After the shock of finding out that 340 years have passed, we ask some more questions nothing really important was brought up except for the state of the world. It's been left in a terrible state for kingdoms that needed to rebuild after the March most becoming slave states for the major kingdoms after being unable to pay back loans outlined in their contracts. The slave states now work in fields and do all of the hard work like harvesting food, gathering minerals everything. The Stanford kingdom where we're at has many slave states causing a peaceful area aside from the slave states in their kingdom. While other kingdoms like the Arkright. has it hard as they were one of the small kingdoms to come out of economic collapse and become independent. Almost bordering the start of The March They even abolished kingdoms that fight for slave states and they liberated a couple of slave states to join their kingdom.
After getting everything, the Tavern keep had to offer Elinor and I left to figure out what we should do now. After teleporting using the Barkah we collected our thoughts and said what we thought before I could speak Elinor took the stage.
"Here's what I think there are a lot of things to do in a little time and I'm sure you want to do your revenge, but I think we need to focus on the bigger picture. We need to create a backing or get behind someone who can protect us. We just need more information and right now we have nothing but some measly power. I can still use my abilities and I'm sure you can unless something happens."
"I completely agree with you on this however it will take lots of time if we create backing and getting behind someone to gain merit takes even longer we need something surefire to work. Right now we have 5 problems so let's get them sorted out one by one we can do a couple here with the end goal being a place to stay with us under no one."
Elinor looked at me with a smile.
"You really know your stuff and I agree so why not take care of the slave state here wouldn't that be good to take this over"
"Elinor you're only looking in the short term the only reason the people of the slave states hate the Stanford is. That well their slave states they are not looking to be ruled again under another ruler they are looking for independence. We need to lose their condition and let them have fun but still have a collar on the states."
"I see now you're not looking to create change for them. you want them to be content with what's happening so you don't get chased out"
"Yep you'll have an important role to play in that but we have 5 things we need to get done before that"
"1 we need to fix our economic standing in this place. Without money, you can't do anything and honestly, I want to have some social standing when I become a villain to the world. I'll let you know again my role is as the villain."
"No worries I know I know"
"2 We need manpower that's under our authority this needs to be an organization brought out by us that handles anything and everything"
"3 Access. We have nothing aside from our souls. We need full access to this place and even the slave states which shouldn't be too inconvenient for us."
"4 We need merit. This is all ill say I'm sure you know more than anything what merit does to a reputation. The better your merit the better people will respect you"
"5 is something special and as I'm thinking of it theirs a 6th part so I'm only going to tell you this once and once only."
I leaned over to her ear and whispered word by word what I needed her to do and what the 5 and 6th problems were. After I was done she looked at me with a serious face.
"You're joking right because that's insane I can't do that"
I looked at her and with a bold voice and completely serious voice I said
"You will do it because its a must"
"Fine and you are the stupidest yet boldest person to live"
"I get that a lot from you any way we should work on the first problem after we are done with that we can separate and do what we need to do"
She looked cheerful and perked up and said with a gleeful smile.
"Yep let's go"
Before I could say anything and know where and what I was doing. I was walking to the merchant guild with the devious girl who did this in front of me. My outfit was the same and people noticed when I walked in. saying many shameful things to me like how could you wear something like that? Disrespectful to the dead? The disrespect to the great trinity. It bothered me. No, it made me infuriated with how they talked down to me it made me want to kill them right here and now, but I held out for the sake of our mission and went next to Elinor who was being admired for her beauty many trying to get her eyes for her to only look at me with a smile which made many people jealous and envious of me.
"Looks like someone is popular Elinor"
she laughed and looked at me pointing at the designs.
"I can say the same to you, even though they look amazing on you people still dare call you out"
we both chuckled.
"At least someone is on my side that's all I can say, my beautiful goddess"
she blushed hard.
"Who are you calling yours it would be the other way daring devil"
"I suppose your right"
We approached the employee looking at him with a smile. Smirking after saying at the same time. "The people here are deceitful and don't like either of our presence here" I continued alone "So I would like to talk to a higher-up about the poor atmosphere here it has ruined my and my poor goddess mood."
