"He wasn't able to even leave a will.... Isn't that too quick?"
"Yeah. I thought it was strange that he was unable to speak considering his wounds and physical conditions at the time.... But he really couldn't speak a word."
"Couldn't he just write then?"
"Yeah. We tried that.... But when ruler-sama was going to write a will, his hand suddenly stopped moving. We tried all other possible means too... However, it was all in vain. I'm thinking that he might have contracted a different disease in addition to his wounds...."
Yup. He was being completely silenced alright.
There's no doubt that it was someone's handiworks to weaken the dungeon city.
Judging from the level of magic used, the perpetrator is probably a low class demon.
Since I don't sense any reaction from demons around the vicinity, the culprit is probably long gone.
If the current ruler is joining forces with demons, we might be able to squeeze their location from him, but.... It's very unlikely to be the case.
The current management of dungeon city is just too crude no matter how you slice it.
If the demons were behind it, they'd either adopt a swifter and more effective strategy or gradually sap the dungeon city's strength to prevent them from getting found out.
They could probably destroy this unstable city in 10 days if they were serious after all.
It's too half-baked for either short-term or long-term plan.
Which leads to the conclusion--the current ruler has nothing to do with demons, and is simply an idiot.
The demons probably can't stop laughing at how stupid the management of the dungeon city has become after only killing the previous ruler.
"I have never heard a disease with those symptoms either. Well, I am not that well versed as a healer."
I think about what to do with the current ruler.
We need to do something about the guy for now.

Evening of that day.
We've gathered in an inn room.
"This territory is really awful...."
"The mood of this city is far gloomier than what I heard...."
"Or rather, won't this city be in danger if we leave the current ruler alone?"
Looks like the three are well aware of this city's ruler's dreadfulness.
Alma is right, we can't let the guy run around free.
"Yeah. Thus, I'm going to send principal a letter."
