Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)
Chapter 226: People Touring the "Rock Cave" 11. Manastella - The Upper Level of the Kingdom - (Part 3)
"... let's simplify the problem a bit." What we have to worry about, Manastella, is the behavior of the non-fumes, whatever they are. We can discuss the movement of the commercial guild afterwards. "
Anyway, the motion, which is likely to lead to a significant effort cut, was adopted unanimously.
"So... (1) Theodorum gave information to the dwarf, (2) Marcus gave information to the dwarf, (3) Theodorum gave information to the dwarf by the Commercial Guild, (4) Marcus gave information to the dwarf by the Commercial Guild... are these four things okay?"
"Technically, it is conceivable that the commercial guild that received information from Theodorum and Marcus gave it to the dwarves...."
"(3) (4) (5) Isn't it okay to put it all together?" There would be no way to verify what information came from where. "
"Then... the dwarves got the source of the information..."
"(1) Theodorum, (2) Marcus, (3) Commercial Guild, (4) Outside the Dungeon..."
"It's been dramatically simplified again..."
"First of all, to consider the relationship between theodorum and non-fume, I think ① is impossible"
“I don't think the Dwarves will visit Theodorum, and even the Dwarves will be able to provide non-fumes with information.”
"Marcus has a dwarf living there, so if ② is possible... what happens to ③?"
”Hmm... I asked the dwarfs to cover up the information... could it be?”
I see. ③ can't be rejected.
"In that case, which one of you gave the information to the Commercial Guild?" Theodorum or Marcus? "
"Mhhh..."
Theodorum is basically a controlling economy, and the scale of commercial distribution is not large. Commercial activity in Theodorum is basically directed at the Commerce Department of Theodorum Kingdom, and the location of transactions is almost limited to several commercial capitals.
It is the borderline that has the Calamitous Rock Cave. It is far from the commercial capital, Markt, and from Gabel. Commercial guilds are unlikely to visit, and Theodorum won't allow them to approach before that.
"Then... can I think of Marcus as the source of the information?"
"I see. Even in the case of ④, it is difficult to imagine that the dwarfs or commercial guilds have discovered something in Theodorum territory."
"Marcus after all..."
In that case, should I contact Marcus for more information?
I know that it is quicker to ask the dwarves of Manastella, but it is a big problem if they think that they are going to pry into the little trouble, and if they are going to induce disbelief and revulsion towards Manastella.
"In the circumstances, the dwarves have not revealed the information to Japan at the present time."
"Is it a big deal that we're being misinterpreted as watching the dwarves?"
In fact, when I passed by the Dwarf's house, I only heard conversations occasionally (by chance), but... would you be convinced by that explanation?
"But... how do we get to Marcus?"
There is a diplomatic relationship between Manastella and Marcus, but Manastella does not have any interest in the "Calamitous Cave". There is no basis to request the disclosure of information.
"There's only one way to say that is by exchanging information about the dungeon or something." Happy or unhappy, my country was also swayed by the "Hundred Demon Caves" recently. There will be grounds for that. "
