25 Chapter 25 - Improving the Town

"Well... You gave me a reason to fight, gave me a chance to do what I must supposed to do and gave me a chance to live as a normal beastwoman again. I pledge to you that I'll follow you wherever you go and be with you even if the world turns on you." Greta's eye shows a flaming desire of loyalty. This fight and having a second chance at life is enough for her as long as she sees her parents are safe.

Rize, Zeta and Precia showed a shocked face but a happy one. They thought she'd leave but she did not.

"Okay then. Release everyone here."

Greta's eyes was in tears when she freed her parents. A loving embrace and the warmth of her parents calmed her down.

"Zeta. Heal everyone of them."

"Got it."

Zeta casted a heal on every prisoner.

"I'm sorry sir for my selfishness but, where should we go after we leave this dungeon?" One prisoner asked and a couple of them agreed. "Mhm."

"You can be a part of my village."

The prisoners looked at each other with happiness.

"Okay. Let's go."

I gathered every single corpse of lizardmen ogres and goblin. "Harvest." A big pile of harvested meat of all of them appeared. "Put in inventory."

[You got, Lizardmen Flesh x1000, Ogre Flesh x200, Goblin Flesh x300]

[Harvest leveled up to Level 2]

[Harvest leveled up to Level 3]

"Let's go back."

All of them agreed and we walked an hour to get out of the dungeon.

I thought about soloing this dungeon using the key reward I got but... Not for now. They are all exhausted and we got prisoners.

When we went back to my village, I could hear the battles of Grien's group and Gaia in the distance. It seems they are leveling up seriously.

After a while we walked, we finally arrived.

"Ugh! Goblins!" "Not now! Help!" All of the prisoners were in shambles when they saw the goblins.

"Ah don't worry about it. Ortov!"

Ortov ran towards me. "Yes, my lord."

"These are the new residents of our village. Tell Grien's group and your group to treat them as your neighbors. Never attack them. Got it?"

"Yes my lord."

"Also build some houses for them."

"Got it."

"Are you sure those goblins won't attack us?" Greta's father asked. "We are weak and we cannot protect ourselves."

"Don't worry about it father. They are under control by Zieglind." Greta comforted his father.

"All of these?" Her mother asked. "But... There's so much here."

"Yep. He's amazing isn't he?"

"You all must be hungry. Ortov, cook these for me." I pulled out food from my inventory. "Serve everyone some food. Call back Grien and his group too. Tell him to take a break. And for you all, I need to go alone somewhere. I'll be back in 30 minutes."

"Thank you my lord. May your journey be safe."

"You sure?" Precia asked.

"Yeah. Just some shopping."

I left them all to eat peacefully and went back to Itz. I went in to the shop I previously sold some food.

"Yo."

"Welcome."

"Can we go outside? This might be a lot."

"Let's just come to the back."

We went to the back and I laid all of the flesh of goblins ogre and lizardmen.

"This is all of it."

"Are those ogre flesh? Wow! Skinning an ogre is insanely difficult. How did you get them?"

"Secret."

"Heh. And that's a lot of lizardmen flesh. How much do you want for all?"

"30000 gold."

"What... You must be joking right? Most I can do is 1500 gold."

I didn't know the price so I made an insane amount.

"How about 2100 gold?"

"1800 gold?"

"2050?"

"Hmm..."

"2000 gold. Final deal." I reached out my hand for a handshake.

"Okay deal. You are one hell of a guy to make me accept that." He shook my hand.

Might be of my charisma passive.

Since I got an additional 800 gold from the idiotic raiders that invaded us and this 2000 gold, I have 3900 gold left in my pocket.

I went back to my village and see them all still eating. Grien returned with Gaia with a cage on his back.

"Oh... Nice haul Grien."

"Ah. Greetings my lord. These are the only goblins we found. Its 22 goblin builders and 5 cartographers. And also. We might be rude to ask but... Can you please tame these wolves for us?" Several wolves were standing behind them enough for them all.

"Haha. Don't worry about it. But this cartographer must be nice. Okay. Enslavement."

Wolves >> Guard Wolves

Goblin Builders >> Goblin Craftsman

Goblin Cartographers >> Goblin Deciphers

Goblin Deciphers? Maybe if I find a valuable artifact that I can't read. I'll give it to them.

"Pass the ownership of Guard Wolves to Grien's group."

[Ownership passed.]

"Goblin Craftsmen, join Ortov's group. And for you Deciphers... Join Ortov's group for now. Draw maps in this area. Ortov build a seperate house for these Deciphers complete on what they ask for."

"Got it." Ortov hurriedly commanded his team to start building.

"You, I'll name you... Lim."

"Thank you lord."

"Do you know any locations here that has good items?"

"Well there's an artifact near our forest. There are about 13 of them. Its a lot yes but the levels required are insanely high."

"What's the lowest and the highest?"

"The lowest would be Level 40 minimum and the highest is Level 90."

"Oh wow. Okay. I'm going to make some preparations first then I'll think about if I want to go there."

I walked up in the middle of our village and casted, "Healing Totem!" A small totem erupted from the ground. "I just need to feed this mana right?" I put my hand near the totem and redirected the mana towards it.

[Tier 2 Acquired]

Its just like Fredo's totem size. Well it seems it will live indefinitely as long as it has mana in it.

I walked up to each corner of the village and planted two towers each. "Lightning and Fire Totem!" I then redirected my mana towards it and they both reached Tier 2.

"Set the activation for totems to be confirmed by me, Ortov and Grien."

[Tier 2 Acquired for all Totems]

[Lightning and Fire Totems activation can now be activated by Zieglind, Ortov and Grien.]

"Uhh... Tomorrow I'll be gone for a while. Precia, Zeta, Greta and Rize, protect this village and help Grien's team to level up."

"Are you sure about this?" They asked.

"Yep. Just for a day."
