Once again, the tea party with the addition of the ancient dragon grandfather became a lecture for me, a novice dungeon master.

Now, what kind of dungeons do Chise and Teto want to make?

I will not hesitate to give you the wisdom of our ancestors.

Having said that, and receiving a gaze of expectation that I would listen to anything, I think about what to ask with a twisted smile.

"Um......"

Yes, sir! I want to know something! ”

Tete raises his hand first, instead of asking me a question.

"Hmm. A question from Tet."Good! Ask me anything! "

What kind of dungeon did Grandpa and Ernest make?

I am certainly convinced by the question.

If you know what kind of dungeon they made, you may be able to ask questions.

Tet, Nice, I think.

What I used to build was a labyrinth that became my own residence.Once upon a time, humans attacked me to crush me.It got tedious, so I built it to repel it. "

"The dungeon my concubine is building is a resource dungeon to extract resources that cannot be extracted in the forest."It is also a training ground for training elf warriors and a magic production facility for creating magic power in the forest.Each hierarchy has a role, so I can't say anything at all. "

Listening to the story of the two dungeons, the old dragon grandfather's dungeon was generally a dungeon imagined by adventurers.

And the closest thing I can imagine is the same resource dungeon as Mr. Ernea.

Well then, how do I make the resource dungeon that Ernéa-san calls it?

When I asked, Ernea answered with her chest wide open, saying she had been waiting.

"First of all, Chise and Tete." Even if it is a resource dungeon, once the dungeon is completed, it will not be possible to extract resources forever. "

"Yeah? What do you mean?"

"Look, I'm talking about the running costs of the equipment."

As I lean my head back, I talk about the running costs of maintaining the hierarchy.

In addition to the materials and magic needed to install them, magic is collected every day to maintain the dungeon's placement.

"For example, let's say we dug up all the veins in the dungeon."However, without the magic power to maintain it, the veins will not return and will remain dead.And even if you can pour in your maintenance magic, it won't be completely undone in a day. "

In other words, you need to create enough magic to maintain those resources.

When I answered that, Mr. Ernea nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, that's why we often use it to recreate a part of the natural environment, generate magic power from it, and prepare a hierarchy dedicated to magic power production.

Is it going to be a hierarchy between us, also called a biotope?

Ernea-san's words were supplemented by the old dragon grandfather's words, and I chanted in my mouth with a biotope.

"Well then, is that a biotope?" How can I do this? ".

Tete asks about the biotope type that is easy to produce, and Ernea makes a thoughtful face.

"Hmm. It depends on the natural environment."The hierarchy of plants, the environment where animals were bred, the environment of monsters, and so on.My concubine mainly likes the type of forest that lets animals go, but I think that's what she likes. "

In the past, I used to say that I would make my devotees and followers live in dungeons, such as urban dungeons that collect the magic power emitted by those who lived there.

The creation of a forest and the release of animals came from the [wilderness of nothingness].

So, in the dungeon, I want to do something different, but I don't want to let people live or breed monsters.

A monster... if it's completely summoned, it's in danger of escaping.

The Great Barrier of Lilliel and the Phantom Magic taught by the Erneans did not bring the Demonic Realm monsters any closer to this place, but if they emerged from the inside and bred, they would be in trouble.

I would like to avoid such risks as much as possible.

The witch doesn't need to think deeply.There are trees with magic production capacity as much as the world's trees.If you put one of them in the dungeon, it will replenish some of its magic power. ”

"Hmm. That's right. The concubines are also growing the seedlings of the world tree that Chise gave them in the dungeon hierarchy, but it's still a wonderful magical power."

According to the advice of the ancient dragon grandfather, there was no problem with the magic power.

"I hope that's what you want... I've already made forests before..."

“Teto wants a delicious dungeon!”

"Tete says, [Witch's Forest of Creation] is inland, so it's difficult to get salt."

I wanted to create a dungeon where I could get food and salt that I couldn't get in the [Witch's Forest of Creation].

If you want to create a salt facility in the dungeon and become a plant that does not grow in the environment of the dungeon, will it be a tropical environment?

Hmmm. If that's all you've got, you can make it if you do it well.

That's right. If you need a sea creature to let go of in the dungeon, I'll fly and catch you!

Ernea-san also pushed the drum, and the ancient dragon's grandfather said so and offered to be powerful.

Now that you have a general dungeon policy, ask them what type of dungeon they have.

“For now, I have a dungeon policy, but what other dungeons do you know?”

Dungeons that appear across the continent are not very helpful, mainly because they seem to have been created using random dungeons.

"I'm sorry... I don't know anyone who makes dungeons other than concubines in this era."Rather, I'd like to hear it from my concubine. "

Well then, let's teach the Witch and the Fairy Queen.

Ernesto seems sorry for my question, but together we hear from the ancient dragon grandfather about various types of dungeons.

Labyrinth type - This is a dungeon with a large number of traps and monsters designed to defend and defeat intruders.

There were many things like setting up a constant number of pseudo creature types to replenish, preparing a number of full summon types to breed in the dungeon, and so on.

Plains, forests, and other hierarchies can be bred and increased by releasing monsters of the Perfect Summon type.

Disadvantages that take time from breeding to growth, and other species of monsters and intruders can defeat them, but sometimes a fully summoned monster emits magic power.

The advantage of the labyrinth type is that it can stimulate the evolution of monsters by causing struggles within such dungeons.

It looks interesting!

While eating sweets, Tete's eyes were shining with the story of the ancient dragon grandfather.

"Hmm. A monster, the Diamond Wolf, the Red Dragon, was born that repeatedly evolved to gain intelligence and solve words."I also challenged the dungeons and used people with qualities from the dead as rich and heroic spirits, and summoned spirits and demons to manage the hierarchy. ”

”Ahh... I've never thought about entrusting the management of the dungeon to a high-ranking spirit... but that sounds good”

Ernea laughed, wondering if there was something in the story of the ancient dragon grandfather that helped her.

That must be laughing when they skip the dungeon management job.

However, as for me, I was surprised that the ancient dragon's grandfather had created a horrible monster in the dungeon and made it obey it.

When I heard the details, it seemed that the summoned spirits and demons were bound by a contract, and the receiving flesh increased their power to interfere with the world, and they entrusted the management of the dungeon to me.

The ancient dragon grandfather, even if he attacked me through the hole in the contract, I could repudiate it, but there were some wizards who imitated it and acted as demons.

However, it seems that demon summoning and so on were often deceived by the cunning demon's tricks into making unfavorable contracts, or even killed before making a contract.

The demon sect's [Demon Possession] law that is passed on today, the ancient dragon grandfather speculates that the demons deliberately twisted the information over a long period of time to become a favorable contracting method for the demons.

As an unusual species, there was also a pneumatic type.If it worked well, the bones and corpses left in my aura might have risen to the undead, and the remnants of the dead might have become ghosts due to neglect, but I don't like them. "

"I don't think anyone likes that..."

The Sinister Qi type is a dungeon that generates a large number of monsters of the Perfect Summon type with low summoning costs, causing a cycle of breeding and co-cultivation, and generating a high concentration of Sinister Qi.

When a certain amount of magic energy was accumulated, a monster was born.

It seemed like they were mutagenically creating monsters that could not be created by the dungeon's function.

In addition, it seems that it also acted as a trap in itself, because it was harmful to humans themselves.

It seems to be established by setting up other unclean environments.

I remember a time when the pits in Lariel's controlled space were in such a state that I didn't want to create such a dungeon either.

If you can't use the world tree of unusually spooky magic power production methods for the biotope type that you want to make, it's not a hierarchy that is originally less difficult to manage and less rewarding.

Ernea nodded vigorously in agreement with Grandpa's words.

However, if you keep the balance of the food chain well, you can get the right magic power by breeding monsters in the hierarchy.I wanted to breed a weak monster that ate plants, and keep the predator's monster at the top so that the number wouldn't increase.Gain magic power from it.

"You expect magic from plants and monsters."But if we had a breedable monster, wouldn't it be too much stampering? "

It's still a question of equilibrium. Let the monsters do the right thing.Moreover, it was difficult to control the higher monsters, but if you set the perfect summoning type as the leader in the herd, the pseudo-living form would also move in a consistent manner according to the leader's orders. "

After that, if you order me to thin out more heads than I need, I'll be thinned out naturally.

The Perfect Summon Type had the potential to escape because it had free will, but if only one of them was the Pseudo-Life Type, they wouldn't have to worry about breeding.

Also, speaking of monsters, the amount of bait that needed to be thinned out was enough, so there was no dissatisfaction.

"I see... there's a little trick like that."Even so, it's a thinning designation. "

If you breed underwater creatures in a dungeon hierarchy that includes the ocean, the problem of too many will be thinned out if you have pseudo-life-type predators in place, so that the environment does not change drastically.

Besides, the Pseudo-Life Type can do a lot of things because it listens to the Dungeon Master's orders.

Then, listening to the dungeon, I asked what I had in mind.

In that case, is there any reason why there were so few initial installations?

When a dungeon occurs, you can take in the surrounding material and decide from its magic power and material information.For example, what kind of monsters' magic power was felt in the land, what kind of changes the land had followed, and in the history of these lands, a colorful object appeared as an early object. "

"I see..."

The [Witch's Forest of Creation] became a meadow and forest in the last few decades, and before that, it was a barren land.

Therefore, I was convinced that Wilderness appeared in the information of the early hierarchy of the dungeon.

"Don't get used to anything." Besides, many of the dungeon masters' challenges are to prepare materials for the dungeons to remember.In that regard, the Creation Magic of the Witch Lord easily solves it. ”

I've already made you take in all kinds of materials.

"I made a cup of stuff, and I had more stuff to make in the dungeon!"

When Tete and I said that, the ancient dragon grandfather smiled happily and sneered.

"The concubines were also struggling with their hands at first."In order to create the equipment I wanted, I sent my elves out into the woods to collect materials. "

Ernéa looks distant and remembers the difficulties of running the dungeon.

A dark elf woman with silver hair and brown skin approaches us.

"I've come to pick you up, Lord Ernéa!"You've had enough breathing!Come on, let's go home! "

"Um, Altia... hah, I can't help it."I'll let my concubine go. "

Seeing Altia picked up with Beretta, Ernea reluctantly left quietly.

When I looked at Chirari and Beretta, I bowed my eyes lightly, so I decided that Mr. Ernea had a good breath and called them.

When I came, I could have bent my umbilical cord and sat down right away.

If the Fairy Queen is leaving too, I will leave too.It was a good time.

The ancient dragon grandfather also spread his wings and flew in the direction of the Dragon Demon tribe's settlement, which was his bed.

Having thus deepened my knowledge of the dungeon, I will finally begin to create a hierarchy of dungeons.
