115 Episode 113: Dungeon Tricep Conference
Me and the Marquis were thinking about what to do with the dungeon in the Dragon Cave.
We must hold on to Vernus and win the dungeon competition and get the ingredients of the Holy Sword.
Sit at the table and watch the admin screen. The dragon was sitting next to the table.
one tier, a royal tomb, two tiers, a graveyard, three tiers, a labyrinth (ants and potato worms),
4 tier/labyrinth (egg keys), 5 tier/water labyrinth (ships), 6 tier/labyrinth (plant herbs),
Seven Hierarchies, Dueling Knight, Eight Hierarchies, Labyrinth (Countless Fake Eggs), Nine Hierarchies, Desert (Marquis Planned Place),
Ten tiers, kitchen, eleven tiers, labyrinth (fog), twelve tiers, labyrinth (magma)
Thirteen Hierarchies, Libraries, Fourteen Hierarchies, Labyrinth (King Rat), Fifteen Hierarchies, God of Machinery
Marquis tells his thoughts as he wraps his legs together.
"Hmm. There's a difference in the difficulty of each hierarchy."
"I have a few ideas in mind. The hard part is probably me."
"And then there's the variance and the overall lack of cohesion. You mean you just smashed what you have now? I can't feel the aesthetics without the temperament."
"Uh, that's what I thought, too. You just want a theme."
says the dragon.
"So what am I supposed to do? Unite to water or fire? We don't have time to collect any more themed monsters, do we?
"Attributes aren't the only theme."
The Marquis pointed to the screen.
"These five tiers are ghosts. I didn't expect to die instantly on the ship."
"I thought about it. Behind the psyche. I think we have a good chance of repelling it."
"That's Kaika. Interesting. The pleasure of entertaining people's lives with your own hands... Kuku."
The Marquis had a wicked grin.
The dragon returns to the story.
"But what do we do? What are non-attribute themes?
"You think, for example, you make a dungeon with some kind of story in line with the theme? Or it could be a dungeon mimicking hell."
"Do you theme the inheritance? And what's the purpose of that?
I flashed at the word purpose.
"Seeking immortality! Let us follow the journey of the dead to our purpose. The first level is the tomb of the royal family. Through the second level of the undead graveyard, the next level is the ship. A ship travelling to the land of the dead. After that, hell, the underworld, over thirteen tiers mimicking heaven, etc."
The dragon rounds your eyes.
"Ooh! That's fantastic! There's a sense of unity in the dungeons that seemed bulky!
The Marquis nods deeply.
"Besides, if that's the theme, it's perfect for my life, who manipulates death and creates hell."
"Right? Besides, if you're immortal, you can attract a lot of customers."
The dragon creased between my eyebrows.
"But where it's cleared, I can't have that kind of thing,"
"Why don't we just hire mermaids with a rejuvenating heritage on the fifteen tiers? Of course eating mermaids has no rejuvenating effect, so instead serve the dishes you can only taste here. Tell me this dish is the secret to rejuvenation."
- That way, we can also solve the misunderstandings of the mermaids.
I admire the Marquis.
"You've known mermaids, too"
"Sort of.... Now what kind of journey shall we make? Crossing the river - first the entrance to hell. The fourth tier is the labyrinth of fog, okay?"
"Right. The Magma Labyrinth will be good next in sight of Flame Hell. Next is the Ice Labyrinth in front of Ice Hell. And then I just want to be hungry or sick. I can produce it on my own."
"Dragon, do you think you can make it?
"Hmmm... I can't, though. I need the herbs, the library and the kitchen, so I want to leave it."
"Let's turn the herbs to heaven. Even if it's not a dungeon, it's like a refreshing flower garden,"
"Ooh. That's good. What about the kitchen?
Me and the Marquis frowned at the dragon inquiry.
I said in a bitter voice.
"That's the least thematically appropriate place..."
"Would it be just the gastronomer and the cook? Why don't you let me live in my own hell?
A dragon shakes his neck to the side.
"No, they have a giant freezing chamber, so they need one hierarchy"
"Hmm... a culinary showdown in hell or heaven... something different?
The Marquis twists his neck with his hand on his chin. I reassembled my long legs.
I said.
"I guess we'll have to change the way we fight"
"For example?"
"Examining if you're a man worth going to heaven means making a taste comparison. Let them drink regular or fancy tea and guess which is more fancy. Let cooking and dessert compare in the same way to make it more expensive."
"I see! You're testing the power to see the truth! Then it seems to fit the theme!
The dragon smiles and snorts a lot. I went on.
"That means eggs, kitchen, eggs, in order. Heaven Ahead."
"Why the Egg Labyrinth there?
"A place that connects hell to heaven. Eggs are a new symbol of life. And that means regenerating from death."
"Sounds kind of like it. Is that the kind of inheritance you have?
"No, I just stuck it right now"
The dragon was surprised, and the Marquis laughed with a big mouth open haha. It often resonates in caves with high ceilings.
"That's Kaika! If I make you tell a true lie, there's nothing to go out to the right!
"I'll think you've been praised. So, a library?"
Marquis says as he looks at the screen.
"What is a library, like this library? Why don't you hide the Book of the Dead and borrow it and we'll move on?
"Hmm, that's normal. If it's about going around hell, why don't you show me a book that writes down all the past sins of the challenger and make it read?"
"Let yourself read your sins. Always more. Kaika's a ghost!
The dragon was greatly surprised.
but the Marquis said calmly.
"That would be interesting but technically difficult. I don't know what kind of magic to use."
"I knew it. No, wait. Doesn't anything have to be the whole life?
"What do you mean?
"It's pretty hard just to make him read everything he thought to himself after entering this dungeon. Humans are a crappy delusion at all times."
- And it causes a friendship.
If you can't believe each other at a small party, it's over.
The Marquis laughs as he comes.
"If you let a party member audio-read your cravings and resentments, it's gonna be the best show ever."
"If you're just going to record it all after you get into the dungeon, it's not impossible. So why don't you do it?"
The dragon said so I'll think of a place.
"Is the place good for hell? Because sin is revealed."
"No. Wouldn't heaven be fine? You'd be able to keep track of that longer, wouldn't you?
The Marquis smiles niggardly and evil.
I said as I nodded.
"Thirteen tiers is a decision in the library, then. - Rather, using illusion in a four-tier fog labyrinth to invite you in the phantom of a beautiful woman or a beautiful man, or if the phantom of a party member confesses love, it could be more interesting."
"Ha ha! Kaika is horrible! That's what I want to see!
"I'm listening. This is going to be blushing."
The dragon was distorting the edge of his mouth and grinning bitterly.
"And then there's me. Sounds like a good end to hell."
"Right. As King of Hell, I test the challengers to see if they can get to the next tier."
"Hmm? Aren't you going to kill all the adventurers who came?
"I'd love to have a party or something, but I think we can get here in the army. Marquis' men have weak men and beasts, and there's no escape when it comes to large-scale combat because it's a hierarchy."
"I see... I don't like it when my seniors compel others to kill those who have the right to live and die. Unforgivable."
- The idea of protecting you from others because you own it?
That's the Marquis.
"A common pattern is that people live normally during the day, but at night, horrible shadows sneak in. If we solve that mystery, it's clear, it feels like"
The Marquis has stared at me as Giro.
"You want me to have such a third-rate demon mane in my life?
"So what do we do? It was so boring the last time you showed up like this one."
"Guru...... Huh! Don't tell me."
The Marquis bit his lips and said remorsefully. But you're ashamed you failed, your face was a little red.
I think as I look at the screen.
"I don't know what to do... if you don't fight, it's the most difficult thing to do with the Marquis"
"What would you do as King of Hell...... still a judgment?
When the dragon said, the Marquis laughed with his nose.
"Determine what? Who deserves immortality? Or can we go to heaven, or what? Ridiculous. All humans deserve hell."
"That's it!
I screamed out loud.
The Marquis rounds his eyes.
"What's wrong with all of a sudden screaming?
"I guess the Marquis can also produce vampires if he sucks their opponent's blood, right?
"Mm-hmm. I'd be a low-level vampire, though. - Ha, right!
Only the dragon twists his neck without knowing.
"What's wrong with that?
"Try the adventurer. The Marquis does not fight. But 'further hell awaits just beyond this. More than that, I'll suck your blood and you'll have eternal youth and life, won't you? Only one chance,' he seduces. Those who lose temptation will be sucked of blood, and only those who refuse will move on."
"Hmm... Aren't we all going to say no?
"Normally. But these dungeons have come in search of immortality. My heart will shake. But you can say no."
"Why?
"Just seeing your buddies hang on to the Marquis' words makes you distrust your buddies. And the Egg Labyrinth, where the next tier is livestock difficulty. If your heart is not united, you will die first"
"You're going to bunk up!
"It still was! Kaika's a nasty guy! Kuku."
The Marquis laughed with pleasure.
I went on.
"Then you'd better set a trap that incites distrust in the next hierarchy, even after you let them get you wrong in the library"
"See? In heaven?
"A field of medicinal herbs. Only one gold king rat. Here's what the sign says. Sacrifice the dirtiest sacrifice in gold."
"I see! We hear each other's minds in the library, so don't let anyone with criminal thoughts get killed without question"
"But no sacrifice is specified. Actually, just a little gold statue with mud dumplings."
"You'd be shocked to find out that fallout after you killed him!
said the Marquis.
"That's more or less what you got."
"And then there's the dueling knight. It was ghost armor, and wouldn't it suit you to place it in hell?
"Mm-hmm. Then this is what's gonna happen."
The dragon messed with the screen a lot. Looks like they're consuming DP and switching hierarchies.
Then a dungeon reflecting the previous story appeared on the screen.
one tier, royal tomb, two tiers, graveyard (undead), three tiers, water labyrinth (ship),
4 tiers/labyrinth (fog phantom), 5 tiers/labyrinth (magma), 6 tiers/labyrinth (ice),
Seven tiers and labyrinths (famine sickness), eight tiers and dueling knights, nine tiers and meadows (marquis),
Ten tiers, Labyrinth (Egg Key), Eleven tiers, Kitchen, Twelve tiers, Labyrinth (Egg Countless)
Thirteen tiers and libraries (heart exposure), fourteen tiers and flower gardens (king rats), fifteen tiers and swimming pools (mermaids)
I said satisfactorily.
"The journey of the dead seeking immortality. That's the end of the labyrinth."
"The rest is the fine design of each labyrinth..."
The Marquis answers the words of the dragon.
"It doesn't have to be right now. You can think about it tomorrow or the day after, then bring it with you. How do my men carry more than that? The big move is just remarkable. We might not make it in a week."
"I will summon you using my summons team."
"You could have done that"
When I asked impressively, the dragon skewed the edge of his mouth niggardly.
"Otherwise, no sand whale or dragon zombie bigger than the entrance can be brought in."
"Is that true, too?... Then it's time for me to leave. Let's send the Marquis too."
"Oh, okay. - See you later, Dragon!
"Nice to meet you"
As the Marquis gently widened his bassa cape, he walked out of the wide cave.
- Oh, boy. The dungeon got a point, too.
And then, much more. Oh, mermaids and Luna's brothers. Plus, it's a pavement problem.
I delivered the Marquis and took him off the party.
Then we headed for the outer ship.
