Chapter 651 A secretary's corruption
As Daki explained her limitations Frost was forced to ponder the outlined problems.
"For labour the Niflheim gnomes I'm designing should be able to settle right in when it comes to basic forge work perhaps even being able to help with the more advanced processes without much aid." His Niflheim gnomes were slated to be far more skilled and talented than any of his ice dwarves, a boon that came at an expense of weak combat capabilities.
"In regards to materials, whatever we can exhume from the Dungeon's mines either Calder will provide, or we can purchase outright with DP -as long as our reserves holdout." Though they'd managed to produce a significant war chest of several hundred thousand DP that had to cover a whole range of areas not just materials.
Therefore the main problem Daki highlighted and one that Frost strongly agreed with was the lack of forges. Even if they had the labour and the materials if the devices used to transform those raw materials into something useful were few in number it didn't matter how many people or how much materials they had.
Why don't you just build more forges then? You might ask. Well that's not as easy as you might think. To produce Daki's main forge alone cost tens of thousands of DP even without the extra additions she's added over the following months.
Readymade buildings and workshops cost an arm and a leg through the Dungeon menu thus with the war chest already spread thin over the many other areas Frost couldn't wantonly spend it on a couple basic forges. No the only option was to build them from scratch one brick at a time.
"Building additional forges will take up labour, time and speciality materials…"
"If you want the wall done on time you're going to have to find a way to get me that labour, the time needed as well as the necessary materials."
"Haaaaa I'll ask Calder if he can add forge supplies to the list of materials and hope for the best. In the meantime do what you can with the forges we have available to us."
"Will do…seems we won't be getting much sleep over the next couple ways and not in the good way…" Daki stared at Frost in a particular manner, a suggestive look in her eyes which Frost quickly caught on to.
"Loki you did very well tonight, I'm proud of you." Frost quickly moved over to the young boy who was resisting the urge to fall asleep.
"Master." Loki became alert upon hearing Frost's words doing his best to cover up his tiredness appearing rather adorable.
"It's ok we've been here for a while, discussing some rather boring topics plus it's past your bedtime, it's no wonder you're tired."
"Head to bed Loki, you've earned a good rest."
Loki yawned at that moment and rubbed his eyes, no longer feeling the need to fight the urge now that Frost had spoken. Following that he smiled, waved goodbye to Frost and Daki before teleporting into the private space and heading to his bedroom where Nanna was already fast asleep after her own work filled day.
Now with Loki out of the room Frost finally responded to Daki's gaze.
"Frost dear since I'll be working hard for the next couple of weeks with nary a break don't I deserve some sort of reward, an encouragement for my efforts." Daki batted her eyelashes in a flirtatious manner as she sauntered over towards him, sashaying her wide hips side to side.
Frost instinctually gulped as his blood heated up and desire festered in his heart. Daki's words were true, for two weeks both she and him were going to be run ragged before he'd have to quickly venture into the frozen wastelands which were the glacial mountains.
So much time not being able to enjoy her company, the softness of her skin, the heat that dwelled within her and pleasure that came with laying with both her and Maya. A pleasure he'd be without for quite some time.
For a moment he had a strong desire to never leave the confines of his Dungeon to eternally welcome the embrace of his women. Ah such joy that would be but unfortunately that was not his sole desire.
Though being without their touch would certainly be painful it was necessary. Frost shook his head of his wayward thoughts before pulling Daki into his embrace, this was likely one of the only few times he'd have left to be with her before returning from Glacial mountains.
"What do you suggest then my beautiful green enchantress?" Frost asked full of obvious intent, his lips already finding succour upon Daki's fair neck.
"Since we're short on time I won't ask for much, but I really can't stand the thought of being bereft of your manhood for such a long time…a quickie please then I promise I'll dedicate my full attention to producing steel for the territory's new wall." Daki whispered seductively into her lover's ear as her hands began unravelling his robes, revealing the toned body that lay beneath.
"Hahaha with you my love there's no such thing as a quickie."
"Kyaah!"
The two lovers thus ensued in an intense exchange in leu of their coming separation completely forgetting that though Loki had left the manor and returned to the private space there was another in the next room who had to suffer through their animalistic moans.
A deep pink blush appeared across Yuna cheeks as she inadvertently listened to her beloved master slam himself into her mistress with wanton abandon. The lewd sounds of Daki's cheeks clapping against Frost's thighs reverberated in the maiden of ice's innocent ears.
With her increased intelligence upon becoming B-rank her sense of self also increased straying further and further from a simple monster that was driven by her instincts. She was becoming more and more akin to a fully rounded person and with it came thoughts and feelings.
Before she was in admiration of her master and full of unending respect but sitting here in her office listening to her master make Daki squeal with pleasure she couldn't help but fidget in her chair. Her blood heating up as desire filled her heart and sweat started to flow across her snow like skin.
Almost imperceptibly her hands drifted downwards where a certain area was giving off far more heat than any other, strongly craving to be pierced by something hard and thick.
"Ahnnnn" Yuna let out a seductive moan as her fingers found their target, stroking, caressing and plunging deep within her slowly allowing her to experience some relief.
It didn't even occur to her that the polite thing to do while her master and mistress engaged in intimate activities in the next room was to perhaps leave rather than eagerly listen in.
Frost's and Daki's debauchery slowly corrupted the innocent maiden of ice, it's likely that like Khuno pretty soon she'd be seeking out a worthwhile partner that could help curb her growing desires.
Once their little session was over Daki returned to her bedroom for a solid rest, the last she'll likely be having for quite some time.
Frost however was still rejuvenated, his spirits and mental faculties set ablaze by his union with Daki as well as the bountiful level of DP flowing into his core, granting him untold strength, strength which he funnelled into quickly finishing off his latest design the Niflheim gnomes.
Shortly after the sun had risen on the territory and the council members had awoken and started the long list of tasks they had been given Frost finished his work and sent the design off to his father for the final approval, but he was already 100% certain that his father would approve.
During the last family gathering after interacting with several of his siblings he learned that quite a fair few had had their submissions rejected for various reasons such as being impractical, too strong, lacking in detail and such.
Dungeon cores like himself, Yami and Indra were one of the few who took their time with their design rather than ham hocking something together and hoping for the best.
Though the Ronsos would always be his true pride and joy due to being the first monsters he ever designed and ones that he spent a substantial amount of time designing his heart already had a soft spot for his little gnomes.
Not expecting his father to give his approval right away Frost set off to work with both Khuno and Findley in tow.
"Have you finished arranging the required manpower and tabulated how more we need?"
"Pretty much given the base estimation of the amount of sapient labourers available to us." Frost and his cohorts were no longer restricting the activities of the sapient labourers instead truly accepting them as part of his territory forever more.
It was far more efficient for him to utilise the vast troves of gold coins sitting in his vaults to pay sapients over, using DP to purchase monsters solely for laborious tasks. He still needed to run the Dungeon during this large development plan after all.
"Good, try to air on the side of excess though, I won't be that fussed about a little wastage if it means reaching our target on time."
"Understood. We've left a large chunk of the quota to be allotted to these Niflheim gnomes was it?"
"Yes that's the name I'm giving the species, I'll mostly be needing the D-rank lesser variants, but a few C-rank true bloods will also be required, have you accounted for that?"
"I believe so, under your advisement we have aired on the side of excess after all, the Dungeon's current reserves as well as daily perhaps even hourly income for the foreseeable future is pretty much accounted for.
"Hopefully it's enough."
