Chapter 16: Onward to Dragon Peak city

"No, The hero party also wants to see you, My Lord."

"The Hero party? The one that got summoned from another world by the church ritual?"

"Yes"

"Did you know the reason why?"

"Unfortunately, I don't now know the reason why they want to meet you, My Lord."

"I see, when should I go? Right now?"

"No, The king wants to meet you a week from now."

"I see, That's good because we need to help to repair the wall."

After telling him the news, Sebastian then walked toward the Mansion to continue his duty as a Butler while He and Sebastian have a conversation; Gabriel able to see that Harris is making a weird face when the Hero Party gets mentioned.

'Hmmm, Is he jealous of the hero?'

After he is dismissing though Gabriel then began to rejoin the training season with the other knight. After finish training with the knight, Gabriel got 2 STR and 7 AGI from the practice. He then walked toward the village wall that got destroyed by the monster from the flood. He then looks at the people near the gate and be able to guess that they are a carpenter when he approaches them and asks them about the wall that they want to build. Kay, the leader of the group, said that they need a lot of wood from the forest and tearing down a good chunk of the wall because the foundation of the wall is beyond repairable. Their plan has a flaw, though, as they destroy the wall, another villager will be in danger as they don't have any other protection. Seeing the situation, Gabriel then walked to the broken wall and used his Biological Manipulation to repair the wall and also began to recreate the wall to its previous state.

"That is amazing, My Lord."

"Thank you... Are you disappointed?"

"I-I guess yeah, a little bit disappointed."

"Why?"

"This is our first job in a month, so we a little bit excited to work once again."

"I see, then I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay, my lord, and I know you are doing this to protect us from another Monster Flood."

"I'm glad you understand, but I guess I can give you guys some work."

"What is it?"

Gabriel then pointed at the massive carter in front of him and says.

"I will restore the damage that I have done from before, and after that, I want you guys to build another Wall and expand our village."

"I see, but it will be expensive, My Lord."

"I know, that is also the reason why this is a long term project. I will gather enough funds for you guys to do the job. Currently, I have 10 Gold in my pocket. You guys can use it to buy the tool you need. As for the salary, I will tell Sebastian about it as he will the one that supervises you and also pay you from my treasury."

"Very well, my lord."

After done with the wall, Gabriel walked toward the Village Field that got destroyed. He then uses his power to restore the field and the plant to its former state and also makes the soil more fertilize than before, making the vegetable that the villagers planting will yield more.

After he finished doing all that, the sun is already setting, so he walked toward his mansion, where he greeted by the Maid that told him that Dinner is ready. After eating his food, Gabriel tells Sebastian about his project and his role in it. After finished explaining the situation, Sebastian nodded and said.

"I can do that, my lord."

"Thank you, Sebastian, and about the treasury, Is there even any treasury in this mansion?"

"Ahhh, of course, there is my lord. The previous Baron of this land has gathered a good chunk of gold on the treasury."

"I see how much?"

"15.000 Gold, 700 Silver and 378 Copper"

"That much?"

"Yes, This land is one of the most likely places to travel between Capital City and Duchy Territory. To our, West is Lord Arthur Territory, and to our, East is Duke Axelsen Territory. That is the reason why this village is one of Trading Village, but after Dungeon appears near this village, many people choose to travel from other roads. Seeing that people began to avoid this village, the previous Lord gathered his Army and began to attack the Dungeon. Still, he doesn't know that the Dungeon is a high-Level one and thinking that this was only a Medium Level Dungeon. So he died inside the Dungeon, leaving all his Gold intact."

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"I see, But why Arthur leave the dungeon until now?"

"Lord Arthur has attempted to conquer the Dungeon but failed and leave the dungeon with an injury that even the best doctor can't heal and with The Wave that will happen the next week Lord Arthur then give up conquering the Dungeon. When Lord Arthur come back after the Wave, he got the news that The Dungeon Master gain a name and evolved from Goblin King to Goblin Emperor and also with the church recently summon a group of heroes, Lord Arthur don't have time to conquering the Dungeon."

"I see, So Arthur gives me this Land in the hope that I conquer this Dungeon, Isn't it?"

Sebastian stays silent for a second while also avoiding to look at his eyes. After a few seconds, Sebastian sigh and says.

"Yes, My Lord. At first, I hesitant when hearing Lord Arthur says that you able to defeat the Dungeon Master, but after seeing you in action, I know that someday you able to clear it."

Gabriel's face becomes Red a little because of how Sebastian says it with such determination.

"Haaaah, I guess I will try to conquer the dungeon then, but not know because my level is not enough to do it."

"Thank you, My Lord."

"Think nothing of it, also Sebastian, please inform Harris that I need him and some of his men to accompany me to the Dungeon."

"May I ask you why?"

"I need to create some barrier around it in case of another Flood Happen."

"I see, I will inform him right away."

"Good. Tell him to meet me tomorrow morning."

"Yes"

"Good. Then I will go to bed."

"Good Night, My Lord"

"En"

After he arrived at his room, Gabriel then began to sleep as tomorrow he needs all the energy he has to seal the Dungeon for at least a month.

~ The Next Day ~

The next day Gabriel, Harris, and his lieutenant ride a horse to the Dungeon that causes the Flood. After riding for 5 minutes, they arrive at a cave.

"This is the Dungeon, My Lord"

"I see, then let us begin."

Gabriel Divine Territory can be used as a protective Ward or a Seal for Evil Creature and Darkness Monster. While it can be used as a Ward, it needs some preparation, for example, an anchor for the Ward to stay and the user needs his / her full attention to the process if the user get distracted then the Stone ward will be blow up and killing the user.

Gabriel Finished warding the Dungeon with the most powerful Ward he can make. The Barrier will kill any monster that attempts to come out from the Barrier, While the barrier can't hold against Monster with a level above 100, but it can keep the monsters for at least a few hours. Gabriel also added an alarm system that he connects to the mirror inside his mansion. So if the monster with a level above 100 the Ward will alert Sebastian who will evacuate the villager.

After finished, He then walked around the village and have a pleasant conversation with all the villagers he encounters. Gabriel able to learn that the previous Lord, while not cruel he also not kind. He makes the villager pay at least 70% of all the money they got from selling the Fruit and Vegetable to other villages or cities. Even though they had to pay 70% of their income for tax they can at least eat and have protection from the monster that running around the land. That is the reason why they choose to stay in the village, and another reason is that if they want to move from one village to the other, they need to pay Tax on the front before able to build a house.

As the night comes, Gabriel going back to the mansion and asks Sebastian about the Tax this village has. After talking to Sebastian, he learns that this village after the previous lord died has a tax reduction to 20%. After learning the Tax has been reduced, Gabriel Relaxed a little before saying to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, Tomorrow, I will go to the Capital City once more."

"I see, then please bring Captain Harris with you, My Lord."

"Eh? Why? I can travel alone, you know?"

"That's not it, My Lord. Lord Arthur inform me that he want Captain Harris to the Capital City as well."

"I see, then inform him to meet me in the morning."

"Yes"

~ The Next Day ~

After eating his breakfast, Gabriel walked outside where Harris already on his horse, and near him is another horse for him.

"My Lord"

"Captain, let us go, to The Capital City"

"Yes"
