Golden Experience

Episode 281: "Ah, I'll pay for the trees."

The formation memorial party at the so-called Clanhouse, rented by clan to the city of Rifle, lasted until late at night.

Along the way, Wayne at the top of the note sometimes sat in for work, but he couldn't help but get a type of job that he couldn't do at home.

It is thanks to the people who work at the expense of their lives that yogis live and live with peace of mind every day.

I hear that the salary is good, and it seems that you are required to have enough ability to match the salary.

The clan house also has a private room for logging out, where you will lie down and rest.

Even though it is a private room, it is only partitioned in a large room, and the image is close to a capsule hotel that is said to have been in the old generation.

It is also possible to carry out these renovations because the contract assumes the purchase of the property.

Even though it's a private room with only one bed size, the city is expensive anyway. There's nothing I can do about all this.

It is also unique to players who use the inventory without having to place their luggage.

When the party was over and most of the members fell asleep in the bedroom, Yoichi and Saskatchewan were both in the tidy living room.

"... well. Now calm down and don't look at the compass. I'm not hiding anything."

Ah, well then ─ ─

The yogi removed the crystal compass from the inventory.

The two of them peeked at the board face to face.

The needle that was pointing north in the Hugel Cup the other day is now pointing east.

"... you can't make an intersection."

"Mmm..."

Since it points north in the Hugel Cup, which is west of the city of Reflexion, and now east, it does not intersect by extending a straight line in the direction of the needle.

If this game world is a sphere like the Earth, and it's not possible when it comes to the position where we circle and interact, then it becomes around the back of the stars. Which means it's the furthest from here. That's just a little hard to think about.

"If you can't make an intersection, there are two possibilities."

"Do you have two? I can't think of anything at all, but it's great. By the looks of it."

"It looks... pretty good.

One is if the object indicated by this item is moving. Which means we were in the Hugel Cup yesterday on the north side and today on the east side.

We flew from the Hugel Cup to the Ture Meadow with a transfer service, and walked from there to refresh ourselves, so we came in a few hours, otherwise it would take time to travel.

Considering that the direction has changed at an angle close to 90 degrees in the Hugel Cup and Reflection, it can be considered an abnormal speed if it has moved. I don't know if it's been transferred, but I don't think the item that was given as a quest reward is indicative of where a particular player is, and I'll tell you what, honestly, this isn't going to happen. "

"Then why 'd you say it?"

"The other thing is, this item doesn't show one object. I don't know where it is or what it is, but if it shows more than one thing, there may be more than one direction to show. It's no surprise that the Hugel Cup and the Refresh will each show a different direction."

"If there were multiple directions to show, why is it different from the Hugel Cup in terms of refreshing?

"In most of these cases, it is reasonable to assume that they indicate a closer location to the current location. Even with the actual compass, if there's anything that emits a stronger magnetic field closer to the North Pole, it should be that way."

"Uh, that's a good thing. There is something north of the Hugel Cup, and east of the Refreshment.

So the position of something north of the Hugel Cup is farther than something east from the reflex, and something east of the reflex is farther than something north from the Hugel Cup, "he said.

Saskatchewan is a bad explanation.

"Ugh! I'm not good at this!

Yoichi took out the latest version of Sgorok's map.

This is an in-game portrayal of the image that was raised on the SNS.

If you just want to reference it, you just need to let it display in a separate window, but this is easier to understand if you want to work with maps in the game.

"... what a surprise, you"

"You're just too clumsy.

According to this map, pulling the line from the city of Refreshment in the direction of the needle ─ ─ "

"─ King Hills Capital."

The line drawn by Yoichi crosses the former King Hills capital.

"I don't know yet. Beyond this line lies the Rebe Forest. It could be pointing at you."

"Oh, well, yeah."

If you're pointing to a closer location, it's a little bit farther in the Reeve Forest.

Then it is reasonable to think of it as a king's capital, but there is also a reason why it cannot be said.

"In the meantime, we don't have enough information to say outside the continent at all. That's why we're going to limit ourselves to the continent.

Now the reason I'm not sure if the tip of this needle is King Hills Capital or Reeve Great Forest is because both the Hugel Cup and the city of Rifle exist close to the heart of the continent.

In polarization, even if each needle pointed to the edge of the continent, the needle would probably move just as it does now. If you don't know what's shown, you'll have to go near where you think you're going. "

"For example, if I say now, I'm going to take a walk around King Hills' capital with one hand on the compass."

"If we can do that, we'll talk fast. If the needle always seems to be pointing against the king's capital at that time, it will be confirmed.

However, if disaster misses players making suspicious moves around their garden. "

"Ah, it stands out, mon."

I don't want you to tell me.

"So..., okay. Whether you want to go around the Wang capital or not, you have to go somewhat close."

I have an action plan for the next day.

First, transfer to the old King Hills Capital, where you'll find the needle.

"... I don't think we need to go around. This refers to the King's City or the Imperial Castle."

I see. It matches the line drawn with the refresh. That's for sure. "

There are two people in the safety area near the old King Hills capital, a post town built in the vicinity.

If we are this close, it is quite wide to say simply the direction of the king's capital.

What the needle on the compass I took out showed was its center, or royal castle.

The former King Hills capital is back at 5 again due to the effects of the Angel Raid event. I want to avoid futilely stimulating such a high-difficulty dungeon and incurring extra death penalties.

A circle around the Wang capital would be certain, but the hypothesis can be reinforced by the reflexes and the results of the measurements here alone.

"Just in case, should I check another place or so?

"From here on, it can be transferred in a place that is so close... I wonder if the sky castle crashed."

"Right there... It's nice to go, but it'll take a while to get home."

The crashed Sky Castle is on the destination list, so it's a quick trip, but unlike King Hills or La Colline's forest, there are no settlements like a stadium town. In other words, because the transfer device is not nearby, it is a little troublesome to move from there.

Some players won't try after the yoichi's attack.

If you think only of the monsters that appear in the outer periphery, the same species has been confirmed in the Lacoline forest, and there are spiders that collect high-selling yarns to the NPC ─ ─ According to the evaluation ─ ─ there are also spiders called Lesser Tarantella ─ ─. There is no reason why it should be a sky castle.

"What about the Lacoline Forest? There's a town there, and it's easy to come back."

"You can't. From the perspective of the royal castle, the direction overlaps with the boarding town of Wangdu, where we are now. Even if the needle points in the same direction, I don't know if it's the royal castle or beyond."

Beyond La Colline is Erntar. The conditions are the same because the post town was also built there. Although similar in orientation, La Colline is sometimes a turning point, slightly north. It will be helpful.

But if you go all the way to Ernthal, now you could be too far from the king's capital.

So much so that I was referring to a different subject between the Hugel Cup and the reflex, and not necessarily to a different subject again if I left as far as Ernthal.

"... I can't help it. You want to go to Sky Castle? I'm walking home."

"Golden Running Fires!

"You'll have no choice but to go home first. If you want to do it, carry me."

"I'm absolutely sorry!

There was no one in the destination safety area of the crashed Sky Castle.

You can use the compass without worrying about people, but that's not the end of the line.

"Hey...... Is that what Sky Castle is...?

"No, it's not. It must have been different."

A crashing sky castle visible from the safety area.

To be precise, it was not a castle itself, but a floating island or something, but the whole island was horizontal.

The last time I visited here just about a week ago, I should have certainly stuck it obliquely on the ground at that time.

Later, can't you see the shadows wandering around?

"That... sounds like a golem. I've never seen it before."

Information is up on the existence of magical organisms, including the Golem.

I've never seen Yoichi himself, but it seems to be a monster rarely seen in other countries.

Nevertheless, I've never heard of anything of that size.

The proximity looks crazy, but given the size of that Sky Castle I've been to before, would there be dozens of meters? How can I fight something like that?

"No, I want you to stop being so silent about updating the dungeon."

"... I don't know if it's the intention of the operation. If it's the seventh calamity that dominates Sky Castle, he certainly would have said this before. He ruled because the streets of King Hills' capital were beautiful. Because I didn't like the angle of the newly ruled Sky Castle, so I was forced to correct it, not surprisingly."

"I don't like the angle! A selfie girl!

"Fufu, it's strange to call yourself a selfie girl... So he attacked the King's City and the Archangels for reasons such as emotion and flying... Kfufufu...."

"Maybe that was a bump? I don't know, you...."

And in that case, it's probably the giant golems over there that were used as workers.

The size of a floating island? I don't know if I can move it, but the world of games may be surprisingly light on the island.

"... anyway. Does the seventh rule even the Golem?"

"Uh, bugs, undead and golem? And the dragon. I think I'm going to meet the Commander of the Corps."

Sasquatch tells the throw.

I know how you feel.

"─ In the meantime, let's spread the matter.

Let's prioritize our purpose now. From this position... no. The direction went crazy again. This is probably... pointing to Sky Castle?

The compass I took out is not even oriented towards the King's Capital behind me, but points straight to Sky Castle.

"The mystery is only deepening... For now, King Hills' capital is definitive.

What King Hills and Sky Castle have in common, Mr. Seventh Disaster. "

"In that case, only the north of the Hugel Cup can still see."

"Let's get back to the Oral. Why don't you go to King Oral City and see if it points to the north side of the Hugel Cup?

"Yeah. But before we do that, it's the Huguel Cup again. I'd also like to see if the direction you point to hasn't changed after the day."

"Right. There was still a chance of something moving."

You'll be going down the same street as last time when you go to the Hugel Cup.

However, I didn't see the PK's last appearance.

I checked using "True/True Eye", but there was no suspicious LP reaction. Apparently they changed the hunting grounds.

I don't think I would have left to escape with just one defeat, but considering that I would have died here again at this time if I had worked as hard as I could, I can't say it was a good decision. They are the lucky ones.

Sasquatch, wait.

"Huh? Another PK?

"No. On the contrary, I didn't see anyone like that around me, so I took out the compass."

The compass points east.

Since the dungeon you chose for the transfer is west of the Hugel cup, you can say that the needle points to the Hugel cup.

This is strange considering that you pointed north in that Hugel Cup last time.

"... is there a strong possibility of something moving? It's the same direction as when I was in Refresher."

"... no, there's still one more possibility. Anyway, let's hurry to the Huguel Cup."

Once the compass was broken, Yoichi hurried to the east, the city of the Hugel Cup, where the needle was pointing.

The two men who arrived in the city avoided the eyes for now and took out the compass in the alley.

─ ─ Hugelcup Castle after all. I'm talking about. "

"Ah, I see. The Hugel Cup was referring to the north, not just the castle that was built to the north."

The inn I took then was, indeed, built south from the castle.

"So far, to the best of my knowledge, the castles that I think are referring to are King Hills Castle, Sky Castle, and Hugelcup Castle. It's all castles."

"So this is an item that tells us the direction of the castle nearby? What the hell."

This is a reward for a quest that appears to be quite challenging and will allow you to progress through the World Event. There's no way.

Given that the event that led to the weakening of the Archangel occurred as a result of completing that quest, it's not surprising that this item had the ability to hold it back. Does that mean that it had the ability to explore the position of the weakened archangel, that is, the position of Sky Castle?

"Possibly, this was originally an item to explore the position of Sky Castle, but the function has gone crazy because Sky Castle has already crashed, so as to indiscriminately indicate the castle on the ground, or something"

"That's what it is, isn't it? Even Sky Castle ended up with a raid boss from the NPC, and that's a prerequisite for going crazy from the beginning."

Saskatchewan is right.

Besides, even if I am pointing to the direction of the castle now, I am still not sure if the needle is really moving in response to the castle. It is no wonder the needle is moving for reasons other than a castle as a mere building.

"... If this happens anymore, I'll have to go around the countries and look into it. The castle is clearly about the royal castle of each king's capital, with the only exceptions being Hugelcup Castle and Sky Castle. If only these eight locations are shown, this item is a tourist support item for Castle Maniacs. Find and Sell Castle Mania on SNS"

"Hahahahaha! Well, yes! If you're searching for monsters that could fly, it would be very bitter."

"And if you ever seem to refer to anything other than a castle, then it will mean that you have some sort of thing in common, including a castle. That would be the true reward. I don't think we can get anything inside the royal castle or the lord's castle, but anything else could be."

"Well, then, let's start with the Oral King's Capital. It would have been sooner to travel to Felicita and then take the carriage."

"Let's do that. I'll pay for the carriage."

"Yeah? That? Was it you last time?

"Oh. Definitely"

Yoichi and Saskatchewan play against monsters in various parts of the country by wandering the Oral Country, so carriages are often used. No matter how many people charter a carriage, the price will not change, but the two yaws who are a little more familiar than the other players will rent it. It is troublesome to pay the fee in half.

As a result, one of the parties paid in bulk, and the other party paid for the next trip.

That's what this exchange is about.

This time, Saskatchewan paid twice in a row, but sometimes it becomes unclear when non-carriage movements get caught in between, so you need to remember exactly when you paid.
