Golden Experience

A peek outside the city revealed that the Portley-Third Knights were gone in the daytime.

Apparently, he's headed for duty.

It seems to be going well, above all.

"I don't mind buying souvenirs. I wonder if this city has any specialties or something. Even if it did, you're probably importing it in a deal normally. I wonder if there's anything that would please me as a souvenir..."

It took considerable time for the youth to come from the Hugel Cup to this Zorlen, because it was a very slow-moving unit called the Knights of the Masses.

For example, if you were a pedestrian using a two-headed carriage, you could come and go faster.

Nevertheless, on this side these days, the deal to Shape and Pairee seems a little squeezy.

I don't know why, but I'm sure I've seen very few merchants overtaking slow-moving youth or crossing paths.

When I think about the two players, I might have been rubbing it if there was a peddler, and it was a relief.

"If there are fewer deals, wouldn't you be happy to buy anything? Captain, you have the vault, right? Then it won't get worse with food or anything, and how about buying up those products and making them souvenirs for each market?

"If Arena's gonna give me the money, I can do it."

"... I don't get paid like that."

"I think I know, but so do I."

Still, I'm only in a regular job and there's no doubt that Youth has more money than other players.

In addition, it is also significant that other players are provided with the entire equipment that will most likely use gold coins.

It wouldn't be impossible to buy up every market, as Arena said, without thinking about it later.

Especially since players have inventory, they basically always carry all their assets. You can buy and eat at any time with full power.

I chilled around the market for a while with that conversation.

Because the species is different, or because it is a neighboring city on land, the atmosphere is quite different from the Plantan and the Hugel Cup over there.

The same goes for the designs of old fashioned garments sold, as well as for ingredients and other types. There is a lot of exposure to clothing even though it is north of the Oral, and the ingredients don't have a lot of vegetables and cereals.

I also thought it was the beast man's hobby to have a lot of exposure, but as soon as I saw what the clerk was actually wearing, I knew it was different.

It's because of the tail.

Plus, I guess there's a lot of body hair overall, including ears, and it's resistant to the cold.

Everything looks really fresh to Youth, who has barely come out of the Oral since they started the game.

I like the Hugel Cup, and I'm not going to stop being a knight in that city, but sometimes you might want to try traveling far away like this.

I'm sure you'll be able to see a different landscape in Portley and Shapes again.

The Beasts apparently like meat, and all the meat they bake is sold at the stalls.

Seems like it was just seasoned with salt, but that's why it enhances the natural wild flavoured aroma of meat, and it had a greasy but fragrant air all around it.

"... I wonder if people like meat because it's just meat.

This kind of thing has an atmosphere that you can't taste unless it's local, so why don't we try one? "

"No, I'm telling you, Oral. Isn't street food the main meat? I wonder if there's anything else going on up at the stall that I can make just by baking it properly...?

Baked corn and yakisoba come to mind in a chain of words in the arena.

But if you ask me, I've never seen them on the street.

I know that corn is grown with grain, but in orals, it seems to have been stronger to treat a meal like placing peeled seeds in a soup.

I've seen noodles before, but I'm sure they didn't have grilled noodles. It is common for noodles to be boiled and wrapped in sauces, etc., and I have never seen them baked on an iron plate.

"... then, when I get back to my country, I'll try to advise Mr Liliene about street food.

Because of cultural differences, flavoring may be different, and I knew I'd have to look into it. "

"You decide to season it with salt. Don't tell me about the atmosphere or the surveys anymore, I just need to be honest and say I want to eat"

"There's a lot going on. I'm not talking about excuses for guilt, I'm not saying anything to Mr. Arena, I'm saying this to myself."

"Wait, Captain. Something noisy."

If you ask me, I feel like I hear noise from afar.

The dungeon is a distant city, and there's no way the demons have attacked it. Is it a fight or something?

Speaking of which, I remember hearing that the beasts were in a rough mood or something.

Fighting with others is not a bit exciting.

Especially if it's from another country, where you don't have to go to arbitration.

"Mr. Arena! Turn around, please! I got this!

There were outrageous fights among the residents.

The cause of the hustle and noise was a clean fight.

Besides, it is not between beasts or humans.

It's a fight between monsters and city dwellers.

I have no idea why, but a lot of monsters are attacking the city.

Justine quickly took the sword out of the inventory, threw one into the sheath-by-sheath arena, and pulled one out herself.

It was Justine's spare sword that gave it to the arena. You won't get used to it, but you just have to be patient.

Youth is a player and luggage and equipment are in the inventory, but the Arena equipment remains in the inn.

I wasn't equipped with armor, swords, etc. because I was originally just going to look for souvenirs.

As a knight, it can be described as a serious detour, but if there were only residents of the city, they were confident to deal with it, even if it was round hips where it was attacked. The dungeons can't possibly even imagine encountering something like this in a distant inner city.

If this were a city of humans, the city would have been devastated by now, but it seems true that the Beasts have so much fighting power to say the average citizen. We are all united against demons and have managed to avoid devastating damage.

The realm of demons is also far away, and there is nothing like a castle wall in Zorlen, a basically peaceful town.

It seems that there are no Knights to garrison, and there are only guards like the Vigilante who have grown hair.

The guard's usual job is to attract the drunkenness of the street, and it is rare even to deal with irregularities like the Knights of Portley the other day.

And if the Knights had been more aggressive and attacking, as they had been on the road before, Justine would not have stopped by herself, and so would the Guards.

However, as far as this is concerned, even if the Knights had left it to the numbers to kick out the guards, this time the whole population would have been subjected to countless acts of violence, and the Knights would have suffered devastating damage.

Regardless of how the inhabitants can fight, they are no match for the knights who are professional soldiers in their individual combat abilities.

Again, the lack of walls makes it difficult to maintain the front line, and the battlefield is already showing the appearance of turmoil.

Some enemies have difficulty distinguishing themselves from beasts in their silhouettes when they look at each other, and there is a mix of people like this who walk on two legs, and it is dangerous to fight quickly in a turmoil.

"Residents, please stay as firm and back as possible! I am Oral Knight Youth! I will protect you as much as I can!

As far as the voices of Youth are concerned, the residents have refrained from offensive actions and have concentrated on their defenses.

I can also hear Arena screaming in the distance again.

We'll have to hold on and destroy each one in the meantime.

Slash the monster that attacked the residents who consolidated their defenses.

Because of the noticeable ears and tails, he doesn't even look like a dog beast later, but if you look closely, he has too much hair. It's not a dog beast, it's a bipedal wacko, probably a demon named Kobolt.

Most monsters don't seem to be very strong, and they can be cut as easily as usual.

Besides the cobolts, I also see the goblins and skeletons.

It seems to be flying magic from somewhere, but it seems to be a mix of Mage-type species.

It seems rather unnatural that demons of multiple races are acting in unison, but I can't afford to think about that right now.

I remembered the second event before.

Justine was not yet a knight back then, and the Hugel Cup was relatively peaceful, so he did not participate actively in the event, but perhaps there were sights like this happening all over the continent.

Judith, who had openly slashed and abandoned the surrounding demons, told residents to keep their defenses solidified as they were, and turned to those who thought the magic had flown.

Mage-type fish would be better than ordinary fish, and if there were a group of them, it would be you.

Then the monsters stood in front of Youth.

It looks like a goblin, but it's not as good as the goblin that Eustace knows, and it's quite tall. Looking closely, it seems that some of the monsters are taller than Youth.

If it's a goblin, it's an unusual size, or if it's not a goblin, it's a species that Youth doesn't know.

Fighting without information is dangerous.

But behind Justine are the inhabitants of Zorlen.

The kingdom is different, and the knight Justine cannot retreat.

Justine was ready and slaughtered.

Slightly larger in size, the goblin is wearing worn-out armor after all.

With this sword from Liliene, you can easily tear it apart ─ ─.

But it didn't. Judith's sword could not cleave his armor, and he made a hard noise and was bounced off.

Ha!

It's my first experience.

This sword is the work of even the Archangels that has been damaged. Given the astonishment of the Archangel at that time, it is certain that the current strength of Youth still does not correspond to the sword.

Nevertheless, I was struck by the dirty armor of this goblin.

Fortunately, I don't seem to have a blade spill, but it's not a good idea to wave the sword as helpless as this is.

"What is this...? No magic...?

I've never heard of magic that increases my armor's defenses so much.

But it is true that it has been played, and whether it is magic or the strength of armor, it is certain that the attack of Justine will not work against the enemy now.

From the touch, if you use your skills to increase your Attack, you will not be able to break through your Block.

However, if you are an enemy with such defense, even if the attack passes, there is no guarantee that you can defeat it, and considering the number of enemies, it is a bad war of attrition while paying the cost of skills.

Plus, having enough defense to play Justine's offense also means he could be at least as attacking as Justine.

Neither Youth nor Arena is currently wearing armor. That's why I didn't have time to put my armor on.

Safeguarding the residents is pathetic, but it's a bad fight from the beginning.

It can be said that all enemies jumped in on the assumption that they were inferior.

Wet.

This was just, Justine was on track.

He had contributed quite a bit to the battle with a disastrous monster named Archangel, and had apparently become a little heavenly dog to his own prowess, which even his knighthood opponents in other countries showed overwhelmingly, even though it seemed like a new America.

I don't have the face to match them in the Knights of Portley.

I wasn't your in-laws who could have said something great.

To Justine, who bites his lips into remorse, but the demons do not attempt to strike any further.

We're looking at each other. The demon has never heard of eye contact or anything, but it is a demon that I have never seen in the first place. No wonder what happens.

I don't know, but is this a chance? No, even if it is, the state of the war will not change when one or two of them are knocked down by surprise.

Or am I inviting you?

With that in mind, the monsters began to retreat at once.

The retreat, which was too well managed, seemed as if it had been a consultation.

There are still some small, unarmed monsters left, like the ones that were defeated at first, but to that extent they are no match. It's a threat enough to defeat even the residents.

The magic doesn't fly at all, and apparently the mage type withdrew with it.

"... what is it?"

After all, those mysterious monsters only have one sword on them. Moreover, it has been prevented.

That doesn't mean you felt threatened with Justine in that blow, and why did you suddenly retreat? I don't know exactly what that means.

But for now, it's post-processing.

They hunted the wretched monsters left behind and rendezvoused with the Arena.

After the monster was processed, I used my potion to save the wounded.

Though the raid was capable of repelling, the wounds sustained by the city were deep.

About 30% of the city has been completely destroyed in the east, and of course all the people who lived there have been killed.

If Justine and the others could have noticed the attack a little sooner, the damage could have been contained. But I don't know how much I could have saved even if the Justines had intervened faster than I don't know why those demons had left.

It was an incident that made me regret and think again without further delay as a knight.

But the inhabitants of Zorlen thanked me with tears.

An exotic knight who hated even while wearing armor, appeared on the battlefield dressed and presented himself to protect the inhabitants.

The lack of armor as a youth was the result of my own carelessness, and I was not able to do much about my defense.

But as far as the residents are concerned, it doesn't matter.

It seems that the behavior of the inhabitants who tried not to serve as shields themselves, despite the fact that they would die if they were slashed, seemed to be shining for them.

The lost Eustace returned to the inn early to receive thanks and asked the Arena to fly pigeons to the Hugel Cup.

The pigeon was given a sentence saying that he wanted permission to help rebuild the city until it was ready for rebuilding.

The pigeon who returned the next morning carried a writ of order from Lilliene that he would wait in the city until he was separated, that there was no need to report on his actions while he was waiting, but that he would never leave the city.
