EP.78 Royal Guard Loyalty to the Master

Was there such an incident?

Celia nodded her head in response to Marus question.

I suppose its because Maru has been having a hard time, so it seems the master has been considerate.

Maru also nodded at her words.

The master indeed has deep consideration. Celia was impressed that he would think of humble servants like us in that way.

Celia was so moved that she even closed her eyes.

Listening to her words, Maru was also convinced.

When he thought about it, why would there be a reason for the master to suddenly stop eating well-cooked ramen that he had been enjoying until now?

Maru was convinced that the masters words not to make it delicious were out of consideration.

Tick!

And Maru brought up the words the master had asked him before coming here.

Hmm? Did the master ask you for something?

Because it was the words of the great one, Celia naturally became interested.

Tick!

Maru gestured and conveyed the masters words.

Indeed.

Celia nodded, touching her chin.

Are you saying to send the dead monsters as sacrifices?

And not just any monsters from other dungeons.

The masters words were to send the dead among the monsters currently in the dungeon as sacrifices.

How amazing!

Celia, who was contemplating the masters words conveyed by Maru, smiled brightly.

I understood well the deep meaning that even the dead are embraced by the master! Lets send them right away!

Tick?

(Is that even possible?)

Maru expressed doubt at those words.

The master had clearly said that when dead monsters occur, they should be sent as sacrifices, but to be able to send them right away What kind of situation is this?

At that moment, a skeleton knight entered from outside.

In the knights bone hand was a wooden plate, on which two glasses were placed.

He came in naturally and placed the glasses in front of Celia and Maru.

Thank you, Sir Knight.

The glasses were exquisite, and inside them was a liquid.

Oh, this is something we found among the adventurers belongings. It tastes very good.

Celia offered Maru some tea.

?

Maru stared at the tea for a moment and then took a sip.

There was no taste at all.

It didnt feel hot or anything.

The liquid just flowed into his mouth and out of his body, dripping onto the floor.THee source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Upon closer inspection, there were many symbolic foods in Celias workspace.

There were snacks like the tea they were having now, as well as jerky and other items.

It was possible because quite a few adventurers had visited this place.

All adventurers carried belongings in some form, mostly money or provisions.

Sometimes there were symbolic foods like this, so Celia had tea time.

Indeed, the deep flavor of the tea is wonderful.

Celia also savored a sip of the tea.

Then, she ordered the skeleton knight next to her.

Are there any dead creature in Area 2? Bring the corpses. Handle them very carefully because they will be dedicated to the master.

At her command, the skeleton knight saluted and turned back.

Was there anything else you wanted to say?

As the skeleton knight left, Celia looked back at Maru and spoke.

Maru thought for a moment and then said something.

Tick-!

From now on, it was crucial.

Crack, rattle~!

I see.

Crack, crack.

Indeed, its worthy of admiration for the masters insight.

Maru spoke with a clattering sound, and Celia nodded in admiration at Marus words.

Marus story was simple.

[Write and report a plan for the composition of the necessary facilities and units in the dungeon.]

Even now, each of us has a rough role, but its not systematic.

The size of the dungeon will continue to grow.

It would be wise to gradually establish the framework from now on.

Surely the master said something like that.

Maru relayed the masters request to Celia.

Thats definitely the right thing to do. Even though we are currently only dealing with adventurers, we must look to the future. If we are to swallow kingdoms in the future, we will need various organization.

?

Swallow kingdoms?

Maru remained silent at the unfamiliar content.

At that time, we should consider not only the nations of humans but also wars with other dungeons. The scale itself will change. Its clear that we need to start preparing from now on.

She understood the masters purpose well.

But Celia asked Maru for additional help.

So, Maru, what kind of facilities and units would be good?

Maru was no ordinary monster.

He was practically a deputy to the master by the his side.

Surely, he would understand the masters thoughts well.

So, Celia asked Maru.

Some goblins had simply died from exhaustion.

As the skeleton knight left, a goblin entered this time.

He was clearly a goblin shaman who had been active in the scout unit.

Three, invaders soon. They strong. Careful.

The goblin shaman reported to Celia that three invaders were approaching.

Their attire was ordinary, but their prowess was no joke.

One of the goblin scout units sent out for reconnaissance had almost been annihilated.

And the enemy continued to move in this direction.

The vultures dare to appear while carrying out the masters orders.

Normally, she would have left such matters to others.

But now, she was in a crucial position planning the masters future.

But suddenly, invaders appeared and disrupted their plans?

Celia was angry.

And she gestured immediately.

Three people who had been wandering near the dungeon stopped moving at Celias gesture.

Her skill, Charm, was at work.

Despite the distance, these individuals, taken in by her charm, quickly succumbed.

After dealing with them, reorganize the scout unit.

The goblin shaman acknowledged and left.

Shadow.

As Celia spoke into the air, a faint shadow appeared.

Once captured at the Demon Market, this shadow monster was now under Celias control.

Interrogate why those people came here. After dealing with them, offer them as sacrifices to the master.

The shadow bowed and disappeared.

Haah. Im sorry about this.

Clank!

(Its okay!)

Lets take a short break and continue.

The skeleton knight offered the goblins corpse as a sacrifice to the master.

The goblins corpse was confirmed to be a goblin belonging to the dungeon managed by the master.

The sacrifice is absorbed immediately.

Obtained the goblins trait [Slightly Strong Disguise (E)]. Can be used for Enhantment.

Oh, whats this?

There were a few stories that had been passed on to Maru.

One of them was the order to offer the corpses of my dead minions.

But to carry it out so early.

Originally, the intention was to offer the corpse as a sacrifice.

Most of the sacrifices Celia had offered so far were adventurers or holy knights who invaded the dungeon.

When they were offered as sacrifices, it took 6 hours for absorption, a time during which I would be defenseless and could faint.

So, since the last time, I had been preparing with Maru in case something happened.

It was Marus mission to protect me if I fainted.

However, I didnt faint when offering items as sacrifices.

Last time, when Celia offered both a holy knight and a Demon Sword as sacrifices, I only fainted when absorbing the holy knights abilities.

The Demon Sword had no effect on my fainting.

Another type of sacrifice was my affiliated monsters.

When they were alive, they could be summoned, but what would happen if I offered a dead monster as a sacrifice?

I was curious about this for a moment.

And the results were already out.

My affiliated monsters abilities appeared immediately available for reinforcement without the need for absorption time.

Of course, I didnt faint.

The skeleton knight offered the goblins corpse as a sacrifice to the master.

The goblins corpse was confirmed to be a goblin belonging to the dungeon managed by the master.

The sacrifice is absorbed immediately.

Obtained the goblins trait [Greed(F)]. Can be used for Enhantment.

The problem was that only goblins had been offered as sacrifices, so there werent any particularly useful abilities.

Where could I use this?

What good is it to raise greed?

While I was pondering this for a moment, another alert popped up.

An unknown shadow offers a Holy Knight of White Order as a sacrifice to the master.

Absorbing the abilities of the sacrificed knight.

(Remaining time: 6 hours)

?

After goblins, it was a holy knight.

No, what on earth is happening?

Why is a holy knight in the dungeon?

There was another unknown shadow there.

I had never encountered anyone with that name when exploring the dungeon.

Did Celia hire someone separately?

Sometimes, Celia increased the number of monsters through the market, so it seemed similar to that.

An unknown shadow offers a Holy Knight of White Order as a sacrifice to the master.

Absorbing the abilities of the sacrificed knight.

(Remaining time: 6 hours)

And the sacrifices were not just one.

An unknown shadow offers a Holy Knight of White Order as a sacrifice to the master.

Absorbing the abilities of the sacrificed knight.

(Remaining time: 6 hours)

In total, three knights were offered as sacrifices.
