Golden Experience

I never met a bandit on my journey to King Shape.

There were people with suspicious winds, but when they saw Claude and James, they all went somewhere with the sleaze.

They must be hungry too.

He didn't seem energetic selling fights to the Claudes, who looked like healthy mercenaries.

Rather, the street is so insecure.

In the city, people like the formerly suspicious Chamber of Commerce are doing business vigorously, so there is a high rate of inclusion with thugs.

Claude and the others wanted to avoid meeting them before, so they moved as far as possible without stopping by the city.

There seemed to be no disagreement with the vegetable riches.

At any rate, I can't properly replenish it where I went into the city, and it seems the same goes for Nanaka Tomizuki, who doesn't really want to expose herself to the demons when they come after me.

"I'm so bored. Don't tell me you're being chased. Nobody's attacking us."

There was a monster raid on the road, but it was only in a place close to the realm, and it was due to shortcuts made by lying on the side off the street.

That is entirely self-deserving, and even if it is true that there are chasers, it has nothing to do with it.

Whatever you think, shortcuts that are dangerous during the escort mission are a negative point, but the two of you have agreed in two replies that they are in such a hurry. Claude and the others dealt with the monsters in a dangerous way, and they didn't complain later because there was no problem.

If escorts are so easy, it's not bad to run a regular mercenary once in a while.

It would also be a good idea to continue this style in the future. If you kill your clients every once in a while, it's stimulating enough. Sometimes if they're NPCs, they can negotiate rewards and their own lives on the shield.

"... for once, when I left the village, I kept my manoeuvres and manoeuvres as long as I could.

I took care of Nagatomisaku's friends, but that's why we have to get to King's Landing. "

"... and the people in the village... Poor thing I did."

"... Nagatomisaku-san won't get sick. It's also the first time I've traveled like this, but now this is the situation in the whole country.

Even though it was behind a remote mountain, it would have happened without the arrival of Lord Nanaka Tomizuko... "

These two can get soggy sometimes.

Apparently, the village I lived in was burned to the ground.

From the circumstances, this dwarf will go to tell the King's Landing.

It is unclear why a farmer named Nanaka Tomizuko ordered this quest, but the main point is the mission to escort important NPCs to Wangdu.

Normally speaking, it is a quest that a mercenary, not a farmer, should receive.

"Hmm. If there are more players, why don't we meet them already? Even if he dies, he's risking his life somewhere."

"The enemy is disgraced and doesn't know where it will emerge from. Neither do I. Everyone's seen by their enemies, too.

That's why I dare you to act conspicuously where it doesn't matter, so that you don't turn your attention to us who escaped. "

"Oh, if you think you're hiding something, so be it. I thought you were gonna arrange a nomination."

If you are running away from someone who appears in the dark throughout the country, in a sense it is no different from a nomination arrangement.

And because they show up all over the country, they're distracted by it, no matter where in the country they make a positive move.

"Besides, we're almost there. If the map is correct, the next time you see the walls, it's King's Landing."

A map is something that the professor somehow delivers for free.

Although only the location relationship between the cities is written, it is more or less appropriate to know the location of the streets, and that is sufficient.

"... I didn't expect such a detailed map to appear to the bandits. There is no evil in this world."

Bogdan murmured.

If you have any complaints, I'd like you to tell the professor that the map was scattered. He is the root of all evil.

Information is very powerful.

I can say that inadvertently spreading that around is an irresponsible act.

It may be nice if all the players have a good sense of existence, but it is not.

In the first place, good sense is only compliant with the game world, and the player's behavior in the game is not restricted as long as it does not violate the rules. Asking the player good sense is not meaningful in itself.

The same applies to the handling of such information.

It is player freedom no matter how you use it than it is completely free and distributed. Many of them seem to be reserved for personal use, but I hear that some of them write on paper in the game and sell this to merchants and others.

Once it spreads like that, it won't be easy to stop it, and of course some of the villains are getting it.

If you released the map without assuming such a situation, you and the professor lacked the ability to manage the crisis, and if you did, he is also a fine thug.

"So, what do you want me to do? The one with the escort mission. When we get to King's Landing, is it okay to have a high sayonara?

"I'd like to get paid before that."

"Ah, that's right. May I have a date with the royal castle? I don't know what's in the streets."

"You're not gonna ask me to come home, are you?

"... that's not true. I don't have anywhere to go anymore."

"Oh, I see. Well, cheer up. There's something good going on."

Hard to do.

The state of food insecurity in the whole country does not seem to change in King's Landing.

There was plenty of food available only in King's Landing, and I thought it would be troublesome if the gates were closed and the refugees outside were closed, but the walls surrounding King's Landing could pass normally.

And the interior of the wall was full of inhabitants who were not alive.

Some people lie on the side of the road and feel tingling and stuck. I don't want to think about it, but it may not be alive anymore.

This wasn't the end of the city where Claude and the others used to do bad things, but did some kind of closed space called King's City make it happen, or did a few days later make the overall situation worse?

"... it's like a great famine of euphoria"

"... I don't even know if I want to look at the situation like this, but..."

"... to the habit of banditry, you know very well. Are you guys actually intelligent?

"... what a sight.

Let's go. I don't know what you're talking about, but the royal castle is that way. "

Walk through the kingdom of Bogdan's lead and full of atmosphere.

Residents sitting on the side of the road may have been begging or something, but they can no longer even speak it out.

In that way, even if we could get food now, it wouldn't be long. My stomach is not receptive.

We need treatment with advanced medical technology now.

But that stuff doesn't exist in this world, and maybe there's an alternative technology with magic and skills, but the Claudes don't have it together.

Even if there is, there is no reason to do such a thing, and it is not a contract.

Does Bogdan know that? He walks silently with a sad look.

Occasionally, some dubious men look suspiciously at Claude's cheerful walkers, but when they see a mixture of elves and humans, they quickly lose interest and go somewhere.

I guess because if you're a player, there's no wonder you're not starving.

"... Am I? Hey, wait a minute. You alone..."

In the meantime, Claude was unexpectedly called out.

What I've been calling is a suspicious man walking through the city. There is no one but these dubious men who is strong enough to be heard by others.

Claude pretended not to hear.

It's not because I thought it was a mistake. The other way around.

Claude knew this man's face.

This is the man who killed Claude in the city where he used to make a lot of money.

Ultimately it was in the octopus beating with a push down, so I don't mean I was hit by one of these guys, but I remember about the face of the other guy who had attacked me that would have been at the end of the day.

Why is this man here?

Since NPC Bogdan was also present on this journey, Claude and the others traveled on foot without using the transfer.

So it's no surprise that the villains in that city were here before Claude and the others.

But there's no reason. For example, if the chamber of commerce in that city and the chamber of commerce in the King's City were the same group company, I don't know if this man was relocated to the King's City or something, but it was only because he was modern that I came up with it.

In a world where traveling from city to city can be risky and time consuming, such personnel changes cannot be effortless. In the first place, it is difficult to think about the fact that there are people who know their constituents enough to carry out such personnel.

No, I can't help thinking about why this man is here.

I don't think I have confirmation yet, but it would be troublesome if Claude and the others were reminded that they were mercenaries at the Chamber of Commerce.

This man will not be able to kill and break through alone, but it is impossible to take his fellow men to the royal castle.

If we think realistically, we can only split it into two hands and let Nanaka Fukusa go first, but then we don't know if we can get paid later. I don't think I'm still building that much trust.

─ ─ Well, how do we get through this?

"Yikes! What are you complaining about? I'm a cook! Make a mess and behave, what's wrong with it!

"... Huh?

There was a noise across the street.

The man in front of you is worried about you, and Claude and the others are paying attention to it.

"Cock, that means the usual guy... Shit."

And behold, he sighed, and whispered his tongue, and the man departed toward you.

Claude and the others are in more serious trouble.

"... hey Claude, just now, someday"

"... oh. I almost blurted. I don't know who you are, but thanks to Cock. From now on, let's stop eating away at the store."

"It was kind of a lewd atmosphere, but do you know him now?

"No, nothing. Let's go."

Eventually the line reached the royal castle.

There were more people sitting around the royal castle than ever before, but I wonder if this is expected from royalty and nobility.

There are unnaturally healthy soldiers standing at the gate in this situation.

But his eyes are vain.

Sometimes there may be less light than the dying inhabitants.

Bogdan called out to such a gate soldier.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to speak with you. I am Bogdan. Bogdan Bogdanov.

I have inherited this name for generations. If you tell the king, he'll know soon enough. "

Normally, there's no reason to invite them into the castle, such as the suspicious dwarf who suddenly appeared and his companions.

But the gate soldier went into the castle saying that nobody else had done anything more, because there was no thought left.

After a while, he returned and opened the gate and urged the Bogdans into the castle with a mosquito-like voice.

The castle was somewhat better inside than outside.

There were some dwarves that seemed aristocratic or something, but it didn't feel like they were eating so satisfied either, regardless of who they were.

To a lesser extent than the people on the verge of starvation, even these nobles have a gloomy atmosphere.

The soldiers escorting Fluffy and the Bogdans are still better for the purpose they saw.

Claude thought it would be nice to see how that was going.

Maybe, but this soldier is a so-called knight.

In the in-game setting, it seems that knights refer to characters that are systematically subordinate to nobility rather than just professions.

Its greatest characteristic is that it is resurrected even after death.

It means that you cannot gain experience in return, but unlike the player, death is very important for the NPC at the end of its life. It's a trivial matter of experience.

What if the fact that death is unbridled also applies to starvation, etc.

If so, I can snort the healthy flesh of these soldiers, as well as the dead eyes that don't match it.

I have heard that starvation is a rather painful way of dying, and if it is repeated forcibly and there is no sign of ending, this will happen.

This soldier is just an NPC, and even for the Claudes it doesn't change anything from those residents who have been killing so many times before, but I sympathize with the boulder for this setup.

Ahead, if I see a Shape soldier, no knight, I will kill him with mercy and without hesitation.

But then, what were those bad soldiers back near the border with Oral?

They looked normal and healthy. Neither was the sight particularly dead. Though I was starving.

Does that mean that hunger wasn't so serious back then yet? Or.

While I was thinking about that, I was at my destination at some point.

I thought it would go to places like this during the viewing, but apparently it's different.

Of smaller doors, but lavishly decorated, in other words, the king's office or something like that.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I brought Master Bogdan with me."

The soldiers knocked and asked for permission to enter.

Bogdan-sama, I'm here.

The soldier had no idea what the treatment was because he didn't speak at all, but Bogdan was still a guest, he said.

Had the country not been in this state, it might have been treated more politely.

Instructions were given to enter the room with the voice of a majestic man, and the soldiers entered with the Bogdans.

As expected, the room looked like an office room, and there was a splendid dwarf buried in the beard besides the eyes on the big desk by the window.

There is also a low table and sofa in front of the desk. They also have something like a reception room.

And the LORD of the room stood not, and snapped his chin with pride, and said, Sit down.

I didn't know what he was, but when I think calmly, he is the king. Then I thought there was nothing I could do and obeyed honestly.

Both James and Nakatomi imitate it and sit back on the couch.

But Bogdan remains standing.

The riches of vegetables rose in a hurry.

But Claude and James didn't get up. Because it was troublesome. Besides, the king said to sit down. I can't complain.

"─ ─ Bogdan Bogdanov. You look fine. Why don't you sit down?"

You are the king of the present generation. It is troublesome to be told as if you know each other. I've never seen him before. I don't sit down because I have no reason to obey your life. "

"─ ─ I simply said that because I thought you looked fine."

The king looks at Bogdan in a grumpy manner.

Certainly now, the NPC in this country seems to be as good as Bogdan.

If the situation in Wang Capital reflects the situation in the country, there should be no players other than Dwarves who are so energetic.

"I'm not worried, but are you feeling ill?"

"─ No, because I'm hungry. I just don't want to waste my effort. Oh, excuse me for sitting there. Because it's a hundred million dollars to stand. It may look great, but it's hard to sit there without your back."

It could also be described as a situation where the conversation is as good as possible.

I am a king and I seem to be able to eat better than others, but it also means that I am keeping energy consumption to a minimum.

"─ So, what more has Bogdan Bogdarnov and what he would have done now? You brought me here to laugh at my country."

"You seem to be mistaken, so I'll tell you. I love this shaped land and am proud of the dwarf race. You're the only ones I don't like."

"─ ─ Hmm. You don't have to ask. Let's get down to business."

You must have heard that. Troubleshooting them.

Hey, don't be an idiot. You're laughing.

Are you guys always having this conversation? Please, don't get involved.

"... have you thought about the current shape situation and why this is happening?"

"─ ─ In the end, you want to talk about it. Are you going to say it's a punishment?"

I can't keep up with the conversation because it's just the two of us.

But since I can't keep up, I just can't tell you to explain it clearly.

"No, it's not. It's more realistic. Do you know about the monsters who destroyed villages and cities and fields?"

"─ Do you know? This is the direct cause of this situation. You're making fun of me."

"Well... no, I might say so. I saw the monster with my own eyes. And I found out. Find out who they are."

"─ ─ What...?

"It should be passed on to the royal family. About the altar of the original ancestors. It is firmly sealed in a land by the first Bogdan, but it is not completely lost.

And now the monster is attacking the shape. Oh, they're not natural. Definitely an obscene monster created using the power of its ancestors' altars. "

A word came up that bothered me, but I wonder if Claude would be happy to hear that it was just a bandit.

No, this is a quest for vegetable riches. Claude and the others are just helping out.

I thought Nanaka Tomizuko should deal with the troublesome problem, so I looked at you, and I was looking at you with the look of what Nanaka Tomizuko would do.

(You...)

I mean, this is it, right? Isn't it a key quest to understand why a national extinction crisis has occurred? Why should I? I'm just a farmer!

Hang on, private business owner...

Forget the inside of this one, the story of the two mustache old men goes on.

"There is another important point. Whoever attacked my village apparently cared about the farmland. In other words, it seems that the monsters are carefully crushing the agricultural land that exists in this shape.

Why would a monster do such a thing? No matter what you think, there's someone pulling the thread behind you. "

The story is getting worse.

It's pulling the thread behind it, that is, if it's a mastermind, the first thing that comes to mind are those robes that killed the bandits once for seconds.

The continent is huge and will never happen to meet again, but I am aware of the recent lack of luck here.

"If there is a mastermind in this matter, its purpose is clearly in the exhaustion of the Kingdom of Shape. Given what lies ahead, even if we manage to withstand the current hunger, the raid will not end as long as there is a country called Shape.

And you know this, too, Lord King. the place of the altar of the original ancestors. "

"─ ─ The Kingdom of Pare......!

Me, pair of beasts....! You're going to keep the skirmish going! But I can't forgive you for anything...!

It is not unusual to release monsters everywhere in an attempt to destroy one country.

That is the seventh calamity to destroy the kingdom of Hills, or an archangelic calamity that was spreading angels all over the continent.

The dwarfs seem to think it was the Kingdom of Pare, but I don't think they can make it into a normal country.

But it's okay to stick it in my neck, and if I stick it in my mouth, it's going to get really bad, and Claude listened silently.

"I don't want to say this from my mouth, or maybe I shouldn't say it...

If your lord is a proud dwarf, don't know. Many people died.

And I'm going to die. As long as there are any sinners against the land.

If so, there is one thing you should do. Reward the mischievous! That's the only way we Dwarves can survive!

The king rose.

Until now, there was no dust in the atmosphere that you might notice.

"─ ─ Prime Minister! There's no Prime Minister Bazarov! Grab the paper! Let's get you out of here!

The Claudes can't keep up with the fury unfolding.

What have we done?

What the hell have you brought to this king's capital?

I had a little funny farmer, so I was just going to escort him to the play, but it was a hell of a thing.

It's a fight! Now it's time to eradicate those beasts! Allocate all available food to the nobles! Soldiers, knights, move! Attack the pair and take it all away!

The future of our dwarf lies on the corpses of the Beasts!
