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

Chapter 88: Morvanian Army Border Surveillance Unit 4. Surveillance Unit Garrison

Garrison of the Border Surveillance Unit of the Royal Morvania Army. In the Great Tent there was a debriefing session on the results of the environmental survey conducted by the Survey Department. Because the commander of the unit and the head of the investigation department were both of a nature to dislike the vernacular phrase (s), the debriefing itself took place in a hazy atmosphere.

"... when I investigated the old stock shrub (Kanbo), there were indeed traces of contamination caused by arsenic (hi) frost (yes). Despite this, little arsenic frost (yes) has been detected from soil or water. Is that what you say?

"I know you're not convinced. Because I'm not more convinced than anyone. But unfortunately, this is the truth."

General Kirbid stares at the chief of the investigation department. Professor Habeel, the head of the investigation department, who takes that gaze without a step. The two powerful gazes were temporarily intertwined, but eventually the general snorted like he was good at it.

"Fine. What makes it so much - so much less - different from the content of the lectures we received in our own country as to be able to accept the findings as they are?

"I don't know what the lecture the general has received and how it was done... there has been damage caused by arsenic frost (yes) in the place we call Shrek in Theodrum, and the mine has dungeoned due to its distraction... Is this OK?

"Oh, that's what I'm saying."

"Firstly, we cannot say anything about the dungeonization of mines. I didn't check the crime scene."

"I don't mind that."

"Shrek, I didn't even investigate the place, but there's already a description of the mineral poison in the old literature about where we are right now. Given the geography, it seems good to think of it as the same cause as the mineral poisoning of Shrek and Ya, so let me talk about this land within Morvania instead of Shrek within Theodoram in the future, right?

"The foreground is good, so get down to business."

"So... as I said earlier, we have long known about the mineral poison here, and we also know that its cause is arsenic frost (yes)... No, I was there (...)"

General Carbide says nothing and urges the continuation only with his gaze.

"A report by the Kingdom's Ministry of Agriculture examining the country's soil quality also describes the presence of arsenic frost (yes) in the soil and water nearby, and its concentration is measured."

"When are those reports and what are they?

"I don't know the years of the investigation itself right now, but it was published more than a decade ago."

"Go on."

"We chose the shrub (Kanbo), which is likely to be over 10 years old - for what reason, it has the properties of accumulating mineral toxins such as arsenic frost (yes) - to remove tissue from several places near the root to near the tip and measure the concentration of arsenic frost (yes) accumulating in the tissue. As a result, little arsenic frost (yes) could be extracted from the area close to the tip, but a certain amount of arsenic frost (yes) could be extracted from other areas. The estimated concentration of arsenic frost (yes) in the soil from the extracted concentration of arsenic frost (yes) is roughly consistent with the figures in the Department of Agriculture report."

"Do you know when the tip that failed to extract the arsenic frost grew up?

The professor returns the answer to the general's question, which was sent without intermittent hair, at a time as if he had anticipated the question in advance.

"Precision measurements of some specimens indicate that they are within about six months."

"Hmm... then what can you guess..."

"Please wait. We haven't finished reporting yet."

The professor continues the conversation so that he can be put to the word of a near-said general.

"We dug a dozen excavation wells to investigate water quality under a prediction. As a result, the concentration of arsenic frost in the water was lower the closer to the border, from the border, rather than perhaps higher as we moved away from the shrek, and the decrease in the concentration of arsenic frost was apparently faster the closer to the shrek."

It took a little while for Professor Habeel's statement to seep (and) penetrate General Carbid's head, but once understood, the General... has turned his gaze more and more before.

That would be so. If the professor's story is to be seen as pelican swallowing, Shrek has been the cause of mineral poisoning by arsenic frost (yes) for many years, but for the past six months he has behaved as the cause of purification, as he has returned his hands.

"... As for the investigation department, how do you interpret the findings?

A professor with a shoulder strapped to the General's words. When you look at what is happening inside, you may feel your shoulders squirting all the time.

"I know it sounds silly to me, but given the results of the investigation and the fact that Shrek's anomaly occurred roughly six months ago, I can hypothesize that Shrek's mine may have absorbed the mineral poison in the dungeon process."

"So... is it in my Morvania's national interest that that dungeon exists?

I'm fine with the hypothesis of being too insane - maybe I'm abandoning it - but the professor who spoke is also a professor, but the general who lays that paranoid theory down calmly is also considerable.

The people around us - only two have ever spoken, but there are a large number of other bureaucrats and scientists under the tent - are obviously in a pull, but only one, the professor, responds to the General's remarks without alarm.

"You can't say anything about that. But I know what it takes to get the general's answer to that question."

"What's that?

"I'm an expert in dungeons, or monsters. You're not hunting, you're studying."

"Do you have an expert like that?

"Even if you're not in our country, you'll be somewhere. For countries like Manastella and Illustria and Morfan."

"Illustria..."
