Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 432: Returning to the Village

"They all are," the giant said before adding, "but dealing with them alone would be difficult."

"And expensive," I sighed before adding, "Alright, let's go back now," I turned towards the distant Eliza as I waved my hands to her.

"Alright, master," the giant said, and the next moment I received a message from my system.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations on gaining a giant as a new species to follow you. Despite being expensive, you did great to tame him. You gained one hundred thousand pearls, plus an option to hear an answer for free from me."

"Tsk, you didn't give up over that merchant and coin thing, right?" I shook my head as my system seemed quite fixed on this issue. "Alright, bring it on. Say what you wanted to say a long time ago."

"Where are we going master? And were you speaking to me?" and the giant asked.

"No, it's quite a habit of mine to speak to no one," I smiled, embarrassedly thinking what others thought of me. "Go after that vampire," I pointed towards the distant Eliza who was coming nearby.

"Alright, master."

"Is everything alright?" and Eliza shouted from far. This coward! "Yeah, lead the way to the village," I shouted back while my system started to speak.

"Ding Dong! The coins are a very important basis for your foundation. Without it, you won't be able to organize trade or sort the lives of your subjects.

A good ruler is a wise ruler, so you need to start thinking about choosing and making up your coin and currency system fast!

To establish a currency, you need first a rare ore that would hold the currency value and keep it unchanged for a long time. You also need to choose an ore that's not easily found and then you can start making your coins out of it.

To make a coin, you will need a design first. The more unique your design is, the better it will appeal to others outside your village.

Coin acceptance around the world is an important issue you need to take care of. So, you need to find a way to make your rivals use your coin.

There is a rare ore nearby, and there is an old design buried inside the Golam city. You can have them both at the same time if you started moving now.

I can provide you with a map for the location of both, yet I think you don't need me to tell you about the place of the Golam city, right?"

"Sure, I know where it lies," I said before adding, "provide me then with the map to the ore."

"Ding Dong! One thousand pearls are deducted successfully. Thanks for the help and generosity. The map will appear inside your inventory, and you can ask me anytime to highlight the path to it anytime."

"You" I was greatly startled by this sudden deduction, "didn't you say this tip is free?" I shouted at this shameless system.

"Ding Dong! The tip about the coin is free, yet the answer to your question about the map isn't!"

"Tsk," I shook my head, lamenting my carelessness for falling in this system's shameless trap. "Alright, what's done is done anyway," I tried to console myself. "At least I got the map to that ore."

I took the map out, and inside it I found the drawing of my village's location. There were areas highlighted in red color. "This" I was speechless for a moment there, "this ore lies just directly next to my village!"

"Ding Dong! Yes."

"You bastard! You took a thousand pearl for this sh*t?!!"

"Ding Dong! C'mon, you wouldn't have figured out on your own if I didn't tell you! Your men searched these places and found nothing there!"

"You" I couldn't refute its words, as they were true.

My people searched and didn't find any ores around the village. The thing was that these places were just next to my village! How could they miss that!!

"Ding Dong! The ores are deeply buried inside the ridges with no visible or superficial veins."

"That's the reason," I shook my head before adding, "anyway, thanks for the costly help."

"Ding Dong! Any time."

That shameless system was really enjoying fooling around! I glanced again at the map before returning it into my inventory.

The road back went smoothly as I didn't need to do anything except for eating some bruberries along the road. Eliza was speechless and shocked through the entire journey back, as she kept glancing at my giant from time to time.

This giant was really GIANT! Over his shoulders I had a clear view over the entire region for miles ahead.

We took half a day to reach my village. When we neared it, many noticed my giant from far, and all the vampires, demons, and armies stationed there seemed to be alerted.

For me, I saw them as minute dots moving on the distant ground. "Sigh, you are really mighty," I smiled while picturing him pressing over any of my enemies and devastating them.

Forget about his arms and his stone ability, even stepping over them would be enough!

"Eliza," I shouted, "go and make them more settled."

She nodded and went ahead before I said to my giant, "you will stay on the side for now."

"There or there?" he pointed to the east and west of the village.

"There," and I pointed my spear towards the distant wilderness. "You will stay there before I summon all my armies," I smiled before adding, "it's time to invade that Golam city."

"Alright," he shrugged, and that was enough to throw me off his shoulders! "Watch it! I'm still here!!"

"S- Sorry master," and he apologized, seemingly afraid of me.

Eliza went there and it seemed what she said shocked everyone. I noticed some vampires coming from the ground towards here, cautiously flying until they spotted me on the shoulder of this gigantic being.

And Enly was in the forefront of them.

"Wow, you made it!!" she expressed her shock the moment she reached me.

"Yes, thanks to you," I smiled before adding, "by the way, can you store up his blood?"

I knew she asked for him to be their sheep, yet he was so valued by me right now. So I need to find another way to help them without forcing him to stay here all the time.

"Well" her face showed how difficult it was, "if we managed to build the vampire lair, then we can do it."

"Perfect," I smiled before glancing over the inventory to find this scroll lying there calmly and untouched yet. "Take this and start building," I threw the scroll over to her, and she hurried to catch it.

"Thanks," she said before adding, "where will he live?"

"He won't stay here for long," I said, as I remembered what I wanted to ask of her, "send vampires east and west, assemble all my armies."

I paused before adding, "I have many monsters as well, led by a giant elephant with a sharp needle-like trunk. Send a message for them too; all must assemble at the plains, in front of the path leading to my village in less than six hours from now."

"A war?" she asked, before adding, "shall I prepare the vampires?"

"And the demons," I replied, "assemble everyone.

"Big war?"

"Indeed."

"Great," she replied before going deeper towards the village.

The giant didn't need much but only one step to cross the river. Then I asked him to descend me, before he jumped over the mountain side of the path and went directly towards the wilderness.

"Tsk, big guys, tsk," I shook my head while heading back to the village.

Things needed to be arranged there, the ores issue and building the lair came on my top priorities now.

"Welcome back, my mighty lady," and as I reached the doors of the village, Jack was waiting there for me with Enly.

"Have you received the blueprint?" I asked.

"Sure, and now we are amassing the ores and workers and will start building it there."

He pointed to a side outside the village wall. "Outside the village?" I asked.

"Sure, the lair is really huge."

"Good," I nodded before taking the village tokens I had, "use these and build more villages around this one."

"Should I put the lair in one of them?"

"Good choice," I liked what he proposed. "Also amass many demons and make them dig under these two giant mountains."

I pointed to the area where it lined the path.

"There?" Jack asked in confusion, "but we already scouted there and found nothing."

"There is," I confidently said, "just make them dig deeper, too deep and they will find the ore."

He noticed I was so sure of my words, so he nodded before asking: "Special ore perhaps?"

"Good guess," I laughed, "it's a very important ore to me and my village. One that will be used later to make a coin."

"A coin? Really? That's huge!" he seemed excited, with no viable reason to me.

"Go and finish these tasks fast, and make sure the lair would take your full attention. I want it done in six hours."

"Six hours?!! That's too short!"
