Golden Experience

Episode 234: Kill With Your Eyes

"I wish I'd gone cool with a Summon Monster or something."

"If you do that, you'll get back to where you came from."

"No, it doesn't really disappear when it disappears in Camo. The bear smelled something. Well, there was nothing else I could do, and I couldn't help it."

Rae and Lyla were walking away from the boss area and towards the city of Keefa.

This is my opportunity, and I haven't given up on walking and traveling. I just took one peek at the dungeon yet.

From that place, once I left somewhere in "Summoning," I could have gone back near the entrance to this dungeon with the transfer service again from Reflection, etc., just after I had already teased the mastermind moves. I don't want others to see much of a player-like scene.

For the time being, I was able to generally clear up the verification I wanted to do.

It is the acquisition of the Resurrection, and the use of the Sage's Stone.

Regarding the conditions for obtaining the "Resurrection", as Bran inspired, it was right to try to revive it once, even if it was an item.

This can also be said to mean that the player has not previously had an acquirer of 'Resurrection' because it was restricted by the operation.

Because Zagreus' heart is only available by defeating the Archangel when it comes to obtaining the 'Resurrection'.

"As Lyla said, if the Archangel crusade had been pushed forward unexpectedly, it would have been possible to acquire this Resurrection later."

"Well, maybe he was going to send out resuscitation items with the benefit of attending an event or something."

Either way, now whoever it is can fight an archangel.

And if you win, you'll get this resurrection item.

Few players will know what this is at present, but you'll know this is a resuscitation item if an item is sold that makes' appraisal 'possible.

"Now you can hunt as many archangels as you want, and you can get an infinite number of hearts. From now on, there might be a player party that's going to be 'resurrected'."

"Right, you know what? That's not true. You can't beat me that easily. I haven't seen how many parties those 100 + players ended up in yesterday, but I don't think they could have done it anyway."

Indeed, the Archangel is, to the best of Rae's knowledge, the strongest event boss of the status quo, and that remains unchanged even if it had weakened somewhat.

It will take a little time now to be able to crusade steadily with positive methods.

And even if, for example, we were able to crush them at a raid party of 30 people, we could only get one heart.

I need to circle 30 if I want to get everyone ready.

"Well, from now on. Even if you walk to Keefa's town like this, do you want the city to just peek? Or do you do something?

What does it mean to do something? I want you to stop calling people like dangerous terrorists or something.

However, it is a portal and there is no option to do nothing.

"I'd like to go into the right store, merchants, craftsmen, whatever, but I'd like to keep a few of the city's NPCs in my family. I want to make a shortcut that moves when I have to.

Besides, it's a portal, and I want to know if there are any suspicious moves for players. I wonder if there are more people who aren't the main fighter, or people who aren't at the right rank for 1. "

"I guess I'll make some subdivisions, too. I don't have a beast man under my command."

"In the meantime, if that's the purpose, I guess I should just go around the city pretending to be the NPC of the journey as always. But..."

"But what?

"No, it would be super suspicious if the NPCs on the journey were walking with their bare hands."

"Uh. Well, isn't that okay? Let's take the super suspicious NPC route now. The reaction of the player kids earlier, something a little freaked out. Is it good that the suspicious robe is actually a mastermind? It's like a white robe and a black robe."

I know what you're trying to say.

"There's another suspicious red robe."

The suspicious red robe should be leaping in shape by now. What we are doing is no different from what we are doing here.

Then he broke into the city of Keefa, the city of Portal in Pairé.

Even so, I didn't come in snugly. I usually walked through the castle gate. There were guards at the castle gate, but they were just watching for monsters in the nearby Abu Hang wetlands.

As long as it looks human and is properly dressed, the guards won't basically stop it.

Except for the story if you commit any crime, but at least neither Rae nor Lyla have committed any ostensibly criminal acts in the game. It would naturally be a crime to kill PCs and NPCs in the streets, but if all the witnesses disappeared, it wouldn't have been there either.

That's very lively. Not as good as this reflex with my Felicita or Rae.

Quite a lot of people from the size of the city. Not all of them are players, so there must be NPCs that have moved with the number of players.

Walk down the city's boulevard chatting appropriately in a friend chat.

This secret conversation in the brain is also the most mastermind and entertaining, but since it is a basic specification for the system, it is something that anyone can do if they want to.

A pair of black and white robes walking through the city is suspicious, but not as noticeable as I thought.

"It's a good thing it's not noticeable. Let's not just relax and enjoy the trip."

It's not inconspicuous, it's just inconspicuous.

Some beasts glance at us from time to time, but it's not like they care about us ever since. There's a strange guy walking around, but he says it's a routine in this city.

Recently, there have been more players and they have become accustomed to strangely dressed characters.

Now, we know more or less what's going on in the city, and will you try to look after the poor victim?

Poor victim? It's a happy collaborator's mistake. In the meantime, immortality is promised while the service continues.

<... I wonder if it's up to you to be happy. >

Ah!

"Yeah?"

Walking in search of a larger shop or something, a splendid inn was built in exactly what could be called a first-class place, facing the boulevard.

Watching without any concern, the beast man who just came out of there suddenly shouted at me with his finger.

"Ku, mastermind!

"You're disrespectful all of a sudden. Who are you..."

Oh, this girl.

<... the player who was playing with the bear. Already here at this time means he died soon afterwards.

And it seems that this inn was the point of Lisbon.

I never thought I'd accidentally resume this short time in this big city.

However, if the players are based in the city, they will naturally stay in the inn, and if the people outside the city are the main targets, it is no wonder they were built on the street.

Honestly, I didn't expect that weak player to have enough money to stay in this ranked accommodation, but he seems to be making so much more efficient money.

"Your sister's rude. You were in the wetlands earlier, weren't you, Gentile? Did you enjoy playing with Leopard Bear? What happened to your other friends?

"Behold! Bo, do you remember!? About us!

"Well, you won't forget it now, just now. You're making a fool of yourself."

"... even though it's an event NPC..."

Enhanced hearing picked up the player's twinkle of the Beast Man.

Oh, I mean, that. Are you touched by the fact that the NPC at the mastermind's position remembered his name?

Sounds like it. But anyway, if you just have time to be happy that you've been remembered thanks to timing, you just have to work hard to make the NPC remember by engraving something into the game world with your strength.

"... indeed, I can tell you that Rae has carved an unforgettable scar on this continent."

Even so, we have only destroyed one country in public. It is not enough to inscribe its name on the whole continent.

That's not what I'm here for, and I haven't revealed my name in the first place.

"... what are you doing to this city!... Hmm?

I don't know if it's a good prestige or what. I guess it's because I don't know how to get this one out.

It seems to be well understood that if you care, you will destroy every city.

I think it's a sightseeing. I'm just looking around. "

"... By the way, are you staying in this inn?

"Yes, but?

"Is it a good inn?

"Well, it's only expensive, and the room, service, and dining levels are quite high..."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Are you going to use this inn?

Until now, it was all about chambers of commerce and churches, but it wasn't a bad place to stay, or if I wanted to monitor the players, there were no more favorable conditions.

Lyla nodded, "Hmm," and then looked across the street. And I stopped my eyes somewhere.

If you follow your gaze, there was a mercenary union there.

No, that's not good. I'm sorry if I'm connected to the operation.

I mean, we're connected. That's why I don't get my hands on the mercenary union itself. But...

Lyla stopped talking once and walked towards you.

Hey, I'm gonna take a look over there. Rae, don't be impotent. "

What do you think it is?

"That, uh, where's the black guy going...?

"Come on? More than that, look at me...."

Gently raise the hood and lower the cloth covering the mouth.

I endured dazzling and my eyes opened.

Eyes meet beast players staring at Rare's face in surprise.

"'Enchanted'"

I showed my face just in case.

Having been defeated so easily by that kind of bear, this player would not be able to resist any of them, but he exposed his face to the effects of beauty and super beauty.

Because it is also during the day that I used 'charm' rather than 'fear'. 'Fear' would be more effective in the dark, but 'charm' is probably better if it adds a bonus of character as well.

─ ─ ……

The Beast player - certainly a tank that was called Margaret or something - is rigid and stares at Rare with a decent look.

That said, I wasn't really fascinated by rare beauty.

It's just a game state anomaly.

Bran says that even if a player is' charmed ', he can't do anything without the activator's permission. Unlike' Fear ', my vision remains intact, but I hear mysterious sparkling and pink effects are scattered instead. It doesn't matter.

"... I wonder if it took 'fascination'. Well, I hope you're just a little quiet on the spot."

Leaving Margaret on the spot, Rae twisted the luxury inn's warm curtains.

Rare is the mastermind of the event and the NPC has done something to the inn, but it's not particularly troubling.

Even if the owner or employee of the inn were to "serve", he or she would still be a resident of this city.

Even if this player speaks of this matter and, along with many other players, tries to do something about the inn, the player who did something just becomes more of a criminal. On the other hand, the staff of the family home can lispawn even if they are dead.

Besides, the purpose here is to monitor the players.

If the players can monitor this inn, it will save us trouble.

Margaret seemed to be staring at Rare's back as she disappeared into the inn. "Enchantment" cannot be distracted from the person you are calling unless otherwise instructed.
