Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 473: The Meeting Ends

I turned to glance at Jack as I thought about something crucial. "I want you to focus more on the talents to build a grand city," I said before adding, "you first need to read all the books about such subjects and try to come up with a list of professions and missions for others to follow."

"Is there such a book in the library?" Jack asked with shining eyes.

"There are many I believe," I nodded in firm tone as I already spotted a couple of interesting names, "this is top mission. We need to build the foundation of a grand and highly advanced city. I don't want to come later and renovate everything."

"I'll do my best," he promised.

"Also the military research division must be ready to come up with ways to make more mechas," I turned to Anjor as I added, "you saw these big machines. I'm already addicted to them. Do all your best to come up with ways to make them."

"That" Anjor's face changed slightly and he seemed hesitant, "would take much time to achieve."

"But we have to start somewhere to reach our goal at some point, right?" I watched him nod before I added, "I also want anything we can develop here and help my army in offense and defense to be implied fast."

"I've already prepared a couple of plans," he said with a big smile over his face, "but we lack some major elements for that."

"Like what? Ores?" I turned to Meck as I added, "he will solve anything you need."

And the face of Meck turned blue but he didn't object to my plain yet extremely heavy words.

"In addition to ores we need good blacksmiths and some brilliant engineers," Anjor said while giving Meck a sympathetic look, "and those would take quite some time to develop."

I thought for a moment before saying, "blacksmiths are a must! No civilization can develop without them. Make sure to select those first and nourish them with everything you got."

"I will," he nodded, "what about engineers?"

"Of course if you found any great talent, don't hesitate to support it," I shrugged casually, "if not then you'll have to lead the work yourself then."

And this time everyone gave him a sympathetic look while he remained silent.

"About resources," I turned to Meck and he seemed quite alarmed with my words, "I want to ask about farming and lumberjacking How are these two doing?"

Meck's face relaxed before he answered, "lumberjacking is going shoulder to shoulder with mining, or even much better."

"And farming?" I asked, "you don't expect us to live only on hunting wild animals and random fruits."

"This isn't a big problem at the moment," Meck said before clearing his throat, "as I sent some scouts around the river course, we found a very wide and fertile piece of land a couple of miles to our west."

"And?" I calmly asked without showing any expression over my face.

"I was thinking about sending some of those with no talents to start preparing the fields there but"

He paused again and I simply glanced and said nothing.

"That place is slightly away from the villages here, so I wasn't sure of its safety in the long run."

I kept glaring towards him before smiling, "Dredly, select some of the mechas under your disposal and send them to be stationed there," I said before turning to Dore, "you should plan something for that area. Take one village token of the current ongoing expedition and use it to build a small village there."

"Will they live there?" Dore asked, "should I develop it?"

"No, it's only limited to provide them places to sleep," I turned to Meck, "as for anything planted there they should move it towards here to be stored all the time."

"Then we will need roads," Meck hurriedly said while feeling better as someone else was about to get more tasks.

"And we have enough time before crops will yield, right?" I glanced at Dore and ignored the stupid smile over Meck's face.

And Dore nodded.

"What crops do you plan to plant there?" I returned to Meck who was surprised by my short words with Dore.

"Ah I'll plant anything from around," he said and I believed he wasn't planning for such a move yet.

"Jack," I neglected him as I doubted he would be enough for that task, "send some of whom you trust let them scan the entire area around. Any good crops they will bring their seeds back for Meck to plant them."

I returned to Meck as I added, "first you will use the first cycle to expand the seeds before expanding in planting the crops."

"The first crop yield won't be used?" and he was more surprised to hear that.

"That's correct, and that means you'll have to provide food for everyone for the next months until the second cycle yields."

"I have a suggestion, if my lady allows it."

It seemed Meck got enough sympathy from everyone that drove one of them to speak up, trying to help him.

"Speak," I said to Cal who exchanged silent glances with Meck before saying:

"I believe we can find good books on how to accelerate the crop cycles and increase the gains. I will work fast on that matter and if I find something useful then we can imply it."

"Sure," I simply said, "anything to help our poor Meck here is welcomed."

"Should we build a castle there as well?" Dredly asked and I felt he thought building castles was a new hobby of mine now.

"Of course, let's build one floating in the sky and moving everywhere," I sarcastically said while Dredly paused and didn't get the joke.

But others did.

"Don't stand silent like that," Omad hit his shoulder while laughing, "the lady will give you a floating castle, hooray!"

And at this moment Dredly finally got the joke and glared at Omad as if he was the one to crack a joke at him.

"Enough now," I laughed as I added, "go and start working. We have a very long day tomorrow."

They nodded and left, all except Jack, Cal, and Anjor as I asked them to stay.

"Now I want you to help me arrange the books in there," I stood up from my poor seat. I paused while glancing at this seat for a moment. "And find someone to craft me something worthy of my reputation."

And next I took out my spear and smashed that useless piece of trash into shreds.

"Let's go," then I turned and left while everyone followed with extreme strange silence.

Were they afraid of me or what? That was ridiculous!
