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

Due to the turmoil emanating from Crowe's end, the heads of the coastal states such as Islamafan and Voldaban are living uneasy days.

Then, if other countries besides the coastal countries are living peaceful and safe days... naturally that's not the case. For the time being, the target of harassment, Theodorum, will be taken aside, and the country that is bothered by this will first be named Marcus.

After all, because Crowe was bordering Theodorum, which was the target, not only became a feather in the face of the infamous "Rock of Calamity," but also a national army unit sent by Theodorum, who was alerted to this plague dungeon, was forced to affix equal combat force to fight it. A powerful force drawn from a limited number of military forces is virtually in a position to be salted, so what do you call this without referring to it as a disaster? Marcus had been wary of the hegemonic Theodorum since then and defined it as a virtual enemy state, but taking that into account, the current situation could not be said to be desirable.

Between Marcus and Theodorum, what seemed to be a sense of solidarity between the victims swinging by this evil dungeon - mainly the soldiers at the lower end - was sprouting up... Looking at the current situation where the Theodorum was placed, the idea of "Oh, I don't want to be" was stronger, and as a result, I was distancing myself from Theodorum.

Marcus' perceptions and feelings towards Theodorum were as complex as his own... but as for Marcus, it was also true that Theodorum's movements were suspended. Especially...



"... what the hell are they doing over there?"

Dungeons that emerged in subtle and cautious places, such as directly above the border with a neighboring country in conflict, can only be a nuisance to both countries.

Yet Theodorum's soldiers spawn on the plague god dungeon with enthusiasm, just like they do every day. What are you doing in the world? Isn't that what I'm curious about?

“I'm sure Theodorum is digging something, digging something out. The problem is...."

Is that what this is about?

Marcus, who had previously been concerned about the problem, had studied Theodorum and refined his exploration in the dungeon, and he had accomplished the pleasure of discovering the deposits of Lake Numa Iron. Although the quality of the iron obtained is low, the scale of the deposits was comparable, so the value as an iron resource cannot be ignored.

Considering that Theodorum is skilled in refining low-grade iron ore to make iron products - and that it was able to recover the equivalent amount of iron from Shrek's low-grade iron ore - the Lake Numa iron here could also be effectively utilized by Theodorum.

― ― The Theodorum's people are mining or investigating the deposits of Lake Marsh Iron.

Marcus, who had made a dot, had made great strides in investigating the distribution of the Lake Numa iron ore deposit and securing it, instead of worshipping the aftermath of Theodorum....

"...... Isn't everything odd? What do you mean, you don't go out with the Theodorum people at all?"

Even though I've investigated the extent of this, I don't know if I'm still in custody, and I've never encountered a Theodorum soldier. Sure, the extent of the deposits was bigger than I expected, but what do you mean, you don't meet Theodorum soldiers, you don't even meet their traces?

"... is there a hierarchy in the dungeon?" Aren't they excavating at different levels? "

It is often forgotten, but this is a dungeon with a history of calamity. Therefore, there is no doubt that there is a hierarchy, and if there is, it is possible that Theodorum is active in different hierarchies.

"I'm not a servant without...... but......"

"Ah, the Theodorum's men have never seen a single ore like that before."

To be precise, the Theodorum people have been seen carrying something several times, but it's not like Konuma Iron. It was observed that he was carrying something like mud. In other words, he stood colored and wondered whether he was carrying the lake-numa iron out of the mud, but when he probed it, it turned out that it was peat.

Other than that, if you consider this,

Isn't it Lake Numa Iron that Theodorum is excavating?

"I'm starting to feel that way..."

Even so, we can't stop exploring Lake Numa Railway now.

Later, Theodorum found me and scratched me from the side. Even in the sense of spitting, it is better to continue the investigation as it is.

But then I was curious.....
