Chapter 6 - Guardian

Days passed and our activity still the same, we tend to the farm and the new live stock, we also get pigs, horses, we get many more farm animals of course we only take those herbivore, we get many dairy products from the farm, not to mention they give good fertilizers.

What am I doing right now? I am on the kitchen all day trying to make soy sauce. although I make few they are all failed products some times it`s too bitter and sometimes it`s almost no taste at all, I am trying many kinds of beans here, but one soy sauce almost reach a perfect taste, I also try to make cheese.

Since we all have many time to spare, and no one can attack the dungeon rather than idling around we busy ourselves like this, Marina also grasp the race changing magic, she`s a diligent student.

If anyone asked me about this boring life? I am gonna say that it`s perfect, a life away from war and any conflict that will lead away to war is great.

Oh and days ago, we have new tenant, they are called hell spider, one of the Abyssal Wolf find it and take back here, and now they are nesting near the dungeon, they also make a great silk, Micalagua is good at making cloth, so she make a weaving tools, now girls who is not tending the farm make cloths or sheets, and those Hell Spider love to give them threads in exchange of food, since they do mutual exchange I don`t bother them, I just let them do what they want.

"Your Majesty, are we gonna go to that town?" Marina asked, now that she said that I promise that we will visit the town again, after all we need kitchen tools and many other tools. "Your going to the town your majesty?" Rea asked, and I nod then she jump happily in front of me.

"Can I visit the town too? I never see a town here. And I want too look around." Rea said, well there is no harm on that, so I agree, soon we get the wooden baskets and we go to the town.

I also found out that the Abyssal Wolf can breakthrough space, that is why travelling to that little town is too easy, they break to space to shorten our travelling time, isn`t that a pretty great skill? So rather than days to travel to the town from the center of the Abyss Forest it took us only 30 minutes, how convenient is that. Soon we saw that town, but rather than a great town we saw few wooden houses get burned.

"Is this place always like this?" Rea asked. "Of course not, they are being raided." Marina said and I nod, so I look around and saw people running here and there.

"Reasus, stop this madness!" I said and Rea smile and soon flame appear around her before she took a flight and go to the center of the town. "Foolish human being who only know to mess." Rea said and for the first time seeing a bird made of flame shocked everyone.

"Leave this town alone and never to come back!" Rea said, I don`t know why but this ruthless little girl give the raiders a chance, well it`s not like that I oppose it, but since it`s Rea`s decision I let her be, soon the town raiders scatter away from the town and I saw the Mayor.

"I will not asked what happen, but where is my tools?" I asked and the Mayor`s face become more paler. "I apologize great Adventurer but those bandits took all the tools we made!" The Mayor said and I look at Reasius` and her flame become darker.

"Foolish creatures! taking what is ours is a grave sin!" Then the Abyssal Wolves also howl and run to the bandits, I also jump on Reasius` back and look, I found out that the wolves are now circling all the bandits around and growling, Reasius and I go to that direction and I jump down on Reasius`s back and she also stand at my back in her human form again.

"Gentlemen, you`ve taken something that should be belong to us." I said and I smell the smell of blood from them so I sign, after all many town`s folk and soldiers died on that raid, now this is a problem also in our side. "I am planning to be lenient as much as possible but you guys kill many town`s folk, what would happen if their crop`s harvest dwindle more and my people get hungry?" I asked smiling but not really a smile.

"And since you touch a place that I must take care and try to take the thing suppose to be our, you all need to die now!" I said smiling, torturing their minds before they die is truly great, and looking at their faces changing color is too funny.

"Wait!" The Bandit leader said so before the wolves attack I stop them. "Any last words?" I asked of course I let them have their little curses. "We are just being ordered to raid that town!" The Bandit leader said, then I look to his eyes and I can see fear, people like this can`t lie anymore.

"Now that`s interesting, who try to attack my little business partners?" I asked, the bandits gulped and look at their leader, I could see little hope in their eyes. "If we said who it is, would you spare our lives?" The Bandit leader asked then I smirked.

"Negotiation can only applied if the two party have the same power or an equal footing, by the looks of it, I am the only person who could decide your fate and you guys don`t have a choice! now tell me, who is this imbecile?!" I said in a louder voice and the bandits lost it`s color probably lost all hope.

"It`s a nobleman from the city, he is interested on how this people get those high class meat from the Abyss Forest." The Bandit`s leader said and I nod. "So my gift is what lead to this? So are you saying it`s my mistake for giving them those meats?" I said smiling and they all shook their head.

"One of you report to that nobleman tell him that death is coming tonight, and the others follow me back to the town!" I said and we all walked back, I see some broken houses and corpse all around, now this is a problem almost 75% of the town`s folk died, this is indeed a problem for the crops, I saw the other people glare at the bandits.

I could sense their anger, but at the end of day I could understand them, they lost their love ones. Humans tend to be closed to their family and friends after all.

"Get all the corpses on the town`s central now!" I orders and look to the bandits also bandits. "Help them take the corpses on town`s central, don`t even think about running, or else." I said and snap my fingers soon the Batibats appear on their backs. "I will tell you a little secret, you don`t want to die in their hand, it is worse than death." I said and the Batibats vanish ones more and they are now in fear. I sit next to the fountain, Reasius also sit next to me, and Marina is happy looking at our new kitchen tools, she`s really happy seeing it, the wolves also help get the bodies, soon they are all piled up in front of me.

"For the love of unholy! don`t just piled them up like that, line them perfectly!" I shout and the town`s folk, soldiers and the bandits line them all to the ground then I get my staff and raise it to the sky.

"Life is mine to take, Life is mine to give! Resurrection!" I said and soon magic circles appear at the forehead of the corpses and soon they open their eyes, the people who witnessed the magic was shock, and some even kneeled to the ground, even the bandits slumped to the ground.

Soon the people run to their love ones who got resurrected, as for me, I just yawn, and the Batibats help us put the baskets filled with our kitchen and farming tools, but when I look at the back I saw all the people of the town even the bandits kneeling and praying to me, and the mayor walk near to me.

"Great God!" He said and I smirk. "I am nod a god." I said, god? they are nothing but my meal after all. "But your people has Halos, only those God`s messenger has Halos!" The Mayor said I look at my people and they are having a hard time controlling their laughter.

"I am not a God and they are not God`s Messenger BS, they are all my people. I am Sauron! and I am not a God!" I said and the Mayor nod, I know that he don`t mean that nod I can still saw the reverence in his eyes, since I can`t change their mind let them think whatever they want.

"You bandits will help them rebuild this city and take care of the crops, I will get those and here is the payment for this kitchen tools!" I said and throw him a sack of gold and silver, after the Mayor catch my payment he also kneel to the ground.

"Great Guardian Sauron!" The Mayor said and the others also follow, curse those gods, this people are crazy. "We will leave now, I will order my people to get the crops in the harvest season." I said and we walked away and they give us a path and they are all cheering, even this mother fucking bandits are cheering. curse those gods and goddesses above!

I look at the farm and the soil is too dry, then I saw Marina shoot the hill and a crater appear in that place, god what is this girl`s doing and before I understand what she was doing I saw her jump and shoot laser like thing from her fist on the crater and after that water suddenly burst out like fountain, we look at her and she just smile.

"Your Majesty I can find the water veins under the ground, I just connect the water veins to the crater." Marina said, and when the people saw that they all start to bow again and thank me. Hey! it`s Marina`s doing! not me you bow to her not me!

I decided one thing and one thing alone! I will never set my foot in this town ever again! the gods must be crazy in this land!
