Dungeon Defense (WN)

A time of peace has come.

To be precise, only my forces were at peace. In the continent, civil wars were still going on everywhere. Frank, Brittany, Habsburg, Polytunia……. There's hardly ever a safe place on the phone.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled. ‘There is an ideal scent somewhere under the Black Mountains.’ People's lives were ruined enough to walk on rumors of such identity. Fortunately, my territory was rich enough to accept refugees.

“This land is ruled by the Demon King. Is that okay?”

“I heard there are less taxes. I heard there are no conscripts. ”

The chief who led the refugees to the village at all, he said, in the guilt of plotting.

“He even stops the witches. ”

“It's the truth."

“Oh, goddess. Bless her.”

The chief fell down in front of me, the craftsman who started the war on the continent, and kissed me on the back of the foot.

“If that's the case, what does it matter if the Lord is the Demon King?" Great creature. Seven people starved to death just coming here. Please accept me, my scrubs, and the villagers! ”

I accepted it generously.

Agriculture is distributed equally for free. The tax rate shall likewise be 3.

A year later, the farm was empty. I gave a one-half tax rate to the unincorporated areas, and it was only half a year old. The number of Territorial Citizens had suddenly surpassed a hundred units and risen to 2,000.

In the Black Mountains, farming works well.

Farms don't want to wither with so many spirits roaming the land and forests, and clouds pour rain quite often as they cross the mountains. The only reason there are so many Spirits is that there are enough Mana... Monsters. It also means that the water is overflowing.

Without trying, monsters appear and the Black Mountains don't dare place Sully near the humans who gave their lives.

This is where I completely prevented the monster from invading.

Moreover, the tax rate was ridiculously low. You didn't collect any taxes for grinding wheat in the windmill. I opened the market and did not collect taxes. As long as I kept the law well, there was no problem. From the people's point of view, it would have been the land of the dead.

All the land is gone now. I couldn't tolerate any more refugees.

However, at the end of the year, the dungeon was completed to the fifth floor underground.

“Opens Castle to adventurers! ”

I finally executed my plan.

The fact that Humans are constantly gathering in the Black Mountains means that monsters resist wanting to attack by my command. Even the Demon King has to complain about monsters.

All of those monsters were housed in my dungeon. A dungeon where Mana never rests. Monsters moved to the Fencing Dungeon without speaking.

At first, it was just a Goblin, but gradually, the Minotaurs, Lizardmen, Dwarves…… but not the magic, but the intellectuals that could be called the Mine began to come in.

I have the weak on the first floor of the dungeon, and the strong on the basement. Of course, even the weaker species moved the higher-level individuals underground.

Thus, the Demon Castle of Dantalian became a monster department store.

You could call it a new dungeon.

In the original dungeon, strong individuals and weak individuals lived together. I had to become a powerful commander to stay near the Demon King. There was no Demon King to place only the weaker monsters at the entrance. Of course I did. Why would I leave a weak monster to familiarize myself with the Demon Castle?

When the dungeon is still new, send powerful monsters to destroy the Adventure Party. This is the stone.

But I had a different goal than the other Demon Kings.

“The Demon King and the Adventure Party are no longer at odds with each other. ”

Why Destroy Adventure Battalion? The Adventure Party is armed with expensive armor. Since I don't trust anyone else and live a vagrant life, I always carry all my wealth in my arms. It's a walking gold coin.

“We are business associates." ”

Adventurers get meat or bones from Mana by hunting monsters in my dungeon. I take the armor and property of the adventurers who died hunting like that. Look, either way, it's win-win.

There are too many Mana in the dungeon, so if you leave them alone, the monsters will reproduce like hummingbirds. By dealing with this, the population is properly controlled.

Furthermore, monsters often become more powerful by eating adventurers. These monsters are summoned as my personal guards. I really appreciate these adventurers.

“No more farming? Then pick up a spear instead of a pickaxe. Become an adventurer and hunt magic! There are only weakened Goblins on the first floor anyway. You can survive long enough. ”

You smuggled a luxurious disease like a Goblin Shaman into the basement. There were only the weakest Goblins and Slimes on the first floor. Even the peasants of this world stood together.

Dungeon if you want to live!

The refugees who fled to my territory held their weapons one by one. There were quite a few people who died of carelessness, but there were a lot more people who really started earning stable income. You, too, only took a little time to jump into the dungeon.

The giant gears of the urban economy gradually move.

First, after hearing the rumors, wizards came from the continent and the horse system.

“Great one. It is the glory of my life to share wolves. ”

“It became an outright courtesy. I understand that a wizard is a race that leads to misdemeanor. ”

The wizard strokes his full-grown white beard.

“Here, here. This is Dantalian, the self-proclaimed Dantalian. Then I'll tell you straight away. At the Mount of Rusatia, we would like to call upon you to establish a station in your territory. ”

“Hehe.”

I drank the wine.

“Is the purpose of the ingredients that adventurers bring up in their own Castle of Magic? ”

“Oh, you saw it all at once. How dare you hide something? That's right."

“For the study of magic. ”

The wizard smiled brightly like a child.

“Yes! Magical meat and bones are the best ingredients for training alchemy and magic. It's nothing compared to the magic that grazes and lives on grasslands...! ”

He looked at me with his begging eyes.

“Great one. I heard that God has allowed humans to venture into Castle Marwan graciously. But it's going to cost a lot of money to carry the ingredients of magic to other cities. What do you think? Our tower will buy property right away. ”

“Granted.”

I nodded.

I was the one who spread rumors about the towers in the first place. There was nothing bad about wizards moving to the mainland. Well, a human being would think differently if it was Barbatos who was running the games.

“But mortal. This is the place where only I, Dantalian, rule. Your wizards will never have more rights than the common folk. If you want to be treated like a nobleman, get rid of it. ”

“You mean this? ”

The wizard leans down without hesitation.

“All that matters to us is studying magic. The classes and privileges spoken in the passage have essentially nothing to do with us. ”

“Let me ask you a question. I am the Demon King. You are a human species. Still, it's awkward to have enemies in the Demon King's territory. ”

“Great one. And that's the fast track. ”

The Wizard smiles.

“Very well. Not just you, but many of the horses that have decided to come here. ”

“Y-you did? Phew. You can't monopolize the ingredients... No, I thought you might. ”

The old man frowns, but my expression brightens as I add a few words.

“Ah. Among them are the horses that cross from the horse system. ”

“Mahjong...? Are you sure? Magic!?”

The Horseman Wizard was more powerful than the Human Wizard. It seems like the Horsemen are good at magical skills.

Of course, given the magical advancement, the horse system was one step ahead of the continent. Knowing that, the wizards tried desperately to summon Mine from the Magic Cube. Please teach me magic.

However, there was very little chance that the Mages would be summoned, and even if they were summoned, it was difficult for the Mage to show favor to Humans. For the wizards, the Horse Wizard was the bread of painting and the object of admiration.

“Well, then, I'll definitely move in! Please let me move in! It doesn't matter how much tax you pay, Your Majesty, please do something merciful! ”

It is said that the target of Tokyo is not an individual, but a horse tower unit. The Human Wizard's Eye will flip over.

I smiled.

“The tax rate of 3 halves for buying and selling ingredients of magic. In addition, the right to preferentially handle various drugs and armor produced in the tower. ”

“Excellent! No, it's nothing like that! I'll sign it right away!”

The old wizard forgets his manners and snorts.

Together, the Twelve Horse Towers enter the territory. It was the birth of an unprecedented Human-Horse Joint Magical Study Area.

If there is a Horse Tower that specializes in Alchemy, there is a Horse Tower that specializes in Metal Enhancement. The horses carefully exchanged their own developed magic systems, inspiring each other.

The tower that had been moved to the headquarters was very shocked.

“Mix Medicine with Magic Enhancement Spell and apply it to your weapon for a special effect! ”

“There may be a way to do powerful magic, no matter the circle! ”

“Don't spare the ingredients. This is the money I've been saving for. Develop generously!”

The wizards were actively involved in the study.

Armor and drugs manufactured during the study were sold to me. I had the fortune to buy them all. Of course, my wealth was not limitless, so I spent a lot, but it didn't matter at all.

I reclaimed the magic tools I had acquired to the continent and to the barge. The Kunkusa Parliament intervened in the middle and took an enormous amount of brokerage, but it was better because an even greater amount of revenue fell into my hands.

A monster that becomes an ingredient.

An adventurer who becomes a producer.

A wizard who becomes a Processor.

The honor of selling it.

With your rhythm, I really started earning huge profits. Luxurious magical tools were an item that could never be broken, so the future was bright. For example, drugs that increase the life expectancy were sold at a tremendous price to human denials.

Ivar Lothbrok, the owner of Kunkusa, came to see me about the enormous gains from the territory.

The last time, Ivar was slammed and humiliated by me. It was that the profit on my territory was so great that I forgot my humiliation.

“Your Grace, allow the council of Kunkusa to broker exclusive production of the tower. ”

“Of course, Ivar Lothbrok and I are very special, so I'd like to ask a favor of you. Lord Lothbrok let me be who I am today, didn't he? ”

As I answered positively, Ivar's face turned pale.

“But you still visit with the body of a fake doll. I should have told you sooner. That I wouldn't trust you if you didn't come to me in real life. ”

“Yes……? ”

“Come to your own body, a vampire. Otherwise, the deal is off the table. ”

Ivar's face rots.
