Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 436 The Potential Profit Of Dungeons

-----

"Huh? I thought dungeons were a bad thing?" I wondered.

"Well they're only a bad thing if they go out of control and attack people, but in this place there's nobody living, right? And if there's a monster break, nobody is going to get affected either as it is a completely different mountain altogether." Helga said. "Dungeons generate a lot of profit, and they're often owned by the ones that first find it and then conquer them, which usually happens after defeating the Dungeon Boss and acquiring a special Title."

"Huh, I didn't knew you had such a rule, in the human Kingdom they just took them over with the state." I sighed.

"Well, that's not really the case here." Helga said. "If we get this dungeon for our own guild, then we could increase our profits a lot by hunting the monsters inside, or we could even hire fighters to hunt for ourselves too! Our profits could easily skyrocket!"

"I see! So that's a thing, huh?" I said. "Now what do we do then? Should we go back?"

"Yeah, we should first go back and report the dungeon you found, after that, we set a Subjugation Quest for our guild, this way we have priority over the guild for a week, if we can subjugate the guild and conquer it over a week, its ours, if the week passes and nobody does anything, it becomes of anybody and anyone that goes there and conquers it takes it." Said Helga.

"Taking over dungeons is a very big challenge, large group of warriors is needed, B Rank monsters or above are impossible to beat if we are not prepared with several magic weapons, bombs if possible, smoke bombs, poisons, and golems, a lot of golems, oh, and magic items… If we were a common party, we would need to invest a lot of money to clear it… And even then, if there's anything beyond B Rank, it might be a bit too impossible." She added

"Huh, you guys are pretty well organized. What's the strongest dungeon you've completed?" I wondered.

"Our country? Well, the strongest is the A- Rank Dungeon, Wicked Labyrinth, it was cleared long ago by a powerful Dwarf that had the Blacksmith Hero Class, he was able to create amazing items, but that was a lot of years ago, now that dwarf is an old grandpa and doesn't fight anymore." Said Helga.

"Huh… I guess we can do it then, this dungeon is probably around that Rank as well. This boy is a B Rank Undead." I said. "He said he hunted monsters from that dungeon, but some big ones were too strong, so we can assume there are monsters stronger than B Rank monsters inside."

"T-That thing is B Rank?" Asked Helga, the other dwarves once more were shocked. They quickly began to feel the deadly presence Gero was able to exude, as his aura of poison and venom was being held back, but even then, his mere presence was overwhelming once they noticed his truest power.

"Ah, you're scaring them too much Gero, come back to my shadows for now." I sighed.

"Geroro?" Gero was as innocent as ever, without realizing he was quite scary sometimes.

After he went into my shadows, we decided to quickly move back to the city, and while we walked towards the Guild Building, we discussed some more.

"Also, Maria, you mined way too much! Are you crazy or something?!" Helga asked.

"Yeah, you're insane. I've never seen someone mine so much." Said Blackard.

"She looked like a demon…"

"The times she was screaming "Inventory!" all the time were quite creepy…"

"Excuse me but how many ores did you collected?"

"Ah, well…"

I showed them my Inventory, showing them the section where my stuff was, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"WHAAA?!"

"So many ores in a single day?!"

"T-That's White Silver, isn't it?!"

"Turtle Shell Stones!"

"Rainbow Crystal…"

Suddenly, all the dwarves looked at me with jealously clear in their eyes.

"Hahaha… I-I didn't collected them willingly, they just got in the way of my attempt at acquiring the skill." I sighed.

"W-Well, you've already gotten a small fortune. Do you plan to sell this?" Wondered Helga.

"Not for now, we'll keep it for our own material creation." I said.

"I see, makes sense. If you need a Crafter that is good at accessories, something those old men aren't good at, call my husband, he's amazing at his job! Pretty please~!" Helga said, she really wanted to make me her husband's client.

"Err… Well, I'll see about it." I said. "But no promises!"

"Okay, that's enough!" Helga giggled. "And well, about the Mining Skill, you'll probably get it after a week, it took us a month to get it when we began mining. But after getting it we became way faster."

"A week?" I wondered. "I got it just today…"

"EH?!"

The dwarves once more were shocked. It seems that acquiring skills wasn't as easy as I did it. Well, getting the Bookworm Skill wasn't easy for me! Nor getting Alchemy… Although Farming wasn't hard, I got it after just a day.

"How much did you dig…?" Asked Blackard.

"Around… over 100 meters deep?" I wondered.

"That's insane…"

"Lady, you're a literal mole."

"Monster…"

"Man, we are getting out played…"

"I hope she doesn't exhaust the mountain before we can make any profits from it…"

"Hahaha… I'll make sure to take it easy next time, sorry about going overboard. I know this mountains' resources are also yours and you need them to maintain your daily lives." I had to apologize to them, if I did this every day, the mountain resources would be easily emptied in a few months, which wasn't what I really wanted.

After we got into the Guild Building, we quickly reported the Dungeon and everything else. And just as Helga said, they gave us a deadline of 7 Days to complete it and conquer it on our own before it becomes publicly known by the masses.

I guess it was finally time to do my specialty, smacking monsters (and sometimes non-monsters) to death.
