Chapter XIV
“I’ll build a fortress! A citadel! And it will be so woven in with enchantments and traps and fortifications that nobody will be able to penetrate it!”
But how? Well Gregory had his powers in hand, and it wouldn’t be too hard to get a workforce would it? Gregory teleported to Falador, and walked east to the estate agent.
“Excuse me sir, but can I hire some men to help me build a home for myself?”
“Well, I can offer you a house in a portal. You can buy one at Rimmington for only 1000 coins!”
“No. I am building myself a personal home. I will supervise the building myself, but I need workers. Can you provide some?”
“Well, I can, but it will be much, much more expensive and you will have to get the approval of the workers as to its location.”
“That won’t be a problem.”
“How many do you need?”
“Well, 200 should be enough.”
“Two hundred!? Are you out of your mind? That will cost millions!”
“I can afford it. Don’t worry about the cost. Just worry about getting the men, and make sure they are able.”
“Very well.” Later, when the men had been assembled, Gregory told them all,
“Ok guys, this is a very confidential construction, and I’m afraid I’ll have to erase your memories of what happened every day. You will have no recollection, and will simply see yourself leaving, and then coming back.” The men grumbled, and the more suspicious of them looked worriedly at him.
“However, your wages will be substantial. I will pay 2k per man, per day.” At this, they all gazed with amazement at these incredible wages, and Gregory grinned inwardly. And he knew, that eventually he would have a fortress that would beat all others, one that had absolutely incredible defenses.
