Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)
Episode 45: The Invitation to Auction
"Nobility pursued to blame for the defeat. They have stripped the title and the assets they owned have been confiscated by the state"
The country panicked because of it.
Originally, even if responsibility is pursued in order to rebuild the country from defeat, it will not be easily punished. I need you to work like a carriage horse.
But it was necessary to punish him early from the defeat, even if he was too busy, than the real purpose behind waging the war was' punishment of those who opposed the next emperor '. The more time you put aside, the harder it becomes to pursue responsibility.
The Count, who poisoned Rio's mother, has also confiscated his assets. They had a heir, but asset forfeiture without question. The anger that put her mother in danger is fierce. They're still getting food for the labyrinth.
"As a country, it's an embarrassing story, but the contents of the treasury are so depleted that it's difficult to run the state because we've waged a rather unscrupulous war. Fortunately, we squeezed the magic out of the nobles we captured and secured only minimal funds with the power of the Labyrinth, but we want to avoid relying on the power of the Labyrinth as much as possible"
Only while the Labyrinth Lord is alive can we rely on the power of the Labyrinth.
You can't always rely on such deadline uncertain power.
"So we decided to sell the confiscated assets. From real estate like land and mansions to paintings, swords, precious magic pills and magic tools."
Most are precious substitutes because they are assets owned by nobles.
As for the land, it is to be traded at a high price because it is supposed to sell the rights of a territory that is not so important to the country and at the same time give the title to those who have purchased it.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to buy real estate because I'm not interested in territorial management at all.
But I'm interested in magic tools.
"Is there an Epic tool in that?
"Unfortunately, we were too busy to [appraise] all the products. However, we confirm that the holy sword was dispersed in the [appraised] sword."
Holy Sword - If Ira has the same value as the Holy Sword she has, she will have the magic of a hundred gold coins.
"I did a little research, and it seems that it used to be owned by a nobleman who gave it a title by martial arts, but now it was owned by a small nobleman who was only glorified by the past. Looks like he was trying to help the first prince regain his past glory, but in the end, he failed. Because of this, the Holy Sword has decided to feed the treasury."
It seems that other valuable substitutes will be offered in a dilapidated manner.
"Didn't you [appraise] the other stuff?
"We've been busy with post-war processing, too."
We are understaffed and have not even reached the point of managing the confiscated assets.
When I first heard about the disposition of the nobility, I thought lightly, but how many nobles would have been disposed of when substitutes like the Holy Sword were being spilled?
This is a situation that worries me about future rule, but the area should settle down within a few years if we help the labyrinth.
"Only aristocrats within the Empire, royalties and nobles of other countries directly invited by the Emperor, and large merchants and famous adventurers with strong connections to the Empire are allowed to participate."
That's all you need to do just to participate.
It would not even be possible for us to participate if we had no hand over the Empire.
But there is a third reward.
"I will prepare for eligibility. I can't ignore the Imperial Palace because I'm asking for it from someone who's going to be queen."
"Rather than that, it is the current situation in which Cattleya is in control of most of the Imperial Room"
"... Master Rio?
"Sorry."
Apologize immediately, Rio.
The Empire seems to be in Mr. Cattleya's hands, including Rio, the emperor and labyrinth lord.
"To return, some of the substitutes that will be auctioned off are equivalent to the Holy Sword and have more magic than that. Do you want to join?
"I'll join you."
You can't be told such a delicious story and not eat it.
If there's anything that bothers you, it's possible you're trying to put me in a trap.
I'm probably going to recover my fishing money as an organizer for the price of a substitute that will be auctioned off because I've spent quite a bit on this one.
Besides, we've never been to an auction in the first place.
As for tools with magic power, if they are substitutes obtained from the labyrinth, [appraisal] can be used to understand them. But in order to do this, we need to see it firsthand, so we can't put someone on our behalf, and we need to participate ourselves.
I don't have much time until the event date, even though I don't have any experience with auctions.
"The date is the end of November"
The notice of the auction depicts the date and place of the event.
Less than three months until the date of the event.
"The coming period will be busy with harvesting and so on for those who have territorial management, mainly in agriculture, not very much, but no time like being in the auction. The Empire has recently come to calm down, so it will be held around the end of the fall."
In the meantime, we have no knowledge of the auction, we get someone's message, we get information.
I don't think I'll make it.
And if it were an auction, it would take a lot of money.
With the help of the Labyrinth, it will be possible to obtain funds from magic, but it makes no sense that we are creating a deficit with it.
We need to make some money between the dates.
"We need to prepare you too, so we'll get back to you as soon as the date approaches."
That's what I say. Remove the fist large crystal from the storage ring.
"This crystal is a 'distant crystal'. You should register the magic reactions that other Far Tale Crystals have in advance, but you will be able to have conversations with the registered Far Tale Crystals. As a result, if you're anywhere I can pick you up, someone else will pick you up."
By then, Mr. Cattleya's stomach is visibly bigger.
At least it shouldn't be easy to walk outside the capital.
"Thank you"
"Then we'd like to hurry back"
Means of treating the mother who got it because of it.
I guess I couldn't help but try quickly, but I couldn't even cut up my story with me and go home, so I stayed.
"Oh, and don't worry, there's nothing resentful about the war."
"Nice to meet you."
As far as I'm concerned, that's more important, so it helps.
The Rio party that retrieved the bed disappears and the church becomes spacious at once.
"The competition is over, but this time you had a lot to gain."
I found that there were a lot of things I lacked just to work out in my labyrinth.
More importantly, the magic of the labyrinth is moisturizing.
'That's the magic of a labyrinth lord. It's only six days of exploration, and you've got a lot of magic. "
The labyrinth nucleus is about to enjoy checking the residual amount of magic.
[Labyrinth Adaptation] was not available during the Labyrinth attack, so our abundant magic power was also provided to the target.
It is also possible to gain magic in this way, but it will also be difficult in the future.
Rio will be busy as emperor from now on. Even the relatives, Mr. Cattleya, will support Rio as queen and sideroom, so you can't challenge the labyrinth lightly.
"Well, let's go home."
"What? What are you talking about?
Ira was grabbing my hand trying to get home with a metastasis.
You haven't been paid yet.
"You just got paid."
I got a hundred gold coins, and I promised I'd be eligible to participate in the auction.
So far, there shouldn't be any more rewards.
"Not from them, not from Mars."
Me?
I finally remembered when they told me.
I made a promise when I decided to organize.
"Dating, is it?
I had promised to go on a date with everyone thinking about Iris, who would make me leave a message at the bottom of the labyrinth.
In fact, retrofitting the labyrinth, including the 47th basement floor, was quite a heavy labor. It would be fine if it was about a date.
"I'm interested because I've never been able to stop by Empire before."
"Oh, I want to go eat something delicious"
"Then I'm a blacksmith. The holy sword is fine, but the sword used in the spare is quite worn out. Looks like there's a famous blacksmith in Teito, and I'm interested in glass finishing, so let's go check it out."
"I'm a library, right? I looked it up when I had time, but the Empire has a large library because it seems there is a collection of valuable books collected from the countries that have annexed it."
Four people talking to Wye about where they want to go.
I wasn't thinking about a date plan at all. As far as I'm concerned, it would help, but it's going to be hard for the four of us to tour everything we want to go in two days.
"Now let's change to a day instead of half a day per person. In the first place, we rarely end our communication with our peers in half a day."
"Then the period runs from morning to the next morning. For today, the five of us are going to relax."
"Wait a minute."
If you are held captive for one day, you will be squeezed in plenty at night.
I'm not sure I can stand it.
"I also have a colored demon pendant, so I'm fine"
That's not the problem.
Though I would like to say so, they pull my hand as it is grabbed and take me to the Transition Magic Formation.
Returning to the ground is fast with a metastatic crystal located on the 46th basement floor.
"I'm going to be busy with a lot of things when I get home, so I'm going to ask you to hang out for about four days."
