Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!
Chapter 790 Time To Move Out
-----
(Maria's POV)
It has been two weeks since the events that happened when we invaded the Frost Queen's dungeon and then Skadi's Tower. A lot has happened. First of all, my Level was now 90, so I only had ten levels before reaching max level. Tear was rescued alongside everyone in the village that got unfrozen, over a hundred Ice Giants joined our village now, so it was a lot of work to relocate them, and build them special homes that could fit their taller bodies.
Nonetheless, it wasn't actually that hard, with my Necromancy, I was able to shape the ground and dirt and combined it with my Alchemy, shaping wood became a breeze. And with everybody else's help, we managed to make tons of houses in just a single day, and constructed more for everyone to be able to live comfortably.
It wasn't easy for them to get used to live in here, and they're still adapting, but they're actually very polite and gentle people, and are slowly beginning to calm down and get used to having finally woken up from the long dream they have gone through when they were frozen by the crown's curse.
Tear was also rescued, and she slept for several days without waking up, but we constantly healed her wounds and oversaw her with Emeraldine. Eventually, she woke up, and we had a rather emotional conversation, where we addressed pretty much everything, including what happened with Veredorr.
It broke my heart to see her so terribly heartbroken. She cried for a whole day, and continued crying the next days… But slowly, she got better, and also apologized in public to all the ice giants, and also the people of my village.
She also went to the dwarf kingdom as we wanted to greet Brunhild and see how they were doing. She also gave a public apology, and although many people still hated her and blamed her, some began to understand what had truly happened. The sacrifice of Veredorr was now well known by everyone.
That one young man that lived his life inconspicuously, without wanting to bring any attention, literally became a hero to thousands of people. The Dwarf King decided to order a statue on his name, and it has already been constructed in just three days. Tear was rather shocked and moved by such a thing, which rested right in the middle of the dwarven country.
It was given the name of "Veredorr: the Hero that stopped the Eternal Winter". And we even got ourselves one of those in our village, alongiside another statue for Lancelot. The dwarves were obsessed with the statue thing though, they wanted all of us to get some! But we declined, we didn't wanted to bring more attention to ourselves… Though Veredorr deserved that recognition.
I explained Tear about a way to bring back Veredorr. After all, although his entire soul was… destroyed, the core of it remained, even if hollow, it was still a crystalized form of a piece of his soul, which Tear now holds as a necklace. Sometimes, when she talks to this jewel a lot, the Soul Core would faintly glow, before falling into silence again.
There was… something on it, we knew. Veredorr might be gone, but perhaps there was the hope to bring him back. Our fight against that Vampire woman taught us the existence of "Origins" the innermost part of a person's existence, the deepest core of a soul.
And that Soul Core contained Veredorr's Origin, although it was badly damaged, it was still there, his very being contained within that small sphere of ethereal energy… If I can attain enough power to raise him back into a ghost, or even a living being, I might be able to revive him.
But I lack such power now… I need to get even stronger, and perhaps, to even gain the power of the Gods themselves, who have been plotting to destroy us for so long now… So I told Tear that the only way to bring him back would be by attaining a god-like power, and to grow so strong, we would need to continue walking a path that would oppose the gods themselves.
The girl, without even doubting me, accepted my proposal, and said she would become our ally. Since then, she has been training while we spent time preparing and doing many things. I made sure to get cozy with my beloved ones too.
Jonathan's family is still a concern, but from what I've heard of ghosts I sent to investigate there, his family's still safe, although it seems they've been told that he got killed. I guess if they know he's dead, they'll won't punish his family? Until they learn the truth, that's it…
Until then, I can hope that things will be safe…
Meanwhile, going back to the dwarven Kingdom, Brunhild has begun to be treated as a walking goddess there. She's praised by everyone, and no longer has to hide herself from the people. She walks proudly there, and is happy to visit her descendants, the children of her children with the ancient dwarf king.
Honestly, it was quite a shock, not even her brother knew of such a thing! She had it saved until the last moment, quite honestly… But it made us happy to know she had her children and a family now, even many years later. Because of her ever-growing love for them, she goes from there and here all the time, though she has begun to spend much more time there, she comes every week here and stays at least two days.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm The dungeons over there are becoming fruitful, as we covered them on crops and the economy of the dwarf kingdom, even after the disaster that happened because of the Frost Generals invasion, was recovering very quickly. The greedy nobles also became much more humbled after learning of Brunhild's true identity and are cooperating with us more nicely.
Already starting our third week since then, we were all ready to begin our next journey.
We couldn't waste any more time, we'll make our last journey through this continent and do all the things we need to do.
Our first stop will be Emeraldine's village, and then, the Republic of Goldsand, where my little brother is hiding!
