Chapter 251 – So When Will We Go Down to the Labyrinth? (2)
The number of people entering and exiting the Infinite Labyrinth is large on weekdays and small on weekends.
This is because, as it became possible to secure regular income through adventurer activities, the number of adventurers who worked as ordinary administrators increased.
Moreover, considering that the miners who belong to some union or another and dig up magic stones in the Infinite Labyrinth, or even those who work as porters within the Infinite Labyrinth, work on weekdays and take physical rest on the weekends, it was natural that there were relatively few people on the weekends.
Until now.
“We’ll catch the succubus too!”
“Hush, listen at Fermaten! Be careful!”
“We will catch the siren!”
“The people of Fermaton are listening!”
The Infinite Labyrinth was crowded with men who were suspiciously excited.
Moreover, they had no interest in monsters such as goblins or orcs, and were only interested in succubi and sirens.
As a result, the demonic beasts of the infinite labyrinth began to make strategic moves against the suddenly increased number of ‘captors’.
-They say that demonic beasts and demonic beasts are linked!
-The goblins laid a trap near where the naked succubus was!
What was mainly seen was the connection between the succubus and other magical beasts.
There were cases where a succubus brainwashed or controlled orcs with sex magic to use them as meat shields against humans, or there were cases where the succubus linked up with goblins and captured humans, then the succubus ate the man’s spirit and the goblins disposed of the man’s body.
No matter how much the succubi outside of Permaten Castle infiltrated deep into everyday life, they were ‘controllable demons’.
The succubi of the Infinite Labyrinth are qualitatively different from the succubi of Permaton.
Everyone had forgotten.
The succubi that could be raped as much as they wanted for 5 luge coins every day were vicious and scary monsters under the labyrinth.
And the moment they realized that the monsters were gradually evolving their response system to deal with kidnapping and capture by humans, the adventurers couldn’t help but resent the Permaton.
-I understand that thanks to Rouge Permaten, I can have sex with a succubus at a low price.
-However, the Infinite Labyrinth has become more dangerous and it has become very difficult to farm magic stones.
-In the midst of all this, all I can think about what kind of woman Rouge Permaten will have sex with, and I’m so frustrated that I’m speechless. Phew.
The Infinite Labyrinth has become more difficult because of Luge Permaten!
The adventurers sent their slowly growing dissatisfaction to the guild leader.
Since he was the head of the adventurer guild, the guild leader was someone who had to work for the safety and welfare of adventurers.
By the way.
“Hey. Did you hear that rumor? They said the adventurer guild leader is quitting the guild?”
“Bernhard, guild leader? No, why?”
Guild leader Bernhardt, who should proudly carry his bow and urge Rouge Permaten to find a solution to the current situation, said he would quit the adventurer’s guild.
Rumors abound, the person involved does not appear, the succubus becomes more difficult to capture every day, and the number of people killed by the succubus increases.
“No, really, what is this supposed to do?”
None of the adventurers knew.
It is the prelude to a large-scale revenge plot waged by Rouge Permaten against the adventurers who turned a blind eye to the war against the County of Sirzosiya and watched the war unfold beyond the castle walls.
Dissolution of the Adventurer’s Guild.
And the new appearance of the Adventurer’s Guild, or rather the ‘Knights’, run by the County of Fermaten itself.
No one knew that Bernhard had been designated as the leader of the knights.
Because other than the parties involved, only two people in Permaten Castle knew about it.
* * *
“We have decided to disband the Adventurer’s Guild.”
I arranged a time to talk alone with Bernhard, the head of the Adventurer’s Guild, in a soundproofed office with only Laura present.
“Have you decided?”
This white-haired old man, Bernhard, wearing an ordinary adventurer’s outfit and a boxer’s coat, swallowed the wine in front of him with his eyes shining.
“Is Fermaten finally taking the first step toward grandeur?”
“It already started when I cut my hair and had a new mindset. It was the first time I was washing away the ills of Fermaten in earnest.”
“Where did you get your confidence? A large number of succubi?”
“When the only adventurer willing to help me fight the war was Sir Bernhard.”
Even a common wizard could have offered support, saying he would fire magic from the rear, but among the adventurers, only one volunteered, Bernhard.
“The most important thing for adventurers is their own safety and assets. If they take a little risk, they can enjoy wealth, so everyone has become an adventurer and conquered the infinite labyrinth.”
Because it makes money.
As long as you have safe equipment and skilled abilities, you can regularly secure a lot of money as an adventurer in the infinite labyrinth.
Romance with colleagues?
Solving problems for someone when they encounter difficulties?
Friendship and love sprouting between adventurers?
It’s all nonsense.
Adventurers are selfish beings who only care about themselves.
“Until now, adventurers have been regularly raiding the Fermaten Infinite Labyrinth, so-called ‘farming’ the remains of magic stones and monsters. Their hard work was obviously great, and it was all the adventurers’ hard work that has now conquered the 50th underground floor. That’s it. I admit it.”
Their achievements will not be forgotten.
“But now it’s time for them to face the uncomfortable truth.”
“What is the inconvenient truth, Count?”
“The word ‘Fermaton’ is added to the front of the Infinite Labyrinth.”
The official name is Permaten Infinite Labyrinth, and there was a time when it was called the Underground Dungeon of the Old Count Permaten Castle.
“Until now, adventurers have collected fees as taxes after visiting the Infinite Labyrinth, but now we plan to operate the Infinite Labyrinth in a completely different way.”
“Is that blueprint the ‘Adventurer’s Knight’s Boots’?”
“Okay.”
I took out the drawing materials I had prepared in advance.
“There are currently two knights’ orders in Fermaten. One is Lambert’s ‘Knights of the Javelin’. Among those who have worked in Fermaten for a long time, they are now filtered out and follow Knight Lambert as their leader.”
“Aren’t they…” ” “A knighthood made up only of men?”
“That’s right. That’s right.”
“There is probably at least one female knight.”
“Because it’s Lambert’s Knights.”
It’s not that there are no female knights in the territory.
For some reason, the knights led by Lambert are the only men.
“Their skills are trustworthy. As you have seen.”
“I don’t doubt Sir Lambert’s skills. I’m just worried about something else about him.”
“Lord Lambert promised, so rest assured.”
If he points his spear towards me, Lambert’s Knights of the Javelin will immediately cease to exist in Fermaten.
“I have filled Permaten with my people. He said It is not only the Count of Permaten. I have changed the people inside Permaten, and I have also made the citizens outside Permaten on my side. I have formed a community with myself within this castle of Permaten. If there are people I dislike the most, it’s definitely the adventurers.”
“What do you plan to do with the adventurers? Are you trying to throw them all away?”
“It would be very foolish to just turn all adventurers into enemies. I succeeded in taking out the guild leader after a long time.”
“Rather than saying it was taken away, please say it was the most appropriate choice for the rights and lives of adventurers.”
“That’s it.”
Bernhard read my direction for the Adventurer’s Guild and came to me.
To minimize damage to the entire adventurer guild.
In order to become a member of Fermaten and somehow protect the rights of many adventurers.
What was I going to do that made this man come to me?
It’s similar to that.
‘Large companies enter the used car market’.
“I will hire adventurers directly from Fermaten to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth.”
There has never been anything like this before.
“Based on the know-how that my personal knights have accumulated while conquering the Infinite Labyrinth from the first floor, I will provide the Fermatn Knights with a manual on how to attack the demonic beasts that appear in the Infinite Labyrinth. Divide into area strategy teams and provide strategy manuals appropriate to them. We plan to pay.”
“You are more specific than I thought. How long did you prepare?”
“From the beginning.”
From the moment I joined the adventurer’s guild, I tried to create a strategy team that would only faithfully carry out the Permaton’s orders.
It is the knights under Laura who fight on the front lines, and the adventurers who hunt down the demonic beasts that appear behind their tracks will be hired directly from Fermaton.
“In the past, there were few carrots to offer to adventurers, but now there are factors that would make adventurers prefer to be directly employed by Fermaten, so there will definitely be some who are tempted to come over.”
I stood up and pointed to the three armors standing behind me.
“This is armor that will be issued to adventurers, one for each grade. It is a very special armor that proves that we are a member of Fermaten.”
“That’s… Something you used a long time ago during the time of Lord So… ?”
“Yes. Avant-garde. And this one…”
Paladin Sonata is dead, but his spirit lives on in the follow-up aircraft, or rather, the follow-up armor.
“Dark Granger.”
Overall, light and sophisticated, yet black-toned full body armor with impressive sharp lines.
“White Tuscan.”
White heavy armor with a slightly thicker body than Granger.
“It’s not just armor.”
I knocked on the huge circular magic stone attached to the chest of the three pieces of armor.
“It’s an item made with a large amount of magic stones refined with succubus manamik.”
Weeing.
As soon as the magic stone began to sparkle, a protective shield made of mana spread over the area where I struck with my hand.
“It is a lifeline that will dramatically increase the survival rate of adventurers.”
“That…At a cheap price?”
“A bargain?”
I tapped the three pieces of armor.
“It’s a uniform for my person, so how can they ask me to pay for it?”
