Golden Experience

Episode 470: The Ghost of Wealth

In the meantime, you've cleared this place up.

There are no monsters around, I guess.

"Hmm. Good work. But the King's City is huge, and it's a bit impossible to kill all the monsters...."

On several occasions, Wayne and the others took a breath in battle against a herd of monsters.

The monsters may be inside the building, so if they are alarmed, they may be ambushed. If you're taking a break, it's safer to clear the building and secure the entrance and exit.

"Well, one by one, it's not that strong, but it's a lot. If it's certified as a dungeon, maybe players will come, but for some reason it's not like that."

Beam-chan blurred as she turned her shoulders.

Sure, this weakness with this monster density would be a great hunting spot for a mid-sized player.

Popularity is due to poor visibility and poor access.

I wonder if you have a boss or something. Killing the boss means most of the fish in the dungeon are gone, so cleaning is quick. "

"So it's not a dungeon."

"It turns out that this king's capital is a different kind of monster. There seems to be some kind of dungeon where the fish can't disappear even after defeating the boss, but given that, even if this dungeon turns into one, it may not solve the problem."

I see. That's right. Dungeonation also means that this is officially recognized as a monster territory. If that happens, even if we destroy all the monsters, we will soon be resurrected, and if we want to do something about King's City, shouldn't we dungeon it? "

It has been a long time since the dungeon was implemented.

I've heard some stories about Wayne attacking a dungeon before.

According to the report, defeating the Dungeon's boss will kill all or most of the monsters in the dungeon at once.

The monsters who die at this time can be stripped and cadaverized without having to defeat the boss party, so there are many troubles, but there are also many players gathered in the dungeon where the attack is expected.

However, the boss will respawn in three hours.

And then an hour later, the fish will respawn, so most of the time the fish monster will be a member of the boss's family.

Occasionally there will be parties where you think about risking your boss, but such behavior will interfere with other players' dungeon strategy, so you will buy the repulsion of all other players who challenge that dungeon. In some cases, it is not the monsters of the dungeon that will then be targeted in that dungeon, but rather the player party for the risk-taking. As a result, the disadvantages seem to be greater, and players who continuously make it work don't listen.

Regardless of the difficulty of Magnum's breathtaking dungeon, only the boss is unusually strong, or several bosses appear when disadvantaged, so I can't hear the story that the information in front of me was able to tackle it.

However, even in dungeons that are easy to understand, and where the boss is too strong for difficulty, even if the appearance of Septum, Norway, and Octo has not been confirmed, it can be inferred that it is magnum.

Due to these circumstances, the local rules for players to turn back in front of the boss room for the Magnum Melm dungeon were also created, which was to be treated as a tactical strategy on an ad hoc basis.

"Anyway, this isn't the kind of work that Beam can do alone. The enemy is not very strong, so I might be able to get rid of him someday..."

However, considering that there have been so many monsters since the war, it is possible that the pace of crusade will not increase over time.

"Of course I do. Sometimes it's like my self-satisfaction, and it's not very easy for me to tell Hasselah...."

Certainly, it doesn't make any sense to clean up the Old King's Capital now.

On the contrary, if the old King's City is dungeoned like King Hills's City as a result of leaving it, it can even be said that it is more beneficial for the Holy Empire.

After all, the sacred capital of the Empire, the sacred capital Grossmunt, and the old kingdom were originally satellite cities, so they were close. It is an excellent attraction near the capital to dungeon as much as you can manage.

As far as these monsters are concerned, it is extremely unlikely that they will become dungeons exceeding 3, and even if they become dungeons, they will be well managed.

"─ ─ All right. Should I leave it like this today? Sorry, Wayne, Gil, Spicy Pollack Roe. Let me go out with you.

I'm gonna find time to clean this place up for a while, but what are you guys gonna do?

Hmm. It's not like it has a purpose. It was like a distraction.

What do we do, Wayne? "

"Distraction is distraction, but there's a purpose for Gil to revenge in a cooking contest. Until the next contest, we'll be here hunting beams and Gil cooking at the camp. Where are the spicy onions?"

"I think that's good, too. The temporary base is Grossmunt. I'd like to go and see how things are going, but I think it's just right."

What are you going to see?

Probably it involves the golden plan of Akita, but I didn't feel comfortable listening because I felt like I was a little prepared to listen deeply.

Exit the Old King's City and walk toward the Holy City. There's a distance, but if Wayne and the others are talented, we can run right away.

If you're working around here for a while, you might want to buy a horse.

Easy-to-use monsters like horses are popular. Because it is a premise of billing items, SNS has both approval and disapproval, but if there is no resistance to using real money, there is no reason not to buy it.

There must have been a shop in the Holy City.

Well then, let's find a place to stay in the sacred capital ─ ─

"─ ─ Wait! There are signs of a crowd approaching King's Landing!

Gil sent a warning to the party, and Wayne noticed shortly afterwards.

It's not so neatly lined up, but there's a group coming at us in line.

It is not a raid scale, etc. More people.

It's like an army, and it's like we're going to war.

Given that there is the Old King's Capital ahead of them, the army's destination would be the Old King Werth's Capital.

For what purpose are they marching toward the abandoned capital with only monsters?

It's hard to think of that as a player.

It would be impossible to summon so many players without using the official SNS, and if you had been using the official SNS, you would have been talking about something. No matter how much I've refrained from writing lately, it's not like I haven't seen it.

"What is that... It's not just that."

"... I don't know either. From the direction they're headed, it looks like they're not at least an army from the Holy City."

"That's right. I didn't hear about the dispatch of troops from the Holy City and the Holy Amarier Empire...."

If Beam, one of the heads of state, doesn't know about it, it still has nothing to do with the Holy Empire.

Were there forces within the former Wells kingdom that had no connection with the Holy Empire, but could still have prepared that many troops?

"─ ─ Is that a beast? Perhaps we should continue the war?

"Go on, Wealth and Pairé didn't do it directly! That's a declaration of war, but if you're going to attack, it's either Portley or Shape!

"We need to get past the Hills in order to get into Portree.

I mean, it's not just the Beast. There are few human beings... but there are also elves. "

A mixed army. Why is there no dwarf? "

"Is it simply because the shape with many dwarves is so far away, or is it because the dwarf cannot be a member..."

As we speak, the army is getting closer and closer.

It's already a difficult distance to escape.

If you can't make it easy, you have no choice but to return to death.

Considering that the monsters here weren't so strong, or that they haven't earned much in battle lately, it hurts to be honest with Waynes these days.

"When I get here, I'll have to ask directly... Worst case scenario?

"Worst case scenario?

"If that army is a regular army of some country, and fighting is inevitable. You should decide whether to resist, whether to rescue without resistance, and how to respond."

Gil, whose liver rests on the tank, often throws himself on Wayne and Spicy Pollack Roe lists for final judgment, but this is how he prepares the way for that judgment.

If that army were a regular army, resisting would be hostile to the country.

I can't decide right away if I don't have a country on my mind, but I don't have time for that.

Gil asks if he is prepared to turn a country into an enemy, even if there is a country Wayne doesn't know about.

Normally, it would be wiser to risk your life without resistance.

The player's life is light. The penalty of 10% experience is heavy, but it is not so irrecoverable.

But the existence of Beam, the sacred empire town, is a problem.

Even if she died here, it would still be good if the matter didn't go public.

If that fact becomes public, even if we do not turn this mysterious army against us, we may turn the Holy Empire against us.

Wayne and the others surrendered and were killed, because it's the same thing that Beam-chan's identity is offered to them. In a sense, it's like they're just running away with a respawn.

However, it is not good to resist and damage the opponent.

If Beam's presence here determines that his actions are the will of the Holy Empire, there could be a conflict between that army and the Holy Empire.

"Damn, I should have run the minute I found it."

"I can't help it. Worst case scenario, it's up to Beam what we do. If we succeed, it could become an international problem surrounding the Holy Empire."

I'm sorry to throw a decision, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Both Gil and Spicy Pollack Roe are staring at Beam with a mysterious look, as Wayne decides to follow Beam's judgment.

The beam showed the appearance of thinking with her eyes closed for a while, but eventually she opened her eyes and answered.

"─ ─ First of all, if they're going to take over the Old King's City, they can't leave."

If you are aiming for the city in the army, it is likely that you will be suppressed by military power.

I wonder if there are any forces that have gained control of this city, where only monsters now live.

"No way... no, but..."

"What is it, Akita? Do you know him?"

"Indeed, the First Prince of Wealth has not been confirmed dead."

That day.

Wayne and the others fought against the bewildered king.

The end of the battle was decided by Septum, but it was certainly the Second Prince who was killed by Septum's instant death magic.

I don't know much about the First Prince, but if he's not dead,

No, if you think about it, there would be no one here but First Prince Wealth.

Beam-chan, who seems to have thought of that, says to squeeze it out.

"─ ─ If it was the First Prince, it would be the ghost of the Kingdom of Wealth. We, the Holy Amarier Empire, are nothing but enemies to the Kingdom of Wealth. If that's the case, I just got an understanding from Hasselah and the others in Fletcher that we could have a fight here.

I'm sorry about you guys, but it's probably impossible to be calm... "
