Golden Experience

Justine admired the knight.

It's a cool night to protect weaknesses, appearing in real life creations, etc.

So much so that I also named this character Justine after a nuance like Justice and Law.

The old stories of many famous knights coming out are drooling with affair and betrayal, but it's not bad to be human again.

The game is inspired by the general fantasy world and includes knights as well as in-game.

In the first report before the closed test, a knight character waved his sword in a 3D video that was released as a key visual. It can be said that I applied because I saw it.

Unfortunately, it leaked to the tester's selection, but I was able to start the game on the first day of formal service.

The story of the Knights of Youth was supposed to begin that day.

To begin with, I was surprised that no so-called professions existed, such as jobs or classes, as a system.

For, even if you behaved like a knight, it would only be self-proclaimed and not a real knight.

I mean, it's like a dark doctor.

It is not such an outlaw existence that Youth wants to be. socially recognized, chief among them is the rank of knight as a public official.

The first country Judith chose was the "Oral Kingdom".

This country is relatively strengthened by demons that appear in the country among the human kingdoms, hence the strength of the Knights. That's why I chose Oral because it was in the official website description of the state.

I want to join the mighty Knights anyway.

Flew in the first random spawn was near a historic city full of majestic castles.

Hugel cup, I hear.

I thought it was Wang Du, but it wasn't. But the story of the resident NPC seems to have more history than the Wang capital, and even more recently, a new lord seems to have taken office, and the city was full of vitality.

It's like a big city in the fantasy world. Excellent.

I was lucky to have randomly attracted this city.

If I walked down the street, the occupational system shouldn't exist, but it was often different from the NPC, which dresses and behaves like a knight.

I don't think the NPC is playing games, and it's probably a decent knight.

This would mean that although it does not exist as a system, it is established as a social status.

That's what we should aim for then.

So Justine first decided to monitor the behavior of the knightly NPCs.

Their mission, their people, their behavioral patterns.

What kind of life do you usually live and what layers of people do you associate with?

Is there something like fraud or what is your salary?

It is possible to estimate salaries roughly from the level of living.

But I couldn't look into it that far at this time.

Because I never saw a chance for the knights to pay the gold coins in the store.

Apparently, there's a full subsidy out there because it's a country or a city for the minimum living conditions, including meals.

At the time of the meal, he gave the shopkeeper something like a wooden plaque, through which he had turned it into a payment. This is the same with buildings like money and water, and I tried to follow the lady knight and soak them in the same hot tub, but those ladies didn't pay the gold either.

I also followed him to the accessory store, saying that there would be no assistance in boulders with ornaments, etc.

But the accessories would also seem to be treated as equipment, and by signing something like paper, this was also accepting the item without making a payment.

I almost held my head that if I don't know my salary, I can't put it in my options as a place to work... etc., but if I think calmly, I don't get a job separately.

It's only a story in the game, and if you can play a knight, you're happy with it.

At least as far as the mission was concerned, it seemed appropriate to call it a knight, such as keeping the city safe, crushing monsters that occasionally appeared in the suburbs, and capturing criminals.

The neighbors were all good people, and the neighborhoods, like the slums, where the dark people were gathered, didn't get too close apart from the mission.

Besides, if food and clothing are subsidized by the state, in a less entertaining gaming world - which is a strange story - I don't feel dissatisfied.

I mean, knights are great places to work. I am a civil servant.

They also seemed to be in and out of the mercenary union, but apparently the knights were taking care of the mercenary quests instead.

For a city like this Hugel Cup that doesn't have the demonic realm on its side, the means for players to gain experience right after the game starts is limited.

Beyond the difficulty of defeating enemies and gaining XP, you can only receive XP as a quest reward by completing a request posted in the Mercenary Union.

This experience is not strictly set as a reward, but by tracing a series of actions called quests, you can end up with an experience depending on their content. Therefore, it is not a fixed value, but the amount obtained if the player consumes experience and grows.

In the case of the Hugel Cup, there was an area of demons a short distance from the city.

A place where players who grow up with quest rewards will have as many enemies as they think fit. If the experience gained in Quest rewards is diminishing, you can grow further by stretching your legs and defeating monsters.

That's how we step up will be the movement at the beginning in big cities that are not adjacent to these areas.

But in this city the quest at the beginning of it is cleaned up by the knights.

Of course, if you tell them that you want to accept the request, the knights will give it to the mercenaries and the players, but the residents will know when they see the knight receiving the request.

If the knights are going to do it anyway, there are also people out there who think it would be quicker to ask the Knights directly without going through the union.

And gradually there were fewer requests themselves, fewer novice players, and as a result no mid-level players were born, making this city an unusually low number of players for a large city.

But Justine couldn't get away from the city and kept investigating.

The next thing Justine did was get along with the knights.

To know how they came to be knights.

But if you hear it all of a sudden, you'll be absolutely alert. First, we need to sensitize the tunnels and lower the barriers to our hearts.

I was confident about this.

Anyway, I've cleared a lot of games in my hand.

Of course, it's just a genre where the target of attack is the knight.

So Justine got to know the knights little by little, and at some point, she was able to get information that would probably be important.

It is a rumor about the rise and fall of neighboring Hills.

Rumor has it that the knights who serve the country say so. There will be some credibility.

I just looked into the matter on the SNS, but apparently the letter Hills disappeared from the official website.

The information was correct. After all, neighboring Hills is doomed.

However, it is obviously strange for players with access to official websites to know at this time that the knights of the end know of the destruction of their neighbors at this level of technology in the game world.

If you left him alone in the hills, it might be possible to use something like a pigeon, but in any case, that kind of information won't come back to the knights.

And the knight has nothing to hide. I feel like I answered because I was asked.

It bothered me at this time, but I couldn't look into it any further, and then I forgot.

A few days later, a coup d 'état broke out in King Oral's capital.

Even so, it was the SNS that found out the fact. And by the time I found out, I was already breathing.

It wasn't the coup itself that surprised Justine.

The mastermind who dared it, no. He's considered the best collaborator of the mastermind.

What a Lordship of this Hugel Cup with Justified.

Maybe that rumor, the rumor of the demise of Hills, was spread with the aim of loosening surveillance of inner worries by causing the eyes of the head of the Oral King's capital to be directed at neighboring Hills.

I can't believe there's a character who thinks about it while it's NPC.

Justine wanted to take a glimpse of its lord and the presence of a new queen at the service of the lord.

There is a considerable distance to the Oral King's Capital. Fortunately, however, by using a limited transfer service during the event, you can travel to a neighboring city only once a day.

Using an event-only transfer service, Justine managed to slip into the Oral King Capital the next day to see the ceremony of the new queen's throne.

At that time, a knight with full body armor was next to the new queen. That was Lord Hugel Cup.

It's a woman because of her shape. This fact was also the first to be known at this time. Justine, who wanted to be a knight, reflected on the fact that she had focused too much on finding out all about the knight and had not looked into the person at heart to serve.

The lord's armor shines gold reflecting the light of the sun, and his majestic appearance is like a painting.

The helmet was still covered during the ceremony, and the visor didn't even try to raise it. Probably watching out for the former king's assassin.

No matter how successful the coup was, the former king is still alive for some purpose. If the former Kings kill the new queen here, she will be Ami the original tree.

Exactly the spirit of the battlefield. Even though she had a high status as a lord, she didn't seem to have any more knights.

At this time, Justine also knew that professional knights could not be employed as game specifications unless they became "dependants" of the aristocratic class.

If you become a family member, you won't be able to gain experience on your own. But when he dies, he loses the last of his experience.

It's a short and long specification, but it's not that important to Youth.

It is a system that is very satisfactory when you think of experience as salary.

That's what palace service is all about.

Youth thought.

I really want to be a family member of that Hugel Cup lord.

Justine remained in the King's Capital for a while, but went back to the Hugel Cup himself as the lord returned.

Then weeks passed.

During the third event, the Angel Raid, Justine was to be called to Hugel Cup Castle.

On that day, as usual, he went to the Knights' quarters and handed in a cloudy jewel, a sign of angel crusade.

As far as it's given to SNS, that doesn't seem to be the case in other countries, but here in Oral it seems to be the name of this angel's dropped cloudy gem, a sober heart, but this gem has been picked up by the Knights and Guard stuffs and so on, with a bounty out for its high contribution to the country depending on the number of submissions.

At the time of submission, an autograph was required to prevent fraud, and Justine had filled it in every time.

Because of this system, I had the impression that the players were getting slightly more here in Oral during this event.

Other than Oral, for example, Hills seems to have formed something called a merchant union, and that merchant union is buying away a clean heart. From what I've heard from the residents of the city, they say the heart has no loco use, so I guess that's also for the purpose of wanting the mercenaries to defeat the angels more, in short, the same as the Oral.

Because the state no longer exists in Hills, a merchants union has been set up as a representative of the inhabitants.

In the kingdom of Wells, an NPC called the Virgin has emerged, fighting angels and monsters around King's Landing to protect people.

The Virgin is so beautiful that it also attracts players aiming for it.

On these matters, Justine wondered if the operation was intentionally tekoing with the aim of bringing attention to those three countries in order to actively protect the humans, who are relatively weak as races.

Anyway, as usual, the knights who worked as direct reports to the lord called out when they submitted their hearts and signed their names.

The knight speaks of a Gentile - a player - whose knight or soldier is active in an excellent aural that does not take a pull from his knights. This is what is often called here in Oral - the name stopped in the eyes of the lord. I was wondering if you'd be willing to serve as the Knight of the Hugel Cup, if that's all right.

Youth rejoiced at the haste of flying.

Many players just paid for the bounty, but Youth was different.

Contribution to the country, that part was caught.

If you're weighing the contributions of the players, maybe that'll pave the way for a knight from there.

That's what I was going to do and I was investing in the event.

I can tell you that this offer from the knight is exactly the result of that thought being fulfilled.

I guess the name at the time of that submission also had the purpose not only of preventing fraud, but also of creating the ranking of the submitter on the Lord's side.

Maybe that's where Justius got to the top.

Entering the castle with an escort of knights, it was a majestic and splendid interior of the street I watched from the outside.

It's not that it's just gorgeous. All the furnishings are aged, and I feel like I'm polishing up the old ones with care.

On the contrary, there is not a single new one.

It would mean that I haven't bought any extra conditioning since I replaced my current lord.

From these parts, you can also become a lord, and you can see the knighthood and rigidity.

It was through several hallways as it was, up the stairs, around the corner, and through it was a room like an office room.

There was also a bookshelf and desk in the room with the season in it, and the woman who seemed to be the lord was doing some paperwork towards that desk.

A gentle beauty with long black hair on her back.

It doesn't overlap with what you saw that day because you weren't wearing armor, but it's impossible for someone else to pretend to be a lord and sit in the office.

Although the outfit you are wearing is also an aristocratic sophisticated design, it was not so much Huamei, it was somewhere functional, as I had imagined the castle to be.

The lord stood up and walked over to Justine's place when he confirmed that the knights and Justine had entered the room with permission.

"You must be Youth. I've heard rumors. They say you're very good. Not only that, but it is unusual for Gentiles to actively defend the city. Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean to discriminate against Gentiles."

"No! It's true that there are a lot of selfish people!

I can't help it because I'm a player.

Even so, if you want to use the city as a base, it is naturally better to have a high sensitivity from residents NPC.

Players who say it's troublesome can play monsters or outlaw gangs or bandits.

"I don't know if you're listening, but I called you here today because I was wondering if you could be my knight. Of course, even if I say no, there's nothing special about doing something to you, and I'll have a separate thank you for what you've done so far.

I don't know what it's like for you Gentiles because I've never heard of it before, but it's a life-changing issue for us to be someone's family. I don't mind if you take enough time to think. "

I don't need time to think.

"It's okay! Best wishes! Make me your knight!

Individual name: Do you want to apply for a family member to Liliene Hugel Cup?

I have received a confirmation message from the system in response to Youth's words. Yes, of course it is.

I didn't get a name for you earlier, but this Lyriene is definitely the name of the lord. The surname bears the name of the city.

─ ─ Ever,... I see this.

Are you sure? If you're sure of that feeling, you can appoint one now. "

"It's okay! I'm sure of it!

"... you look a little like a kid I know. Well, if you say so. Then let's allow it. ─ ─ Now you're my family. Thank you very much."

"Individual name: I am now a member of the family of Lylene Hugelcup"

See Help for specifications when a player becomes a family member

There is no need to refer to it.

It has been loaded well since I learned the specification.

"If it's true, I'd like to run the appointment ceremony briefly, but now it's an emergency, so forgive me."

Emergency situations are probably because they are in the middle of the third event. There's no way I could be performing a ceremony with an angel attacking me.

"Not to mention!

"... it would help if you could say that. First off, I guess, supplies. Use this cover if you want to purchase additional equipment. The disposable copy paper is pinched, so if you sign it, you can give the autographer to the store and the photographer to the accountant. The accounting place is later Kirks, uh, the knight who escorted you this far, but ask him. Don't get me wrong because there are front and back copies of paper. And then..."

"Um, I'm sorry. What is photocopy paper?

"Oops, sorry. Recently imported from a nearby city. Look, this is it... In this way, only one side of thin paper is coated with special paint. Here's the thing, when you write a letter on a hard desk between the paper you want to write and the paper..."

Lord Reiliene signed three sheets of paper on the desk.

Then, the signature that was supposed to only be written on the first sheet was copied in exactly the same handwriting on the third piece of paper.

"What is this! Scan or copy? Is that the kind of magic item or something?

"No, there would be only one side of black paper, sandwiched in between. Thanks to this. So when I write letters between them, this black paint is transcribed onto a piece of paper facing each other by brush pressure. So when you pinch it, you have to pinch it so that the black side looks down. Be careful."

I was surprised that pure industrial technology made it possible to copy signatures, not magic or skills.

Even so, it seems that the creation of the paint itself requires techniques such as' dispensing 'and' blacksmithing '.

I've never even seen such an item in real life. There is nothing like signing autographs, and instead of copying autographs, it is a technique that is completely unnecessary in modern times, whether it is paper or metal, but synthetic resin, but can make whole copies.

A special technical system dedicated to copying signatures, the so-called Galapagos evolution or something like that.

"Then, this is the quote used for meals, etc. Don't lose it. I distribute a pair of these to the city's restaurant. This decimal has a special magic, and when paired, the letters glow. This discount allows us to eat in most shops. You don't have to worry because the money is paid in bulk from the castle's accounting. The same goes for the bathhouse."

Normally, I wouldn't remember being explained this much at once, but it's Justified, who has been stalking the knights for so long to find out how they behave. There's a lot I already know, and it's before breakfast to remember this extent.

"That's all I have to explain. Let the dormitory guide you to another knight later. It is strictly forbidden for the opposite sex. I can't guide girls to the dormitory in Kirks.

Rest assured, Gentiles know that sleep can be irregular and prolonged from time to time, so don't let anyone into your room in principle. "

That honestly helps.

Being a knight of this lord is probably a special event that can happen under certain conditions.

I may get more player colleagues if I stream this information to the SNS, but I also feel like it's kind of a shame.

I usually only write about one thing in the chat thread, etc., but the SNS itself checks.

In the main event thread and the book thread of each country, there are usually players who experience it as if they were the protagonists.

For example, a player named Wayne, famous for neighboring Hills.

His high event boss encounter rate is unusual. Sometimes I was at the forefront of what originally triggered the demise of Hills, and apparently even that event boss, who is an NPC, recognizes me individually. You again, or someone from the party said they called you, etc.

Honestly, I envy you.

That's what I want to be, a special player.

The famous players in this aural are Yoichi and Monkey, but they can be called special frames. I didn't seem to be involved in the coup in King's Landing.

Then may I decide on the protagonist of this Oral Kingdom?

And speaking of the protagonist, he would still be an adventurer or a knight. By mistake, Nurse, to the weird, special nature of clothes, well, you shouldn't be suspicious.

"Next, let's pay for the gear. You're the one with the matching armor. It is a delicacy with the crest of my neck engraved on my chest and shield. Not that you're Gentile, but let me give you something that's made of a different material than the rest of us, even though the design itself is aligned. We just need to test the new gear in action. Well, I think it's part of my first assignment and I want you to try one."

With the lord's guidance, he was taken to the castle's basement, armory or some kind of cool room.

The hallway was dim, but the room was bright, and there was plenty of magic lighting when I looked up.

When it comes to magic lighting, it's not cheap. Given that, I can say it's more luxurious than I've ever seen in the city.

Even so, given the image of the castle and the character of the lord, I don't think he's spending money pointlessly.

It's probably the best way to store the Knights' equipment to protect the city.

"This is it. I don't know if you know, but there are two types of metal used in this armor. This platinum-coloured part of the base is a light and magically affinity metal called mythrill. However, the strength is not so great. Of course, it's stronger than iron or magic iron. And this black metal that guards the outside of the mythrill is called Adamas. This one has a low magical affinity and is very heavy, but it's just as sturdy. It has high defense against both physical and magical attacks."

I haven't heard much about this game, but both are famous as fantasy metals. I heard that there were players who barely received Mithrill as a reward for the last event, but Adamas is completely new. It is a very rare and high-ranking material that I have never heard of, even though it is famous.

"Then there's the sword and the shield. This one is made of the same material. Especially since the sword was struck with its own technique of using misrills on core gold and Adamas on hide gold, which has been made repeatedly with enormous trial and error. This becomes the first of its finished products. I would love for you to test it and use it in the future."

"Um, this could be a very valuable item..."

"Hehe. You don't have to be so nervous. The creation technique itself has already been established. I can make as many ingredients as I want. All you have to do is brush it up for more completion."

Not good.

This could be the first clearance privilege for a special event or something like that.

No, absolutely.

If they find out, PK may target them.

I don't mind if I'm the only one who sucks, but I don't have the face to match the lord who trusted me with this gear by believing in me.

It is no longer possible to circulate information to the SNS on this matter.

"And, uh, something a little sweet from the armor? It smells like..."

"... ahh. Well, there are parts that reuse what I used before. I'm sorry."

"No, absolutely not! Thank you!

"? Well, I hope so. Now, as you may imagine from the equipment I gave you, what I want from you is a so-called magical swordsman. It's an all-rounder, but both swords and magic are finished to a high standard. I'm sure these equipment will be necessary for that.

Of course, we'll have everything else we need for that, teachers, support roles, etc., whenever possible. It'll help you grow up. I've been thinking about a lot of quests. For example - "
