Golden Experience

"─ ─ I have to say, it's such an extraordinary idea. Humanity and disaster come together? That's what you call a Gentile. It's an interesting thing that we can't imagine."

Traction will no longer be in vain either, but Lyriene has resisted even this period.

I'm tired of standing up even as rare as I hear, so it's time to surrender and listen to me on the couch normally. I also ate a cake. Do you have a tart?

As I was thinking earlier, the professor is aware of this presence, and if he's after this, it's a big deal.

"Thank you very much."

"... I didn't praise you anyway."

"I know. Now, I wonder why the coup d 'état could be successful just because of the power of the Hugel Cup.

Normally speaking, it's impossible. Before that, if the power to defend a city lined up and approached the King's City, the King's City would feel suspicious. Rather than a coup d 'état, you won't even get into the city in the first place.

I don't know yet if they've been sending in a little bit of power for months now, letting the inhabitants of the King's Capital disperse and wait for the bees to rise. But it must have been an emergency then that demons were attacking humanity all over the continent. How could the dungeon be a distant Huguel Cup leave no power at all, and if it did, the voices of the residents and players who had found the matter suspicious should have been raised before the coup.

But there was nothing like that, and there was no testimony that the Knights were vacating the city for a long time, even as a result of what I actually heard back then in this city.

That's it. It may be absurd, but the Knights of the Hugel Cup appear that day, from nowhere, suddenly inside the capital of the Oral King.

Let me ask you something, can you do that? "

I don't know if Lylene's "servant" is racial or not, but either way, it would naturally be more convenient to be able to "subpoena" so I'm letting him get it.

"... I wonder if I need to answer that. Military secrets."

"Hmm. Fair enough.

I don't know how it is now, but I think it was probably impossible at the time. Because in the history of the continent to date, if there were anyone who could do such a thing, it would certainly be on the record, and there would be a concept of a military station based on that assumption.

We don't need food or supplies on the move if we're going to bring in troops later. The role of the surrounding city will change, and it should have become a completely different landscape.

If you think so, I don't think Lord Hugelcup was able to do it just because he was noble, and even if he was a player.

Then why did Lord Hugelcup do it?

What I recall here is that the members who accomplished the catastrophic crusade were writing to the SNS about the fight against the Seventh Catastrophe. Precisely just before the battle started.

She suddenly summoned and showed the troops of the Undead from the empty space over the King's Landing and let them attack the people of the King's Landing.

Too many things happen to be forgotten, but the military coup in Oral happened only a few days later.

What's wrong with thinking this is irrelevant?

On the basis of the above, I can tell you that the Lord of the Hugel Cup destroyed the Hills royal family, put it on bait and crossed with the Seventh Calamity, and with his help he definitely achieved an Oral Revolution "

"─ ─ I can only deduce that from the situation. There's no evidence."

"You're right. But do you need proof?

Apart from the professor, I didn't come here to blackmail Liliene. I just came to get the back of my hypothesis. Probably for self-satisfaction. I don't think we need any proof.

Even without such a thing, he believes his hypothesis sufficiently.

Well, that's fine. I still have something to talk about.

There is another concern about the connection between Lord Hugel Cup and the Seventh Disaster.

Do you know a creature called a dragon? I'm sure you do. After all, one of them appeared on the outskirts of this Hugel Cup.

By the way, I'd like to ask you, have you ever seen a dragon in your life? Or I don't mind if I hear you say you've seen it.

Except, of course, the individuals who showed up in the Hugel Cup. "

Liliene doesn't answer.

Lyla told me not to say anything.

Even under Rare, Kelly and Mare seemed to have never seen the dragon directly, not even Alberto and Gustav.

And the legend in Root Village that there were dragons was a lie.

It is possible that there is no dragon on this continent, as the professor believes it will be.

Because of the six catastrophes and the legend of one of them, the Golden Dragon, it is not that we do not know its very existence, but it does not prove that the dragon lives on the continent.

Even in ancient Japan, there are many shapes that seem to have been inspired by lions, such as shrine dogs and Okinawa seers, but there were no lions in Japan. These are said to be based on Chinese stone lions. And it was from India that the stone lion was passed on to that China.

The professor said things like traveling around the countries, but how many cities did he go around asking? Suppose the professor was investigating and summarizing sightings of the dragon on a continental scale.

No, that would not be true. Considering the period when writing to SNS has decreased, it is very late considering that I was conducting an interview investigation with Reflex and Felicita.

Unless we've been looking for dragons before.

"If you can't answer that, fine. Let's answer instead.

Probably never seen a dragon or anything like it before. And those sightings.

To the best of my knowledge, I have never witnessed a dragon on this continent before.

There may have been rumors and legends, but perhaps it is also a concept that has flowed along with trade from outside the continent.

It can be said that the emergence of dragons was a truly irregular event. It's a rarity to say whether it happens once every hundred years. That's what's happening these days, keep standing up.

The first eyewitness testimony, though bony, might have been a city called Erntar of Hills. And then the pet of the Seventh Disaster.

Apparently, the figure of the dragon that raided the newest village of Root, the kingdom of Pairee, was completely different from the dragon that appeared in the Hugel Cup, and would most likely be another individual. This means that as many as four of them showed up in the short term. Even though it has never been seen on this continent before.

It seems that only the legacy of having a dragon when it comes to the rural village of the pair has long existed, but the truth is that there was not a single concrete testimony. Where I went to ask after the dragon actually appeared, the villagers' testimonies were brilliantly up-to-date.

Don't you think that's strange?

If there was a dragon near this village from Tai Ancient, there should have been many eyewitness testimonies before they were witnessed besides the villagers.

But there was not a single clear sighting in this village until this time the dragon appeared. It's been decades, or hundreds of years. "

It is certain that the professor is a player.

Then why do you know about the village centuries ago?

Rae was just playing unconscious, but Lyla did say.

At each test, the in-game world time is advancing.

"Actually, I'm an alpha tester, and I knew from the situation at the time of the alpha test and the next test, that age would jump decades before each test.

I guess it was during the first test that I looked around about the dragon. It's a fantasy world because of it, and I asked the city people if there were any creatures like that. And we reached the village of Route. I ended up emptying myself at the time. No, I miss it. "

"... from before, I don't know why."

That's right, I've put a stick in this, but now it's even better.

The professor keeps talking in the wind everywhere.

"At that time, there was no specific witness testimony of the dragon in Root Village. I was just told there was a tradition of being there, and even if I wanted to investigate, I was stuck in the mountain.

There can be no such thing as zero eyewitness testimony if such a huge organism lives in the mountains of the route, which is not so deep compared to mountains throughout the continent. In reality, even the UMA that doesn't exist has witnesses.

Testifying to or seeing a creature that doesn't actually exist is because the psychology of "I don't think it's there, but maybe it's there."

If so, is there no clear eyewitness testimony, whether by mistake or by dead tail flowers, because paradoxically the villagers know there is no such thing as a dragon? That's why nobody can say anything clear. Because if we say the right thing, and a real dragon is discovered somewhere else, we may find out that our testimony is a lie.

Well, given the recent dragon variations here, even if I give the proper testimony, it's likely to be done by individual differences. The villagers have no way of knowing that.

I don't see why the villagers were creating a dragon legacy until they lied. It didn't seem like it was attracting tourists. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case right now.

If my hypothesis is correct and Root Village's dragon hadn't existed before, it would have happened suddenly recently, just like the Seventh Disaster. "

In other words, the professor deduced the fact that Rare and his colleagues actually went into the mountains, only from interviewing the village.

This is probably the continuation of the word "just" that the professor was about to say about Root Village, which I saw recently at SNS.

However, he was about to write, "I thought it would be convenient to write about the dragon legend of Root Village."

That's what "would overthink" means after that. And I didn't overthink it.

"We have witnessed people in robes about this and suspect their involvement, but it is still unclear. I have a hypothesis or a thought, but it hasn't been boiled down to the level that I can demonstrate yet. If you'd like, I'll look into this again and report back to you.

Now, the problem is that he appeared on the outskirts of the Hugel Cup.

By the way, why is it that even though you, the supposed lord, are grasping information about the dragon's appearance, there is no such thing as organizing an investigation team?

It's quite a fat liver. Normally, if such a giant creature appeared just next to its own territory, I don't think I'd feel comfortable hearing it fly away.

I don't know who told you, but it should be a matter of higher priority than the archangel crusade to the extent that it might weaken. At any rate, the Archangel will never come from the ground, and above all, the Archangel, the real threat at this point, is already dead. "

For a moment, Liliene's gaze tried to look at Lyla and turned in an unbearable direction on the brink.

This is obviously Lila's fault.

Although it was Bran's idea, it was Lyla who actually mobilized Abigail, and aftercare should have been provided.

Gradually, the couch where Liliene was sitting was teased and looked like a child's seat. What the hell did she do?

"This situation seems to illustrate one fact. In other words, the dragon that appeared in the Huguel Cup is something that the Lords know well too. We don't organize those forces because we know we don't need an investigation or a crusade.

Such a dragon appeared on the outskirts of the Hugel Cup, where the Lords and many players gathered, and left without doing anything. The dragon in the village of Route said it burned half the village, but this one is a lot more peaceful. If he had any purpose, what the hell does the fact that he did nothing represent?

Well, I talked to him improperly, but I didn't know how to think about it. You can't possibly attract the eyes of the people on the spot and ask them to do something in that gap.

However, given the long history of the continent, the time of its emergence is too close for these dragons to have any connection, even if they are all individual beings.

Given that the three-necked bones and the double-headed dragons witnessed in the early days seem to be pets of the Seventh Calamity, and that the dragons are related to each other, that is, the Seventh Calamity and this lord may or may not be in a cooperative relationship.

Considering the coup d 'état and so on, I think that there is little doubt about the connection between Lord Hugelcup and the Seventh Disaster. "

The professor drank tea again.

It seemed cold this time, and I didn't say anything in particular. This will cool the tea too.

And I took a bite of the tea receptacle cake that was ready and nodded several times.

In the meantime, Lyla's baked cake seems to have been satisfied.

When asked if she was upset, Lyla pulled her chin slightly and looked at the professor without expression.

This is the face of thinking.
