Names

"Great, now that all of you are here I can say what I needed to say" Adrian said as he looked at all the goblins and Verdant Wolves standing in front of him. Truthfully Adrian did not have anything to say at all; he just wanted to speak to the goblins who were now intelligent.

Thinking quickly Adrian thought of something "What is taking so long on the new room that we need built? It has been a few days and it is only halfway done!"

Adrian looked towards the crowd in front of him before pointing towards one part of the crowd "You, tell me, what is delaying the construction?".

One of the goblins he wasn't pointing at looked around before pointing at himself "You are asking me?"

"No I'm not asking you, I am asking him, next to you." Seeing the goblins confused as to who he was speaking to his eyebrow twitched before he said "The green one! I am talking to the green one!"

At this point even the Verdant Wolves looked towards him with a question in their eyes as if saying "Were you pointing at me master?"

Adrian facepalmed seeing how this situation was going nowhere before he said "Ok, all the goblins, line up, I am going to give you names." He quickly needed to fix this problem because calling them 'you' and 'goblin' was not going to work.

Standing in front of him was the first goblin that he had captured which he promptly named Gorbin. "Thank you master for the name!" Gorbin said as he sauntered towards the back of the line introducing himself to every individual goblin that was still waiting for a name.

"Hi, my name is Gorbin, what is yours?"

"Oh, you don't have a name? That is such a shame"

"Hi, I'm Gorbin, and you are?"

"Oh? No name? Don't worry you will get there one day"

Adrian ignored his antics as he continued to name the goblins that were waiting in line. The next one in line was the first female Goblin he had captured which he promptly named Goblette.

The next two were the strongest goblins being at 0 stars rank 4, he named them Gobble and Gobby. The next female he named was called Gabbie, and slowly but surely he finished naming all of the goblins.

He smiled because he was able to finish naming all the goblins with unique names, he even thought his naming sense was not too shabby either. He did not name the Verdant Wolves yet, because for one they would not be able to speak to him, and also because he generally did not give them individual instructions so he felt it was not needed.

He also attempted to cast [Bestow Intellect] on the goblins once more, but it did not work. From what he understood about the skill, he was able to only give living beings intellect equivalent to his own. So when he used the skill, their intelligence would rise to his level and that was it, it could not surpass it, but this was useful for animals that have generally only instinctual levels of intelligence.

"Alright! Gobble. Gobby. Go grab 10 of you, and the Verdant wolves and take them out to hunt. Try and search a wider area to see if there are any threats in the area. I want to be warned if there are monsters in the area again."

The goblins all looked towards the two who were pointed out with begging expressions, because they knew the ones who had to stay here would continue digging in the dungeon, and none of the goblins wanted that.

Gobby quietly pointed out five of the goblins to take with him on his hunting party before he led them towards the forest along with five Verdant Wolves.

Gobble laughed towards the crowd of goblins as he said "Ok, who wants to learn from this daddy?" He flexed his muscles a bit as he said "Don't worry naturally if you are in my party I will protect you!"

The goblins were all raising their hands wanting to be picked by Gobble and he picked out five of them before heading out in the opposite direction that Goblette did.

Adrian watched this then turned towards the remaining goblins with a sweet smile on his face "alright guys, back to what I was saying before about our expansion."

The goblins though saw that smile as if it had come from the devil as they began to sweat. They knew they would be digging all day today, 'Why were there no labor laws for goblins?' they all thought in dismay.

They grabbed their iron tools before they began to continue expanding the room that was in the back of the dungeon.

Realistically though, they had already made great progress because the room which was 'halfway done' in Adrian's standards was already two times bigger than the original room of the dungeon.

As for the fact that the goblins had not built any form of support beams to prevent the collapse of the room, that was nothing to worry about because the dungeon was able to reinforce itself with mana solving this problem easier.

This also meant that if any of the walls got damaged by intruders, they would slowly repair themselves without costing any DP. Same with any traps that were purchased with DP, if they were used they would slowly reset using the dungeon's mana.

However, for example, if he made a pitfall trap himself, the dungeon would not repair the cover of the pitfall, and he would again have to fix it himself because it was not purchased with DP.

Thinking of all this Adrian looked at his Dungeon stats

Dungeon: The Verdant Depths

Dungeon Level: Grotto (3%)

Dungeon Points: 502 (+10)

Subordinates: (1)

His Dungeon exp had gone up a bit, he knew the first few levels would be fairly easy to reach but the exp needed would grow exponentially and decrease his level speed extremely fast.

He also looked at his amount of dungeon points and was happy with how much he had gained from both the hunting parties, and the few dead goblins he had given the dungeon previously.

He began to search the DP Catalog for stuff to outfit his dungeon with.
