Golden Experience

Episode 88: Before the Showdown

Wayne didn't think he could have the experience of entering a place called Royal Castle, etc.

Of course, that happened in another game, but when it comes to this game, the level of creation is different.

The interior was also majestic, with a view from the outside and feeling it was a imposing majestic castle.

He follows the knight and walks, but gradually goes up, into the back. The hallway is huge but packed in, and I don't feel like I can go home at all when they tell me to go home alone anymore. If it's the duration of the event, it's faster to die and go back. If this is the case, you should have logged out at the Castle Town Inn. If he dies now, he'll be roulette again.

Along the way, the gaze of the different people is getting harsher. Probably not an area where mercenaries and the like could come in, if they were meant to be.

I don't know why the knight is bringing Wayne so far, but does he think that even one knight can control it if it's about Wayne? As far as I can tell, that doesn't seem to be the wrong thing to do. I can tell you that's the knight of the king's capital.

"Excuse me! I brought one of the vault holders!

Eventually, in front of a heavy door that arrived, the knight knocked and walked in because permission to enter was given. Wayne followed suit.

"Excuse me..."

"Oh, there you are! Lawson, is it just one of you with the vault?

"Ha. Apparently no one has been shown a face in the union since yesterday"

"Uhm. I hear that more mercenaries with vaults are usually cooperating in the defensive battles taking place across the border. I don't know if you're coming around. For now, the capital is at peace."

I was recommended a soft-looking sofa with an intermediate design. As Wayne sat down on the couch as he was told, tea was just served.

When is it going to be difficult to use the reception room behind a castle like this?

The servant-like person who served me tea left the room, to be honored.

"Thank you for coming first. My name is Douglas O'Cornell, and I am the prime minister of this kingdom of Hills. Regards."

The Chancellor.

It is a big man. A mercenary is not in a good position to meet.

Why did Wayne-- No, I wonder you called the players.

"─ Ah, uh, my name is Wayne. I don't have a last name or anything. I'm a mercenary. Best regards,"

"Hmm. Lord Wayne wonders why he was called here"

"... Yes"

"In fact, there are now demonic raids across the kingdom. My country was chased by that response, and I haven't slept since yesterday either"

That's just an appeal I haven't slept with. Wayne often does this to VR Lehman's friends, but I didn't know there was such a culture in the in-game world. Mysterious intimacy sprouts.

Raids everywhere are definitely events. Wayne nodded.

"But the truth is, things go back about ten days."

I don't know about it. First ear.

The event should have begun yesterday. Does that mean there was a set-up for the operation ten days ago?

Sure enough, back then, when the details of the event were announced, or a little before that.

"Ten days ago, it was announced that His Holiness the General Bishop of the Holy Church of Hills, the national religion of our country, had bestowed a divine

"Is it a divine..."

"Dear Left, A sacrament is often the content of a general episcopal sacrament or episcopal seat that involves an overall trend (excuse me) in a strange word given by God"

The whole world. Does that mean something like a system message? Wayne doesn't remember anything, so maybe it's a trick to announce the event for NPC.

"According to this, a new" enemy of humanity "was born"

Enemy of mankind.

Wayne didn't come with a pin, so the prime minister gave me an explanation.

According to this, the enemy of humanity is a special demon with a total of six in various parts of the world, powerful enough to easily destroy the continent with one of its beings. It is called a "disaster" because it is not even possible to resist in the power of man.

Apparently there are great demons, true ancestral vampires, etc., but only archangels of them have this country fought before.

Even so, the archangel himself will never appear on the table, but seems to strike the king's capital and the big city at random with an angel of his subordination.

Of such calamity, the seventh was born.

"Perhaps that would trigger this great invasion of demons"

I see, I thought. It's still a setup for the event.

Its seventh calamity and doings are the mastermind of this event, and a shrine is an announcement of the occurrence of an event flag.

"The full-scale invasion began yesterday. What the vault owners haven't seen since yesterday is probably putting relief on every city."

Wayne nodded. It fits more or less.

Wayne is the only one in the King's Capital as a result of coincidence. Because the inn to return had been destroyed, he wandered around and reached the king's capital.

"Was it? Lord Wayne to that airfaren...... Right."

In this mouthful, the Chancellor will already know that the city of Airfaren has been devastated. About a day has passed since then. I have no idea what the positional relationship is from Airfaren to this King's Capital, but if you are using, for example, a script dove, it is not strange whether it was far away or the information has been received.

But it doesn't connect to the story that Wayne was called here. It is only the border that is being attacked, and it is inconceivable that here the King's Capital will be attacked by demons, etc. I thought the fire was related to the safety of the Wang capital, but why now?

"If so, the story is quick. In fact, the seventh calamity was born in the Reeve Forest by the air farren."

Shocked. But at the same time, I feel convinced.

Ants overflowed from the Reeve Great Forest and pushed toward the city with tremendous impact.

It was not a good demon to emerge from a field-type dungeon with many beginners, such as Dr. Great Forest in SNS, etc.

Only weak ants, goblins, etc. usually appear in that forest, which is also a dungeon of unsure specifications that if you kill more than a certain amount, you will be forced back to death. Thus, these days, it was a popular place for beginner players as a tutorial dungeon where they could learn the basics of battle while at the same time providing an eye for discerning the draw.

There are also many novice players in the city of Airfaren.

However, there are rumors that Wayne is also making money in the woods from the last event winner Rae, so sometimes top tier players show up or stalker chases like Wayne. No, Wayne is definitely not a stalker or anything.

It's a big army of ants like a chunk of murder that suddenly appeared on the edge of such a downright tendency.

In an instant the city was destroyed and perhaps all players and NPCs were killed. The players should have rispawned all over the kingdom.

"Needless to say, the city of Airfaren perished in just a few moments. And just as time went by, the city of Ludo, a little further away, was swallowed up from city to city by plant-shaped demons, and disappeared. Because of the devastation almost simultaneously, and the completely different types of demons attacked, there seems to be no direct relationship, but not necessarily no impact"

The Prime Minister may well say so. I guess monsters came out of all the neighborhoods because it's an event, but the impact, or it would be that disaster that is the boss that is the key.

"And about a day after that, I mean, today. Our country's transport stronghold, the city of Lacorine, is quite far from the border, was attacked by a huge army of bees. It seems that each of the bees had an ant, and the city of Lacorine was doomed by the mysterious attack from above, unleashed by that ant."

It's that ant.

The bees held and assaulted the ants that unleashed the shells.

In this world where people don't even think about flying, it must be completely out of their imagination, such as aerial bombardment. I don't know how big the city was, but whatever the size of the city, it was probably doomed.

"... I think it's the same kind of ant that showed up in Airfaren"

"Do you still... If the ant demon that attacked Airfaren is the wretched one, don't prove that his hand has already been extended to Lacorine..."

"Well, is the city Lacorine close to here? It hasn't been that long since we fell today, has it?

Assuming that's the case, it's not surprising that this king's capital has been attacked by the time the news comes, unless the bees are slower than the pigeons, even if it's news by the pigeons.

But it didn't look like that as far as I could see from the street. Has the ordeal's subordination gone to a different place than the Wang capital?

"No, it's about eight days on foot, or nine days if you're marching. Even an early horse would take two days."

"Then give me that info with a biographical dove or something...?

"No. I sent the dove, but at the time I sent it, I know the facts of the devastation, and I haven't returned a response. It's another route to find out what's going on in that city.

As a matter of fact, about nine days ago, we formed a disaster crusader and sent him out to the Reeve Forest. "

Nine days ago, it would be a reckoning about the day after the Archbishops heard the divine

That means we formed an army as soon as we heard about the commissioning. It would not be possible for a single head of state to make such a decision without being so thoughtful or so hunted down.

Is disaster so terrible for NPCs in this world?

"The crusaders were wiped out earlier. In Lacorine."

"Become..."

"The last call from the Crusader Commander was a message pigeon that arrived this morning. The contents are whether to prioritize a disaster crusade, provide support for Lacorine, or what to do, as the Beech army is deployed in the city of Lacorine."

Does that mean I found out? But then all we know is that the city of Lacorine may have been attacked by bees in the morning. There is no certainty that the city of Lacorine has been destroyed.

"I was troubled, but the city of Lacorine abandoned, but gave priority to the crusade of disaster and hurried to Reeve Great Forest, and returned the sentence. At this point, the bees were the only ones who were attacking us, and we thought that the disaster at the heart would not have come out of the great forest, the nest."

"Is that... why? It was also possible that he had led the attack..."

"Yes or no. But this is a rule of thumb, or did I tell you about other disasters first? Only with the angels in it. We have fought.

It's a disaster called an archangel who controls the angels, but this archangel usually doesn't come out of Sky Castle, where he lives. There are rumors that because everything we meet is dead, we just haven't seen it, but at least there's not even a record of archangels leaving Sky Castle in the literature we and other countries have.

This seventh calamity has only just been born. If so, I decided not to leave my castle unnecessarily. "

It makes sense, I guess. But I wonder about that eventually. Will the crusade goal of players scattered across the continent be established as an event, such as not coming out of a one-country forest in Ichigo region?

"Ok...... But still, the crusaders abandoned the city of Lacorine, didn't they? Isn't it a little different from whether it was devastated or not?

"Uhm...... If you have a vault, you may know that a noble class like ours can have a family."

"Yes, I know."

"Then let's skip the detailed explanation. Even if the family dies, they can be resuscitated to the last place they wake from sleep an hour later. I wonder if this is good."

"Yes."

However, I have seen it in the official FAQ.

But the story flew away again. What's wrong with that? I wonder what it has to do with Lacorine's devastation.

"I left the Crusaders with three knights of my own family, who imposed a special training to keep each other under constant surveillance and chose only those who had completed it, leaving the three knights with a special potion for a month"

I can't see the story.

"The potion is a potent effect that prevents you from sleeping. The three knights I sent in will never sleep, no matter how many days the march lasts. And when he died in the march, he woke up one last time, resurrected in this king's capital."

Wayne was stunned.

Do you mean to go that far?

No, I guess I will. This is their world. It's the country they live in.

"The knight was resurrected earlier and reported to me. The report of Lacorine's devastation, and the possibility of catastrophic attacks."

It's more reliable information than this. If this were a player, they would share information via friend chat, SNS, etc., but I didn't expect NPCs that couldn't do so to communicate indirectly over long distances by such means.

But if you have already been informed by a return to the death of a knight, what were you looking for a player for? What should Wayne do now?

"I asked Lord Wayne. Call on as many of your people as possible to gather in this king's capital. Perhaps with a high probability, disaster strikes this king's capital next. It's a disaster."

"Become! Why...! What is the basis for that!

"Hmmm......"

When the prime minister looks, an earlier knight named Lawson brings a large map. It seems to be made of parchment or something. It was spread over the low table, and the Chancellor pointed to one of the points.

"Here. This is the Reeve Forest. And this is the city of Airfaren."

I've never seen a map or anything, but was it like this? I know better if you ask me. Surely this is that city. Most importantly, this fine map will need to be redrawn because there are no more cities.

"And this will be the city of Lacorine. There can be no doubt that the demons that appeared in Airfaren and Lacoline are more of their kind than raids by the same forces, that is, by disaster.

Seeing this, the city of Airfaren is situated on the western side of the Reeve Great Forest.

And further west is Lacorine. Which means he's marching west, mostly in a straight line. "

It does seem that way. What's more, there's a king's capital ahead. That would be what the Chancellor is trying to say.

"And next, though it is possible that the disaster body is on the same path as the march.

My knight died not exactly at the time of Lacorine's destruction. After that.

The Lacorine devastation was indeed carried out by an attack by bees and ant demons, but it was only the streets and the painful but mainly the inhabitants of the city and the less smelly soldiers that were destroyed in that attack. The soldiers and knights at the top of the Crusaders did not die in that attack.

To defeat the surviving soldiers and knights, the bees were seen as powerless, and then the bees' army suddenly disappeared. I don't know where this disappeared, but I'm pretty sure he's gone. "

Wayne nods. The Chancellor continued the conversation.

"The problem is then. Suddenly over the knights, a herd of undead appeared and fell to the ground. The undead, who have fallen, are unusually strong, and even the knights who endured the attack that devastated the city couldn't fathom them. I hear you couldn't scratch one."

I've heard Wayne, too, if it's just a rumor. He said an unusually strong undead knight had appeared in the Reebe Great Forest.

If the calamity comes from the Reeve Forest, the undead is definitely the same force.

When Wayne told him that, the Chancellor nodded as well.

"I see. You still seem to be making no mistake with the disaster."

"But doesn't that just mean the disaster body was there?

"Hmm. But think about it. It's impossible to think about something like an undead suddenly appearing over the sky. If it's the ground that shows up, I don't know yet, but it's up there. For what reason would that happen?"

The Prime Minister may well say so. Extremely unnatural.

"It is far more convincing to think that someone, who has become invisible by some means, floated in the air by some means and summoned demons there, if only to receive it honestly.

In fact, demons exist that make themselves invisible. The demons that summon massive amounts of undead have also been identified.

And a large group of bees who arrived in Lacorine less than a day from Airfaren, if they had accompanied it, naturally means that disaster also has the means to fly.

If it's a disaster, it's no wonder you can exercise all those abilities alone "

The Prime Minister's story also sounds absurd enough, but if you break it down one by one, it does sound more likely. And it's also a convincing logic that disaster could do all of that.

"I don't know if this king's capital is going to let the bees attack, either, because we let the bees back down. Because if you care, it is possible to summon undefeated even our knights.

But at least we can say that at the moment, it's very likely that the disaster body is leaving the Reeve Forest and heading west in a straight line. "

So the Chancellor drank tea.

For the first time, Wayne also realized his throat was very dry and imitated it to the Chancellor.

The tea is completely chilled.

"... so you want Wang Du to gather his defensive forces using a network of pre, vault-held information."

"Exactly."

Wayne thought. How can we gather many, if not all, powerful players to this king's capital?

I'm not thinking about saying no. It was devastated last night, I think about an unknown city. If Wayne had more power, that city might not have had to perish.

The lack of power is still the same, but we may be able to muster strength.

"Okay. I don't know how much you can do, but let's do it."

[Event Boss] King Hills Capital Gather! [Confirmed]

1: Wayne

Event bosses are likely to attack the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Hills.

The source is the NPC's prime minister of kingdom.

Gather as many people as you can in the King's Capital of Hills.

2: Monkey Dive Sasquatch

Stupid. It's only the second day.

3: Sturdy and hard to peel off

If you show up more than once, it's not weird to come on the second day...

4: Amateine

> > how did 1 make connections with the prime minister of kingdom what a big guy?

5: Wayne

> > 4

There are few players in the King's Capital right now. When I went to the mercenary union, the knight looked for a player and he followed me to the castle because I just happened to be there.

So listen to the details, and maybe there's a pretty good chance that a boss monster called "Disaster" is coming to King's Capital.

6: Monkey Dive Sasquatch

The settings are too gabbly

Dismissed.

7: Mr. Unnamed Elf

> > 5

Did His Excellency the Chancellor say "disaster"?

8: Wayne

> > 7

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It seems that there are six catastrophes around the world, and this event boss is the seventh catastrophe.

It was born ten days ago in a dungeon called Reeve Forest, east of the kingdom.

So I started advancing yesterday after the event started, and he's headed straight west.

Airfaren on the first day, Lacoline this morning, and King's Capital next.

Maybe today.

9: Ming Tai List

> > 8

You're standing in another thread.

It's true the city fell fast in Airfaren.

It's also true that the city disappeared in an instant.

I don't know if it's Wang Du beyond that, because the map hasn't been released, but, well, it's convincing.

10: Mr. Unnamed Elf.

I'll add, I'm serious about that "disaster" story.

We're in a country called Portley, and the great old man from the church there was speaking in King Portley's Capital.

I don't know if he was up to anything.

I think we've been talking about that in a lot of different countries.

Sure, that was ten days ago.

He said the eastern tip of the Hills kingdom, so it's the right place.

11: Sturdy and hard to peel off

Are you serious, or are you a fuzzy free man patrolling the SNS?

12: Wayne.

It's not fuzzy.

Seriously, we don't have time.

Please, somebody, come here.

13: Rinki.

> > 9

I've been watching that thread, but it looks like the city of Airfaren is in pretty bad shape.

The city of Airfaren, there's a talking beginner dungeon among Beginners in Hills, and all of a sudden, ants gush out of it, and they say it's devastated in a matter of hours.

At first it was all about writing like "Here we go -" but soon it was all about "sucking" and stuff and nobody stopped writing for a while and my first writing in a few hours was "Where am I"

Looks like the house was destroyed and turned into a random squirrel spawn.

From the walls to the streets to the rubble.

14: Monkey Dive Sasquatch

> > 13

Hey, wait.

What's a dungeon?

This game, did you have a system like that?

15: Ming Tai List

A beginner dungeon means Reeve Great Forest?

I didn't get a clear announcement from the operation, though.

Between validation teams, we conclude that no matter how many monsters we defeat, we won't be resurrected one day, no matter how many items we pick up, if we do too much, we'll be kicked out back to forced death, and it's silently implemented novice relief content.

Back to death, I said, you don't get less experience than you did before you went in, and you have a conscience.

It's a divine balance to adjust for that, and I'm guessing we have a bunch of dedicated AIs.

The route is so subtle that you don't know it's painful, but it's walkable and well-maintained.

16: Amateur

Give him a little chat.

> > 12

Seriously, I know it sucks, but the reality is, can't we go to the king's capital of another country or something now?

17: Country Pop

> > even if 1 was serious, just talking about possibilities?

Even if I managed to get there, I don't know what to do after that in King's Capital, far from the border.

18: Wayne.

[]/(v5m, vi) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Seriously, please.

When disaster strikes, there's no more Hills.

19: Wayne.

Somebody.

20: Guinolegamesh.

Ooh?

Why? I'm not talking to you!

Mizukuzu, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

21: Amateine

> > 20

Ginorega mesh.

Why are you here?

22: Rinki -

> > 21

Who's there?

23: Ming Tai List

> > 22

who is the hardest tank in the current

Didn't you say you had a successful defense on day one? In a different thread.

24: Guinolegamesh.

> > 21

Because Wayne's my friend.

> > 23

I told you.

While the defense was outnumbered, the assault squad beat the enemy's main squad to finish

25: Country Pop

Seriously. I've got another week, but what are you doing? W

26: Guinolegamesh.

> > 25

That's why you're going to save the kingdom now, isn't it?

27: sturdy and hard to peel off

Oh, shit. This guy's cool.

28: Wayne.

Gil, I'm sorry, I forgot.

You're gonna help me.

29: Guinolegamesh

> > 28

You're my friend, right?

Water, water, water, water.

30: Yoichi

That sounds interesting.

Let me bite one, too.

31: Amateur

Nurse Yoichi.

32: Sturdy and hard to peel off

Only lines are always cool w

33: Mr. Unnamed Elf

But the outfit is creepy.

34: Ming Tai List

But strength is creepy (compliments

35: Country Pop

What are you talking about, this threetop layer?

They were all in the finals.

> > 1 is a name I've never heard of.

36: Wayne.

I'm a big deal. I'm a player.

If the defense failed on the first day, the inn was gone, the random squirrel spawned, and the city perished even beyond, the random squirrel spawned, and the last time we got to the king's capital, there would have been no player but me.

I can't do anything alone.

Guys, I need your help.

37: sturdy and hard to peel off

I don't know what happened on the first day.

I thought you were out of town earlier?

I'm surprised there were two cities that perished on the first day, but I'm surprised they're both here to eat random lispawn.

> > 1 How unlucky are you?

38: Guinolegamesh

I've decided to help, but I don't know how I got to King Hills.

I haven't used the transfer service for today, but I'm out of the country in the first place.

It won't reach Wangdu in one go.

39: Guinolegamesh

You can go, Wangdu.

When I saw it now, there was King Hills in the neighborhood list.

I didn't have it until yesterday. Why?

40: sturdy and hard to peel off

A bug?

41: Ming Tai List

I don't think there's a bug in this game.

42: Mr. Unnamed Elf.

[incomprehensible]

It wasn't on the list until yesterday, and the fact that it's there today, on the contrary, isn't it true that some cities were on the list until yesterday, but not today?

Doesn't that mean the city next door is gone and the king's capital is on the list?

43: Guinolegamesh.

Then from my country to the kingdom of Hills, the king's capital is all I have left.

44: Wayne.

The Chancellor told me.

Hills has at least five cities wiped out at the moment.

45: Monkey Dive Sasquatch

It's the end of the century.

46: Yoichi.

What about the other members, as the Guinolegamesh is fine?

47: Monkey Dive Sasquatch

Why do you have to go to the other guys?

Fine, fine.

48: Ming Tai List

> > 46

I saw it yesterday in the validation thread, and whatever the player has when it comes to transfer services, it's like being treated as part of a player.

I metastasized while nagging, and now I went home nagging the other way, and this was reported.

So I guess if I repeat that a few STR and VIT highs are responsible for moving around and switching to someone else in the next city... then some of them can get to Hills.

49: sturdy and hard to peel off

How many of them are you gonna need?

And how many tanks were left when we finally got to King's Landing?

50: Guinolegamesh

> > 49

You have me.

51: Country pop

You're really handsome, huh?

52: Mr. Unnamed Elf.

I'll gather people in all sorts of threads.

53: Ming Tai List

I didn't realize there might be one, so tell me.

No matter how far you eventually travel, if you die, you can go back to the city where you belonged.

There's no death penalty right now.

So even if the event boss didn't show up, the only thing that's going to be wasted is the transfer service for today.

If I add this, there's gonna be more people working with me, right?

54: Mr. Unnamed Elf.

> > 53

I hadn't noticed.

Thanks, man.

55: Monkey Dive Sasquatch

You want me to direct you to this thread?

56: Wayne.

Thanks, guys.

Thank you so much.

57: Amateine.

If you're thankful, you'll tell your friend first.

His appearance changed the air.

"... I think I can get people together somehow"

Wayne, who was borrowing the couch between the Chancellor's receptions to write to SNS, asked a servant to call the Chancellor from the next office.

"Oh, thank God...... So, I wonder how much better they're going to come."

"Uh... 20, no. About thirty people could come, yes. Guys, they're twice as strong as I am."

"Oh my..."

When the Chancellor said so, he silenced and wrinkled between his brows.

"... I'm sorry, could you wait here for a moment?"

"Uh, yes. That's okay...... Um, what about Pre, the acquaintances who arrived in Wangdu?"

"Mmm, right. Lawson, you take care of this. To those of you gathered... I'm sorry, but I'll take you to the inner courtyard and wait there.

Lord Wayne, I'm sorry, but could you still move over to the inner courtyard? Let Lawson guide you. I'll be on my way as soon as I speak to His Majesty, too. "

Once again, he breaks through that complex corridor and is led to a place called the inner courtyard.

It's only been a short time, but my heart is still somewhat calmer than when I first set foot in the castle.

A walking knight, it's even possible to talk to Lawson.

He also says he can't stand the silence.

"Uh, Mr. Lawson? Chancellor… What did Your Excellency go to tell His Majesty?"

Lawson stopped and answered looking forward.

"Lord Wayne has seen you do everything you can, and the Chancellor may have felt it. I'm telling you that the kingdom inherently has no in-laws, and you will do everything in your power, and we can't do anything about it. Probably not."

"Was it...... Thank you."

Lawson clearly seemed to know something.

But I guess there are some things I can't talk about. In not being able to talk, it was felt from that mouthful that Wayne was trying to figure out the best he could.

Then I walked silently for a while and went out into the inner courtyard.

"When will the acquaintance of Lord Wayne come? And I wonder where they're going to come from."

"Uh, one's already in the city. I think the other members will be pumped together. In the meantime, should I contact you to come before the royal castle?

"Right. It would help if you did. Then I'm sorry, but Lord Wayne will wait here. Let me wait in front of the royal castle and guide you here."

I don't remember the journey from the reception room to here at all, and I don't know how I can get out of here.

Even if they don't tell me, if they leave me here, I'll just have to wait.

"Okay. Best regards,"

Add a rendezvous point to an earlier thread on SNS and fly a friend chat to Gill.

He asked me to come to the royal castle. A knight named Lawson will pick you up.

You're in front of the royal castle. Okay.

Thank you, Gil.

Don't do it. Let's beat the boss. "

"... oh, yeah."

If you wait a while, Gil will be here soon.

"Seriously, you can get in the royal castle... I'm sorry. Honestly, I was half-baked."

"Wouldn't there be more people if this spread even now?

"But I don't know if it's a time limit, or exactly when the raid will come. Even if we were on our way now, wouldn't we be on time or subtle?

"Let's just say it, as a warning."

Amateur, Rinki, Country Pop, Sturdy and hard to peel off......

These are the top players Wayne even knows about. I didn't know you'd really come.

He wasn't in the thread, but he also has a famous player, "Was His Hand Warm?"

She is one of the few healers and the discoverer of restorative magic skills.

After that, the players keep coming into the castle. Have we exceeded thirty already?

"Thank you, everyone..."

"If you're serious about losing just one country, you'll be in a shade. If this is fishing, I won't forgive you, but it doesn't look like a lie for now."

Ninja with black tights all over her body. He's also the face I saw in the finals.

"I trusted you from the start. I'm talking about a friend of Guinolegamesh's."

A gentleman in nurse clothes appeared there. It's Nurse Yoichi.

He seems to be acting with this black tights player, Monkey Dive Sasquatch, right now.

The loss to the same opponent along with him in the final seemed to have somewhere to go.

"More than that, I thought it was a name I heard somewhere when it came to Wayne, but you did tell the story last time that the winner, Mr. Rae, was in Reeve Great Forest."

"Yes, can't you get in touch with Mr. Rae? I think if we had her here, we'd have a better chance."

Wayne laid his eyes down on Yoichi and Amathein's words.

"Rae... I don't know. It's not like we're friends. She is in PK...... Probably doing it solo."

We're getting closer to Wayne in the first place, too, to PK Wayne. I can't tell you how pathetic that is.

"Right...... If that's the case, I can't help it."

"Oh, I didn't know you could get together so much... Lord Wayne has no words of gratitude."

Chancellor O'Cornell showed up there. Behind them, the knights are carrying a few big things. I don't know what it is because I wear a cloth, but it belongs to a round silhouette.

From the looks of it, it is very unlikely to be carried by even a few people, but is it surprisingly light? No, it's more natural to think it's because the knights have a high STR. Knights who would be stronger than Wayne. A light one, or even a balance, would be enough for two.

"This is what I've already told Lord Wayne..."

The Chancellor told all the players in the inner courtyard what Wayne had heard earlier.

"Well, sure, if that's the case, it seems likely to show up in Wang Du."

That's how Amateur replied if she represented the player when she heard the story.

"Mm-hmm. So, but..."

When the prime minister looked away, he took away the cloth of what one of the knights had brought.

The identity was like a giant egg made of crystals, shining rainbow, but looking creepy somewhere.

"Everyone who works with goodwill, so to speak, who is not a knight in our country, is doing everything in their power. In this situation, it is impossible for us to just sit and wait, etc., as a nation. Regardless, the remaining knights and soldiers in the king's capital work with you to get to the point, apart from that. This one should also squeeze the maximum force."

The Chancellor continues, approaching the eggs of the crystal, touching the surface.

"This is an ancient treasure, called an artifact. It is also one of the national treasures of our country. Your Majesty gave me permission to use it."

"National Treasure...!

"Even the artifact!?

"New Category Items"

"Is that... ok"

Amathein asks, the Chancellor nods slowly as he looks at the players.

And most importantly, I started explaining the mysterious relics.

"This mysterious relic has the effect of casting a curse of weakening on all who are within the specified scope. Except for up to ten pre-registered people.

The effect time is one hour after activation.

There is a stage to weakening, activated and for some time, only a weak effect. However, if we continue to keep our opponents in the range of effects, the proportion of their weakening will gradually increase.

That's not all. If this crystal is destroyed during the activation of the effect of the weakening, the effect remains only ten seconds from that moment regardless of the remaining effect time.

Moreover, the weakening effect is reinforced according to the time of effect that should have remained at that point. Of course, the more time we have left, the more powerful the curse becomes. This curse is non-discriminatory and takes effect even if it was pre-registered.

At this time, all abilities are cut by up to 50%. This is no exception to vitality. Therefore, if you suffer this curse while you are damaged, you may even die at that moment. "

It is a powerful item for breaking. Sometimes it's just a national treasure.

That means whatever boss you are, you can halve all abilities for a limited time of ten seconds.

Is it an event-only item?

But if you have something like this, why didn't you let the Crusaders have it?

With this, Lacorine could have spared the devastation.

"... why are you taking this now? With this, the Crusaders would not have been devastated..."

"Mm-hmm. There are conditions for this mysterious relic. We can't activate it unless it's in a specific location. And one of the places will be this king's capital."

"Really...... But it's a national treasure, isn't it? Even if you destroy it..."

It seems too much to destroy national treasures, however the crisis in the country may be.

Because of the crisis of national survival if the Waynes are defeated, I don't know if that's what you mean.

"Lord Wayne, it's okay. Which of these mysterious relics, once activated, will lose its radiance and will never be used again."

"Are you sure? Well, as I was saying, they attack angels and stuff every now and then, right? Better keep it for when the angel's best balls show up..."

"... actually. This mysterious relic is ineffective for angels."

"What do you mean?

"Do you know that magic is compatible with each other? Similar to that one.

This mysterious relic is called the "Heart of the Spirit King," and it is assumed in the inheritance that the Spirit King, who once ruled the land, was bequeathed for those who dwell in the land during his death.

And the attributes of the angels belong to the Spirit King and the forces close to him, and the power of the Spirit King is elusive. "

"Really..."

"Returning to earlier bootable places, there are six of them on this continent, each of which has become the capital of the country that governs this continent. This bears witness above all to the fact that the royal family of each country is qualified to succeed the Spirit King.

Our country only has information about the mysterious relics that are passed on to our country, but perhaps each country has something similar. "

If so, it would mean that no matter how catastrophic or otherwise, only the king capitals of each country have special event items available.

Does it mean that major changes in the situation, such as the destruction of the country on boulders, are being adjusted to make it difficult?

Perhaps the fact that this item is virtually impossible to take out is also a balancing adjustment so that NPCs don't go anywhere on their own to defeat the Reid Boss or other players before they do.

"So you're saying this, uh, disaster is going to work because it's undead? At least you're not an angel."

"Exactly. It is said that the power of the Spirit King has the strongest influence on being paired with the Spirit King. It is unclear what its existence is, but it is certain that it belongs at least to forces such as demons and darkness. If this disaster is as deeply related to the undead as Lord Wayne says it is, there are times when it is more appropriate to use it."

"Your Eminence's thoughts, I understand. Artifact, let me use it."

Amathein bows his head and the other players imitate it.

"Uhm. Nice to meet you"

"Bye, Mr. Wayne. Let's work out the operation."

"Eh."

Suddenly called his name, Wayne is bewildered by the gaze directed at him at the same time.

Wayne is probably the weakest player here.

Why am I like that?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who We're only here to help Wayne. Stay with me."

"Oh, Guinolegamesh is right. It was you who collected this number. So you're the leader of this Reid party."

"But that's because Gil was there for me..."

"It could be. But Guinolegamesh didn't collect it."

What a bunch of them. These are the top players.

Those who believed Wayne's words and came all the way here.

That's not all. By the time we got here, there must have been some tank-based players who had to be left in the city on the way. They really helped us, even though it didn't do them any good.

Then I can't tell you that I'm weak. I'm not so sure, but we're gonna work out the operation. No, you should be able to be yourself. Anyway, I've hunted that rare down by reasoning. If I leave here, I can't even face Rae, who recognized me for a moment then. No, I don't have any feelings about Rae.

Wayne, so prepared, looked over at the player and nodded.

"Okay. Let's set up an operation."

"Let's start by summarizing what we know as things stand.

The enemy was a mighty demon, said to be the boss of this event, a "disaster," which occurred in the Reeve Great Forest.

He manipulated ants and bees to destroy the city of Airfaren, and then headed straight west to destroy the city of Lacorine as well, using ants and bees. And summoned the mighty undead in the air, killing the knights. Not this far. "

"Oh. Go on."

"Here is the ability of disaster to be clear at this point:

Manipulating ants and bees and undead first.

That the sky can fly.

That you can disappear.

It's heading west, which means it's coming from the east if it shows up. "

"Right. There are already some tough items..."

"Then this guy becomes uncertain information, but there are reports of bees and ants once lowered in the city of Lacoline. He says he didn't see ants and bees anywhere at this point, so maybe he won't bring them to the king's capital"

"Hopeful observation..."

"Sure, but that's not the problem. More than that, this fact suggests that if a disaster disappears single-handedly and heads to the king's capital, it is impossible to discover it in itself."

"Ah..."

"One, okay, Mr. Wayne?"

"Go ahead, Mr. Yoichi"

"I don't need sarcasm. I have a skill called True Eyes. This skill, when activated, can visualize and feel the surrounding organism… well, including undead and golem, but it can also visualize the surrounding person's LP. It doesn't show specific numbers or anything, but it tells me in blur, light and color. The intensity of light roughly indicates the percentage of the remaining LP and the color roughly indicates the magnitude of the maximum."

"By the way, if you have that skill, I have it too."

"I see...... Well, let's start by asking Yoichi and Monkey Dive Sasquatch for surveillance."

"You can have a sasquatch. There. Why is that your full name? I don't need any more sardines."

"... let's ask Sasquatch.

If you had bees, you would consider them separately and later, if you appeared alone first.

Disappear and likely show up, so ask the two opponents.

And the next thing that matters is the extent of the effects of the mysterious relics, how to lure them into Debufffield. "

"Right. It's too late to think about it normally and prepare that one after disaster. I let you touch it earlier, but I just touched it and found out how to use it. Anything, they know how to use a secret artifact if you touch it without exception.

So, according to that, it's "location" to target at startup. It's not a person or thing. And the effect time, but it is most effective if you leave more than thirty minutes to activate the forced termination due to "destruction" "

"Thank you, Mr. Amatein.

What this means is that the most ideal thing is to direct the disaster to the point, where the guard activates the mysterious artifact and then within half an hour takes the LP to the confirmatory kill line, where he destroys the mysterious artifact and defeats it by its effect, I guess.

To make this possible... "

"─ Then let's go with this for the big muscles. The truth is, we don't even know what kind of demon they are. Unexpected events are also expected, but the most important thing is the last debuff due to the destruction of a secret relic. Just because you took it here doesn't mean you can win, but if you can't take it here, you'll probably never win."

"First I provoke him with arrows, and at the same time I tell the other players where he is"

"The key is still how to keep your opponent from moving during the last debuff,"

"Whoa. It's a serious responsibility. Leave it to me."

"And if that's possible, I want to scrape the LP of disaster as much as possible by then"

"Whether my 'fear' passes or not is quinquennial, but the undead should be able to apply the effect itself if there is a 'soul-bound stone'. And then there's the resistance decision..."

"Let's increase the odds by someone distracting and Sasquatch throwing squid ink balls from behind and putting them in the dark"

"This, seriously, can't you just hit the back of your head and crush it? What kind of reason is that?"

"It's that kind of item, so there's no choice. Ask the alchemist who made it for you. He won't be able to follow us to this battle, so I left him in the middle of town."

The operation was generally set. All you have to do is run.

"... but this is an operation that presupposes that everyone in the avant-garde will surely die"

"No, I think this is all we have. Fortunately, the death penalty is also light now. Outreach, use that artifact, maybe it's an adjustment to win on the sacrifice premise, Despena Mitigation is"

"I don't know, because I'm only going to explain how this game operates, systematically."

"If you don't have Despena, it's not enough to care. The amount of experience you can get depends on your contribution."

"To stop the disaster at all, I won't rispawn if I die. Leave the body intact and disturb the foot of the disaster."

"I'll stick with you at the last minute, but I'll keep you down, so I'm sorry, but if you get lost in the recovery order, you can make me recover. I'm the hardest to die, so that should add up a little bit."

"Yes. I understand, Mr. Gill."

"All right, then let's go to placement. Honestly, we don't even know when he's gonna show up."

"Whoa!"

This is how the Laid Boss Battle, the Disaster Crusade by the Waynes began, and for the first time in the history of the continent, it was a successful crusade of mankind's enemies.

But.
