Chapter 559 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 45

I know everything.

It has been the word that most stimulates human desire since ancient times. Humans have a desire for cognitive closure, and are even filled with the desire to know secrets that others do not know.

Isn’t there even a condition that says you shouldn’t tell others about the information you’ve discovered? How the information obtained here was used was entirely up to the purchaser.

However.

“How do you know that what you say is true?”

[All the adventurers who come to me say that. And my answer is the same. ─If you don’t believe it, don’t buy it. But… If you say things like this, you won’t be able to do business, right? There’s a wizard girl there. Could you please come this way?]

“… Me?”

After receiving Sherlock’s call, Rise tilted his head for a moment and then carefully approached Sherlock.

The moment Raije approached me, Sherlock once again put his hand into her arms and took out one of her parchments.

There, ancient magic was written in a dirty style that could not even be compared to modern styles. However, although the magic was not clean, the effect was clear, and it even had the advantage of being easy to read what it meant, unlike complex modern magic.

“… “This is.”

[You can take it and try it. It’s a gift.]

“… Dojin. “This way for a moment.”

Raize, who took the parchment, immediately stepped back and followed the magic circle written on the parchment. It was difficult for him to follow a magic trick he had never seen before, but here he was, a wizard on green. It was Raije who was called a genius in his own right.

If the result already exists before your eyes, it is only a matter of time before you can recreate it. Soon after, Raize activated the ancient magic written on the parchment.

“─Wijhard Jagen.”

The moment the magic circle exploded, and the magic power passed through the group. Raije immediately looked back at Dojin and asked.

“Dojin, what did you do yesterday?”

“Yesterday? “I stopped by Master Sayoung’s and trained.”

“And then?”

“Sayoung and I had sexed all night long in the dorm… Huh?”

“Good. Sayoung, is that really true?”

“What is this crazy bitch asking! Of course, it’s true that I had sex with Dojin all night long! … What is this-. “

The moment Sa-yeong realized something was wrong with Do-jin, Rajeje nodded and stopped his magic. The two people, who could not control the words that came out of their mouths, realized only later that the symptoms had disappeared.

[The magic of telling the truth. How about it? If that’s the case, you can trust that my information is true, right?]

“… Rize, are you testing the magic you received from him on us?”

“Huh. If you use it on that goblin, there’s a chance it could be an act. Surely…”

“Be prepared when I return.”

“Eck.”

Leaving behind Raize, who was rolling his eyes as if he was being unfairly treated, Dojin was the golden goblin in front of me. I looked at Sherlock.

Sherlock was turning on her car with a bright smile, as if asking her at any time.

“─Then, I will purchase some information.”

[Oh-okay. The more you buy, the more you get.]

“First of all, what is the price?”

[A luxury product made by human hands. I am receiving at least 100 kg per question.]

“At least 100 kg… Of course, you won’t accept just anything.”

[Of course! Because I have a taste that I am confident is high-end! Well, it may be an insignificant amount to you.]

Being a goblin, he couldn’t confidently go to the city to get things or something – Sherlock started to mutter about how uncomfortable it was as a criminal.

Do-jin, who was watching him, thought for a moment about what question to ask him, and then she thought of a good way and opened her mouth.

“I will purchase the information that other adventurers purchased the most.”

[Ho-oh, you’re smart. There you are.]

“However, since we don’t have the favorite item right now, can you bring it to us later?”

[Of course. The first transaction also receives deferred payment.]

“You mean postpay, what are you going to do if we don’t come back?”

[Then you will never be able to go beyond the 50th floor. Fortunately, there was no one like that among those who came up here.]

Is it because I am a new visitor after a long time, or is it because the only monsters I can talk to in this stuffy dungeon are the same monsters?

Sherlock’s mouth was so light that it was useless. She’s so loud it makes you want to cover your ears.

Dojin, who had been waiting for Sherlock to end his chat with superhuman patience, was finally able to purchase the information he wanted.

[Ah, that’s right. You said it was the most purchased information by other guys, right? Well, first—let me tell you about the secret of this dungeon.]

“It’s the secret of the dungeon…”

Probably the culprit that brought him to this world.

Dojin listened to Sherlock’s words, anticipating what secrets this dungeon would hold.

[The dungeon is in the past, ██ years ago ████…]

“… Wait, Sherlock?”

[Huh? Why but?]

“I can’t hear anything. “I wonder if they did it on purpose.”

[No? Did I mumble my words on purpose?]

“… “Didn’t you say you were selling information?”

She made a bewildered expression as she looked at Sherlock, who was deliberately mumbling her words so that he could not hear her, and Sherlock looked up at Do-jin in disgust.

[You idiot! If I receive all that information in one piece, what will I do for a living? That part was hidden because it was linked to other information! This is some kind of additional content!]

“… What is additional content? “I’ll just pay for that part, so please don’t hide it and let me know.”

[Hmm, I guess it will be a total of 300 kg of information?]

“Please do it.”

Do-jin, who only then realized that he had been tricked by Sherlock, made a bitter expression, but they were first-class adventurers in the dungeon city. I wasn’t someone who was obsessed with money.

Sherlock, who had caught a bully for the first time in a long time, began to open his mouth again with a happy expression.

[Thousands of years ago, the Demon King descended on this world.]

What followed was a series of history that probably no one in this world remembers.

[The gods fought a war against the Demon King who invaded their world. The war between God and the Demon King quickly spread across the world, and the creatures on the continent were either gods or Demon Lords. He took one of the two sides and participated in the war.]

And the reason the dungeon was created. What that secret means is that it starts with the war of the gods… This probably means that the gods created this dungeon.

Dojin roughly organized his world view in his head and focused on Sherlock’s words. Perhaps what follows next is the usual cliché that this dungeon was created by the gods to defeat the demon kings and seal them away─.

[And God lost the war.]

“… Huh?”

[Why do you do that?]

“No… God was defeated, what does that mean-.”

[Is it so incredible that God was defeated because he was weak?]

But surprisingly.

This world was a place where God was defeated by the Devil.

[The devil was strong. It was so strong that even if all the gods came together, they couldn’t overcome it. That is why the gods decided to risk their lives to seal the Demon King. Hoping that a hero will appear to defeat the devil on their behalf.]

At this point, Sherlock looked at Dojin strangely. Dojin looked at Sherlock as if asking why. But Sherlock shrugged her shoulders as if that was enough.

[This is the secret of the dungeon and the reason why the gods that existed in the past do not exist in modern times.]

“… Wait a minute. I know the gods created dungeons. But there is no God? Of course, there are churches, and there are people who use divine powers, right?”

That’s right.

According to Sherlock’s words, shouldn’t there be priests who believe in gods and use their power? But what is the reality?

The church was run by selling the names of the gods, and divine power was real. If the being called God had died and disappeared, something that should not have happened was happening in reality.

[I don’t know that either.]

“… Yes?”

[What I know is history from thousands of years ago, not the modern situation. How do I know what purpose you humans built the church for or how you use your divine power? I’ve been trapped here for thousands of years.]

“I see.”

After hearing those words, Dojin realized that the goblin in front of her knew less than she thought. Of course, people in this world may know things like the history of thousands of years ago, the secrets of dungeons, and strategies that no one knows about, but they are not that bright about the modern situation.

For historians, wizards, and priests, this would be valuable information. In fact, it was not a story that was particularly appealing to Do-jin, who was from another world and had no particular interest in history.

“… So what about the next most sold information?”

[Is this an additional purchase? Welcome. The next most sold information is about the monsters that appear on the 51st floor─]

Of course, Dojin purchased the information he should be curious about as an adventurer.

This information was truly valuable.

Sherlock knew the dungeon so well that he had to cancel his previous thought.

In this way, Dojin and his party returned to the city with unexpected profits.

* * *

The 50th floor where Dojin and his party left.

Sherlock, who was excited to meet a new person after a long time, calmed his excitement and calmly returned to his nest.

Sherlock, lying down in a nest filled with bribes he had received from those who had previously arrived at the 50th floor, smiled as he remembered the Do-jin he had seen earlier.

[I said it would come, but I never thought it would really come.]

A deal offered to him by the gods in the past.

Please betray the Demon King and take on the role of a guide to guide the warrior who will come one day.

He, who thought it was a fraud because he never came to visit, has finally passed away.

[As expected, I was right.]

In a gamble with life, soul, and possibly eternal boredom.

Sherlock finally achieved victory.
