Dungeon of Niflheim Chapter 411

411 Chapter 411: Toast and eggs (2)

While Nanna dressed herself in her unicorn apron and prepared the necessary ingredients and cooking utensils Loki moved himself onto Frost’s lap so they could peruse the dungeon nu together.

“I just spoke with Findlay and Khuno and they told that the dungeon vault is full aning we need to make it bigger.”

“How do we do that?”

“Well every new floor grants an extra ten tons worth of storage, so I’ve decided to purchase four new floors bringing us to an even ten. What I need your help with is deciding which environnt to use for these floors. I want this new section of the dungeon to have the sa environnt on each floor thus mimicking the trends of a monster lair. Choosing which environnt however has stumped.”

“So you want to help you choose?”

“Yes Loki I’d like to hear your opinion.” Frost asked with a gentle smile as he brought around the dungeon nu.

“I’m only going to outfit the first of the new floors, but this choice will eventually encompass the others. I’ve narrowed the choices down the these three, tell which one you think would be best and why.”

· Winter forest 12,000DP

· Winter highlands 10,500DP

.....

· Glacial steppe 16,000DP

Loki looked at the three options with intense focus. He cupped his chin and tilted his head to the side as he thought deeply. The dungeon already had one star versions of each of these environnts, so Loki knew roughly what they’d look like and contain.

Each of them had their advantages and disadvantages but if he really had to choose.

“The glacial steppe environnt.” Loki gave his answer with a firm nod.

“Your reasoning?” Frost smiled with pride, he too felt that the Glacial steppe would be the best choice. He just wanted to test Loki and get a confirming second opinion.

“Although it’s the most expensive environnt I believe it’s also the most suitable since like the winter highlands it contains trees, cliffs, water and a diverse range of flora as well as looking quite beautiful. The monster lair that you visited before had this environnt so its well-known and proven suitable for the monsters we currently have access to.”

“Valid points but why not the winter highlands then. As you stated it too has diverse features and is far cheaper. Would it not be better to choose that one instead?” Frost smirked while picking apart Loki’s answer.

“The winter highlands is too basic; the flora will likely be a grade lower and less populated. Plus the frequent blizzards though good at obscuring the area may be seen as annoying. While watching the adventurers enter and exit the dungeon I’ve overheard many of them complain about how irritating the blizzard is. So much so that they hate passing through the first section. Having multiple floors with such an environnt may in fact put off intruders.” Loki answered back with the knowledge he’d gained from his ti watching over the dungeon.

“Hmmm I never thought of it like that, looks like you’ve spent a lot of ti watching the adventurers haven’t you.” Frost ruffled Loki’s hair.

“Hehe glad I could be of help master.”

With Loki’s input Frost was now ready to expand the dungeon. 60,000 for the four floors, 4500 for expansions and 48,000 for three glacial steppe environnts. A grand total of 112,500DP, about half of his current reserve.

“Is there anything you’d like to see placed in the dungeon; we’ve got a fair amount of DP left to play around with?”

“Hmmmm” Loki frowned, thinking deeply once again. This was the first ti he’d been asked what he wanted to add to the dungeon, it was a novel experience.

“Umm what about sothing that shoots cold flas, a new type of trap?” After a couple minutes of hard thinking Loki replied nervously. He didn’t know how effective such a trap would be but ever since he and his sister had seen the high earth rank cold fla they’d been fascinated with cold fire, their instincts overwhelming them whenever it was placed in front of them. Now Frost and the ronsos could harness such flas at will, the young phoenix kin wanted to see more of such flas. His stomach rumbled slightly as the images filled his mind, his eyes drifted towards Frost’s hands.

“...” Frost blinked and looked at Loki as if he was so kind of natural genius well until he heard the young boy’s stomach rumbling and felt his intense stare. His reasoning wasn’t practical it was just sothing he wanted to see, a very childlike response and one that Frost wanted to see.

However a cold fla trap may indeed be very effective, an inspired expression appeared on Frost’s face as he imagined the possibilities.

“Hahahaha you’re a genius Loki that’s a perfect idea, we’ll design a new trap together, one which uses cold flas hahahaha.” Frost hugged Loki against his chest with glee before quietly summoning a small tendril of cold flas out of sight from Nanna.

Loki in response smiled ear to ear and slurped up the fla without hesitation, such flas had beco a delicacy among the two siblings.

Frost confird the purchase of the new floors and environnts causing the dungeon to tremble for several seconds. There was now ten floors to Frost’s dungeon. It was quickly becoming quite a developed piece if real estate.

Findlay and Khuno both opened up the dungeon nu a few seconds after the trembling stopped to restart the storing process. An extra 40 tons should do them until the end of the stampede....hopefully.

Frost and Loki thus began bouncing ideas off one another as they worked to design so cold fla traps. Nanna joined in once she placed breakfast on the table, she wasn’t about to be left out of sothing so interesting.

Frost smiled with pride as he watched the two children discuss over the table and eat their breakfast, which wasn’t half bad. Nanna overcooked the eggs a little and the toast was bit uneven but all in all it was pretty tasty.

He left open the trap design feature so Nanna and Loki could interact with it while he left to deliver Maya’s portion.

Knock knock.

This ti he knocked on the bedroom door before entering, hoping that performing such a social gesture would ease Maya’s irritation.

“What the fu.....”

Don!

Frost quickly closed the bedroom door behind him activating the soundproofing and shielding Nanna and Loki from hearing Maya’s cursing.

“..ck is it now?” Maya was still very irritated; she’d managed to use a half baked healing spell but for so reason it failed to alleviate the majority of the pain and did nothing for her sensitivity. She rembered her mother telling her about sothing like this when she was younger but had forgotten it until now.

When Frost the one who caused her to feel like this walked in all her anger and frustration bubbled to surface. But the mont he closed the door activating the room’s sound proofing a chill ran down her spine and she felt afraid.

“No! No! No! you bastard! Back off! We’re not doing that again! My body will break if you stick that damn thing in again!” She trembled and tried her best to move away from Frost as he stepped closer.

“Pfft!” Frost couldn’t help but stifle his laughter, Maya was just so adorable and different from her usual confident and domineering self. Seeing her like this of course made him want to tease her like he did this morning but felt that doing so would be counterproductive in the long run. His ‘thing’ how Maya put it however wasn’t very cooperative, hardening at the sight of his lover’s sexy figure and scaring her out right.

“Relax I’m not here for that (yet). I know you must still be in pain so I won’t force anything, you can rest however long you need.” Frost waltzed over with the plate of toast and eggs and sat on the bed beside Maya smiling as gently as possible.

“...” Maya glared at him silently, wary of his intentions. In her current state she’d struggle to control her strength if she had to physically repel him.

“Haaaaaa am I really that scary?” Frost sighed and shook his head, pretending to be hurt by her glare.

“...” Maya’s gaze however only intensified, not moved by his fake pain. Her eyes drifted downwards staring right at the large tent pitched in Frost’s lap.

Who was he fooling, he could sound all gentle and look harmless, but that thing couldn’t lie.

Frost noticed the problem and let loose an embarrassing chuckle before doing his best to hide his instinctual reaction.

“I’m being serious I an you no harm. Look I even brought you breakfast, Nanna made it herself and it’s pretty good.” Frost highlighted the plate holding the fried eggs and toast.

Maya’s chilling glare softened at his words.

“Nanna made breakfast gim gim gim owowoowwo.” She instantly moved towards Frost and the plate in an attempt to snatch the food, but her sudden movents sent jolts of pain throughout her body.

“Geez are you a child? Here?” Frost shook his head at Maya’s actions before snuggling up close. He was going to feed her while she remained in bed.
