Count Alistair knew I was a Labyrinth Master.

I guess I knew from hearing in advance that the Alliance Master sitting next to me didn't look surprised to hear that I was the labyrinth lord.

But I'm not surprised either.

I am just a little surprised at what was already known, but I am talking to all the party members about the possibility that any of them will be known.

So only my brother is surprised to hear what has been known.

Exactly. Even S-rank adventurers couldn't win. Silverfang's crusade was overdone. I had to figure out what to do when my identity became known because it was already after the crusade, although I had trouble with what to do later.

"Can you tell me how I could have known for the future?

"You're still the truth. Previously, it was only one possibility, but I've been exploring the secret of your strength for a long time."

Our power was fascinating to interest the powerful.

Until then, he had enough power to defeat 1,000 demons in the three months since becoming an adventurer, even though he was just like a villager, and defeated demons with legendary power in beautiful conditions, even though he was with enhanced party members.

If there's a way to get that kind of fighting power, I'd love to.

"In the Guild, I got special magic tools (magic items) in the Labyrinth that not only empowered me, but also my party members... there were times when I was thinking that way"

"But I heard from the guild how special it is? I thought about it that way and let them fish past literature."

I guess the Alistair family, which has been lords of the Arcanum region for hundreds of years, has left a huge amount of material behind.

"It took me a while to do my own research because some of these materials were not to be shown to me other than my own, but my past owner kept a record of the existence of the" Labyrinth Lord, "which was also a note or so statement because it was 500 years old."

I could see the struggle from Count Alistair's face.

I was also surprised that 500 years ago notes had been left, but I had never heard such a story from the labyrinth nucleus.

"500 years ago is the Lord's two generations old labyrinth lord. I don't remember that much at the time, but I'm surprised they knew it existed. '

He didn't even know about the labyrinth nucleus.

"Your rapid power-up has become a labyrinth lord. And as for the party members, can they give the same benefits to those close to them as the labyrinth lords?

"Correct."

He doesn't even seem to know the details of his family, but there's definitely a deep connection between us and the labyrinth.

"Of course, there are advantages to empowering and so on, so instead, there are disadvantages, so whoever you are, you should stop doing things that empower him."

Incorporate family members into your own forces.

Only then will Alistair's power become a stone's throw.

But I'm not gonna help you with that.

First, the family members all die as if to take them on the road when the Lord dies. Even if I could maintain the strongest army while I was alive, that army would vanish if I ended my life. Also, in case anything happens to me, it will disappear.

It is wrong to have to rely on an army like that that that you do not think will disappear at any time.

The biggest problem again is that it becomes an army just for women.

Who likes and depends on the man. I don't have that kind of hobby!

And then I want you to stop doing things that would put me at a disadvantage, not only to me, but to the families of the party members.

Mother or sister if you use your position as a lord. Then it's easy to influence Mr. Gaelio's business, Melissa's family.

"What are you going to do if we do something to our detriment?

I have also thought about punishment if I suffer a disadvantage because I have predicted this for a long time.

"I will destroy the labyrinth."

"What?"

"Using your authority as a labyrinth lord, it is possible to let the labyrinth destroy itself in an instant. That's going to get you in trouble, too."

"... right"

"What do you mean?

It seems the Earl of Alistair knows the damage done when the labyrinth self-destructed, but the Alliance Master isn't thought to be that serious.

Well, maybe it's just recognition of the extent to which an adventurer can make steady money if you try from the guild.

"Alistair...... no, the Arcanum region can only do this because of its vast labyrinth. Demonic meat and vegetables are inexpensively available because of the labyrinth. Without the labyrinth, food self-sufficiency would fall all at once, and we would not be able to support the current population."

"Right..."

We need many adventurers because of the emergence of many demons of things in areas with many rural areas and thriving agricultural production, and we need many craftsmen to build weapons and protective equipment for adventurers' demonic crusades.

Harvest cannot be as abundant as it was when there was a labyrinth of things that could support such people.

He also needs combat power in a different way than Krashel. Many demons come and go, so many adventurers are needed, but it is impossible to maintain the number of adventurers today by making money outside the labyrinth. The adventurer sits in Alistair for a thousand bucks in the labyrinth and makes money doing crusade requests around him until structural change occurs.

"Do you understand? Without the labyrinth, it's not just food. Maintaining an adventurer becomes impossible. The trump card is always here."

"Okay. I swear I won't do anything to get my hands on your associates."

"Don't worry. The self-destruct function doesn't start unless I order it, so in case something happens to me, it doesn't start on its own."

"Right."

Count Alistair was relieved.

That's all the presence of the labyrinth had become indispensable.

"There's only one request here. It means we'll stick together as non-interference as we've always been. Alistair's presence has become indispensable to us."

You need to gain magic from adventurers who visit the labyrinth to maintain the labyrinth.

In order to attract many adventurers, a city about an hour or two to the labyrinth was a necessary condition to maintain.

"Labyrinth and city. This has to be symbiotic."

I mean, let's just do what we've always done.

"But until now - if I'm going to say that you can stay the same as you were before you became a labyrinth lord, can I get rid of you? Or there's a way to make a new labyrinth owner of someone who can be manipulated just like this one."

Still, the Alliance Master can't seem to give up the profits he gets from the labyrinth.

Are you serious?

"First, it's a way to become a labyrinth lord, but you need to touch the labyrinth nucleus at the bottom of the labyrinth. Do you have an adventurer today who can reach the lowest level, the 82nd basement?

"Basement 82nd Floor!?

I guess I really thought the basement 55th floor was the bottom floor. I was surprised to hear the Guildmaster hear the current bottom floor.

"I was able to transfer to the lowest tier thanks to meeting some conditions, do you want to look for someone who met that condition?

"What are the conditions?

"Come on?"

I really don't know.

So far I have also discussed with the labyrinth nucleus to explore various possibilities, but I have not found a clear answer. If you're responding to pedigree, there's a way to make my child the next labyrinth master. The next labyrinth lord will be needed so that the labyrinth nucleus will not be missed.

"I'm sorry, but as lord of Alistair, I forbid you to harm them"

"Lord..."

"He's saying 'cooperate' when he visits here as an adventurer. Let me make it as convenient as this."

"Yes."

That and the mistake must be corrected.

"I thought it was the same situation I was in before I became a labyrinth lord, but do you really think so?

"What..."

"Beginners should be getting a little more treasure from the labyrinth than ever before."

"I'm getting reports like that"

One by one because it makes me suspicious when it gets just as much at once, but now that I can turn the magic that was turning to the lower levels of the labyrinth toward the upper levels, there are more treasures than ever before available to adventurers.

"It should be much better for me to be a labyrinth owner than to have an absence period."

I can benefit more from my current state.

I was convinced by the city lords and guild masters.

"Shall we discuss the details of the request?"
