Golden Experience

Episode 506: General Disaster Response

"─ ─ After all, it's bad at night, so there aren't many Gentiles."

"Aren't you sleeping in an inn in this city and a campsite outside the city? I think if we just make this noise, it'll just happen."

"Ah, that's what Gentiles sleep like. Basically nothing happens."

"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, nothing happened to Blanc."

"... what are you doing while I'm sleeping..."

As I discussed with Merisand, I raided Ricebach again after the sun went down.

However, although sailors and guards appeared in the defense, the number of players was small.

As long as the event is a defensive battle, this is natural. If you want to earn money and you have to fight the monster that raids, and you're packing it into the city in anticipation of it, it's a reasonable decision to log out for a break at a time when the raid is unlikely.

And even if you were watching the night raid, unlike the NPC, you couldn't help it as long as you were asleep. You won't wake up naturally when you hear loud sounds like half-bells or bronze.

However, several players were participating in the midnight defense as to what it meant to be logged in at night. If they spread the word about the raid with SNS or something, the sleeping players will wake up soon.

Bran's goal is not to destroy Rice Bach, but to grow his players, so I don't want him to.

However, it was Bran's idea and had nothing to do with Merisand, who suggested "rejecting the original."

"Hahaha! Nothing! What happened to daylight power? It's as if it's untouchable!

Thanks to the cool temperatures, Mellow and Oannes also landed on Aha Ishke, carrying out destruction activities with the sword and magic in their hands.

There are many lodgings near the harbor, whether for sailors or not. Some of those buildings had already collapsed.

Assuming that the early winners were buried in a well-located accommodation, the players staying in that accommodation would have been preparing early for the event. The player who put so much emphasis on the event that Bran planned, and that's why I'm so happy.

But reality is heartless.

Bran's gratitude was restored to the players in the form of violence by Merisand.

"Looks like some Gentiles are dead, but is that good?

"It's not good enough to say it's good, but it can't be helped. There are a lot of camps outside of the city, and I think it's a mistake to have people in the city."

"Well, even if he dies, he'll come back soon."

Nevertheless, if the inn, which is the point of Respawn, is destroyed, it cannot be revived from there.

I don't know where they logged out before they stayed at the inn, but if they succeed, they may be sent back to another city, another region.

I have to say thank you in many ways, but it seems that there are disturbances everywhere on the continent with event bonuses, and if it seems impossible to come back, please do your best there.

Merisand seems to have prioritized the destruction of facilities and buildings, and has not dared to make residents wake up and flee.

Of course, the sailors and guards approaching have been dealt with well, but non-combatants have missed it.

It will be a matter of priority rather than gentleness. It's just that making the city unrecognizable is a priority over attacking those who are no different, whether they're here or not.

"It might be a ship, but the pier and wharf have been destroyed, and I wonder if we can use this place as a trading hub for a while."

The Kingdom of Mermaids stands in the way to get players to the Western continent. Then you can use the Kingdom of the Mermaids to train the players first.

It was an event planned with that in mind, but it ended up closing the way to the Western continent.

This is what happens when you fall.

"... well, okay. I don't think there's any intercontinental trade, but the harbor itself is in the Oral Kingdom. Worst case scenario, let Lyla do something with her powers."

Rather, it is possible that Lyla has already started preparing for this development.

As I watched the destroyed streets, there was finally reinforcement from the outside of the city.

Players.

Only the residential area is likely to be able to protect us now, but it would be better than doing nothing.

"Ah, speaking of which, what about true love?

"─ ─ Hmm? Yeah, well, he was in jail. It's a bit of a drag."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't say true love... But it might be time for the Gentiles to come from outside, so maybe you should tell Iara-san."

"Why dare you step on a mine? If it were Iara, I'd happily destroy the city."

I didn't even remember my face, so I didn't know who it was.

But if you ask me, it's certainly not Merisand's advantage to let TKDSG meet Iara. It's not in Blanc either.

It can be said that his role is over when the players are given a choice of action, and it may be a hassle to keep him in jail.

From a distance, there are players fighting back to intercept the mermaids who have invaded the city.

And some players get in the way of trying to stop them.

Those who spoke to the mermaids during the last raid. But how about coming from the same direction and starting hostilities after the raid? I wonder if they get along while there are no raids. I may not be able to keep fighting and I may not be able to help it, but I can feel it from here on out.

"I don't understand why the Gentiles... Well, I don't mind splitting up on my own.

With this state of affairs, we will destroy this port completely by tonight. That way we won't be bothered by the shadows of our ships. "

"I don't know...."

The event will be over if I get caught in pieces by tonight.

There is no bonus period set for this event. At the time of application, "The Destruction of Rice Bach in Minato District" was set as the trigger, so if Rice Bach is judged to be extinct, the event will be announced at that time.

Of course, the maximum deadline is delimited, so even if it is not destroyed, the event period does not last indefinitely. The best part is that Ricebach will not perish and the mermaids will not give up the raid. In this case, the bonus period can be extended by up to four days.

"Um, Mary Sun. It's a big raid, and even if it's over soon, you'll miss it, so why don't you relax a little bit? Look, whatever you say, Mary Sun has been having fun here lately, right?

Even if it was the intimidating encounter that triggered it, if it was really just that, it wouldn't feel so good. I tried, but I couldn't help it even if they thought I hated listening.

"... hmm. I can't deny that, but I'm not alone in this raid. It doesn't have to be a human city like this. Even after you destroy it, you just have to come and play freely.

What, you weren't gonna come back after this raid?

I was seen with the eyes of a discarded puppy. Well, I can see that TKDSG has gone crazy. If you take such an attitude with this beautiful face and beautiful voice, you can't help it. I just have to say that I don't know that it fell on Iara at the same time, not on Merisand. Maybe I just met Iara before Melissand did.

"─ ─ What are you talking about? That's not true! That's it, Mary Sun and we are friends, best friends, Mabudachi! I'd like to introduce you to another friend, and if this happens, you can leave the city and go somewhere else with me!

"... hmm. Well, if that's what your lord says, you can hang out with him! Then we'd better destroy the city and get rid of it tonight!

I saw Geraldine sighing. No, this can't be helped.

The fact that Geraldine didn't stop while watching the interaction right next to him meant that he didn't agree with Blanc.

Geraldine seemed to have a good salt response to Merisand, but she liked it.

View the collapsed streets.

Bran and Geraldine have already solved their transformation.

I've known mermaids since before the raid, so it's problematic to assume that they were attacked, but if the raid started and the mermaids appeared on the stage before they came into contact, it's fine.

That is because it is no different from other players and NPCs in the Central Continent. It's just a friendly or not.

After seeing the mermaids raid the city, Magnum decided it would be useful as a combat force and contacted Magnum to form an alliance.

I prepared such a cover story and included it among the executives of the Mermaid Kingdom.

Standing in ruins for a while, players who died with the city's collapse came running.

"Oh, you....! Magnum Nowem! Why are you here?

Amateur. There are other players that I often see. Players who want to know how warm their hands are, or parties Rare cares about.

Was the destruction of King Pairé the last time I saw them officially?

"─ ─ Ah. Uh, it's been a long time, huh? Certainly the people who were hanging around at their feet when Septune-chan pecked some rock castle."

"Sweetheart!?

Shit.

He was always concerned about replacing "rare" with "septum".

"... you're very close. You don't call me that among your people?

"─ ─ Mr. Nowem. I certainly don't think that's the right way to call it for someone as powerful as us."

Geraldine caught my eye. This is totally Bran's mistake and I can't help it.

"Who is that?! A new member of Magnum!

Geraldine glanced at a player she didn't even know.

The next moment, a bright red spear protruded from the earth and skewered the player. When I look at it, it's like it hurts and disappears into light.

"You should be careful how you talk. If you want to live long. Oh, I don't suppose you would have died. But just saying" I won't die "doesn't appeal to me anymore."

No mercy.

However, this may be a common reaction as a so-called "disaster".

Certainly there is no reason for Geraldine to forgive a man of this magnitude.

"I don't have a stepsister to tell you otherwise, but I'll let Norwegian answer here.

I'm sure you've heard of it. The legend of a true vampire who ruled the western continent from here. "

Many of you have heard from the NPC about the Six Disasters and the Count of Unknown Gravemarks.

The players seemed to have figured out who Geraldine was.

"Hmm, why would a true vampire... help Magnum Melm...?

The player asks, "I'm afraid."

"What are you gonna do when you ask me that? Does that have anything to do with you?

The player shut up after being told to hiccup.

That's true, and I don't want to be too honest with you. True vampires are cooperating with Magnum because they have a sexual interest in Septum.

Well then, what about your mermaid ─ ─

The finger of the player pointing at Merisand flew across his arm. In the evening book, water splashes scattered sparkling under the moonlight. Merisand cut it off with skills like a current cutter or something. Based on the players' reaction, it appears that they could not even see the preliminary motion at all. That's a disastrous monster.

"They can't learn. I thought Geraldine just said that. I'm trying to be careful how I talk."

I'm not merciful either, but I can say I'm kind enough not to kill you.

"I am Merisand, queen of the sea kingdom of Canalkia. This time I cleared this port with the intention of mocking the foolish humans who broke their covenant.

I've known these two since. I don't know what to say to each other, because there were horses. I was just about to lay the foundation for cooperation. "

"Hmm! Excuse me. What does the covenant say? Would you mind telling me?

Amatein correctly questioned Merisand in a polite tone. Unlike the unknown player who said so much and got rid of it.

"No, I've stopped expecting humans. Not exactly what I said. I tried to crush the port this time, but it was much easier than making a covenant and binding my actions. From now on, in cooperation with Magnum, we decided to eliminate the factors that affect our living environment by force."

"... Magnum Norwem! Didn't you need the power to crush the Golden Dragon? If you destroy us, it will be ─ ─"

Bran could have used his power to match the other two knots, but even if it shrunk more than necessary, it would be troublesome to talk. It's okay to deal with it after we talk.

"Are you mistaken? I don't know what Septum said, but we do need strength. But this tragedy tells the whole story.

We cannot draw in both opposing factions. Then it's only natural to speak to the stronger one. In any case, Canalkia is stronger than you, and I will help you. "

Actually, it's different.

Players need to work hard to ensure that the weak humans of the Central Continent are not extinct.

However, it does not change even if it does not lay down a cooperation system. If the Golden Dragon is resurrected, they will do their best.

Indeed, considering Janet and the others, if we were to be allies, we would be able to do a lot of strengthening. However, we did not intend to enhance the player's hostile reaction to the point of being gentle.

"The point is, you guys don't have enough power. Mr. Septum ─ ─ I tried to help Magnum, but the Golden Dragon is still alive, and if you don't want to rush at that time, shouldn't you train from now on? At least I think it's more constructive than hanging out with Norwegian here."

That's it.

The event ended much sooner than expected, but I should still have earned some experience. Enlightenment would have been achieved. This time, this is all I can do.

I gaze at Merisand and turn her horse's neck towards the sea.

"─ ─ Ah, wait! I want to help Magnum! What should I do in that case?

"After that, come closer to the mermaids ─ ─"

"If you'd rather be a mermaid ─ ─"

"More than that, my leader..."

The amateurs are pushed down and many players scream. I think it's more than when I was breaking up. Are you saying that there was a group of Mermaid Likes and Magnum Cooperatives who didn't wear them?

"Ugh. I'm sorry. I'm not in charge of that. Septum, uh, Octo-san, or Ursus Meles. I don't know where he is right now."

Rare is supposed to be in the Western continent and everyone else is in the Portley region, but Rare can easily find out where everyone else is on the SNS. There was a new thread that was definitely mid-sized event shit.

Ignore the pursuing players and return to Canalkia.

He nodded to Melissand that he would introduce me.

Don't you have many friends?
