Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 112:
Chapter 112 - Hearing
Woojin sat on the throne, and he surveyed the buildings he was able to build .
He would be able to build farms and mines as a means to gather Bloodstones . There were also grocery stores, restaurants, and cafe for the residents of the Domain . . . There were several dozen commercial shops one could build . There were also guard towers, observation posts, and even military facilities where one could train one's forces . There were a lot of variety of buildings .
“I thought one's forces had to be bought through Energy?”
<Barracks - Military Facility> - 1,000p
One can gather the troops one wants and train them .
After building the barracks, he just had to assign a trainer to drill the soldiers . Then he would have to send out a recruitment notice to all the Dimension to gather members to train .
The military facilities didn't only train soldiers . There were facilities intended to train monsters and other races . For example, there was the Wolf Training Center, and Elf Archery Firing Range . Moreover… .
“Huh huh . They even have this . ”
<Wyvern's Nest - Military Facility> - 3,000p
Wyvern lays egg, and it rears the young .
Growth : 90 days, Number : 1
The price of purchasing a Wyvern was 300, and this option was 10 times that price . However, it had an advantage of adding one Wyvern each 90 days without expending any additional Energy .
“Uh? Now that I think about it . . . . ”
Woojin opened the Domain Management Window to check the buildings he currently possessed . The castle had several buildings that was built by Bibi, but one of the figures drew his eyes .
Wyvern's Nest (12)
“Huh . I earned those for free . ”
The name of the Dimensional Domain was originally Wyvern's Nest . This place was their habitat and their roost . When this Domain was transferred to Woojin, he had inherited 12 Wyvern's nest .
Since his Synchronization Probability excluded parts of the original Domain, he probably lost couple Wyvern's nests in the process . He was quite fortunate to have twelve . He had earned it without wasting any Energy .
“So this is how I can maintain this place . ”
If one considered the wars to be never ending, than the Energy would be consumed very quickly . In the end, the Domain with insufficient Energy would perish . So how could several thousand Dimensional Domain be in existence if that was that case?
“Basically, one only buys troops through Energy during emergency . ”
Woojin immediately understood the system .
Energy couldn't be abused to buy your troops .
The amount of Energy one had was basically the amount of supplementary troop one could have .
The less Energy one had meant one's overall forces was weakened .
It was like using Internal Energy that appears in the Muhyup Novels .
“Let's buy couple of these first . ”
The makeup of the population depended on which military training facilities he would build .
“It's a little bit too risky to bring in humans . ”
Woojin didn't care, but he was worried about Jaemin, who was curled up inside his house . He didn't have the confidence to face humans . It was the reason why he wasn't returning to earth, so he couldn't let loose humans into his Domain right now .
After mulling it over, he decided to buy the barracks, which was a basic need .
<Orc Warrior Training Facility> - 1,000p
The space within the castle wasn't that large, so he had to plan out the city to accommodate for future projects . The castle was built on top of a mountain where the peak had been flattened . There were two pointy and knife-like mountains behind his castle, and the nests were located on these mountains .
When the screen for the Domain unfolded in front of his eyes, he decided to put the training facility at the base of the mountain with the lord's castle .
The sound effect of a building being built was heard, and since it was a basic building, the build time was quite short .
“Hmmm . Which one should I choose?”
He had built a training facility, but that didn't mean troops would suddenly pour out of the facility . Woojin looked at the list of trainers, who would be in charge of the training facility . He had no choice, but to expend his Energy to purchase a training instructor .
If he thought about the troops that would be trained by the instructor, he decided the initial investment was well worth it .
<Black Boulder Tribe Arak>
<Lonely Wing Tribe Ritin>
<Gray Light Wing Tribe Torooah>
“Uh?”
Woojin was familiar with Torooah’s tribe name, so he picked it .
<Torooah> - 900p
Gray Light Wing Tribe's Orc Warrior .
Trainable Specialty : Orc Soldier(3 days), Orc Warrior(30 days)
Simultaneous Training Number : 10
A red portal formed in front of the Throne, and a big bodied orc of gray coloring walked out of it . He had a thick ridge on top of his eyes, and his canines were protruding out of his mouth . The imposing orc looked at the lord .
“If you want to hire me, you will have to give me 70 points of Bloodstones every week . ”
Woojin grinned at Torooah's strong words . The Gray Light Wing Tribe was none other than the Great Orc King Kiba's tribe . He was glad to see their name, so he had picked Torooah .
“Do you know Kiba?”
“How does a new lord like you know his most honorable name? I was one of his henchman . ”
They hadn't formed an employment contract, so Torooah responded in a surly manner .
Woojin called for Kiba .
‘Come here for a moment . ’
When Kiba received Woojin's will, Kiba's body dissolved into black smoke, and he formed in front of Woojin .
[You've called for me . ]
“I think he's your old underling . Do you know who he is?”
[Goo-roo-rook . ]
Kiba took a step toward Torooah . Kiba was dead, so he didn't have any flesh left . However, he was a head taller than Toroohah . Kiba's large body was letting out a dangerous energy, and it was as potent as when he was alive .
It actually might be more sharper and tyrannical than before, because of the Death Energy . . .
[Do you know who I am?]
“A . . . are you really the Grand Chief Kiba?”
Toroohah swallowed his saliva, and he started eyeing the Death Knight in front of him . This caused Kiba to kick out with his leg .
Puh-uhk, kwah-jeek!
Kiba's shin impacted behind Torooah's knee, then he roughly pushed Torooah's head against the floor .
“Koo-oohk . W . . . why are you being like this . . . ”
As if he didn't have to hear Torooah's answer, Kiba turned towards the throne, and he looked at Woojin .
[He's probably a green novice . ]
“How do you know?”
[None of my underlings would dare look up at me . ]
“Kook . ”
Woojin let out a laugh as if he was amused by Kiba's words . It was just like Kiba to act this way . Torooah was on the floor shaking when Woojin asked him a question .
“Do you want to make a contract with me?”
“O . . . of course . You don't have to give me the monthly fee . ”
A light shot out of the Throne to surround Toorooah's body, and it was absorbed into him to make an emblem on his shoulder . It was a picture of a cat letting out a yawn . . .
<You've added trainable Classes for the enlisted! ‘Orc Soldier’, ‘Orc Warrior’>
“I'll devote my loyalty to you . ”
After receiving the Emblem, Torooah respectfully bowed to Woojin . He treated Woojin like his lord . Then he immediately went to the training facility to put out a notice to gather new recruits . If the orc vagabonds answered the recruitment notice, they'll be trained into soldiers soon .
Ten recruits could be trained simultaneously, so he'll have 10 Orc Soldiers in 3 days time .
He'll be able to have a force of 100 at the end of the 30 days Protection Period .
His initial investment was 1900 points, so there was no loss for him if he could get his hands on those troops . Unless the training facility is destroyed or Torooah is killed, the number of his troops would increase daily .
“What's this ridiculous emblem?”
Woojin used the Domain Info to find out the identity of the yawning cat .
<Alandal's Emblem>
He thought he had caught a glimpse of the flag on top of the castle walls, and it had a picture that looked like a yawning cat . . . He had thought Bibi planned on only decorating the place, but she had made the Domain Emblem into that . . .
“Eh-whew . ”
Woojin once again opened the Dimensional Store to look at the Emblems when his eyes bugged out .
“Why is it so expensive?”
These were simple pictures, yet the cheapest one cost 5000 points . The average price was over 10,000 points, and there were plenty that were much more expensive than that .
“Uh-whew . She spent all the Energy on this . ”
He had been curious as to what she had spent all her Energy on . He was sure she had used it all on choosing this Emblem . He looked through the catalog of all the listed items, and Woojin shook his head from side to side .
“It's full of luxury items . ”
These were luxury items that could be used to decorate the lord's castle .
The price was unimaginably high considering the effect it possessed . It was inefficient to use the points on these items . However, if he was a lord with a lot of excess points, he could see lords decorating the castle to make it look grand .
Afterwards, they would go to war to replenish the Points they spent . They'll try to plunder other Domains . The lords probably bought the luxury items first, then think about the cost later .
“Should I make some manufacturing facilities first?”
Woojin looked at the buildings that were associated with manufacturing .
There were various constructions capable of luring monsters in . There were baits, traps, and even Trees of Temptation, which gave off a pheromone .
Depending on which monsters one wanted to lure, one had to build different buildings or constructs .
Woojin planted several Trees of Temptation around the Domain . These trees attracted the Steel Boars, and the Gray Wolves . Then he bought a pile of Blood Plants .
<Blood Plant> - 30p
Plant that grows Bloodstone .
It bears one fruit a day, and if one doesn't harvest the fruit, the fruit continues to get bigger .
If an animal eats this often, they'll form a Bloodstone in their body .
After a day + 1p
If he harvested the fruit each day, he would earn 1 P . Moreover, he had no idea how much the animals ate . . .
Moreover, he wasn't sure about the price of 30 P . He would be able get his money's worth from a 30 day harvest, but he wasn't patient enough to farm Blood Plants . It wasn't in his nature .
<The Blood Plants are starting to grow in the Domain . >
The announcement notified his purchase of the Blood Plants .
These purchased plants would grow in the Domain without his supervision . It grew in a random manner, so it was hard to harvest them . He could do the work himself or he could keep gatherers on staff . However, he was very short on residents in his Domain right now . . .
“So this is why all of them chose to go to war . ”
It was better to go to war than gather Bloodstones through the manufacturing facilities . Also, there was a limit on how many Blood Plants one could buy .
<You do not have enough land to support any more Blood Plants . >
Woojin had planted 1000 Blood Plants .
He had consumed 30,000 Points, but he considered it an investment for the future . He had no regrets spending it . After 30 days, he'll get his money's worth .
Afterwards, he would basically be earning 1000 Points for free .
“Once I started spending it, I’m spending the Energy at a really fast rate . ”
He had only 70,000 Points worth of Energy for his Dimensional Domain .
The Total Energy determined the Ranking . He dropped from 1,317 to the rank of 3,212 . A mere 30,000 points had dropped him so much in Ranking . This meant a lot of Dimensional Domains were bunched up in Ranking .
“Well, this is terrible in its own way . ”
The 72 great lords weren't the only one aiming for earth . There were lords of lower stations, who possessed Dungeons . Every one of them would try to drill a Dungeon to Earth, and use it as a hunting ground . Currently, earth still had its army and civilization . They would be able to suppress simultaneous Dungeon Breaks, but one of the lords would inevitably break through .
Once that hurdle was overcome, earth wouldn't be able to stop the Dungeon Breaks any more . It was a matter of time before humans became prey .
“I shouldn’t have left Alphen alone… . ”
Wasn't earth on the same path of ruin traveled by Alphen? Woojin regretted not killing more of Trahnet's monsters . If he could have delayed Alphen from being taken over, then the Dungeons on earth would have probably Broke at a much slower rate .
However, he couldn't regret about the spilled milk .
Woojin emptied his mind, and his eyes gleamed as he looked at the various buildings listed inside the Dimensional Store .
“Well, let's see . Should I plan this out for real?”
Woojin pulled up the map to his Dimensional Domain, and he started to plan out his city’s development plan . During that time, one to two immigrants trickled in at a time as they came looking for his Domain .
*
Twenty days had passed .
During that time, the Dimensional Domain Alandal had gone through a complete change .
“This should be enough . ”
Woojin put away the Domain's map he had been looking at, and he stood up . He had spent 20 days inside the Dungeon, but only 5 days had passed in reality .
Woojin had left to meet his family every 4th day or 1 day in real time . He also had to meet with Jiwon to give an explanation about Jaemin .
The Alandal Guild's move was going smoothly, and they were in the process of buying all the buildings near the Seoul Station .
“Didn’t they say Melody arrived?”
On the 5th day, he received news that Melody had arrived with the 'document' in her possession . Woojin had been heading towards the Dungeon, when he switched his course .
“Should I make a trip to the National Assembly?”
Woojin let out a **** laugh when he thought about finalizing his revenge .
He wished Melody would arrived at his office faster .
