The Fate X Dungeon
Ch#08 - Initial Plan
Since yesterday had to take care of some 'guests', I haven't had time to explain much to Sella. So today I invited the woman to tour the important places inside the dungeon, and explained some work to her.
It roughly took him two and a half hours to introduce the dungeon to her. Given how intelligent and insightful he is, this has made my job easier. Our last stop after guiding him was the Throne Room.
Actually I haven't thought of a proper name for any room within the dungeon. But since this room seemed to fit the picture of the room of a ruler inhabiting a dungeon was dangerous, so calling it a throne room was the right choice.
This room is approximately 50x50 meters wide, with high ceilings and classic-looking interior room adds a sinister feel to someone who enters it.
The entrance itself is very magnificent, has a pair of sweet meeting door leaves that reach 10 meters high. From the entrance to the throne chair placed at the end of the room, a very luxurious red carpet spread across the room. Between the left and right of the red carpet, stood a large pillar supporting the ceiling totaling 10 pairs. Candlelight is placed on each pillar, and makes one source of light other than expensive lights hanging from the ceiling.
“Ho-Ho... It is also a good concept that was built in this room. I thought I had just entered the demon lord's castle.” Sella said in amazement as she entered the room for the first time. The glint of his eyes showed interest in the new things he discovered. “Are you going to sit there welcoming the challengers who reached this place?! Then you will destroy their mentality when you introduce yourself arrogantly to useless creatures who dare to step into your territory!” he added with unstoppable spirit.
“Surprising once. Who would have thought you would have thought of such a plot when you first saw this place.” I said indifferently.
Although I understand that he is easily attracted to things, I do not expect his reaction to be like that.
“Hehe, of course. As long as you know, since reading some literature from the upper world, I used to think of making my own writing.” he said proudly while puffing his chest.
Did ya? It was hard to believe, it turned out that he had such a simple dream.
However, because there are still other topics that are more important. I don't respond to it for now, and choose to talk about something else.
“I'm willing to read your work that you'll make later, but do it when you're free. In addition, this room is not prepared for myself.”
“Why is that?” sella asked a little irritatedly. Since seeing me as if not caring about what was said before, it was only natural that she seemed annoyed even if it was not revealed.
“The answer, because I have thought of another more suitable figure. However, since my preparation is not enough, I cannot currently call him.”
After seeing that he had given up, I approached the throne chair and sat on it. Sella followed, then took the place to stand next to me without asking any more.
The next moment, I made a small gesture with my left hand, like a person wiping something in the air.
A transparent map is displayed with magic. Actually this is a map showing the area above the dungeon land I created, and covers up to 200 km around it.
Sella did not want to ask directly, she preferred to wait for an explanation from me.
“Because twenty years have never come out, so do not know what the situation is like up there. Before I called you, I actually sent about 300 of my familiars to gather information outside.” I explained to him. Sella nodded as she closely watched the map.
“So... This map is the result of your observation?” ask the woman while pointing at the map.
Although the dungeon I had created was twenty years ago, I only focused on the development of artificial bodies and the research of aether potion. So there is no time to do anything else. So as soon as yesterday I felt it was time to develop a bigger dungeon, I summoned a servant to be made a trustworthy assistant.
“In addition to residents and security, what else do you think a dungon needs?” Sella seemed to think about the answer to my question. Since he is clever, there is no need for me to wait for long. The answer I wanted was out of him.
“Every living thing needs support to stay. Even if a magical or demonic creature must also need. Just like humans need to eat, dungeons also need to name resources in order to continue to survive. In that case, how are we going to get this resource?”
As usual, she answered all my questions in a way that always amazed me.
I was lucky to have called him. Praise him in my heart.
“I have a treasure that can be used as a resource for the next few hundred years, but because we need more stable resources. Then the only way is to have someone provide a sustainable resource.”
“I mean... You want to attack a village to be a subordinate who will provide resources?” As soon as she finished speaking, Sella immediately responded to my words as I expected.
“Attacking a village will only give birth to fear and hostility. I prefer to use the phrase 'conquering' at this time. By making them subjugated, we will provide a sense of security and trust, so that we can control them easily in the future.” obviously I solid.
Then I calmly removed the medium-sized leather pouch from the dimensional warehouse. The bag of porters I showed was a magic item. This is a lower version of the dimensional warehouse, where the capacity of goods that can be stored is more limited and usually only used to store small items.
In the bag is stored a lot of magic scrolls that I have made so far.
Each magic scroll usually stores sharing magic to be used instantly, without the need for mana or neatness in its use. Because it is a disposable item, witches usually use magic scrolls only for magic with more time and effort in the process.
Maybe three is enough.
“「Mirror Observation」「Farsight」「Paranormal Intuition」”
After I said those three sentences, I threw all three magic scrolls into the air. All three were burned by the bluish flames and vanished in the air. The next visual appeared when I pointed to one of the locations on the map transparent.
The target I chose was...
“Arunn Village.”
“This!?” Watching the scene shown by the magic mirror from the village of Arunn made Sella shocked.
The timing is right, it's in line with my estimate. It's time we went there.
