Golden Experience

Episode 187: The Demon King's Drawing Scenario

The cave was dim but unexpectedly wide.

"Didn't you used to have more water? That's when it spread, maybe."

"I see. Maybe."

As the walls narrowed towards the ceiling, the cave itself looked like some kind of crack.

Although Blanc seems to think that everything was originally an aqueduct because it is a cave that stretches along the underground waterway, it seems more natural to think that one could crack on some clap and the water became a waterway as a result.

There seemed to be a crustal fluctuation that caused this much mass of earth to rise in its entirety, and it was indispensable to the cause of the cracks occurring.

But then it contradicts the hypothesis that Lizardman can no longer emerge due to crustal fluctuations.

There would have been no cracks before the crust fluctuated, so it would have been where Lizardman originally lived.

It would be reasonable to assume that the cave, which also served as the original waterway, was spread by crustal fluctuations.

"Hey, Lizardman was about to become a zombie at first, but if I refuse to respond to system messages, I'll become a skeleton."

"Heh. So if I kept it that way, I'd be a Lizardman zombie or something? If I merged it, I'd be a dragon zombie or something."

"Dragon Zombie! Hmm, but a zombie... The dragon frame is burgundy, so I guess that's enough."

"Aroma of Death (Physics)"

"Stop it!

While we were having a conversation with no other love, we went out to an open place.

This is what Blanc would call an underground lake.

The underground lake was also in the first cave of the Great Rebe Forest, but it was unparalleled in size.

There are a number of things built with soil by that underground lake. It's apparently that one with the Lizardman settlement.

"I wonder if I should take a peek at every one of them"

"Isn't it dangerous?

"Well, then, you guys, bring a few of them in for a minute"

It is hard to believe that both Rae and Bran are in danger where Lizardman's surprise strikes now, but they are caught off guard like that.

I decided to send Tame's Lizardmen to see it.

There aren't so many adults, but the kids seem to be fine.

"Let's stop the kid. Bring me only a somewhat grown individual. And leave some adults behind... no, no. Let all adults be family members. Why don't we just leave some of them here and let them protect the children?"

It is Shizuku Lizardman Ranch.

"I see. I should have done that. I've mostly fucked the guy I saw."

"No, Bran would be a skeleton if he became a family member, right? Skeleton-born child, Lizardman, is worried about emotional education."

Perhaps if I were to become the Commander of the Demon King's Army someday, that would be fine.

"Zombies can do it, too.

"If you really think that's the solution, go around. It's a big deal."

Regardless, I can say I have as many Lizardmen as I can get right now.

I also got a lot of Hills Newt. I've decided to leave them both somewhat untouched, so they should increase again sooner or later.

The growth cycle is too short for human-sized organisms to reproduce, but otherwise it won't work as a game. Looking at examples such as torrents, it seems that in some areas the system has limited the number to not increase more than a certain number, and it is balanced by setting breeding limits instead of growing faster to the adults that can reproduce.

"I don't have any left for Lyla, okay?

"It will increase in time anyway. Plus, there's still plenty of Newt out there, and I'm sure you can afford Lyla after me."

Lyla can't fly before then.

You shouldn't be able to come here as easily as Rae or Blanc.

"No, for example, if you could take over a family member's human avatar and fly to Verdesud on a transfer service and walk from there."

Well, I'll tell you what.

"Please. Lizardman is still a small number, so if you want to catch him, just tell him to leave Newt alone."

"Ohh!

Blanc pushed me so hard that I decided to interrupt the Count's castle further back in time.

"I brought a friend, Count!

"Yes...? You're the Demon King! Give me an appointment!

"... excuse me all of a sudden. I'm sorry."

The Count stood in a throne chair and walked towards the Rares.

This is the first time Rae has been spotted as the Demon King at first sight.

Even if I knew the Demon King, the rare colors would be quite special, but I know them very well.

"No, I don't mind. What kind of day...?

"No, I just stopped by to say hello to someone that my friend took care of me. I came close. Bran always takes care of you."

"Terrible, welcome. This always seems to be bothering you..."

"Is it a catei hormone?

The Count seems to know a lot about Blanc, and as a rare person, he would have liked to have gotten to know himself.

Bran "summoned" a zombie in the corner between his eyes. It may just be harassment, but it's a reasonable landmark on the move.

The Count and I would like to take this opportunity to register as friends, but it is difficult to convey that information to him, who is an important NPC.

With the formula shut up and the fact that no NPC ever existed that knew about this, it's somewhat obvious that the operation doesn't want this in-game world to spread its inventory.

If so, then it is reasonable to assume that Rare's condition now is "acquiescence".

I don't want to be penalized or anything too delicate.

"... first of all, I have no intention of being hostile to the Count."

"My lord, please don't. You don't have to give me a name. You're better than me."

"Me!? Always talking about me!

"─ It would be helpful if there were no hostile intentions for the moment."

"I think there are a lot of other forces, but maybe there are others that are friendly with the vampire forces."

"I don't know much about outside this continent...... At least there will be no such thing as a constantly friendly force for any faction. hands tied or hostile by the circumstances then prevailing. Because it looks like there are people watching the world."

"Monitor the world?

"When something is born that can be a particularly powerful existence, there is such" news ". Unfortunately, I don't have the special skills to receive the news, but some humans and some highly intelligent monsters specialize in it."

I mean the array you hear in your 'spiritual wisdom' system skills.

If you do hear such an announcement, it is natural to assume that you are being watched.

In fact, in the sense that it is being monitored, all of this world is the subject, but there is no mistake in judging that the presence enough to make announcements is viewed as a particularly important subject of monitoring.

And apparently, it is unclear how many exist in the world, but each of the so-called catastrophic beings is somewhat aware of each other and cooperates and is hostile to interests.

Then you can assume that you will not be attacked on purpose unless you harm the other person's interests.

Conversely, if this one does the damage, it means that no other forces bother to put in cross spears even if they fight back without asking questions.

"There were exceptions, however. A golden dragon that once fell from higher than the sky to the northern poles. At that time, all forces temporarily put their hands together to seal the Golden Dragon and cover it with a 'crystal wall' so that no one would break it."

"Well, is crystal wall a skill or something?

"... probably. The Holy King of Time activated it, but she died the last time she activated the Crystal Wall... But the Holy King was a defensive species, so it wouldn't be strange if he had that kind of skill on his own. I don't know how it works, but to destroy or disarm the Crystal Wall, we needed proof of the power of the Spirit King, the Queen of the Bugs, the Sea King, the Phantom Beast King, our true ancestors, and the Holy King, who provided mana at the time of activation."

I've heard it feel like an extension of public discourse, but could this be an open condition for end-content?

In other words, you can unlock the Golden Dragon Crusade content by meeting or defeating the Spirit King, the Queen of the Bugs, the Sea Emperor, the King of Phantom Beasts, the true ancestors, and the Holy King ─ ─

"... you've already got a few people registered."

"I don't know the details because I don't have the Holy King himself. If it's close to the wavelength, if it's not a problem, if a new Holy King or something is born, it's possible."

Additionally, I don't know about the existence of a phantom beast king by oligarchy. It shouldn't have been in the six catastrophes listed in the SNS discussion thread. If I said that, neither the Spirit King nor the Holy King would come in.

If these do not exist in this world at present and are set in some direction by the player's hand, it is the Spirit King that is likely to be the first. Growing an elf or dwarf can create a Spirit King.

If you consider the convenience of a game scenario, it is reasonable to consider the Holy King and the Phantom Beast King to be of similar difficulty. Assuming from the name that the Phantom Beast King is the destination of the Beast Man, then the remaining Holy King can be considered the apex of the Human Being.

This means that the players will grow, or encourage the growth of the nation of the human race, or the catastrophic characters that emerged that way will be defeated if they cooperate, and the flow will be obtained for key items.

We have already launched an offensive against the kingdom of Portley, the land of the elves. Although the important goal is only as a king, Diaz is a character with a grudge against the nation of the human species. It is not necessarily necessary to kill all the royalty with a body that distracts them.

It would then be hopeless to produce a Spirit King from the NPC Elf Country.

Regardless, I am concerned that there are about two people who do not play any role despite being counted among the six major disasters. One more person will be unemployed if we get to the seventh major school, but that doesn't matter now.

"Speaking of which, there was another force that was an exception to the Golden Dragon. An archangel wandering around this continent, he's basically always" hostile "to all forces."

"Is there a reason?

"─ ─ I don't know. They were born quite recently."

"Those?

"That and it's the great demon of the tree sea on the southern continent. Even so, is the Great Devil a little older than the Archangel? I don't care who the Great Devil is, he doesn't seem to fight."

I can imagine from the name that the Archangel has something to do with the Great Devil. Normally speaking, they are paired up like demon kings and spiritual kings. It is natural to think that the roots are of the same species.

It is possible that the recent appearance of both species suggests that they are not the species that originally inhabited the world. They probably weren't there when the Golden Dragon fell.

"... Human, Elf, Dwarf and Beastman had the role of opening up end-content. Skeletons and goblins, well, as I leave it for now. There was another race where players could make initial choices."

A magical creature Rare once tried to create with "Alchemy", but the recipe is still unknown.

That probably won't happen if someone doesn't make the most of 'Alchemy'. Ethnically speaking, "young" is a nod.

"There it is. Was it Homunculus? They have a lot of disadvantages for you with no bonus whatsoever, and when you find out, they certify you as a demon, and modestly, you're in hard mode. Skeleton was Easy."

I don't think Skeleton or Goblin is in Easy Mode, and I feel somewhat berry-hard considering the Sugars were in Blanc's initial position, but I'll put that aside.

Homunculus means that he resembles a human child, but if he is known, he is attacked by mankind as a demon, and from that appearance is normally a prey in the realm of demons. This is the true hard mode of omnidirectional enemies in every situation. Plus, I don't have an XP bonus.

I guess not many players have chosen because I've never seen them on SNS or in the game, but if they can be reincarnated into angels or demons, their value is immeasurable. The early pedigree reincarnation billing items in the example would sell to fly.

"You can't talk about this anywhere else."

"Even if they say something else, Rare only talks to Lyla properly."

"... then okay"

It was meant to be a chat from just a greeting, but somehow it was an event conversation without a deadline.

And perhaps it exists as a mobility cap for the continent, a conversation with the Count of Vampires.

Destroying the Count would have given us information about the hostile forces on the outside continent and information about the end content, but we ignored all such procedures.

Assuming we are going to defeat the Count and have a conversation, it seems that we will need a process that will allow him to recognize us by fighting.

Probably took this form because he was recognized only by his title without fighting.

"Count, thank you for today. I've studied a lot."

"Above all, if it helped you. I was fortunate enough to get acquainted with the Demon King."

"By the way. I've had a lot of stuck information, but what if I ask you about it and you ask me about the resurrection of the Golden Dragon?

The Earl lay his eyes down and laughed lightly.

"Thanks anyway. As far as I know, there is no one who can unseal the Golden Dragon as it is. Assuming that is possible, the person may be able to seal it again or defeat it.

Now that the Holy King is dead, it's opaque how long Crystal Wall will actually be alive. If you can manage that ambiguity, even if the situation could get worse, you should be forced to move it. "

"You think I can do that?

"Right. It must be one of you."

The Earl seemed to be looking at Rae, he seemed to be looking at Bran, and he seemed to be looking very far away.

I'm guessing you're referring to the players. He's probably the most important NPC on this continent. It may have some information or the ability to sense the player or something, within the limits of not affecting the AI personality.

"... let's refine. Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm terribly sorry, but I'm going to give you Bran again."

"I'm so sorry to hear about this,"

I wonder if it's Sanshamendan?

Looks like he's been here a long time. By the time I left the Count's castle, the sun was tilting.

Blanc and I broke up over the castle of the Count, and flew to the woods of Torre with Sugar, who had always been an adult.

But I was able to get a lot of powerful information. Some have mixed speculations, but that's the usual. It's a game, and I don't mind to the extent that you're probably right about this.

It's an exciting scenario just to think about.

If I can, I want to destroy Crystal Wall and Dot and unleash the Golden Dragon ahead of the players. If it is possible to substitute someone else if they are of the same race, there is already a worm queen. You can say that you are at least one hand ahead of the other players in this regard.

The Golden Dragon's liberation will certainly lead to a global crisis.

─ ─ You can act like a demon king with the goal of putting the world in crisis.

This is not to say no to the fact that the "Demon King" was not involved in the conditions for opening the End Content.
