Chapter 20: Remaining Introductions

The other summons ended up turning out to be exactly what he needed for building his city.

The Gold summon turned out to be a high elf inventor named Sigurd who loved to make new contraptions. Apparently all he remembered, other than his skills, was that he was considered an outcast of his kind. However, it wasn't his inventive mind that Rosario was so excited about when he had spoken with the eccentric elf, but the man's secondary proficiency. Apparently as the elves didn't like him inventing they kept him busy as an architect for hire for human cities. He was at the Master Proficiency in Architecture.

Sigurd looked like most fantasy elves, his golden hair matched that of the Divas present while his ears were around 6 inches long. He actually had slightly elongated incisors like a vampire would have. All his features were sharp from his jaw line to his cheek bones. He was tall, like the earth's fabled high elves, standing at 6'3" (190.5 cm) and carried himself with dignity and poise.

The Yellow Summon had been an Asura woman named Andromina, she had been an Enchanter and Engraver in her previous life and still remembered those skills. She had already offered her services in upgrading the mask Rosario was wearing.

Like all Asura she had dusky skin color with black hair and fierce red eyes. She was not as curvy as Ivana, she was more athletic looking and skinnier like a long-distance runner. She stood around 5'8" (172.7 cm) tall and she carried herself with a stoic demeanor.

The second blue summon (the first having been Tormund) was a female Diva. She had the same angelic-like face as Ivana but was much younger. Rosario couldn't help but to think, she couldn't have been much older than 20 when she had died, to end up as a summon. She too had golden hair, but her eyes were a forest green. She had a cute button nose, a gymnast body, and only came up to the very bottom of Rosarios chest, she wasn't more than 5'1" (155 cm). When he asked what her skills where she admitted she did not have any unlike the others before her. She couldn't remember anything combat related nor a profession. Her name was Silph Bramholm and Rosario had to take a couple minutes to reassure the girl he wasn't going to cast her out just because she had no specialties.

The remaining 3 summons where from the black inscribed velums. All three were men and were a perfect fit as they referred to themselves as laborers. Of course, anyone can be whatever they wanted in this world as there were no classes, but these gents' proficiencies were geared towards heavy lifting, construction, farming, and other odd jobs.

Rosario was excited as it was off of these men's backs that his new Empire would be built.

Two of them were Asuran men, both had the characteristic skin, hair, and eyes. The first stood an impressive 6'4" tall (193cm) and had bulging muscles looking like he went to the gym every day, he definitely missed a leg day here and there though. His name was John, which really stunned Rosario as everyone had unique names up to that point.

The second Asura man was not as bulky as his partner but had more of a swimmer's body. He had Asuran characteristics like the others and stood around 5'10" (177.8 cm). He introduced himself as Joseph and noted that he had stone masonry as a proficiency.

The last was a Diva man name Herald, he just like John, looked like a body builder however, unlike John he definitely didn't skip leg day. His face looked like it was chiseled from marble and Rosario felt like he was looking at Prince Charming from Shrek. Herald stood around 6'6" (198.12 cm) tall and could almost look the Minotaur, Bolog, in the eyes.

After learning everyone's names and proficiencies Rosario walked back out to stand in front of them again. Folding his arms behind his back in what he hoped to look like a dignified posture he wrapped up the introductions so that they could get down to business.

"Thank you all for the information you have provided. Behind me is Tormund he is an Asura and as my first summon he will currently fill the roll of my steward. Ivana and Bolog I will rely on you both for your combat expertise to train not only me but everyone here. From what I know, we will come to disagreements with others and at that time I believe it will be best to have our entire population trained to defend themselves. With that being said I will be creating a Spartan like society."

Seeing the puzzled faces Rosario forgot that they would not know what a Spartan society would be and explained.

"The society I look to build will be a militaristic society, every person will serve in the military for a set amount of time. For those who have served their time they will be allowed to leave and pursue other careers without influence from anyone. If anyone chooses to make a career out of the military they will be more than welcome too. However, anyone who does leave will be required to go to bi-weekly drills that will be set up for a whole day to keep their fighting instincts, shape, and reactions intact. If we are ever invaded I want the enemy to have to face such terrible resistance at such a heavy price that they will never want to invade again."

 "In return, I as your Lord will do my best to invest in my people, I will put you, my citizens growth, over my own personal wealth. I will not greedily horde money and tax excessively the people under me. While serving in the military our people will be encouraged to try all different hobbies and craftsmanship to find what they are passionate about or good at."

"Of course these are my thoughts, I am not so delusional to think I know everything and will accept any advice that is given. However, what I will not tolerate is anyone who would think they can undermine my authority and challenge me for leadership. I am the Lord of this settlement and that will not change. Anyone who would dare to betray me or the Empire we will create, will be removed from this life permanently."

Rosario had accidentally released pressure from his aura onto his new summons making some of them fall to their knees while the most powerful felt as if they had fallen in quicksand and could only move extremely slowly.

After a few seconds, that felt like forever for his summons, of intense silence Rosario relaxed again and his aura retracted back around him subconsciously.

"Now that, that is all out of the way we will need to begin working on shelter and food. Sigurd I do not have any blueprints right now, but I do plan on going down to the forest to hunt and gather wood. While we are gone can you please walk around this plateau and begin planning out a Fortified City. The main castle will need to be protecting the Summoning Gate and the Cave over there."

Pointing at the cave entrance, Rosario continued. "That reminds me, no one is allowed in that cave unless I say you can go in there. If I find anyone in there, I don't care how useful you are you will be killed. By me. Tormund, Bolog, Ivana, and I will discuss the cave and its contents later."

With Rosarios glance at them both Ivana and Bolog nodded their heads. Curiosity filled them with what could be in the cave that the Lord would be giving out death threats, but they figured they would find out in due time when he spoke with them about it.

"Sigurd I do not have surveying equipment with me but is there a weapon you use. As I will be taking everyone else to increase their levels and gather wood I would like to know that if I leave you behind I can trust you to defend yourself."

"Sire, all Elves are schooled in multiple weapons as we grow up, I am most proficient in bows and swords."

Nodding Rosario unsheathed his bowie knife from his belt and flipped it, so he held the blade. He walked over to Sigurd handing him the knife handle first while speaking to him.

"Use this for now, we will have to search for a mine to see if its possible to make more weapons for everyone."

Looking at everyone else he signaled them to follow him as he announced their departure.
