Chapter 15

The next morning, I begin expanding my territory because I will need much new land soon…

After some time all of my servants, that are living inside the fortress are awake, and I let them move out the important things of the houses, then I ‘destroy’ the 2 houses that I first built.

I plan to integrate the forge into the new building, so I clear the most of the field behind the forge, letting only a small part for growing the most important things. Then I begin building a big stone hall, that will soon be the living place of my new knight order. That’s what I want to make out of my servants…

I made the stone wall about 3 stories high and with about 40 or 50 meters length, a width of about 15 meters . Then I added more rooms to the sides, leaving only the front and backside without anything added. The back get’s some nice painted glass to at least let some light inside the hall. Then I build something like a entrance tower, that will be able to defend the hall and all the other rooms that are connected to it.

Now I plan to integrate the forge that is in front of the entrance tower, with about 10 meters between the two buildings. Firstly I begin building a high wall, that begins at one part of the quarters that are added to the hall, and ends at the other opposite quarter buildings. Then I add some towers, bigger than those at the nobles castle and make the wall wider, so two people can go shoulder to shoulder over it.

The forge is not directly touching the wall but it’s not far away from it. Now let’s build some storehouses, my knights have to have enough provisions to be able to operate like I want them to...

going straight to the walls, I begin making a stone basement where I might store some wine or beer, I add two more floors made out of stone and end the first storehouse with a mansard roof. Making 4 of them in total, I have now used quite a bit of place inside the castle.

Then I build stables leaning against one of the walls, and here comes a genius idea of mine

summonundead horseit will run until you tell it to stop, maybe will stop, maybe not...

You see what I mean? that are horses that do not need to be feed or cared about, and they can run all day long… They will be one of the important factors of why my knight order will get more and more powerful.

Knights have to train everyday, so I have to build a training field right? so I make a little door between two of the warehouses, that leads outside of the castle, there I build up new walls, not as high as the inner walls, but high enough to not be able to simply climb over them. Then I used the newly made secluded area into a training area, making some ragg dolls, building a house along the wall that will serve as a training center, where my knights can hone their skills even when the weather is bad…

Ending the whole thing with placing some towers on top of the walls, where I summon some undeads.

Now I have to make a good gatehouse, right?

It’s a bit complicated, but that won’t hinder me in constructing it…

I demolish a part of the walls, to build a new wall on each side, going straight away from the castle. It has protection on both sides, so you won’t get a arrow in the back while looking down on one side. The walls are about 10 meters long, then they end into a big tower each. The two towers get connected and the place where the wall run through before I demolished it get’s the same tower/gate construction, like this I have a double gate.

Last thing to do is furnishing the castle and the towers, my servants might have brought some important stuff out off the houses, but they will not be enough to live comfortable in such a big castle…

And now the work begins, making beds, setting up the table in the hall all this stuff… I spare you from the explanation but it was a hell of work…

And then I notice that I forgot to add fireplaces, nice, so adding about a dozen of them in the quarters, and making a chimney for each of them I finally have finished the castle...

With that, I introduce my new unknowing knight order into their new quarters.

On another note, the table in the great hall has seats on both long sides, but not a throne or what would be normal at the head, simply because I don’t want these guys to have a leader...

Now that my little dream is complete, I plan to build a proper adventurer’s guild. With multiple trainers, a bar or maybe even a restaurant…

might take some time, because I don’t think that a skeleton chef will be able to really cook something delicious, but I have time… And maybe some villagers will help…

Now then leaving the fortress, I search for a good place to build the guild buildings, and find one outside the current living zone, on top of a hill, near the graveyard.

There I begin making a foundation, for the main building, where adventurers will get their commissions and can grab something to eat or drink and maybe some music...

The building in itself should be a one story hall, made out of wood, but I plan to connect it to various other buildings…

finishing the roof, I begin making a kitchen at the end of the hall, where people will give their food orders. The kitchen will be really professional, not like the one my family had back then in afghanistan… though I will use heating runes instead of gas or electricity for heating up the food…

Then I make a three story building, that will be the main school building for new adventurers. I will spawn or organize teachers later on, but no problem for now, because the whole facility is not enterable at the moment…

of course I will have to make outdoor facilities, but I will make them later on, so I am able to do them perfectly for their purpose...

For now, I tell the inhabitants of the fortress, to gather, because we have something to discuss.

After that, I begin making a secret underground chamber where I transport my core to. Now it floats directly beside the coffin of a member of the royal family…

With the ground floor cleaned, I install something like a meeting place, where I will consult with my minions about our future plans…

After about 10 minutes, they gather together and the meeting begins. purpose of it will be making clear what our goals are for the near future, then discuss about the best approach on how to get there…

“Now then let me begin, our meeting will consist of these topics:

-the new knight order

-adventurers guild

-using the area around the city

+waterway

+reforestation

-administration of the town

we will discuss these things, and hopefully get to a good answer.” With this everybody knows what we will discuss today, and now let’s begin.

“So to the first part, from today onwards there will be a knight order residing inside the fortress, and my servants will be the first members, sadly Gerad said that he cannot be part of this knight order, but he said that he will help in the weapon training of the members. I plan to make the knights into an unit that won’t have anything beside their weapon and armor, so no family and no private belongings. They will have their headquarter in the ‘tomb fortress’, that’s what I decided to call our fortress, for now. The name of the knight order will be ‘knight order of the tomb’ or in short tomb knights.” finally my long explanation is done, the new members knew of that beforehand, but let’s see the reaction of the noble family...

“Okay, so that’s the purpose of the new castle, I wondered what it will be used for. I have a few questions, please her them out. First is, are there only man allowed in the knight order, or is it possible for woman to? second, what about a noble that joins the order, will he be allowed to maintain his noble name, or not? third, on which range do you plan to use this order, only in the vicinity of the city, or nationwide?” the woman, that I now know to be the family head asks.

“For the first question, if a being is powerful enough to be of use for the knight order it may join, doesn’t matter if it is man, woman or child. Secondly, if a noble joins the order, he will lose his title, but may continue to use his surname, like everybody else. Thirdly, I don’t plan to set a limit to the possible mission that they will do. The only part that is sure, is that they will be under the command of me.” I hope that answered her questions…

“Are there any other questions?” If not, I will continue with the next part.

everybody shakes their head, so let’s continue with the next…

“second point, the adventurer's guild, only a few moments ago, I finished the main parts of what I plan to make into the adventurers guild, I want to ask you about the last guilds normal tasks, and how it worked.” I hope someone knows about that…

“The adventurers divided into the ranks F,E,D,C,B,A,S the higher you are, the more difficult the jobs you are allowed to do will be, they will get you more money though. The guild in itself consists of someone who accepts commissions, and puts them up at the big board that hangs near the bar, for all adventurers to see. Then there is of course the bar personal and the people who will control if you finished your commission. On top of that there sometimes are trainers who will help the new guys to hone their skills… That is everything I know about them.” one of the noble males says.

“That’s good then, I actually plan to have as many teachers as possible in a nearby school building, the only thing to discuss is what things should be taught…” I hope to get some tips from them…

“firstly you have to think about what kind of territory you want to make out of the vicinity, we don’t have much wildlife, so a hunter won’t have much to do. We also don’t have much trees or farms, so there aren’t many options to get a living out of this…” again the nobles family head.

“then wouldn’t it be better to exactly train the professions that will get us these resources? If we need wood then let’s make a forest, if we need more food then let’s make more farms.” That’s the logic I would use to solve this thing…

“First tell me what might be used as possible food, then we can decide if we will use that.”

“The best meat source are definitely monsters, but we also need crops to grow in the area, or we will always have to import them from the nearby villages… for that we need enough resources like wood and stone, but also iron for tools. Currently we are not able to purchase such things…” family head says.

“Don’t worry about things such as money, everything that is needed will be made by me, there will be no problems like no tools or something like that. So you say we should breed monsters for their meat? interesting idea, what kind of monster uses little place, doesn’t need much to eat and gives much edible meat?” let’s make a monster factory, muahahaha

“There are multiple types of monsters that will be a good use in that case, the more important part is getting enough monster tamers to properly grow and control them. though that might not be a problem if you are able to make such skeletons…” family head… don’t the others have an opinion on that matter? or are they just to stupid?

But to make our talks short, we finally decide on 4 possible education fields, these will be combat, gathering, manufacturing and unspecific fields. each field has different classes that you can choose, for combat these are:

-swordplay

-hand to hand combat

-polearms

-sneaking

-riding

-archery

-strategy

-different types of magic, that will not be teached for now, due to the lack of teachers,

because sadly my current skeletons are not even able to use magic, let alone teach it…

the gathering classes are:

-monster lore

-herbal lore

-skinning

-farming

-ranching

the manufacturing classes are:

-forging

-constructing

-alchemy

-trap making

-butchering

-cooking

-brewing

-woodworking

the unspecific classes are:

-tree whispering

-camping

-trap functionality

-treasure evaluating

As you see, there are some odd jobs and some that may be similar to others, like woodworking and constructing, or trap making. These classes will be taught like they are nonetheless, because they will only teach you some basic things, and not the real skill that will only come with years of experience. Maybe later on I will be able to summon skeletons that will be able to teach better techniques, but not at the current moment…

And that’s only the plan like we have worked it out for now, if we see the need of more classes, then we might as well introduce new classes.

But because of that I will have to make 3 more school buildings, and make a matching surrounding for them. Then I spawn at least a teacher for each of these jobs, except tree whispering that is a form of magic and will be taught be the old noble guy…

Oh, right you don’t really know about the noble family right? there are 5 adults and 2 childs, 3 men and 2 woman, the children are both man. The three adults are the old guy, his two sons and their wives with a child each. The woman of the old guy died due to the recent sickness…

because of that the dude has much free time now and will do his best to teach others the magic of tree whispering, that is actually more like plant whispering but he insists on naming the class tree whispering. He says that with this kind of magic you are able to make the growth of trees much faster and with enough people who are able to do this, we could be able to grow a forest in no time. I know I would be able to do this with my mana, but I have to grow each tree manually, and I don’t have the time to do this, so these guys will be a huge help…

“Then to the next point, on how to use the area around the city, I don’t actually know if there are any forests, rivers or mountains nearby so I will need your help with that” I have to know about the overall situation and then decide, in which direction I will expand my territory and what will be done there…

“Yes, right. there is a river south of us, it flows into the ocean after about two days travel. there aren’t any big mountains nearby, only some hills all around us… forests are in the south, up here in the north only few trees grow.” other noble woman…

“I see, then we will expand further into the southern direction, there I plan to build a port to open up trading routes. I also want as many trees as possible in the nearby vicinity. Any other questions?” Let’s finish this quickly, I have to continue with the school buildings…

everybody shakes their head, like always…

“Then to the last part of today's meeting, the reason I wanted your family to come to this fortress, is that I want you to help the citizens, speak up for them and inform them of our decisions. would that be alright for you?” Would be bad if not…

“That’s the least we can do to help to develop the town, please let us know when we can help with other things…” family head says…

“perfect, then I end this meeting, thanks for your assistance today, and please give it your all from today onwards.” Without waiting for an answer, I float out of the tower into the direction of the guild buildings, to continue with the construction.

___Govenor POV__

for some days now I get reports, saying something is going on in the city, stupid nobles, can’t they be more responsible and hold the other scum low? I finally am fucked up enough to climb on top the tallest tower of my castle, once there, I see a fortress, no several fortresses…
