23 『Spawns』 (1/2)

Sifting through the mercenary system once more, he would flick on down the list. Looking over the types of things he could bring into this world if he truly wanted to. Anything from golems to monstrous beasts. He liked the fact that he could spawn a number of Automatons at will, but he didn't necessarily need an army.

Turning on the sorting tool, the monsters and other spawnable mercenaries would ultimately appear under certain categories: Heteromorphic and Humanoid. There were plenty of Knights he could spawn, something that would actually fit into this world.

He wondered if these beings could procreate with this world's population.

Based on the knowledge of the Godkin from the Slane Theocracy, it was quite clear that those who had been born from players or maybe even NPCs, could reach higher levels than normal.

His thoughts went towards Enri for a moment. Imagining her having given birth to a dragonoid of some sort. As again from his knowledge, there was a possibility of a Dragonoid being born from a human-dragon encounter as evidenced by the Dragon Kingdom's Queen to the South.

She was able to change her shape from human to dragon, and even have multiple humanoid forms, one being a child and the other being a curvaceous adult woman.

If he had indeed impregnated Enri with today's act, would she give birth to a being such as that? The idea was intriguing, which meant that he could 'create' future subordinates to do his bidding.

Caressing his chin in curiosity, he looked at the treasury record of how much gold was current. With all of the guild members combined, there was almost a trillion gold that had been put in.

Letting out a quiet simper, he closed his eyes taking in the sentimental memories of adventures, that he had with his friends. Then his eyes went back towards the spawn menu, another question coming to mind. If he were to spawn monsters and then kill or devour them, would he still gain their accumulated levels, experience and skills?

Could he use them to power level his current staff members, or even this worlds natives? Perhaps he could force a group of adventurers to fight waves in the eighth level arena.

If they died, he'd just resurrect them and the battle would continue. The idea sounded sadistic, but it was something he wanted to experiment with. He would take a group that was to strong, but not one that was too weak either.

From the information given to him on the Adventurer's Guild, he was sure a Silver-Ranked Adventurer Party would be the perfect match. Or he could hire a worker party, they were probably more expensive, but there would no one to actively look for them should they up and disappear one day.

There were plenty of options, if not too many.

”I am curious though...” He uttered under his breath as he looked at the open door of the Throne Chambers. ”If there were another Guild Base in this world, could I take control over it? In turn, would I lose control of this one if I did?”

This question he asked aloud, wasn't answered. Based on the stories of the City south from the Slane Theocracy, the one once owned by the Eight Greed Kings, he was sure he could test this theory. He was sure that the city itself may be a Guild Base, as his own was a City as well.

Tapping one of the cheapest Knights on the list in front of him, a being would spawn from a splash of light that erupted in the center of the Throne Room.

A male knight in blackened light plate armor and a purple plume on his helmet. At his side was a iron sword with a silvery sheen to it, and on his right arm was a kite shield. ”I have come, My Lord.” Was the words that echoed from its helmet, eerily at that.

The being then approached the throne and knelt down. ”What are your orders, My Lord?”

”I hate to be prudent, but show your face, Knight.” He crossed his arms and looked down at the Mercenary he had just spawned, very much curious of him.

The Knight froze for a moment hearing the man speak, ”My Lord. You are expected to be Prudent for such manners. I do apologize,” reaching up with both hands, the Knight removed his helmet and tucked it under his arm.

His face revealed was adorned with long white hair that traveled down past his shoulders. He had thin silvery grey brows, and violet-blue eyes, along with sickly pale skin and a rounded head. Elven ears protruded from the sides of his head, his hair initially forming wings over them.

”Your name, Sir Knight?” Jack simpered at his use of etiquette, it was strange on the tongue.

”My name is Edmund.” The man looked up to Jack, staring at those Amethyst eyes, curiously.

”You may stand, Sir Edmund.” Jack rose his hand as to be at ease, allowing the newly spawned Knight to be relaxed. ”You are to be apart of an experiment of mine, my good Sir.”

The Knight did not fear death at the hands of this man, but he did sound cautious as he wondered what this experiment may entail. So he had no choice but to question, ”An Experiment...?”

”Leveling,” he responded as he gestured towards the door. ”Walk with me.”

Nodding the Knight would follow Jack as he made his way out of the Chambers and towards the stairwell down to the lower floors. He felt more in the mood to walk, than to use his ring for the time being.

About an hour or so later, after traversing the rest of the ninth floor, they made their way onto the eighth. As they were entering the Arena, the came to a stop as they were walking through the stands that overlooked it.

The sky in this floor did not have a daytime or a nighttime sky. Instead the floor itself had a sky filled of clouds with ambient rain and the sound of thunder. This floor was not a happy place and unless one enjoyed thunder and lightning, or rain of all things. The only bonus of inhabiting this place was the unlimited water supply, which like the city itself.

”What shall I be fighting against, My Lord?”

Glancing over towards the Knight, Jack raised a brow, gesturing towards tons of terrified Goblins who were in cages within one of closed gate the arena entrances. ”During the exploitation of nearby mineral deposits, we've captured a number of specimens. It's time to put them to use.”
