Chapter 424 Cap 423: Leonardo Is Excited(Chapter Preview)

The next day I get up early and put on my clothes after using a potion of liquid soap, but before leaving the room I cover Ibuki and Diana in my bed.

I leave the room and find Orion sleeping on the bedroom door with Layla sleeping on top of him, I walk past them and go get something to eat.

After I ate I leave to go towards the forest behind the village, I find Luthien and Aredhel already waiting for me at the exit of the village.

"Good morning."  (I)

"Good morning, we were waiting for you."  (Luthien)

"..." (Aredhel)

"I already warned the Arachnes, asked Nix to talk to them last night, also asked her to explain what has been happening to the others."  (I)

"You can start calling them from tomorrow."  (Luthien)

"Did you explain to the Council leaders about the Dungeon?"  (I)

"No, I told them that their subordinates are arriving in the next few days, I also told them they wouldn't need to pass the tests."  (Luthien)

"I assume you said the approximate number of them, right?"  (I)

"He said that there were thousands of people of various different races, he also said to use only the common language to communicate."  (Luthien)

"Thank you for that."  (I)

"Where do you want me to call the Arachnes?"  (I)

"Inside the forest if possible, I don't want others to see your Dungeon."  (Luthien)

"OK."  (I)

Luthien is acting personally this time probably so there is no mistake, I thought Aredhel would have a more active role now, but around Luthien, she is meek and calm, but I still see the look of hostility from this High Priestess when she looks at me.

The three of us head to the forest where they saw me opening the Dungeon's gate, they saw a big Dragon's head coming out of the shadows with its jaws open, then hundreds of Arachnes came out of the Dungeon.

The one who led them was Nix who slept inside the Dungeon, Helena who was in charge of the Arachnes was beside her, in addition, Érica and Hela were also with her.

Hela comes up to me and kneels down, Érica on the other hand runs to me and gives me a very long kiss.

"You big idiot, how can you keep me waiting so long inside the Dungeon?"  (Érica)

"Nix must have explained things to you and the others, I only had the opportunity to call more people because the head leader of this village allowed it."  (I)

"How long have you been following the rules of people other than yourself?"  (Érica)

cough cough

"This is a matter of politeness, she seemed to me like someone understanding and direct, so the least I can do is respect the rules of this place for now."  (I)

"You say that, but you want to release the dungeon people in this village, I'm sure you didn't tell them about the dungeon culture."  (Érica)

"..." (I)

"(That's true, Elves are a naturally beautiful race, letting Dungeon people loose in this place might not be a good idea.)" (I)

I close my eyes and mentally communicate with Nix who re-enters the Dungeon to warn the people of the Dungeon about respecting other people while she's here, also told them not to try anything with the men or women of this village without the person's permission.

After Nix entered the Dungeon I remembered that one of the most sexually active races was the Arachnees in front of me, so I had to spend some time talking to them about respecting the rules of the place.

That's when I remembered someone, a place full of beautiful Elves like this is going to be the paradise for Nolan, this damn pervert will probably spend the whole day hitting on Elves, I guess I'll have to talk to him so he doesn't overdo it while you are in this village.

Nolan can only think all day about gambling and women.

----------

After a long conversation with the Arachnes about what they should do and where I leave them talking to Aredhel who knows what she should do and knows the place better.

After that, I spend the rest of the day keeping company with Érica who insisted on having a date as payment for leaving her alone for so long.

-----------

The next day I wake up a little tired and leave the room, today I have many things to do, so I ask Nix to accompany Leonardo out of the Dungeon today as I want to talk to him about new ideas for building the city.

I go outside the village this time through the gate to get out of the barrier that protects the village, outside I find Roman, Luthien, and Sophia.

As I get closer I realize that it wasn't Sophia, even though they looked a lot like this woman has a more imposing and authoritative presence, the only thing I could think of is that she could be Sophia's sister.

"Why are you here?"  (I)

"Carolina wanted to see in person the people who would be staying during that time."  (Luthien)

"You are talking about thousands of people, do you have any idea that we have to think about feeding so many people?"  (Carolina)

"You are only looking out for where you are going to stay, but there are many other things you should consider."  (Carolina)

"How are we going to explain all this to the people of the village?"  (Carolina)

"Don't talk to the Queen like that, I'm sure she knows what she's doing."  (Roman)

Sigh

"Stop talking, all you know how to do is fight, what do you know about running a village?"  (Carolina)

"You are very serious Carolina, you have nothing to worry about, they will be able to take care of their own food."  (Luthien)

"Anyone following Zenos won't be a weak commoner who needs to be taken care of or protected, right Zenos?"  (Luthien)

"You're right, I'm more concerned with what we talked about earlier."  (I)

"Don't worry about it, you'd be surprised how welcoming Elves are, we don't judge people by their race or appearance as humans tend to say."  (Luthien)

I spent a few minutes talking and found out that Carolina was Sophia's mother, which shocked me again when I remembered that Elves shouldn't be judged by their appearance.

I also found out that Carolina was a member of the village council, she represented all the Dark Elves.

It seems that Roman was just the general of the village, even though he is the strongest Dark Elf he doesn't have the ability to run the village, Carolina seemed to be angry with him for something.

After these minutes of talking I move a little away from the gate to a place that will not be visible from the gate to everyone else, so I open the Dungeon gate.

At this point everyone from the Dungeon was leaving, Lilith was in a human form and that must mean she learned the transformation technique that Érica uses, she looked like a sweet young girl, I worry that someone would believe this facade and try to approach her with ulterior motives, I feel sorry for the idiot who does this.

Lilian also came out and knelt in front of me next to Barok who was already kneeling from having left a few seconds before.

When Sapphire came out of the Dungeon I was surprised to see that she looked younger and her body got a little bigger, her presence is also much stronger, it seems that she evolved and was not the only one.

Ivan was using his Spectral Body to appear to be Human, but his presence was very strong, he appeared to be the same as always, but his presence was not second to Sapphire's which means he must have evolved too.

One more person caught my attention, Leonardo appeared running from the Dungeon gate holding several large papers wrapped in his arms as he ran towards me with his eyes shining.

"Master Zenos, master Zenos... Nix told me that I can add some Elf buildings to the city project, is that true???"  (Leonardo)

"(He looks very excited.)" (I)

"We'll have time to talk later, but yes it's true."  (I)

"I always wanted to mix different architectures together, but after my proposals were turned down so many times in the past I thought I was the only one who saw the innovation of it."  (Leonardo)

"When you said that you would give me freedom for these things I was still trying to contain myself to the rational, but it seems I can make all the changes I thought of in my spare time and..." (Leonardo)

I stopped paying attention to what Leonardo was saying, he was so excited that he opened the papers with the city maps and the design of different buildings on the ground and started drawing at the speed of light while talking to himself.

"(Why are there so many strange people around me?)" (I)

I didn't have time to think about the excited Leonardo, I had to put the order in the situation that was getting almost out of control, I also had to get Barok and Lilian to stand up.

I had to say hello to my kids coming out of the Dungeon, keep the Lizardman from getting on their knees in front of me, and stop Tânia and Anton's quarrel over an outfit that one of Anton's tools ripped by accident, I also had to run to stop Samira who wanted to hug the Elf Queen while drooling, she has the same weakness for cute things as Diana, but tend to have higher control, I can't blame her as the Elf Queen's appearance is actually very cute.

"(I think it should stop Diana from getting close to the Elf Queen, I'm afraid of what she might do.)" (I)
