Golden Experience

Episode 164: The City of Neuschloss

Usually they are loud family members when they go out alone, but they don't say loud unless it's Rare's own body.

Even if he dies in this state, it is only Mare's body, and not Rae dies. Although there seems to be most back damage depending on the MND values of the surgeon and his family. This was verified by Riley, who has many militant family members.

Rae basically has a policy of raising his direct family's MND and INT wherever possible. It means that the closer your family and the surgeon's MND are, the more damage you take, but still Rae's own MND was too high for back damage to be a concern.

There is another risk of death in this condition. It's respawn time. Rare only restores her mind to her original body, but Mare can't respawn for an hour. It is troublesome for players to know this. Even if you pretend to be a player, you should avoid acting with other players when you think about when you die.

Travel from the Reflex Mercenary Union to Neuschross.

Not so much attention was paid by the different players on the road. Mare is certainly beautiful, but it's not uncommon for a player to have that much beauty. It's a little noticeable that you're carrying a long object on your back, but there are quite a few players who don't put their weapons in the inventory. NPC mercenaries can't do that in the first place, and I guess players like that don't use inventories in role play or something. I'm going to let Rae through with it if she asks me too.

Even with armor, it was lightweight because I hated being inhibited from moving my body. Even so, the cloth is specially sewn from Queen Araknea, and the metal part is Adaman. They are more defensive than their armor. The collar also has a partially metallic hood, which is now in the city so it is not covered, but it is a structure that protects the head when fighting.

Neuschross The nearest safety area was the prairie. There's a landmark rock, but that's all.

There's a line of tent-like things around. That seems to be the player's bunk.

Much less than the tunnel I saw one day.

This Neuschloss means it's difficulty 4, and it looks like only some of the top players are trying. It's a good thing it's not crowded.

"Shit. I don't have any camping gear. In the meantime, we'll see what happens today, and should we go back to the worst possible death...?

No, that's bad.

Nothing. It's not an emotional reason to be sorry for Mare or anything.

If you're going to pretend to be a player, it's not just inventory or lispawn you have to be aware of. And the loss of experience on death. If you are a player who loses experience due to a death penalty, you never choose the means to return to death cheaply. You must be coming with the consciousness that you will definitely live and go home more than you earn. Self-immolation makes me look bad.

Besides, if a player-like body was left alone for an hour, they would also be pushed unnecessarily evil.

"I'm not even going to say if I could die, and I was still going to play easier than the main body... Was it the same thing that couldn't die cheaply?"

It's more risky than dying in the sense that you don't want to be seen, but if Rare sends her spirit back to the body and 'summons' Mare at the Reflexion Consulate. You can hide somewhere in the dungeon and go there.

I stopped worrying about it for the time being and walked out the street towards Neuschross.

The city of Neuschloss is a dozen minutes' walk from the safety area.

I guess that's roughly the place because the King's Capital safety area I had Kelly and the others look into was more or less the same distance.

Speaking of the exterior of the city, it looks pretty rough.

The outer walls are smashed down and can enter from anywhere.

The forest you see across the city is probably the original demonic realm. I guess that forest is integrated with the city of Neuschloss because it wasn't on the list. It's just like the cities of Airfaren and Ludo have been integrated into Liebe and Tre.

That's the name of the woods, and this is the name of the city, but judging by the situation, it seems to depend on the destruction of the city or something. The city of Airfaren and the city of Ludo are no longer prototypes. Compared to that, Neuschross is rough enough to keep the city in shape.

I just went inside.

The roughness is the same inside, no, it may be worse than the outer wall.

If the aim was to kill the inhabitants, it would be natural.

I guess the demons who attacked this place during the event have invaded it, clearly targeting the inhabitants. How hungry was it, or was it the purpose of killing itself?

If killing was an end in itself, the boss of this dungeon is likely a player. The fact that killing is an end can be said to mean that experience was an end.

Walking around, something popped out of the shadow of a broken house.

It's goblin. No. Is it really goblin?

It does look like a goblin, but it's considerably larger in stature than the one from Reeve Great Forest. Pretty much anything is bigger than an average human being.

He pulled out a short knife and slashed the back of his knee as he struck a goblin. I hardly responded, but I'm sure I did. Probably already standing up.

The Great Goblin fell down with a dirty scream and tried to stand up, but his feet did not listen.

A quick cut to the neck caused the goblin to collapse, bleeding heavily.

Rare jumped back to avoid bleeding, quickly lowered her back razor blade and pulled it out of the razor bag.

There is not one big goblin.

One by one, it strikes Rare.

Hmm!

Put the short knife in the sheath while wielding the sword with one hand. I don't know if Adaman rusts with blood, but if it's true, I just wanted to wipe the blood properly before delivering it, but I can't help it. I decided to take care of it later, it's a waste, but the sheath is discarded. This was also made of world trees.

You can swing a full sword if you serve a short knife.

He wields his blade to show off his repeatedly trained accomplishments, rolling out windmills, water wheels, poking and shaking with his right hand at times and sometimes only his left hand.

The sharpness of Adaman's sword was terrifying, cutting off the limbs of Scasca and the Great Goblin. It's just as if you're dancing alone. It's surrounded by stone pieces that stick out behind it sometimes, but it's as powerful as a spike attack because of its speed and hardness. In other words, it penetrates the enemy's body. In such a case, the enemy's body is split and shaken to its full strength.

If my grandmother saw me, I would have used a sword that would have made me sit up, but no matter how good my arm was, I wouldn't do that with a real sword made of rare steel and wood. It's because it's made of Adaman and World Tree.

This degree of artistry is nothing with this magical metal that doesn't break, doesn't bend, doesn't chip and doesn't spill. The same is true of the world tree pattern.

I felt good swinging my score for a while, but eventually my prey was gone.

Of course, I'm not in the mood to let you escape. They're all rolling around as corpses.

I take out the flashboard to wipe off the blood fat, but it is not the amount that can be wiped off by such a thing. It occurred to me that I acquired the "Cleansing" of "Water Magic" from Mare's skill acquisition list. Originally, it was rhetorical to wash the razor blade with water, but it was magical and probably will work out.

As I thought, rather than washing with water, it seems to have the effect of cleansing the subject, and the blood and fat disappeared beautifully.

I tried to activate it on the knife and its sheath, but the same goes for this one. If you think about it, no one gets even if you let them do cleaning and stuff in real life in the game. I guess some of these parts are told that wizards are mandatory for mercenary parties. Thanks to this, I didn't have to throw away my sheath.

"If I'd known this sooner, I wouldn't have had to take care of it during a closed test."

Do not peel off the large goblin. I don't have a knife for dismantling in the first place. I have acquired the Dismantling Skill, but only as a stepping stone to the Healing. I don't intend to use it.

It's someone else's garden anyway, and I decided to leave the body intact and continue my exploration.

"Is that 4 miscellaneous fish? I'm pretty sure it's softer than Car Knight...... I'm not sure which is stronger overall. Same or whatever. I also feel like Car Knight is stronger. I guess it's because I'm only physically attacking."

I have also come here to investigate the difficulty 4 aspect. Although it has been determined by the system, we know that there is a width among the same difficulty. This would be a relationship to eat guests with the former King Hills capital as a 4 dungeon, and it needs to be investigated.

I've only fought once, but anyone with this content will choose the Wang Capital.

A few wizards are a must for the offense, but as long as you dive into that Reid, you'll just be a bit of a shield and get both experience and drop items. Once you get that drop item, and can process it and make gear, you'll be able to fight it in the avant-garde position from the next time, and even a casual couple of people party will be able to get results.

As a rare on the part of the management, I get experience as a price in moderation, but it is naturally costly because it provides a good quality service. The players also understand that.

As evidence, the number of players attacking the former King Hills Capital is increasing day by day.

I'm not giving you a bonus like the first day of that attack, but I'm still getting paid in return, and eventually I'm getting wiped out.

They don't think about it anymore because of the experience gained and the drops. It seems to be attacking with the idea of how much money we can earn by then, assuming total annihilation. This is often the case with high-difficulty content in games, but this is what King's City is all about. It's amazing.

Given the small number of tents in this Neushloss safety area, it is clear that the former King Hills capital is of higher quality as a service at this time.

But I don't know what changes and how things change.

For example, what happens when a player emerges who will attack this Neuchross?

In the case of an area made up of relatives' in service 'by a single boss, all demons in the area die when that boss is defeated.

At that moment that force loses control of the realm, but not even control at that point. This is also evident from the fact that even when Rae died, the Reebe Great Forest and Tre Forest remained Rae's dominion.

Dominance of an area moves if another single force takes control of that area anew.

In other words, you can only assume that if the boss is defeated by a single force, control will shift to the defeated force. That's when I took down Sugar and took control of the cave. At that moment, only the Rares lived in the cave.

The same goes for players who challenge the dungeon and defeat the boss.

But as long as you're partying with multiple players, you can't be a single force.

In addition to the party that actually defeated the boss, there must be many other parties in the realm. This does not cause the movement of dominance.

Rare appeared in the Thauer prairie, killing or escaping all players, and nobody approached the prairie for some time afterwards.

That allowed me to rule the grasslands.

It was a coincidence in itself, but we were lucky.

I mean, as long as you normally dungeon attack, there shouldn't be any particular change in players crusading dungeon bosses. If the specifications are similar to those of the player's realm ruler, the boss will probably lispawn in three hours, plus the miscellaneous fish will lispawn in that hour.

In that case, if the boss of Neushloss here is easier to defeat than the boss of King Hills' capital and the taste when defeated is greater, it is likely that this one will become more popular.

Taste is unknown when defeated, but I can only say for sure that this boss is easier to defeat. Anyway, the boss of King Hills Capital is a disastrous Sieg, and Sugar and Diaz will also be in help if that Sieg becomes a thing that could be defeated. I don't know if those three can beat even rare in their opponents. I mean, I'm no match for being a bunch of players as far as Rae knows right now.

─ ─ Before that, if the boss here is a player, don't change your mind again. Miscellaneous fish don't need vigilance at this level, so why don't we take a look at the boss's face?
