Golden Experience

In the ruins of Prospere, north of King Pare, there was information that the legacy of the ancient Spirit King was sleeping.

This was obtained by examining the literature left behind in the prized castle of Pairé.

The legacy of the Spirit King itself is also found in the treasure trove of the Royal Castle.

A group of treasures called hidden artifacts.

This was inherited as being equally divided among nations, but it is also not seen in the treasure trove of other countries. I can't even find out if it is really properly divided.

The presence of this artifact has long brought peace to the continent.

We are alert to each other's artifacts, so there is no need to argue. The legacy of being divided evenly also applauds it. No matter what country you quarrel with, if they hold just as many trump cards as their own, it's because we're not free of each other.

In Pairé, the kingdom of beasts, we've had this artifact for a long time. No, because there has never been a war, it would have been the same in any country.

If this is an even-handed relationship because of it, then the artifact now has only a customary meaning simply to reciprocate positions.

In other words, no country can count this as a force.

There are regular angelic raids on the continent.

Moreover, in recent years, more and more people have been called Gentiles and others in this country, with the strange ability of a vault.

Sometimes they act with reason that the beasts don't understand, often causing trouble and disturbances.

Also, the area where monsters live is not always stable.

About six months ago, demons overflowed all over the continent, causing enormous damage to various cities.

Even in this pair, we hear that a whole city called Neuschloss was consumed by demons and that the surrounding people launched a resentful raid on Shape, a neighbor who was less damaged.

The Hills kingdom was destroyed by the seventh disaster that was born at that time. But thanks to the big news, the news of the beast who invaded the shape without a doubt became less obvious.

Then came the angel without setting aside the time, and at that time a new eighth disaster was born.

Exactly in turbulent times.

All of this could also be related to the Gentiles in the example and the increase in their doings.

The vault itself had appeared every once in history.

None of them, however, were so large in number that they could be described as special in some ways.

But decades ago, there was a time when thousands of vault holdings were confirmed at a time.

The period ended in just a few weeks, and the Gentiles in the vault disappeared like smoke.

At that time, there was no case in particular.

Most countries won't recognize it as important, and it won't even be in history books or anything.

But King Pairé was different.

Sometimes the elves and the humans called it a "wild inquiry," and it was just an animal flash that they felt was the dawn of a new era.

It can be said that the peace of the present continent is built on such a volatile board with artifacts evenly on a huge balance, for example.

It is foolish to think that this will last forever. King Pare thought so.

We need a new trump card.

Something replaces the artifact, which is turning the balance into a copper division to match.

Something that can be used as a combat force.

King Pare secretly began exploring the country, unknown to other nations.

I did not clearly recognize other countries as enemies. I just thought that when peace was threatened, other countries could not be relied upon.

At the same time, I felt that I didn't want to be relied on by other countries. So I went behind closed doors.

To be honest, exploration wanted to cover the entire continent.

But it's hard to find out where an artifact might be without being known about it on the territory of another country.

There are also distance problems. The further away you get, the less you will be in close contact, and the less responsive you will be. Months or years of projects, but I don't think I can afford them long enough.

Therefore, he narrowed the subject down to his own territory, releasing a trustworthy person to a likely artifact.

More than a dozen years since we started acting.

The balance has already been infused with a large number of foreign objects called Gentiles.

Shortly after that, one of the cups of the balance, the Kingdom of Hills, was lost.

There is no longer a respite.

The second son of King Pairé, Sylvester, was sent to the ruins of Prospere.

He has a dedicated knighthood, by means of skills derived from royalty, phantom beasts. Furthermore, this skill can 'serve' some beast demons.

I have heard that the noble class of neighboring Shape, Elder Dwarf, can only 'serve' the Dwarf.

Nor did Wealth's Noble Human. They can only use human beings.

It can be said that the absolute number of people the pair have 'servants' is smaller than in other countries, but each and every one of them is better for that matter.

"His Highness Silvestre. A few of His Highness's tigers have been murdered in the woods."

"Hmm? The bandits in the meadows? I thought they chased them all over the pasta."

"I don't know. There were a number of scars on the body that looked like it had been cut with a sharp blade. Some of them were so intact that they wanted to look away....."

During this operation, I had brought in quite a few tigers. No royal family has ruled such a number of demons in history.

This tiger is a demon captured in Portley, far south.

For generations, the royal family of the pair, regardless of their rank of succession to the throne, had the luxury of spending a certain period of time as mercenaries, so they captured them in the demonic realm of the Portleys they were visiting at that time.

Sylvester himself was a considerable burden, but he managed to accomplish it.

Nevertheless, the mere fact that there is no royalty in history who ruled this many demons does not mean that Sylvestre accomplished it for the first time.

King Pairé, the father, and his brother, the first prince, control a similar number of monsters.

They both 'served' in the land ahead where they each traveled in the time they spent as mercenaries.

If so, I can't say very much that I can't do it alone.

For these reasons, it was whispered by Makoshiya that within the Royal Castle of Paere, the modern royalty is the generation with the greatest strength in history.

It was also instrumental in the determination of the Father King to create a plan to acquire new artifacts in search of more power.

My father cannot leave King's Landing, but by now my brother and prince will be exploring the ruins of the southern part of Pare.

This Prospere ruin, or forest spreading around the ruins, was inhabited by a herd of monkey-type demons larger than the ancients of Tai.

We need combat power to get rid of them.

But there are no human resources in the pair that can control a whole area.

Therefore, I practiced for several years in the habitat of the fierce monster Fengtou, and used the effects of Phantom Beast characteristic "mission" to "mission" many monsters.

Fortunately, the elves seemed less interested in demons, and nothing in particular was said when bringing the tiger out of the country, which had become a 'servant' and flock to Silvestre. They just turned an annoying gaze on me.

Silvestre used this power to control the area around the site of Prospere and rule the area under his own control.

The big monkeys couldn't defeat everything, but they could still be reduced to a few more, including the boss.

The monkey left the ruins with a few survivors and never returned.

After sporadically evicting all the monkeys springing up in the woods, this ruin totally belonged to Silvestre.

Since we started looking into the land that way, it's time to try to count the year, but we haven't even been able to break into the interior of the ruins yet.

Because the entrance to the ruins is guarded by a strong door, which can't be opened or scratched by anything.

The same was true of my brother, the prince, exploring the ruins of the south.

I also hear that my father, the king, who remains in the king's capital and washes out other ruins from the books left in the castle, has not achieved any good.

Come on, it's not a task left to others, so I should be going to the library regularly between my duties as king and doing research, but I haven't found any new clues since I found the ruins here in the north and in the south from the literature.

"... no matter how much my family won't die, it would be really uncomfortable if I were left like that. Being attacked in the woods means that someone has broken into the woods. Never let that intruder escape. Be sure to bring him before me. Life or death."

"Ha. Immediately"

The knight of Silvestre said so and went down without a sound.

The wind tiger is throwing himself into the forest and causing him to be alert. And as soon as we find the intruder, we have orders to kill him.

Wesen knights can alert a pair of them, and if they find an intruder, one can return to the report, and the other can monitor a flexible response, but the wind tiger is not as smart as the Wesen, so it was difficult.

But the Tiger has far better sensory organs and physical abilities than the Beast Man.

As it stands, this should have been the best placement.

"Did the Gentiles of the Dodger invade? However, no Gentile can beat a fanatic one-on-one so much. If so, multiple Gentiles infiltrating? No, the more people we have, the more we've already captured them.

How many people can only be found by a tiger, and enough to slaughter a tiger easily?

Oh man. If you think you've struggled to kick the big monkeys out, the hairless monkeys next "

Few Gentiles have come to this forest before.

So much so that those who go further north from the city of Pasto to the village of Route sometimes come this way by mistake. And vice versa.

Each time the Tiger had driven him away, but no one had ever been strong enough to fight the Tiger properly.

There is also the possibility that powerful people who were in other areas have flown, but for what purpose has such a thing come to such a peripheral countryside?

Speaking of possible possibilities, try hard or try luck. Or have you lost your way as before?

"Your Highness."

He's a different knight.

This man is entrusted with regular contact with King's Landing.

"Thank you very much. Do you have anything?"

"Ha. I have given His Majesty orders in the highest priority"

"What?"

"All the books in the Royal Castle Library were stolen by someone, and their whereabouts are unknown. If there is a shadow of a suspicious man in the north, be sure to capture him and question him."

"What?

The books from the Royal Castle Library were stolen.

It's not just a matter of time. Or, first of all, the break-in of a thief into the royal castle itself has never been heard of before.

But I can't believe my father or this serious knight would jokingly say something like this, and I guess it's true.

And from the way I put it, nobody even sees the bad guy and doesn't even seem to know which direction he left.

Then, as ordered, anything suspicious can only be caught and interrogated from one end.

Especially suspicious are Gentiles. They have a vault.

I don't have the right talent to steal things.

"... Are the crooks Gentiles? What, are you involved with someone who's trespassing on this site right now?

If so, perhaps the enemy's goal is the same unspoiled artifact as Sylvester, sleeping in the ruins.

It can't be just a test of force, let alone a stopover at a loss or whim.

Regular contact with King's Landing will take a few days.

Because in this regular communication, more emphasis is placed on secrecy than on reactivity. Therefore, no conspicuous means of travel like carriages are used, and bandits and the like kill and move signs so that they cannot be seen.

Looking back from King's Landing in the same way, even though it is the highest priority order, you will decide to tell them more reliably than hurry, because they have already been escaped by the bandits and they don't know where they are.

But I just wanted to know a little sooner about this one. Neither did the most wonderful father king happen to dream that the direction in which the thief fled was in the direction of the ruins that sent his son.

"... there is a bandit invading the ruins now. It is possible that they are the villains who stole from the imperial treasury.

I've already given instructions to do people and capture them, but if they've been looking at stolen books in the library and targeting artifacts from this ruin, their destination would be this temple.

Meet you, too, and mobilize all knights and tigers to capture intruders at all costs. But don't kill him. "

"But then, your safety ─ ─"

"Good. It's an emergency. By order of the Father King. That's the top priority."

"─ ─ Ha!

If you kill an intruder, it will solve the problem, but if you kill a Gentile, you may disappear somewhere and never be able to capture him again.

This is true even for "knights" of humans and dwarves, but it is not something that we have found out where we will be resurrected after death.

It is not enough to bring information back to the base in exchange for loss of experience, and if it is Gentile, it is not enough to bring back information alone.

Even the Knights of the Guards, who were supposed to protect the Lord, mobilized to carry out a hunt, but couldn't help it.

This forest is entirely under Sylvestre's power, so it's originally less dangerous. Speaking of hostile forces, they're invading now. It can be said that it is reasonable to refer to the response.

If so, as the Father King commands, the highest priority should be to grasp the identity of the suspicious intruder, not the safety of Silvestre.

"If any thief's aim is this place, capturing the thief will also lead to keeping me safe. And if I'm here..."

"─ ─ That's not royalty. I was impressed. I wanted to try a lot of experiments, but let's not."

I was surprised to hear a woman's voice.

He is an experienced royal fighter against Sylvester.

Speaking in pairs, you can say the third strong man.

In an instant, he switches his consciousness to a combat stance and stands up with the intention of attacking as soon as he sees the enemy.

"What?"

Whether it was possible to pronounce.

Vision is lost, as if a red and black satchel were laid down on the stage, and all sounds disappear.

After a strange feeling as if the world were turning, I felt the shock of something hitting my decoy and head, and Silvestre's consciousness fell into darkness.

"Ha!

It was in the campsite set up inside the ruins that the royal tent awakened.

Just like when you lost consciousness.

It even seems as if he was just asleep for a few seconds.

"What...? What happened....."

I remember a strange feeling just before I lost consciousness.

The memories of that moment come back with the fear that the soul itself will be swallowed by darkness.

If you ever realise something called death while you're alive, you'd be convinced if they told you that it was.

The suspicious voice at that time belonged to a woman I had never heard at all. There are no women among the knights in the first place. To prevent useless strife, knights attached to royalty from generation to generation are always decided to choose between same-sex.

"What happened... I have no idea."

I can't help sleeping.

First, we need to understand the current situation.

Silvestre left the tent and wandered around.

The forest is always dim.

Especially around the center of the ruins.

I couldn't find time from that position because I couldn't see the sun at all, but from the approximate darkness, it seemed that a few hours had passed since then.

But that wasn't the problem.

"... what... this..."

Until just a moment ago, there was no shadow to see now, the ruins that stood loosely there until just before Silvestre lost consciousness.

It was concluded that the ruins' doors would probably be some kind of artifact, as nothing could be done to open them or to scratch one.

Sylvester and the others spent months exploring the conditions for opening the door. Initially, some of the bandits around here used their lives as sacrifices. I didn't know how to sacrifice myself, so I bled for nothing.

That's how I kept trying to open the door for months.

There was no change in the door itself.

The door was no different, but the walls around it were terrible.

A tight looking hole is drilled into the wall, as if it were melted into something. It also looks as if it is a nest of some evil creature.

He didn't even open this door to someone who showed up here, or perhaps a bender who temporarily took Silvestre's consciousness.

But he found a way to break into the ruins without passing through the door.

That is the hole in this wall.

Sure, I couldn't scratch one on the door, but I haven't tried to see if the walls did either.

I thought the walls were the same because they appeared to be of the same material, but as far as I can see, they were different.

Assuming that the door is an artifact and so are the walls, that means that the entire site is an artifact.

I've never heard of such a huge artifact, and it's natural to think that only the door is so.

As far as this unbroken wall is concerned, I suppose that was the case.

Silvestre, who had lost his strength, dropped his knees on the earth without knowing.

The hardships of the past year were overshadowed in an instant. I can't help it.

Also in the light of the circumstances, it is likely that Sylvestre and the artifacts that the kingdom of Père was looking for have already been taken away by the crooks.

The nature of this song is unknown, but if it had been tied to some country, it would not be a problem.

We must report to the country promptly and work out a response with the Father King.

"─ Somebody! Somebody!

If the men under his command are faithfully carrying out Silvestre's life, they should be scattered throughout the woods by now, chasing the crooks. No one will come even if I call you.

"Damn it, I'm hit!

I don't know how, but I suppress this movement by detecting the movements of the Pairee royal family and stealing the royal castle's books, and at the same time narrow this aim. And learn of the existence of this Prospere ruin and take the artifact ahead of Silvestre.

Perhaps this is the cursor's plan. And it seems to have been achieved.

Almost simultaneously with the report that the books were stolen, the bandits also moved in hiding on foot, and targeted and raided us near King's Landing. In that case, the southern ruins where my brother lives are still in good condition.

If I tell my brother right now, I may not have to repeat the same mistake, but I don't have the means.

Anyway, I have to pray.

I want to go check inside the ruins right now, but that's not exactly what I can do alone.

This is how Sylvester lives, so his family will not die. I don't know now, but I'm sure he'll be back here in a while.
