Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 419 Dwarven Meals Are Sure Tasty

—–

After some more conversations, Helga and her husband quickly served us some delicious-looking meals. The dwarven meals were rich in mushrooms, beans, and meat the most, as they seemed to be able to harvest mushrooms from large cave sections where they planted edible ones in sections. Mushrooms grew relatively quickly compared to crops, so they had all sorts of mushrooms to eat which grew quickly and were the cheapest.

Aside from that, there are also various types of beans they grow around the mountain in large areas, these beans seem to be able to grow quickly and absorb the rich mana in the mountain’s rocks. They are said to have come from their original continent, Svartalfheim. Aside from that, they had many cattle animals, chickens, cows, and pig made up most of what they had, which multiplied quickly. Vegetables were the rarest thing they had and they often were imported from the Goldsand Confederation, alongside fruits, being often quite expensive. Oh right, tubers were also quite common and grew in mountain dirt just fine, such as potatoes and carrots.

Due to these mountains being farther from the cold and only their peaks being covered in snow, they often received the grace of the sun a few times per week, good enough for whatever crops they had to grow. Of course, the usage of special magic tools to artificially enhance plant growth was also there, and they had even designed similar things to make cattle grow faster as well.

Of course, they consumed monster meat in large quantities too, and it was often cheaper. There was Salamander Meat and Man-Eating Fish meat in the table. The man-eating fish was a giant fish capable of swallowing an entire person that swam inside of large pools inside of dungeons, while the Salamander was a big, two-meter-long lizard that had fire breath, it was the weakest member of the dragon-type monster family, and its meat was rather common.

“It’s not the fanciest but I hope you can enjoy it.” Helga said, putting everything over the large table.

The delicious dishes lined up just nicely, and without holding back at all, we began to dig in almost as if our lives depended on it. The last time we ate a full meal was yesterday at around 5 PM, we had been only eating dried meat, bread, fruits, and juice/water ever since then, and mostly snacking it. I haven’t really eaten anything myself so everybody else could eat their fill, I was a ghost so it wasn’t even necessary for me to eat, I only did it out of enjoyment.

“Oooh! This stew is delicious. It has been a long time since I’ve eaten such tasty beans.” I said while being enchanted by the simplistic red stew seasoned with red pepper that had beans, potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms, and salamander meat cut into little chunks. The five children were devouring their plates happily too.

“Yeah, the food is delicious.” Emeraldine said. “It is filled with the warmth of a family.”

“Haha, you’re going to make me blush! It is something simple we make through the week. The beans are a specialty of our country, they’re grown all over the mountain and we consume them daily.” Said Helga.

“You can purchase some in the market, they’re often sold in kilogram bags.” Said Myriad.

“Thanks for the info! Will do, I want my people to taste these delicious beans as well, to be honest.” I said happily.

After that, we tasted the delicious fish. This fish was also a monster and considered a “cave fish”, apparently there’s a small dungeon near the city which is like an enormous cave with many ponds or small underground lakes, fish monsters appear all around in there, with an occasional Salamander. They said the dungeon was only D Rank at most in difficulty, so we could get there and just grab a bunch of fish and salamander meat later.

“So what is Baldur and Balladur planning to do?” Wondered Helga.

“We came here to go back to the guild, missy.” Said Baldur.

“We are looking for news about what had happened, probably we want to look at our apprentices and see how they’re doing.” Balladur said.

“Wait a second…” Myriad said. “You two are… Baldur and Balladur, the two old twins?! T-The ones blessed by the goddess of earth and the god of blacksmith?!” Asked the Oni in shock.

“Yeah, we are.” Said Baldur.

“Hm! We are now going to work for Maria.” Said Balladur.

“T-This is an honor! T-To think you were enslaved, this is really something impactful… I am grateful for meeting you two in here!” Myriad said. “I admire your work so much; it was thanks to you that golems had advanced so much into what we had accomplished right now! I grew up admiring your job!”

Myriad got all emotional out of nowhere.

“Hahaha, no worries, youngling.” Laughed Baldur.

“Don’t lower your head to us, we are just, at the end, a pair of old men.” Laughed Balladur.

At the end, the dwarves ended talking a lot with Myriad, the Oni, and gave him some insights about his work when he tried to show them what he had been working for all this time. When lunch ended, the children quickly went back to what they were doing, they are already practicing and learning how to maintain the shop clean, how to organize things, and are even being taught how to craft stuff as well.

“I’ll take care of the kids for now, go on Helga.” Said Myriad.

“Thank you honey.” Said Helga, as Myriad kneeled down to receive her hug and a kiss, and then petted her head.

“Let’s go now!” Said Helga, guiding us through the beautiful and large streets of Stoneville.

After a few minutes of walking and watching at the many wonders, we reached an enormous and tall building.

“This is the Guild, it manages both Guilds I spoke you about before, if those two old grandpas want to inform they’re back, this is the best place to do it.”
