The law of Local ProcurementPeople were coming to Morata day by day. Visitors flocked to the north because of the scent of adventure and new quests.“Wizard, level 310. Skill set atmospheric magic, looking for a party.”“Come this way, Wizard nim”“I’m here!”“Identifier, level 296. I focus on traps but can also identify things for you.”“Identifier nim, I’ll let you take care of the items. Join our party!”“Since we got the offensive lacking Identifier nim, what quest do you want to get?”The town square was abuzz with people looking for parties.In every part of the north, new quests and stories were being born.So every Adventurer wanted to make the best of it!When they hunted monsters in some dungeon, the chance of them acquiring good items was rare. But here, some given quests can lead them to be the first discoverers of some unknown dungeon, where they will get double experience and the good items drop rate will also increase.Many of the adventurers gathered in Morata to find faithful compatriots to face the risks. And because of this, Morata became the most prosperous town.“Polearm! Nothing is more comparable than polearm in combat. A weapon that excels in attack and defense, this might be the last chance for you. Check its stats!”“Kadallina Dagger. The only weapon in his name. You can find out its value before purchasing……”Players were squatting in the town’s square as they waited for potential prospects to sell their stuff obtained through hunting. Precious items were sold to the players directly as they can get a better value than that from in-game shops.“Black Iron! Selling items made specifically through Black Irons. These were created by the Blacksmith Geam. These were made at the Intermediate levels and will blow anyone away. However, items are non-refundable after purchase! No guarantee future repairs for dents and damages.”
“Masterwork Shield production. Align yourself with a custom made shield from Paberu, whom recognized as a master craftsman upon reaching Intermediate level in Blacksmith.”
“Items that provides magic. I have from one day, three days, and a full week.”
From Blacksmiths to Seamstresses, Enchanters and Tamers gathered. The north was filled with erratic swarms of monsters and traps. Life crisis happened at every turn here, so naturally called for a great deal of demands on specialized equipments. The market for equipments and commerce developed rapidly, which called for various blue-collar jobs. Now, Morata’s name was widespread amongst users as a place to obtain and exchange things, and the adventurers have been endless.
“The land’s fertile and wide. Now we just need wheat seeds.”
“There must be somewhere in the mine.”
The farmers, miners, and grazers also came to Morata for the opportunity. The vacant land was cleared; and from the clearings, mines were founded. For those who found them, they only have to pay an estimated tax to own the land; so miners came and searched the land as adventurers in order to strike rich quick with a gold mine.
Morata was the north’s central city!
To be honest, it was flattering to call it that. The number of people deviate from the standard value for a population because it was low, it was also lacking in buildings. Nevertheless, the village was growing everyday as more and more people came to pass. Another part of Morata that was busy besides the adventurous warriors leaving were the producers; which were always can be seen working on something.
And the night life after the sun went down!
The once busy streets in broad daylight were completely abandoned. The main reason was because people were crowding at the Light Tower near the rocky mountain area.
“How on earth can this wonderful sculpture captures the human’s sensitivity so subtly?”
“It makes me want to get to know the Engraver more.”
On the other hand, for the warriors and mages, they hurried to the battle zone as soon as they saw the light.
“Let’s go!”
“To the hunt.”
They wanted to make use of the duration of the buffs from the sculpture as much as possible to hunt monsters.
Similar to the Eiffel Tower in France or the Statue of Liberty in New York, each symbolizes individually great city; Morata became famous and flourished through the Light Tower. The information was widespread regarding the subject; now many towns and cities knew of the Light Tower of Morata. Through its workforce, committed care for health, the city’s name further widespread. Many of the northern cities know of Morata’s achievements, but its Light Tower made it worthy of its recognition. That is the thing people recalls once they had a reminiscent regarding the north.
Another reason why the number of tourists never seemed to dwindle was that of its citywide development, thus the role of the Light Tower was even greater as the city’s landmark.
For those who traveled to Morata from Roseheim Kingdom, these were the words they exhale in exhaustion!
“Is this Morata?”
“The Sculptor Weed nim is the prince of this city?”
“I heard they give you porridge when you come!”
The village Elder ruled over Morata province in place of Weed’s.
“I want the town’s residents no longer have to go hungry.”
So he had the city go through a large scale development. The city cultivated the land with crops to relieve the food shortages. Since plants grew so well in the north, the once starving resident thrived and its population increased.
The investments to obliterate the vicious cycle!
Morata have clear another space of wilderness. Reclaimed land can be planted with wheat, vegetables, and plants. First harvest will be four months after which.
Clearing Area: 140,000 Py (1 Py = 3.3058 m2, so about 370 soccer fields)
Economic Growth: 7
Tax Revenue: 800 Gold per month
Grain Yield: 830% increase
In terms of investment, the income yield was inefficient. However, since Morata’s population was increasing, this sort of investment was well required. For the clearing of the fields, the village elder spent as much as 30,000 Gold in this project.
“The town’s buildings are too underdeveloped. Have to the increase the pride of the village residents by cleaning up.”
2000 Gold were given for street cleaning, and 260,000 Gold were invested to housing and commercial constructions. Numerous maintenances, and even a marble gate was built at the entrance of the village. For the pride of the people!
Morale of Morata’s residents is 89.
Sanitation and Health Status modified to Very Good.
Whenever adventurers visited the village elder’s home; in this case, Bantem, Kunta and Horeugan brought back things from monsters such as the horde of Barbarians they’ve hunted in Yodeum’s Evil Lair. In other cities, these materials could get them up to 200 Gold and around 30 Reputation points when handling them over. But in the Elder’s case, this too was also unusual.
“Oh, you did a great job. We, the people of Morata, will never forget your help.”
As the village Elder fussed over something seemingly was not big a deal, Bantem replied bluntly.
“As warriors, we’re simply doing as dictated.”
“No, no. You’ve helped relieve fear for us from these monsters of our troubled past.”
For Morata’s village Elder, as well as all its inhabitants, their fear regarding monsters was a bit unusual, as it was due to the fact they were harassed by a vampire clan in the past. That was why the elder was very fond of the warriors.
“You guys were given the task of taking care of things for our cherished and beloved residents, and I would like the exercise the power on behalf of our Lord. Although this may seem insufficient, I hope to take care of your expenses.”
Ttiring!
Reward for commissioned is 360 Gold.
Reputation increase by 46.
“So much money…”
“Please come back with more monsters. We’ll pay more.”
The village elder paid heartily!
In the Lord’s stead, he gave a lot. The 130,000 Gold Weed left behind dissipated quickly; so from then on, they heavily relied on the income tax as the revenue source.
The people of Morata revered the warriors that took care of the monsters, and the warriors, in turn, were rewarded with a large amount of fame. Thus, the village elder had to spend a lot of money, this caused the income tax to rise.
Then, on the part of the adventurers; while questing, they had to fork out their money to take care of their equipments, as well as money for food, and even paying for a room at the hostels.
As for the monsters’ byproducts and whatever else, they can be processed and remade into leather as well as other products; which caused the prices for the items to increase dizzyingly.
On the other hand, technology, agricultural, and industrial side of Morata were underdeveloped, everything except for the textile industry!
They grew and went on to creating excellent leathers and cloths, which merchants and adventurers bought readily even at expensive prices. This was the main revenue source for Morata.
Still, the village elder did not forgive the increase in tax.
“As thanks for being under the constant observance of goddess Freya, I’d like to make this donation to our brethren.”
“Ooohh, may blessing come unto thee.”
A significant amount of 5000 Gold was offered.
In addition, other cultural projects went underway. Even though guilds related to combat weren’t established, the artist guilds spared no effort to start up. Conferences, art shows, etc., money flowed through these like water. Day by day throughout Morata, variety of window displays, sculptures, and paintings grew into the thousands.
“Keukeukeukeu.” (laughter)
“The owner left.”
“Let’s fly. We are now free.”
Wa-1-yi, Wa-2-yi, Wa-3-yi, Wa-5-yi, Wa-6-yi, Wa-7-yi!
They were happy. Their exploiting and oppressing owner was in the world of vampires; although temporary, it was freedom. It wasn’t a paradise.
Cheoeok! (a choke.)
The first to spoke through the sound of the wings was Wa-1-yi.
“We have to indulge, but how!”
“Yeah.”
“I’m
