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

"What is Theodorum digging?"

If you can see him spawn in the dungeon with a crane, there is no doubt that he is engaged in the mining of something. The question is what are you mining?

"Because there's nothing left to hang on to."

"No... I may not be able to say that much." There was a drop in the water level. "

Water level?

"Speaking of which... there have been times before when the water level in rivers and wells has been disturbed."

"Theodorum is doing some kind of water utility?"

Agricultural and domestic water in Marcus and Theodorum is basically dependent on river water. Located in the lower part of the river, Theodorum has always taken the lead in terms of water conservation against Marcus, who is located upstream. For Theodorum's upper echelons, at least, the idea is close to obsessive-mindedness.

If Theodorum has found a water source that is not dependent on rivers - even if it is only a possibility at the moment - it is understandable that it will be difficult to develop.... even if it was groundwater from the dungeon.

Fortunately or unhappily, Marcus was not so anxious about the water resources, and he did not encounter unexpected water accidents like Theodorum on the Marcus side of the "Dungeon of Calamity", so he was late in realizing the possibility of water resources called groundwater. I was aware that Theodorum seemed to have discovered the underground water vein, but I didn't think that Theodorum valued the underground water so much.

"... if Theodorum succeeds in developing the groundwater, it will take away a hand from us." I also understand why it is bound to an underground water source.... "

“Yeah, considering that, I still don't think that the groundwater veins are what Theodorum is passionate about right now.”

The reason they can't think of it is simple, because they go out every time with a crane. I don't think there are any tools that are so unsuitable for pumping up groundwater.

"There's no doubt that Theodorum is digging something... what the hell are you digging for?"

I thought about the possibility of peat... but it looks a little different.

When Theodorum began mining, Marcus was also investigating peat. Therefore, I knew that it could be used as fuel even though it was low quality, and I also understood what it was exactly. Sometimes shovels are more suitable for mining peat than cranes.

In fact, I have witnessed Theodorum soldiers involved in peat mining, but they were uniformly responsible for shoveling.

Then... the purpose of the soldiers who are deployed in the dungeon with the crane is something other than water and peat.

"I thought it was Konuma Tetsu... but to this day, I haven't witnessed one of the Theodorum soldiers..."

Hmm. Maybe it's not lake-numa iron.

”With this... we're in good shape, too”

What troubles the heads of the leaders of Marcus is the force that is forced to be attached to the "Rock of Calamity", as I mentioned at the beginning. As a Marcus who couldn't afford to mobilize enough troops, I really wanted to reduce the number of dispatched troops that weren't needed.

If Theodorum's movements were modest, it would be possible to pull up the soldiers for that reason. However, angrily, the Theodorum's people were strangely energetic - they were carrying out their swords - and spawned. No matter where you look at it, it's not a low-key force. There was no way I could say anything about increasing my strength.

--And even more troublesome, I don't know what the dungeon masters are thinking here.

Looks like they're in conflict with Theodorum... that's why the Dungeon Master decided to favor Marcus. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the appropriate strength in order to exercise vigilance.

"It's a troublesome situation..."

Marcus in the shape of a dress. Their troubles were endless.
