It wasn't until noon the next day that Draco leisurely climbed out of bed.
In the dining room, Shuna walked over carrying lunch.
"Shuna, how did this morning's class go?"
"Um..."
Shuna's cheeks turned slightly red. "It should be fine; they seemed to like my class quite a bit."
"Good, that's fine then."
Draco nodded with satisfaction.
After finishing his meal, Draco went alone to the lava world of the Seventh Floor.
That was the area guarded by Demiurge; Draco had come today to summon a residence for him.
The Scorching Temple, a building that looked like a Demon King's castle, rose above the lava.
Next, Draco went to the Second Floor.
He prepared to summon Shalltear's residence, the Death-Wax Chamber.
But when he arrived at the area of the Death-Wax Chamber, he heard the terrifying laughter of Shalltear and Solution.
Along with the hysterical screams of men.
Draco sensibly chose to leave the place silently.
Since he had nothing to do, he wandered through several floors.
While passing the Fourth Floor, Draco caught sight of a yellow figure beneath the giant underground lake.
That was Gargantua, the Guardian of the Fourth Floor.
A massive statue over thirty meters tall, with two legs and two arms, looking as if it were made of stone.
On its thick stone chest, a faint red light pulsed like a heartbeat.
If one didn't consider its size, its thick limbs and stocky body were actually quite cute.
This was the only Guardian not created by the Supreme Beings.
It was an NPC that came with the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Because they couldn't find a place to put it, they submerged it in the Fourth Floor's underground lake and granted it the status of Guardian of the Fourth Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Ultimately, it was only used for siege warfare and definitely not for guarding the base.
In terms of pure strength, it was the strongest among the Guardians, even surpassing Shalltear.
It had no self-awareness and acted only upon orders; it usually stayed in a dormant standby state and required a lot of time to activate.
Once activated, it would be transferred outside.
Many aquatic monsters and demons also lived in the underground lake; Draco didn't disturb them and continued his stroll.
He arrived at the Sixth Floor.
Eclair and Mare were directing demons in planting wheat.
Then Mare used nature magic to quickly ripen the planted wheat; soon, the wheat field turned into a sea of golden ears.
"Oh! It seems the effect is quite good," Draco said in surprise.
Seeing Draco's arrival, the two stopped their work and bowed respectfully to him.
"Lord Draco." x2
Draco waved his hand. "No need for formalities, thank you for your hard work."
Eclair and Mare quickly shook their heads, saying it wasn't hard work.
"Mare, can this wheat produce seeds?"
Mare still had that timid and subservient look.
"Yes, yes it can. I can use 'Nature's Gift' to give the seeds a special growth form, and what's produced will be seeds."
"Mhm, well done."
Draco patted Mare's shoulder appreciatively.
Mare's face immediately flushed red.
"You two continue, I'll go look elsewhere."
After saying that, Draco walked toward the nearby arena.
Wheat seeds produced through Mare's 'Nature's Gift' cannot be accelerated; two types of nature magic cannot be stacked.
So, after the 1,000 jin of seeds were used up, they had to honestly start clearing land for farming.
But this was already enough.
A large amount of land had already been reclaimed in the forest of the Sixth Floor, capable of growing fruits and vegetables, as well as raising livestock like cattle and sheep.
With this batch of ripened wheat, the food problem had been basically solved.
Draco arrived at the Arena and found everyone training, drenched in sweat.
Even the three Little Leopard Girls, who were only ten years old, were working hard, swinging the short swords in their hands.
Cocytus was a weapon master who could use almost any weapon.
Furthermore, as a warrior, he had unique insights into training combatants.
Draco simply observed silently for a while before leaving.
Returning to his office on the Ninth Floor, Draco found that he seemed to have nothing left to do.
Most of the work had been assigned, and suddenly having nothing to do felt a bit strange.
Suddenly, he remembered that the system seemed to have given him a Guild Authority earlier.
Since he was idle anyway, Draco opened the system interface and began to research the functions of this Guild Authority.
After some tinkering, Draco understood.
In the game "Yggdrasill" itself, the function of the staff of ainz ooal gown was that it could modify NPC character information.
As the symbol of the Guild, it could also set some of the Guild's rules and such.
Holding the staff of ainz ooal gown was equivalent to holding control over the Guild.
"No wonder it opened up all the functions for me; so that was the reason."
Draco rubbed his chin in thought.
He had now figured out all the current functions of the Guild.
For example, spending gold coins to resurrect Guild members, or spending experience points to increase members' levels.
Additionally, the Guild Shop was open, allowing for the purchase and repair of various traps and mechanisms.
Having understood, Draco prepared to give it a try.
He clicked on Seis Delta's character interface.
A virtual image of Siz appeared before Draco's eyes, sporting a mechanical style with an eyepatch over her left eye, clad in camouflage gear and armor.
Originally, Siz's level was only Lv46.
Draco tapped the (+) plus sign after her level bar twice.
Sure enough, Draco's own experience points dropped by a chunk, and Siz's level rose to Lv47.
Following the laws of the universe, the conservation of energy—it was very logical.
With this function, increasing the strength of Nazarick's members would become incredibly easy.
Mare had the World Item, Greed and Desirelessness, which could absorb and store experience points.
It wasn't necessarily required to sacrifice Draco's own levels.
"It would be great if someone came to attack Nazarick right now; I'm a bit short on experience."
Draco sighed.
"I wonder when Demiurge will return. I'm starting to want to attack the Puppet Kingdom."
...In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.
During these days, whenever Draco's MP was full, he would go to name those demons he had summoned earlier.
Demons that were originally only C+ or B rank could reach A- or A rank after being named.
They grew from original low-ranking demons into High-ranking Demons.
Those suitable for combat were thrown to Cocytus for training.
The rest went to farm or mine; there was always a suitable job.
Draco had planned to continue naming people today, but he suddenly received a transmission from Shalltear.
(Master, the Ogre Tribe you asked me to watch has now broken through the territories of the Minotaur Tribe and the Centaur Tribe.)
(They are expected to arrive at the plains this afternoon.)
(Have they finally come? I understand. Continue to have people keep an eye on them.)
(Understood!)
(By the way, Master, I still have two magic cooldown scrolls in my hand.)
(Tonight... I will wait for you in the Death-Wax Chamber...)
