Golden Experience

Episode 257: Evil and Economy

It seems that there aren't many flights from King's Landing to Pasto, and the lord was reluctant, but he managed to get more than twice the price of gold.

As for you, even if you were chartered just for the journey, it would be a waste of empty loads to return from the Past to the King's Capital, and if you can't expect passengers or loads there, it would be because you would have to go back and forth essentially with just one way's worth of money.

If that's why they're asking a lot, you might be able to send them if you pay a lot of money for the journey from Pastor to Route Village.

"It's kind of fun to negotiate prices while thinking about the driver's situation."

"A bunch of basic bills, Rae, if you say so in style, you're just punching me in the gold bag."

"If you have a complaint, Lila will pay for it. About in the game."

Rare is still paying for the transportation.

I don't mind because I'm not having trouble with the money, and I don't have any other expenses that look like expenses, but that should be the same for Lyla.

"No, because I spend quite a bit of money. I don't have that kind of money, especially since I share my personal wallet with people in the country."

"It's the same for me."

"Ah, I'm on a casual basis, too."

It is slightly different from what you said.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with the village of Route?

"I guess I didn't say that. They have a tradition of having a dragon, so I thought I'd go check it out."

"Dragon! You mean natural?

"I guess."

The carriage digests the itinerary lightly.

On the side of the street, you can sense multiple shadows like a burglar, just like Keefa.

Temperatures are also considerably lower around here, and it's not easy to wait and wait for prey, but apparently it's also a harsh occupation to be a burglar.

Bandits, aren't you cold?

"I mean, it's usually easier to hunt demons and stuff and sell them."

"It's just an easy life. Then you're thinking it's not going to work, right?

"The burglar's morning is early, I wonder if it feels like"

It may be big if it hits, but there will be days when nothing will be achieved throughout the day.

But it's the same for hunting and fishing, and hunting creatures and earning a living may be something big or small, whether it's a beast or a monster or a person.

"But if you think about it, in a world where self-sufficiency in every city is fundamental, so is the carriage we are riding right now, but stealing wild is not necessarily turning our labor into gold coins? I don't suppose you're eating just the food of the travelers, or the travelers themselves.

If you think about it, you feel bad for saying it's the most economical activity. "

"Probably the most wicked person on the continent. That's convincing."

"Overall economic power is at the top of the scale! Excellent speech!

He was not willing to take the risk of stealing near the King's Capital, and there was a bandit MP because it was closer to Pasto than the King's Capital.

"I guess I'll get to the paste no more"

"What city is Past?

"There are cities that collect harvests from neighboring rural and mountain villages. It's not as big as Lacoline, so it's probably like Erntal."

"Located in one station from Wangdu, it's smaller than Lacorine."

"Looks like the Beast isn't very good at business. I don't seem to like agriculture very much. The meat from the hunt, the livestock from Wealth's ranch next door, that sort of thing."

Some crops can be transported, but they can't be used for trading in hunting prey. Fur and bone work will rot, not to mention meat.

In other words, there is as much meat as livestock that can be used for business. Living is the freshest state.

It also seems that such a food culture hinders the economic development of the beast man.

"But if we don't work harder from now on, if Humans' huge capital comes on board, the fragile capital of the Beasts and Dwarves. Then they'll be crushed in no time, though."

"Isn't it too late? And Portley? What about the country of the elves?

"It feels like it's been sandwiched by the human country and the ocean from the beginning, so there's no future. Maybe even if Rae and I hadn't shown up, we'd all be economic colonies of Hills or Oral."

Even so, their staple food is fruit. I would have done it on a self-sufficiency basis if I hadn't even had a major problem with the orchard.

I mean, if Lyla hadn't set fire to the orchard, she wouldn't have become a colony.

The strength of the Knights to protect their people from the demons seemed very high for a small number of people, and there would have been no security problems without even a war with the army of skeletons.

"You were a country without luck."

"Past form!?

"If you're lucky, you won't be able to do it anymore, so I think it's going to be in the future."

If you think about it this way, when players think about getting the city and developing it economically, you can say that the only candidate is Wealth or Hills or Oral anymore.

In the first place, Beast, Dwarf, and Elf have a higher Talent Rating than a smaller number, making it a little more difficult for players to "Assign".

"No, I can't even go to Root Village. It doesn't matter how much gold it's loaded."

I was refused.

As soon as I arrived at the Past, I tried to bring the negotiations to the one who carried me here, but this seems to be the case.

Apparently, this man knows the legend of the dragon passed down to Root Village, and it seems to be showing some difficulty.

The legacy of the dragon itself is not so bad, and there is no story that villages and people have been attacked in particular, but it seems that the operation of carriages often depends on luck, and the trick of keeping away from places that smell like kina at all seems to be a long one.

If that is his professional philosophy, then there is no help.

"... what do you do? Resolve with violence?

"... hey, I can hear you. I won't. That's not true."

"Why don't you just walk? The crops and livestock produced in that route village also seem to be sold in this city, because there are streets."

"Come on, if I did, would I walk away? I said no, but it's a bit off the street, but there are demonic areas along the way. The three of you are a little too young to look at."

"Don't worry. Even if I look like this, I'm pretty old. Well, thanks for getting this far. Watch out for the King's Landing."

"That's my line. Well, what is it? Once in a while. I look forward to seeing you next time."

The carriage left the way it came.

I wonder if the next time he wants us to be safe.

"Something, a lot of people in this world are basically sweet."

"I don't know about Blanc, but I guess me and Lyla owe it to their faces. It basically starts with a good impression because it comes with a bonus to your initial preference."

"What a cheat!

The city of Pasto would be Lacoline coarse in size, but it didn't seem so much in terms of vitality.

Even so, Rae doesn't know about the vibrancy of the city's market.

It was only roughly estimated from the number of people who had fled in the city of Lacorine.

Speaking of plain sight, the market size looks smaller than the city of Keefa.

Perhaps it was about the same as it was over there, but the impact of the growing number of players in the city of Keefa is gradually making a difference.

"That doesn't seem like what you need to see, and if someone asks you the right way to Route Village, do you want to go already?

"That's fine, but I'm a little curious to say that there's an area along the way. I wonder if it's registered to the dungeon.

"If it's registered, that's the nearest destination?"

"But, you know, there was talk about us on SNS, NPC going around reinforcing the boss, right? Jeanette and the others stopped writing, so I lost my jewelry. Let's do it again because of it. If you're a player's witness again, it could be a rumor."

"Oh! That's the mastermind move you said at the tea party! I want to do it too!

"Oh. That was fun. All right, let's do it."
