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

Chapter 1034 Restoring The City

-----

Once the busy morning was finally over, we joined for a early lunch with Celes and Nia, and Charles and his family. No more nobles were invited this time, after he realized how much I didn't cared about them. He brought his wife and his daughter though, both were very cute and beautiful, so it was nicer to the eyes!

His wife was a rather gorgeous woman, with black skin like charcoal, a voluptuous figure, and long golden hair, with sharp blue eyes. Apparently her class was Sandmancer and was able to control and transform sand, which was exceptionally strong within these endless sand dunes.

However, the Saintess still was able to restrain her powers and sealed all her magic using special chains from the church. But now that she was free, she would dedicate herself to protect the city with her amazing magic.

"Once again, thank you so much for everything you've done, Maria. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to get such a happy conclusion. I am finally back with my husband, and with my magic unsealed, I will make sure to protect our home better than before." She smiled, it felt like she had a sharp gaze. Unlike her husband, she was much stronger than him, and held a powerful authority. I think I know who the real ruler behind the shadows was here.

"I'm glad everything turned out nicely, Rashna!" I smiled. "You're quite a powerful magician class, a rare one at that! Sandmancer, I had never heard of that one before."

"Yes, it has been passed through my lineage for generations. My family in specific, we descend from the Ancient Sand Elves, said to have lived in the desert in very old times." She explained. "Unlike the Sand Elves we sometimes meet, the Ancient Sand Elves were said to have Divine Powers over Sands, and capable of taming the mighty Giant Sand Megalodons that swim through the deeper areas of the golden dunes."

"Interesting, now that it has been revealed our world is connected to the Tower, perhaps such people came from another world too." I said. "Just like the Divine Oasis Spirit being actually a Mermaid that came from a world known as Atlantis within the Tower's lower floors."

"Naiad…" Eustace muttered, silently resting behind Celes as his eternal guardian now.

"I suppose that is a good theory. The whole thing about this world being connected to the Tower… It has surely shaken our entire world's perception; I am still trying to process it myself." She sighed. "To think the Gods kept this away from our knowledge for so long. It is clear they wanted our world to be kept disconnected from everything outside, but no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to do it forever. That Raid, if it wasn't for your help, we would have been massacred by those otherworldly Vampires, which seemed much stronger than the ones we're used to deal with."

"I am presuming most of the races of this world might have come from other worlds." I said. "The Majin, who are so varied, even some species of beast people, and definitely anything too ancient could have also come from there."

"Now, it is up to us to find out the truth of this world, the tower, and how we can regain communication with these worlds we once were allies with." Said Rashna. "I want to be one of the pioneers at that! Now that your village and our city have become allies, I would love to strengthen such alliance by investigating such things together!"

"Of course, gladly dear." I smiled. "We can look more in deep about these subjects once I am done with my little journey. I'll come back later, after all I got Nia and Celes here, whom I want to see daily. I was thinking on eventually placing a special device I'll construct, a teleportation gate a few will be able to use, to instantly teleport to my place, and vice versa."

"S-Such an artifact is possible to be made?" Wondered Charles, gasping.

"Indeed! Though, for now I will only leave such a device to be used to my dear Nia and her son Celes." I said. "I'll have to see if I can trust you all enough to be able to use it more freely."

"We understand that decision does makes sense." Nodded Rashna. "Thank you for your consideration, nonetheless, Maria. You're a very intelligent and powerful woman…" She looked at me into my eyes. "We would hate to ever lose the opportunity to make a strong alliance with you, whatever it takes, and whatever the price it might be."

"Hahaha, calm down, I won't ask for anything crazy." I shrugged. "For now, I'll leave my troops for protection. And I've also brought some resources from my home I've sold to you. for anything else, we can discuss this once we return."

"Thank you, truly." Rashna smiled charmingly, as she held my hands gently and caressed them.

Charles was a very clueless man, he wasn't realizing at all, happily eating, but his wife was constantly trying to seduce me… Well, it was slightly working! She was very beautiful and had a powerful aura, I was weak to strong women like her, honestly. But for now, let's keep a poker face and move on.

"Anyways." I pulled my hands back, as her face quickly looked slightly disappointed. "Just today I got a notification from my Undead, the pyramid down there has been cleared of anything related to the Vampires, so monsters will begin spawning really soon. The Boss was also being kept hidden, it is a Giant Mummified Three-Headed Hound, an A Rank Monster. I hope this Dungeon can help the city flourish with the resources it'll produce soon enough. Of course, the Dungeon is now mine too, as I've taken over its core."

"I see, v-very well then." Rashna didn't have much of an option here, as she accepted my words quite quickly. "Can we discuss the share of products and earnings?"

"Of course! Let's do that while we eat lunch." I smiled. "Time for negotiations."

Like that, I got myself a really good deal in this city, similar to the previous one. My village will be earning even more profits while doing absolutely nothing, hahaha!
