98. The Barrack He Chose

Carlos carried the Rare Reinforced Barrack Frame to every combat barrack before he made a decision.

The dark metal beams sat inside a heavy wooden case. He first stopped outside the Blue Water Slime Barrack and loaoked at its small doorway.

Thirty Slime Cores were still in his inventory. More Slimes would be useful. One and Two had already saved people more times than Carlos could count without making himself look stupid.

Then he went to the Bearkin Guardian Hall.

The new Bearkin was near the Training Yard, carrying shields between racks because Kaia had told him to. Brann was inside recovering and would only get annoyed if Carlos told him to rest again.

The Archer Lodge was next. Nessa had shown him how much a good Archer could change a fight. The new Archer watched the eastern boundary properly.

Every barrack had a reason for being there now and that was why he had taken so long.
