Chapter 132
Im sorry about that, Ezekiel. The consternation in Livias voice was clear. They arrived a few days ago with some of their guild members and have been causing me headaches.
Dont worry about it. I shook my head as I watched the construct crouch back down and get lowered below the sands. The iris closed, leaving a bare spot within the sand. The porters quickly covered it over as they scooped up the remains of the players. They thought they could get something by being dicks. In a way they did, they got a quick death.
Unfortunately, theyll just be right back, Livia sighed.
They can directly come back to the marsh? I asked. I thought the nearest place of creation was a ways away.
It was, Livia agreed. But there is a way to get altars of creation to show up in different places. Its not simple to do, but its worth doing if youre setting up a settlement.
Really?
Yep, Livia said. Theyre not quite the same, and it comes from one of the builder classes sub-skills, and theres all kinds of requirements that need to be met for it to work, but I specifically hired someone who I knew had that skill and it was established just a couple days ago.
I see, well, hopefully theyve learned their lesson.
I doubt that, Raven snorted. They seem too stupid to know any better.
Both Livia and I barked out a short laugh. Your bluntness is sometimes just perfect, Livia said.
Anyways, I guess its time we get on with it since weve already been delayed this much. I began to trace out a circle in the smooth sand.

The process of out the ritual was quick. Livia paid close attention to how it was done, but I told her that even if she replicated the ritual itself it would still take a lich to run it. The only point of the ritual was to make the process smoother; I didnt actually need it. But the ritual would make it painless.
Its not as different as I expected, Livia said after a moment. The biggest differences are the resistances, like you said. Though I no longer feel tired in-game, I get weary with no need to sleep.
Yeah, thats to be expected. I know you dont have access to death energy, stamina is the same anymore. After all, stamina is life-based in a way.
Yes, Livia agreed, taking a drink of her beer, which had some healing concoction in it that she said did not affect the flavor. Its called power now. Though it acts the same.
I cocked my head to the side and thought. I had a glass of whiskey that had been made with holy water. Livia had previously asked what my preferred drink was, and the next time I visited, boom, it was there. I would investigate that. I feel like you should have more utility with it than you normally would, even if you are a melee type.
I shall, she agreed. Everything else, umm, works fine as well.
I sputtered, having just taken a sip of my whiskey. Ah, good. I guess.
There was an awkward silence. Anyways, that team that was giving you issues have been in the dungeon lately, they constantly complain about it but they seemed happy with the loot and experience theyre getting.
Good to know. I dont really keep a close eye on it anymore. The only teams I notice are when they get deep enough, I explained.
They say they could go deeper, but they dont. Livia rolled her eyes. Big talk from an annoying team and guild.
What did you say? a voice I recognized, much to my dismay, said from behind me. We had not noticed Larry entered the tavern. Id been too distracted by the completed building. For such a large and complex structure, it had gone up very fast, even accounting for the players with their special skills.
Not now, Livia sighed.
Whos your friend, Livia? Larry demanded. I didnt hear what you said. It sounded like he my team.
Ill catch you later, Livia. I knocked back my whiskey and got up to leave. I didnt want to deal with this asshole. For a moment, it seemed like he might block me, but he stepped out of my way. I didnt feel bad leaving Livia with him, she could take care of herself.
See you later Zeke, Livia said as I walked away.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
