Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 395: Selecting the Place to Build My Village

The other bank was at least couple of miles away from my place, and the bank I was standing at was narrow, had an ascending path towards the two huge walls on the side of the passage, before ending midway in the river, cutting the river course in the middle, creating some holes and turbulent waters around it.

"Let's go there," I pointed with my spear towards the nearest path, where my demon ran and jumped to be able to climb it. When we reached the top of this side, I could have a clear vision of the whole scene on the other side of the river.

And I liked what I saw there!

First of all the area there was strangely an inverted mirror to this side, where the bank of the river had a very wide open space, which ended in the distance with a route, similar to the one I came through but descending towards the horizon.

The two sides of the route were made of open area that seemed to end abruptly at some point, overseeing everything underneath it. from my place I couldn't spot anything clearly, but I managed to see distant forest on the flat lower grounds, with open spaces that seemed fertile with many green spots there.

"That place is really suited for me to build the village," I muttered, as this region would turn to become the defensive front of my village, while that route and opened lands behind would serve as a defensive back, plus an area suitable for future expansion.

"But how could we get there?" I muttered, as I knew that despite the river being cut in half by the two arms of the mountainous path, the other half of water was still there.

"Sigh, if only I have my balloon," I sighed with regret, recalling my destroyed balloon, or the one I used at the final battle.

I stayed there for a couple of minutes, and the more I looked at it the more I got convinced by what we should do.

"We should strengthen this stretcher and use it as a raft," I said the moment I returned, while meeting with Den.

"Are you saying we need to cross a river?" he asked with some doubt.

"Just make everyone work over the raft and make it tougher. Make sure to close the gaps with anything useful, best if it's not affected by water," I said before turning to leave. Den didn't know what to say, and I started to get annoyed with his frequent questions.

He wasn't my lord, I was his!

I stood at my spot, leaning my back over the tree while enjoying the sightseeing. There were some problems now, as from the looks of things, the sun shining here would go to sleep in a few hours, making us have only this narrow window to move.

The second was the problem of the huge pile of monster bodies, and strangely I started to feel hungry!

"You two start moving the monsters towards the place we just came from," I hurriedly shouted over my two dummy looking demons, giving them an assignment.

Despite not wanting to work, I had to make everything prepared. The raft was undergoing many modifications, a rail was added, the ground of it was now being filled with some sort of mud and smashed gravels taken from the ground.

Den and others were doing such a great job already, and so my demons had to do theirs as well, and I had to stay here and enjoy the scenery.

"What is the figure of my current hunger value?" After an hour I started to feel uneasy with this growing hunger, so I asked the almighty system which had access to everything.

"Ding Dong! You don't have such a thing!"

"What? How come? I'm feeling like I'm almost dying of hunger!"

"Ding Dong! That is the normal hunger normal humans have!"

""

I didn't know what to say, so I tried to look around, seeking for anything to eat. "Sigh, I don't know if things here are good to eat or poison," I shook my head while avoiding the grass and plants on the ground.

I raised my head to see that the tree had some apple-like fruits. I didn't hesitate to jump and caught a bunch of them, making them fall on the ground.

They were rounded, with an orange blue color on the exterior. I pressed on them, as each one was almost fist size; they were juicy and soft.

The next moment I put it into my mouth and took a bite, a really soft and amazing feeling entered my dry mouth with that sugary juice of this fruit that made me even gasp from the sweetness of its taste.

It was like heaven for me!

I didn't hesitate and ate the whole bunch of fruits, while keeping the seeds inside for later use. I didn't know what this tree or fruit was called, but I was pretty sure I fell in love with it from this single meal!

Just as I finished eating my first meal here, my demons returned and stood finally beside me, in an obvious indication that they completed their role.

"Den, are you done?" I asked, as an hour and half had passed, and the journey across that path would take another half hour.

"We're almost done," he replied as I noticed he was directing others to build a central mast of the raft! "Den, stop and make everyone leave now to the distant river," I instantly ordered, shattering the dreams of Den. "But why?" he asked with confusion, and I didn't care to explain.

"You, take that piece of large tree trunk and cut it into two halves, each for one of you. Then drag this raft carefully and head towards the river," I said, totally ignoring Den, before I started to move towards the river.

I wasn't a kind hearted person to babysit everyone, explain everything to them. Gosh, how much I hated such people, except if they were taking care of me of course, like Shin for example, and Rog to some degree, and Aria perhaps,  .
