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

-----

The next morning, one thing led to another and before we could ever have breakfast, we were all called into a conference meeting with both big shot guild masters, Aquamarine and Adamas, alongside the Viscountess of this area of the Dwarf Nation, Helga, and her group of dwarves, and literally anybody else involved with them.

There were several new faces I had not seen before. Apparently even the other Viscounts of the City were here. Unlike other citizens, it seems that royal family were all mostly pure dwarves anyways, although their hair color was bright and so were their eyes, completely different from the "common folk" dwarves such as Helga and her band. It almost felt like their eyes and hair color was related to jewels.

"Ruby is this true?!" A man asked, he was rather young, looking to be around twenty years of age. He had sharp blue hair and eyes, with a handsome face, but was short like any dwarf. "A Dungeon with an internal space that has an artificial sun, soil, and even vegetation inside?!"

"Yes, it is true, dear brother Sapphire." Sighed the Viscountess, the red haired dwarf woman of extreme beauty we meet the other day. "However, I am fairly sure I did not invite you here, how come you sneaked inside and even know this much?"

"Well it is not hard to just ask the Guild. Everyone is talking about that new dungeon they found in the second mountain." Said Sapphire, the young man crossed his arms.

"Yes but the information about its interior… Who leaked it?" Asked the Viscountess.

"Enough." Adamas said, his single eye shone brightly with a bit of anger over the two sibling's dispute. "Everyone in the city will eventually get to know about the dungeon anyways, it is not like we are planning to make it a secret. If what's inside is really true, then we had not only hit a gold mine, but we might even be able to solve one of our greatest issues, a stable and constant production of food, especially vegetables and fruits."

"Every time a merchant come to our country we buy everything they bring, and they always sell it very expensive. Only nobility can really afford such commodities, but if we can truly mass produce our own vegetables and fruits from now on, we could gain total independence and feed our own people…" Even Aquamarine was happy over such news.

Apparently, the entire thing caused more of a commotion than I imagined, and for the totally wrong reasons too. It wasn't because there was a Fragment of the Evil God there, as we kept that a secret with Aquamarine to not cause chaos or suspiciousness against me, but it was about the dungeon itself.

The Dungeon itself, which has now been named "Maria Dungeon" as Dungeons are often called after the name of the one that conquers them, has two enormous and expansive spaces with day and night cycles, fertile soil, vegetation, wind, and… that's all. Things such as these wouldn't be that incredible or surprising for people that lives in the mainland, but for all of us people that live in the literal butthole of the continent, we are constantly freezing to death. There's no fertile soil and sunlight is scarce as well.

Therefore, the plantation of vegetables and fruits is incredible rare, and can only be done through extensive magic technology and magic items usage. And any space available is very limited anyways. Even the farms in this dwarf's mountain are very small, the only things that grow are a few grains that are too few to feed the ever-growing population, due to being scarce, they're also expensive, so most of the time only nobles get to eat such things.

But with this dungeon, the entire game has changed, there's so much space in there that you could plant as much as you wanted. With this, people would be able to easily bring anything they want to plant here, and with the fertile soil, some magic items, and my Agriculture Skills, we could make a constant source of food for everyone. It is indeed quite insane. Dwarves had always struggled with the production of food, simply eating mushrooms and occasionally beans with meat is not healthy.

Even dwarves who often dwell in the underground are much like humans, requiring balanced diets. A lot of people get diseases due to a lack of nutrients and vitamins in their diets to protect their immune systems and other things. I guess Iceland is probably going through the same, or any country that lives in harsh temperatures.

"This is getting out of hand." Helga whispered to me. "What do we do now?!"

"Huhh… Well, let them discuss. Not like we'll let them take our dungeon. But we could make some negotiations with them. If we can get into a good deal, we could produce a lot of food not only for your country but also for my own village, and we could even begin selling it to the nearby countries such as Iceland." I said with a smile. "This is a nice business opportunity that'll change the entire world around here!"

"Hah, I am surprised you're so cheered up after just a nap." Sighed Lucifer. "After yesterday's fight… I don't want to have anything to do with dungeons for a while now."

"Me neither…" Emeraldine sighed. "I am honestly quite exhausted as well."

"Me too…" Partner said. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

"I guess we are all tired, I am just enjoying the moment. For now let's take a week break. We need to discuss stuff about the dungeon and then we should go back home for a bit, then come back over the week." I said.

"Eh? You're leaving so soon?" Helga asked.

"Well I've got my whole family back there." I said. "I can't let them without me for too long."

"Hah… I guess I get it." Helga said. "Will you come back soon?"

"Maybe in a few days, or weeks?" I said. "But I'll come back soon, I've got stuff to do here after all."

"Ah… I forgot you can just fly around and get here in just an hour." Helga sighed.

Traveling the skies over a dragon was certainly very efficient.
