Golden Experience

Episode 116: Do you want to rest till night?

The two then heard from several more collaborators.

Not everyone seems to know, but a significant proportion of the city's NPCs seem to know the facts of the Hills demise.

That percentage, or as far as the roses of those who know, gives the impression that they have spread in word of mouth and so on rather than being touched.

"If someone was trying to spread rumors, I wonder how many NPCs they used as a sakura."

"Um, maybe that too, but this city isn't a periphery, is it? There are no walls. There's something outside the city, is that barley? The fields are sprawling, there are a lot of good people and carriages like merchants, and it's probably a flourishing city in agriculture and commerce.

If so, if you're familiar with the flow of the economy, you can make minimal arrangements to maximize proliferation. "

Bran tells me that, and I'll look over the city again. I didn't even care because I only looked at characters that seemed easy to grab, but Blanc is certainly right, it seems like a city that tends to be that way.

"... wow. That's amazing, Bran! You're lying that you're not smart! The focus is the same, and the knowledge is amazing! I've never seen barley grow a real thing before, and if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known!

"No, I mean 70%, because my kids are smart. He tells me a lot."

"Are those Mormons from your family? They seemed pretty good, the vibe. The ability of your family is within your master's power."

"Really? I guess. No, hey, hey."

"But it wouldn't be strange if information was already flowing to other neighboring cities, etc."

It once said somewhere in the thread Wayne put up, where he was calculating to defeat Rae, that the Chancellor of the Kingdom had used his family's system of Lispawn to establish an astonishing means of communication.

It is unclear whether nobles in other countries routinely use the same methods as that, but it is not surprising that they were devising and using something else from that. It won't be possible to get distant information in real time, but it's dangerous to think things through assuming real medieval and other rates of information transmission.

"I should have checked the neighboring city for information like that, or SNS. Oh, but it's an event period, and I don't know how many people talk to the public right now about NPC people."

"I don't think I've ever been there, but that would be just hard to search for in those terms. It's probably the players who know more about doom than anyone, and I don't think many players bother to ask about that information from NPC.

I guess that's why I cared about players like that Justine as a somewhat unusual topic, and the player named Ming Tai Lists "

And Rae will also be one of those caught.

"If word of mouth is spreading around the NPCs, it's still hard to go after that fact on SNS. It's troublesome that similar information has already been finalized between players. If you search, you're the only one out there."

If we're going to get any more information, we're still going to have to increase the number of local collaborators.

"I don't know what to do. Should I hear more from my collaborators, or should I hit someone close to the core such as a knight?"

"Isn't there something brand new you can hear from local victims anymore? I think you only know what percentage of people you know and don't."

"Right. If we increase the number of N's, we might be able to grasp the tendency of those in what position to know and those in what position not."

"The population of this city is going to drop dramatically..."

There are too few returns for the risk.

If so, we'll have to hit the knights. But unlike the inhabitants there, the knight does not die. This information will soon rise to the nobility who will govern the city in the way it has been listened to.

"What do we do? Do you want to storm that castle yet?

"That's belligerent. But if you think the original purpose is to know the whereabouts of Hills' royalty, how much do you know from what the city's residents have told you?"

"That's right. Oh, so what were you doing it for?

"I was wondering if I could find out where the information came from. But it sounds like a word of mouth, and I knew at the beginning that that seemed impossible. I wonder how many people know from the way in."

"I was wondering what it was all about along the way, but I should have said it sooner."

I can't help what I've done. We should think about what's going to happen.

If you want to find out where the royal family is, you'll need nobility or a source to go along with it. The city's inhabitants didn't know about the Hills demise itself, but they didn't seem to know about the royalty.

More importantly, for Rae to be precise, it doesn't matter where the royal family is. What matters is the whereabouts of the artifact.

Assuming that's in this city now, that castle would be the most likely one.

"... don't even feel like Bran's proposal is the quickest after all"

"Huh? The one who storms the castle? You sure you want to do this?

"Eh."

"No, I don't mind. Rae, you look cautious, but you have a habit of throwing it all at me when something gets hard. I'm a pain in the ass, so I'll throw it from the start."

"I wonder?... I guess."

If you're going in that direction, you should wait for the night.

And finally, one more, he prepared his accomplice to take up the lodging, and disappeared, and went to the room to rest.

"Now, if it gets so dark, it will be difficult to see us if we use the Book of Darkness together"

"You stand out, Rae. Can't it be 'camouflage' like during the day?

"Because 'camo' looks like a sketch of contour or something when it moves hard. It's not for battle. I just need to talk to you."

"But when you were brainwashing, you disarmed it."

"Well, if you don't show me who I am, the effect of 'fascination' will drop. And I'm not brainwashing, I'm asking for help."

Fly quietly off the roof of the inn.

I guess only the surroundings of the Rares are unnaturally darkened compared to those around them, but of the night darkness, it's also about the sky. I don't even think anyone will notice.

"I wonder where to go in the castle. Looking for something like a treasure trove, or is it quicker to go ask the lord directly"

If you're a lord, you can kill me when you're done. My condolences to the city for suddenly losing its lords and knights in policing, but it would be better if we were allowed to extend the residents to collaborators.

"... hey, you ever think that a lord or a nobleman is being 'served' by someone else? You know, Rae, you and this Sieg of the Four Heavens, right?

I've thought about that possibility.

It would be a delicious way to do it if you tried it from the side you want to "serve."

But nobility on the side of it, from those who can make it an intermediate management position, is of no benefit.

Even though I have to feed my subordination, I don't have any experience coming in to me. You need to charge your supervisor for your experience, including up to the minute of your distribution. But if you try being a superior, you'll be nothing more than a throwaway pawn, such as a subordinate, and you'll even feel spared giving him experience on purpose.

If we don't have as much trust in each other as we have in each other, it won't be established.

Or force a relationship against the backdrop of mighty force, etc., but if the upper echelons of the state do so, there is also a risk that the lower intermediate nobles will all flip anti-flag.

Because of the problems directly linked to the intrinsic power structures of the states of this continent, it is not necessarily necessary that such civil conflicts occur somewhere in one country and this will not spark other countries either.

"So even if it does, I'm thinking it's limited to kinship and friendship, like it's not directly related to the vertical structure of power."

"I see. If so, you live in a castle as big as this, and even if it's a relationship like that, the Lords here seem likely to be at the top of it."

"Yes, you will."

Blanc may be anxious about common sense and other things, and he has difficulty acting without thinking deeply, but it doesn't seem like he has such a bad head rotation in essence.

I thought he was a completely different type of person from myself, but maybe not surprisingly.

"So should we aim for a room or something as high as possible and with lights on? That's the image of a great man."

"Well, I don't have any indicators, and I guess that's okay. It seems likely that he is the ruler enough to maintain a city of this size in production and commercial activities, and that even when it gets dark, he turns on the lights and does his errands."

There is a balcony stretched out large around the middle belly of the castle. I wonder if that one in the royal castle of Hills was meant to show the King's people what a king looks like, but does a castle in a city need something like that, even though it is a fine castle?

The light leaks brightly from the room with the balcony.

There doesn't seem to be a room upstairs with lights on.

Then it would be nice to go for this balcony.
