Guardian Spirits 2K

After having the rich breakfast, a group of men walked out to build simple wooden cabins at the already selected free space behind the ranch house. They sold out their previous properties and everyone is now homeless. At nights, they either sleep in small motels or sleep in their girlfriend house. They know that is not the solution. Chester proposed to build wood cabins behind the ranch house. They have land anyways. Now, there are several piles of bricks, rebars, sand bags, concrete bags and already processed lumbers in the storage building not far away from the ranch house. Moreover, that is only a part from what they bought due to limited storage space and more are still waiting in the storage units of local COSTCO retail store. For these materials, almost half of the guild money pool was spent. When it was started, there were like 3 millions dollar in money pool under the crowd donations. But now, there are only a little over one million dollar left. Chester thought about it and felt headaches. He opened the storage building door and shouted, "Brothers, as we planned, we are building cabins and take this as a part of our training. We have three hours before lunch break. So, don't scatter. Let's concentrate in one for better efficiency and build more cabins as possible as we can just like that."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Soon, the free space at the back of the ranch house is full of sweating men. There are men digging the soil of 4mx4m ground to lay the foundation for the cabin. There are men mixing concrete while other people are either moving bricks or moving lumbers. In just a dozen minutes, the first place was already laid foundation with bricks, rebars and concrete. Then, they pulled out PVC pipes in designed places and inserted square wooden poles in these places. After the square wooden poles were inserted, a guy filled the gap with concrete while another one was holding the pole tightly in place. Then, they directly connected the poles with several lumbers and let them support each other. After doing these, they proceeded to the next one similarly as it would take time for concrete to dry for the previous one. Soon, they have made dozens of them in an hour period. The work efficiency is very high as much as they sweated a lot. Finally, everyone felt like they had no more strength and decided to stop and rest. Even tough guy like Chester was no exception. So, everyone simply sat down on the ground and rested. Several women watching at them brought water and energy bars. It made everyone happy. Some guys even felt that their new girlfriends were very pleasing. Other people also started to have more or less ideas about finding new girlfriends. Even some guys, who had thought of keeping only painful memories and revenge in their mind, started to feel that finding new love who could support them would not be a bad thing.

After resting for a while, the crowd started working again for another hour before taking another break. When they stopped at 12 o'clock for lunch, framework and foundation for thirty 6mx6m cabins were done perfectly. However, the building materials are almost exhausted. After Chester gave a call to COSTCO, they promised to drop another batch of building materials in the evening. So, Chester could only inform this to the gang of brothers and the training plan was put back into training with weights again. There is swordsmanship training in the plan but they have to postpone it until they received the swords from local iron refinery. Moreover, it is going to take sometimes since they asked epee type knight swords. These swords will only be used as training swords for weapon familiarity before they buy good knight swords from old Nsak in local Origin Church. Chester and Peter are going to be sponsors for them. Luckily, there is a special existence in San Christobal Origin Church, the one favored by Luck, Lilac Astralia Ravenclaw. The hidden daughter of a certain stallion god who even uses magical power to make children with flower elf. Lilac is a playful girl who treasure her friends so Cathy and Jenny will never be in lack of gold coins. It really is expensive to produce a certain result. If Cathy didn't voucher them as recommender, they might not even get into underground market in advance and they can only buy some products from Church. Fate is just magical.

When Peter came back, it is already 4 PM. He is still driving the white ford. On the back passenger seats, several backpacks are placed and a young chinese man is sitting on the front passenger seat. There are two pickups full of things and two vans behind the ford. Two pickups are driven by Ronald and Allen while the vans are driven by two couples. Peter decided to buy these two pickups and bought back another batch of foods and some things they would need. He made simple recruitment in camping area by letting them cook and screened out the capable ones from the crowd. It took time but the result also satisfied him. The two middle age couples lost their homes in an unfortunate forest fire and became wandering campers. They used to be good neighbors and have been wandering around together with their vans. After Peter fell in love with their cooking and offered for a stable job, they chose to accept it gladly. The young chinese man is immigrant from united soviet states. He is a runaway guy who grew up in a small orphanage. After he grew up, he decided to flee to another side of the world as he accidentally offended a second generation of official. It wasn't an easy journey and it also made him more mature than his peers. He is just nineteen and he can cook delicious soups. That's also why Peter chose to take him in. Moreover, Peter also has a plan to train this young man which he couldn't do to the two middle age couples due to their age. It is not completely impossible for him to make this young chinese man a member of their guild depending on his performance.

When they drove into the ranch, many men are already at car parking place and preparing to leave. Seeing Kevin and Rock in front of a pickup, Peter slowly stopped the car. He honked and greeted them, "Already going back?"

Kevin headed out of the window and said, "You're too late. Everyone has finished training and going back. How about it? Did things went well?"

The other guys also noticed Peter and stopped to greet and joke with him. Peter waved Ronald behind him and yelled, "Ronald, take them to ranch house first."

Ronald returned a honk and drove by his side. Allen and the two vans behind also followed the pickup of Ronald. The ranch they bought is a big one of slightly over 630 acres connecting with the forest in one side. They were able to buy it from local Amish community after informing their identity and making some vows. The ranch house is just in that side. Half of the lands was used as pasture for cows and the other half was used to farm seasonal crops. The car parking place is just randomly selected on the side of dirt road near the entrance of the ranch. The good thing is nearby ranches are run by a local Amish people. They are a bunch of lovable people. However, Amish people living here are a special community believe in Origin Mother Tera. Many of them are vegans but they don't make a fuse over the other guys eating meat because they treat each other respectfully. Moreover, everyone here is more or less related. They still kill livestock for meat. But they have a special tradition which they would pray for the selected cow or sheep and killing it in one hit so it would not suffer too much pains. For some reasons, their unique prayers would smooth out the anxious livestock and the butchers would choose that exact moment to end its animal life. They believe that it would free unfortunate souls reincarnated into animals for their sins. Of course, killing another life is also a sin so they would not do meaningless killings like slaughtering all animals they see to free trapped sinful souls. Because it would made them the slaughterer full of sins.

In fact, large amount of meat for them come from nearby Amish farms and butchering job is taken by an old Amish man named Alimosh. In fact, nobody was willingly to take over the butchering job at first because they would have to kill a lot and for money. However, Alimosh had another idea. He wanted to free pitiful souls trapped in animals and donating the money he earn to those in need. He is also the one who sold his ranch to Peter after a long discussion.
