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

It was after noon the following day that Theodoram's search party discovered the bodies of two missing adventurers.

The body, carrying a large quantity of ore and some harvest, seemed to have made an effort there, even though it reached (so close to) the exit (...).

"I was able to get to the exit in a little while..."

"You must have been careless..."

"But... it feels like a long time ago."

"What happened next..."

Soldiers who were standing in front of the bodies eventually retrieve the bodies and their luggage as ordered by their superiors. The commander of the search unit, who had inspected the body and its luggage transported to the bridgehead set up in the dungeon, decided that it was beyond the limits of discretion allowed to him, and sent a report to the rear base and asked for instructions. The instructions that eventually came back included bringing the bodies out and waiting on the spot.

"Did you bring out the body?"

"Sounds like you couldn't be knowledgeable, Master"

Crowe was concerned that the dungeon could continue to be searched for even after the body was found. He wanted to avoid giving information about the dungeon at any time, such as a Theodoram soldier, but with the status quo in which the situation had not been consolidated. The measure adopted by Crowe, who did not want him to be familiar, was to give him information that he could not have seen, along with the body. Specifically, he added an evocative article to the luggage of two adventurers - a fossil of leaves and a giant fish scale.

The fossils of the leaves were found and brought back by the Golems as they were digging through the pits to expand the dungeons. Although Crowe is not familiar with paleontology, it is clear that it is a broad-leaved leaf, and therefore it was thought that it might be a relatively new era of plants - ancient plants were like cidas and sothets.

For the fish scale, this is a patchy thing made up by Crowe. I tried synthesizing some of the scales left over from the fish fillets I ate in the condo with alchemy, and it turned into a giant single scale, so I just left it behind and put it down. It was complete ink information and the only purpose was to disrupt the upper layers of the theodrum.

The upper level of the Theodoram, which came into contact with this information, was puzzled, as Crowe's eyes (also) argued, and ordered the recovery of the adventurer's body and luggage and a pause in the search in the dungeon.

"So far, you're right... I can't honestly read how you're going to get out after this."

"Will it be impossible for adults to withdraw..."

There's another missing person. Measures to dash Marcus and look for a dungeon seem underdeveloped, and he won't be able to retreat any time soon '

Crowe's predictions are correct in a certain sense and will be overshadowed in a certain sense.

The Great Conference Room at the Royal Theodoram Castle. The secretaries of state and kings gathered there, and his aides, were excited about the unexpected information obtained from the dungeons.

"… then the stone with which this leaf is engraved…"

"Yes, it is believed that the ancient plants were petrified. I can't confirm the remnants of the magic, but whether it's because of the long time ago or because the magic wasn't involved from the beginning, that's all I can say."

"But what opinion does the professor have?

Ahead of the king's enquiry is an old man with gray hair and a long jaw (beard) and moustache (moustache) - both white. Attitude is heavy, but behind its eyes we see excitement no less than superior to kings and secretaries of state.

"If you will forgive me for my foolishness, perhaps both. After so many distracting years, it seems that the leaves of the ancient trees naturally petrified."

"And Professor, where there are such leafy stones..."

"Yes, not necessarily, but often, it's filled with black charcoal that's different from stone."

"And the charcoal burns, right?

"Equal to or more than ordinary charcoal"

The Secretary of State according to the old professor's answer.

"One message at a time. What about the scales the bodies carried?

"It's definitely a scale of fish"

"But there's more than a baby's palm, right?

"That's about as big a fish as it seems."

"The fact that there are so many big fish..."

It means there's plenty of water.

Not a single cough (shudder) has been heard in the Great Chamber, and everyone has swallowed a firm spit (not) and listened to the question of the old professor and the king.

"Behind that dungeon, there's something that our country doesn't stop looking for, water and fuel, right?

"It's only a possibility, but I guess those eyes aren't too low"

Although Theodoram is an agricultural country, there were concerns that its water resources depended on river water and that it would be cut off from the supply of water resources depending on the intentions of the countries located upstream. The issue of fuel was also real for Theodoram, who had wiped out mountain forests in the country through excessive agricultural land development. Those two resources may be gained in the dungeon.

At this moment, the development of the dungeon "Rock Cave of Disaster" became the supreme national proposition for Theodoram.

"You attack the dungeon at all costs and bring back the burning stones and water! If Marcus gets in the way, I'll allow him to exercise his powers!

The fossils and scales left by Crowe without any concern were to bring a new spark into this world.
