Chapter 233: Obelisk

"I see," Geth remarked. "So, I have to use merit points earned by the people of the city to purchase the blueprints for other structures from the Tower. That correct?"

Larz nodded, "Yes. However, you shouldn't be discouraged."

The elf showed Geth another menu and allowed him to scroll through it. He looked over it with interest.

There were hundreds of Level 0 blueprints available for purchase!

The list went on and on. Geth could see that the three buildings which cost 50 Merit Points were highlighted in red.

"Am I to assume that these three at the beginning are necessary before doing anything else?"

"That is correct."

Geth backed out of the Menu and pulled up the reward screens for finishing the Local Formation.

***

Congratulations User, on being the second to firmly establish a foothold in these new lands. As your reward, you may choose from the following:

"Larz, what's the difference between rarities in Blueprints?"

Larz pulled up what looked like a help screen in front of the group but still read the information aloud.

*Sigh*

"It seems like we have an entirely different system that we have to learn now. Has everyone been listening?"

Geth turned and looked at the others.

"Yes."

"Got it."

"Understood."

"I mean, it's definitely more complex, but it is similar to what the old mobile games would be if you had to leave and collect the resources yourself," Sindri added.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Is there anything else we need to know, Larz? I would like to rest this evening and then start first thing in the morning. At least we won't have to leave for weeks at a time."

Larz waved them away, "We can handle the rest as you come across it.

The other important information won't be necessary until you've built everything you need to Level 1. Just make sure you recruit plenty of crafting Classes."

"Easier said than done, but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you, Larz."

Geth and his companions left and headed to their homes or to see their loved ones.

He took the kids around and explained each of the Barracks' locations to them. He even told them about each of the Boss Monsters that had to be dealt with for each of them.

"Dad, what Level are you now?" Stark asked.

"I recently hit Level 55."

His son got excited, "Did you get to pick another Talent for your new Class?"

"Once you get over Level 50, you no longer receive Talents every five Levels."

"Really, Dad?" Parker asked.

"Yes, really. So you better choose yours carefully while you're Leveling. Looks like you only get ten freebies."

They continued to walk until reaching the Barracks that came with the Direwolf Dungeon. It was called the Wolf's Den.

"I kind of like this place," Geth muttered.

Elsa's eyes lit up, "Dad! I want to go pet the wolves!"

The Direwolves who had followed him in seemed to have naturally migrated to this area. He hesitated until the white she-wolf saw the group and walked over.

Her tell wagged as she bent her head down to nudge it against the little girl's hand. Geth was especially surprised when she reached out her paw.

"Go on, take it. She'll be able to talk to you."

"Really?!"

Elsa didn't hesitate to grab the wolf's paw. Geth could see the Mana passing between the two as they communicated.

After some time of his daughter giggling, the she-wolf knelt. The little girl jumped up effortlessly and straddled the wolf's shoulders.

Geth could see that the boys were jealous, so he summoned Kane to give them a ride.. He spent the rest of the afternoon watching them run around and ride on the backs of the different wolves.
