Chapter 253 – So When Will We Go Down to the Labyrinth? (4)
“Count. How was my performance?”
“Anyone could see that he was claiming to be a knight of Fermaten in order to become a true adventurer in his later years. It was a perfect performance, Sir Bernhard.”
Bernhard’s breaking of his own nameplate at the Adventurer’s Guild was, of course, a performance.
Just say, ‘I’m quitting as guild leader!’ Because it is an action that is much more powerful than just doing something and attracts a lot of people’s attention.
“I never imagined there would be a double-edged ax hidden in the wall.”
“I put a seal on the temporary wall of the guild in case I decide to become ‘Knight Bernhard’ one day. Hehe. Look at the expressions the newbies showed when the temporary wall collapsed and the ax came out.”
Ah.
As expected, the best way to play GoStop is to squeeze and play.
“Is there anyone who followed you and said, ‘I will conquer the infinite labyrinth too!'”
“Unfortunately, it wasn’t there right now. Soon, I’ll be walking around the streets shouting, ‘Would you like to see the end of the infinite labyrinth with me!'”
“There’s no need to go that far. It’s better to have virgins who have just picked up a sword rather than energetic veteran men. Wouldn’t it be better to raise them from the beginning?”
“Are you worried that the Count might have dark thoughts against the members of his knights?”
“Hmm.”
There is also something like that.
“There is no need to make excuses. All of my women are attractive, and if I go down to the Infinite Labyrinth, other energetic knights may approach me carelessly. They forget their assigned roles.”
“A given role… As you said, are you talking about protecting the ‘relay machine’ for the Count’s Living Armor?”
“Okay.”
The main task of the knights under Bernhard is ‘management’ of the Infinite Labyrinth.
To be precise, it is the cleaning and hunting ground control of boss mobs that frequently appear in the infinite labyrinth.
Just as in the parent game, I used my exclusive position as a great lord to monopolize hunting grounds and maintain power through that, I also plan to have the knights under Bernhard establish bases in each major area of the infinite labyrinth to control the hunting grounds within the labyrinth.
For that, you don’t need a slut or a bachelor.
All you need is a virgin and a head of a family who has made a hundred concessions and is already married and has children.
Still, if you are the head of the household, you have a wife and children at home, so how dare you make fun of them?
Even if you tease me, I will give you a dedicated succubus one by one, so why bother even messing with my knights?
“In my heart, I want to unite all the knights under you into virgins.”
“Hehe. Still, don’t you think we need at least a few men? I’ll select them myself. We’ll call them the ‘Knights of Married Men.'”
“Wow.”
How did the knights get their name ‘married man’?
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Yes. If we bring in hot-blooded guys who haven’t even gotten married yet as knights, it will only be an inconvenience to the Count. Most of the demons we will deal with in the future are likely to be ‘female demon beasts’, and if we want to maintain our composition when dealing with them, we need married men as well. You have to let them in.”
“What should I do if there is someone who is more possessed by demons than my wife at home?”
“Rather than a wife like a fox, children like rabbits will come to their senses when they step on them.”
“I see.”
If so, it is recognition.
“We will plan and promote the establishment of the Order of Married Men. I will leave the recruitment of talent to Sir Bernhard. We will provide full support with all necessary resources.”
Even though time is relative, our budget is full and overflowing.
“Of course, as you know, the main purpose of the Knights Templar is…”
“Strategy of the Infinite Labyrinth.”
“Yes. We are building troops for the full-scale invasion of the Infinite Labyrinth and for the ‘conquest’ of the Infinite Labyrinth. By no means, are we saying that the Fermaton is building a large army to start a war or something. Right? “
“Yes, Count.”
Some people have already begun to express concern just because Bernhard became a knight of our Fermaten.
If you recruit too many knights here, both the kingdom and the empire may be suspicious of Fermatten.
So, increase your strength appropriately, but increase your strength as much as possible in places that cannot be seen.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Sir Bernhard.”
“I can only thank you, Count, for making me an adventurer who pursues romance.”
Bernhard, wearing white Tuscan heavy armor, lightly tapped the magic stone switch on his chest.
“Thanks to you, I was able to receive such wonderful armor. How great is it?”
Did they say that a man is still a child no matter how old he gets?
Bernhard laughed and laughed with satisfaction over and over again as he watched his armor flash and disappear every time he tapped the magic stone on his chest with his hand.
Both White Tuscany and Dark Granger are ordinary armor.
However, after the armor was made, the magic stone was attached to it like a lamp, as if sewing seams into his clothes.
The design, which combines straight lines and curves here and there, just like the LEDs in a car, was created by sending my drawings, albeit crude, to craftsmen.
Design by Rouge Permaten.
Although it is very different from reality and does not completely capture the philosophy contained in the design, one thing is clear.
‘Sanji’.
Fermaten’s ‘barding’ has a kanji.
“Make it clear to the knights that wearing different armor does not differentiate the knights. Keep in mind that all who wear this ‘barding’ are members of the Fermaten.”
I pointed to the pattern engraved on the inside of Bernhard’s barding chest.
“As long as the Fermaton emblem is engraved on this chest, everyone who wears this armor is a Fermaton.”
“You said such great things, but I’m sorry for pouring cold water on you.”
Bernhard lowered his voice.
“Are you sure that you will be assigned one exclusive succubus each?”
“Why? Do you really think I would lie about sex?”
“That’s not true. However…Among adventurers, there are some who would rather have other demonic beasts as their exclusive aides and squires than a succubus.”
“Another demonic beast…?”
“Yes.”
Bernhard continued speaking in a truly serious voice.
“There are some who want to be Sirens. And the bottom of the Infinite Labyrinth is full of other magical beasts.”
“…Is there something you want?”
“I am…”
Bernhard tapped the magic stone in his chest with his hand and savored his appetite.
“I want to catch the ‘Dark Elf’ maiden who starts appearing from the 41st floor.”
As expected.
This man has enough qualities to become a knight of Fermaten.
* * *
Bernhard, the guild leader of the Adventurer’s Guild, beat up the guild leader and became a knight of Fermaten!
Queen Messalina’s death certainly brought great confusion to Fermaten, but Bernhard’s becoming a knight of Fermaten came as an even greater shock to people.
“No, how can you do this? This is betrayal!”
“What is betrayal? Seriously, who is stopping the old man’s stubbornness to ‘conquer’ the 50th floor of the Infinite Labyrinth?”
“No, no matter what! How can you suddenly abandon the adventurer’s guild like this?”
“You have done well as a guild leader so far. This is true. The assistant guild leaders who were looking for the next guild leader are now in an uproar.”
Bernhard was old.
Naturally, there were several people who wanted to succeed him, and they were now rallying their forces to become the leader of the adventurer guild.
“So who will be the next guild leader?”
“I don’t know? Is there any reason to stay on a ship that’s starting to sink?”
“But it’s still an adventurer’s guild?”
“Fermaten is starting to persecute the Adventurer’s Guild, but things will change now. Anyway, it’s okay.”
Everyone started to feel anxious.
“I often saw the lord and the adventurer’s guild lose, but most of the time, the adventurer’s guild won. Without adventurers, the lord would have to personally manage the monsters around the territory.”
“Permaton is an infinite labyrinth, right?”
“Yes. What if Rouge Permaton can sufficiently control the Infinite Labyrinth?”
“…Then wouldn’t the Adventurer’s Guild be completely ruined?”
Adventurers are not fools.
Although Fermaten has stepped forward to recruit knights to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth, everyone knows that in reality, it is to destroy the adventurer’s guild.
“Damn, won’t we all become assholes if this continues?”
“I was sucking honey in the infinite labyrinth, and now this is a sudden disaster. Haha, if I had known this would happen, I would have set up shop in another region in advance.”
“Hey. It looks like the count is about to take over all of our hunting grounds. Are you going to stay silent? We need to step forward now!”
“What are you saying about going forward? Are you going to protest as a group with a red band on your head? Against the lord?”
“We need to gather public opinion! The Adventurer’s Guild is the target now, but next will be others. Think about it carefully.”
The adventurers thought.
“When the brothels were wiped out, we were silent. Because there was a replacement called the succubus. When the brothels were wiped out, we were silent. Because the brothels were overflowing. But now it’s our turn? We can’t remain silent. .Now.”
It is time for the adventurer guild to step forward.
“…I guess I just got hit hard by the karma of not participating in the Fermaten war.”
“Hey! But are you going to stay quiet now? Huh?”
“Because I have permanent citizenship.”
“You bastard! Is this a betrayal?”
A rift is forming even among the adventurers.
A sound like a thunderbolt was heard.
“Hey! We’re all screwed!”
“Why?! What’s happening all of a sudden?!”
“The magic tower lord has joined Fermaten!!”
Following the article Bernhard.
Even Barbas, the owner of the Magic Tower, became a man of Permaten.
