Spending My Retirement In A Game-Chapter 852: Security System

Eisen pushed the finished lock into the wooden door. He pushed the corresponding metal key into its and turned it around, watching as it properly locked into place. With a smile, he pulled on the handle, noticed that it didn't budge, and quickly unlocked the door again. Now that this worked, he was able to quickly move on to the main protective enchantments on the building.

The main issue with something at this scale was that any gaps that were in regular structures were also a lot larger now. Eisen had to account for any sagging at the hinges that could happen over time, and also had to make sure that if the wood expanded or shrank due to the temperature and weather nothing would end up breaking, so these natural gaps were really unavoidable.

And these gaps would make it very easy for people to break in, which was why Eisen would create an enchantment that would prevent this.

At the end of the day, it was really just a very basic enchantment, though. Along each of the corners of the hut, Eisen carved the 'cornerstones' of the enchantment, creating lines of runes to define the actual locations and properties of the barrier that was going to be deployed, filling all the gaps and covering the outer wall and windows so that nobody would be able to enter the building.

The actual effect was going to be powered by a simple mana generator that Eisen placed into the floor of the house, small enough to not even be of notice to Khan, while also leaving Eisen the option to access it should he need to swap something out or make changes in the future.

And the actual trigger for this barrier was also simple; if the door was locked, it would be deployed, otherwise, it would be turned off.

If Khan was actually there, there was no need to deploy any barrier, and if he wasn't and just left the door unlocked, then a barrier wouldn't be of any help either. Of course, Eisen could create a barrier that was constantly active that would check on who it was that actually entered the building, but that would make it somewhat annoying for Khan to invite others over.

Everyone that he could potentially invite would need to be registered somehow, so simply relying on Khan to regularly lock the door seemed like the easier option. And again, this was a prototype process that he was hoping to test out and place onto other buildings in this city soon.

Especially at a scale like that, and even more so if this ended up being brought to other countries as well, it was important to make it as simple as possible.

For now, Eisen connected everything through the lock, and quickly test it out. A slight glow enveloped the building for a few moments, but soon subsided. But with his truth-seeing eyes, Eisen knew that the mana from the generator was stably flowing through the enchantments and surrounding the building in a stable barrier.

And then, Eisen stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. Though, it was a bit more than just the kind of knock where you wanted someone to come and open it; he was using strength that could usually damage the door quite a bit. The moment he did, Eisen could feel a sudden jolt as his arm was wrapped in strands of magic, forcing his arm to be stuck to the barrier. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Not the door itself of course, but the barrier. That way, he couldn't just force his arm away and damage the structure in the process.

Eisen turned his head, seeing the small crystal lamp he had placed near the door light up in a red light. This was a current placeholder for what was going to be a connection for a warning-signal to be sent out, so that some local guards could come and check out what was going on.

This only activated in case someone was trying to do damage to the structure in the process of breaking in, and then they would be quickly apprehended.

Though for now, Eisen sent through a pules of his mana and deactivated the enchantment. For this, some mana-signatures would be stored. This had to be deactivated somehow, after all. So either, the owner of the building or anyone else they assigned to it would be able to deactivate that specific part of the enchantment before the signal was sent out to the guards.

Of course, it would also be possible to just deactivate it by holding the key against the barrier.

For now, Eisen was happy with this, and then quickly unlocked the door again for the time being. He made his way back over to the spot where he was actually preparing all the materials, and looked at the crucible being watched by one of his doubles. In there, the old man saw a liquid glass mixture, combined with some different gemstone and crystals as usual.

The old man quickly created some molds with his elemental magic, and poured the molten glass inside, fully enveloping it with his magic to make it all slowly cool down. By the time everything had cooled down, Eisen was ready to properly enchant them.

There were a few different things that he placed into the different glass panes. For one, there were enchantments that would strengthen them physically, of course. Otherwise, there were enchantments for temperature-management, ones that would prevent them from fogging up, and then a few convenience-based enchantments.

Practically, despite how rustic this wooden hut seemed at first, Eisen wanted to turn it into something of a smart-home. On one of the windows panes, the one that would end up near where the bed was going to be placed, Eisen placed another product. One that Xenia had been working on in her free time. In the simplest possible terms, it was a weather app.

Using some divination magics cleverly placed together into a fist-sized orb, the fist of a human of course, it was possible to see what the weather was going to be like over the next few days.

Really, these didn't have the power to see the future; they were just magics that were developed to help farmers out to know what weather they were supposed to expect for their harvest, so they could plan ahead for a few weeks.

Using this, it was possible to translate that into simple symbols and numers, allowing them to display a rough temperature range and the general weather in the area for a specified period of time. Whether it was sunny, it would rain, it was particularly windy or cloudy, any of those things.

Of course, it was more accurate the closer that time-period was to the current time, as it was with meteorology on earth, so it was restricted to one week ahead of time for now. Enjoy reading at novelbuddy

Eisen and Xenia were going to keep developing this further, and might even higher some people to keep working on and fine-tuning things like that, so that the two could concentrate on otehr matters. For now, it worked perfectly fine as a prototype. And so, that small object would be linked with the enchantments on the window and display the a simple weather forecast for Khan.

That last enchantment, which was placed onto all of them, was a simply one to allow for the complete darkening of the windows. They would turn completely black and not allow any light through whatsoever, making curtains quite obsolete.

And then, Eisen got read to place these massive windows into their respective positions. Especially the large skylight was the part that Eisen was most worried about, but the enchantments seemed to be doing their job well, and everything was more than stable. Eisen was even able to stand on the skylight without it even bending, so he was very happy.

Maybe he should try and mass-produce windows like this and allow for particular size-specifications. That would make it pretty easy to roll them out to other places. Though of course, that wouldn't include the special weather-forecast on the window; that was just a special feature for Khan.

They would figure out something else, maybe a simple display that people could put into their home to check the weather. Though, the time until they could roll this out to people was still a little bit away.

Eisen looked around the small house, quite happy with the structure itself. Though, it was still empty. Now, it was time for him to build the furniture.
