Golden Experience

Episode 256: Arrogance Against Nature

"By the way, how long have you been here now? I mean, how long till the next city?

"I don't know. Given the time we spent on the carriage last time and the speed at which we walked, I think it's still about 20%."

"Huh!? Shouldn't we get there by today?

"Right. Walking is tough."

It seems that the Fatigue Recovery Potion that Remy had previously sold was sold to players in large quantities, which means that's the case.

Players who don't have enough gold to charter a carriage are running around drinking fatigue recovery potions.

"I grabbed the atmosphere and I just said it was okay. I was able to see an event called a bandit raid."

A soft feeling of stepping on the meadow.

Smell of grass trees carried by the wind.

Lighting sunshine and flowing clouds.

They were great a lot, but I can also say that they are honorable because I feel them once in a while.

And I've had enough of it.

Or that the shining sunshine is not something else to welcome for Rae or Blanc.

Well then, I guess I'm satisfied with the walking journey.

"That's right! Next time, let's get on the carriage from the city! It's all yours! I have money!

"... this arrogance to nature really feels like a modern person."

"Lyla's not that old, either."

"Wow! The carriage is, uh! What's going on here?

Ride the carriage rented out in Latifolia and head to the Wang capital.

Now there are no players who stick around and get in the way like last time.

You can fully enjoy the atmosphere of the carriage.

"Sure, I wonder what's going on with this. I don't have any vibrations or anything."

"You didn't 'appraise' me? Your skills. The one that gets all kinds of bonuses when riding an abiotic vehicle, called 'driving'. Looks like the tree also has" speed increase "and" vibration reduction. "

"Is the carriage non-biological? I wonder if horses would be under the jurisdiction of 'riding' if they were alone."

"Right. And because of that, we can travel comfortably."

If you have acquired such a skill, you can say that you are a professional engineer. The high cost of chartering a carriage means nodding.

Plus the cost of maintaining the horse's life and health.

The conversation in the room seems to be made by someone you don't hear. For this reason, if you are renting out, you can not hesitate to have a conversation like this.

If there is a fire emergency, pull the string hanging in the room and the bell at your hand will be played and a sound will be heard.

"This horse? I wonder if it belongs to you. In other words, are you an individual business owner or a member of a company that owns multiple horses and carriages?"

"Rae, are you thinking of something bad again?

"I don't want Lyla to tell me."

Considering the need for highly expensive equipment such as carriages and specialized technology such as "driving" skills, it can be said that while riding carriages is a highly public business, they have aspects that tend to become an exclusive market.

If it is normal, it is reasonable to assume that it is operated with some authorisation from the State, or by the State itself, as is the case for real railway undertakings, for example.

It also has the advantage that the state can manage the transportation network, which can be a logistical necessity at times of need.

However, even after the collapse of the state in the Hills, there has been no change in the operation of carriages in the Hills, and there are no reports on the operation of carriages to the lords of some of the cities under their control, so it seems that there is little breath on the institutional side.

As Lyla said earlier, perhaps there is no law enforcement. Otherwise, Lyla wouldn't know.

"You mean like currency, you don't really think about the importance of logistics and transportation networks"

"Well, it's like a world where demons and all that stuff are walking around. Too risky.

We have a dedicated carriage for the Oral deal, so it's a no-touch on the public carriage. It's not a very profitable area. "

That may indeed be the case.

The current streets are laid to avoid the realm of demons, but that doesn't mean absolutely either.

So, if you do something like insurance, maybe this area will become a little more active.

"Do you do it?

You can do it, but it's troublesome.

One way or another, such a business is an area that Lila seems to like.

"Speaking of which, how come Lyla hasn't done it?

"I have control over the safety of domestic and neighboring trade routes. Just sniping down a caravan that has nothing to do with me makes you profitable. It is more profitable to trade exclusively than to earn with insurance premiums. Domestic logistics also mostly depend on my breath, so it would be better to earn it normally. I can't afford to allocate human resources to the insurance business."

This can be said to be the same for the hills.

Currently, the chambers of commerce, which were already the main ones remaining within the Hills, are usually under the authority of Gustav's Urban Chamber of Commerce.

"Something's hard to talk about again, but I mean, with Yuko?

"Rae came up with a new scam, and I'm talking about making more money solving it with violence than that."

I see?

"I don't... I don't, but you don't listen well!

"So-so. Rare is better at solving problems with physics, isn't she?

"Also? Who are you with?

Laughter leaks from the carriage room.

With such a soothing atmosphere, the carriage arrived in the Wang capital.

"To tell you the truth, there are many cases where it is more reasonable to solve with physics, so I'm just saying that I put weights in physics, and I'm not really good at that...."

Wow! Wow! What's this fortress?

Bran hasn't listened.

But I don't know how it feels.

Though not so loud, Rare was overwhelmed when she first saw this pair of royal castles.

"Looks like they built a castle in the middle of a natural rocky mountain. When things happen, the people are evacuating to that royal castle."

"Lyla, you know everything!

"Whatever..."

"That would be Margaret's take-out."

The majestic imperial castle boasts the same prestige as when it came before.

If not, I feel like there are a lot of warriors.

The last time I came, there were a small number of guards standing around the station, and there was no such thing as soldiers patrolling on a platoon basis.

"Something's nasty. I wonder if something happened."

I don't know.

"I thought something happened.

"Just in case, let's switch to a friend chat. It's a hassle to get extra prying.

The security must be frivolous because of an intruder in the royal castle.

This vigilance is also nodded if the contents of the library are taken from you.

Nothing. I don't have business in Wangdu. What do we do?

I wonder if there are souvenirs. Iwayama Castle Sembei.

'There can't be. Is there a concept of tourism in the first place?

There's tourism itself, isn't there? There will be merchants and nobles coming to King's Landing. If you think so, there may be souvenirs. Well, it takes a lot of time and risk to get around, so there's probably not a lot of souvenirs for food.

A wooden knife, then.

Isn't that a pennant?

Because the Pennant souvenir culture was made popular by Nihon towel makers, it can't be found in this world.

The Rares are a suspicious threesome because they see it as a black and white red hooded robe, but there are many different people if they are to be king capitals.

Normally, I would have been thrown through because I was a Gentile again, but that's not the case now.

Because no matter what you think about stealing all that stuff from the Royal Castle library, you need an inventory, and it's clear that the killer is a player.

Though I was never called off, I realized it had been marked by soldiers since I got off the carriage.

So, the soldier is a rare breathtaking soldier who invited Janet and the others into the royal castle.

The only reason they weren't suspected was because the killer is considered a player. The NPC's average soldier has no advantage in guiding players to steal books, and the purpose of the players who stole them in the first place is not clear.

As a result, there is no doubt that the Gentiles served the country before they began to explode, that is, before the start of official service.

I've arranged a bug repellent, so you can take a tour of Wang Du if you want, but what do we do?

You want to go inside the royal castle?

"I guess I can never do it in the sense of tourism. Maybe if it was an assault or an infiltration.

No outsiders can enter the ordinary royal castle without being under guard.

If you can't get into the castle, fine.

Let's keep looking for a carriage to the next city. The sooner you charter it, the sooner.

Is the king's capital the end point for the one who just rode in? I was wondering if you could charter me to the next city.

It may depend on the negotiations, but the carriage only runs on one basic route, so it's probably between King's Landing and Keefa. The distance to run is usually one section, and it's about two sections at most. Also, I don't think there are any routes that run beyond King's Landing, because it's basically the end of King's Landing.

It would be quick to talk if you 'served', but that would not be the same as usual.

Besides, if you've never been there before, there's no particular point in handing over the carriage you brought here.

Normally, let's charter a carriage from King's Landing. I don't know if there is a carriage going to Route Village, but the nearest city is probably Pasta. If we get there, it looks like we can charter one and get there straight away.

After that, you can go to the city of Pasto and think about it.

Though the border, some support from a nearby city would be needed for the village to do it, and it shouldn't be without access at all.
