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

"Is that why the non-hume folks are setting up a secret monopoly?"

"If you can expect the same effect as the healing medicine......"

"No... I'm sorry to make such a noise, but it doesn't seem to be that much." From the traces of magic power, it seems to be slightly higher than conventional products. "

"Hmm..."

"Isn't that enough to make a scene...?"

The secretaries of state, who seemed to be a little bit cold-headed,

”But... I've never seen it contain so much magic power.”

“Yeah, we're not expecting a high effect right now, but if we keep improving, we might be able to increase the concentration.”

“I'm sure the non-fumes are trying to keep this information to themselves.”

”Well... it would be a terrible commotion if I was not well-known.”

What a terrifying plan these non-hummers have - and these were Lords of State... again, no.

The reason Crowe doesn't show torrenting sugar is because when he leaves the refined sugar industry to the non-fumes, the explanation of the source becomes troublesome. A painting of a monster - the official setting of a crow - is picking sugar from a monster... don't you have any trouble explaining it?

Without being able to comprehend such an underlying circumstance, it was the Lords of State...... but from the point of view of one of the Lords, the situation goes in an even stranger direction.

"... no... but... even if there were such sugar, isn't it subtle how to use it?" Isn't it more expensive than the magic potion? "

"Hmm..."

"Sure... that's it...?"

Whatever you do, it's sugar. Unlike magic healing pills that can be made by skilled magicians, they are different from where they can be produced. Beyond adding the volume to the price, it has to be much higher than the recovery medicine. Considering the profit margin, it seems that the taste is less than the recovery medicine.

"... are you thinking of using it as a condiment...?"

"Maybe it's for future research."

"No... I was upset and blown off my head... but if they're going to keep the sugar in question secret [in the first place], isn't it strange that they're selling molasses?" Was it sold as a different kind of molasses in the store? "

"Ah....."

"Surely... I can't see your intention to hide it..."

It was the lords who deepened the confusion, but here comes one who makes the problem even more complicated.

"... sorry to make this even more confusing... but why are the non-fumes selling (...) molasses?"

In the process of purifying brown sugar to obtain white sugar, molasses are obtained as by-products. Morphine merchants know this, and they know that it's a sweetener.

However, compared to white sugar, molasses with slightly mixed flavors and habits are not accepted by all people as a seasoning, and because it is a liquid, it is troublesome to transport, so I do not dare to import it. With the same processed products, white sugar has a higher profit margin than white sugar.

Just knowing that, I was concerned about the report that "sugar and molasses were sold equally in non-fume stores".

"Sure... considering the hassle of transportation..."

“Oh, it's natural to prioritize white sugar, and it's unnatural to bring even molasses.”

Even from the point of view of economic warfare against Theodorum.

"Could it be... it's coming from a place closer than we thought... or"

"Or...?"

“If the non-fume ships are more powerful than I thought.”

“You're running a better ship than us!?”

Problem with the Ayahuasca region - refined sugar crops are being grown in a dungeon underneath Odrant - which is likely to be spotted, but fortunately Morphans' interest seems to have turned towards the ship. It seems that only Morphans involved in trading practices could ignore the ship's problems.

“But... that explains why non-fumes sell sugar at such cheap prices.”

Even if it is grown in close proximity so as not to incur transportation costs, it is a reason for low prices. However, based on the results of the analysis, it was considered that refined sugar crops are known to grow in sugar cane - the warm land - and that non-fume is likely to operate the ship in salvage matters. Therefore, the possibility of cultivation in this continent has been discarded long ago.

Now it's about a [high-performance] ship.

”Speed, resistance, or Lingbo... if that's the best part...”

This is...... Non-fume becomes an underestimated competitor in the trade.

- No.

Although it is certain that the performance of "ships" operated by Crowe is outside the specifications, they are dungeons in the first place and should be distinguished from ordinary ships.... even though it should set a line with the general dungeon...

And more than anything, the non-fumes don't have a good ship, and they don't plan to embark on overseas trade. Also, Crowe has no intention of recommending it.

But... Morphans who didn't know the circumstances were in a misunderstanding and struggling.
