My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

Chapter 461

“A wall?” I asked as plans were put in front of me.

“We’re in the wilderness,” the mayor sighed. “And the larger our city is, the more we’re going to attract various high-level beasts. More than that, if we’re going to defend Aberis from external threats, we need to start worrying about this level of security.”

“Terra, would you be able to do it?” I asked.

“Ah, yes, Master, I can have it done today.”

“Today!” The mayor let out a noise of shock. “The entire city? I was expecting this job to take months!”

“It’s fine.” I patted his back. “Just don’t worry about it too much. My girls will do what they can today. Tomorrow, we’re going to be leaving.”

“What should we do?” Miki asked.

“Lydia… work with the new army recruits. Teach anyone you can the sword. If they can gain the Swordsman job, that would be best. However, I’ll take any decent fighting job.”

“Yes, Master!”

“Miki, I want you to work on morale. Check people’s moods and try to improve them. I want the residents in a good state of mind. That way, they can be productive. When you’re done with that, work with the alchemist to build up our stocks of bombs and potions.”

“I will, Master.”

Celeste, check on your mother. If there is any fairy dust or waters of life, please store it. Don’t take any if it will affect the growth of the fairy spring.”

“Y-yes!”

“Shao, Raissa, I need the two of you with me.”

“M-me?”

“Hehe, Master, even now? It’s still light out…”

I rolled my eyes, ignoring her flirting. “We’re going to be doing the most important job. I want to gather up a large number of magic stones and magic items we can’t use. I’m going to create and implant a dungeon near town.”

“Y-you’re creating a dungeon?” The mayor asked with fear painted on his face. “Near the town?”

“This dungeon is a little different.” I tried to explain. “Without it being sustained by a curse, it won’t be able to grow or consume mana. We’ll have to feed it for it to produce.”

“Wh-what is the point?”

“Raissa here is the world’s best Dungeon Diver, so she’s going to help me build a dungeon to train people.”

Raissa’s face turned red. “B-best… he says…”

“All of our soldiers are low level.” I explained to the mayor, “The quickest way to fix that is to have them train in a dungeon. So, I’m going to create the circumstances for them to kill mobs and level. It might end up being expensive to start, but perhaps one day we can use the dungeon to access precious metals and the like.”

“You wish to farm it, like the great dungeons?”

“Right now, a training place would be enough.” I turned to Raissa and brought out a token. “Raissa, will you be my Knight?”

“A… Kn-Knight?”

“You will be tasked with training my soldiers. Teach them how to survive. Teach them how to fight to the death. No one in this world fights seriously because they all live with the knowledge that they can just be resurrected when they die. I’m going to change that.”

“H-How so?”

“Easy… I’m going to put the fear of death in them.”
