Dungeon House 75
Dungeon House chapter 75
[I sent it a while ago. With this, the relationship with the Vatican has been completely settled.]
“You’ve been through a lot. Richard.”
[Mousse of hardship, how much have we benefited thanks to you. If there’s a chance later, I’ll let you take another step.]
“I knew.”
After finishing the conversation with Richard, I headed straight out the door of the base. There were many metal ingots piled up there. It was exactly what the Vatican had received in return to clear up the relationship.
Richard played a mediating role in negotiations with the Vatican. Thanks to this, I was able to obtain more silver and iron ingots than I expected.
It weighs 5 tons of silver ingot and 18 tons of iron ingot.
This was no less than the ransom of the knights of the Church who had attained enlightenment. Of course, the positive efforts of the United States and Richard cannot be ignored.
I heard from Richard that, instead of providing 80% of the silver ingots and the entire amount of iron ingots from the US, they decided to fortify the silver and iron ingots offered by the US just like the ones I received. I don’t know how much that amount is though.
Of course, I became the first to receive. However, since the amount of sheep is sheep, we decided to divide it into 5 deliveries, and this time it was only the fifth time.
It used the courier function, one of the functions of the dungeon site, and there was no problem in receiving the metal ingots despite the huge amount.
“Move it inside.”
The clay golems who followed me began to move the monsters to the workshop at my command.
I headed to the workshop one step ahead.
Follow the land! Earth!
There the sound of steel hitting steel resounded. Needless to say, it was an iron golem. His huge arms, legs, and body boasted majesty.
“How is the progress?”
[…] … It’s going well.]
The person wearing full body armor and beating the hammer was none other than Wonryeong. To be precise, it was the living armor, the Mononoke who had a body made of metal.
In addition to this living armor, 15 living armors are producing the things I need, including the body of an iron golem by tapping the iron.
Needless to say, they are beings that were originally primal spirits. It was one of the rewards I got in America.
In the United States, there were many monarchs. I used the dungeon app to test the primal talents. As I confirmed the talents of the three people who were skeletons before, I thought that Mononoke would be possible, and it was as I expected.
And among them, demons with useful talents were brought as if they were collecting them, and some of them were taken away from their powers and removed or transferred to the United States for research purposes.
All of the living armor spirits who are currently knocking on iron were those who had talents related to handling metals from D to C. I taught them modern technology and how to handle metal on this side of the idea.
As much as he lived his life while making use of his talents, he learned the technique of bergue, and recently he has been producing works that can be used to some extent.
“New materials have arrived. Handle it with care.”
[…] … Yes.]
Wonryong, the general, nodded his head at my words and started working again.
All spirits had strong ego. So instead of controlling them, they had to pay the price.
It was simple what the ghosts who had existed for hundreds of years in a state of sparse mana wanted.
They were things like revenge or regrets from life.
Some wanted to take care of their descendants, while others wanted the death of the immediate blood relatives of those who killed them in their lifetime.
It can be suppressed by force, but in that case, the ego is also suppressed, so it cannot be used properly. I am forced to mostly
accepted the proposal. Of course, I did very little. Most of the work has been left to the US government.
Anyway, I paid the price, and now I am in control of the ghosts. The demons who could not pay the price were suppressed by force, making them only do simple tasks. Even if Izzy was suppressed, he was able to do that.
After seeing the progress in the workshop, I headed to the arsenal in the basement. It was literally an arsenal.
Starting with anti-personnel weapons, it was a place full of high-fidelity firearms including missiles. Needless to say, these are the things that the United States has received in return for their previous work.
There were two reasons for receiving these weapons.
The first was to arm the undead in case they faced a monster outside the dungeon.
The world has changed, and it is constantly changing even today. However, once the enemy’s attack begins in earnest, it will change so rapidly that it cannot be compared with the past.
In such a world, monsters will spread all over the world, and you have to risk your life to fight not only inside the dungeon but also outside the dungeon.
I chose modern firearms as a way to enhance my power. It was the simplest and easiest way.
In return for helping the United States for that purpose, it received a significant amount of modern firearms possessed by the United States.
In addition to the blueprints for modern firearms, we also received blueprints for weapons made with materials from magic and dungeons that are currently being developed in the United States.
This is for the second reason. A weapon is a tool. The strength of the tool is that anyone can use it. I brought the blueprint to mass-produce ‘tools’ that could be used on the battlefield.
What we have to do is war. War is not done alone. Due to the existence of mana, those who can wield power alone per day, even more than a thousand or more were born, but the violence of numbers in war cannot or should not be ignored. That’s why I asked for a blueprint.
Since then, he has worked hard to develop a new weapon by analyzing it with the enchantment wizard Chris. Instead, he regularly exchanges research results with the United States. Because of this mutual agreement, the United States was also willing to hand over secret weapons and blueprints. In the long run, it will eventually lead to their own interests. I, too, have made the choice to cooperate with them for the future.
A wizard is one who prepares, because he can only survive by winning the war that will unfold in the future.
“Are you here?”
“how?”
“There is not much progress. Still, mana efficiency, power increase, and production cost reduction are being made little by little.”
“That’s good. Then keep working hard I will come to help later.”
“Yes.”
After that conversation, I left the arsenal.
The next destination was the printing house. It is literally the place where a large number of printing presses are located. The places that were being printed there were spell cards and scrolls for sale.
One of the rewards he received for cooperating with the United States was mana stones.
The ranks are the lowest, but in return they were paid a considerable amount. There were only 500 of the lowest mana stones. Currently, the lowest price of mana stones in the dungeon site is 50 million won each, that is, 25 billion worth of mana stones have been received.
In return, I handed over the recipe for making genuine spell cards and scrolls. After all, these were things that the United States would naturally learn as time passed. It was as if he was giving him help as if he had taken 500 of the lowest mana stones from the United States.
Thanks to that, he was making huge profits by mass-producing spell cards and magic scrolls with mana stones.
The spell cards and magic scrolls I sell were still being sold. But it won’t be sold just for creditworthiness. Needless to say now, it was because everyone was feeling it.
that the moment of upheaval will come soon
full-scale invasion.
Dungeon explorers and government officials were feeling anxious about the ever-changing world, and they were buying spell cards and magic scrolls to alleviate that anxiety.
The general public who is unaware of aggression is also unconsciously feeling anxious. That means the upheaval is not far away.
The money I earned thanks to people’s anxiety was used to buy mana stones again. Most of them were exhausted to purchase mana stones of higher grades than the lowest, and lower and intermediate mana stones. And by using them, he was concentrating on making magic items and making golem hearts to enhance his power.
In fact, I was also feeling anxious. That is why they are moving to secure even a little more power.
Still, the anxiety did not go away.
“So, you have to be more prepared.”
Spell cards and magic scrolls piled up one after another on the printing press, and a skeleton mage that activates them.
After watching the process for a while, he headed to the arsenal to help Chris.
I am preparing for the worst, but the worst situation I think is the worst, and more may happen. I don’t know what the world will be like.
“Oh God. Please avoid the worst.”
Heading to the arsenal, I prayed to an unbelieving god.
Literally please don’t let the worst happen… … .
Knowing that God really exists, there was no reason not to pray.
The world is changing. However, there were only a few people who actually recognized the change and acted accordingly.
The very few prepared for a cataclysmic cataclysm that was to come more than now, by all means they could mobilize.
As they felt that the time of the cataclysm was not far away, their impatience grew day by day.
Of course, there were also dungeon explorers among them.
At some point they could no longer go to the dungeon. The front door of the stronghold they lived in was no longer connected to the dungeon. No new quests were created. And even though I didn’t go to the dungeon for a long time, my level and stats didn’t go down.
Dungeon explorers all understood what that meant.
The change in the world and the chaos that arises from that change gave them time to rest and prepare at the same time.
They tensed up and began to prepare for a moment of upheaval.
The magic scrolls that were newly sold, and the spell cards that were being sold in large quantities at a reduced price were purchased as much as possible. There were those who bought magic equipment to upgrade their equipment, and even bought modern weapons to prepare for battle outside the dungeon.
So everyone kept their anxiety and tension, waiting for the world to change.
However, as no one knew when the change would begin, the tension slowly began to abate over time.
But even their leaders didn’t say anything about it. Keeping tension going is very tiring. That’s why I didn’t pay much attention to it, except in cases where I became overly lax.
Time went on and on.
And on December 31, when the New Year just arrived, the tension reached its peak.
A cataclysm that begins with the new year.
It may happen when the new year dawns.
Everyone was nervous because they thought the rumors were true, but nothing happened even when the new year dawned.
The heads of each group and analysts grabbed their heads and panicked. It was virtually impossible to predict when the cataclysm would start any longer.
So time went on and on.
“Damn it! It’s the first day of the new year, and you’re late!”
The man was anxiously waiting for the taxi to arrive.
His house was a big one. Thanks to the relatives who flocked over the holidays, my life balance was disrupted and I couldn’t sleep for a few days.
The current time is past 9 o’clock. It’s completely sensible. Although the contact had already been completed, the boss’s anger through the speaker was never weak.
“I really hate going to work.”
As he sighed, he suddenly realized the present time and looked up at the sky.
“It’s strange.”
The current time is past 9 am. But the surroundings were as dark as night. No matter how late the sun rises in winter, it is certainly strange.
After a while, the taxi he called came, and he got into the taxi, took out his cell phone, and searched the Internet. And I realized that this darkness was not a simple matter.
He learned that the sun did not rise in his own country as well as in other countries, in a country belonging to the time zone where the sun should originally rise.
Good profit!
That was then. The taxi suddenly hit the brakes. The reason was that the car in front had come to a sudden stop. The taxi driver opened the door in anger that hit his head in an instant, got off, and tried to argue with the car in front.
one couldn’t As I was about to get off, something fell on the bonnet of the taxi.
“What, what!”
The taxi driver was perplexed. Soon his complexion turned pale. It was because I checked what had fallen on the bonnet.
It was a person.
To be precise, part of what was a person
it was
“Aww!”
The taxi driver screamed. It was the same with the man in the taxi. But unlike a taxi driver, he saw and heard more.
Screams from outside the taxi and people running away. And the monsters that chase it
Kroor.
One of them, a green monster orc with a large nose and an adult size, stopped running and met the man in the taxi.
Aaaaaaah! Boo-woong!
“Aww!”
The orc howled with hatred and murderous intent, and the man screamed in fear and confusion.
Change is always sudden. Thus, the ‘Four Days of Seven Hooks’, which are called catastrophes and catastrophes for mankind, have begun.
