Golden Experience

Episode 468: Holidays in the Holy City

"─ ─ I couldn't..."

The ginorega mesh that fell off my shoulders was consoled by the two of me with a spicy onion list.

"Don't be discouraged. It's a shame this time, but it's not over. If it were an event of this magnitude, you would do it all the time.

I don't feel like there's any rush to the event venue, and this is clearly a building built on the premise of the event. I wonder if that's why I built it.... "

As the Spicy Pollack Roe List says, the building, which mimics the reality of an open event venue, is well assembled with an iron-like metal frame, and there is a sense of security that the event can be held without any problems even in a small amount of bad weather.

I don't know if it's for a cooking contest, but it's obvious that it was made using architectural skills so that various events could be held without problems.

Since there is no aesthetic difference from other buildings, the person who designed the city also designed the venue.

In other words, national policy.

Hasselah and Beam are at the top of the country, so they value the Players Event that much.

"Spicy Pollack Roe Spicy Pollack Roe, you're out of line.

We were just watching in the field, but it seems that the contestants were all quite likable in the Buffless Division.

NPC ─ ─ The locals can come out, right? Obviously, there are professionals. "

Without buffs, people living in the in-game world don't need buffs every time they eat.

Buffed cuisine requires specialized skills and tools, which means it's expensive. Some NPCs and players run such affordable canteens for the general public.

If a regular cooking professional was involved, there's no way Gil couldn't compete just by cooking with his hobbies.

In fact, the Buffless Division winner was like an NPC cook who had been evacuated from King Werth's capital at the turn of the war.

Incidentally, it seems that the NPC was also the winner in the buffed division.

There seemed to have been a lot of players, but some of them had left by exploding their dishes. He said he wanted to develop exciting flavors unique to the game.

"─ ─ That's right. This regret will be used again next time....

I'm here to change my mood. Forget about the results of the contest and dive into some dungeon!

"That's right.

Even so, St. Grossmunt was originally a relatively safe city, and there was no dungeon nearby. "

This Grossmunt was once only a satellite city of the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Wells, but it was destroyed just before the war, and from there everything was rebuilt as the capital of the Holy Empire. The event venue was included in the city plan because it was completely rebuilt.

Why was Grossmunt supposed to be safe destroyed?

It involves the player.

That said, I'm not a typical player like Waynes.

The players who chose to live as monsters, that is, to turn the human nation into enemies.

"But no matter how easy it is for monsters to evolve.

You've destroyed one city in such a short period of time. Um, did you then spend a little time in King's Landing, entering the Pairé, attacking Zorlen, and eventually destroying the Portley-kingdom?

Is it something that players can normally think about? "

"Rumor has it that a catastrophic NPC is on the back.

Look, even in this country, Hazela is the head of state on the system, but the Virgin is at the top of the hierarchy when it comes to appearances toward locals and other countries. That's how it feels.

The boss attacked Wealth all of a sudden, but he was actually a monster with some sort of connection to the Virgin, and the Virgin lost light in the fight against the monster. "

"Is that true?

"That's why it's rumored. Tsujitsu doesn't suit me, but it's just a rumor with no basis."

Leave the event venue with such a chat and head for the transfer device in the city centre.

In fact, there is no mercenary union in this city because it was destroyed once.

However, since more than a certain number of NPCs live, a metastasis device exists.

The transfer device is located in the center of the city, in the square in front of the holy castle.

The problem caused by the absence of a mercenary union is not just the transfer device. Naturally, you can't support the mercenary's life.

Originally there were no monster realms or dungeons nearby, so the number of mercenaries was small, but the mercenary's job was not just to exterminate monsters. Mercenaries are required to solve any problems.

It is also the role of the union to provide mercenaries with good offices on such minor problems in the streets as clients.

But even the problem was cleared in the sacred capital Grossmunt.

Because the Church acts on behalf of the mercenary union.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there seemed to have been frequent minor troubles due to unfamiliar work, but at that time, there were only as many players or church officials as those participating in the Holy Empire in Grossmunt. On the contrary, it seems that they were able to accumulate know-how successfully as a test period by staff.

That is why we are now able to provide organized support that does not attract mercenary associations in other cities.

This is also due to the strong link between the player Head of State and the head of the Church, the NPC.

There were special circumstances like this, but as far as Wayne knew, the city was the only major city on the continent that did not have a mercenary union.

"─ ─ Hey, I was watching the contest. I'm sorry, guys."

When I got to the square in front of the sacred castle, Beam called me.

The avatar is a small girl, even though she speaks like a nasty man. There are rumors that it is because the contents are male, but there is also a theory that it is not just a female player with bad mouth because there is no discomfort as a woman about the work.

As Hasselah's assistant, Beam is a player in the operation of the Holy Amarier Empire.

For a while, he said he was busy enough to turn his eyes, but now that the CPC of the Church had come to support most of his practice, he said that he had a lot of time. Players' events are actively held in the city, but also because such sacred Empire management players have become available.

When it comes to players' states, for example, although the Burgler Republic in the Shape region has established the NPC dwarf as a king, it is actually said to be a puppet state in which players have real power.

In the mainstream of these patterns, the Holy Empire is, on the contrary, Hasselah, the head of state on the system, but it is the Church, the NPC, that holds power.

From where the Virgin sits at the top, it looks as if the NPC has caused the players to build a country. It is a truly unique country.

"Long time no see, Beam. How are you, buddy?

"As you can see. I'm fine, though. I hope I'm not busy anymore, but I'm free.

They also help us run the players' event, and we don't do much of it.

That's why I've been thinking about going out for a long time, but Hasselah's idiots don't try to get away from the Virgin, and the others are attending the Players' Event, which is a huge crowd.

Looks like you guys are going hunting somewhere. Would you take me with you, please?

"Did you hear that? That's fine, but...

We don't know much about this neighborhood, and I don't know where the dungeons are. Well, the distance doesn't matter if we're going on a metastasis, but I really came to Wealth and wanted to go somewhere like that. "

When I heard the words of the spicy onion, Beam-chan looked as if she thought lightly.

"... well, let's go to the old King Werth capital.

It looks like a monster came in from somewhere after we defeated the King or the white guy in Magnum, and now it's as rough as it gets.

There are a lot of historic buildings, and I'd like to keep them in beautiful condition before we destroy them, but it's hard to get around. I didn't want to hire a mercenary, and I thought I'd clean it myself if I could gather manpower..... "

Wayne can't say that King Wells has very good memories in his capital.

It is no exaggeration to say that the kingdom was destroyed by the actions of the Waynes, and it is also the place where Septum carved down several defeats.

However, I also know how Beam feels.

If you're obliged to clean it up, so are Wayne and the others.

It's just complacency, but it won't hit the bees that much.

"─ ─ I don't mind. Rather, I'd rather ask Beam. We're the ones who destroyed the King's City. Let me help you."

"Oh, yeah. Wayne's left arm was scratched there, and I was worried it might be a trauma, but it looks okay."

"Gu, let's be clear...."

In normal combat, it is rare for a site to be clearly destroyed.

Even if the pain could be reduced to a little signal, it was quite fearful that my entire arm would be gone.

If he dies, all he has to do is respawn him, but if he does is cut off his limbs to the point where he doesn't die, he might be able to bring a lot of fear to his opponent. You will bleed to death soon, but in the meantime it will be an unforgettable time for the player. When it comes to games, not everyone can choose self-determination without hesitation.

"─ ─ Well, that's settled. It's a tentative party, but thank you for your time, Beam.

I'm the tank, Beam is the proximity attacker, Wayne is the inner guard, and Spicy Pollack Roe is the back guard. "

Another one, a magic specialist would be a good balance, but isn't it?

"Wayne just has to work for two. Hit and shoot magic at mid-range."

"Don't be ridiculous...."

It's Wayne who has gained some experience during the war and now also acquires "Healing Magic". It can be said that dexterity has accelerated.

Too much work to do during the battle, so it's impossible to work for two people.
