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

Episode 25: The Bell That Wakes Up The Cartier

The sound of a shoe called a cutlet, a cutlet, echoes.

What we are now in is a spiral staircase leading to a cell in the basement of Imperial Castle. It's an important facility with limited access, but next to me is Rio, the emperor. If the Emperor accompanies us, we can enter any place. That's all power I have.

Nevertheless, it is true that I was somewhat unscrupulous.

I came all the way to the dungeon because I had someone to meet.

No other companions. I couldn't bring a woman to a place like this, so my family left me.

"Hey, how are you?

"You......!

The man in the cell comes looking at me and Rio with his bloody eyes.

It was the Rangen clan that was trapped. Among them, a man who was in a position to cooperate with the clan as a nobleman can roar. I also seem to have completely forgotten that they are emperors.

"This kind of treatment is unjust. Release him immediately!

"Unfair? This degree of treatment...?

It's a small amount for humans trapped in dungeons, but it's served three decent meals, and they're concerned about hygiene. He's pretty well considered given his position as a sinner.

That's because Zido is more important than they are.

This aristocratic man is only captured at last.

"Let me explain from your treatment first."

"Treatment, is that...?

"Your family has all been captured and already enslaved. From now on, there's going to be a painful life waiting for you that you think is better off dead."

"No way......!

"All your wives and mistresses are sold as whores, and your sons have decided to engage in Northern pioneering. Only my only daughter let her go as a warmth."

That's a harsh story, too.

My only daughter is five years old. It's just a story of banishment because I was too young to use it effectively and I had no use for it.There's no way a five-year-old girl can live in a situation where no one can rely on her. In the not-too-distant future, he is likely to be a resident of Slam Street, even if he was alive.

A former nobleman who cries down on the spot.

It's annoying, so I enchant it and isolate it from the sound.

"Well, my purpose is you"

Rio moves in front of Zido.

"There's nothing for me. Wait for the moment when the Empire will be ravaged."

I haven't told Zido anything about what happened outside.

So I woke up. I don't know that the demon has already been crusaded. It has not been twenty minutes since the most Carthea crusade, so not only Jid, but many people in Imperial Castle do not know.

"I'm sorry, but the Empire is gone."

"What?"

Zido can't believe Rio's words.

But he was quickly regaining his calm.

"The magic tools I used were working fine. And I know that even in this basement, the castle was noisy."

I never hear a sound from the dungeon.

However, Zido, who was a brilliant spy, was able to explore the situation on the ground in some way. As a result, I was in a hurry to find out that I was dealing with the medical records.

"It was really hard. Many sacrifices were made to soldiers at first because they were trying to do something with the power of the empire alone. But thanks to Mars here, we could crusade safely."

"That shouldn't be... that should be a level demon called 'disaster'..."

"I knew you knew about Cartier."

I did not imitate anything to ask in advance.

Because dealing with an impending crisis was a priority over that.

Mouthwatering jid.

But it's too pointless.

- Talk to me.

If you give me a word, I won't be able to defy you.

Slowly Zido starts talking.

"Around the world there are vicious demons passed down in the form of inheritance. They say those demons could have destroyed the country just by walking and even withered the forest, which was a natural rich place, in an instant."

The whole thing in it is carthea.

Such a fiercely powerful demon, but not freely rampaged all the time, but powerless by some hand.

Carthea had also put consciousness and flesh into eternal sleep by the person.

The magic tools used by Zido had the effect of forcing him to break that sleep.

"I found out about this monster called" Disaster. "

"All we need to know is who gave you the magic tool to unseal the cartel."

I already have a great deal of anticipation.

"I don't know much about it either. It was a woman with long chestnut hair who came into contact with me, her face hidden in the hood and invisible."

I can tell she's a woman because of her body, even if she can't see her face.

"That's when she told me she was the one doing the research on the demons and gave me what I found in the course of the research"

I conceded a magic tool shaped like a bell.

It was a bell that didn't ring a sound no matter how much it waved, sounding a shitty noise to the surrounding area the moment it was destroyed. However, Zido, the user, seemed to be the only one who heard it, and at first assumed that it had failed.

However, there were other audible beings besides the user.

That's - Cartier.

It was also a magic tool to evoke and also to evoke.

More problematic than that is the person who gave it away.

"I have no idea who he is."

"But there are only a few people who can give away such magic tools."

There is no need to leave behind magic tools that evoke 'disaster' until future generations in the first place.

But suppose that magic tool isn't what was left of the past, it's what was resurrected in modern times...

"We Labyrinth Masters can reproduce magic tools if we [convert magic] them."

Inevitably, we can also guess about the woman who came in contact with Zido.

"Labyrinth Family (Dungeon Servant), I guess"

It is also likely to be a companion of the Lüze encountered in the labyrinth in Palento, the home of Isla.

Production of demonic swords and research into giant demons.

Both are too troublesome a purpose.

"I changed my mind. As an emperor, I thought it would be difficult to cooperate with you as a labyrinth lord, but they've been fighting over my country, no matter what."

The empire would surely have perished if there had been such a thing as the Carthere would have ravaged.

I couldn't help but be perceived as a declaration of war because I gave him the magic tools to evoke such a dangerous demon.

"You can't just say something about a labyrinth lord. So let me help you wherever I can."

"Specifically?

"If you're saying those guys are leaping back there, there's a good chance that troublesome incidents are happening around the world, like this one. If I sniff out a strange case, I'll let you know first."

The point is, it's our job to actually investigate.

Rio, the emperor, waits on the throne for the report to arrive.

Nevertheless, it is not insulting to say that the national information network. You may also become aware of incidents like those you have previously overlooked. I'm pretty sure the country would be very grateful just to be on its side.

"Ha, what the hell am I...?

Zido, who was perplexing under orders, regains consciousness.

There won't be any more information I can make you spit out.

"I've decided what to do with you."

"Execution, is it?

That's what I've done with the Rangen clan so far.

I don't have to worry about information leaking because I own them now, but it doesn't mean they won't be released in any way.

So he demanded that everyone be executed as one of the conditions when he sold them over.

That was an efficient method after considering the safety aspects as well.

But now the Glenvarga Empire was facing a troublesome situation.

He said he had just rebuilt the country because of it, but he lacked his strength because of the sacrifice made to soldiers by the Carthea raid.

"You decided to crush it."

"Crush it?

"There was a shortage of good people who could do intelligence work. I'll ask you to work only for the Empire next time."

"What..."

He was a jid trying to defy me, but I can't defy him.

I decided to share their ownership with Rio. This also made him absolutely obedient to Rio's orders. It is not even acceptable to adopt a defiant attitude in the future.

The risks are well understood.

Of course I know Rio. bind their souls with the power of the labyrinth. I will plant a suicide bomber in case someone catches me. Even if I followed the trail of that time, it would be Rio to reach it.

This guaranteed minimal secrecy.

"This will do."

"Use it as you like. We even got an extra reward. I'm not going to stick my mouth in the way I use it."

"Thank you"
