Dungeon Defense (WN)

I needed some time to calm down.

I sat on an upright rock nearby to correct myself. I already showed Laffith everything I couldn't see, so I didn't have to bluff, but I wanted to be serious today. There was something important.

Lapis listened to me and frowned slightly. If I didn't have the ability to convey their emotions to them, I would not notice them so little.

“You're willing to lend money? ”

“Yes."

In the Kunkuska Parliament, he was in banking. The Demon King needed to be fed. In that case, the council lent me money.

I've been digging through ore all night and realized one thing. I'm sure I'll scream at the axe of an adventurer someday!

Two gold coins a day. Only 200 gold is earned for those who work without a day's rest.

Not even Goblins can buy the lowest golem for 200 gold. You can barely hire more Goblins if you swing a pickaxe like that. You can barely defend a dungeon with two Golems and Goblins for that long?

‘Impossible.'

Adventurers aim for the Hospitam Dungeon. The group of the Leaf, who have become my enemies, is making me nervous.

It's not uncommon for the Adventure Troops to come at any time. I can't wait around for my money to pile up with a pickaxe.

I thought it would be better to borrow big money and repay interest gradually. In fact, I was willing to pay back my principal at once, not just interest.

But Lapis quietly said no.

“Dantalian, many Demon Kings have borrowed money from our council. There are few Demon Kings who only pay interest. because interest is accumulating rapidly every month, whereas the dungeon revenues are irregular. ”

Laffith shakes his head. Her pink hair wiggles around.

“The greatest source of profit for a dungeon is an adventurer who paradoxically invades the dungeon. The stronger the adventurer, the more profitable the dungeon is. Strong adventurers inevitably have good armor and expensive items, and the Demon King can pillage them. On the contrary, a dungeon that only comes with low adventurers will not see much profit. ”

“ ……. ”

“Above all, I doubt they'll lend much money to the council. The Kunkuska Chamber of Commerce is a place of great interest. It's a cold-blooded group of horses who stick their tongues out. ”

Laffith emphasized again.

“No matter how much the Demon King asks for a loan, I absolutely refuse if there is no guarantee that I can make money. Excuse me, Dantalian, but the Demon King's temper is a matter of credit. I wonder how much I can trust Dantalian, who is class F, in the Kunkusa Parliament. ”

“Of course.”

“The Senate employs a large number of escort units and has the potential to hire more at any time. The Crown is merciless to the Demon King who does not pay interest on loans. In fact, there's been threats and coercion. ”

Her voice lowers.

“The 25th Demon King Glashallavolas borrowed 100,000 gold and failed to pay interest for 70 years, and the council of Kunkuska invaded the dungeon of President Glashallavolas with 36 horsemen. The Demon King's army was defeated and eventually President Glacial Ballas was forced to pay all the interest that had been lost for 70 years. As a result, his dungeon went bankrupt. ”

Laffith sighs a little.

“This is the power of the Kunkusa Chamber. That's why I've been able to stand on the top table for the last three thousand years. Now, Dantalian, I am advising you as a horse, not as an employee of the Chamber. Do not borrow money from the Chamber immediately. ”

The other person's heart was conveyed.

This girl was really ignorant of my offer. She was not cruel. In fact, tricking me into getting a loan will help her own business performance.

Even though it would be in the interests of the council to lend me a penny to catch the Demon King tightly, Lapis ignored his grades and the interests of his organization just because he didn't want to scam me.

She said again and again.

“Be patient. It's hard right now, but I believe Dantalian will make a great dungeon if we save money for 100 and 200 years. ”

Lapis Lajuli: A horse with a cool look, a tone and a clever attitude

But unlike her appearance, she was innocent. It was shining quietly with pure faith.

As such, I pushed my opinion even more.

“What if I have a business proposition that will definitely succeed? ”

“ ……. ”

The girl glanced at me.

“Of course, we won't be sparing any investment in our own business. If only Dantalian had a clear business idea. ”

It can't be, "she said.

I smiled faintly.

“Plague.”

“ ……? ”

Lapis frowns.

“What do you mean? ”

Okay, I got your attention.

The battle has begun. I whispered in my heart.

‘Activate your smoke skills. ’

I thought of a notification window in front of my eyes.

"Smoke skill is triggered.

"Bonus effects are added to skills based on their intellect and attractiveness.

Lucky dice slip from your hands! Reduces the chance of the opponent being 'slightly’ suspicious of your claim.

An acting skill obtained as a tutorial reward. It's a technique that literally enhances your performance.

Chance to ‘lessen, somewhat, a lot, or a large amount’ your opponent's suspicion. Now my intellect and politics are worse than my tails, so at best I have slight doubts.

What kind of skills fell as a reward seemed to depend on how you acted in the tutorial.

If the tutorial was broken through powerlessly, you would have acquired skills such as faceless ambush or occlusion if you devised a crafty plan.

Natural movement, for example, is a skill that increases a character's power by 140% for quite a long time. It is also a skill owned by my warrior character in the original dungeon attack game.

It also increases the Attack and Defense of all party members by 25%, as well as makes the whole party part of your character an ambush. Either way, it is considered a fraudulent skill.

Shit, on the contrary, acting skills are rubbish.

First of all, it's not directly related to combat. The most important thing in Dungeon Attack is combat. In this regard, the skill of acting already receives a setback. Moreover, you can't deceive your opponent completely! Rather than ‘somewhat’, ‘a lot’, a very subjective and relative standard will be presented.

Why your skills are important in the first place. It says that it always has a reliable effect. It always brings out the expected effect, and it makes me plan to say, 'Oh, this is how it will be when I use this skill.'

A skill that you don't know how long it takes to work?

It's not funny. It was better to raise your stats a little.

I once questioned a Dungeon Attack fan site about acting and some skills. I didn't know why it even existed. It doesn't degrade the enemy's intelligence, but it doesn't involve political or diplomatic play on dungeon tacks…….

At first, he commented on whether or not he put the number of skills in nominal to match 255.

Honestly, I don't know exactly what the effects of acting skills are. I forgot that this skill was also in the game. Even I, the lung of Dungeon Attack, am an unfamiliar piece of garbage. That was the act.

‘Well, as helpful as an ant's claw. ’

I just used it because I have skills there. There was no more meaning than that.

I went on to persuade Laffith.

“Within two months, there was an epidemic in the human world. ”

Laffith shuts up for a long time, making sure he doesn't understand. Her confused feelings are conveyed.

“…… an epidemic? ”

“The Black Death epidemic. 1505 Imperial power, which means that there will be an unprecedented casualty on the continent starting this summer. ”

It was not a lie. It was the setting of the dungeon attack worldview.

The year the character begins to play as a warrior, i.e. the year the gamer begins to play, 1515 years of Empire power. Only ten years before that, the plague wipes out the entire continent.

The epidemic that began in the northern continent quickly spread across the continent. In just a few years, 20% of the continental population of humans, elves and Demihumans are soldiers.

I think it's just a spill... It goes all the way to the Great Plague. The famine lasts for as long as ten years. All the people on the farm got sick and even the bottled groundwater was infected, so the farming can't go well. Races on the continent mourn.

And turn it all over to the Demon King.

The Demon King summoned the plague and spread the famine.

Of course, it was not the truth, but the people of this medieval world view firmly believe it. It is also suspicious that the Horses were relatively few harmed by the plague. The Horse was born in a harsh horsepower, giving rise to a strong immune system. Unfortunately, it is a disease spread by the Demons, leading to the logic that it is harmless to the Demons.

Humans insist that in order to save the continent from destruction, we must drive out all the Demon Kings from the earth.

Engage the dungeon! ’

Valyaro Adventure Era. As long as you know how to cook, there will be a time when both you and I will be in a dungeon.

This is the setting of the dungeon attack. In particular, the protagonist hates the Demon King more than anyone else because he lost his parents to the plunder of the Demon King in his youth. This hatred is also gradually diluted as the scenario progresses and realizes the truth... Well, that has nothing to do with now. The theme of the game is the underworld, so I created a bone marrow fan.

This is what matters. There are special medicines to treat plague in this world.

A herb called a black herb. It's a plant that is a little more rare than the Ethics in my modern life. In short, it's not very rare.

However, the Black Herb was known to be a special medicine at the beginning of the epidemic, so people gathered too much Black Herb randomly. Seeds are incredibly precious in the wind.

At the national level, the Black Herb is being managed and cultivated later, but the situation is already peeing on its feet. The amount harvested is overwhelmingly deficient compared to infectious disease patients. After only a century, race on the continent is as inspiring as half.

‘It's the greatest tragedy in history created by overlapping misunderstandings, ignorance and haste. ’

I would say cruel…… but I was cheerful to know that my time was 1505 years on the continent. I was so happy that I ran around with one good leg.

because you can use the settings.

‘Immediately, an unprecedented pandemic swept the continent. Black Herb is a great medicine for infectious diseases. This is information only I know! ’

Who could have imagined?

The black herb from the mountain behind, this humble plant that is useless for ordinary diseases and can't be used as food because it is tough, and cannot be used as spices, is the only special medicine that is useless against the worst epidemic of all time.

The Black Herb was an unnamed weed before the plague broke out. Since it is effective against plague, it will later be called the Black Herb. The effects of the black herb are also found several years after the plague spread across the continent.

What does this mean?

‘If you surround the Black Herb now, you will gain an unimaginable advantage. ’

It must be cruel. If the black herb I'm about to mine is what it used to be, I'll save someone.

But even though I thought, spoke and acted like a real person, I was more precious to myself than the characters in the game, and golems and Goblins were precious to me. I was not good enough to lose my chance to eliminate the dungeon for someone I don't know the name of.

“I know a great cure for the plague. Exclusivity in advance will create enormous profits. ”

We both exchanged questions and answers for a while.

How are you sure the epidemic will spread? How did you find out the identity of the elixir? I lied because I put on the right weight for what I know.

Here you go, Lazuli. How are you going to get out?

“ ……. ”

The girl's blue eyes confronted me. Soon, her light lips opened.

“I'm sorry, no. ”

Lapis had no hesitation in his eyes. It was a resolute objection.
