The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 16. Priest's Request

After replying, Conley suddenly recalled the request they were running at the moment, he could not help but want to curse Tieres in his mind, but Conley did not show it on his face.

“Then next, tell me the topography and threats from the surrounding area. ”

"First, about the marshland ... , there are 5 swamps around here. There are 2 between this place and the city, there are no certain dangerous creatures in it. The remaining 2 are located to the west of this place, and the others are to the south of here.

In the western swamp there was a place called [Quagmire Jaw], the swamp was inhabited by a large group of crocodiles. They can swim in swamps easily, it is said that they are very ferocious, anyone who enters their territory will be attacked and eaten.

Whereas in the south, it is the home of all kinds of dangerous insects, ranging from giant mosquitoes, zombie flies, explosive ants and more.

There were even pill bugs that were the size of cows called [Scavenger Insects]. Just like the name suggests they like to eat the carcasses of dead creatures.

that is why, people usually stay away from that place ”

Basically the combat strength of the insects is very weak, you can kill them easily, but what makes them scary is their sheer number.

In addition, the insect queens also have racial skills that are more unreasonable compared to the racial skills of the goblins, namely [Colonies].

With this skill they can increase their number as much as they want as long as the queen is alive.

Hearing her answer, Alice seemed disappointed and sighed.

In order for his older brother, Aaron, to make a contract with monsters, he needs to make a contract based on the negotiations between them.

insects and crocodiles will not be able to negotiate. If he wanted to get them into his combat forces, he would have to control them with magic.

When people said that controlling creatures with magic was easy, they were a bunch of arrogant people.

Of course there is a lot of magic that can be used to control other creatures, such as [Charm] or [Friendship]. If you use such magic, you can easily control it.

However, it will not last forever. If you want permanent effects then you may be able to use [Group Control] and [Brainwashing].

But, because what we will control is a senseless animal, If we do not order it to eat or excretions it will die in the near future.

The exception is if we use [Complete Dominance] and [Everlasting Lover], but the compensation of using such magic is huge.so it would be useless if it was only used to control crocodiles and weak insects.

As for [Summoning] magic, it was not magic that could be used at will, so it was not suitable to be used to increase the number of troops.

Especially for Aaron and Alice, who were thinking of ways to increase their troop numbers. Those magicians were no match for their current situation

But, the story would be different if they managed to bring the monster into the labyrinth.

"Goblin .... , do you know the location of the various monster villages and barbarian tribes? "

“There are about 10-100 Goblin villages out there. But I don't know their exact location. If it was around the marshland, there might be a lizardman living nearby, but I have no proof of that. In the west, I had seen a human settlement on a small mountain called Mount Torli, I heard it was the base of a small group of bandits. ”

Hearing the word 'bandit', Alice's eyes brightened.

He has a tremendous interest in those who are called evil and unjust.

To suppress his little sister who wanted to say something, Aaron asked another question first.

“Is there a village around here? How many? and what's their scale? "

“E, er .. there should be at least 3 villages around here. The scale was around a hundred people, almost no humans could fight there. ”

"Is so... "

Hearing what Aaron and Alice said, does this mean that when the time comes, they will attack the village and loot their food?

"Is that enough?"

“En ~, enough. We have collected enough information brother”

The information they got this time should be enough to use later.

Conley, and Tieres who groaned in pain waited for the next word patiently.

“because the answer you give is satisfactory, you can…. ”

Before Aaron could say the next word, the 'Sreeck' sound of chain friction sounded outside the [Throne room]

Hearing this voice, Conley's face looked pale, and the always moaning Tiera gave a pitiful cry of 'Hiii'.

"Wait a minute... . , Alice let him in ”.

Conley, hearing Aaron ask his sister to open the door.

When the girl with black hair who was like the feather of a crow nodded, the big door opened by itself.

At the doorstep, there was the Knight of judgment

He held the chain in his hand like a bridle, at the end of the chain were 6 women crawling like dogs.

"get in"

"Yes !"

In response to his master's words, the knight of judgment entered the [Throne room]

The woman tied to the chain started walking following the movements of the knights.

The scene looked immoral and lewd.

Tieres could not watch this scene due to the constant pain he felt. But, the two siblings sitting on the king's throne, Aaron seems to look expressionless, while Alice looks very happy.

Conley put on a shocked expression on his face, as he looked at the female figure connected to the knight of judgment with a chain.

The knight came forward and bowed before his master.

[I have completed the task according to your order]

"You did well. We've done your assessment of your performance in the battle before, even though you've made some minor mistakes, but the end result is quite satisfactory.

I will grant your wish and allow you to follow us as a servant of”

[I am very happy and grateful]

“you will still be treated as a knight and will receive a reward in accordance with the achievements you get on the battlefield. ”

[as you wish, master]

Listening to the heavy voice that was lowered by several octaves out from the knight's helmet, he seemed to be satisfied.

“Now, let's continue our conversation. Conley, and Tieres. Thank you for your cooperation . I'll let you out of the labyrinth safely. ”

"T, wait a minute!"

Conley yelled.

Alice, hearing Conley's response, was quite confused.

"What's that?"

Aaron asked.

The word was heavy and cold, but it seemed that he intended to listen to it.

Conley took a deep breath and gave a request to the labyrinth master.

"This, about the freed man.... , Rather than us, can I ask him for them? " Conley pointed towards the group of women

His voice echoed louder in the Throne room as he conveyed his wish to the owner of the labyrinth.
