“Sending Adventurers and including them is easy, but protecting and fighting is different. The Kingdom can not take the unfortunate risk especially can make the fall of social law.”
Not only nobles, but sometimes Adventurers would blame the Kingdom for negligence in their security and military level. Claude knew that, and he took a shortcut to change the course of the scenario.
Because his duties as crown prince are increasingly discussed.
“Also..” Claude glanced towards Veronica, then he came back to look at me. “How old is that woman?”
“Like your noble.”
“Really?” Claude tilted his head slightly to get out the words “He looks too young, I think he's a kid.”
“What you say—!” Veronica wanted to jump on the rampage but I stopped quickly.
“Well, appearances can sometimes be deceiving.” replied I replaced Veronica. I know he's upset, but he has to keep him here so there won't be any major conflict.
But Claude didn't stop there and was still talking about Veronica.
“What can the killer do? I thought he wouldn't be too useful.” with ***** insulting, then “I'm just worried if later Saint's plan fails because one person doesn't work well.”
At that moment Yohan and Heros nodded in agreement to Claude's argument. Like the three of them were thinking.
But, “What is...” something exploded wrath and roared shouting “This bastard!!”
Veronica's ribbon broke and immediately she raised her foot on the sofa and almost jumped towards Claude. Yohan and Heros pulled the back of his clothes to calm him from his rampage.
Claude seemed to be enjoying that and grinning in satisfaction, he sipped his tea. But I can only waste my worried breath. His personality is very bad when provoking one's emotions.
If this continues then there will be no word of calm as long as they will meet more often in the future.
“Your majesty please don't lure him.”
“Hehe, what do you say Saint?”
His face was filled with flowers blooming happiness after dropping people mentally.
“No, no..”.
For now let this happen while there is no bloodshed.
Then I refer to the next topic and ask small questions, instead of taking my mind off the person behind me.
“By the way what is the difficulty level of the expedition dungeon this time?”
“Ah, west level-B+ and east level-A-.”
My eyes widened slightly when I heard the ‘A’ tiers this time out again. I can remember that the Sabnock dungeon was also A level and it was almost impossible to estimate whether or not it could finish.
“Is it harmless if level-A- appears?”
Claude casually replied like it was no big deal. “No.” and connect it again “This time there are no demons, because now at the scene strangely dungeon can go in and out of the gate even before the dungeon is completed.”
It was shocking, wasn't it an abnormal occurrence, there should be a level of vigilance for it because the awkwardness was very rare and almost impossible.
“There was a Wizard there and he had already entered into the dungeon as an experiment. And lucky he can be out in a few minutes. At that time he checked if there were any irregularities inside, and he said that there were only monsters and monster bosses there. So I think it's safe.”
Although Claude said so but somehow I feel bad about my feelings.
Well, since this is Claude I'm talking about it's possible he's already one step ahead of me. So I'll believe it.
“But..”.
The moment the word appeared I stopped moving or even forgot to move even a little.
“Something is weird. The wizard said that the monsters inside the dungeon were very calm. Supposedly if anyone had entered the dungeon then the instincts of monsters would work hard and appear to attack him. But, the Wizard came out unharmed and said it clearly.”
Feeling uneasy for this, I looked straight at Claude and spoke up.
“Is this a possibility of a trap?”
And I don't know since when the others are also listening seriously.
The first to enter the conversation was Yohan.
“Will this be like an incident of that time?”
And continued with Heros in a slightly uncomfortable tone to remember that the difficulty of the incident at that time was very large, “Does it dangerous and needs to be handled properly.”
“Hei little bastard, what do you think?”
Why did he turn it towards me? Shouldn't he ask those who understand this situation better.
I thought maybe Veronica was awkward with Claude. But, no. When he looked at me he was really serious about it.
For a moment I sank deeply into my mind to think of how to answer it. If seen again this is difficult because the dungeon is a phenomenon that cannot be predicted what is in it.
It's not like I have [Precognitive], but I tried it.
“There are two possibilities..”
Everyone's eyes are on me.
“The first one is this is not a trap. But, there is an element that makes how things can make dungeon in and out.”
Like in the game I played with my friend before reincarnation. In the game we form a group whose members value according to the numbers where we can start a Battle. It's like survival mode.
If the Wizard that Claude said was only a single then it was not enough to make the dungeon completely closed. That meant that the monsters inside were also as if waiting for the right amount for them to move.
But the problem is, why...
“Dan second. This is not a trap, but rather a.” transition
“Switching..?” Claude for the first time couldn't predict this.
“Yes. It's like they want us to get sidetracked by that dungeon to lure something out. But, I'm not sure what.” is
“Is it dangerous?” Veronica came in right away, I knew if she was very worried about this and this possibility was dangerous. This operation only goes with Veronica.
“No and also yes.”
“Which fucking!”
I use my fingers to explain.
“No. This means that if what they are looking for does not exist then it is not dangerous. Yes, it means that what they are looking for or the amount they want has been fully reached, and here is likely someone who intentionally did it.”
Curious for that Veronica asked a little more “Who is it can you imagine the mastermind?” and a little guessing with his funny chatter.
No, it's not what Veronica thought. As my expression fell completely to the level of understanding they could imagine...
“King of the Devil.”
Just two words of it goosebumps upon them and an indirect fear could be seen within their retinas.
Claude calmly listened to this as a matter that he needed to listen carefully and open his voice.
“Are you sure of that Saint?”
“I told you. This is half-half, between right and wrong.”
“Then do I need to take precautions and prohibit those expeditions, stripping the schedule is not too bad but it only takes some time until the dungeon break occurs.”
That's why I said it's hard to imagine. But it's also not hard to answer.
“No need to worry. The terrain inside the dungeon may be a little unique with a dark feel. But isn't there a slightly normal way to deal with it.”
“Hm, normal way?” claude's expression dropped and his eyebrows rose. Whether he really did not know or did try to lure me opened it all up.
Well, whatever it is I don't care and take it out. Because this is also for the sake of cooperation.
“You said dungeon in and out. How many have tried it?”
“In the message sent by the investigator there are only about 5 people.”
“It wasn't too bad because there was a slight improvement. Then is there another strange reaction?”
“Nothing. Still in a quiet and calm stage. The ones guarding there also increase their security.”
I grinned raising my voice.
“It's enough. Now let's create a feedback strategy.”
