Plans

The village chief abode wasn't that bad, it was cozy but small, but it had absolutely no furniture, guess the blueprints came only with the buildings and not the furniture. But thanks to some really dexterous and fast working Melves as Rezar had taken to calling them in order to have a clear distinction, there was enough furniture in the house to make it a little homelier than cozy.

Either way Rezar, Priest, Lenore, Gynaika and their new addition Alistair were sitting in various corners of the sitting room as they decided to have a meeting to decide which direction to take the village.

"I saw that Jason is back from his errand, did he find anything?" Lenore asked as she crossed her legs and looked at Alistair who was standing behind Rezar looking very nervous.

"He did, four and a half hours from here there's a fishing town by the sea, and its owned by the same merchant company that sent our resident prisoner to come scout this place. They have ships, both those made for fishing and those fashioned for war, and while there's no preparation of any sort, I envision they might be preparing for a clash with us soon enough." Rezar said as he removed a little bit of dirt from his fingernails.

"So basically we have enemies to the south, and to the east in the forest, amazing! Have you heard anything from the Goblin King yet?" Priest asked with a somber look on his face.

"The next base is a little farther away than Tetum's mounted division, both Neema and I don't have enough range with our undead telepathy to send a unit that deep into enemy territory for scouting. But within our borders, there's been no sign of goblins, though we did discover a small village of wood sprites. I'll just leave them alone for now since they're not a threat yet, but also we've discovered a dungeon, and its usefulness is extensive." Rezar said with a small smile.

"If It's a dungeon then that's really good! What's the level range?" Lenore asked as she sat forward.

"From Level 1 to 200!" Rezar said with a nonchalant shrug forcing everybody to take in a deep breath. It was understandable, every class, even when they upgrade to the next level has a level cap of hundred.

The first base would need 10 levels to jump to the next rank, the second 10, and the third will need 20. The fourth will need 30 and the fifth will also need 30 before reaching the peak, and then you can focus on a secondary class to keep on increasing your stats. Monsters don't have classes, they have levels.

Some are lucky enough to evolve after their levels get to a certain limit, evolution would reset the level count though making them start from one. But there are some monsters who don't evolve, or have evolved to the limit. Their levels would just keep on growing and so too will their strength, and the amount of Exp gained when they're defeated.

Dungeons were the only things in Elysium that dropped loots, not to mention dungeons were like mines or untouched forests, apart from the loots, and the rewards received for clearing floors. There were resources that could only be found in dungeons that can greatly help the advancement of civilization as a whole, not to mention a dungeon from level 1 to 200 was extremely valuable to any territory. You don't have make deals with others or travel far to use dungeons with higher leveled monsters, it usually costs a lot to use it and has served as a source of revenue for the power that owns the dungeon.

"you guys should not get too excited though, that dungeon is smackdab within the territory of a village of beast people, specifically the tailed foxes. I don't think they've discovered the dungeon yet, but its right in their territory. I don't need to tell you just how bad it would get if they claim it before us… but rushing on to another campaign at the moment will be too brash, I need us to place our focus a little bit closer to home for the moment. What do we need right now?"

Everyone got silent at that point, it wasn't as if there was nothing to say, but Rezar got the feeling that Gynaika, Lenore and Priest were competing with each other, as if to see who would give a lousy idea first. Rezar didn't like it, but for some reason he found it amusing, what's a kingdom without a little politics anyway. It was then he heard a cough behind him.

"Alistair it seems you have something to say, what is it?" Rezar asked him as he crossed his legs and placed his fist under his chin.

"I think at the moment we should try to be self-sufficient, so I suggest we place our focus a bit on farming,"

Rezar raised an eyebrow, and with the way Priest's eyes twitched that was probably the idea he wanted to bring up, but it doesn't matter who brought it up first, it was something they needed to deal with. Rezar looked at Alistair and nodded his head asking him to continue.

"I would like if you would let me take a few acres of land above the cove, the lands are fertile and I can draft up a blueprint for an irrigation system with purification abilities, not to mention I can also build and advance sewer system to cover the entirety of the cove, with enough modification that waste would be turned into energy that could be used in different sectors.

But that's just getting ahead sir, the thing is we have advanced farming techniques and if we can requisition the help of either earth spirits, wood sprites, fairies, dryads and wood elves, then we would be able to have bountiful harvest.

The technology we've developed can to a certain extent amplify the power of none combat spells and skills to a significant degree, we could grow food and open up trade to start earning money for the territory."

Rezar nodded his head, seeing the wisdom in his words and loving the ideas that he had just suggested. Honestly speaking his pocket would not be enough to carry the village for long, the best idea right now was to find a way to be self-sufficient. And it doesn't matter if it was in the real world or in Elysium, nothing sells better than food. And technology too.

"Alright then, lets focus on the farming for now, let's convene in a weeks' time, by then all the buildings should have been completed and the farming plans should have been implemented. Ill tweak the recruitment page to show that we have need for a specialist farmer or botanist, specifically wood elves, fairies, earth spirits, wood sprites and dryads. Lenore ill need you to draft of an extensive military plan, I get the feeling you have experience with that, Priest will help you. Gynaika…. just stay out of trouble would you, but do keep an eye on everyone in the village and make sure they're comfortable.

I'll take over the patrols myself for now, and see if I can scout both the fisherman town, the tailed fox village and locate the Next base of the Goblin King. Now Alistair? Tell me what you would need."
