Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

296 We will sell them safety

"He was still drunk from grieving about his friend, he looked so pitiful, otherwise he looked as ordinary as Luna or Hephaestus, from what i could understand, he was spared from the effects of the power of emotions because he absorbed both good and bad, if you absorb only good things like faith you get afflicted as much as you would when absorbing the bad things like regrets or greed or lust, the individual emotions brand you, but if you take anything you get your hands on nothing happens to you". Yunan explain in detail his meeting and the words he exchanged with Apophis and assured Fae that the elf was just like any other ascended.

It was not strange for Fae to act so aggressively about something, but the fact was that she showed too much interest in the well being of a demon, or who should be a demonic being to her and her people, still if Fae was adamant on giving back her mortal body to Yggdrasil, she needed the help of demons and not angels to grow beyond the reach of Yggdrasil. After Yunan and Fae ended their conversation the girls had him talk about the cabin and garden surrounded by the white picket fence, and why did he promise Ignis to go there alone with her.

The girls even quoted Ignis being in a form of a teen-ager to proclaim cheating and demand for compensation. "It has nothing to do with Ignis being a looker in her teen-ager form" Yunan tried to explain "it has to do with her affinity for the spiritual and the fact that she can power up just by being inside Dreamscape, also Drogon looked like this in his spirit form" Yunan took the liberty to draw Drogon in all his draconic glory as a dragonborn.

It was Drogon who snitched on him, so it stood to chance that he would retaliate, and now that the girls knew how sexy Drogon looked, both pets would be up for cuddles by everyone, especially Reina who had a secret crush on Yunan's dragonborn form and wished he looked like that all the time. Easing the hearts of his wives was never hard for Yunan, he knew all this fuss was because they too wanted to visit the cabin and have some "steamy dreams" in their sleep, how lucky Yunan was if his wives loved him so much they had wet dreams about him as they shared the same bed. The lucky bastard. Thrice repeated.

Once the jealousy questionnaire was over Yunan was dragged by Lucian and was taken to an office like room, there were stacks of paper on the office and Leader was filling up more while sitting there, Yunan walked behind her chair and stood there reading over her shoulder, she was writing down all the things they need to start to establish a faction. Debauchery were not as rich as the rest of the 80th floor adventurers mostly due to their lavish lifestyle and using their materials for crafting and repair, that and they liked leaving the dungeon for extended periods of time after finding themselves stuck at some point.

Yunan took a piece of paper from the stack on the right and scanned it, he found most the things named there were useless to their goal and were just things that all factions were collecting or using as bait to recruit more adventurers to their side. Yunan kept scanning the paperwork and found it was just a big list of anything and everything that came to mind about the making and sustenance of a faction and even if most of those were not useful For Yunan and Debauchery, they were good things to keep in mind about other factions.

Leader finished inputting the last line and looked with a broken heart at the disorderly stack after Yunan went through it, she wanted to say something but stopped when she saw Yunan shaking his head, so she waited for him to finish reading the last piece of paper on the office before smiling at him "your thoughts? It seems we taught you so well you even shake your head at our handy work".

Yunan just smiled and moved Leader, sat in her place then sat her on his knee and started talking "that exhaustive list is not bad, in fact it is very good for any other faction, the only exception is we don't wish to recruit yet, and we are not rich enough to make this a reality" he then picked up a random paper and started pointing out things "we do not require a defensible territory because we can make our territory a no combat zone, and from the range we will use, hitting our building will be as challenging as ambushing our guests, therefore, we need mana supply instead of a dedicated hunting ground to bring in the cash, this bit here is useful later down the line, diplomats are needed but not very necessary in the beginning, mostly because no one would treat us seriously until we use our superior fire power to bring a faction or three to their knees. Also we do not need to be keeping the faction in order, my hands off approach to ruling by appointing capable people would give us the opportunity to focus on leveling up while our faction takes in trade and new recruits".

The two talked for a long time about the vision they had for the faction they wanted to create, they agreed on only one thing, the faction does not keep them from leveling up but disagreed on almost everything else. Yunan had to use the lazy Debauchery logic to make his point across and convince Leader. The school of ruling taught by lady Mito was a great help to their current aspirations. "All we need to do is build a trade outpost, one that offers unique service and is placed next to the stairs, we will sell safety to all factions"
