Chapter 78：The Dungeon Lord summons again.

As evening arrived, I reached the mountain path. The poor illumination had made me slow my pace, so I tried activating Mana sight to see if it could help me like it did inside the Dungeon. The result was way better than I imagined! All plants in the forest were full of mana, giving out a beautiful green aura, while the earth and stones in the way gave out a light brown aura. It was like everything around me had suddenly gotten a bright cover of light, enabling me to run through the forest as fast as I did during the day.

Picking up my pace I soon arrived at a huge black zone.

"What is this??"

Turning off the Mana Sight, I saw a dozen wolf corpses laying around.

"What!? They were attacked!?"

Instead of panicking, I investigated the scene carefully and reached the conclusion.

"Hmm, it seem these wolves attacked them but they were able to fight back. Considering there are no signs of graves and no elf and human corpses here, so they should be fine..."

Or they took the corpses, but I don't want to believe in this one so I refuse to say it out loud...

OK, let's proceed slowly, who knows if there are other wolves waiting for a free meal...

By the time my speed buff was over I finally reached the cave entrance. Inside awaited me a huge group of elves and humans.

Instead of taking my time to talk to them, I thought it was better to just show them the way. Speeches can be left for later, what these folks was a place to rest.

"Building Mode."

Instead of making everybody pass through the trapdoor, I made a bigger entrance so they could pass with all their baggage, carts and horses included.

"Hey Plate!"

"Hello Bia. Are these all your people?"

"Actually no, but most of them. Because of the elves help we were able take most our things this time, now all that's let is convince the hard headed old folk to came with us."

"Oh...sounds like a pain..."

"Tell me about it... each one is tougher than the next. Those people are so resolute in staying that I'm starting to doubt if even the orcs will be able to take them out."

"Hahaha, how great it would be if such a thing was true. An army of a thousand Orcs defeated by a dozen of old folks."

"Sounds like a plan! Hahahaha"

"I saw a bunch of dead wolves in the mountain path..."

"Oh, those! Jack and co. dealt with them."

"Was anyone hurt? No deaths?"

"No deaths, a few were hurt. There was a clown who got bitten in the ass, can you believe it?"

"What? Really?"

"Yeah. And when Leticia was applying cure on him, Josh saw the scene and beat the guy up."

"Josh...Josh...Oh, the berserker! Yeah, I can believe he would do that!"

After taking right at the farming camp, I reached the refugees camp but seeing how full it already was, I decided it was time to expand it.

"Bia, wait here will all your village folks, after I finish expanding this place I will come back to make some space to you."

Expanding the elves camp was quite easy as I was already used to the task, in a less than an hour I multiplied it's size and left it ready to be used.

"Stone, good night."

"Good night Plate, what's up?"

"Two things, first, as you can see, there is a bunch of new elves for you to take care of. Second one, they left a bunch of dead wolves in the mountain path, I want you to organize a team and bring those corpses to the dungeon asap."

"Damn Plate, you just said it's already night time and you want me to go out!?"

"That's why you should hurry. The faster you finish it, the lower the chance their smell will attract more wolves here. We are already being hunted by orcs, we don't need wolves joining them."

"Sigh...all right."

"Make sure to explain the rules to the newcomers as well."

"Suuuuure...."

Now that we had concluded all our tasks here, it was time to make the human`s refugee camp.

"Hey Bia, I'm back."

"Plate, welcome back."

"So, what do you guys need for your camp?"

"What do we need? Hmm.... What do you mean?"

"For the elves, for example, I made a dozen private toilets, there are pillars with hooks so they can setup their hammocks, and I also made a big fountain where they can fetch water."

"I see... Well, no need for the pillars, we prefer beds, as for the other things, I think for now you can go with the same, and we will keep you occupied as we get new ideas."

"All right."

With that decided, I made the Human's refugee camp on the opposite side of the elves and because there were no pillars, the job was finished even faster than the elves.

So, reviewing the layout, the Elves were on the North, the Humans on the South, there was a T crossing uniting both to the West side of the Farming camp. To the North of the farming camp was the entrance, to South the stairs after one empty room guarded by the Skeleton Lancers, and to West was the Warehouse, Chicken house and Princess Room.

Maybe I should install some pillars on the Princess Room, she should be feeling uncomfortable with the stone bed...

"Plate, this place is incredible! Maybe I should consider moving permanently to here..."

"Hehe, thanks but please don't. You boyfriend will kill me."

"Hmm...You are right, he probably will..."

Just then Stone arrived, bringing good news.

"Plate, all wolves were brought over, do you want to see them?"

"No need. Take what you need and just let the Dungeon do it's job."

"Eh!? You want the Dungeon to devour them?"

"Yes, I need some Mana to fulfill a promise and those wolves would be perfect!"

"Hmm... all right, then I will just take the pelts..."

"Hey hey! Can I have the meat!?"

"Plate, who is the lady?"

"This is Bia, daughter of the Village's chief. Due to some circumstances she is taking his place..."

"HEY! Don't go presenting me as the temporary chief! That should be my brother's job!!!"

"But in the end, it's always left to you, right? So you might as well take the title!"

"No way! I don't want to be Chief!!!"

"Stop crying and accept reality."

"...All right, you can take the meat, so stop crying..."

It seems like Stone's heart is not made of stone...

"Thanks!"

"But be warned that because they were killed some time ago, the meat may smell a little..."

"No problem!"

Taking our the meat and pelt took a bit of time, but in another hour or so, with everybody's help, everything had been separated and organized.

"Thanks for the meat. Good night!" ^^

Saying her thanks, Bia left with many meat packages on her hand.

"All right, leave the bones on the ground and the Dungeon will take care of it, I will be right back with a big present. Stone, last one for the night..."

"Sigh...say it..."

"Call the kids in 15 minutes. Wake them up if necessary!"

"Really? Shouldn't you leave it for tomorrow?"

"No way! I promised I would give it to him today. I need to keep my word."

"...ok..."

"Teleport, Dungeon Core!"

...

Arriving at the Dungeon Core, I searched for my possible options.

"All right, we got 240u Mana! Let's see what kind of dog we can get..."

After looking at my choices and filtering what I couldn't summon, my options boiled down to these three:

[Giga Wolf (baby)]

Hmm, as expected we have no dogs, only wolves.

I know the boy have asked for a big one, but the Giga is a bit too big...

The hungry wolf sounds dangerous, but so does the Thunder one...

Well, let's go with the Thunder. On baby stage it shouldn't be able to summon thunders yet so he shouldn't be too much of a threat to the children...

With everything decided, I went back to the first floor to meet the kids.

"Yesterday I promised the winner a pet. Today I will fulfill the promise! Look!"

Saying so, I draw the summoning circle, added the material and called it's name.

"Summon! Thunder Wolf baby!"

[Confirm Summon?]

"Yes!!!"

The summoning circle lighted up and a thick ray of light appeared on it. As soon as it vanished, all material was gone and on it's place a sleepy bright yellow wolf puppy was found.

""""Oh!!!!""""

"Go ahead, take it."

The boy slowly approached the puppy and took it in his hands.

"Hehehe, great! Thanks uncle!"

T_T

Please, don't call me uncle....

"It was a promise. Work hard everyone! So you can get a pet like this!"

"Cool! I want a dragon!"

"And me, a tiger!"

"I would be happy with a horse..."

"Sheep are the best!"

So I left the kids while they started discussing what they wanted to have, meanwhile no one noticed the boy's hair was slowly rising up as if it was alive.
