Dungeon Defense (WN)

“Huff, huff. I have urgent business to attend to. I'm afraid I'll see you later, young man. ”

At the end of the speech, the Nomads quickly went to the alarm. Blaming Lizardman out loud. I couldn't understand it well, but instead I missed the opportunity to beat Hogu Betting made the main point. The Nomads soon disappeared into the crowd.

On the wide road, hundreds of monsters head for the city. There was a big, small commotion going on everywhere.

“Son of a bitch! Don't hit me on the shoulder! ”

“I shouldn't be picking on you. Frogman's intestines smell like pigs and he wants to see if it's real. ”

“Ahh? You fox whore, I'll throw you in the trash and I'll slice you up. ”

“The plague is glowing with leprosy. You stupid, pig-smelling amphibian, can I turn your head into an open café? I don't know if that stupid head of yours is going to be much use once you breathe it in. ”

“Looks like the whore got her head bashed in vodka. You want me to put a knife in your blurry face? Ang?”

The fox-shaped monsters and frog-shaped monsters grunt, face to face. Other monsters do not resonate as if they were overlooking everyday scenery. Just a small wager between those who appeared to be friends of the party who would win between the fox and the frog.

Okay. Okay.

I can see what a horseradish looks like.

Just like Libertalia in the Great Seas, Anglotown in Burma, El Rey, Johannesburg and the world's infamous cities, it was also a place where outlaws could make laws and become rulers of outlaws.

In broad daylight, fraud and fights are common. It is not hard to predict how cruel and cunning they will become when day comes and night comes. I will go around breathing oxygen in a fierce individualism and disgusting faction struggle.

‘Ha. The Goblin Advisor really taught me a good lesson. ’

I felt like I was going to take a breath and come to the resort for a long time. The more lawless a city is, the more luxurious and entertaining it is, the more it is known through various media. Lapis will sincerely help me relax. But until I meet Lapis, I can't slow down my tension until I'm under the protection of someone I can trust.

You fixed the hat. The hat was used to hide the Demon King's horn. I changed my mind and walked to the checkpoint.

“My eyes are better. ”

Checkpoint staff said as they were getting tolls. She was a raccoon-like Lathman.

“You used to be a no-good hustler, and now you're like an experienced hustler. Oh, for the record, I don't know if you know this, but the smartest scoundrel in Nibbleheim outranks the middle class horses. ”

And she gave me a piece of paper with her address on it.

“An inn run by my organization. This is no place for a tidebringer to touch. The inn costs twice as much as a normal inn, but since you're awake at least, your innards won't go away. ”

“Thank you. ”

Latterman winks.

As you get out of the checkpoint, the city stands on a horizon far away. It was a huge port city. Ships roamed the seas restlessly, with dozens of boulevards on the ground leading to the city. The place where I stood was just one of the streets. Thousands of monsters are still moving in circles along each path.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I tore apart the paper Rathman gave me. Her feelings were conveyed during the conversation. It was greed.

Perhaps she will serve as a guide and introduce people like me as a side business to the inn where she and Mack touched. In return for a certain commission. What guarantee do you have that a certain commission is not for the sale of a guest's kidney? As a foreigner, killing someone is the best way to be buried.

I walked along the northern road that Lapis was supposed to pick me up from.

A moment later, I encountered a figure who was dispatched from the Kunkusa Parliament. From the looks of it, he introduced himself as a vampire. At the entrance of the city, I could easily find it because I was holding a sign that said "Dantalian."

“Nice to meet you, Your Majesty. This is Buffet, a third-rate Samuma who will guide you to your residence at the Chamber of Commerce. First of all, I promise you that there will be no personal threat against you in Nibbleheim. ”

Appropriate grip strength was transferred from a shaking hand to deliver friendliness. I shook his hand gladly because his feelings were actually familiar. Is it because you're a vampire? Your palms are cold as ice. But it didn't matter.

“is the Dantalian in sequence 71. ”

Up until now, I hid my identity in case of a disturbance, but the Demon King decided to use half the words as Laffith advised the bridegroom that the Demon King should have minimal dignity. There's no reason to hide being the Demon King from the current opponent.

But there's no need to put the Demon King in charge.

“I've never seen Nibbleheim before, so there's a lot I don't know. You must be an expert on this city. I'm asking you nicely. ”

“Of course.”

The young man's eyes widened a bit and a smile was drawn on his mouth. The hologram told me that the appeal rose by 1. Unlike what I thought, the Demon King seemed to like me because I came out humbly.

“Dantalian was the first of the Demon Kings to arrive in Valpurgis' night. There's still about a week left for the event. Please let me know if you feel uncomfortable or if you need anything in the meantime. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to His Majesty Dantalian at the Kunkusa Parliament. ”

“Thank you. But where is Laffith Lazuli? ”

“I'm staying near the home Dantalian will be staying at. It's natural that Lazuli, the secretary, should take care of you... ”

Buff gives a playful smile.

“Difficult things follow when women guide men. Nibbleheim is one of the best cities on the market and one of the best resorts. Just like in the resort, Nibbleheim does not have a small area of the golden girl. ”

I was somewhat embarrassed by direct communication, but did not feel comfortable.

“I'm excited.”

“You mean this. Why don't you stop by your place first? If you don't mind, we'll take you to a nice restaurant. Then the wagon... ”

The young Vampire Boov was about to guide me. I shook my head.

“No. I'm not getting in the wagon. ”

“Yes?”

“And I didn't even bring what I thought was a dress. I don't need to go to my listing first. ”

I took a peek around. It was a simple market located at the city entrance. Violent but energetic monsters, such as monsters trying to buy groceries, and monsters snorting with friends during the day.

“I'd like to take a look around the city. Barefoot.”

“I understand. I'll get you to the amusement park right away. ”

“No.”

I shook my head again.

“I want to see how monsters live here. There's a lot of emotion conveying to you right now. Joy, excitement, boredom, tiredness, disgust, countless emotions. They also feel like they are one life. I want to see how they actually live and what life here is like. ”

That's what I originally had in mind about travel.

It's also good to see the sights around sunsets and ruins. There is also great meaning and joy. Above all, however, it is first for the body to understand how people live there. One of the ruins that I think is great and beautiful can be a boring and disgusting place for people there. Boring places for me can be sacred places for people there. Even if you look around a place, it's not just about enjoying the appearance, it's about enjoying the psychology of the person mixed in there.

‘More than anything, I wonder how the monsters are making up the city. ’

Most of the monsters here appear to be highly intelligent. I wondered what they would talk about at the tavern, how they would date and what the living room would look like.

“…… Your Majesty's intentions are presumed. I need to change my schedule today. ”

He said that Buff was a little surprised.

“I will travel to two and four districts. These are all the oldest neighborhoods in Nibbleheim. Nibbleheim's local sensibilities thrive on indigenous peoples. However, there is only a traditional restaurant nearby. It may be a bit rough on your taste. ”

“I am a body that doesn't need nutrition anyway. ”

Yes, since I became the Demon King, I don't need to eat. In the original dungeon attack setting, the Demon King is both a living being and a Spirit. Constructs and maintains the body with the magical power of the earth.

“For the first time in my life, I'm excited to taste the food here. Here, lead the way. ”

“ ……. ”

Buff looked at me with strange eyes. Then strange emotions were conveyed.

What is this? ’

Likes, misses, and a little anger? It was an emotion that the other person did not feel for me in this situation. I made a slight impression

“What's going on? ”

“I beg your pardon, Your Grace. It was because I thought it was different from the usual Demon King. ”

Buff bows. Well, according to what I've heard, maybe the Demon Kings were spontaneous and authoritarian. So Lapis was surprised at me. I don't care what the other Demon Kings do.

‘I liked you because you were different from the rest of the Demon King. ’

Anger is about the other Demon Kings. I could easily identify my emotions. I smiled and asked him for guidance. The Boov's love for me began to convey like when I felt strange emotions. He smiles and walks side-by-side with me.

What do you miss? ’

I suddenly wondered. But I didn't take it very seriously. Depending on how people lived their lives because their minds were profound, they could feel different emotions.

“By the way, Your Majesty, it is a great excuse to call the citizens of this land monsters. Citizens refer to a tribe that lives instinctively outside the civilization as a monster. Whereas they refer to themselves as the Horsemen or the Maine. ”

“The Horsemen? Then there is no racial distinction between monsters and the Horsemen? ”

“Yes, in fact, the criterion for distinguishing monsters from horses is extremely subjective……. ”

I took a tour of Nibbleheim with detailed and witty guidance from Buff.

The road is getting narrower. It was evidence that it was getting away from the street.

“Nibbleheim is a relatively recent city. Not long ago, Nibbleheim was just a small fishing village. It's only 300 years since the decaying harbour became a city of evil. ”

By the way, I started to see houses. It was mostly two-story houses made of stone. The appearance of monsters on the rooftop walking freely through the laundry, or the Mages, shocked me freshly. It was just like the Korean lady.

“This rough and lawless city could not have been conquered by the fearsome nobles of the Mahjong Dynasty…… because the hordes gathered here for the last three hundred years have come together in thought and will. For mutual benefit, we have worked together to ensure that our professional 'jobs' are achieved safely. ”

Buff explained that Nibbleheim is a kind of urban republic. There were five great councils, and they killed the city's leader. The Kunkusa Parliament was also one of the top five.

“Of course, we also oppose and confront incidents. There's very little major conflict between organizations. But we are as united as we are about external threats. The city of gambling, fraud and violence that's done that is right here in Nibbleheim. ”

Buff smiles.

“We have managed to achieve 300 years of prosperity because we have overcome internal conflicts and collaborated with each other. ”
