Golden Experience

"Right, well, I guess we'll start with the M.O. that led Rae here.

Even so, you can actually say that this failed.

To be precise, what I was planning was to call "disaster" into this city. That's why I was thinking of using the distribution network around this city to circulate some information.

You already know that, but that's a rumor that the Kingdom of Hills has already vanished.

I have learned this since I became a nobleman, but as a common perception of this continent, it seems that it is the national territory and the royal family that are important as symbols of the nation. Actually, the king's capital is important too, but the only people who know about it are the royal family and the national hubs. Yeah, maybe Rae knows that, too.

So if we say to the NPC nobles, "the country has perished," we usually think, "has the national territory been lost, or has the royal family perished?"

It doesn't make a lot of sense where the average NPC hears that. In the first place, they won't pin it if they say the country is doomed. It must be something I've never heard of.

Except the nobles.

As far as the nobility of Hills is concerned, it is an important issue related to future progress and a matter of direct diplomatic connection, even for nobility in other countries.

And it can also be said to be a major issue that has a direct impact on prices and the economy for merchants who do business with aristocrats.

The currency used on this continent is common, so this rumor will be told to the extent of public discourse in the streets, as it will not be immediately possible for the general public to raise a sense of crisis directly.

And the aristocrats and merchants who know the gravity of the matter use every means to take the back of the information. This action is the result of spreading more rumors.

It is immediately apparent that the national territory has not yet been lost. Then it is the royal whereabouts they seek.

The rumors spread should soon enter the ears of "disaster" as well. Because "disaster" should be mindful of the rumors and information of the NPCs.

What makes you think that?

I'm looking for another missing Hills royalty.

Once it's gone, it's a disaster. Well, at the time I found out about it, I thought it was an event NPC, so I just thought it was something I retreated from by making it look dead. Rae, if you were a player, you must really be dead. And rispawned. Ouch, get your wings off me. Because I won't tell you anymore.

Anyway, at this time the "disaster" was made to lick the dry acid by the artifacts used by the players. But the artifact should have already disappeared from the royal castle that perished shortly afterwards. Along with royalty.

If so, "disaster" searches for royalty. That's all that stands out. It's not hard to imagine going up to people's rumors. If you catch NPC appropriately and even torture it and listen, you'll find out soon enough.

That's probably what I thought.

And in the meantime, what if there's a rumor out of NPC's mouth that there are "nobles looking for royalty"?

If anyone is looking, the royal family is still alive.

And it's much easier to let humans look than the "disaster" you can only look for with force moves.

No, by the time this rumor arrives under "disaster," the aristocrats and guys we're already looking for may be capturing the royalty.

So where is the source of that information, who is looking for royalty in the first place?

In the process of tracking it, you will notice that the original rumor was "Hills Doom".

And you realize that, too, that the condition of annihilation is the extinction of the land or the royal family. But who knows better than "disaster" itself that neither of them has been made.

Who spreads such rumors for what?

Only the players should know at this point if the state is really doomed.

If annihilation is true, it means nothing more than that the source of rumors that know it has destroyed the royalty.

If annihilation is not true, what did you spreading rumors of lies for?

You just have to figure out who the most reluctant beings are when they do this. In other words, the fleeing royalty. It is reasonable to assume that rumors have been circulated to bring them out.

If the royal family were alive, they wouldn't be able to see it. When you want to rebuild Hills, this rumor is clearly an obstacle. Then if you wait there, royalty officials should come.

Either way, it's quick to go to the source of rumors if you try "disaster".

It's harder to find out where it came from. I didn't hide this one.

We should have identified it sooner or later and showed up in this city.

To sum it up in short, there are those who aren't supposed to be doomed, but are doomed or blowing.

I don't know what you mean, but I don't know if you care.

Whether or not you would come alone was a bet for me, but the purpose of "disaster" is only information and not the destruction of this city. If we invade a lot, we could get away with it again. Besides, the last time I fought alone and was unconscious, it was because of the artifact, and there is no fear that it will be used in this city, which is not the king's capital.

I wonder if it would be one person or a small number of night raids. "

"... can I ask you a few questions?

"Go ahead. As many as you want."

"First, what did you say, failed? This is how I was summoned, so isn't it a success in that sense?

"Oh, that or. 'Cause, Rae, you didn't hear about the NPC until you came to this city, did you?

I'd rather hear it. How did you identify this city?

"Saw it on SNS"

"Coupons! Something different, Rae, isn't it? It's faceless and has a small mouth count.

No, it's a write-up from a player-like guy who happened to be in this city, and he said he heard about the demise from the knight, so that's it. "

"Oh, I see. I didn't instruct the players because I didn't feel any particular need to spread the word, but I wonder if they had a subordinate who spoke without knowing.

So the attack was faster than expected?

Surely SNS is an incomparable rate of transmission.

But then again, it's a coincidence. My operation is a failure. "

"But it's a lot, a coincidence, an operation based on uncertain information and speculation, right?

It's out if the disaster hasn't thought that far, or if the NPC rumors haven't been conveyed accurately.

I think it was much more likely that nothing would happen. "

"Well, that's true. He just wanted to try to 'serve' the disaster.

It doesn't have to be this disaster. But I only know "archangels" and all that in literature, and I'm sure there are other disastrous demons, because I don't have any information.

Just spreading rumors when it comes to what I do anyway, and given the cost and return, it won't hurt to just do it.

Well, for once, it was after the event or something that I assumed the disaster would come, so only the risk of a death penalty was proportionate. Based on that, I can always play 10% of my experience.

As a precaution, I've always been more vigilant around the city, but in a short time, a few residents suddenly disappeared, so I'm wary. Then you came. [M]

I didn't know at first, but if it disappeared like a black fog, isn't it what they said on the SNS? I thought it was a disaster, because it was a familiar face. You laugh. "

"... ok. Next, then, why the King's Capital is important to the nation. Because this involves activation conditions for some artifacts?

"That's right. Finally, I guess I'll tell you what I wasn't talking about earlier. They didn't ask me, but it's service.

That's another reason I wanted this city.

This city was once the king's capital of a flourishing country.

As you may know, the king who ruled at that time was a man named the Spirit King.

Earlier, some artifacts were also created by him.

One of the activation conditions is "on Wang Du's property," so I thought I could use it in this city as well. Well, I didn't have the artifact myself.

Finally, the fact that the subsequent investigation revealed that what is included in that artifact is probably the curse of the Spirit King or something like that, which is apparently activated by resentment towards the royal family of the later world, right? That's why it only activates in the afterlife, that is, in the King's Capital, ruled by the six modern royals. This city had nothing to do with it.

I had a hard time finding out this fact. Probably only knows about the royalty of every country. How did you find out, well, it's a secret. It won't matter.

I wonder if the tragedy for the Spirit King was that the item of curse created with the last force became too good a quality to be an artifact. Because if you touch it, you'll know how to use it, and vice versa, those items have become something that protects the authority and safety of the current royal family of nations.

That's the reason, so maybe now that the Hills Royal Family has been cut off, we won't meet the activation conditions in the King's Capital of Hills, where Rae is. This needs to be verified. If you like. "

"You won't let me.

Next time, then. I can put this together because I'm probably referring to the same thing.

First of all, when King Hills Metropolitan perished, he said there couldn't have been any royalties or artifacts, but how did you know?

And then, where is the royal family now?

And then I said I didn't have the artifact, but now you do?

"Well, yeah. It all refers to the same thing.

Because I ordered my men to kill the Hills royalty and get the artifacts. Now it's in the treasure trove of this castle. I was actually going to keep it here, because it won't start.

The truth is, at first, I was going to use the artifact at the time I arranged the rumors. But you figured out later that it wouldn't start here, right? If it had been activated, it could have made Rae mine by now. "

"It is absolutely impossible to use the player's consent to 'play'.

But I ordered the subordinates, I said, but thinking chronologically, it wouldn't be possible to kill the royal family and spreading rumors if it wasn't as timely as I was letting Hills leave here at the time of the raid.

This would mean that he was convinced of the royal exile at the time of the raid on King Hills' capital.

But the royal asylum was suggested by NPC Chancellor O'Cornell, so it can't be predictable. "

"Chancellor O'Cornell? Who is it?"

"... isn't that what the Chancellor advised you about when the royal family of Hills took refuge? That's what I heard from him."

"What kind of prime minister recommends asylum to his own head of state? That's a hell of an idea. Be careful."

"... I'm gone because I'm finished"

"Really? I don't know.

I don't know what to do. As for this, I can answer whether it's not directly related to this series of cases or something else, but I also feel a little over-served.

Oh, Rae, if you'll do me one favor, I'll answer you. "

All right then.

"Hey, let's just ask! If it's not a big deal, you can do it!

"... what's a favor?

"Give me Rae's friend card. I'll give mine too. But that's how you can register your friends."

"Okay, then."

"Hey, hey! Fine! I'll give it to you! Here, let me out! I'd be curious if I asked you so far!

"... yes this"

"Oh, thank you. Blanc does a good job.

Well, that was a royal exile.

It was unexpected that the Chancellor said that, but it was a fairly reliable assumption that the royal family would choose the option of asylum.

In the first place.

There was once only one country on this continent. And that fact isn't even on the official website, and the majority of NPCs don't know it. Six countries now exist, but that is because there has never been a war or anything like that, and the country has never perished.

Then there's no way they can come up with asylum themselves, is there?

I've been investing in commercial policy and diplomacy since I became a nobleman.

Part of it, he also interacted with the Royal Family of Hills and those close to it.

So there's a lot of opportunity to talk. I was suggesting to the royal family that you should flee to my city at some point. The city is far from the realm of demons, and only the King's Capital of the former united nation is more or less near the centre of the continent. Easy to escape from any country. Since this continent is hardly a feud between human forces, it was not even suspected. Well, that might also have the effect of "beauty shapes" or something like that.

Besides that commotion. They say the enemies of mankind have been born. That must mean Rae, right?

Anyone in the royal family knows how important the royal family is. Because the source of artifact power lies in the curse on the royal family, there is also a risk that if all royals cease to bleed, their power will be lost. Well, I don't know if that's really gonna happen because I've never done it before.

That's why I thought you should only want to protect artifacts and royal blood.

So I put in the option of asylum and kept it wise.

I guess that's why I predicted the Chancellor's proposal, but closer to inducing royal action.

When I saw a thread on SNS like "I'm looking for a Reid Party because there's going to be a disaster in King Hills Capital," I left my tiger boy's Knights on their way.

It's about the duration of the event, and I thought maybe it was some kind of raid on this city in the interior, but after a day, it doesn't look like anything, and you've already prepared to send reinforcements to some neighborhood. I'm glad I didn't waste it. Well, the target has changed from demonic to Noble Human, but it's trivial.

If disaster strikes me and I despair of the future of the kingdom, the royal people will surely remember me. Think so. I sent out the Knights.

If you find them, kill them all and order them to take the artifact. "

"Are you the devil..."

"... hmm. Why did you leave me with the wisdom to take refuge? Because you wanted artifacts?

And you didn't say that to any royals other than Hills?

"You did give the Hills royal asylum and wisdom because you wanted an artifact. I can't make that with current technology. Even if you can't start it in this city, it won't hurt to keep it.

And maybe when that royal blood runs out, the time will come for me to claim royal descendants on account of possession of the artifact.

Well, it was hard to do because the official website certified the demise of the state when all the royals died.

Aside from the Hills royal family, he told the royal family that he was able to interact. He laughed at me with his nose, though.

A knight in this country is a lot stronger than a knight in Hills. So even if the royal family of Hills finds itself in a dangerous situation, it is persuasive that we can hide in this city.

But for the royalty of this country, in my knighthood, quality is no better than that of the king's capital anyway. So there's no point in suggesting that. Well, I didn't say this because I knew.

The royal family of other countries laughed at me... Is this okay now, too? It's a different price. "
