Dungeon Maker

< Chapter 21 # 4 >

“The daughter of the Endelion, Ofelia, meets the Lord Gaza of the Great Mamon Family. ”

The Demon King's room.

Ophelia kneels before the dragon lagoon on the throne. Just to the left of the throne was the guardian Katarina, and under the newly built altar of the dungeon was Eligos, Likum and Skull.

Ofelia is now the most powerful of the Mamon family's existing servants. Furthermore, I felt a sense of weight in each of the small actions, since I did not live a short life as a group of intestines.

"No, is it more elegant than a sense of weight? ’

Sitting on the throne, being greeted by Ophelia, I felt like I was one step closer to the ‘Demon King’ I had imagined as a child.

But now was not the time to rejoice in meeting the needs. Yongho, who was curious about the reason for Ophelia's sudden visit, said as quietly as possible in a quiet tone.

“Thanks for coming all the way out here. Your visit is sooner than expected. ”

“I became a servant of House Mamon. We need to keep an eye on the interior of the dungeon, and above all, it's changing rapidly in spaces outside the dungeon. ”

Ofelia dressed up as a bartender, as in a tavern, said straightaway. This was more convenient for Dragon who was not familiar with complex etiquette.

Yongho also asked directly.

“What is the situation of the other households? ”

“We should begin the movement in a few days. We are almost decimating the death or defeat of Forest. It's been a long time since he left to fight the Mamons. ”

It was a matter that I had already discussed at the tavern.

It was necessary to mobilize more than a few dozen units to target other dungeons, and troops of that size could be seen no matter what they did.

“Especially the movements of the Evigail family in the north-west of Forest. I went to the tavern yesterday and not only gathered information, I hired a homeless boy in the free city. ”

It was purposeful behavior for everyone to see.

Yongho narrows his eyes.

“What about the Forest family? ”

“The servants have begun to flee. ”

The vanquishing army had deserters.

It was not because they were ministers living in the dungeon without eyes and ears.

The spirit of the dungeon died and a new heir emerged.

Garju, which has kept the Forest family strong for decades, no longer exists.

Furthermore, the reason that Forest moved in the first place was because the chaos in the Southern space began. It was hard to sit still on a sinking ship.

“Freelancers - Orcs are leaving first of all. As you know, Gaju, the main minister of the Forest family was an Orc. It was decisive that almost all of them disappeared from the battle of House Mamon, not only for the Hochrist Gokun who ruled those Orcs, but also for the subordinate leaders. ”

The commander's role was not just to command operations on the battlefield. Maintaining troop morale was also an important mission of the commander.

In Ophelia's words, Yongho looks back at Likum, and Likum, one of the ‘June-Leader Hauptbahk Orcs’, replies with a slightly bitter face.

“Orcs worship the strong. There are currently no strong enough to control the Orcs in the Forest. ”

But even so, it was not a good story to hear.

Orcs weren't hired by the Forest family as floating mercenaries. They were serving horses, and, quite frankly, they were more like regular soldiers.

However, it was clearly an embarrassment that those people abandoned their families because they were in danger.

I started to see shame on Likum's face. It wasn't just because the Orcs of the Forest family were ashamed. It was Likum himself who abandoned the Forest family first.

Even his own men's lives were at stake, and even though they faced a losing battle, it was true that they abandoned the Forest family and chose the Mamon family.

What would you do if you were in the same situation again?

Will you abandon House Mamon then?

Can we say no?

Dragon Hoe, who guessed Rikum's pain, turned his gaze back on Ofelia. It was the same for Dragon Ho that made me feel subtle, so I couldn't say anything else.

Ofelia said it again.

“The first straggler is like the first piece of the domino. As the number of deviants increases, so does the minds of the rest. And it eventually leads to mass exorcism of the veterans. ”

I'm not the only one.

Someone else did. That's what everybody does. It's not even my first time.

As Ofelia said, it was a domino. Yongho remembered his friends who ran away without cleaning up after school. The basic context itself was the same, although it was too different from the current situation.

Unlike the rest of Eligos, Katarina's face is visibly darker. The ears sag, and the tail sags as well.

It's already happened to the Mamons. It only took a few days for Catarina and Eligos to remain in the Mamon family dungeon, where there were more than a dozen of them to fall.

“Other mom-and-pop owners know this information as well. Orcs from the Forest family have flowed into the Free City or have gone to other tenants and asked them to hire them. ”

Forest is dead. Servants are leaving the dungeon.

It was not just this situation of the Forest family that prompted the poachers.

“Embryo's chaos is growing as well. Households around the world are competing in dungeon battles. Even the defeated housewives after forming a coalition are more obsessed with empowering themselves by eating other dungeons and households than by seeking new alliances. ”

It was a very different situation than when the mamon household committed suicide.

The housewives were leaving their backs. I had to get into a fight to protect the dungeon.

Yongho also recognized the seriousness of the situation. If the Forest family was destroyed too soon, it wouldn't have been of any benefit to Dragon Hoe.

Ofelia pulls out a fist-sized orb from her chest. I handed the orb over to Eligos, who naturally approached me, and said,

“This is a long-range comm. Moving forward, we will communicate the information via a communicator. ”

The dragon, who received the orb through Eligos, nods. Like Kaiwan's ring or bracelet, I felt magic in the beads. It was Ofelia's magic.

“Thanks for coming all the way out here. Thanks for the information.First... Let's get rid of this mess. Look around the dungeon as well. ”

“Ofelia, daughter of Endelion, I will accept the Lord's will. ”

With Ofelia respectfully showing her respect, Yongho leaves her to Eligos and rises from the throne. Yongho also needed time to think.

The meeting was closed naturally.

“The dungeon is better than I thought. ”

It was a glimpse of Ofelia circling the interior of the dungeon along Eligos.

‘I'm not kidding, really. ’

It's been a while since the previous owner of the Mamon Family died. During that time, I thought that the interior of the Mamon Gary Dungeon could not be normal after experiencing the desertion of service that the Forest family is experiencing at the banquet.

But what is this?

The Mamon family dungeon boasted that it thought there might only be a flat passageway and the Demon King's room, which was quite a dungeon.

Eligos smiles brightly as he gives a cheerful, candid look to Ofelia.

“It's all thanks to the Lord. ”

“I see.”

It was an honest answer again. It was the answer I wanted, but somehow it was a heartbroken Eligos. It was as if I had heard that you had done nothing.

Eligos and Ofelia are now the second sanctuary of Eligos - the first, of course, the torture chamber. - in the cafeteria.

Eligos, who kept his smile close, asks Ofelia again.

“Is there anything bad in the dungeon... or should I add? Please give me your undisputed opinion. ”

Although Eligos worked as the head of the Mamon family for a long time, the Mamon family was very small in the days of the Warehouse and Gaju. Ofelia, the tavern mistress, would have caught something that Eligos didn't think of himself.

Ophelia's sincere attitude softens her expression slightly. He said with a slight smile.

“Not enough entertainment. ”

“Entertainment… Facility? ”

“I was going to tell him myself... because it was the atmosphere earlier. ”

The enemy wasn't coming in right now. In just a few days, the enemy was more likely to move, and the target was not the Mamon Family, but the Forest Family. And perhaps the Forest family was more likely to act as a barrier than they thought.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere was only going to get worse.

Ofelia spoke.

“It's funny to say this, but there is also a need for ministers. And I'm stressed. If you don't properly relieve your urges and relieve your stress, you can't maintain fraud. It's less efficient. ”

“Uh... do I have to set up a tavern or something in the dungeon? ”

“That's the basics. There was a tavern back in the days of the previous host... It must have been decommissioned by the time you came in. ”

Eligos replied with a bitter smile.

Ofelia shrugs.

“I'd like to build a gambling den. It's also a great way to recover the salary paid to the workers. Of course, sometimes I have to pop the jackpot, but... you know? Gambling is a structure in which the gambler wins. ”

The last smile was quite sinister. Especially with the fact that she owns the biggest gambling parlor in the free city.

The good man, Eligos, said after clearing his throat politely instead of saying, ’But you are a minister, too.'

“I'll ask Lord. ”

“I'll do it myself. I'm leaving tomorrow anyway. And then -”

“And?”

“The biggest flaw is you, Eligos. ”

Ofelia spoke so naturally that Eligos did not immediately understand what she was saying. A long time after I heard it, I blinked my eyes.

“Of course, I admire your contribution to the damned Mamon Family - no, actually. But what can I say... The Mamon family is enough for you so far. You were a great butler. But not in the Mamon family. You're too weak. ”

Eligos flinches at the last word of Ofelia, whose voice turned to his throat. The prepared words disappeared like lies.

“Eligos, you know, the chairman is in charge of everything in the dungeon. In fact, you can call it Dungeon Number Two. If so, it's not enough to do the dirty work alone. It doesn't have to be a number two, but at least you need the right kind of muscle for the Executive Chairman position. She's also the last line of defense for the dungeon. Especially at the same time. ”

Eligos can't say Moore again. Ofelia was right. In fact, most of the dungeon's chiefs were possessors of considerable force.

The battle against the Forest rises in Eligos' mind. In that battle, Eligos himself did nothing.

Ofelia smiles brightly. You slap Eligos on the shoulder wet in the depths.

“But don't worry. I'm here now. ”

It contained a lot of things. Eligos' eyes falter, and Ophelia looks directly into his eyes.

“Not right now, but one day, when the Mamons are bigger than they are and they're affecting the Free Cities... I'll have to fold up the tavern and head over to Mamon Street. You don't have to overdo it because I'll take over as chief of staff. ”

Ofelia stands up. He tapped Eligos on the shoulder once more.

“Well done so far. Please keep up the good work. ”

Ofelia, who speaks ill, turns away. I left the restaurant with a red tail.

This should be enough, right? Bad Lord. '

The first mission you undertook in the dungeon was evil.

Of course, Yongho didn't tell me what to do specifically. I just asked for a little encouragement from Eligos.

The red daemon was a battle faction, as expected by the dragon.

That's why Ophelia thought Eligos wouldn't fall for it.

‘Even if you're old, you can't cheat blood even if you have the same temperament. ’

Furthermore, Yongho had the power of evolution. How many times have I seen such a marvelous miracle before my eyes?

‘Show some tenacity for finishing a ruining dungeon. That's a really high rating. ’

Before leaving the restaurant, Ofelia grins like a villain, looking at Eligos for the last time.

And that night.

A red heat has risen at the basic training ground of the Servants who have just returned to the Mamon family's arms.

All night, until dawn finally breaks.

The End
