Will of chaos

I was a little shocked by Zila's request to want her people to be able to immigrate to my Dungeon, I was even more surprised that the others expected this and made a bet on it.

"Before listening to what the rest of you have to say, could you explain to me how you came up with this idea Miss Zila?" (I)

"If possible I prefer that they use only my name without honorifics." (Zila)

"I'll take that into consideration." (I)

"About our reasons, I was chosen as the leader of all my people, I'm not the strongest, but it seems that because I was the first to act to refuse to participate in a senseless war, I was considered to be the most reliable." (Zila)

"From what I've heard about how you lost your arm, that choice was a wise one for your people." (I)

"I was a Soldier, I always refused promotions in the hierarchy because I knew my true place, I was not born to lead anyone." (Zila)

"A true leader doesn't choose to lead, people simply choose to follow these remarkable individuals." (Ivan)

"Even when they are excessively against it." (Érica)

"Why is everyone looking at me!?" (I)

Sigh

"How many times should I ask them not to divert the subject?" (Freya)

"Sorry." (all)

"Forget about them, pick up where you left off, Zila." (I)

As usual, the people around me aren't even capable of carrying on a normal conversation at a serious time like this.

"When I was chosen as leader, I couldn't refuse, but as I said before, I know I'm not up to the task, so I chose people of ability among my people to discuss what to do next." (Zila)

"The first thing we did was talk to the servants of the island's owner about various things, we were even given permission to become permanent residents of this island, but we were all against it." (Zila)

"This place is not suitable for raising children or living peacefully." (I)

"We realized this with only a week on this island, but we also couldn't go back to where we left and going to another Kingdom of our people would be difficult, as far as I know, there is no other Kingdom for months of travel and there is always the possibility of not being accepted. " (Zila)

"Immigrants are never seen with good eyes regardless of the situation, this causes a lot of social problems, accepting hundreds of people at once would be asking to provide houses, food, and work for everyone in a place that probably won't have enough for everyone." (Ivan)

"It was the same thing I heard from others, there was even discussion about creating a village for us, but this idea was so silly that we ignored it" (Zila)

"Sounds like a good idea to me." (I)

"But it's not, the Oceans have a lot more monsters than on land, besides there are many Dungeons hidden in the Oceans, creating a village underwater would be very difficult." (Érica)

"There are no villages in the Ocean for that reason, besides the sea currents are heavily influenced by the weather on the surface or the powers of certain very powerful monsters." (Zila)

"We needed a place capable of receiving hundreds of people, there was also a need for this place to be able to receive our people who need to be close to water, we also needed a place that was safe from monsters and that had rules against decriminalization by race, we didn't want have the same problems that led to that ridiculous war." (Zila)

"But when did you come to think of my Dungeon?" (I)

I can't deny that my Dungeon meets all these requirements, decriminalization has always been something I've been against since before I had the Dungeon, and as a Dungeon Master, I can easily create a floor suited to the needs of the people of Zila.

"Miss Caryna, Mrs. Freya's daughter, is very fond of conversation and makes many visits to learn the recipes of my people, she has spoken a lot about you Zenos." (Zila)

"The term Dungeon Master was something we didn't know, but one of the servants of the owner of this island explained it to us when we asked." (Zila)

"I think I need to talk to my daughter..." (Freya)

"Did you trust the words of someone you've known for such a short time to make such an important decision based on that?" (Vanessa)

"No, as a soldier I learned to always have more than one source of information during an investigation." (Zila)

"We spoke to several people from the Dungeon, we also spoke to some of the Religions, so it was easy to confirm what Mrs. Caryna had reported." (Zila)

"The biggest proof of this is the number of different races that enter or leave this house every day, the number of people doesn't match the size of the place." (Zila)

I thought she was a muscular head, but it seems that when it comes to work she is very competent just like Diana.

"I'm sure there are some Religions that could help, maybe even get everyone to their proper place." (I)

"But that would come at a price, nobody does anything for free." (Zila)

"If that's true, then what kind of price do you think I'm going to ask?" (I)

"That if I'm going to accept you and your people?" (I)

"Manpower, our people are experts in creating magical accessories or jewelry, plus your nation is still growing because it's new, nations like that always welcome immigrants from other places." (Zila)

"Is she right, Ivan?" (I)

"Yes, a new nation lacks many things, in addition to still being structured, this makes immigrants from other places always useful, so there are always agreements with nearby places to accept new people." (Ivan)

What Ivan said makes sense, and I can also see the logic behind it, to be honest, I don't see any problems in accepting these people, there are already several inside the Dungeon that a few hundred more won't be a problem, I've even made a deal where a few dozen of people from other 3 religions being accepted into the Dungeon in the future.

But I don't want to accept anyone too quickly, I want to investigate them first, maybe ask Lilith to take a look at these people later.

I turn to my teammates after spending a few seconds thinking, they all nodded in agreement so I think it's more or less decided.

"Before giving a final answer to your request, please accompany my daughter Irina for a while, she will explain about Dungeon customs and our laws, maybe until then you don't want to continue with this anymore." (I)

"If you feel that way, then I would very much like to hear about this new information, thank you." (Zila)

"Follow me to another room, please." (Irina)

I wait for Irina to go out with Zila who has big scaled legs due to the Mermaids' ability to transform.

"Vanessa, I could go with Lilith to check on the refugees." (I)

"I've already done that, they're clean." (Vanessa)

"I've also spoken to almost everyone, they all have open minds about other races, that's why they fled the war." (Ivan)

"I think your decision is already made, right master?" (Freya)

"Yeah, now it depends if when they come back they'll still want to go on with it." (I)
