After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1865

Chapter 1865: The Half-orc Villa (Part 1)

Alterra

The large Half-Orc Villa, located deep into what was now known as the Phase 1 area, was finally completed!

It took a while because the orcs kept wanting to put add-ons, adjust things here and there, and the like.

For creatures that claimed to be simple-minded, they sure did change their minds a lot.

For example, one day they’d ask the ceiling height to be adjusted. Another day, they’d ask to add a little pond. And another, to move that same pond to outside so-and-so’s window, apparently so they could jump straight there in the morning.

Not all requests were followed, of course, but that was the designer’s scope to explain.

It was either that a certain stage of construction was already done, which limited some changes, while some changes were likely ones they would not care for in the future, so the designer would explain them the functional pros and cons of such changes.

Fortunately, Brianna grew up with little cousins back in Terran and knew how to simplify her explanations, despite borderline using jargon.

To be fair, it also had to do with how the orcs’ worldviews expanded as time went on.

They wanted to build more rooms for more of their brethren, even those they had yet to meet, and maybe never would.

With the expansion of Alterra’s influence, more and more people from different places came to Alterra. Through them (and also because they were asking for news about their old friends), the orcs came to find out more about other half-orcs out there.

They found out that there were more orc varieties than they thought, much like how the battle pets terrans brought in were. The difference was that despite the differences in appearances, they were essentially the same species.

It was quite exciting, and the three made a conscious decision that they wanted to give fitting rooms to most types out there. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

More and more people were coming to Alterra. Lately, some new goblins did too, though they were mostly brought in as slaves from caravans, and then bought by the local goblins through fair means (and sometimes with some mild threats, courtesy of a human Alterran passing by).

Who was to say that the next caravan wouldn’t be bringing a half-orc with them instead? It was their turn to buy them off! The half-orcs were pretty rich now. They were very strong and capable, after all, and other than food and their home, they lived frugally, allowing them to save up a bit.

They worked extra hard when they decided on this intent. They would’ve taken loans if they could’ve, but they already consumed that to build their house.

Anyway, freeing more half-orcs was their hope. The fact that they kept adjusting to half-orcs who may not exist or even come to them showed how much they wished to meet them.

The lot was quite large, about three times the average lot size each mercenary team was allowed to have.

They were quite proud of it too, so when some of their human friends insisted they hold a housewarming party, they really did have one.

It was a potluck arrangement set in the large garden. They kept almost all the vegetation already in the lot, just cutting down the area for the actual structures and the training areas.
