After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 848

They watched as the new guy carried the redhead in a direction, and for a moment Bart’s group was unsure of what to do.

Louie, on the other hand, prayed to the heavens for his very good boss.

Bart’s eyes twitched. "That guy…." he said. "Will he be alright?"

"Is he friendly to Gochi?"

"Yes, he said they’re family."

"Then, they’ll be fine," he said, shrugging. "Would you like to continue with your tour?"

"..."

"Continue the tour?"

"Well, yes, if you want," he said. That was what boss Fred would’ve preferred, bless his soul.

Of course, he was still worried for his boss. He looked at the aborigines’ whose attentions were on the direction where the half-orc went. "Should I guide you to the Guardhouse, then?" he asked, and they nodded immediately.

Louis smiled, relieved, and he led the way to the place, though their pace was quite brisk.

Baku was really conspicuous and there was no challenge in finding him. There were also plenty of people who looked badly at the tiger because of who he was manhandling.

However, they saw that he was only carrying Fred to the guard station so they held back.

Bart and the team soon arrived at the guard station, a two-story building with a large ’Guard Station’ signage at the top (with Terran language translation subscript just below it).

Now, the half-orc was staring down at three guards who were blocking the door. The three were staring at him guardedly, though they remained calm.

The fact that the system hadn’t thrown this guy to the prison was because there was no hostility. After all, Alterra was a place wherein people who make threats could get imprisoned even before they even did anything, if their intent was strong enough.

These were not privy to the aborigines watching in interest though. "I’m really curious how this will turn out," Sipa said, and the others nodded in agreement.

They continued to watch and realized that one of the guards on a standstill with Baku was someone familiar.

It was none other than Chris, wearing that regal-looking guard uniform that they found to be really aesthetic.

Bart looked at their guide and asked. "What is this place for, exactly?" All he could surmise was that they could somehow contact those outside via aether letters, so he assumed that there were such tools there.

Speaking of which, having more than a few aether letters in a village was already impressive enough. Bart knew there were only a few specific cities that sold such tools, and they wondered if this team somehow got connected to one.

How? Who knew. The most likely answer was that they somehow found a connection during the Ferrol Fair. Or it could’ve been bought from Pietro, who also had a couple of connections in cities.

Louie answered his question diligently and with a hint of pride. "The place where people can run to in case of trouble or if they have something to report."

"I see…"

Cities and High-level Towns have similar functions, though it was a special building. It was a small building where people could write reports that would be sent to the guards. It also had a minute function of very slightly hastening healing the mana of guards.

They had never seen it in a village before, so they mused it was a manual construction. Either way was very impressive.

"Well, it’s very well made," Bart said, and the others nodded in agreement.

Their chatter was cut short with a roar. Apparently, the standstill had been broken. "LET ME IN!"

"No," Chris said, and Baku looked at the three guards and the others inside who were also looking at him guardedly.

It was not his intention to fight, especially not in someone’s territory where he could really be held down. He just wanted to see Gochi and his temper got the better of him!
