I look at the massive building in front of me and can feel a faint calling coming from that place. It is the biggest castle in the entire city, and I can imagine how majestic it was during the Golden Age of Valyria.
"What should we do now, Your Highness?"
I look at Captain Harlan and say.
"I need you and fifty people to stay here to ensure the undead do not attack the ship. As for the rest of you, you will come with me. We will explore this place. Ser Willem."
"Yes, Your Highness?"
Willem walks forward, and I say.
"We will rest here tonight. Pick the group that will come with us tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness! Pick the camping equipment!"
Ser Willem barks an order at the others, and I can see them taking one of the chests out of the ship. From the chest, they take out three campfires and three massive pots. They light the campfire using flint and steel and put the pots on it.
Letting the others cook us some food, I decided to sit on the boulder near me.
"Are you nervous, my lord?"
I look to the side and see Melisandre walk toward me with a smile.
"A little bit, yes."
"It is okay to be nervous, my lord. As long as you don't let that nervousness overcome your judgment, it is okay to be nervous."
"Thank you, Melisandre. Don't worry. I will not let this nervousness overcome my judgment. I am only nervous because we will get deeper into the unknown. The journey we overcame was already hard, and I don't know what kind of trial we will encounter from now on."
"Whatever that trial was, I know you will overcome it. You also need to remember that we are here for you. We are your servants. We are your limbs. We are willing to take some of the burden on your shoulders. We are here for you, my lord. Don't forget that."
I look at her for a second before smiling.
"You are right. Thank you, Melisandre. We will overcome this trial and take whatever Lord R'hllor wanted me to take."
"Fufufufu~ There you go."
I nod and get down from the boulder.
"For now, help me build a shelter for all of us. Tell the others to take out seven chests from the ship. The ones that I label building material."
I need to build a small fortress around the ship to protect the ship and us. Usually, it will take a month to build a small fortress in my mind. However, with the power of a Minecraft player, I can build a fortress in an hour or two.
==Five hours later==
I nod my head at my creation. We now have a seven-meter tall wall surrounding us with two towers facing the land. I also surround the ship with a wall and connect the fortress and the ship using a bridge made of cobblestone.
I create a barrack for the people and put down all the beds we bring so they can sleep. Because of Ser Willem and Melisandre's request, I built a three-story tall house for myself. A king needs a bigger place to stay than his soldier, even though I am okay with a one-story, tall box house.
Building all of these requires a lot of cobblestones, and we do not bring enough. Luckily, I can build a cobblestone farm using lava and water. The others are the ones farming the cobblestones while I collect them to build the fortress.
"Good work, Your Highness. Please rest now. You have already done more than enough."
I look at Ser Willem and accept the food in his hands.
"Thank you. Have you picked the people we will bring with us tomorrow?"
"Yes, Your Highness. They are the best of the best and can fight in all kinds of places. They are also the ones that will protect you with their life."
I nod and start to eat the food. The food is great. With the help of a Minecraft chest, we can bring a lot of salt and other spices with us. We can use a lot of it for our food without worrying about running out. I also can use my power to get more. The journey here is long. It was long enough for me to recharge my power multiple times. Sadly, I don't have time to enter the Minecraft world because of how dangerous the journey here is.
"Not bad. Give my complement to the one cooking this."
"I will tell them, Your Highness. They will be happy to know that you enjoy the food they cook."
"While you are here, can you pick someone we can bring to scout ahead? I need to know what kind of place we will soon enter and plan our journey. Our destination is the biggest castle in the center of the ruin."
Willem nods his head and says.
"I know someone who has light feet and sharp eyes. He will scout ahead of us."
"Good. Send him to scout ahead and make sure to give him some of the potions. Tell him if it is too dangerous to retreat. I don't want him to die."
"I will tell him that, Your Highness."
"Good."
I nod and continue to enjoy my food. The stew is good, and by combining it with the fluffy bread I made using Minecraft Power, the food goes from 6/10 to 8/10.
After eating the food, I decided it was time for me to go to sleep. I am tired.
I walk to the bathroom I made to contain the infinite water sources and clean myself. The smoke and ashes around the area make my body easily dirty. The ash and dirt easily stick to my body when combined with the sweat from hard work.
After cleaning myself, I walk to my room and widen my eyes when I see Melisandre already waiting for me on the bed while not wearing anything.
"My lord~ Let this Melisandre take care of your body. I shall make sure your body is fresh when you wake up."
Just like a fisherman fall for a Siren, I fall for her charm.
