Chapter 39 - (39) Valhalla (1/2)

Geth was satisfied with the progress, he hadn't been gone that long, and someone always had to stay back to watch the children. ”How's the situation with enemy creatures or other people approaching?”

”I've only encountered Goblins out in the woods, mostly lower Levels with an occasional 10 or 15. As far as other people are concerned, we had a large group of individuals show up and demand entry.” She replied. ”They were all lower Levels. None were worthy of concern. I scared them off.”

Zolis looked proud at that last statement. Geth couldn't help but wonder what she'd done to scare a group of people. ”All right, have you added any cores to the terminal?”

”Those of us that have been out gathering have donated a few cores, but nothing substantial yet.”

Geth nodded as they walked through the barrier. He glanced around and saw a pile of materials gathered near the living area. The kids were chasing each other around with the toys he'd made a while back.

After walking towards the middle of the cave, he stood in front of the pedestal. He began pulling cores out of his Inventory Satchel.

It was a shame that he couldn't clean out the cores lying on the battlefield. Even so, he and Til had managed to gather over 160 Goblin cores on their travels.

He had also managed to grab the Level 15 cores from all 30 Goblin Mages. He couldn't have achieved that without Bruce's help. Touching the pillar caused it to project a screen and begin a prompt.

:Cores detected nearby. Dungeon experience is currently 21,445/100,000. Would you like to contribute? Yes / No:

Geth was quite surprised. He hadn't expected his family to earn so much in that time. He clicked the 'Yes' option floating in the air. The familiar formation started to branch out and light up. Cores began to disintegrate, causing the small mountain to slowly turn into a small pile of dust.

:Enough experience gathered to upgrade, continue absorption? Yes / No?:

'That's a nice feature.' He selected the 'No' option and stored the cores. Albus had told him they had many uses, and he was curious.
