Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"Let's move," I shouted after giving a short rest of a quarter here. Everyone moved in such a great mood, as many had already tasted the pearls and knew how much beneficial they were to them.

And they knew I was so generous to grant them these pearls!

During this rest the necromancers didn't stop summoning their skeletons for a second. This time they focused entirely over summoning the giant skeletons, and that made me quite satisfied with their behavior.

I needed them to work hard for me, and they were just repaying my generosity with the thing I wanted much this moment out of anyone; more strength!

As we marched, I took the advice of Ric to the letter and planted the head of that killed chief over the spear of mine. As we met the first group, they seemed quite shocked when they saw the head of their leader on my spear.

"Your chief is dead, I killed him. Join me or join him, choose!" I shouted with much dominance as I didn't want to waste my time or effort on pointless fights.

Plus these necromancers were such rare species. How could I have more of them? Could I grow them in the ground? Ground full of bones and skulls?

My shout and strong declaration, supported by the cleaved head of their chief made it quite simple for them. Most decided to join me, yet some were so stupid to choose death over life.

And those didn't worth my spear to kill! "Go and kill them all!" I casually gave the order to everyone around me apart from my personal army. In less than half an hour, the fight was done and I gained a large bonus of three hundred necromancer and eight thousand pearls as well.

This time I didn't let them rest, or did I distribute any rewards. This wasn't a fight to celebrate, and I didn't want them to take this as a habit for a rule.

The next fights ended the same as this one; most decided to join me willingly, while only a few remained stubborn and foolish, killed at the hands of my monsters and bones.

"Grab anything that can be used as a weapon and arm our boys," I said to Jen as of now my bone army was so grandiose to exceed fifty thousand bones.

"I will," she simply replied before relaying the orders to others. They started to take shields and armors from many skeletons, yet the sheer number of the bones were much bigger than my entire monster army.

"Sigh, I lost over three thousand monsters so far, that's quite the loss, tsk," despite knowing this was to reap a greater reward, I hated the fact that my monster army diminished not to exceed four thousand right now!

I needed to spread the monsters then to seek for more monsters then. That was the only solution I currently had. "What's left then?" I asked as the land in front of me was devoid of any bone in sight.

"The village, that's what remains," Ric replied, and as he said that I was instantly interested. "How many necromancers are there?Are there baby necromancers there? Are they like human kids?"

My long train of questions were met with a soft smile from him. "We are humans, or you can say we hailed from them. There are many kids there."

"That's great," I chuckled, praying that every single village I find from now on would be a necromancer one. "Can you raise your strength more?" I suddenly asked out of curiosity, for more understanding of them.

"Sure, the fastest is the pearls. As you can see, we managed to summon the grand skeletons in such big numbers without being tired."

He referred to those giant bones they summoned, and their numbers now reached five thousand, forming a whole army of their own. "So you need pearls? Only this?" I commented while feeling somehow exhausted just from thinking of this way.

Their numbers now were destined to be in thousands, how could I satisfy all their needs now?

"No, our greatest source of leveling up would be the death aura coming from creatures our skeletons kill."

"They can absorb this death aura and transfer it to you?"

"Yes, not only that, the stronger the creature the denser this aura would be. So if you want to ask about another way, let us loose on the wilderness and we will kill everything and get stronger fast."

"That won't do," I firmly shook my head, refusing his suggestion. "This place is mine, and everything that lives under its sky is mine. But…" I paused before I had such an interesting idea, "do you know what lies beyond these open lands? Beyond that forest?" I asked with much anticipation.

"There are more open lands and mountains, rivers and lakes, even seas and oceans. This world is gigantic, with endless places out there to count."

"So you know how to go to such places?"

"Just going in one direction and I will reach there oneday," he laughed, embarrassedly, not for him but for me. His answer made my question seem quite silly.

All I did was to sternly glance at him, and he choked in his laughs! "Sorry, I can go there for sure. What do you want me to do there?" he tried to jump over this hiccup of his, and I totally ignored his silly comment from before.

"I want you to dance! Surely I want you to do what you excel best at!" I returned the words with words, before adding, "I want you to do a massacre out there. Grow in strength and make sure to make others suffer."

The eyes of his shone brightly before adding, "can I go now?"

"Stupid greedy necromancer! The road is filled with many dangers, and I'm not quite trusting you yet. What if you left here and started massacring my dear monsters? No, you will leave once I control everything here."

I was harsh on him as he deserved to be treated in such a way. He sensed my cold attitude so he remained silent, nodded and retreated back to his gang; waiting for me to cool off and forget his silly comment.

"Tsk, idiot," I muttered while watching him return, "but he is a strong and cool idiot, sigh, reminding me of Rog," I sighed while recalling that cool assassin with his sly tongue and annoying attitude.

"Will they live through this world?" I asked myself before adding, "they aren't that weak, I'm sure they will figure something out."

"Listen up," I shouted, attracting everyone's attention, "next we will head to a village. This village is precious to me, so don't start fighting right away."

I then turned to glance at Ric before adding, "Ric will go first and try to negotiate. We will be just behind, if they decide to fight, then we must aim for their fighters only. Try to subdue and not kill, force them to surrender."

"What if we met such thick skull ones?" Mark asked, as he referred to those who refused surrendering before.

"Then we will kill them," I simply replied, "Ric, take this head with you," I threw the head of that dead chief off my spear. It was already smelling and I hated its smell.

"I will make them all surrender," he promised before finding something to wrap the head with before heading off. "Anyone of necromancers step forward and lead the way," I turned to the necromancers standing on the rear of my army, "hurry!" I urged and instantly the couple of them moved to lead the army.

Their speed was slower than my usual army speed, but it wasn't that slow either. After one hour, we managed to come near the village place.

"Such a nice place, this chief has a mind after all," I commented when I spotted the place where the city was located. It was on top of a small hill, enjoying the sight of every place around it for miles without any obstruction.

"It can serve best as a sentry tower then," I thought about how to use this special spot after taking the village away. I didn't plan to keep the village there, as I would turn my own village into a grand city.

"Ding Dong! You can buy tokens to establish a sentry tower, you know."

Suddenly my long silent system started to break its silence this time. "Really?How so?" I asked with much doubt. It wouldn't take the initiative to tell me something without being a benefit there for him.

"Ding Dong! Ten pearls are deducted, thanks."

"What?!" I shouted at once, startling everyone around me. "You thief! Bring my precious pearls back!"

"Ding Dong! Didn't you ask a question? I took them as my fees to answer them."

"Damn you! You are the one who volunteered to ask!"

"Ding Dong! It's my fault then wanting to tell you something useful? Huh?"

"Tsk, at least give me something for free for once!"

"Ding Dong! Such a filthy rich and extremely stingy lady, tsk."

"You…" my eyes twitched as if that system was in front of me now I wouldn't hesitate to punch him in the face. "Then hurry and tell me the answer, greedy system!"

"Ding Dong! When you establish your monetary system you will have a privilege to have access to the grand market of the system. There you won't only find sentry tower tokens, but much more than that!"

"Oh, that looks interesting," I said before holding my tongue from asking more.

"Ding Dong! Won't you ask about how to make a monetary system?"

"Nah," I shook my head while trying to keep myself silent.

"Ding Dong! You have been here for such a long time and already didn't find a way to create your own currency. Let me help."

"Nah," I shook my head again, watching this wise wolf dressed up in the skin of a loyal dog! I would never fall for his dirty tricks, not me! Not again!
