Priority Construction

Returning to the front of the Council Hall, Gu Xi noticed a stone statue in the open space outside the Council Hall. The statue depicted a warrior holding a Longsword.

The long Longsword held in the statue's hand is the sacred relic that Gu Xi obtained: the Sword of Courage.

"Is this all you're going to arrange?"

Gu Xi pointed to the Sword of Courage and then turned to ask Luna a question.

"Yes, this statue is quite well made, isn't it? I originally wanted to make it look like an adult, but then I thought, an adult looks much cooler holding a staff."

"It's nothing, I was just asking."

Luna's comment made Gu Xi blush slightly, a rare occurrence for him.

Then they went into the Council Hall.

As soon as he entered, Gu Xi felt a darkness before his eyes. When he looked up, he realized that Dimi was already standing in front of the Council Hall.

"Grown ups."

How did she get here?

Gu Xi glanced at Luna.

"There was a problem in the Middle District, no, the Demon Plant Zone. I was worried that something might happen, so I specially invited her to come here to oversee things. As long as the Council Hall is not occupied, Aryadovi City is still under our control."

Gu Xi then understood what was going on.

Dimi wasn't the type to run away at the sight of people. When she saw Gu Xi coming over, she actually took the initiative to brew Gu Xi a pot of tea.

After sitting down in the Council Hall, Gu Xi pointed to the map and said, "Next, we will focus on the two Core Building and the medium-sized buildings. One of the Core Building is locked to the construction of Magic Tower."

This suits me perfectly, since we are going to build Magic Tower anyway, and building it first would be very beneficial for us.

Now we need to consider another Core Building, and my idea is..."

"Barracks!"

Before Gu Xi could finish speaking, Dimi interrupted Gu Xi, "With Barracks, you can organize soldiers who are not under the command of leaders, and assign leaders to complete city missions to improve their levels."

Without Barracks, you can only watch the city descend into chaos.

It's alright now, you only have a small number of soldiers. But once you have more soldiers, you won't be able to manage them all by yourself.

The boss-level undead are a bit better; you can summon them after killing a few enemy bosses.

But the speed at which you acquire troops is what it is now, and you haven't really learned many of the spells that accompany your Summoning, have you? What level Undead Domination? Can you summon Zombie with Summoning yet?

"And you've also added Gargoyle. These aren't Summoning. It's manageable now that there are only a few, but how do you plan to manage them when there are more?"

Dimi asked one question after another, and Gu Xi fell silent. To be honest, Gu Xi hadn't originally planned to go to the Barracks first.

His idea was to take over the Blacksmith Shop first. The things that happened at the Blacksmith Shop in Loose Immortal Garden made Gu Xi realize that he was somewhat uncomfortable not having his own Blacksmith Shop.

Gu Xi thought that if he had a Blacksmith Shop and started training blacksmiths now, he would have manpower available when he needed to replace his weapons and equipment.

But he never expected that the Barracks were the most important thing for Aryadovi at this stage.

Gu Xi glanced at Luna and noticed that Luna was also nodding over there.

"Alright, after the Magic Tower is built, build the Barracks first, and then start building the medium-sized buildings. But before that, all the Auxiliary Building must be built for me."

Both the Demon Plant Zone and the Upper District have built Auxiliary Building.

The Upper District will still be decorated with chandeliers, while the Twisted Giant Tree will be perfect for the Demon Plant Zone.

As for Auxiliary Building, Dimi doesn't care. To put it bluntly, Auxiliary Building are just for decorating the city, and what kind of Auxiliary Building a city uses doesn't really have a big impact.

Besides, Dimi is still waiting for Gu Xi to build a medium-sized building so that she can quickly meet the prerequisites for her three main buildings.

There is no way that would hinder or prevent Gu Xi from doing so.

So Luna quickly agreed.

Gu Xi then glanced at the map showing the distribution of open spaces in the city and began to consider what kind of small and medium-sized buildings should be constructed.

While thinking about this, Gu Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Dimi. Among these small and medium-sized buildings, Dimi had priority in queuing for many of them.

Especially the Alchemy Laboratory, which needs to be upgraded to level 3. Gu Xi currently only has level 1 buildings in the city, and Gu Xi doesn't even know what is needed for the upgrade. Where is he supposed to find that?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn't help but press his temples. After dealing with things in Aryadovi City, it would be best to go and see Liu Kai.

If he can get one set of Building Blueprint, he must have other Building Blueprint from somewhere else. Ask him about them and see if he has any new ideas.

At the very least, he needs to find a place where he can buy or trade Building Blueprint.

Money is not the issue at the moment; the first thing is to have a place to sell it.

It would be a real problem if you had money but nowhere to buy it.

"My lord, are you tired? If you are, go and rest. There is no war in Aryadovi City right now."

"No need. I'm just a little unwell because my mana is depleted. I'll go to the Upper District first and see what's going on with the empty plots that can only be used to build Magic Tower."

Oh right, didn't you say last time that there was also a sacred object in the Upper District?

Because I rushed to the Demon Plant Zone, I haven't even had a chance to check on the Upper District yet. That sacred relic should still be Upper District, right?

"It should still be there. Speaking of which, I almost forgot. Sir, let me take you there."

Dimi became interested upon hearing this, "A sacred object? What is that? Something like the sword in the hand of the statue in front of the door?"

Dimi has been staying in Aryadovi these past few days and is almost turning into a street urchin, spending all his time idly wandering around Aryadovi City.

Anyway, there's no sun here, so going out for a walk won't hurt you from the sun.

So for the past few days, Dimi has been appearing wherever there's excitement.

It's fair to say that, apart from Luna, Dimi is the one most familiar with Aryadovi right now.

She had witnessed every change in the Aryadovi City.

It could be said that she would go over and take a look at every new street lamp that appeared in the city.

The City Council Hall of Aryadovi City was her most frequented place; she had noticed the statues that appeared there.

When Gu Xi mentioned that there was another sacred relic in the Aryadovi City, Dimi immediately jumped up.

"My lord, you have captured the Upper District, and I haven't gone to take a look yet. How about I come with you to have a look around?"

"Okay, you can come along too."

Gu Xi picked up the Cold Wind Staff and turned to leave the Council Hall. As he left, Gu Xi didn't forget to discuss with Luna the needs for small and medium-sized buildings in the city.
