The Dungeon Of Pandemonium - Volume 1 Chapter 27 First Contract
After what happened to the earth king and his guards, everyone knew that if they were going to the fifth floor, it was an assured death. Those who had planned on going stopped thinking about this as they were sure to die.
On the other hand, the other kings and and leaders were quite excited to face the dungeon master of the dungeon.
To control these girls, he must be a great power himself and to know this kind of person if only because of contracts between a dungeon and a kingdom, it was worth it.
As such, the water kingdom, the water king and his leader use the teleportation token in order to go meet with the dungeon master.
The leader of the army touched the shoulder of his king when he broke the teleportation token, and both of them immediately disappeared.
A few seconds later, they appeared in a circle made of stone and there was a pathway towards the house.
When they teleported, Iris was notified by the token she had with her. Whenever someone used the token given to the leaders, her token would lit up and she would then know that someone was there.
Since this was the case, she stopped what she was doing and she went to meet their ‘guests’.
“Welcome to the house floor.” Before they could even take a step outside the teleportation circle decorated as a stone circle, they were met with the most beautiful girl they had ever met.
Coupled with the scenery of the house with the garden and a little further away the trees made everything look mystical.
For a moment they were unable to talk as they were reflexively admiring the floor.
“Oh sorry, where are my manners. You must be the floor master?” The king had only recently ascended to the throne and he was only twenty-three years old. As such, he didn’t mind showing courtesy by bowing a little bit.
“Oh no, I am merely his assistant.” She immediately bowed back to the king and then turned around to bring them to the living room.
On the television, all the floors were shown while the red dots were representing the ‘invaders’ of the dungeon. Seeing this, the king and the leader knew that when the earth king had sent his troops in order to take over the dungeon, he was long since discovered.
“Oh? We have visitor?” A young man of around eighteen years old entered the room while looking at the two visitors.
“Yes, we came here to see the dungeon master. Is he around?”
Hearing this Iris chuckled and she went out of his way.
“Huh? Are you the dungeon master? I’m sorry, I was expecting someone who was really strong.”
“Oh? Is this what you mean? Jin activated the scroll secretly while initiating his transformation.
Two horns grew on his head as scales appeared on his arms and legs and his nails on both his feet and hands grew longer and sturdier. The nails seemed as if they were a knife. With his aura exploding due to his transformation and the extra of the scroll, he managed to suppress their doubts immediately.
They had already felt pressured when the three girls were releasing their auras. But now? The pressure he gave was at least double that of the girls together. It was really too much as the two of them lost strength in their legs and fell.
Luckily, the girls were around. While Venus just did her job of placing a chair under the king in order to not let him fall to the ground, Mika seemed more like she was playing a game while placing the chair at high speed under the army’s leader.
When he saw that both the knight’s leader and the king couldn’t relax with the pressure he was emitting due to his transformation, he released the transformation and the magic scroll. Finally sitting down on the opposite sofa.
“How may I help you?”
The leader who had one way or another took back his breath talked in a low voice.
“We would like to sign a contract with your dungeon. My king here will talk the specifics.”
“Yes, right now, our kingdom is in dire need of medicinal herbs. We would have of course traded with the other countries first. But, they too are limited as such, we have no choice but to ask for your help in this matter.”
“Yes, there is no problem. How much herbs and which kind are you looking for?”
“We are looking for Zoysia grass and blood sand vine. And around one hundred kilograms of each. Is it possible?”
The king was looking as Jin as if he was looking at his saviour.
“Yes, there are no problems, but I will need for you to send some people to collect them. I will open a room on the first floor where only person authorized with the token will be able to enter.”
“Yes! That’s perfect! What about the payment what would you like?”
“It would be best in money but if that’s not possible than I’ll just hold on a favour.”
“No, there’s no problem, I can pay how much would suit you? I was planing on buying the herbs from the other kingdom for ten thousand gold coins for one hundred thousand kilograms of each. Is it good for you?”
Jin’s pondered a little bit while making a fast calcul in his head. Each gold coin could give him one hundred GP while to summon so many herbs and opening the new room would cost him a total of one hundred thousand GP. In other words, with just the offer of the king, he made an extra nine hundred thousand GP. It was perfect.
“Yes, there is no problem. I shall go and open the room and have the herbs appear inside. Give me a moment please.”
Jin left the room while Iris and the three girls were staying still on the side.
Seeing that the leader of his knights hadn’t stopped glancing towards Venus who was staying still near the wall, the king tried to help him.
“You are Venus right?”
“Hmm” She nodded her head at the king
“Would you like to come work at the castle instead of a dungeon? We can give you the best job and you will live peacefully. You won’t have to kill people for your master.”
She gave a weird look at the king without answering him.
Seeing that he hadn’t managed to draw her in yet. He tried another thing.
“If you come to the castle there is plenty of man that would love to court you. I would even offer my knight to be your husband if you want?”
Hearing the king, he couldn’t help but blush a little bit and he quickly shot a glance at Venus who was still standing there.
“No thank you.”
She replied politely while showing that she was certain of her answer. However, the king still continued on.
“You wouldn’t have to look for a husband as you could just choose one from many. Wouldn’t it be better for you?”
She tilted her head in confusion before answering a sentence that showed her utmost trust in Jin.
“There is no need for m to look for a husband. If I need someone, I will ask my master to find one for me. This way I won’t have to search for one. And honestly, I didn’t kill those guards previously.”
“Huh? You didn’t than who did?”
“…” Alma shot a glance at the king before turning her head again towards the entrance of the room.
“Ha? You mean that all these extremely powerful soldiers were taken care of by her alone?”
The three girls tilted their heads at the same time while Alma like always kept her indifferent attitude.
“Ha! I’m done. The room is ready and the herbs are inside. Here the token. Like always a drop of blood on it and this token to come next time.”
He threw the token for the room of herbs to the king while the other too the knight leader.
“Sir dungeon master? I was wondering if you would accept to release Venus from her contract to you to come live at the castle?”
“Erm? Why do you ask me? Ask Venus instead. If she herself wants to leave I won’t force her to stay however she is still a part of out family as such I still would like her to stay. However, if she really wants to leave, it’s in the end her choice.”
“Oh… I see… Well miss Venus, if you change of ideas you are always welcome to the kingdom of water. We shall take our leave now. Have a good day.”
“Have a good day as well. Iris escort them to the teleportation and send them back to the first floor.”
“Yes!”
