Golden Experience

Episode 501: The item is cursed

"No, stop it! Gwah!"

By the massive amount of arrows and magic released from the shore, the man tied up became like a hare for every horse on which he was carried, and disappeared into light. Later, the horse's body floated.

"... I don't know... I attacked my people without hesitation... A demon or a demon..."

"Hmm. I know both demons and demons, but I don't suppose they'd hesitate to shoot their allies."

"Reasonable judgment. As I said, Gentiles will not die if they are killed. That's the proof that the light went out today. I wonder if he's back in Canalkia by now."

A man appeared from an open hatch when he heard a sudden scratch of water from the side that Geraldine was talking about.

"... there you go. Killing him won't kill him, so he won't be a hostage. That's what reasonable judgment means."

"... ugh, that was a mistake."

"Well, it's hard to tell a Gentile from anything else. The locals might have taken him hostage. It's easy to tell when you get used to it."

"Oh, by the way, how do I tell?

"It's easy. That's what I just said. Kill it and you'll see. If you stay dead, you're local, if you disappear, you're Gentile."

"You can't be a hostage!

But it wasn't entirely useless.

The man who came out of the hatch jumped into the sea, swimming straight to the shore. It seems that the prison that I would have respawned remained open.

He then rushed right into the middle of the battle, holding his shields and guarding the players from attacking the horses.

"What are you doing, TKDSG? You lost your blood!

I can't remember where I saw it, but a familiar man screams.

It seems that the man tied up is called TKDSG. A player whose name appears frequently on SNS. Somehow you're the leader of a large clan. Speaking of which, I was called a leader earlier.

"─ ─ Sorry, Amatein! But I am, I am!

While not attacking itself, TKDSG repeatedly prevents players from attacking.

It was meaningless and unchanging from the whole battlefield, but the situation of famous players standing as enemies seemed to have had little psychological impact on other players, and the hands of the attackers were getting dull.

"... I don't know what happened to Aurei. I'm so glad."

"... considering Iara's state of mind, maybe you should have stayed dead."

As TKDSG moves around to protect the monsters, the players loosen their attackers' hands and the birds attack from the sky.

This has caused widespread damage on the players' side, but they will not die and there are no penalties now. Immediately respawn from city lodgings and suburban tents and return to the front lines.

"I don't have any sharpness...."

"Hmm. I don't think we'll be able to compete unless we destroy the inn or the tent outside the city. I wonder if this victory will destroy the whole city."

"There's not a lot of combat power we can take off. This damage is virtually non-existent, but we will not be resurrected soon. I'm not poor like this."

Melows and Oannes can also join the fight if there is plenty of water, but there are no players until then. No matter how much water there is, in the shallow waters, mellowers are wasted by high water and temperatures.

That's probably why I didn't attack the harbor in earnest, even though I thought it was depressing. Sea kingdom Canalkia is inherently unfit to attack land. The battlefield does not mesh.

Settlements full of defenceless villagers can be ravaged, but if mercenaries come out in earnest, they will be defeated without suffering.

"I don't think I'm going to be impoverished just because I have to run offshore when the wear and tear gets intense, but I'm sure there's no decision to hit...."

"Even if I run off to sea... If he dies, he'll be back in Canalkia, right? I'd like to leave if I could...."

I know how you feel, but that won't be possible. It's like it's been marked. Unless TKDSG logs out somewhere on land, he'll be back in jail no matter how far he gets.

"It's like a cursed item..."

"Punishment for cowardly thinking about taking hostages. I should have fought fairly. It's because it's so powerful."

"I don't want to tell you to be fair, but that might be true....."

However, it is a big deal that players arrived here honorably without emotional problems. There is no further disturbance.

In the words of a player named Saumen or something, that TKDSG didn't even get in touch through a friend chat or SNS, so I guess they're really going to play for the mermaids.

I don't know what's waiting for him, and I don't know how long his feelings will be on the mermaid's side.

"─ ─ Wake up! You idiot! You won't be rewarded for being on the monster's side!

The player's tank rushed against the TKDSG with a shield and sealed the movement.

I said a good thing about that. Indeed, it is unlikely that the thoughts of TKDSG will be rewarded. You've already caused enough turmoil, and if you give up here and turn back to that side again, you can retreat without corruption.

"Don't get me wrong, Gil! I'm not asking for anything in return! I'm just doing what my mind tells me! That's true love!

The daughter of Oannes, named Iala, has died in her eyes.

This is equivalent to a declaration that does not give up even if it is shaken. Honestly, I'm scared.

"TKDSG! The monsters will destroy the city! A lot of NPCs are gonna die! You're in on it!

"If you keep saying that, you'll kill all the mermaids! I'm not in the fight right now, but look! You're pointing your swords at all those beautiful mermaids! I mean, it might be nice if Amatein had a real girlfriend, but I'm single, damn it!

"Wait, wait! Really, I don't have a girlfriend. Who do you mean?

"Real hands are warm and cool anyway."

"─ ─ Shine Lance!

Gwah!

TKDSG disappeared in light again.

Geraldine, who was watching the situation, leaked slightly.

"... what an ugly Gentile I am."

"... no. I wonder what to do. It's like some rare examples."

However, the words of TKDSG did not resonate on the battlefield.

Some of the players who heard the cry of their souls now saw mermaids soaking in the sea, saw players, and after seeing mermaids again, they started attacking players who might be defending the city.

"No, what! Calm down! The enemy is that way!

"Uuuuuu! When I thought about it, if it was Macho's sailors and a beautiful mermaid's sister, I'd better protect her!

"Yes! We don't want anything in return! What we're looking for is eye bliss!

"Protect the peace of the sea! Humans, get out of the sea!

"There's no Despennah after all, and sometimes it's fun!

The players are breaking up as they scream.

The man thought it was this, and when he looked at it, there were fewer but fewer women players. What kind of layers?

However, it was certain that Bran's words had just been denied by them. Answer Geraldine with Melisando's face pointing at Blanc.

"... a rare example was a lie. Looks like there's a certain number of ugly ones..."

"─ ─ I mean, it's time to leave. That man is fine. You can tell him not to leave prison. Let's lower the canal kia."

Whether you noticed the slow-moving Canalkia, or the mermaids who started retreating, the broken players jumped into the sea and chased after Canalkia.

But there is too much distance for humans to swim to reach. Canalkia ran gently off the coast and sank into the sea.

"What was the last Gentile I chased after?"

"They must have looked at us with their eyes on us. Oh, I see. I wonder if the female player wanted to be a mermaid."

Is there a route from human beings and elves to mermaids?

You might not be able to do it normally, but you might be able to do it with special items.

"Anyway, the first wave is over. When do you want to go next?

"You're still doing it! You've warned me enough!

"I told you to turn it down. That port is still alive. Humans are idiots. I'll come back when I forget I warned you."

"... even if I attack again, I will restore my strength. And we need to think of a plan to destroy the structures on land. And it's hot in the daytime, so next time you attack, it's night."

"Speaking of which, that's what you said. Why did you leave during the day?

I thought you guys specified it!

You may say that this raid ended successfully.

Nothing was gained between the two factions, but Bran's aim was to get the players to gain experience, so even a fight would be a success at that point.

I was able to induce PvP without resorting to it, and it can be said to be more than expected.

I have seen other SNS, and it seems that a large PvP with event bonuses is also happening in Portree, and the Brands event is a huge boom.

"─ ─ Fugo!

"Mr. Blanc, face."

"Don't play with my face!
