After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World-Chapter 1128: New Town Buildings (Part 1)

One slot was reserved for the Pharmacy. Althea still had two slots left.

After a bit of discussion, they decided on the Post Office, which would used for fast communication.

Even if Ferrol Town wasn’t too far away and they could send Messengers from here to there and vice versa, fast communication could literally save lives so they didn’t want to be stingy with that.

They’d also have a lot more transactions with other Towns aside from Ferrol. They couldn’t send messenger birds there, right?

Not only that, considering the trends, more and more Alterrans were likely to expand their world, form caravans, and go on adventures—especially once the Mercenary Hall was built. In that case, Post Office wasn’t just convenient—it would be invaluable.

A Bonus: At the highest level of the Post Office—unlockable at city-level— they could send items too! There naturally were limitations, such as size and weight limits, but that would be really magical to have.

And so, two out of her three slots were decided on.

They thought and discussed it for a while, wondering what to use the last slot on—if they should use it at all.

Althea told them about the special buildings that would be available in the future, to determine whether they’d save the slot… again.

The people who lived with her were naturally aware of what she knew, but most of the other elders didn’t have that privilege.

For example, she told them about the Healing Sanctuary—which fascinated Volohov—a new building available at Level 2 Town.

Other than that, the other buildings at Level two were the Warrior’s Arenas, the Auction House, the Mercenary Hall, the Windmill of Fortune, and the Hotel.

She also told them of the pros and cons of each one. "Sadly, the Healing Sanctuary doesn’t seem to be a practical choice especially since we have such an efficient hospital—thanks to you," she told Volohov, who blushed and waved his hand around in embarrassment.

The others seemed to agree with her about which option was more attractive than the others. For one, for Level 2, only the Mercenary Hall was actually useful to them at that level—at least considering it would consume something as precious as a building slot.

To be honest, she was still amazed that the Training Hall was made available at the Village level.

For Level 3, she told them about the Trade Hub (which allowed the purchase and sale of items from/to afar), the Observatory, the Spring of Life, and the Enchanters’ Guild (which could enchant equipment).

As expected, they were most curious about the Trade Hub, the Spring of Life, and the Enchanter’s Guild—all of which had magic that was really beyond their current comprehension.

An instant-delivery shopping center? Yes!

An endless water supply? There was no such thing as too much water! Probably.

Magic Weapons Upgrade Building? Of course!

Anyway, for all three Town Levels, they were interested in only a couple of buildings. Since they could receive +2 Building Slots with each upgrade, they were not really lacking slots at all.

Althea found it kind of interesting.

Normally, the Lord of Towns would be struggling about which building they’d choose. The Ferrol Notes indicated how much of a stressful endeavor it was because there were so many buildings they wanted to have—needed to have—but could not due to limited slots.

Obviously, Alterra—which could build plenty of its own buildings—didn’t have this problem.

She looked at the elders. "I will give you all half an hour to think about your preferences and vote," she told them. "If you wish to save up the remaining slot instead, you may also indicate so."

…

While the Elders were deciding (possibly debating with each other), a lot of questions also popped up.

There was a particularly common one.

"If we merge with another Town, then we’d get some of the common ones, right?" Ansel asked, and Althea nodded.

After all, they got the Lighthouse and the Armory—among others—as options because they took Fargo and Guia as satellites.

"However, let’s not assume that’s going to happen for now," Althea said. She didn’t want them to be complacent and choose carelessly because they’d assume they could take over another Town to get their special buildings.

"Towns are of different levels, and the power of the Lords is much more integrated with the territory," she paused, looking at them. "Besides, even if we could get the token, I might not take over at all."

She only had one slot left to merge.

For now, she wasn’t planning on letting go of her current satellites. Even if they were just villages, the resources she could get through them and the convenience of having connected warehouses were too convenient. She could think about it when those resources were exhausted, but that was years away from now.

Another, they didn’t know the cost of detaching a satellite. From what they knew, it wasn’t cheap. At the very least, it was expensive enough for some Lords to give up merging with good territories.

Also, she’d want the territory to be a source of a sustainable resource—whatever they were. Otherwise, the connected warehouse wouldn’t be maximized—which would be such a pity.

Ideally, she also wanted it a bit farther away—at least a few thousand kilometers—to allow her to reach more area. After all, she had her own ’teleportation array’ inside warehouses. If she had them all in closeby areas, then how wasteful was she?

Ideally… that last slot would get her to faraway places and back…

She could have her adventures, all without having to worry about other lords peeking at her status.

Of course, she didn’t discount the fact that there would definitely be interesting and tempting Towns around. She’d keep her mind open but, more likely than not, they would probably strike deals with them, instead.

Anyway, after a long discussion, they ended up saving a slot.

At this point, only the Pharmacy and Post Office were decent choices in their standard.

Both structures would help increase the survival rates in the territory, and—for now—that was all that mattered.
