Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

34 – I declared surrender at her appearance

Someone was walking inside the dungeon.

His face was similar to that of a toad, but he had an appearance that no one could call human.

His name is Gulon.

He was currently a manager belonging to the audit team of the Demon World Chamber of Commerce.

As his position was a position, he had guards on both sides, and skeleton knights surrounded him.

From noble mtl dot com

The number alone was twenty.

“hehehe.”

What kind of person would receive such luxurious escort?

The Skeleton Knight is none other than a 3-star monster.

Of course, overall, it is not a very high grade. Even so, he wasn’t at a level where he could be passed over anywhere, so he could be called a luxury if he was an escort at this level.

Of course, this was a consideration given by the Chamber of Commerce because he was a member of the audit team.

Gulon looked around the inside of the dungeon with a satisfied expression.

‘The inside of the dungeon is just so-so.’

It had a rough appearance without any sense of sophistication.

“Hmm.”

Gulon did not evaluate the entire dungeon because of its rough appearance.

What kind of place is this?

Isn’t this the place that helped Moru, who had no performance at all, transform into the best performance within the company?

It meant that there was a lot of transaction volume, and in other words, it also meant that the owner of this dungeon had so much money that he could rot.

That’s why Gulon visited this dungeon.

Of course, there was a separate person in charge of the transaction.

One of the rules of the Chamber of Commerce is not to change the person in charge without permission, so no matter how much the audit team was, they had no authority to break it.

Gulon was not interested in such things, and he came here because he had other business.

As I walked along the road, escorted by a skeleton knight, three paths soon appeared.

“… “It’s big.”

From what I checked, it was said that the dungeon was created not long ago.

Looking at the transaction records, I saw that there was a dungeon expansion project through the trading company, but is it possible to expand this significantly just by doing so?

In Gulon’s opinion, it was close to an impossible story.

“Do you really have the ability?”

New dungeons often give the lowest credit scores.

It was a big risk for the merchants because they didn’t know when they might be subjugated by an external attack and there were many variables.

But now, although this was a new dungeon, it was a dungeon that was attracting attention within the company.

The company is paying attention, so it would be right to show this level of ability.

As I stopped for a moment in front of the three-way intersection, someone walked out from the road on the right.

“I was waiting. “My name is Celia, and I am in charge of managing the dungeon.”

Gulon looked at the person greeting him first.

She was a person of great beauty and dignity. Her clothes also made her look more elegant.

She was distracted for a moment by such an appearance, but then she came to her senses.

“Oh, this was rude. “My name is ‘Manager’ Gulon and I am a member of the audit team of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.”

Gulon deliberately gave strength to the word exaggeration.

It was an action to take the lead in the so-called conversation with the other person.

“Nice to meet you. Chief Gulon. “I will take you this way.”

Celia just smiled at her without any change and guided Gulon down the path to her right.

Gulon thought as he followed her.

‘Why did you disappear?’

She felt no energy from her.

This can usually be seen as two cases: one is that the opponent is of a high level that one cannot detect, or there are cases in which the opponent intentionally hides his/her energy using skills or artifacts.

‘Probably the latter.’

If the level was so high that one couldn’t recognize it, it would have to be at least 5 stars, but no matter how elegant it looked, it didn’t seem to be at that level.

‘Then you hid it on purpose.’

What could be the reason for hiding it on purpose?

Sometimes there were people like that.

A type of person who is reluctant to reveal his or her origins to the Demon World Chamber of Commerce.

In short, it was a tactic that showed the intention not to go in with a burden.

‘Actually, this place isn’t a big deal either.’

Maybe he was lucky enough to catch a wealthy adventurer and made a lot of money.

Many guesses went through his mind, but Gulon silently followed Celia without changing his expression.

The first place we came to was a field.

There were green grass and flowers and butterflies flying around.

They were all monsters, not ordinary creatures.

‘The grade is lower than I thought.’

Even if it was low, it was too low.

It looked like a dungeon that even adventurers with a little bit of experience could easily crack.

‘I’ll have to report it to the superior when I get back.’

If it was at this level, there seemed to be no need to pay attention.

Gulon thought so and moved to the next location.

There was a large lake there.

Goblins were seen floating near the lakeside.

Gulon kept rolling his head as he watched this scene.

‘It looks like goblins are stationed elsewhere.’

I learned new facts, but I didn’t see anything worth worrying about yet.

We went around the lake and moved to the next location.

We finally arrived at the center of the dungeon.

Gulon first looked at the location of the core, which could be called the heart of the dungeon.

The level of the dungeon can be seen depending on how it is managed.

‘Security is pretty good.’

It looked like troops were deployed around the nucleus.

Although it is hard to tell who they are as they are wrapped in large robes, they at least seem to care about security.

“Oh… “Is that a human?”

And another appearance.

I could see a human woman beyond the iron bars, and she looked like she had a full stomach.

“This is the end of those who dared to come here without fear.”

Celia answered, still smiling.

In response to her response, Gulon raised his evaluation of the dungeon ever so slightly.

A dungeon could only be called a dungeon if it had this kind of ambition.

After passing the prison, a facility caught Gulon’s eye.

I don’t know what that space was for, but several skeleton knights were guarding it.

‘Huh….’

Anyone could see that it was an unusual space.

The skeleton knights placed there seemed to be the dungeon’s strength.

It was clear that it was a space comparable to protecting nuclear weapons.

Gulon remembered this fact in his mind and was still moving his steps.

Soon we reached the end of the center.

There was a chair decorated with jewels, and it looked like the seat where the dungeon owner would sit.

Throne.

“So, can I find out where the dungeon owner is?”

Gulon looked around.

No matter how you look at it, there was no one who could be called the owner of the dungeon.

“Oh, the master is not there right now. Don’t worry though. “I have been given full authority by my master, so you can speak to me.”

Gulon briefly questioned Celia’s words, but she soon came to a conclusion.

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s clear that this person is the owner.’

What kind of owner would abandon the dungeon and leave?

They even informed me that it was coming from the merchant association.

This is nothing more than propaganda.

“Is that so?”

However, Gulon was not an underdog to the point where he spoke openly about his true feelings.

“Then the story will be quick. “The reason I came here was to make one thing clear.”

Gulon also smiled at Celia and clapped once.

Party-

Then, the two skeleton knights who were standing as guards came out dragging something.

There was one person there stained with blood.

Jewel was the boss of merchant Moru.

But Jewell was looking terrible.

Her eyes had been sewn up with thread, and red blood was dripping from the stitches onto the floor.

Is that all?

Her mouth, like her eyes, was sewn shut and could not be opened.

At least she was able to breathe through the gaps where her stitches slightly opened.

Her throat was sore from the pharynx, she could not even hear a groan, and her ears were clogged with something unknown.

Currently, she cannot see, hear, or speak.

She was, in a word, deprived of all her freedom.

Gulon took a look at Jewell and then turned her head towards Celia.

At the same time, his greedy neck flesh was shaking.

“How are you? Yesterday, one of the employees of our company was very rude to you. “I hope you see this as the minimum sincerity towards him.”

Gulon bowed.

It was a courtesy to the dungeon that had recently increased the sales of the company, and at the same time, it was the final act of someone who wanted to frame such a dungeon.

“This person is no longer related to the Sanghoe. Please be the owner of the dungeon… No, Celia, do whatever you want. In any case, it would be a good idea to use it to breed monsters like that human girl. Clue.”

Gulon laughed like a devil.

The intention was also to suppress the momentum of the Demon World Company by showing the opponent the cruel side.

But in reality, Celia was surprised in a different sense.

‘Only in that way can it be called punishment.’

Until now, I had been too lazy.

Celia thought that from next time, that kind of punishment should be given to those who ignore their master.

When Celia said nothing, Gulon grinned and continued her story.

“Of course, this is not the end of our company. “We will provide discounts and special treatment in future transactions.”

Gulon took out a card from his pocket.

He had a different appearance from the existing black cards.

There was a golden star drawn on a white card.

It was the so-called ‘white card’ representing the VIP of the Demon World Chamber of Commerce.

The more stars there were, the higher the grade was, but even just one was very meaningful.

The White Card was not a card issued to just anyone.

It was not just a card, as those who owned this card not only received special treatment at the Chamber of Commerce, but also had the right to attend special auctions.

So, a white card is given to a dungeon that has just opened?

Just by looking at this, you can see how much attention the Chamber of Commerce and Industry is paying.

Of course, Celia also had some experience managing dungeons in the past, so she didn’t know anything.

Celia paused for a moment. She is an incubus who has invaded the dungeon herself.

She also knew that Jewell was behind it, and she planned to punish her sooner or later.

However, the merchant association found out and already took action against her.

Celia: From her perspective, such a business was unpleasant, but since she was someone who would work for her master someday anyway, she decided to overlook it leniently.

“I see. “If this is how the merchants come out, it’s hard to refuse.”

Celia picked up the card given by Gulon.

“Now that I think about it, the owners of the nearby dungeon are planning to have a banquet this evening. Celia, how about you attend as well?”

Gulon hinted and raised his hand.

“Oh, don’t misunderstand. Since the master is not present at the moment, I just told Celia.”

“Thank you for the good information.”

“What is this? Our company is always sincere. Then I hope to see you again someday….”

Celia thanked him, and with those words, Gulon left the dungeon.

As Celia pondered what to do with Jewell, who was lying on the floor, she soon thought over what Gulon had said.

“It’s a banquet…” .”

This time, restrictions have been lifted once more.

The range within which they can go out of the dungeon has further increased.

It will be possible to conquer dungeons that are further away than before.

Celia thought she was doing some preliminary research before conquering the purpose of the banquet.

* · * *

“Chwiik, I would like to express my gratitude to those who attended this banquet….”

The orc who was speaking stopped.

Then he rubbed his eyes and carefully opened them again.

“Chwiik?”

It’s strange.

It was a banquet to build friendship with people in the same situation.

It was clearly such a banquet, but a being of a different class from them appeared.

“Uh….”

The orc was embarrassed and stuttered his words.

“Ha, I will surrender.”

Starting with the orc’s words, everyone present at the banquet declared surrender upon Celia’s appearance.
