Dungeon House 48
Dungeon House chapter 48
I learned a lot in a short period of time.”
After reading all the reports handed over by the chief secretary and the report on the search for the den of suspicious demons, the director expressed his candid impressions.
External collaborator Hyun Bok, they invest
The dungeon explorers guild that I grew up with. It was really a coincidence that they attacked the den of the dark devil at the same time.
In the first place, the administration did not have the authority to participate in the dungeon searcher’s dungeon assignment. To the last, once it was decided which dungeon the dungeon explorers and guilds would attack, they could only know it.
However, he found out that the guild he supported was assigned to a D-class dungeon, and found out that Hyeonbok was in the same dungeon.
Although a minus is attached to the grade, D grade is still D grade. And the operating bureau was an organization that had to minimize the damage that occurred during the attack.
It was Kang Hye-mi, the middle manager, who moved in haste. As an intermediary officer and the fencer of Hyeon-bok, she had the authority to make a preliminary decision.
Once, she contacted Hyeon-bok and made a request, but it was rejected.
But it was good for her.
If Hyeonbok had accepted the request and informed the guild about Hyeonbok’s request, as Hyeonbok said, the guild would have had distrust of the operating country.
Although that didn’t happen, what she was about to do was reported to her superiors, the Director General. And he had to be reprimanded for it.
“As well as rejecting the request and giving advice, looking at the contents of this report that was sent in return for the next request, it seems that he is thinking of getting along well with us. Isn’t it?”
“The analysis team is also judging that. But that’s why I’ve come to the conclusion that scouting is even more unreasonable.
I am leaning.”
“why?”
“We are building trust with each other by treating each other in a consistent way in accepting or not accepting orders, but we do not compromise on the price negotiation. They say they want to keep this relationship for a long time.”
“I mean, you want to maintain a business relationship of giving and receiving orders. Wouldn’t it be nice to be more tidy?”
“Obviously that’s good too, but he’s also a top prospect on the prospects list. There is nothing better than that if you are definitely on our side.”
“But he doesn’t want that. If you keep trying to get him in, you’ll definitely run into trouble, and in the worst case, you’ll be hostile. In that case, I would rather have a business relationship like the one we have now.
“… … I knew. I will make sure to report it to Kang Hye-mi.”
“okay. and this information. I’ll process it a bit and send it to the guild.”
“I knew.”
After the chief secretary left, he inhaled the cigarette he was holding in his mouth at once and exhaled the smoke. Then he took a new cigarette and said quietly.
“Please, keep the damage to a minimum. Because I really hate to lose.”
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! Kya.] Ah!
The weapons of the Skeleton Knights and Warriors pierced the trap spider’s stomach, which had been attacking from the ceiling. The trap spider screamed and ran wild, spraying blood everywhere.
The blood on the equipment of the Skeleton Knights and Warriors created bubbles and damaged the equipment. The weapon that had already been embedded in the body was severely damaged.
“Like slimes, the monsters from this dungeon specialize in surprise attacks and weapon destruction.”
In addition to the slime and the previously dealt trap spider, I met several monsters. All monsters were poisonous.
First appearing with the Great Bat
So did Blood Bat.
The Great Bat, as the name suggests, looks like a very huge bat. Besides the claws and teeth attacks, they attack with ultrasonic waves that cannot be recognized by the ears. It would have been dangerous if they had been attacked in the meantime, but Chris and Castle. In Kai’s case, he was not affected by the undead ultrasound, so the great bat wasn’t a big deal.
However, the blood bat was a problem.
In fact, these guys were weak enough to kill me with a swing of a staff. But the blood of these guys was terribly toxic. In addition to the acid enough to damage the equipment, the smell of blood even caused mild hallucinations.
In addition, these guys were a troublesome opponent in many ways because they were numerous and attacked together in pairs with great bats.
Next, cave trolls and cave goblins, as their names suggest, are those who have adapted to the cave environment. Instead of degenerating eyes, they developed other senses and attacked from all sides by climbing walls or stalagmites on the ceiling. Even the cave trolls reaching 3m were the same.
In addition, cave trolls have more powerful physical abilities and excellent regenerative power, as their names have trolls, so it was a pain to deal with.
Looking at all the monsters from that side, it was never easy. It could also be called a D-class dungeon.
Of course, all of this was a problem for a typical dungeon explorer.
I have Chris, Castle, and Kai, who are undead, and I have summoned Undead. Undead are not limited by sight in the first place. Their weapon is a natural weapon that is created with summoning.
Even if it is damaged, it can be restored by summoning anew or using auxiliary magic. Dokdo and hallucinations do not work for dead beings there.
[We just need to be careful of surprise attacks.]
[I feel sorry for the other dungeon explorers.]
[Good. Trap Spider’s poison bag. This dungeon is really good for extra income.]
Chris said happily as he picked up the poison sac left behind by the Trap Spider’s body. As Chris said, in this dungeon, there were a lot of side effects of monsters.
In the previous dungeon, even if you hunt 30 to 50 animals, you might get an accessory. However, here, at least 5 and at most 10, they left one by-product. And Chris liked it the most.
[Trap Spider’s poison bag can be used as a medium for Necromancy’s poison and curse magic. If processed, it can become a medium for enchantment magic, and you could buy it for 20 gold each over there. Whoops.]
Chris kindly told me the converted price as well. It felt really good.
[now! When the recovery is over, let’s keep going!]
At the prompting of the castle, we started moving again. Although we were attacked countless times on the way, only the summoned undead took damage, and we were able to escape the cave without taking any damage.
[It’s flat. And isn’t that a barrier?]
“And walls and caves? It looks like a pain in the butt.”
[Let’s go to that fence first.]
At Kai’s words, we were wary of our surroundings and proceeded towards the barrier seen in the distance. As we got closer, we were able to discover what the barrier was enclosing.
It was a village. As it was originally used, it existed to protect the village.
There were a total of four entrances to Maol. And there were several watchtowers behind the barrier. Once we entered the village.
It was quiet. Although it was a place where people could live, there was nothing like the soul of a human being. The houses were all empty, and there were no signs of people wandering on the streets.
Instead, there were everything else. Daily necessities such as cooking knives, chopping boards, and tableware were provided, as well as beds and blankets. There was even a well in the center of the village.
“A village with no one surrounded by fences
Ira.”
[I went to a high place and looked around, and there are 12 caves around this town.]
[It seems to me that this dungeon was created with the intention of using this as a base and exploring the surrounding caves.]
I had the same thoughts as Kai. Although the surrounding area is plain, the village was surrounded by a solid fence, so it was enough to use it as a base. In other words, when monsters pour out of the cave, dungeon seekers have no choice but to fight here.
[Owner, other dungeon explorers are approaching. It’s completely filthy, isn’t it? There are many injured. What would you do?]
Let’s go meet him.”
There was no reason or need to hide. As I walked out of the barrier, I saw a group of dungeon explorers whose equipment had melted or had become useless as the castle said.
They found me and started to warn me. But it was not just a simple vigilance. He showed me hostility and even murder.
“Who are you?”
“Are you halfway through from the first meeting? Well, can I help you anyway? It looks like everyone is addicted. In particular, it seems like some people will die if they don’t detoxify it quickly.”
I decided to do my best first. Of course, I’m willing to pay the price.
“Can you decipher it?”
蛰 I said it because I could. We will bill you later.”
I went to all the seemingly addicted people, and I used detox spells with Chris.
Among the magic of the Necromancy School, there is also magic that deals with poison. So, of course, detox magic existed. Of course, there are poisons that cannot be detoxified even with detox magic, but the poison of Trap Spider and Bloodbat was poison that could be detoxified even with magic.
After detoxifying the poison, he also gave a simple treatment with healing magic. As soon as the treatment was over, I threw the business card I was preparing to the first person who spoke to me.
“Originally, it was supposed to be done after receiving it in advance, but it seemed a bit urgent, so I am paying in a special post-payment. Detox and treatment costs are included, so you will only receive 10 million won, so please deposit it immediately.”
“… … I get it.”
The killing and hostility had subsided thanks to the treatment of my colleagues, but they still kept a watch on me.
“Let’s go over there.”
“What is that?”
“It has everything there is, but it is a town without people.”
“what?”
“It is literally. When I arrived first, I checked and found that there were everything such as daily necessities, food, medical supplies, and weapons, but there was no one there. And from this base, there are 12 caves, including the one you and I came from.”
“Is it defense and exploration of strongholds and caves?”
He said right in my explanation. It was natural for anyone with a certain amount of brain to think about it.
I went to the village without saying anything, and the person I was talking to followed along with my colleagues. Having entered the village, they returned to their home with their wounded comrades.
We searched the village again to finish the search we had done earlier. However, I couldn’t find anything special or something to be aware of.
While wandering around the town for a while, no other dungeon explorers came. After consulting with Chris and installing magic items for surveillance in various parts of town, we also went back home.
After returning home, I went to the dungeon site and searched for an article about the den of suspicious demons that I was attacking this time. I was able to find some articles without difficulty.
Whether it was written by a dungeon explorer we met, there were also articles mentioning me. And there were comments written by those who came to attack the same dungeon this time as us.
Unlike us or the guild to which the person who wrote this article belonged, most of them didn’t seem to even enter the dungeon yet.
The comments were asking about this and that. The writers have released what they know one after another whether they have no intention of hiding the information. Afterwards, it was to the extent of putting it all together and posting a new article.
Time continued to pass, and after that, every five days, I went to the village surrounded by barriers, but the other dungeon explorers were nowhere to be seen.
“It doesn’t matter if we don’t meet anyway.”
We explored other caves besides the cave we first came up with. The monsters that appeared in the cave were the same as the cave we passed through. So there was no difficulty at all to deal with.
I went back and forth between the dungeon and the house, exploring the cave one after another.
When I got home, I went to the dungeon site and checked the articles about the den of suspicious demons. As time passed, there were posts saying that they had arrived one after another in a village surrounded by wooden books, the base.
So, on the 30th day after the start of the dungeon attack, the long-awaited article was finally posted.
[Let’s meet and talk to everyone to attack the dungeon.]
“It will take a long time.”
[That’s it.]
The post asking to gather to attack the dungeon of the den of doubt has only just been posted. Through the comments on the article, discussions about the date and time of the gathering began to take place, and after a while the time was decided.
The meeting date was 3 days later, 刈 in the afternoon.
% is three days.”
[master. Let’s hurry up the work.]
“okay.”
Considering the difficulty and concept of this dungeon, we decided to do everything we could. It was natural for a wizard to know what was going to happen.
In addition to the preparations, even two bodies would be insufficient to produce the items that are normally sold without any setbacks. So, I have already written an apology for the temporary suspension of sales of goods and delays in delivery due to the dungeon attack and a notice for compensation.
He was only concentrating on preparing for the dungeon attack. Many of the preparations were completed, but some of the magical items produced for preparation had not been completed yet, so we had to hurry a little more.
I pushed through the production a bit, and fortunately was able to find time to rest the day before.
The day the dungeon explorers finally decided to gather. We headed to the dungeon a little earlier than the promised time.
[D-Class Named Dungeon. Den of Doubts.
717 days remain until the attack fails. The current number of employees is 289.
The 33rd day of starting the Kim Hyun-bok dungeon attack. Arrive at the dungeon safety point.]
