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

Let's go back a little bit in time around here and look at the two of them, Dar of the 1st Illustrious Battalion and Krushank, who were pushed by their bosses to do a pile of work.

From my boss, Sir Warren, it was a magic communication machine, and (1) about the gold coin of Manastella that the merchant of Theodorum had brought to Voldavan, (2) about the mysterious group of "shakers" who were blocking the street between Kalanigan and Theodorum, (3) about the "lost house" that appeared in the abandoned village of Avan, and the two of them who were pressed to carry out three investigations, but... In fact, after arriving at Kalanigan, they joined the crusade almost immediately, so they did not have time to inquire into Kalanigan. Well, I could only buy rumors about Shaker.

After the crusade ended in failure, the two of them resumed their inquiries, but this was not difficult at all. In other words, I stretched my legs to the bar and just pointed a little water at the person who was wrapping the tube there, so I could hear the funny story.

Well, it's mostly stupid, but stupid is, in short, an unproductive statement of dissatisfaction with things that are unwilling, but that can't be done with your own power. If you connect such stupidity, you can see the reality of the unwilling situation. In other words, it became clear where and how “shakers” were having a negative impact.



Those of you who were dealing with Theodorum among the Kalanigan merchants have become the eyes that attract the most hustlers.

I spoke to my partner, Dar, in a room in the inn, and Krushank was in a good mood for this inquiry. His enthusiastic interrogation (laugh) was worth it, and the information gathered in the investigation so far.

"Is it the effect of the blockade?" But it doesn't seem to affect most merchants very much. "

"Well... even if it's the road to Theodorum, I can't wait to see how it goes through the mountains." There wasn't much traffic in the beginning. "

"Is the main road to the east?"... you were leaving the abandoned village of Abang from Sagan town. "

"That's the Avan of [Lost House], which is the center of the current conversation."... well, I've been doing some research, too... "

"Don't be vague, Aban is going to harvest more in the town of Sagan than he is here." From that, I'll tell you what I've asked you so far. "

"Heh... As I said before, the merchants who have had direct dealings with Theodorum in this town have already started their business." Well, they're also moving at a loss and trying to increase their dealings with other parties. "

"You mean you didn't lose that much?"

Well, I guess that's why many people are dissatisfied that the Theodorum Sugar trade that used to be so lucrative is still going to be so popular.

"I can confirm that story." It looks like you're going to ask the Adventurer's Guild to crush you again, but the Guild is going to shake its head vertically. ”

"Well... there was no result, and there were only casualties..."

At any rate, Kalanigan's merchants calculate that "Shaker" has at least two platoons, and if you're not good at it, you'll have company-size combat power. Who would take on such a noisy opponent? Crowe, who had missed the field trials of the Automatic Counter-Strike System and the "Combatants", seemed to be waiting for another Crusade in the face of humiliation, but at the moment there was a strong indication that it would be an empty gesture.

"... I'm going to keep going. It looks like trading on Kalanigan is going to be shaky, so I'm going to see more sugar trade via Sagan." And other deals, too. "

"...... You're telling me that there's a bunch of people in Sagan who are aiming for a bunch of money in the [lost house]?"

"I've just asked you over here." Well, if you go to the scene (Sagan) for details, you'll know. "

"... an adventurer's title is useful at a time like this." You can't be suspicious if you ask about the town. "

Which roads are busy, that is, where to make money with a favorable economy, is also important information for adventurers. Therefore, even if you ask about the story of the hand, there is nothing suspicious about it.

"Well, I heard from the merchant I drank with last night... I'm having trouble with the seashells I prepared for the deal with Theodorum."

"... seashells?"

Oh, it's a seashell. In the Theodorum description, it's used for soil improvement.

"... are you saying it's not?"

“Did you know that? They use seashells for refining sugar. I first heard about it last night, too."

Did the reader remember that Amurfan merchant Kazan, whom the Kites had travelled to meet earlier, had told that story? It seems that Krushank also asked about similar stories here in Kalanigan.

"Sugar refining... you're trying to improve the quality now?"

"Well, it seems that the non-fumes are selling high-quality sugar at the cheapest price." Even as Theodorum, you probably need to improve your quality a little bit. "

"But... if you're going to go up against the non-hummies, you can't put that amount of labor on the selling price." There's going to be a headwind on Theodorum. "

"Well, I guess the price of Theodorum's sugar was too high." I don't think you have much time and effort to fart. "

It was about the gold coin of Manastella that followed the story of commerce with a light bite to Theodorum, and then went up to the top. This is my gold coin which Crowe commanded Amen to make for settlement. Crowe, who did not intend to cause damage to Manastella, made "gold coins" with a quality that was not pale compared to the real one, which led to the confusion of various aspects.

Moreover, the gold veins under the "pit" prepared by Crowe as bullion were characterized by the composition of the clutter. "Pit" gold veins have been stolen by Theodorum and used to mint gold coins in his country. Because of this, the "gold coins" made by Crowe also had the same components as the old gold coins of Theodorum, which further deepened the confusion of everyone involved.

Yu (more), the commercial guild that discovered the fact about the common elements of this bullion component has also decided on strict secrecy, so it was not caught up in Dar or Krushank's investigation.

--No, the commercial guild is still the same?

"Ah. As usual, the guards are strong." [Manastella's Bullion] doesn't seem to be any better than the rumors I've heard so far.... except for one thing. "

"Huh... you mean there was something dug out?"

"Well, it's not a big deal... but the [Manastella Coin] in question hasn't been found by anyone other than the Theodorum merchant."

”... again... this is a story that seems to be brewing something into a plain.”
