Golden Experience

Episode 267 "Wasedami"

They usually don't let most people in the mountains.

Though it is like the road of a tree, there is no way that people can walk steadily.

"Wow, I'm caught again! Whatever!

Blanc, who seems unfamiliar with walking on mountain roads, often catches a robe on a branch or bush.

It's not like I'm so used to it apart from Rare and Lyla, and I'm licking the mountain in the very look of wearing a hood on a chilled robe in the first place.

Simply because Rare and Lyla's equipment is high in rank, they can't inhibit their movement when they hook up to a tree branch, and they just break it on their own.

And thanks to the unclean effect, the hooked branch falls quickly.

"Should I make Bran a proper dress? But then you'll have to take it off at the time of the Transformation."

"Hmmm...... I really don't know what to do...... I want expensive clothes, but I can't 'transform'..."

"I mean, whatever the clothes are, the robe isn't small enough to be torn where it's 'transformed' apart, and I guess it doesn't affect anything else. Pretty loose, isn't it? How was it the last time you 'transformed'?

"Not last time, come on! After I threw away my robe ─ ─"

"See you later." Transformation "doesn't matter, does it? I'll just let you make a robe later. Mithrill is all you need."

The colour is the same now, but because Bran is a vampire, the red suits me.

It's not as good as Lyla's adamass pigment, but it's better to prepare some kind of red dye. In reality, dyes taken from insects like Kermes and Cochinilles are common, but unfortunately we have not found either.

Rare was the first red pigment I saw in the game, Tatsuna, one of the ingredients of the sage's stone.

I can get a bright red color out of that one, and it's close to the image of bran.

I don't know if it can be used for dyeing cloth products, but it should be possible with skills or something because it can be done with pigments made from Adamas. I'll let Remy study it later.

"I mean, it's not like I'm in the market at all when I say" mythrill, "and if it's Rare's fortune right now, you can buy as much as you want."

"Maybe so, but I'm not saving money to buy a misrill,"

Money is power.

And there's a place and a time for force to be used effectively.

We need to think carefully about whether buying Mithril will do that.

Besides, I'd rather have it rolled up by a friend and accommodated.

"Geez! A little ripped!

"Why don't you take that off already? Maybe nobody's watching."

Even if you are unfamiliar with the mountain trail, if you have the current talent of three people, you can walk appropriately and tread at a reasonable speed.

Of course, many things have been sacrificed, such as Bran's robe, but it's a minor problem.

"I'm vaguely in the mountains, I've only climbed up with information like that, but I wonder exactly where that means"

Walking, walking, entering sight is just a mountain path. Rae spilled it.

Sometimes I see beasts that resemble boars, but they're probably just wildlife. LP is too low and there is almost no MP.

You can't even find a monster with some strength.

"Before that, it's more of a rumor than information."

Lyla corrected it.

Indeed, what I know now is that there is such a legacy written on the SNS by a player who was probably there earlier.

And it seems that the villagers at the foot of the mountain believe in dragons.

"─ ─ But rather than a dragon, there's no sign of a large organism."

No matter how discreet and hidden they are, if there is a large monster like a dragon, there must be traces of it.

But I don't see any of those around here.

Totally just a mountain, which is also a normal mountain as it is in the real country.

"Speaking of which, that village is what we call a peripheral village, right? There's no such thing as this mountain demon, so it doesn't seem like it's a demon area, and then it's just a village, rather than a border."

Rare and Lyla stopped at Blanc's words.

Sure it is. If there is no demon in this mountain, it is only a village.

Where did you hear about the village on the border?

Sure, that's when I talked to that player. That player said "to such a peripheral village".

If that means a village in a general, despicable place, it's no problem.

But suppose he was referring to it as a peripheral village in the sense of a settlement with some sort of subsidy from the state or municipality, which is characteristic of this game and has the aspect of a pioneering village.

Nonetheless, if this mountain is really just a mountain without demons.

"─ ─ Is that so? The dragon is probably in front of the building. It doesn't actually exist."

"What do you mean?

Answer Bran's question.

Lila seems to have come to the same conclusion. My eyes met.

"Probably something like this.

The villagers want that village to be recognized as a perilous village on the border. So this mountain needed to be the realm of demons. But there's no such thing as a demon. That's why the demons don't show up from the mountains. It's the dragon's legacy. "

Lyla supplements Rae's words.

"So, from the side, we can create a dangerous border village adjacent to the monster realm. Besides, the boss of the realm is a dragon. Speaking of dragons, it has the impression of a powerful monster. I think it is the same for NPC. At least we haven't found weak dragons on this continent so far. Well, I've never seen a strong dragon in the wild.

Anyway, this is a mountain dominated by such dragons. But fortunately, the dragon is so rational that it doesn't unnecessarily send a monster out of the mountain. "

"Of course, it's in front of the building, as I said earlier. There are no dragons or monsters, so it's only natural that they don't come out of the mountain."

"Ha. But why would you do that?

"Normally speaking, the aim is to provide assistance from the state and municipalities. Speaking of a peaceful village, if you are completely self-sufficient, you cannot afford to live. For example, if something happens and crop yields are drastically reduced, it will soon fail if it is critical for self-sufficiency. Even if it's not aid, I think the tax relief is pretty big.

Besides, for example, if it's our Oral, we don't even have to call it a castle wall to provide support for these demonic areas and adjacent cities and villages, and we also regularly make tours by the Knights.

As far as this village is concerned, there is no fence, so it may be normal for a pair to have no fence even at the border. Otherwise, you'll find out the moment you see it. Maybe the state is helping with money and supplies, including without fences and walls. "

"But the knight who regularly walks around? If they come, they'll find out, even if they trick you twice."

Indeed, Bran was right, that would have been the case if it had been in other countries.

However, the pair has certain characteristics that are different from those of other countries.

"A knight is basically a warrior in the family of a country or lord, isn't it? In other words, it assumes the existence of 'servants' as a system.

However, the Pairé Kingdom has only a royal character with a "mission", or a subdivision of it. That's why there's only a royal guardian in this country called the Knights.

All the other soldiers are just ordinary citizens who have chosen soldiers as their profession, so there is no absolute loyalty to their lords, like family members. The only way to bind their minds is to pay high salaries and allowances. It doesn't mean your family's salary can be cheap, though.

In that case, marching to the border is probably more expensive than marching to other countries. That's why we can't provide much military assistance to the border like other countries. Even so, the frequency should be exceptionally low, and above all, if only soldiers came to visit, unlike knights, it would fall with gold and be easy for the village to do. "

"Professional ethics are breaking down!

"If it really is necessary, there is no concept of professional ethics itself, because great people use their own family members. It feels like the pair is coming.

If the word "work ethic" were born, it might come from this country. "

I don't care about the reform of the way this world works.

What matters now is that village.

"If you think so, you nod to the overreactions of the villagers. That doesn't mean you can't really tolerate a dragon being harmful ─ ─"

"Yes, the goal is to eliminate those approaching the truth of the dragon that the village is hiding"

Once we split into mountains, find out that there are no dragons, and reveal that there are no monsters, the village will not be able to receive assistance.

That's all I need, but I don't think it's easy to forgive you for cheating on your country and receiving unfair aid for so long.

It's cheap as a surcharge or compensation, but given the ethnic nature of the beast who hates to be licked, it probably won't be done for free.

"I guess from what happened in that village, a long time ago, that's the scam that's been committed on a hundred years basis. If they find out, they'll all tie their necks or something."

"Then again, old NPCs are highly deviant. Were they all INT expensive?

Once upon a time, the Spirit King came to mind.

Being betrayed and doomed doesn't mean you were 'serving' all your men and residents, but maybe even if you weren't 'serving' you had something to improve your overall ability if you were a people in your own country.

I don't know if I blame the Spirit King for anything, but so far, the trouble is generally not wrong with his work.

Probably the character prepared to be the starting point for any event on this continent. Already dead, but most importantly, NPC.

"In any case, you don't seem to have a dragon like this."

If so, the poison Lyla planted earlier on the villagers will, unfortunately, have no effect. I just planted fear in Lyla or the Rares against a mysterious group of robes. I don't mind that.

"Let's just look for it. I've already blown up the mood and atmosphere, so let's take a proper look from the sky. However, if there is really nothing ─ ─"

Let Lyla be evil.

I wonder how much evil you can laugh at even though you look like yourself.

"─ ─ You seem to believe in dragons, so here's one thing, let's really prepare dragons for you. And I will finally make this mountain into the realm of wishful monsters. That way, the villagers won't be punished by the state."

"Oh, when you look at me like that, you really feel like you're sisters."
