Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

Master Crowe! Theodrum idiots have gone through the bottom of the river!

Having been briefed by Kerr on the unexpected, Crowe turned to heaven - in reality, the ceiling of the cave (dungeon).

"... Kel... what are you trying to say about the peat seam?

"Yes... I'm sorry. Those idiots were so soft, they lost their calm."

"... I'm afraid of what kind of report you'll hear... report it."

--Before we introduce Kel's report, we will need to explain the incident that should also be mentioned in the first part of this story.

It was also (in the first place) the discovery of peat by a soldier of Theodrum at the end of April, not long after the snow melted.

Let's look around and see what happens.

"Burning? Like this mud?

"Yes, the soldier who discovered it said it could be used as fuel if it was dried. They said they couldn't get that much firepower."

"If that's the truth... this isn't how we do it on the spot. Verify immediately... oh, if it's not dry, it won't burn."

"Yes, so we haven't been able to confirm at this time"

After receiving a report from the Lieutenant, the Field Commander thought, "Hmm."

Originally, it is official to report after confirming at the site, but if it is related to the fuel problem of Theodrum, should this be reported as soon as possible? Or (in the first place) the task we were tasked with was the discovery of a burning stone called "coal." This one seems a little different, but it's not something that I can leave behind.... after all, you'd better hurry up and tell them that you didn't have time to check because you were in a hurry.

That's what I told my lieutenant.

"... are you reporting this as soon as possible?

Now I'm confused by a deputy officer with a confused expression.

"... is there a problem?

"No... it's a problem... I didn't think Marcus would catch me if I moved too fast."

"Ahh... there you are..."

Status quo A friendly - at least not excessively hostile - confrontation continues with Marcus. Nevertheless, it is not interesting to be distracted that we have made an important discovery. If the soldier's story is true and it can be used as fuel, depending on the matter, it could change the state of Theodoram. What Marcus would do if he was distracted… it is an unacceptable thing to predict.

... and thinking about it so far, I think the field commander has a limited means of controlling (in the first place) himself.

If it's the fastest, it's a flying dragon (Wyburn), but I didn't leave it here. So we have no choice but to walk or horse... here.

"... I have a hand in getting it mixed up in the regular reporting flight, but it will take half a month to get there. The report should be made as soon as possible. Maybe Marcus didn't find the same thing."

The lieutenant heard the commander's concerns, but I couldn't help but complain.

"... if you're in a hurry, it's probably the fastest way to fly a dragon (Wyburn) from Nicolam."

"Gregoram would be better if I were to deceive Marcus' eyes, but it would take nearly twice as long.... can I use Nicolam's Flying Dragon?

"Maybe there is a problem. At least we haven't heard from you."

"If there's a problem, they'll do something about it.... well, at least the best thing we can do here is push Nicoleum... and ask for help."

"One more thing to add. There is Professor Ainbecker in his land. I was wondering if I could ask for your opinion."

"Increasingly convenient.... the question is, how do we get them to Nicolam?"

"If you think about deceiving Marcus's eyes, it's a quick move. It's best to send a messenger in the dark....."

"In that case, how long does it take to walk?

"If it's a horse, it'll take five days on foot... or eight days to hurry. By the way, is it eight days by horse and thirteen to fourteen days by walk to Gregoram?"

"... that's all Gregoram has to say. I still have to walk to Nicolam."

"If you're lucky, you might be able to pick up a carriage along the way...."

"I can't guess. Can we get it out tonight?

"There are various arrangements, and I think it is difficult.... at a time like this, it would be useful to have a distant magic tool to listen to rumors..."

"Blurring things that aren't there doesn't start. It's a soldier's job to use something to do his job."

I am embarrassed to be a lieutenant, but I have to concur with that opinion from the heart.... should I add it as an opinion of the site in the report?

"... I see. What about the soldiers?

"Tell them to behave as usual.... and tomorrow we'll focus on peat mining... no, before we do that, let's see how much of it is distributed."

"I understand."

"Oh, wait.... the report also mentions that you may need reinforcements."

"That's... yes, I understand."
