Chapter 284 – #16 the Guard and the Dungeon (1)
Popoong, the king of Yugo Kingdom, was under heavy workload today as well. The position of king originally had a lot of work to do, but it became even more busy because two big events, the resurrection of the demon king, overlapped with the post-war processing.
However, thanks to the replacement of the kingdom’s officials, he has recently found stability. Po Huong confirmed the urgent agenda first.
“Jilish’s mid-level dungeon runaway. Bamamba’s mid-level dungeon runaway. Baron Hayat is occupied by monsters from the dungeon…”
Fortunately, none of them were the original territory of the kingdom. It was originally the territory of the empire, but it was taken away by war.
Jilish and Bamamba’s rampage in the dungeon was something the guards would take care of. The report that he came up to himself was just information sharing, saying, ‘This happened, so know’.
However, when Baron Hayat was occupied, Puffong had to give direct instructions.
The Guard is an organization in charge of managing the dungeon. It boasted power comparable to that of the royal family, but after an attempt to usurp the throne hundreds of years ago, the number of guards was controlled to prevent soldiers from being honored.
The reason why there are so few guards compared to the population of Promin. That was the reason why the guards struggled with their work.
‘Recently, due to Duke Suma’s performance, we have increased the number of people. Do I still need to loosen the restrictions?’
The fundamental cause of dungeon runaways is that hunters do not attack. However, if there were enough guards, it could have been suppressed early on.
Even in Promin, where the king resided right now, there were endless complaints about the need to increase the number of guards.
“There was another one.”
Just as expected. Under the documents containing the information of Baron Hayat, there was a request for manpower increase sent by Oh-hwan, the commander of the guard.
‘Since the hero said that he finally conquered the 20th floor, he should increase the number of people.’
I tried to wait until the time to hire new recruits, but there was only one season left before that time came.
I don’t want to spend a rough winter, so I’ll have to fill it up right away. Po Pong, who took the payment stamp, also wrote an order to send troops to Baron Hayat to subdue them.
“Sebastian.”
“Yes.”
Sebastian, the Prime Minister of the kingdom, raised his head while handling papers next to him. After working without a break for months already, Sebastian looked like the undead and his cousin his.
“…Shouldn’t you take a break?”
“It’s okay. I have a lot of work left in the kingdom, so how can I rest?”
“Then you might die from overwork.”
“It’s okay because I’m being treated by the priests.”
“Okay.”
I was grateful for the hard work, but sometimes it was burdensome.
‘I have to be lazy so I can make excuses and rest.’
“Leave the army to Rominas to subjugate Baron Hayat.”
“I will pass it on.”
Sebastian put the papers into the crystal ball. If that is delivered to the lower department, the bureaucrats will organize an army and go out on their own.
Afterwards, Popoong, who worked endlessly, received the call he had been waiting for.
“Your Majesty. The Duke of Suma has entered the palace. The Queen is welcoming the Duke of Suma in the drawing room.”
It was an opportunity to get out of the tedious and painful work hell. It was a perfect excuse for Duke Suma not even visiting him personally.
“I will go. To suffer.”
“Yes.”
After leaving the office, Po Huong headed for the drawing room with flying steps.
It was so majestic that it looked like a flying pork cutlet, but in my opinion, it was like a feather.
As he entered the living room accompanied by escorts, his wife and daughter, who were chatting happily, looked at him.
“You’re here.”
“Dad!”
Jasmine waved his arm like a joker. Despite his age her, fatherly love and headaches came to him at the sight of his childlike daughter his.
‘When will the season come?’
All of his older brothers and sisters have grown up, only Jasmine is like that. But since he got married, he will change gradually.
The son-in-law who took my daughter, who would be sick if I put it in my eyes, saw the hug and bowed.
“Your Majesty the King. How are you?”
“Yes. The duke…”
Po Huong looked at Suma with sharp eyes. Of course, in the eyes of others, it was just a vest buttonhole buried in the flesh of her.
‘Why am I fine?’
The Duke’s wife was over twenty. Twenty three to be exact. According to the intelligence obtained through a secret route, it seems that Saint Ellis also joined Suma’s harem.
I couldn’t believe that a man could walk around without a hitch, even with a twenty-four-year-old wife.
‘Doesn’t it work at night?’
All the wives were pregnant, so it was inevitable. That’s what Hufuong, who he hadn’t shared a bed with he in recent years, thought it was too much to deal with even a queen.
Recently, it was all the more so because he couldn’t stand for three minutes without the blessing of a person equal to the bishop of Dite, and he was beaten up.
“Your majesty?”
“Keuheum. I was thinking about something else for a while because I was worried about state affairs.”
“Your Majesty always thinks of the country. The people will shed tears and praise you when they learn of Your Majesty’s benevolence.”
The son-in-law’s flattery lingered in my ear. She wanted to hear more, but she had to sit down because the queen noticed her.
“They talked happily. What were they talking about?”
“I was explaining the greatness of the succubus!”
“What!”
Hugs were frightened. No matter how immature she is, is she possessed by a succubus?
“Duke Suma! How did this happen!”
“Calm down. Your soul wasn’t stolen by demons as you might think.”
“Then what is it?”
Her daughter her was unreliable, but Suma was. If you can’t trust the youngest sword master and the captain of the guard, who will you trust?
If you doubt, ‘How dare you doubt me?’ While doing so, she might join the aristocratic faction.
Since they won the battle and were stronger than the Royalists until Suma joined them, the royal authority will be greatly weakened.
“You said that humans can control the sleep of a succubus.”
“Humans control the nightmares of demons? Could Duke Suma control them? So, did the succubus enter your wife without causing any problems?”
When I heard about the unprecedented case, my interest was piqued. It was all the more interesting because I had been dealing with boring work.
“In hindsight, yes.”
“That’s great. The other sword masters… No. I would have known if they had. Anyway…”
Po Hug, who was sharing her honest impressions of her, was engulfed in her doubts of her. She was told that a succubus’ intrigue was more draining of her virility than a normal love affair.
Otherwise, why would the victims die of being sucked out of the spirit?
“Could you control the intrigue…”
“It’s kind of hard to tell my dad. Anyway, in my dreams, I can do whatever I want without worrying!”
“He got married, so there’s nothing he can’t say.”
The queen scolded him, but he did not listen to the hug.
‘How on earth are you still alive?’
Is this how you become the youngest sword master! Popoong regretted the past when he said that swordsmanship was not fun.
‘No. I heard that that and that are different?’
“What are you thinking like that?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Po-hug, ignoring his wife’s worries his, drank tea brought to him by his attendant. He felt better after drinking the finest mint chocolate pineapple tea.
“It’s a really good tea leaf. I heard that there was a problem with the farm that originally supplied mint chocolate pineapple vinegar to the royal family. It seems to have been restored wonderfully.”
“Hee hee hee.”
Her daughter her let out a bitter laugh. She wanted to point it out, but held back because her son-in-law was by her side of her.
“These are tea leaves grown in our garden!”
“Really?”
“Kuhm.”
I was so shocked that I lost my dignity for a moment. After hearing the queen’s clearing of his throat, he began to practice etiquette.
“How amazing.”
“Any plant grows well in our Smane garden! Take care of Celica too!”
‘What are you doing?’
I wanted to reprimand again, but I held back. I feel sorry for the plants if they leave the care to her daughter.
“The chatter is too long. Your Majesty is busy, so don’t take up too much time.”
“I am OK.”
“Yes?”
She didn’t want to work, so her true heart her leaked out. Sensing the Queen’s stinging gaze, Po Hug quickly corrected her words.
“I was saying that it would be okay to get to the point.”
“Also! Then I will give you a report.”
The original purpose of summoning Duke Suma. Report the progress of the warrior party’s attack.
“The warrior party attacked the 22nd floor yesterday.”
“Didn’t I say that I only cleared the 20th floor last time? Two layers in one day. That’s fast.”
“Thanks to catching the boss and raising the level, they said they awakened another hero-only skill. You can expect a quick attack up to the 30th floor.”
“If the level went up, you would have to change your equipment, right? Other party members have to assist.”
“Scarlett and Emeril have been following Rainy’s lessons. Sapphire… There’s something she wants to finish, and it looks like it’ll come to an end sooner or later. After that, you will be a much better wizard than you are now.”
Duke Suma’s voice had the power to inspire trust. Hugs nodded.
“What about the guards?”
“Get some more staff…”
“The payment has already been made. Recruit before winter arrives.”
“Thank you!”
The sincere gratitude of the son-in-law and the duke made the hugs excited.
“How is the dungeon?”
“As always, we are managing it safely without rushing. First of all, we distribute dungeons according to the ranks of the hunters…”
“You don’t have to tell me. You will do well.”
Her daughter her, who did not trust her father her, puffed her cheeks in her jealousy, but she ignored it.
‘I act so that I can believe it.’
“You were back to work from yesterday, right? Please take good care of me.”
“Yes.”
With Suma, there won’t be any problems in dungeons.
*
“Suma! It’s a big deal!”
My swordsmanship at the demon world dungeon checkpoint. While polishing the so-called sex sword, stamina sword, semen sword, etc., A guard burst open the door and came in.
“What?”
“The dungeon is about to explode!”
