We did sold most of the treasures we got from the dungeon,earning us two thousands gold coins and with those you can live without worries for a dozen of years, but we kept the useful stuff we found,like all kind of potions,metals and rare ingredients.
What we sold were the artifacts,books,grimoires,weapons and armours since those are something we won't need.
In fact in terms of weapons and artifacts,I think we are okay, while we still lack decent armours we can just find a blacksmith to produce a decent armor,providing him with the materials we have.
In fact the next time I meet Theresa,I will ask her to introduce me a good blacksmith.
Now let's thoroughly talk about the Tower of trials which is now stored inside my soul, and dungeons in general.
This is what Core told me the moment I became the owner of the dungeon,owner and ruler of those residing within in it meaning Core is also under my control, still it seems there are informations that she still can't say.
Dungeons are places where monsters and treasures are generated artificially by the core of the dungeon.
From what?
From emotions.
Whether monster,boss or an adventurer, all of them have emotions and the moment one releases such thing the core absorbs that kind of energy and using that energy it creates other monsters and treasures to gain again those emotions.
By generating treasures it attracts people from entering, and when a person spots,opens and gets a treasure it will release a kind of emotion.Or the moment one levels up.
By generating monsters,the monsters fight those who enters,making it so that both will release emotions:fear,rage,glee etc...Artificially created monsters can also reproduce and create a civilization on their own,obviously if given time and a proper enviroment.
If the core wants,it can create sentient monsters,while they will not be monsters but sentient beings they will still be considered as monsters.But it is rare that a core does that other than creating them as bosses as the energy cost is too high at the same time a sentient monster might provide more energy than a normal one.A core can also create all kind things as long as there's energy.
A dungeon cannot exist without that energy but there is no problem as the monsters inside provide enough 'energy' to sustain itself.
Why do such thing or what is the purpose of their existence?Unknown.
Now then, other than the seed and the [Eyes of ???] there is the Dungeon of trials residing in my soul,together with the other two.
Other than giving me benefits there were no side effects on having three things inside my soul adding the living beings inside the dungeon.
In fact what is a soul,how can a soul store things,if it can store things then can I use my own-let's stop here,that is for another time.
What we are doing now is to summon Core and the fourteen bosses I encountered.
Since I contributed,provided them the seed and treated as a special guest,we were given an entire darkwood tree for ourselves in a place devoid of other trees and people.
I specifically sent Velena and Ira to buy me some things, as this is still a foreign place for the two of them they will take some time to return.I will introduce them to the others but for now it is better to not do it.
Closing my eyes,I pictured the image of the fifteen and desired for them to appear...
Then...fifteen orbs of light left my body and then they materialized...
Humility,A nun representing the virtue of humility.
Pride,A woman demon representing the sin of pride.
Kindness,A seemingly motherly woman representing the virtue of kindness.
Envy,An androgynous child representing the sin of envy.
Wrath,A grey wolf wearing the skin of a sheep representing the sin of wrath.
Meekness,The skin of a sheep representing the virtue of meekness.
Diligence,An old woman holding a libra representing the virtue of diligence.
Sloth,A sloth representing the sin of sloth.
Charity,A young priestess wearing a white robe representing the virtue of charity.
Greed,A red fox representing the sin of Greed.
Temperance,A man devoid of its limbs representing the virtue of temperance.
Gluttony,A big and fat pig standing in its own two feet representing the sin of gluttony.
Chastity,A pure young woman wearing heavy clothes representing the virtue of chastity.
Lust,A lustful young woman wearing nothing representing the sin of lust.
Core,Her body is made entirely of steel yet,its gender is unknown but I refer as a she.She is the core of the Dungeon of Trials.
The moment they appeared,they kneeled,well some a sort of kneeling,I almost said aloud this thought 'Ah!I'll make sure to use you well and as efficient as possible'
Clearing my throat,I address all of them.
"Hello!We see again!" I greet them with my sweetest and fakest smile.
I think they know after seeing my smile they were going to work hard.
I will not stick around with the elves for that long after seeing the full grown tree I plan to visit other territories and maybe conquer dungeons.
And to do that I need not only strenght but also numbers.I'm not talking about a small team but a small army.A small army that will be always with me.
I plan to build my own force,like I said before a dungeon can create and generate sentient monsters,and I plan to build inside the dungeon a city of such monsters, the process might take a bit of time but not only the result will be outstanding but I only need to give orders and everything will be done by my slav-I mean my subordinates.
And think about it,when such things will be released to the outside,I wonder what kind of things we can do.
I specifically summoned them not only with the intent to give them roles for my future plans and confirm if such thing can be done,but also what they can do.I'm talking about combat.And I'll be the one testing them.
I always wanted to try the effects of [Demonic user]
I hope they can last long.
