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

"Do you know how Reginald got out of King's Capital?

"Exactly yesterday today I haven't been able to complete my investigation. But it's gonna be hard to find out now."

I didn't even realize I was switching with the Shadow Warrior at all.

I wouldn't even have a clue left already.

"When you do, you should find a collaborator."

Collaborators.

Whether you want to escape from the King's Capital or lurk after you escape, it doesn't work without someone's help.

"Anyone have any idea?

"There is..."

The young knight has a bad tooth cut.

"Any reason?

"Right. A detailed investigation was conducted after the coup was successful, but Reginald seemed to have been doing a lot of things, such as sidelining the treasury and giving preferential treatment to those who would cooperate with the policy."

The amount of embezzlement is enormous.

He had received contributions by way of preferential treatment.

He seemed to have talent for such things, and until the coup was successful, he had succeeded in rubbing them off.

"There were five chambers of commerce that were sidelined the treasury, and eight chambers and organizations that were favoured. He also hired other bandits to profit by selling information about disturbing chambers of commerce and nobility."

"It's a really embarrassing story"

A magnificent knight mourns.

...... hmm?

"Hire a Bandit?

"That's right. These are the bandits you captured."

I thought it was something I heard somewhere about the bandits that attacked me on my way to King's Capital.

Baron Sealing was circulating information on those who had visited his territory to the bandits on instructions from someone.

"A knight serving the Sealing family threw up information, but a few years ago he said he owed money because of some overlapping troubles. So, the person who owed it was Reginald's breathtaking chamber of commerce."

It was quite moist but not enough to pay off the debt immediately.

Where I was in trouble, a proposal is made by the Chamber of Commerce.

"They asked for information instead of keeping interest down," he said.

The debtor Sealing family had no choice but to obey.

Because knowing the circumstances showed that we were able to follow a large band of bandits, and we realized that if we refused, the inhabitants would be attacked.

We obeyed reluctantly because we also had a benefit.

"The knights also provided information by safeguarding themselves and their families. As the same knight, I know how they feel, so I can't denigrate them."

In time, punishment would be inflicted on the Sealing family, but for the knights who were serving, the minimum punishment was all that was required.

"What are the chances that that Chamber of Commerce is hiding?

If the Chamber of Commerce was moving like a Reginald handkerchief, it could be hiding even after escaping from the Wang capital.

"That's hard. The kingdom's surveillance comes from the fact that Prince Reginald has been working all sorts of vices since before the Bandits' case came to light. If you're making such a suspicious move, the surveillance reports should be up."

There are no such reports.

"Though he's the most prominent candidate, he might want to go after him from another organization."

The Chamber of Commerce, which was deluding the paperwork to reduce taxes. By deluding the quantity of ore mined from the mine, we were accommodating the interests of the floating ore content to the Chamber of Commerce and ourselves. They were doing a lot of things because they could lighten taxes simply by rewriting profits.

That's how he secretly built his weapon with the money he got and used his fighting power to crush the opposing organization as he wanted it to.

They even have organizations inside that do human trafficking and even kidnap them.

The more I look, the more problems I find.

"There was no real harm, but they also funded troublesome religious groups,"

"Religious groups... Rigorous"

"Oh, speaking of which, you included that one."

Rigolism - an organization that brought together those who wanted the end of the world and were looking to revive demons called 'Beasts of the End'. It was crusaded only to inflict great harm on the King's capital because it did not possess as much power as the labyrinth lord of what was incomplete but succeeded in reviving it.

I knew from testimony from those who belonged that they needed more money than it was an organization and that they were receiving assistance from someone. I didn't think that was Prince Reginald.

"Damn, I thought it was a Rigorous man who did that in the King's Capital. If this were to happen, you'd have to crush it thoroughly!

"You've known for a long time, but you didn't respond."

"I don't have a choice. What Prince Reginald was doing was too diverse. While we were being chased around, there were incidents like that."

The threat of Rigolism was low.

As a result, priorities had been put behind them.

"But you definitely had something to do with Rigolism,"

"Right. There was a record of Prince Reginald."

Until the record of financial assistance was kept.

It seemed like he was going to make a lot of bills later, and he kept a fine record.

"Those who were the Lord in the record have already been disposed of. But I didn't see any trace of Prince Reginald alive after the investigation."

Those who are at the top, no matter how low the priority, are captured.

The executioners who made the case in the last few months cannot be captured because they have all become homeless, but the others have been captured and after a rigorous interrogation has taken place.

If the knight seriously interrogated him but couldn't find him, I guess he doesn't know.

"We've got other organizations, we've got superiors, we've got them."

"Then there's a chance they're hiding it from someone at the end of the line who's not even on the record."

A knight is not free enough to even have such a human search.

"If you want me to meet the officials of the people I captured, will you let me?

"I can't do that. He seems capable, but there's no way to show confidentiality to a guy who's not even an S-rank adventurer."

After all, is that what happens?

When that happens, we need to follow through with the clues we have at hand.

"It's okay. Because there's only one kind of pawn that can be called a clue."

Get the information you need when you smile small.

A town two days away by flying horses west of Wang Du - Grete.

In a town with a population of just over a thousand people, just setting up farmland nearby, there was no noticeable industry, but I have been starting to invest in textiles for a few years now.

Long idle town.

People walking down the street live without worrying about the big noise that happened in the Wang capital, etc.

"What the hell are you doing here?

I took three knights and visited them after a night in a town on the way.

"As far as I'm concerned, I've always wondered how fast you guys were traveling."

"Fair enough."

"I don't care about that, promise."

This time, Ira and Iris, who have accompanied us, deceive us.

The three knights drove their horses, but we didn't have the horse riding skills, so we were allowed to travel side by side with the horses.

As a knight with riding skills as a matter of course, it was incredible, such as a human being who could run on par with a horse. Well, unlike horses who are tired of rough breaths, we're not even showing how tired we are.

"These guys are adventurers with more power than S-rank. I don't like adventurers, but you have to acknowledge your strength."

"Huh."

A young knight zeroes his sigh after receiving caution from a magnificent knight.

He doesn't seem to like us, but he seems to have a mind as someone who puts himself in battle.

"So, what are you going to do?

"We may have a Rigorous associate here. Let's storm there."

"Maybe that guy behind you has something to do with it?

It is directed towards a young man whose knight's eyes were at some point confluent.

"Yeah, he's a Rigolian we captured."

He stared at his hometown with his eyes like (in fact, dead) a former Rigolian tran.
