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

"Tell me. What the hell is this facility?

Ask the defense system you grabbed.

The defense system should have more information than the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) I've only heard rumors about synthetic demons.

"I'm going to teach thieves like you..."

Flush the electric shock because you don't seem to understand your position.

Pusps and smoke are rising from the sphere.

"If you care about yourself, you better answer."

'... can't be taught to those without master authority'

There should be an interception at the same time as the rejection, but there is nothing we can do because there is no interception nearby.

"Master authority?

"Probably someone who, like the labyrinth owner, has the right to be the custodian of this facility"

"How do I get that master authority?

The quickest way to find out about the tower is to become a master.

If you're talking about someone in a similar position as the Labyrinth Lord, not only can you get all kinds of information by becoming a master, but you may also be able to get the rights to what's in the tower.

'You cannot override master permissions. The disappearance of the Master Authority is solely a waiver of the Authority at the Master's own discretion and the transfer or death of the Master'.

"Wouldn't that work?"

With the master there, they don't get master privileges.

"No, please wait a minute"

I thought I'd walk away, but Melissa notices something blocks me.

"You have a master right now."

……

There are others with master authority.

Moreover, the validity of the authority means that it has not been invalidated by death. In other words, the master is alive.

"I can't answer any more"

"This guy......!

Try to flush the electric shock again.

But just before the electric shock flowed, the light went out of the red eyeballs.

I have no reaction at all to anything that swings or forces me.

"Apparently, he sensed a crisis and fled."

There's nothing like the consciousness of a defense system in the sphere you're gripping.

You mean Oten is somewhere else?

"Definitely"

Nature and everyone's gaze are turned upwards.

We can't get it up and running without master authority for something that has a transfer magic formation in the center upstairs.

It's not where I can see it, although I'll try to find a staircase where I can go up.

Apparently, it's a mechanism by which people can't go up without permission.

Besides, the third floor is 50 meters away.

It's not easy to reach.

"I have no choice. If you don't have stairs, you can build them."

Labyrinth Operation: Architecture (Build).

The stairs that connect the labyrinth hierarchy to the hierarchy are purified from the foot to the wall. However, it is a substitute for something like a stone slab that scaffolds from the wall to suppress the use of magic. Exactly fifty meters and the consumption of magic won't be foolish either.

The staircase that glides around the outer circumference of the large space is completed in minutes.

"Let's go."

"Hey, are you sure you're okay?

Ira asks me worried.

That's the first time I've also generated a staircase as tall as 50 meters outside the labyrinth. I'm a little unsure because of that.

But it makes me anxious when the person who created that look shows it.

Be the first to ascend the stairs as the one responsible for building them.

"Probably, okay"

"Probably!?

"That's a little..."

Ira and Noel that make me anxious.

But Silvia, Melissa, and Iris are the only two people who seem anxious to follow me.

Melissa can fly on her own just in case she slips down the stairs, and Iris understands the strength of the stairs without being told as someone who can use labyrinth manipulation just like me. Sylvia simply trusts me unconditionally.

I just can't tell two people who seem anxious to follow me without saying anything, etc.

"Don't worry. I'll take it when I fall down the stairs."

"Really?"

Ira, still in front of the stairs, looks up.

"Oh."

That's all I can say from you.

"Then I'll go"

We all ascend the stairs.

A trap could not have been set on the stairs prepared by the rapid construction, and we were able to reach the third floor without any problems.

However, don't tell me that after I arrived on the third floor, I realized that I was the only one who should have gone up the stairs and summoned five people by [summons].

This is the third floor of the tower.

The first floor is a warehouse.

Upstairs is the vault.

On the third floor there was a line of boxes that looked sturdy.

The size is about 3 meters high and 20 meters wide. There were many such boxes lined up.

"What is this box?

I peeked inside to try and saw something falling behind me.

"This is..."

"Could it be -!"

Noel is about to raise his voice when he realizes what something like a falling stick is.

Even if the appraisal is unavailable, I can tell by just looking at it a little.

Bones.

There are a few similar things left in the back.

Most of them have been weathered, but some have apparently succeeded in keeping their form minimal.

"Probably had the same effect of keeping it inside as the" state preservation box "that was on the ground floor."

Maintain the human condition inside.

It was good while the box was safe and kept working, but when the box itself weathered, it also ran out of effect and they couldn't keep it in condition.

"This..."

Sylvia, who was exploring the big box, offered me a bunch of paper.

They had some parts spared from weathering as well as people's bones.

However, I am concerned about the dark look on Sylvia's face I offer.

The gaze is directed towards a bunch of paper. He checked it before he gave it to me.

―――――

I just regretted what I read.

The bundle of paper was the material for the experiment that was being carried out on this occasion.

The study of synthetic demons was discontinued not long before the catastrophe. However, that is not only superficial, but the truth is that research will be carried out in undersea cities built for a different purpose. Unfortunately, it didn't say anything about the real purpose, so I don't know.

Cities that were under the sea could also be spared from catastrophes that occurred on the ground.

However, the effects of the desolation of the ground render the transfer magic formations that were connecting the ground to the undersea cities inoperable.

As a result, supplies are loose.

Fortunately, there have been techniques of self-sufficiency, but people who knew the existence of a submarine city had been evacuated in the fold of the catastrophe.

It significantly exceeded the number of people assumed in self-sufficiency.

One day people frightened of a bankrupt evacuation life got their hands on contraindications.

"It's food for the humans who have fled."

"That's..."

There's no way they'd even raise their hunger where they ate a few humans as they were.

So the researchers who were in the undersea cities thought.

"I demonized humans."

Enlarges human flesh by multiplying people with demons.

By knitting this method, it was decided to eliminate the hunger of many by sacrificing only one human being.

"But even if I could quench my hunger that way, the limit would come"

The number of people in the city is finite.

Though I have succeeded in doing so for hundreds of years. Gradually, the numbers ran out.

"It seems that's when the pirates showed up."

When survival was only the last few, pirates with submarines appeared.

By that time, the effects of the catastrophe had also healed and even emerged as pirates seeking treasure.

"Survivors who rejoiced in the food for a long time, they took synthetic demons and caught pirates one after the other."

The captured pirates will all be brought to this place and locked up.

The meat is processed to its limits, and the bones are skeleton as part of the city's defense system before being used.

"Terrible..."

Even though he was a pirate, he had lost his word at the very end.

"The facility where the outrageous experiments were taking place - that sounds like the identity of this tower"
