Golden Experience

Episode 265: The Golden Sea

Pillow Lotus likes chemo ears.

Even so, I don't like to grow it on myself. I like to love characters with growing chemo ears.

So I naturally chose the kingdom of Pairé for the early state.

It was the empty wind blowing grasslands that spawned his early days. The wind seemed to be blowing down over the mountain, and from the meadow a majestic mountain was seen.

Since finding the village at the foot of the mountain, Pillow Lotus has been based in the village, Root Village.

Root Village is a quiet village.

The kingdom of Pare seems to be considered a peripheral village with a high degree of danger, but in practice it is hardly dangerous.

Borders seem to refer to settlements very close to the demonic realm in this game, and from the information available in the SNS, it seems that most bordering cities in other countries are protected by strong walls.

However, many of the perimeters of Pairé do not have such walls, and people live in constant danger of monsters.

Wesen are naturally more talented and more likely to gain a variety of skills than humans, but still have less chance of survival. For that reason, living adult residents have on average high combat power. That's probably why most of the Pairee residents are stronger than Rookie's players.

I've heard this from the residents of the village, but they hardly charge taxes because there are no walls, knights to protect the village, etc.

On the contrary, there seems to be financial assistance and so on. Instead, the villagers have to protect themselves.

The border village of Route does have an adjacent dungeon.

It's a dungeon or a mountain, but this is the area of monsters in the area.

But Pillow Lotus has never seen the monsters of this mountain descend into the village.

There is a legend that there are dragons in the mountain, and this dragon controls all the monsters in the mountain.

Is it the instructions of that dragon that demons living in the mountains are completing their lives in the mountains alone?

This is why mountain demons don't attack villages.

No inhabitants have ever met a dragon in person, and only vague eyewitness testimony, but that's what we're talking about anyway, and although it's unclear whether it's a dragon, this village survived in such a way that it's half protected by something mighty.

Although it can be said that the pillow lotus is not enough as a player, it is also an early spawned village, and now that the love has sprung up, I thought that the village's longevity is not bad.

Most of the players who arrived in the early space after the pillow lotus moved to another city in search of a fight, but the pillow lotus didn't feel that way.

I enjoyed this slow life game with like-minded players, Astin and Martin, plowing fields and occasionally going away to hunt monsters.

"─ It's a golden sea."

"It's a sight you don't see much in real life, is it? Because edible crops are mostly grown in factories, and we can only see rice ho shining in the sun in nature anymore in movies."

This is not the first time we have harvested rice here, but the pillow lotus was so touched every time.

The rice cultivation I started in the fields I borrowed from my residents was something that didn't work out at first, but now it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the best comedy farmer in the village.

The world's crops can be grown and harvested many times a year because of their fast growing cycles and the fact that there is not so much climate variability depending on the season.

If it takes six months in a single cycle, most agricultural players will lose what they do, and the fun will be halved as a game. In that case, this can be said to be a natural specification in a sense, as it is only necessary to rent land and do hobby gardening in real life.

This is similar in livestock, where animals and monsters grow at an unusually high rate. It seems to be a long time since they became adults, and they live a very distorted life of balance.

Speaking of humans, it's like they're about one year old, and they grow up physically and mentally, and then they stay young until they're over fifty.

However, I only heard this from players from other countries on SNS, so I don't know if it is really so.

Animal husbandry did not thrive in Pairé, and it was the same in this village of Route.

"Perhaps these climates suit us. I wonder if the temperature difference between day and night is good for growth. The colder it snows at night, the warmer it gets during the day."

As Astin said, it was still morning, but the sun was warm enough to sparkle the rice ho in front of her.

If it's a normal comedy, it won't snow or anything, but this is because of the game.

"Alright, let's finish the rice harvest while the weather is good!

I planned to harvest the comedy I grew up in tandem on this day.

This rice is exchanged for vegetables and hunting prey raised by the villagers, who then cook meals and act like villagers in the shop.

This shop - the spa cafeteria - was built by ourselves from the house.

In the kingdom of Pare, there is no such perimeter as ownership per land. Because it is not covered by castle walls, etc., there is no limited land or space. You can expand the village as much as you want, but even if the monster attacked you at the end of it, it is your own responsibility. You can't protect me instead of being tied up. That's what freedom is.

The pillows acquired only the foundations of architectural skills, and the missing parts were dealt with by raising STR and DEX.

This was the same in agricultural and cooking skills. All acquired basic skills only, then deceived with talent and real skills. Although the cooking skills were mostly manageable if only "lower" were taken care of, so there were not so many problems.

Pillow Lotus operated the cafeteria while farming in the village and sometimes went hunting monsters, acting as a multiplayer.

"Hmm? Hey Lotus, someone's coming"

The fields of the newcomers, the pillow lotus, are in the outermost periphery of the village. Naturally they will be the first to discover visitors coming down the street.

"Oh, really. You mean a player? A red, black and white robe. Oh, you sound suspicious."

"I don't know what's going to happen around here because I'm dressed like some kind of bandit and I'm at peace."

Nevertheless, it is unusual for players to come all the way to this village.

There's nothing here anyway. If you want to enjoy slow life like a pillow lotus, it's the best environment, but there's no reason why you have to stay here.

All you have to do is move to the countryside close to where you are now.

I don't know if you hit this neighborhood in the earliest spawn. Astin and Marton were the patterns.

"Will there be more of us?

I don't know. If you want to slow down, you're dressed a little too hard. "

Eventually, the approaching robes looked like women in terms of height.

Looking at the feet, it appears that the black and white robes are wearing boots in the skirt and the red robes are wearing boots in the pants style. None of them, including the robes, are very sophisticated designs that are rarely seen in the countryside, and the fabric looks fine.

The more I look at it, the three of them are not familiar with the country.

"Hey. Are you guys players? Which one of you is here?

Pillow lotus spoke on behalf of him. It's not much of a party, but somehow the oldest pillow lotus is in a leading position.

The black robe answered the question as to whether the other party was also the leader.

"... Pushy? I don't know what that is, but we came from across the street from a city called Pasto. Do people come from anywhere else? There's only one street."

These mouthful, apparently suspicious robes are NPC.

If you look closely inside the hood at the voices you hear, it appears that you are wearing a mask that covers your mouth.

However, it is unusual for NPC to travel by hand. Even if you can't change your clothes the worst, you'll need at least food on the road, accommodation equipment such as tents or blankets. If you're a player, you can just throw them into the inventory, but not in the NPC.

I'll look into the billing items from the other day. The players will react, and if they don't, it's probably the NPC.

I'm sorry to have Marton use the billing item, but I can't afford to have the pillow lotus in front of me.

"No, I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a side road along the way from Pasto to here. Beyond that side road is a forest of monsters. There are monsters in the woods like giant light green cats, but they're strong again. Looks like he doesn't have any luggage, and I was wondering if he might have escaped from the woods."

Really? Thank you for your concern.

No, especially not on the road. "

< ─ ─ There was no reaction. Maybe the NPC sen is thick. I mean, I don't see anything at all, but it's working.

"If the item disappeared, it must have been activated. I couldn't see because these guys are probably strong. The results of that verification were definitely up. I hear you can see some Werth knights, but you can't see some Oral knights or some rumored Virgin at all."

"I wish I hadn't been in danger. Welcome to the village of Route. We're in trouble in this village, player, vault owner, what are you doing in this village?

Even as he spoke, Pillow Lotus's gaze crept into the eyes of the black robe.

The eyes floating on the brown skin were bright purple, red orange infarct, two colors like that and burning crimson. Yes, this black robe had so-called odd eyes.

Odyeye is a combination that cannot be selected by character making. I've never heard of accessories like color contacts being discovered.

In addition, the brown color of the skin is also a deep color, which is not the color that the player can choose.

"The colour of the eyes is different from left to right. And the skin tone is a special color. At least I'm sure he's not a player. And he answered the question about where it came from, based on the street. I think this is because we're only traveling underground from time to time.

There are no dungeons around this village, so the only way to come here is to walk in that it would be a player, but there are actually dungeons as far from here as the city of Pasto. It's a different place from the woods we talked about earlier, but this one seems to be visited by players on rare occasions because of the two-degree novice to mid-level dungeons.

If you're a player, it's faster to move to the dungeon and walk there than to take a carriage to the city of Pasto.

Oh, really. I mean, even if you hide your face, you can tell. This is beautiful.

The white one has a great sense of transparency. But is this what albinism looks like? My eyes are... closed, so I don't know, but my eyelashes are white, and maybe this is albinism. It's a property that players can choose from, but if you're acting together in a different color than NPC, it's reasonable to think of it as NPC.

I don't know who the red one is. Your eyes look red... don't you look so pale?

I'm sure they're not players, but they're not NPCs. The possibilities are unlimited, but there is also the possibility of an official prepared special character.

A famous player named Yoichi the Nurse had conjured up the existence of such characters.

In any case, if you're not a player, you should treat them as NPCs for now.

"I've come to this city for sightseeing. I've heard rumors that there are rare creatures."

"Tourism? A rare creature? Were you there...?

"Oh? I asked my lord, who gave me a ride to Past, before this one.

I hear there's a creature nearby called Dragon. "

The pillows were taken away for an instant.

Sure, there are dragons, and that's how it's been handed down in this village. The monster in the mountain is also suppressed by the dragon.

Even so, it's kind of like a private indigenous faith, or a dragon-sama sees it, so let's live a clean and correct life, or something that is used to talk about it, and I'm not sure if it's actually there. Because nobody's seen it before.

It's just a world where monsters trek and angels attack from the sky. It's no wonder the dragons are there, and the people of this village believe so.

It is no wonder that he knows the legacy of the dragon if he operates around Pasto. Sometimes I go to pasto for shopping and shopping, but there are many residents in the city who know about the existence of dragons.

But no one has ever bothered to come all the way to this country town to see it.

That's NPC, even with players.

If you are a player, it is not strange to visit driven by curiosity, but this village is too peaceful and does too much. For that reason, it was thought that the players were just rumors, or that the dragons would eventually encounter events or something, so they didn't have to go all the way to the country town.

Even the Pillow Lotus who live in this village have never met, but it has to be said that it is very unlikely that the players of Mt. Fumiyama will meet, and that is all if they do. There is nothing else to see or do in this village. Also, as mentioned above, access is poor.

In the meantime, it seems that these robes have come all the way from the city of Pasto to meet the dragons, even though they can't use the transfer service because it's just an NPC.

No, I heard from you that you used a carriage, which means you came from beyond the pasta. Because there is no carriage in this direction from the city of Pasto. The only way to catch a carriage is from the King's Landing.

"You came all the way to see a dragon? To a village like this."

"Oh, no. I'm sure it came from afar, but I don't think that's why. I heard about the dragon on the way, so I just thought I'd take a look."
