Chapter 628: A Week After

[Day 242]

It has been now a week since I made the third and last body for the last ancestor, the ancestor of the Jade Snakes. I had crafted it doing the usual methods and added a lot of Poison Attribute Mana Cores we had previously harvested from the Poison Dungeon located in the Jade Snake Sect, which had a lot of Poison-Attribute Monsters.

I had also added some monster organs inside of him just to experiment out, but it seemed that everything went well and there were no complications with his revival, his ghostly soul adapted quite well to his new body as I slowly attached each part into the body with utmost care.

I had to be careful like I was with the previous two, if not, a single error might make the ghostly soul go through some pain, or even weaken as a whole... Thankfully, I almost ended making a mistake, but I didn't, and that's what important.

His revived body looked like he did in the past, but more handsome and young, and seeing him without an old-looking face and a beard really felt weird to me, but it was okay, I was able to accept it at the end and move on.

Of course, Yukihime and Mikoto were surprised of his new appearance and somewhat looked at me angrily as if I had been the one that provoked his new appearance, I don't know what they were getting into, but I didn't made him like that, he just ended looking like that, I swear.

Yukihime was a bit shaken by the old man cocky attitude now that he looked younger, and asked me to make him older, but I refused. After that, I had decided to make a meeting with the revived ancestors and the two sects they belonged to, as Mikohime and Thaletus were surprised by the revived ancestors, praying to them as if they were gods.

I could had told them to pray to my daughter instead, but I wasn't going to interrupt their moment... Although it made me frustrated a bit that they didn't praise my daughter as their goddess instead.

Maybe I should cut it out with that.

At the end of the meeting the ancestors agreed with going in and out of my castle into the dungeons of the respective sects through the teleportation room to visit the sects periodically, of course, the sect masters also know about these, and they can come to my castle at any time, even when we are far away from them now.

Protection is also important and both sects were left barely standing, so I had divided some of my troops and placed them there, mostly some rabbit-kin, ice golems, snow beasts, and so on. I had yet to make armies of Undead, and they might not be good because they would bring unwanted attention from strangers unlike ice golems and snow beasts that can easily camouflage in the environment as pieces of ice and pile of snow respectively.

Of course, it is not like I am leaving them forever, they constantly come back and forth from my castle to the sects they're guarding, like jobs, they're even paid with Mana Stones that are mostly used as the currency in here.

However, a problem arose in this last week, it is pretty annoying to walk back to the dungeon and adventure through them just to get to the teleportation area so they can walk back home.

So I have thought about modifying the dungeons' internal structure with the help of the System A.I. as I had left her as the manager of the dungeons, she had said that it was indeed possible to modify the structure, and create special monster-free tunnels that people could walk through to reach the teleportation areas more easily and without problems.

The construction was simple, but it took a whole week to complete, and it consumed half of my Dungeon points savings, which are the points you accumulate as a dungeon master in the Dungeon System or whatever it's called.

But it wasn't complicated, and it ended at an expected date, so from today onwards, they can get there, and it is not as if any rat can enter that tunnel and infiltrate my dungeon, as the System A.I. can constantly monitor each place and allow or not allow someone to pass through that area, so she knows who to let inside.

When nobody is entering that tunnel, it will be often be closed from all three entrances that it has from all three sects, the Winter Lotus, Ice Moon, and Jade Snake Sects. Remember that all three dungeons are merged together and they're interconnected by monster-filled tunnels, but these special tunnels have no monsters spawning inside so they're safe for anyone to walk through.

This way, the things such as mobility had been facilitated for the better daily life of my people, a quality-of-life change that drained my Dungeon Points a lot, but that was worth it. As a boss, you always have to prioritize the quality of life of your workers.

Anyways, aside from all of this, it has been a week since that day when I saw Benladra in the gardens playing with her mother, she was very cute, and it melted my heart. We spent most of the week after living our daily lives and slowly adapting more and more to a life with a child.

The first two weeks were hellish to say the least, but since the third week onwards, we have felt a bit better, although things had finally stabilized as we got used to everything after a month, and it is today, of course.

Through this week there had been a lot of things happening, but one of such things was that Benladra had begun to manifest her magic. As a prodigy child, she was born with a whopping four types of magic at the same time. And that's without including the Anti-Mold magic which is a weird one that I don't count... so it had been quite difficult to navigate around her antics.
