Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 426: The Giants!

"Ding Dong! Congratulations on gaining two new species! Nine thousand and seven hundred werewolves swore allegiance to you. Twelve thousand vampires have now become your subjects. Per this great outcome, you gained twenty five thousand pearls as a reward, plus a werewolf breeding blueprint, and a key to a hidden realm in this world."

I was about to explode on it for giving me only twenty thousand pearls, yet when it talked about the key I paused. "What key? What realm?" I asked.

"Ding Dong! Deducting one hundred pearls, thanks."

My eyes twitched, yet I didn't speak as I wanted this answer. As for this extravagant price this system kept rising; I would leave this fight for another time.

"Ding Dong! This world has many remnants of the worlds that formed it. These are places filled with ruins, dangers, and many opportunities. The key will open a portal for you to enter at any time you want."

I roughly understood what this hidden realm meant. "Alright, give me the key!" I was about to ask where the key was; yet I changed it to the order. Better to look arrogant than to lose pearls!

"Ding Dong! It's already in your inventory, genius!"

I glanced over my opened inventory, feeling much surprised for me to get used to its presence.

Instead of my vacant inventory that I started with, this one of mine was very crowded with many things. One of those was the key.

It was a bronze big key. I took it out and examined the inscriptions and engravings over its surface. It was so big that I can hold it as a short staff!

I didn't know why, but this reminded me of the necromancer short staff.

"My lord, will you stay here?" suddenly Jack said, distracting me from my own thoughts. I stored the key before turning to glance over the situation.

The place was finally secured, the earth was filled with my ground armies, and the sky was covered with my flying vampires.

"Send a word back, send every single one capable of extracting ores to here," I said to him before adding, "and I will leave a garrison for you to defend the miners.

"All this for this mine?" he strangely commented, "my lord the mine is really big, yet I believe it won't last for a couple of days if all of the villagers came to aid."

"Who said anything about extracting only this mine? I want you to take a tour and extract every single mine around us."

Jack looked hesitant before he said: "What about the village? Things will stagnate there until we return."

"Don't worry about the village, I will leave someone capable to lead until your return," I glanced at Enly before adding, "I can entrust the village to you, right?"

"An empty village? This is nothing!" she replied in her usual arrogant tone, yet when she noticed my fixed gazes at her she hurried to add, "b but I will do it of course."

"Good," I nodded before turning to Jack again, "you did a great job back at the village, yet everything was built out of wood."

"Because that was the only available source for us."

"I know, and now I'm going to change this," I chuckled before adding, "before building anything more in my city, please do your best to collect every single scrap of ore you can find and bring it back to the village."

He wasn't on equal terms with me regarding this, like my system. I didn't blame him, as I was pretty sure the system was still playing its dirty tricks from the shadows.

"Sure, I will do my best," he replied and then I gestured to him to leave. He returned back to his leading group, where Meck was there.

"My lady, may I speak about an issue?" Enly spoke, making me realize something. "the blood problem?" I asked.

"Yes, my lady is wise. We can't survive without blood, and it seems my lady is trying to expand her control over the region. We can find some blood for us in the distance for now; yet this would be a problem in the future."

She wasn't stupid! I liked that. A far-Sighted person like her would help me in the future. "We need to secure permanent blood for you. Is there any cattle or animals we can breed?"

"Animals?" she muttered before adding, "you mean monsters?"

I sighed, as it seemed this world was so harsh that animals wouldn't be able to survive.

"Ding Dong!"

"Don't! I know, the market has it, right?"

""

"Tsk," I then turned to Enly, "then is there any kind of monster out there, with enough numbers to sustain yours. Monsters which can't be tamed or controlled by any means?"

Enly's red eyes shone as she said: "There is of course one kind of monster, yet no one is foolish enough to come near them."

"Why is that?"

"They are the giants, The Giants!" she spoke like she was speaking about something I should be aware of, and intimidated with.

Yet my plain reaction gave her a reaction she wasn't expecting.

"You my lady doesn't know about the giants?"

"No, who are they?"

"They are giants. Gigantic bodies, thick skin and much thicker skulls. They are famous for being dumb, with poor minds to understand the simple logic of us. Yet they are strong and had great numbers, living in packs.

No one is foolish enough to get closer to them, not even to intimidate them."

My interest was instantly piqued! "Are they like my giant?" I said while pointing my spear to my demon.

"This?!" Enly sneered before laughing. "I'm sorry, my lady, but this can't even be considered their cub."

I raised my eyebrows when I heard her words. Were they really this giant? "Are they near?" I asked, and this question had many meanings to me.

"Well they lie close to our old village," she said before adding, "I will send a couple of ladies and fighters to the village to retrieve the eggs and babies. Do you want to go with them and check the place?" her suggestion came out of blue, yet what she offered was already matching my thoughts.
