Dungeon Defense (WN)

The temple was on the cliff.

A dark blue wave crashes into the cliff, shattering the mountain. The white marble pillars are listed above, untouchable by the waves, no matter how far they extend their arms. The columns were badly destroyed.

The roof has fallen in half. There was also a column cut from the waist. The wind carried the smell of the sea and the extra space they had lost because they could not bear the time. That way, the temple exposes half of its body to sunlight, leaving the other half in the blue shade.

The same was true of the people gathered here. They are immersed in sunlight and shade, gazing at the empty floor in the center of the temple. Waiting for someone's voice to fill an empty center.

“Finally, the time has come. ”

In response to people's expectations, the Demon King Pymon opened his lips. The sunshine of the sea and the shade of the sea envelop this woman.

“The heathen nations of the human race have been divided. The Demon Lord's army is quartile. So far, ghosts roaming the plains, mountains and valleys have died. For the glory of mankind. For the Abundance of the Devil. Such false justifications are finally vomiting their last breath. ”

You hear a small wave between the words flowing from Pymon. Even now, the rough waves are constantly pounding the cliffs.

“Now. The thousand is given to us. ”

However, Pymon's voice had the power to make the waves sound like peaceful variations.

“The thousand men command us to bring a terrible end to a false cause. The thousand commanded us to destroy all the crowns and all the thrones in the world. The thousand.”

Every time Pymon adds a single word, it seems like the temple goes back in time and returns to its once glorious form.

“I am ordering those who suffer just because they were born as civilians to release the chains. Don't just accept the world's unreasonability and absurdity for the reason that it's natural, but just for the reason that it shouldn't be. Comrades, the rest is because we don't need it. ”

People nod silently.

“There are countless reasons why justice should not exist. It's so hard. It's impossible. We can bring justice down endlessly, with thousands of reasons and tens of thousands of excuses. On the other hand, there must be only one reason why justice exists. ”

Pymon raises his glass forward.

“Because it's right! ”

Dozens of people followed behind the glass.

“People are sometimes disgusted. Crowds are sometimes evil. So, we don't act for people, we don't act for the crowd. Likewise, we don't act just because we hate nobles. There's only one reason we act. ”

“Because it's right! ”

Someone shouts, and the crowd opens their mouths in a row.

““ just because it's right! ” ”

Pymon nods. She brings the glass to her lips as if it were nothing more to say. The wine flows through her lips through a clear glass. A stalk of wine spills across Pymon's white jawline.

Pymon throws the glass to the floor.

“To the revolution! ”

Soon, dozens of glasses were thrown on the marble floor. Glasses shattered into hundreds of splinters. The smell of the sea, the smell of life rotting, made me rich by embracing the glass fragments for a moment.

The dungeon was built on the advice of Lapis.

Like she said, get a bunch of architects to come up with a budget. Oh, my God. The cost of the first 20 million gold was surprisingly reduced to 14 million gold. It was as small as 6 million gold.

The dwarf who initially called 20 million gold, the representative of the Red Marble Architecture, was frustrated and could not face me. Of course, I wasn't the one who wouldn't say a word.

“Hey, Warden. I've been through a lot in my life, but I've never made six million gold in three days. This is all thanks to the warden. ”

“…… cows and shrines can make your home for a total of 13 million gold! ”

The dwarf replied, sweating. I smiled gladly.

“What. People should be selfish, Bondi. In that sense, you're a very good man, Warden Dwarf. You have a great personality.There aren't many people in the world who appreciate your personality, so you can be proud of it. ”

“Sat, Sat, please give me a nudge. ”

“There's got to be something more to it. I understand you. Hahaha. ”

I put my hand on his shoulder. The dwarf was now sweating from his forehead to his hot beard.

All day long, there was a debate. It was like building a ten-story dungeon. What will design do? How will the passageway be placed?

Above all, they accepted my demands fresh. Build a dungeon like a maze. And build a Horse Village beyond the thick walls of the maze. For Goblins and Dwarves who have been in the construction industry for thousands of years, this was a new attempt.

The discussion continued, and I naturally disagreed. Goblin and Dwarf Faroes.

A Goblin rubs a bubble in his mouth.

“Ker-dub! Stupid little girls! Why don't you understand this? If we don't raise the level of the central corridor, the tall ones will get in the way of the movement! ”

“Huh, I'm afraid it's not a green mole, but I don't know the other one. ”

The dwarf snorts. The whitebeard trembles at how windy the nostrils are.

“Building high ceilings weakens the strength. It won't last a millennium. The Demon Castle will collapse. ”

“That's because your office is lousy. Glug, if we can get Oricalcos to back the layers up, that's it. ”

“Huh, looks like a clan filled with tomato juice. Oricalcos to support the people? I can't imagine what the budget would be like. Not 20 million gold but 30 million gold is not enough. ”

“You don't have to refine anyway. Glug, all the Rough Stones you need! You always lack imagination. This is Horse Castle. It's full of magic! The robbery itself is different from other places. ”

I endured yawning and watched the fierce struggle between the two factions.

I have no idea what Oricalcos is, but it must be very important and sensitive for an architect. There is no problem that is more important to the general public than it is to the professional.

“Lapis, what's with all the bloodshed? ”

I asked quietly. Laffith stood beside me. She was my assistant and chief executive officer on the project.

Laffith also replied with a small voice.

“Goblins and dwarves always take each other for granted. It's because there's a lot of overlap between the two factions in the Mahjong area. just like Circus and Nimp hate each other. ”

“Hm? What was Nimp mainly in charge of in the Horse Market? ”

“Of course it's a brothel. ”

Aha, I see. It was a fun job.I can't believe how different jobs are from species to species. Lapis explained that he felt something interesting to me.

“Prostitutes have grades too. Different hells have slightly different criteria, but they are roughly divided into grades 3, 2, and 1. Grades 3 provide only physical satisfaction to the customer. Whereas first-rate prostitutes follow their clients to social functions such as ball parties. It's called a banquet flower. ”

“Heh.”

“The Circubus are mainly second-grade prostitutes. Most first-class prostitutes come from the Nimps. So despite being the same prostitute, they insult and despise each other. ”

There was contempt and envy everywhere.

I felt cynical and blurted out.

“Fool.”

“Yes, it's extremely irrational. ”

“Hmm. There must be a kind of people who can defend their identity if they despise others. ”

We both turned our eyes to where the debate was going on. Goblins and Dwarves have been chatting almost as if they were about to be strangled. There will be something other than your pride as an artisan.

I glanced at Lapis and laughed.

“That's why you brought Goblins and Dwarves, Lapis. ”

“Yes?”

“When pride is useless, people become irrational. If we unite and raise the price, I will have no choice but to spend 20 million gold. If only the Goblins called or Dwarves, it would have flowed the same way. ”

However, Lapis deliberately brought in two hostile factions. We Goblins can build better than them! We Dwarves can build more efficiently than they can! …… each office has reached a point of compete not only for profit, but also for pride.

I smiled satisfactorily.

“Should I say race pride? However, when the pride of the group gets in the way, people are willing to take the loss and win. Excellent move, Laffith. I'll pay you an additional salary later. ”

“…… It's amazing. ”

The blue eyes of Laffith's jewel stare at me.

“Huh?"

“Dantalian is completely ignorant of commerce. He's not very good at military either, I know. But commerce, military, if you put it in there, it creates insight as if you were someone else. ”

I don't know, but I felt like praising me.

“As expected, Dantalian needs practice. When talented experts gather under Dantalian's command, they will play the terrifying opera under Dantalian's command. ”

“Ah. I'm going to go outside after I finish this job. ”

Dungeon construction doesn't end in a day or two. We need to get started. After that, I will shoot across the continent to find talent. I want to recruit roughly four people. If it works.

Well, I just got asked by Pymon. It's a concussion.

The discussion that exploded between the Goblin and Dwarf was only concluded over the course of six hours.

There was a dog fight between the factions, but they were too lazy to dry, so they exchanged wine with Laffith and watched the fight interesting. I bet the Goblins win by 5 gold and Laffith by 5 gold for the Dwarves to win. By the way, the Dwarf has won. It was a moment when Laffith made a commitment never to make a payment.

“Your Majesty, we will show you your home for 17 million gold. ”

“I will build a Prince Charming for 12 million gold, better than anywhere else in the world. ”

The budget was divided into two major axes.

Number one, even if you spend a lot of money, you build a wide hallway. The majority of Goblins supported the first budget. Large monsters are easy to move around, but the ceiling needs to be high to improve the living environment inside the dungeon.

Number two, save as much money as you can. The Dwarves supported the second budget. Make only the basement where the big monsters will live and the rest of the ceiling low.

Two offers at hand.

“His castle is built on the 10th floor. I will leave the work to different offices on each floor. ”

I embraced both factions.

This is also in accordance with Laffith's advice. If you drive work to one company, the competition disappears. The architecture gathered here is only the top of the horse system after all. There is no risk of poor design. The question was how hard and hard they worked.

Leave Lapis in charge. Purchase of construction materials and mobilization of construction personnel will be brokered at the Kunkuska Chamber of Commerce. Lapis - and behind her stands legendary merchant Ivar Lothbrok - who will find it difficult to do anything other than oversee.

“Tongue, wise judgment. ”

Goblins and Dwarves look like shit, but they obey. I was unable to hit the ground in the middle, but it was also a reasonable result for them. Dungeon architecture itself was a huge business that promised great benefits.

This is the cornerstone of the dungeon construction. I temporarily left the territorial affairs to Parsi and to Lapis and Laura.

The target is the Frank Empire. Pymon's Liberation Alliance was waiting for me.

― At the same time, it was a country where the warriors who were the protagonists of Dungeon Attack lived.
