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

Chapter 237

We walked outside of their home after the whole discussion was over. I was getting tired of how arrogant they were. I could tell that everyone was doing their best to maintain their composure, but it was indeed very hard.

“Thanks for your patience, you three… I guess at the end. We were not able to convince them that much. Those guys are way too grumpy for me to handle….” I sighed.

“And they seem to only want beer and nothing else.” Said Emeraldine. “I seriously don’t get how a dwarf’s brain works. Well, Darfu is a nice person, at least.”

“Yeah, that Darfu is our only home for the moment. It doesn’t seem that there is anyone more qualified as him around the people we got.” Said Partner. “So that’ll do. He’ll do it for us.”

“Hmmm… Well, it shouldn’t be hard to take a fast trip to the nearest town to pick up some resources, we should buy a lot of food on the way, and Beer, all the beer we can find, and give it to them, we’ll see which one they like…” said Lucifer. “We might also buy the recipe of how to make beer and the ingredients necessary to make it as well.”

Lucifer had a good idea. I think if we could make beer here, it would keep them refilled with their beer meter while we work on our own stuff as well. Everyone wins! I think that’s the best thing we can do as of now, I really don’t want to meddle any more with these annoying dwarves, so I am throwing them to the back of my mind for the moment.

“Good idea, Lucifer, we’ll do that… I guess we can go to the town tomorrow morning. We’ll leave Catarina and the other two fire ghosts protecting the place, plus all the Undead.” I said.

“Yeah, there are monsters sometimes coming. Most of the time, they try to get inside the city, so it is good to leave some strong people to defend the village…” said Emeraldine. “Although, without a healer like me, I am worried something bad might happen, and I won’t be there to heal them….”

“Don’t worry. We won’t go out for more than two days. I think it will be a short trip. We can fly so it will be fast.” I said. “I promise.”

“Okay then…” said Emeraldine with a sweet smile.

There are Undead roaming the entire village all the time, they often carry out rocks and debris spread around, and some others are slowly tearing apart the houses for usable wood to burn and also to feed the rats.

Some others are gathering anything shiny and valuable from the houses before they’re turned into pieces of wood. Sometimes there are portraits of people or their stuff. We save all of that to one day give it back to the frozen people.

Our people were already used to Undead from way back when we rescued them. The Undead had been helping them ever since, and I am an Undead too, so they’re used to them as “people” and not as “monsters” although if they ever encounter Undead outside of the village, they’re probably not the friendly kind, so we made sure to tell them to differentiate well.

Once more, we moved towards the castle, where we found Darfu and the goblins. He was currently brainstorming ideas on how to make the greenhouse’s architecture. He wasn’t the best at it, but he knew all the basics, and he had to just put up some effort into it.

“Hmm… I think we can do this… Perhaps internal pillars would also be good if you want it to be big… The glass we’ll need for the ceilings will be a lot… Maria-sama has to make sure to bring as much sand as possible, the whole beach if necessary.” Said Darfu.

The Goblins nodded as they heard his words. Some even knew how to write, so they were writing down notes about it and more.

When Darfu noticed we came back, he spoke to us.

“So, how did it go?” he asked.

“Bad… Very bad, they’re assholes,” I said.

“I-I told you it wouldn’t work… I am glad nothing bad happened to them, though…” said Darfu.

“Yeah, I stopped these two dorks from hitting them several times. They really should calm themselves sometimes.” I sighed. “Anyways, how are things going?”

“They’re fine, we have already done some work, but I am still having some complications… I am not the best at this. I might take a week to make a proper blueprint… Sorry.” Apologized Darfu.

“Oh, don’t worry, we got all the time in the world now that we are far away from danger… I think.” I said. “Although we are going tomorrow to the nearest town to find some food and beer and perhaps other materials we could harvest.”

“That sounds great. Could I go with you?” wondered Darfu. “We need some serious materials to start off our construction, nails above all, and different tools… Do you got the money?”

“Yeah, we got enough money to buy stuff, and if not, we can steal it using ghostly powers,” I said with a smirk. “Although I am trying to not steal everything now….”

“I-I see…” said Darfu. “Ghosts are really unique beings….”

“Anyways, do you know how that town works? From which duchy are they?” asked Partner.

“They’re not from the Albraun Kingdom. We have already walked past their territory. This town belongs to the Iceland Kingdom, a small Kingdom with just two duchies that is located in these frozen lands.” Said Lucifer. “I am impressed they have kept up for so long, even after the war against the Demon King where they were our supporters. I guess because they’re human, they somehow managed to survive and not get slaughtered… Good for them.”

“The Iceland Kingdom is a friendly Kingdom to our Dwarf Nation. They always make trades. They got some fertile lands where they grow plants, but it is said that they’re cooperating with tribes of Ice Giants to grow special plants that even thrive in ice…” said Darfu.

“What? Really? Maybe we could find those plants then!” I said. “Maybe they’re expensive?”

“I wouldn’t recommend it, they’re rare, and the Ice Giants are not fond of people… If you try to get things from them forcefully, they’ll rage.” Said Darfu. “It is dangerous.”

“Hmm…”

So there are even Ice Giants here…
