square. A fenced-off livestock area had been set up on the grassland, where countless Hell Tyrannosaurus Dogs were running around wildly, kicking up clouds of dust.
But none of this was enough to shock Mr. White.
What shocked Mr. White the most was… in the northern area near where the Magic Tree was located, Ethan had actually opened up a huge area. That area had densely packed houses and a very large hot spring pool.
Could it be…
"Mr. White, Dwarf Clan Chief, hello!"
At some point, Ethan had actually come up behind Mr. White and the others and greeted them.
Ethan's sudden appearance naturally startled Mr. White as well, but what he was more concerned about at this moment was what those densely packed buildings near the Magic Tree actually were.
"Lord Ethan, when did you get here?", Mr. White patted his chest to calm himself down as he asked, "By the way, what exactly are those little houses near the Magic Tree? Are they houses for the heroes who go to the Magic Tree to participate in the tree-climbing competition?"
"No!"
Ethan shook his head and said, "That's the market. Not only can we sell goods ourselves, we can also rent stalls to other people so they can sell their goods. That way, our town can attract more merchants to come here and do business."
"And through word of mouth from those merchants, our town's economy can be stimulated as well."
