The pack began to spread out through the Clan compound, examining the buildings left behind.
"They even left all the supplies in the restaurants. I think that they just took the valuable resources and abandoned the city. We could set up a whole town today, just using what is here," one of the female Elders informed them as she bounced her grandson on her hip.
"That’s a good sign. Karl, were you going to claim this spot for the Darklight Host?"
Karl nodded. "I need to clear it with Clan Leader Nerissa, but I don’t think it will be an issue. It’s within the training area of the New Home, so the members will likely stop here on their trips.
It will be good for everyone, and it encourages more members to get out of the compound and make the trip.
You’d be surprised the resources that you can find when you’re just wandering through the woods."
"Especially when you’re an Avatar of the World Dragon." The Pack leader agreed.
"I think that we have all agreed that this spot is better than where we were. If you want to contact Clan Leader Nerissa, we can hammer out the final details. I know her, and she shouldn’t give us trouble about moving in here.
She already allowed a Clan to be here, and they weren’t even allies.
Now that there is an allied Pack here, I think she will actually be relieved. The fact that it’s affiliated with the Darklight Host, who is also in her Clan, should set her mind at ease. Just be prepared for her to pressure you to keep giving her goodies for the warehouse."
Karl laughed. "I’ve got a lot of Clan Credits."
Elder Blackwoods smiled. "I would imagine that you do. Splitting time between the two locations could become a bit of an issue, I suppose. However, if you’re not looking to actively manage this place, and are willing to leave it to the pack, that would make the New Home happier."
Karl nodded. "Actually, the branch office that I am technically leader of now, I haven’t lived at for some time. I just arranged the craftsmen and then moved to be closer to the dungeons.
That would work just fine here as well.
It would let the branch keep the Guild Skill that I can provide, and I’m sure that the Pack wouldn’t be too mad about being volunteered to run the place. There are businesses already prepared to open, and once I start teaching all the new Guild members trade skills, they’ll have plenty to sell."
One of the younger members, a girl in her late teens, raised her hand to ask a question, as if she was still in school.
Actually, she might have been.
"Sir, why would you put so much investment into a Pack, just because they accepted a Guild invitation?"
"Because the associated Guild Branches get a cut of your sales. A flat five percent, all sorted by the System. Having more productive members keeps things running smoothly, and lets the young Immortals grow even without going to the dungeons constantly.
If there isn’t enough to find in the woods? You can fall back on a crafting skill, sell a few items, and get what you need.
I’ve sent a message to Clan Leader Nerissa, and once she arrives, we can talk about selling the items your Pack makes to the New Home’s warehouse."
