Chapter 119 - (119) Questions And Answers (Cont.) (1/2)

”Are there any other questions on job positions or training? The list of needed jobs and available positions will be posted before the day is over.

I expect each child between the ages of five and eighteen to choose a job they wish to study. I'll also expect each of the adults in those positions to take on one to two apprentices.”

Geth looked around to see if there were any more questions before moving on.

”The next order of business is to explain what the future holds and why I am being so strict. Edge should have kept his mouth shut until I'd gotten to this point.”

Geth's face became much more severe as he thought about what was coming. He decided it would be best to tell the people now so they could make an informed decision.

”In six months' time, the protection that the Dungeons give will fade away. Hordes of monsters will push try to push into the Dungeons and kill those residing there.”

Gasps sounded out from the crowd and his party members that he hadn't spoken with yet.

”The walls that are surrounding this unbuilt city can provide us with an extra year to prepare. We need to make sure not to waste any of that time.”

A light shone in many people's eyes as they looked at the high walls surrounding them. The people gained a new appreciation for the place and the man who owned it.

”Once that time is over, the beasts will come in waves. They will start small and become progressively more challenging to fend off as time passes.

It will take a solid community to survive the issues we will face in the future. On top of that, we will need mighty structures and defenses that can help us stay alive. Any questions?”

This time, almost every hand in the crowd was raised. Even some of Geth's party members had questions to ask.

He pointed to Hulk first.

”Does this have anything to do with us needing to conquer the last three Dungeons in the Region?”

”Yes, it does. We can not open the Tower until all nine Dungeon Crystals are set in place.

Once the Tower is open, we can build and upgrade defenses. Along with that, we can build slightly more modern crafting buildings, farms, hunting grounds, and other amenities.

Our quality of life will never go back to what it used to be. Still, we don't have to live like cavemen, either.”

Over half of the hands in the crowd dropped as he finished. This time, he pointed towards one of the men from his old neighborhood.

”Will there be rewards for fighting?”

Geth smiled, ”Of course, there will be. We will be working on a merit system that will act as our source of currency in the city.”

He thought for a moment and then added, ”I also plan to introduce a physical currency as well. It won't really be helpful amongst those living here.

I do feel, however, that as other Regions build up their own cities, a similar currency will eventually show up. The coins will be different qualities of Monster Cores that have been reformed.”

The man seemed satisfied with that answer as he put his hand down, along with some others. Geth pointed towards another man in the group.
