Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)
Lesson 16: The Wangdu Labyrinth - Lower Level
Wangdu Labyrinth basement 9th floor.
If you believe King Patrick's explanation, you should have reached the bottom level soon.
We haven't fought at all so far. We're not tired at all, but the knights' faces already showed so much fatigue that we couldn't hide them. Health and magic are restored by potion each time, but fatigue continues to accumulate.
All the avant-garde knights fought in the upper level, but since the middle level and beyond, ghostly demons had also come out, so the wizards drank potions with a magical restoration effect to restore the depleted magic.
It's a potion with a healing effect, but you can welcome it if it works, but it doesn't taste good anyway.
Says it's as bitter on the mouth as a good drug, but if you keep taking it many times a day, the effect will diminish and only the bitter taste will remain in your body.
I still drink potions to restore the magic consumed by wizards who crusaded the ghosts bigger than men.
"But I heard the labyrinth is a place where you can make money, is it really a place where you can make money?
Prince Randolph whines as he sees the knights drinking potion like hot water.
The price of potions varies according to quality, but even the worst quality potions do a few pieces in silver coins. Definitely a deficit if you have drunk up many of them every time you explore them.
"Normally I don't use potions like this. This time we're targeting the bottom line, so let's cut it off as a necessary expense."
"The same goes for expenses, but isn't there a chest at all"
I couldn't find a single crate until the ninth basement.
All the demons that appear on it have poor quality demon stones that reside in their bodies: goblins, slimes, ghosts.
This doesn't make a lot of money to take home.
"Labyrinth owners are able to set up crate installations and demonic placements. But this labyrinth is a labyrinth that the labyrinth master can't set up, so maybe it doesn't have a chest at all."
Prince Randolph was convinced of my answer, "Is that what it is..."
"Most importantly, since we have prioritized our offense, it is possible that a treasure chest was placed at the end of the sidewalk."
In fact, even in my labyrinth, it's more often placed at the end of a side road in Cave Field.
Because the adventurer who is searching is lost and stays in the labyrinth for a long time.
But there is no need in the first place to put the crate down and buy time itself because there is no need to make such a time in a labyrinth that no one will ever visit.
"Everybody stop"
The knight tells him to stop when he is in conversation with Prince Randolph.
From the direction of progress you can hear the footsteps of a person wearing metal armor called kachakacha.
"Maybe he's a survivor...?
One person who decides he's a knight from footsteps shrugs.
But we at the party made everyone want to shake our heads beside each other.
A few days have passed since the last exploration and there can be no survivors in a situation where no one will ever visit. I don't feel angry with the person approaching me from the front on that.
"Empty......?
Eventually the person who appeared was not inside just wearing armor.
A demon - a living armor - appeared, as did Ghost, whose magic caused by resentment began to move on its own by dwelling in armor and other objects.
"Those are Kingsguard armor......!
"And brand new means..."
The knights whine when they see the armor walking in independently.
As the knights found out, Living Armor's armor was quite a new thing. It would also be possible to create a new from the magic of the labyrinth, but there shouldn't be that much room in a labyrinth where people never visit on a decades-by-decade basis. That armor was probably a reuse of the knight's armor that challenged him to the labyrinth a few days ago.
"Damn... I don't know whose armor it is but I didn't know it would take the knight's armor..."
The Labyrinth only reused armor as one of its forces, so you wouldn't have trouble being told that.
"Attack initiated."
Living armor is a kind of ghost, but ghost is the very force that is moving armor and armor has an entity. Because of this, the knights' attacks are common, so the knights are about to be slashed.
There is something impatient about that look.
My colleague's armor is used as living armor, which means that no one is wearing it anymore.
Enemies.
Though they were knights slaughtered with an impatient look,
"Whoa!
"Stiff!"
The other way around, the sword was crushed because we attacked harder armor than we were wearing.
Living armor is used as a moving body, while at the same time hardening the material of the armor with magic, and it no longer works with the sword of coarseness.
Some of their storage rings have spare swords, but because they are spare, they are of less quality than the swords they have ever used. I hesitated because I knew that if I tried to slash the armor in the same way, the sword would break first.
Is it time to make some money?
"Let's sell one holy sword for twenty gold coins. We will also take out the loan only during this exploration with two gold coins."
What are you talking about, this guy?
Seen from the knights with such eyes.
"The Holy Sword is endowed with the power of light attributes without everything leaking. You can kill ghosts without relying on the power of a wizard."
A sword specialized in slashing ghosts and undead to which the power of light attributes is conferred, unlike the holy sword held by Ira and Iris. It works by flushing a small amount of magic.
If the knights couldn't do anything to their ghost opponents, they should be the gear they want enough to get their hands out of their throats.
"You take the money!?
What are you taking for granted?
A knight was screaming as he dodged the sword that came swinging down the living armor.
"You don't have to buy it if you don't need it."
"Ku......"
Gold coins are not as cheap as even Kingsguard knights can easily give out.
"You don't need that stuff!
A wizard shouts, who has been chanting an oblivious chant since the appearance of a living armor instead of a knight.
Looks like he chose to use powerful magic from the very beginning when a powerful enemy emerged.
The chant cannot be interrupted on the way. Stopping chanting and screaming would mean the magic is ready.
"If you don't want to get involved, stay away!
Light spits like a brace from the wand held by the wizard, approaching the living armor.
Breath of Holy Light (Divine Breath).
The light emitted from the wand fills the passage of the cave, destroying the spirit body that was manipulating every piece of armor that was becoming the living armor.
There was nothing left in the passage where the light ran through.
"Ooh."
My voice leaks like that unexpectedly.
The same is true of the skill with which you can use Divine Braces, but I admire the fact that you can use the magic of intense magic consumption without hesitation.
"This is my strength"
I'm just disappointed to see you drink out the cocoon and potion.
Me or Melissa have just the amount of magic that's fine with a series of divine braces.
"Shh, I'm sorry..."
One of the knights who lost his sword approached him with a look of sorry.
"Will you really sell me the Holy Sword?
"Yeah, I've got a couple of them, so no problem."
"Then sell me one. I'll make sure to pay when I get back on the ground!
I had an unexpected reason to wonder if I needed it because I had lost my sword.
"The Kingsguard gear is basically supposed to use what is paid for, but you can use your own weapon. I'd like to see the captains have the same holy sword."
"If that's the case"
Remove the holy sword from the chest (Treasure Box) and give it to them.
"Oh, this is it!
For the first time, the knight had rounded his eyes to the holy sword in his hand and was wiped like a child.
When the holy sword was laid, his body reflected the light emitted by the crystals, and the pattern he was holding was decorated in gold.
It's the most like the holy sword you can get from a chest.
"Do you like it?
"Oh!"
"Now, if you're paying when you get back on the ground, please"
"Of course."
I also looked at the look on the faces of the other knights, but there was nothing like telling them to sell me the Holy Sword just to bite my teeth off with a uniformly regrettable look.
Apparently they don't have enough savings to pay for the Holy Sword.
Though noble, there are not so many sums freely available for those who do not succeed to the title.
"A holy sword no less than the holy sword that the Knights Commander had. Twenty gold coins with such a holy sword would be cheaper."
A knight who proudly shows his colleagues.
As the knight says, the Holy Sword is expensive, but that's about the amount.
It's produced with magic, so if you convert it to an amount, the truth is, it doesn't even consume magic for a single piece of gold coin.
I would have made more money if I had sold it to everyone, but I can make enough money if I just sold it to one person.
