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

The elf merchants from Manastella were excited.

When I heard there was going to be a lecture on the strange ruins discovered in the shalds, I came here hoping that if I were good, I would be a seed of commerce, but this is more than I imagined. Nearly a thousand years ago (...) Elves and humans were taking hands? According to this, with the Demons? If this story is passed on to the home country, the relationship between the elves and the beasts in the home country and man will change dramatically. And old elves who cling to life in the woods will also have to change their attitudes. Because more than a thousand years ago (...) the elves left the woods to enter the wasteland and live together with the humans.

The idea of an elf merchant, albeit slightly, had deflected the facts to his convenience. Based on Sir Maverick's speech, first of all, the age of the sealed ruins was 600 to 700 years ago, not a thousand years ago. Not to mention not more than a thousand years ago - although in the mind of elf merchants it seems to be upgraded from "nearly a thousand years ago" to "over a thousand years ago" as early as possible. Secondly, there is no evidence that a large number of elves were settled in the wasteland, even if there are traces suggesting that the elves were present at the site. And thirdly, even if the elves and humans were involved in the construction of the ruins, they would not necessarily have lived together on a constant basis in the land of Shards.

However, such rigour was trivial for an elf merchant. They intended to communicate to their home countries what they had received - not what Sir Maverick had spoken.

I thought that would help stabilize the elves in my home country.

The man who came from Theodoram, a military state located south of the kingdom, was on heightened alert.

I came into this country to check the situation in response to a report that something like a strange civil unrest was going on within the Kingdom of Illustria… something strange was certainly going on. Apparently, unknown forces are hostile to Yaltanism, and noble territories with strong Yaltanism influence are being sniped at.

But that's not the problem. It is important in itself that this country has experienced attacks by completely new methods - human and economic turmoil. Military personnel and exchangers do not fail to analyze the damage and consider countermeasures to the means by which they attacked themselves - and if that is an effective method, even more so. That is, this country should now be aware of new means of attack and devising measures to combat them. The fact that our Theodoram neighbors gain experience in battle is not preferable to whatever it is.

Besides that, it's the ruins of this one. From the speaker's story, it seems possible to garrison soldiers of a battalion size - not that big in fact - on that ruin. Moreover, referring to the dungeon and his ability to do so, he planned to grant him heavy defensive capabilities.

Says he needs at least three times as many troops as his enemies to destroy a caged enemy at the base. That means we need at least three battalions to attack that ruin. In addition to that, how strong a base would be if the ancient knowledge and manipulation gained from analyzing the ruins were used. If a similar base were built all over the place, the damage to the attacker would be enormous.

For the security of our Theodoram, we need to find out as soon as possible about the structure and ancient techniques of his ruins.

… or we need to trample this country before this country takes those technologies into its own medicine cage….

We need to tell our country about this as soon as possible...

Kharad Midwifery, sent to the land by Yalta Central Church, held his head.

I didn't know you had the illusion (especially) that the subordinates and humans were holding hands. I heard that you understand the doctrine of my Yalta... I'm not kidding. Isn't it a good place for a traitor or a blasphemer?

The purpose of this lecture is to calm citizens upset by an unknown enemy called the Demonic Nation with Holy Magic - not under the leadership of the Kingdom, but under the prestige of our Yalta religion. If we bump up the paranoid theory that subhumans and humans weren't hostile to each other, the upset may certainly subside, but my Yaltan child (s) are rounded up. That college director did something really troublesome for me.

I'm in a position for the Dean of the College, and I can't have him sneaking off the stage.

I have to fly an expedition to the center tonight and tell the bishop about my son...

The devil's man was thinking.

Following Morrow to Shard, I heard there was a strange dungeon... 600 to 700 years ago? Isn't it a time when the entire Demon Nation was retreating from this country, avoiding wars in the kingdom? There's no way to be sure.

Sounds like a pretty unusual structure as a dungeon... but you just didn't reveal it to me until the details. Some sorcery steals memories... but apparently the dean himself has never been in a dungeon. When it comes to hearsay information alone, there is a limited amount of knowledge and, above all, doubts about certainty. I don't think I'll be honest with you about everything.

Morrow's dungeon seems to have changed a lot, but this dungeon seems to be pretty good, too. Choice is sacred magic... What the hell kind of dungeon is that?

... I wonder who built it. I'm not a demon because I use holy magic... I don't think so. Or... that the Demons and humans were working together, as that Dean of the College says?

It's not just about the ruins. Here in Vazari, a previously holy magical skeleton dragon appears, he said. It doesn't seem to have anything more to do with those who built the ruins than what we have in common: sacred magic... What the hell kind of monster is that? Who the hell is using that skeleton dragon? What is its purpose? And where did it come from?

The devil's man was deeply contemplative.

Sir Partridge was impressed with the content of the speech.

As for the particularities of the sealed ruins discovered this time, apparently a definite story. So what about the ancient ruins built in a way that precedes the same land of shalds for about two thousand years? There's not so much to know about that ruin. If we sort out the unorganized excavations, we might find some new facts.

Sir Partridge remembered a recent young friend. I was able to get Uezi to paint the book I had him illustrated earlier, but if I knew about the sealed ruins at that point, I would be a little sorry to hear that Sir Partridge was able to add quite a bit of content. Well, the contents of that book are basically descriptions of excavated goods only, and you should consider it in your next book. When I see my young friend again, I'll tell him about this lecture. I'm sure he'll be interested to hear it.

Sure, Crowe would be interested to hear it. Although the direction of interest may not be what Sir Partridge thinks.

… Nevertheless, the ancient ruins discovered by Non (I), this sealed ruin, is it a coincidence that they are all dead? Is there a location in this land called Shaldo that would bring about any doom? This could be an interesting research theme......

Sir Partridge felt the direction of the new research springing up one after the other, and he was turning to the quiet excitement.
