Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

There was a big fire in the center of the place where the Knights and Adventurers were stationed.They surrounded the fire and drank and screamed at the knights and adventurers.

Usually people do not agree with the job description, but now that the danger has left, they have been making a fuss together.

I enjoyed listening to that noise from the outside. [M]

Isn't it mixed?

"Elmer"

Elmer, who is supposed to be inside the commotion, talks to me.

"However, when I returned home, there was no sign of Mars and the others, so I asked Gaerio and the others about the situation and decided to visit."

You didn't have to come anywhere else.

Before the previous winter this year, the four Elmers planned to return home with a recent report.But suddenly, I was too busy to become a labyrinth lord, so I was almost there.

It seemed that I had just stopped by the Mansion by mistake and rushed to ask about the situation.

"But a powerful monster with the ability to petrify was the opponent."I went all out of my way to go, so it was really strong, wasn't it? "

Well, you were right to bring them all.

The fact that the six of them dealt with it did not let them escape, and they were able to definitely defeat it.

"But why did you decide to accept this offer?"

It's for Melissa.

"... it's for the Ragway family, isn't it?"

Elmer's words were accurate.

Melissa of the Ragway family. If nothing be done, he shall take his son-in-law, and her husband or child shall inherit the throne.I didn't know the fact that my brother might be born, so I just thought I was giving myself up to the house.

I may be able to recover the fact that I gave up.

I don't think I'm going to succeed the Ragway family now, but I was lost in the knowledge that I might have the future I had at a young age.

"He was lost when I told him."

"Is that so?" I heard from Mr. Gaerio, but when Elliot sent you a request, it seemed plain to you. "

"You talked to me."

"... is it strange?"

A request brought to the party.Talk to the leader because Melissa, one of the members, has been brought in.

I don't think there's anything special about it.

"He's a wise guy. If accepting a request has no great benefit for us, we refuse it without consulting them."

Gaerio, his father, was about to be put under pressure.However, Melissa was negotiating whether the opponent was the lord or not.Rather, they offered favourable conditions on the grounds of being threatened.

But I didn't come to a conclusion just by delaying the conversation to avoid disadvantage.

“At a time when he's lost, it's like he's answering.”

The monstrous features I had heard beforehand were not of great benefit to me.I would be able to gain territory and make profits in the future, but I had a problem with Zeon and needed profits immediately.

It would have been more profitable to gather information than to accept the request.

There are people in the world who are too strong to defeat an S-ranked adventurer, and they have been spared a lot of damage in some way.Those threatening monsters were hung with a bounty, and although they stood out by defeating them, they were a way to make a lot of money.

At least if we're not enemies like God, we won't lose.

"Melissa was somewhere out of her mind in a house called Ragway.All I can do is take the conversation in the direction of accepting the request. ”

That should have reassured Melissa a little.

Now that I have successfully completed my request, I am attending a banquet.

"I wish you could join the banquet."

"I won't do it."I didn't accompany Mr. Mars at his request, nor did I let the monsters struggle with it. "

In that case, your party members seem to be making a lot of noise.

Gilly and Dia were drinking with Melissa.

"Those three should have a good excuse to drink."Well, before I got here, Gems got drunk. "

Specially, the gems were not weak on alcohol, but two women were strong on alcohol.

You're struggling too, aren't you?

Both parties were more resistant to alcohol than women, and Elmer and I seemed to be joining forces.

So, what is Mars doing in this place?

A wooden fence surrounded the spot where they were stationed as they entered the forest to crush the great serpent.

I was just beyond the wooden fence.The night winds are cold, and it's not a good place to be crushing time.

"Is there something that bothers you?"

"..... ahh"

I couldn't tell my brother Gelato that I was delighted from the bottom of my heart that the great serpent had been crushed.

However, there was an anxiety material that could not be wiped away.

"You heard what the great serpent in the woods was doing."

"Yes, it's a vitality grab."

Luminous stones made from the life force that was supposed to be absorbed by the people freed from petrochemicals rolled out.

If more vitality is absorbed, it will become bigger and the color will become darker.

To the extent possible, Melissa was able to confirm the condition of the petrified people and grasp the luminous stones of everyone.

"According to him, it's not enough."

Not enough?

The size and color of the stolen vitality and glorious stones.

Even considering the amount used by the great serpent himself, only about 30% can be collected.

"That's...!"

"There are two possibilities."

One was hidden by the defeated Great Serpent himself.However, there is no doubt that it is already dead, and it is decorated in a wide place so that it can be handled no matter what, and it can be handled even if it is revived.

However, at the moment, it doesn't seem to be moving.

There are knights and adventurers full of nourishing vitality.However, he may be wary because he has the power to defeat himself at the same time.

"It's easy to deal with that, so it's okay."

I could have used Magic Power Conversion earlier.The opponent possesses a large amount of Vitality, and even if it can be revived, it cannot do anything if it is converted to the power of the Labyrinth, including Vitality.

"Another possibility is more troublesome."

If you were transferring it to another person.

More than half of the Vit Stolen has been passed.

I had to deal with an opponent with more power than the Great Snake.

That's why I'm not good at attending banquets. I'm waiting outside.

Waiting in a place with a view of the forest.

Even if you were transferring it to someone, it's highly likely that the life force you took was transferred from the Great Serpent to someone else.

If so, it is highly likely that the transferred [someone] is also in the forest.

"I don't have anyone to feed me anymore."The hungry opponent should take action immediately...... Whoa! "

At that moment, the bushes at the entrance of the forest sway.

The monsters in the forest basically never come out of the forest.Exceptionally, thousands of monsters in the forest became saturated, and monsters who lost the territorial contest sometimes appeared.

However, I was able to adjust the number so that if I thinned it out, it wouldn't come out.

Apparently, I saved you the trouble of finding it.

It was a troublesome possibility, but the troubles were solved.

But when I saw the monster coming out of the forest, I frowned.It was dark at night, but my eyes, the labyrinth lord, clearly grasped the opponent's figure.

And Elmer was caught in the same way.

Snakes, right?

A snake with gray scales.

It resembled a great serpent, but it was quite different in size.Even if I tangled my body in a tree, the huge body that seemed to be close to 50 meters was only about the size of a human.Even so, compared to an ordinary snake, it was large enough to be called a "great serpent", but after seeing the great serpent in the forest, I didn't think it was large.

And there is no visible pattern on the face on the torso.

In front of you is a snake the size of a human.

"...... Run!"

The moment the snake's eyes glowed suspiciously, they were shouting unexpectedly.
