Golden Experience

Episode 478: The Drifter

"─ ─ I wonder if that's the case.

Miss Zenobia wasn't originally involved in running the underground ranch in the underground kingdom, and you're the only ones who can handle it. For now, tentatively, but only the leader will decide.

Please, Mauricio. "

"I'll take care of it, Professor Etty Forest."

Professor Mori Etty and Zenobia visited the underground kingdom and instructed each other on the future management of the kingdom.

Since Mauricio and the others had already been informed of Zenobia's devolution, the underground kingdom reconstruction project was proceeding in concert.

But for Zenobia, Mauricio and the others managed the Lord's ranch on their own without knowing. I don't know if I can really teamwork with them.

So the professor took Zenobia himself to the underground kingdom, and made them pass under each other.

Zenobia seemed to have not seen his men since he was resurrected, and he seemed to be gossiping a lot.

I thought it was someone of a similar nature to Lyla, but I think this kind of place is close to rare.

"Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, but please call me Ursus Meles when I look like this."

Yes, Mr. Ursus Meles.

Would it be better if I told Tanuki to call him Chi Ying-han?

But if you do, you will no longer be called Professor Mori Etty. When I talk to Magnum's face, I'm called Professor by acronym.

"─ ─ Should I do the same?

"That's right. Thank you for calling me that in public."

"Okay, let's do it. By the way, why are you calling Jerry, Miss Geraldine, and I'm Miss Zenobia?

"I was told to call her that. If you want Miss Zenobia to call me, I will."

Zenobia had a slightly dazzling expression.

"Ah, that's exactly what Jerry was going to say... No, I'm fine. It's not a gala. In other words, I don't think Jerry really wants to call you that, so I think you can stop wearing it at the right time."

"Keep it in mind."

Though I answered, I didn't intend to stop until I was told something by myself.

That's why the relationship won't get any worse, but I can't help but lose the mood of a true progenitor vampire who is overwhelmingly stronger than a professor. There is a risk of death even if it is just a slip.

Considering that, no matter how much direct combat is not a fortune, it might be better to strengthen it so that it can withstand their climax.

"Well, that's it for now.

I have to go now, but what about Miss Zenobia? "

"I don't know what to do. I wonder what to do.

Nothing in particular, and there are a lot of Gentiles coming from this continent right now. If you do too much extra work, Rare will hate you...

What about Ursus Meles? Where are we going?

"As long as it's not public, I don't mind being a professor.

I am thinking of going to a small island between this continent and the central continent. I received reports that something interesting had flowed there. I thought I'd go and have a look. "

"Hmm. Can I come with you?

The professor thought a little.

Unlike Lyla, Zenobia stands out because she can't hide horns or 'evil hands'. Even if you follow me, it will only stand out in vain and nothing good will happen.

What if I left Zenobia behind in the Underground Kingdom?

The two strangely dressed players who were witnessing the battle against the Golden Monster tree are probably still in this city.

They also saw Zenobia, and if they saw Zenobia in the city, they would suspect and make contact with Magnum.

It would be nice if it were a gentle contact, but it's like shooting an arrow at a rare person suddenly during a fight. It is not necessarily a gentle contact.

I don't think Zenobia will stand behind them, but it may give them extra information.

Considering that, it would still be better to stay with Zenobia for a while.

"─ ─ Hmm. That's right. Then I'll have Miss Zenobia come with me. Then I can't fly in the Summon Monster...

I had no choice but to take the ship ─ ─ "

"No, no, I'm taking care of the professor, and I'll handle this.

Are you sure Tanuki is the main body? Try to transform a little. I'll hold it and fly. [M]

You were talking about the island in the east, right? If we can fly from the edge of the continent, we should be able to go there in half a day. "

"Wait, my body is just this cool gentleman ─ ─"

Zenobia stands out no matter what.

If you want to hide all the conspicuous parts, you have to wear all the armor.

Then the professor quickly decided to have the ducks in the aerial garden make metal armor to hide Zenobia's body.

Although it was impossible to complete it immediately, the use of skills resulted in a considerable amount of work in half a day.

Speaking of what the professor and Zenobia were doing in the meantime, they were sleeping in the village behind the island, in the mayor's house.

Zenobia, who "flew" without rest, absolutely had to get some sleep on the system, and so did the professor who was flying with her in her arms.

The professor swore that he was more worn out than Zenobia actually flew.

We need to get on a vehicle that's never windproof again.

Shipsickness seems to have been prevented with stats, but it was not adapted to travel in the sky. Alternatively, Zenobia may have determined an anomalous attack on the professor. If so, it certainly cannot be prevented by a professor.

I left this settlement untouched when I visited it before, but it's impossible to keep my own defenseless avatar in someone else's house.

The professor decided to use the village chief's family as a "mission" and the house as a base for activities on the island.

It was the village chief who was worried about the volcanic anomaly when he visited before, but the anomaly itself seems to have continued intermittently since then.

However, there was no actual harm, so it seemed that the village was gradually melting into the everyday landscape.

"The armor looks just right. Don't look surprised. Surprisingly, because the style is good, it basically looks good no matter what you wear."

"It doesn't seem to have much effect as an equipment item, but the design is not bad."

The design of the armor is based on the assumption that the horn of the Evil King is the main base.

If it is worn by someone other than the Evil King, a large slit will open on the head. As a full-body armor, it will have a fatal defect, but if it is worn by the Evil King, the corners will fit into the slit, so it looks good.

"So, I guess I should just put this on and follow the professor."

"I'm going to set it up as my escort, so I hope you behave like that.

At least you should avoid speaking in public. Conversations are fragile. "

The professors, who had left the village chief's house, went to the fishing village instead of the port of the island with proper greetings to the settlers.

Genocide cricket reported on the fishing village where the professors' boat stopped during the last voyage.

I have been taken up by traveling and resting, and it has been a little while since I counted from the day I received the report.

However, the interesting thing that drifted is not the type that disappears in a few days.

Still seems to be staying in the fishing village.

It was the player that made the flow.

"─ ─ Hi, nice to meet you. I was originally a researcher on the Central Continent called Ursus. I've been staying here for a while to observe a volcano on this island, but when I heard that people had arrived in our village, I came to see them with interest.

Are you a good fit for that drifter?

The professor sat on the beach in the middle of nowhere and called out to the two men and women looking at the sea.

The man looked back, and when he saw the professor, he stood up and sanded himself.

"Oh, I'm Amateur, a mercenary in the Central Continent. That hand is warm over here.

From the Central to the Western continents. I was in a bit of a disaster.... the flotilla has been destroyed and we are in this mess. There were a lot of other crew members, but they got lost. Some of them have been confirmed dead, but others have not been contacted.

I've been taking care of this village for two days. Trading ships that come and go on a regular basis will definitely stop by the island, so I was hoping to negotiate when the next ship stops by. I'm waiting for it now. "

After all, this player seems to have survived recklessly attempting to cross the Canary Sea in a convoy. I don't know how many of them were on the boat, but it looks like only two of them made it. Are the others dead or have they been sent elsewhere?

I thought this might happen when I saw a large trade convoy in Ricebach at SNS.

There was a legend that the Canary Sea had a kingdom of Canary Kia ruled by a mermaid queen.

If they don't like the sun's rays being blocked by flotillas across the ocean, if they still control the Canalore Sea, then the large flotillas can't cross the ocean safely.

But this is the amateur.

I remember getting involved on SNS, but I've never met him in person.

The woman with a smile next to her is probably warm as she mentioned.

It was not until I met him that I realized that I felt more like a professor because my hands were warm.

They may not think the same thing, and you need to be a little careful with your manners and behavior.

"Is the name Sonotegaataka? That's a very unusual name.

By the way, you said the convoy, right? The catastrophe may have been, but was it attacked by a swarm of mermaids or something?

"... did you ask anyone in this village? I'm sure you haven't spoken much yet."

Amatein stood on guard.

Looks like you got it right.

His hands are warm and he stares at the professor next to Amatein.

I thought it would be enough to stare at it, but this is different. Instead of staring, he is observing the professor.

The warm hand murmured to check while looking at the professor.

"... an old gentleman with a brown Inverness coat, monocle and stick..."

"... what's wrong, your hands are warm?"

I see, it's gone.

Amatein and his warm hands belonged to the same clan as the other two perverts. I don't know how it is now, but it seems that there is still interaction in this state.

No, before that, I think there was such a description in the SNS magnum sled.

I was not particularly vigilant because I thought there would be countless people dressed like that, but it seems that the outlook was sweet.

"Excuse me, but are you...?"

"─ ─ It's a swarm of seabirds!

"─ ─ No horses from the sea!

At that time, the shoreline became obviously noisy.

Amatein was about to say something, his hands were warm, and the professor turned his attention to you.

Zenobia stood in front of the professor, either because it was an escort.

It feels like there is only discomfort in the word horse from the sea or what the hell you're talking about, but when you look at the coast, there is a scene that certainly can only be said that way.

A swarm of blue horses emerge from the sea, chasing the villagers around the beach.

It seems that the villagers who were fishing on the beach were eaten by horses one after the other. That horse seems to be carnivorous.

"Kelpy!? There are monsters like that!

Amatein screams.

It certainly doesn't look that way, but it would be different if it came out of the sea. I don't know about this game, but Kelpy is often said to live in the river.

I did an "appraisal" and it was still different.

"No, that's Aha Ishke. Seabirds are boufree. A sea monster attacking people."

Bouffrey is said to have been transformed by Aha Ishke, but it seems to be treated differently in this game.

However, it seems that there is a symbiotic relationship with each other, and Bouffrey also keeps busy the fishermen that Aha Ishke has left to eat.

Both monsters have high abilities and can be dealt with adequately by players, but villagers who produce fish are unlikely to be able to compete.

There are also many opponents.

This village won't work anymore.

It may be dangerous for the professor's village to see seabirds fly to the interior of the island.

"Do you know about that monster?

"Well, it's just knowledge. Instead, it seems that it is no longer in a situation where we can talk in a breathtaking way. I wanted to ask you something, but I'll give it another chance.

Maybe you should run too. [M] There's a lot of them out there. "

"... no, thanks to the people of this village for their help. I can't abandon you."

I see. As for me, I don't have anybody to talk to anymore, and I wanted you to stay alive.

If that's the case, do your best. I'll see you later. "

The professor turned his heel and began walking towards the back of the island.

They are players anyway. Respawn even if she dies.

If you were attacked by a mermaid, you should listen to it again when you can afford it.

But no matter how much trouble the professor wanted to escape, the monsters wouldn't miss it.

Bouffrey jumped in without attacking some tall professors.

"─ ─ Ah, is this my job?"

Zenobia quickly reached out and caught Bouffrey's head as it flew in.

Vuffleys are considerably larger in size than humans, but they are not Zenobian enemies who are overwhelmingly better at their stats.

Zenobia grabbed Bouffrey's neck and threw the corpse there as he separated his head and torso.

I caught all the strange birds coming after me and tore them apart with their suspicious powers.

I have prepared a sword to match my armor, so I would like you to use it if possible.

But I want to appreciate that I didn't use the "evil hands" hidden under my cape.

"Nah, what a force...!

"No, I didn't see any LPs at all, so I thought the guards were a decoration...."

They saw it in "True Eyes."

Amatein and her warm hands warned the professor, probably because she couldn't see Zenobia's LP.

Like professors, Zenobia didn't seem to like to fight directly, saying that the first skill acquired using the experience gained was in the covert system. Therefore, it is not possible to see Zenobia's LP with the "true eye".

"There is no such thing as a lifeless person. She is also taught a secret skill. Sometimes I need to be escorted. I'll warn you, old lady, but if anyone can't see the vitality at all, you should be a little more vigilant at that point."

Those skills were also used by the two perverts, and the amateurs should know as much as they exist.

But I don't think I can afford to talk anymore.

You sniffed the smell of the blood of your allies, or most of the monsters who identified Zenobia, who killed Bouffrey, as their enemy came to us.

I won't say I can't escape, but it's hard to retreat without exposing my hand.

"... I can't help it. I'm sorry, but please."

"It's okay because it's not that big a deal. Besides, about my hard work ─ ─"

"I know. I will report it properly."
