6 Goddess Of Wisdom (1/2)

After we set up the appropriate defensive measures for the dungeon, Orai teleported us over to D2.

When we finally arrived, I noticed that it was a rather lively city. Gods, Dungeon Masters, Vendors, Mobs, builders, etc. were walking around the large, dimensional city. The city was also in the sky, with two islands connected to it by the use of bridges and mystical tree-like roots. I saw the currency of DP being exchanged in its physical form, which was golden coins with the face of a female Goddess on it. As I was taking in these strange sights, Orai began to talk to me.

”While we are here for the mattress, we need to start learning how to build a proper dungeon. Like I said earlier, the primary use of D2 is to gather knowledge and supplies. The first thing we should do is go to D2's premier library to gather that knowledge”, Orai said.

As we walked around D2, the architecture seemed to be a mix of Modern and Fantasy. It was pleasing to look at and seemed to made of a material that I was unfamiliar with. The City Of D2 housed Bars, Vendors, Libraries, Rest areas, Training centers, etc. that was made for the Dungeon Masters. We passed by mobs that I've seen in the Market and more powerful mobs that I had yet to see. Some of the vendors were actually subordinates of the Gods they worshipped since some of the souls were reincarnated from Orune. As we walked towards the bookstore, we heard various vendors marketing their products and services:

”Need A Mob? Give A Job! Hire some High-Grade Demons to kill even the most stubborn adventurer! Get a B+ Demon for only 300 DP!”

”Need Some Custom Walls? Hire one of D2's most trusted builders and make your dungeon the stuff of legend! Basic walls starting from 50 DP!”

”Want To Join In The Fight For Your Dungeon? Get some items to defend yourself! Bows, Swords, Magic Scrolls, and more are available for purchase! Starting from only 75 DP!”

There were many vendors marketing the different aspects of a dungeon. The items they made, compared to the marketplace, were either customizable or made by the vendors themselves. The quality of the vendor, evidenced by their assigned letter rank, usually influenced the quality of the items.

”We have around 470 DP so we should be able to get the books and have DP to spare. We should shop for things that can improve the dungeon”, I said.

”Yes. I wholeheartedly agree! After we get the books and the food, we will buy stuff for the dungeon!”, Orai said happily.

”Oi! That's not what I said! We aren't wasting our DP on food yet! Are you actually a foodie? Didn't you say the dungeon comes first?”, I said.

In front of Orai and I was the 'Premier Library Of Excellence', also known as PLOE. PLOE was a large, mystical structure, which looked to be even larger from the inside. As we entered the building, we could see that the bookshelves in the library reached towards the heavens. We saw what looked to be angels, demons, and fairies casually carrying the books above us while we walked to the front desk.

”I thought Demons and Angels hated each other? How are they working together in here?”, I said.

”Remember when I said that Dungeon Masters can be good or evil? The God Of War wanted both types of dungeon masters to have the resources they need to run a successful dungeon. The library employees also act as endorsers of their party since Dungeon Masters come to the PLOE to become knowledgable”, Orai said.

When we got to the front desk, we were greeted with a divine looking woman. When she looked up from her book, she began to smile.

”Orai! How are you doing! I heard that you recently came online yesterday! The books tell me that you are looking for something specific?”, the woman said.

”Jordan. This is the Goddess of Wisdom, Mera. She is one of the smartest people in D2 and the person in charge of the PLOE. She also oversees the selection of Dungeon Cores with the God Of War”, Orai said.

”Hidarus may be more brute then brains but it looks like he chose a good Dungeon Master. Not many Dungeon Masters lean toward the cute side...”

”Hey! Mera! We are here to learn how to build a dungeon! Not to hear some old Goddess hit on a Dungeon Master!”, Orai pouted.

”You're no fun, Orai! I'm only around 30 in Goddess terms! As for the books, I already have what you are looking for. They're right here”, Mera said.

Mera reached under the massive front desk and gave us three books. The titles and prices were the following:
