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

Chapter 149: The Rock Cave of Disaster - Drainage - 2. Marcus Side Positions

In the Rock Cave of Disaster, more precisely in the theodrum-side realm of the Rock Cave of Disaster, the water came out - in a way that no one would have expected - to affect Marcus and the Crows.

"... well water level dropped?

A rare report from a subordinate that he is twisting his neck (a strand) was pushed by the commander of Marcus' "Rock Cave of Disaster" surveillance unit - note. Perspective of himself - is General Fiddle's deputy.

It also makes sense for a deputy general to twist (twist) his neck. That report was painful in understanding that the water level of the remaining wells around the surveillance position on Marcus's side had also eventually returned temporarily. If you don't know about the water (rinse) noise that occurred on the Theodrum side, there is certainly no difference in the content that is difficult to understand.

"... how long was the water level dropping?

"Approximately half a day...... no, it could have been shorter. Not all wells have been reported, but it's possible that they simply didn't notice."

"Hmm... what could be considered the cause?

"That's... at least there's no change in the flow rate of the river etc..."

The answers of the men questioned are also poorly toothed. It's the same with him who doesn't know what's going on.

The substitute general, often contemplating, eventually turns up and speaks slowly as if to indulge in the content.

"... if there had been no change in the flow rate of the river and only fluctuations in the water level of the well, the cause would be groundwater"

The accompanying deputy also returned the snort in silence. However, the following words pronounced by the deputy general even shocked the deputy's intentions.

"... if there is any other anomaly underground in this place, it would be in the dungeon. We should assume that the anomaly took place in Theodoram's territory more than we know any anomaly."

"... did you say (you said) that Theodrum interfered with the water vein?

"It would be them if it wasn't for us. Didn't I?"

- I can't say it's different, but it's hard to say it's right.

It is true that in the dungeon - precisely the non-dungeon part located behind the dungeon - it was Theodrum that caused the water (rinse) noise, but it was not what they intended, but the situation -

"Even though we can use waterways from rivers, we also use well water as drinking water. Is there anyone besides Theodrum who thinks about interfering with that well to benefit from, no, interfering with the well's water level before that?

... not aimed at interfering with Marcus, as deputy general Fiddle suspects.

"But... even if Theodoram did such mischief..."

Even though I say I didn't.

"... it is we who are located upstream. Can you interfere with the downstream theodram that far to the water level?

"Upstream and downstream is only a story from a river on the ground, isn't it? Groundwater flow could be different, right?

It has been mentioned several times before that the "cave of disaster" is located in the lake formations of Tai Ancient, in other words, the traces of the lake of Tai Ancient. And the groundwaters in question were those buried intact by the waterways that were supplying water to this ancient lake. The geohistorical problems around here will not be discussed in detail, but for the time being, it should only be understood that the river flow path and the groundwater veins do not match.

"... I don't think there's anyone in Theodoram who got that far into the groundwater..."

"Indeed, it may be coincidence that we discovered the first water vein. But if you've been searching for water ever since, is it too much of a thought for you to see signs of mischief there?

"No... as a soldier I thought it would be a reasonable response..."

"Besides, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but if Theodoram can interfere with our well water, we can't just sit back."

"... what do you do?

"It is decided. We need to find the underground waters."

Something seems to be going on in some strange direction (...), but he doesn't have any doubts about it even as a deputy.

"If Theodrum's guys dug a well, it must be an undungeoned realm. … probably in the back."

"As long as it's done... if it's a dungeon wall, it's indestructible."

Even Theodoram and Marcus stepped into the search for groundwater.

"... something strange is happening."

Crowe, who received a report from Kerr, could not forbid confusion over the fact that things were going in the expected diagonal direction.

'In the meantime, the area of the dungeon is going to expand...'

'Right......'
