Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!
Chapter 547 A Second Visit To The Dwarven City-----
We reached the skies above the mountain where the dwarven country was located and quickly descended there. Well, behind it, letting Lucifer turn into his humanoid form and then walk into the country as if nothing. I doubt they'll try to kill him if people learn he's an ancient dragon or something, but it is better to just keep it a secret for now. The less people know, the less of a hassle it is.
Lucifer, Brunhild, and Nyx can easily pass as Majin of some scaled tribe in their humanoid forms, so there are not many suspicious stares towards us… I guess maybe from some people that know there are no scaled tribes. Maybe, but they still think "huh, maybe I don't know everything". Also it really helps that the whole country has many citizens that are from other tribes, Majin included.
Despite being called "the country of dwarves" they've got a massive amount of other tribes within their population, which shows how open-minded dwarves are, I guess… even against elves, the rumored rivals of dwarves, they're just as friendly. Sometimes they say a few words or nicknames but they don't go past that.
Though Emeraldine is so gorgeous that she hasn't gotten any slurs thrown at her back then. Maybe the powerful magic aura she gives off also helps, she intimidates a lot of people with her mana pool alone, which sometimes leaks into intimidating auras around our bodies.
Nonetheless, we easily got past the gates and into the city. We swiftly decided to move to Helga's home to go visit her and then move to Aquamarine's residence. The old lady will then call Ruby, the Viscountess, our new political ally that will handle all the hassle of the dungeon's management.
Knock, knock.
We knocked the door as we waited for someone to come to open it. And it was one of Helga's little kids. A cute dwarf girl with tiny black horns above her head.
"Hello dear, we are looking for your mom, we are her guild friends." I said.
"MOOOOOOOM!"
The little girl didn't even wasted a second and called for her mother.
"What is it baby, I'm busy cooking right now!" Helga's voice echoed.
"Helga we are back!" I called.
"Huh? Oh! Maria! Been a week!" Helga ran towards us leaving everything behind, a bunch of kids could be seen behind her playing around.
"Hello, I brought the whole squad as usual this time." I said.
"I see- Huh? That girl is… the one you meet in the dungeon?" Asked Helga.
"I am Lucifer's big sister, Brunhild." Brunhild presented herself.
"The big sister of- Oh…" Helga quickly realized Brunhild was also an Ancient Dragon.
"I-It is an honor, of course!" Helga said slightly nervously.
"Hm, you've got a beautiful home." Brunhild said politely.
"And you… Huh? Who's this baby? Where did it came from?" Wondered Helga, looking at Nyx nibbling a big bone.
"This is our daughter." Said Lucifer.
"Yeah we named her Nyx." I said.
"Eh?! You've got a kid?! Did you not bring it back then?" Helga wondered.
"Err, yeah, we didn't… She insisted on coming, here she is." I said with a smile.
"T-That's right." Lucifer played along with the little lie.
Explaining to her that Nyx came from an old near fossilized egg Lucifer's wife left behind would be too much, just telling her she's our daughter is just easier and better in the long run, I suppose.
"Well, aren't you a cute little brat?" Helga smiled at Nyx, as Nyx opened her jaws, showing her the sharp teeth of a dragon. "Damn! She's… built like a dragon, I guess. Alright, come in. How about we all have some lunch together? We can go to that old grandma afterwards. Now hat you're back we can begin doing a lot of stuff we have been waiting for, Maria. Also they're kind of pressuring us into the whole dungeon business…"
"I get it, don't worry. We'll get to work in there right away."
Right that, we enjoyed a good meal at Helga's house, greeted Myriad, Helga's husband, and then we swiftly moved to the old grandma's residence, or Aquamarine, one of the guild masters of the two major guilds of this country that manage all mining, dungeon, and monster related affairs.
"Are you planning on bringing that baby along? Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Asked Helga.
"To the dungeon? Well yeah, it would be dangerous." I said.
"For the monsters, that's it. Don't worry, she's very strong despite being just a baby." Lucifer reassured Helga.
"Dragon or not that's still a baby… but fine, you're way stronger than me so I'm sure you can protect her well." Helga decided to trust us in this one.
When we reached the manor of Aquamarine, we were greeted by her maidservants and butlers, and quickly invited inside. The old woman was there reading a book, sighing in relief we were finally back.
"You're finally back! It has been a whole week! The viscounts are all going crazy because they want to see results already." Said the grandma.
"Already? Even if we worked an entire week nothing much would happen anyways. Are they really that impatient?" I sighed.
"Well yes, they're nobles what did you expect, dear? These habits are the same in every noble everywhere." Aquamarine sighed, using her pipe to smoke some more. "Ah, you old men are back. You've gotta join the guild asap, I need you to get there and teach some newbies. Darfu too, you're talented enough."
"Eh? A-Alright…" Darfu was quickly dragged by Baldur and Balladur to the guild's building where they do classes to newbie apprentices, apparently. They were all registered in the guild beforehand and are paid nicely for it so I see no problem in them helping.
"Now that those are out of the way, you should adress stuff with the Viscountess. I've already called her." Aquamarine said, as the noise of a car-shaped golem coming from outside echoed across the streets, the gorgeous red-head dwarf was already here.
I suppose we'll need to go check the Dungeon and start a big farm in there. The miasma should be more than cleansed by now.
