Chapter 36

Shopping for Experience

Bal’daz and Sam talked all throughout the strange and magical process of folding up the tower. The Wizard did it as a matter of course, like it was no more mundane than folding up his clothes and putting them in a suitcase.

Which was just about the size of the tower when Bal’daz was done with it.

He carried it with him as they returned to the settlement. Bal’daz looked at the hastily put together workshop and clicked his tongue dismissively. Then he looked with considerably more interest at the dome.

“That, however, is not too badly put together,” he told Sam. “It is at least structurally sound. That.” He motioned disdainfully at the workshop. “Is a veritable death trap. And you say you are crafting in there? No, no. This will not do. I will make this my top priority, yes?”

“Suits me,” Sam told him. “We already have a decent place to sleep, but if you could make us a workshop, that would be great.”

“I will make you a [Workshop],” Bal’daz said, and Sam could hear the emphasis. “Here is what I will need….”

Another list of ingredients was rattled off and Sam would have committed them to memory if not for the quest that popped up:

New Kingdom Quest: My First Building

Your settlement has gotten by with determination and grit, but now you have the opportunity to build something that lasts. The choice of your first building will determine the rewards given by this quest as well as the quality of the building itself.

Meanwhile, Komachi got to work setting up her shop. Chompers spat out some items onto the table and the Merchant waved her paw over the stock.

The rel price hovered over each item in emerald-green script.

5 rel for a [Demon Ash Pile], 7 rel for a set of [Hellhound Fangs], 2 rel apiece for [Nature Crystals], 3 rel for [Moss Cushion Patches] and 10 rel for other crafting materials. Ore were all on the same price point as the green, blue, and red herba.

There were a few obscenely priced items, but Sam figured that was just Komachi being Komachi.

So far, the Merchant hadn’t charged Sam for any ore she gave him, but her means of gathering materials literally cost money to do. It made sense that eventually she’d have to start charging for her services, and putting price tags on them was one way to do it.

Sam had to ask for the list again because of the interruption, which the demon gave without the slightest hitch.

“Where would you like to set up your tower?” Sam asked him.

“I prefer to face the sunset if possible. Would that be okay?”

Sam took a moment to orient himself and then pointed. “Over there would be fine. If you’d rather be farther away from the workshop, then you might want to get nearer to the wall.”

Bal’daz took a moment to think about that. “I think being next to the wall would be a splendid idea. I will be out of the way, and
