Golden Experience

The walls of the Hugel Cup Castle lord's canteen have a large map of the continent. This room was no longer a dining room but a conference room.

Blanc said when he saw Lyla writing markings of bees and riots everywhere on that map.

"Something like that. Popcorn?"

"Oh, you mean it looks like you started playing corn with a frying pan? I know you well. Have you ever made one?

"I saw it in the video!

Popcorn reminds me of the cinema.

"Does this game have a caramel?

"As far as I know, maybe you can make something like caramel popcorn."

"... you got it."

"Come on."

Lyla looks back and laughs at Rare.

"By the way, I've never made it because I don't like it very much, but I think I can make caramels if I want to."

"Ah, then it seems to be with a player who's already made it"

"Maybe there is. It's not that hard."

If there is, perhaps we are now alienating around the city of Reflex.

We need to order Gustav to do a market research on confectionery.

Like Lila, I don't particularly like rare or caramel, but I like caramel-flavoured sweets because they stick to my teeth.

If such variations are occurring, it is not stingy to provide financial support to the producer.

"No, I don't care about caramel or popcorn now. I missed the point."

"That's right. Then let's go back.

First of all, thank you, Bran. Thanks to Bran's hard work with Zorlen, the situation has become more chaotic. "

"You're welcome! But it's not that big of a deal."

"No, that's enough. The important thing is that a giant appeared there."

"..."?

Close your eyes and check your SNS.

The warm writing that Blanc had met predicted that the Giant Corps would be in a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Pare. No, as far as the tone goes, I can say this is almost conclusive.

And she has her own voice and credibility, which is almost as widespread as if it were true.

"The shaped Giant Corps has emerged to protect the city of Pare, so the tide is rising that it was Pare's fault, as the Shape Kingdom expected.

Originally, players rarely question the opinions of NPCs, and conversely, NPCs tend to believe players' stories when they know that they have a huge information network.

Can we think of this as a fact all over the continent? "

"I see! Ah, so what's going on with Wealth? I feel like I was messing with Wealth at first."

"That's a good question, Bran. Of course, Wealth should be in a bad mood.

Well, I don't know because the players who are mostly active in Wealth are barely out there right now. "

"Well, it's an underground clan that seems to have most of the players who don't show up.

Reports from Mare indicate that the pair are consistent in their perception.

Seems like it was quite elevated by subtle incitement, and you gave me permission, so it's time for that country to flip over. "

Hmm.

Lyla stood up with a nigga and drew a star on the map of the wall. The location is Glossmund, the city next to the King's Capital of Werth, under admirable reconstruction.

The reconstruction of that city was actively funded by the Werth Episcopal Church and the Chamber of Commerce under Kelly, under a joint name.

Even though the monster attacked me, it was the players inside. Reconstruction itself was relatively easy.

Among them, he had the power of gold say things and renovated many religious facilities and commercial facilities under the umbrella of the Chamber of Commerce.

Many of these commercial establishments include accommodation.

Anyway, all the inhabitants have already died. Even if we recruit colonists, we don't expect to gather in this time of war.

In the meantime, it would be better to add more temporary accommodations than create more uninhabited areas.

With regard to religious facilities, the former monarchy hall was renovated to build a splendid cathedral comparable to that of the King's Capital.

Rae intended to move Mare and the headquarters of the Wealth Church to this city.

A city where you can meet the much-talked Virgin at home and abroad.

It is also close to the King of Wealth, and has a thick street so it's easy to access.

And state-of-the-art commercial facilities and accommodations renovated with a huge budget.

Yes, this city is going to be a resort town.

Because there is a state of war, even if the city is completed, there is no immediate prospect of attracting customers.

But either way, the city's main target is the players. On average, players have more gold coins than NPCs, and they don't have much restrictions on movement. Few people buy houses and settle somewhere.

Those are the players, but if Virgin Amarilla moves here, there are a certain number of forces that will automatically stick together.

Whether it's during the war or not, it's during the war that they won't leave Mare.

And if it were a city of saints, it would surely protect me with my life.

That's right, Rare. Suppose the players really build their country, and then this city becomes the capital. "

"Isn't that right? If we leave the kingdom alone, the cathedral of King's Landing will be destroyed."

"Is it okay for the capital of a religious state to be a pleasure town?"

"That's the doctrine, isn't it? Well, I don't know the doctrine of the Church."

At least you should be more prosperous than lonely.

In that regard, a talking pleasure town is enough.

"Speaking of which, the town of Zorlen, which I was protecting, was occupied by Lyla."

"It's not my place. Portley-kingdom. As I have said many times, Oral is against the war ─ ─"

"Anywhere is fine, but bye. If the giants hadn't come out during the occupation, wouldn't they have thought it was unnatural?"

If the giant appears when Shape invades, and Portley doesn't, then there will also be players out there who will find some reason.

Moreover, as a kingdom of Pairé, he originally declared war on Portley-- I should have been more alert to Portley than to the shape, and the shape was more unscheduled.

Appeared during an unscheduled invasion and did not appear during the scheduled battle.

"Blanc is right. Then what do you think is the most likely reason why the Titans didn't show up?

"Yeah? Mm-hmm...."

Lyla visits, Bran worries.

Rare was also interested in this. What does Bran say?

"... because I was working hand in hand?

"Who and who?

"Well, the Portley-Kingdom and the Titans.

If Shape's behavior is to be disrupted and Portley's behavior is not to be disrupted, that's likely the most likely reason.

I mean, it's true. I'm working with Lyla. "

"That's right. It may be a ridiculous inference for players, but seeing the facts alone doesn't deny it."

"If that's what you think, the next thing you think about is why the giants came out in the first place.

As Rare said earlier, if it is recognized as a fact that Pare and the giant are in a cooperative relationship, everyone should think about it as a premise.

In addition, the Titans will be working with Portley. "

"You think so?

"I wonder if the giants were double-handed or if Pairé, Titans and Portley were all glued together from the beginning."

Interesting hypothesis.

The most unlikely direction, but possibly not zero. But even if there were other players who could come up with this theory, they would not insist on it.

It is the first premise, because it ignores the fact that the pair declared war on Portley.

"I see. Regardless of Rare's two-legged theory, the latter theory tells us what the Pairee Kingdom gained and caused a series of disturbances.

If you were in a cooperative relationship with Portley, you would have said that the pair had already agreed to the first territorial invasion and the prince's runaway, and that the war would have been the end of the war. Objectively speaking, I don't see any merit in that, and it's a bit unnatural. "

"Wait. Why are you flying stray bullets at me?

"The Titans are being manipulated by red robes, which they think are part of the Seventh Disaster.

Seventh disaster, it turns out that the White Robe was hurt by the ruins of the pair, and I think the player's gaze suggests Rae, the only one with a cracked identity, is recognized as the main mastermind. "

Apparently, just listening in silence will damage your unwanted reputation.

"Then let me join you in the story.

Another drawback of this hypothesis is that it is considered from Bran's point of view.

The theory is just a fact, except for the subjectivity of the Pare kingdom. There are forces that want to start a war, and they just made it happen. It can be said that Bran came up with this hypothesis because he knew the fact.

Indeed, in making a hypothesis, it is important to exclude all motives and enumerate only facts, but this is a bit arbitrary. Bran knows too much about it.

If you suddenly talk to someone you don't know, they'll probably call you a conspiracy theorist.

If this were the case, I would still be more convinced by Bran's theory. "

"Really... Bye, I wonder if Rare's theory of double-crossing is going to help."

Bran doesn't seem willing to give in either.

"Shit, I know you both like two strands, but there's a hypothesis a little more than that.

Even when it comes to the two strands, the Titans didn't take an aggressive side of Portley apart, they just gained for Portley as a result of doing nothing. That's not what happened because Portley wanted it.

When I think about it like this, it comes out well. I wonder if the Kingdom of Pare is simply not in control of its collaborator, the Seventh Disaster. "

This is a very convenient hypothesis for Magnum.

If that's what players and the Heads of State will recognize, we'll only need to find a convenient place in the future at our convenience. It's easy enough not to have to do extra work.

And at the same time, this should be a desirable development for players.

"This is also a hopeful observation, but people want to believe that it's convenient.

Last time, as we all felt painful about the previous event and one thing at the ruins in between, it's not that easy to beat Rae. It's even hard to bring it into proper combat in the first place. 'Cause you don't usually know where you are.

If the kingdom of Pare and the Seventh Disaster are truly sincere, this Seventh Disaster must also be defeated in order to defeat the Pare. That's a little difficult.

But if the Pairé kingdom is not able to fully control the mastermind group led by the Seventh Disaster, there will be a gap in it. If we do this well, we may be able to defeat the Pairé kingdom through the Disaster Class. "

"I see!

"It seems that the SNS hasn't come to a conclusion yet, but since such opinions are also coming out, I think we will eventually go in that direction.

Well, even if I hadn't gone, I still have my family's treasure sword. "

It must be about the professor.

Apparently he doesn't intend to actively write to the official SNS anymore, but he won't write to me if he asks.

But it is a last resort.

Information manipulation through SNS has a very powerful effect, but it is also a double-edged sword that if discovered, everything may become bright.

It is ironic that the family's treasure sword is a double-edged sword.

Also, as rare, there was a negative feeling about taking that measure.

It's because I feel a little reminded to move things around with such a clear lie.

If you're going to behave as an NPC, I still think you should only leap in the game, and even if you come up with the need to act mundaneously for some reason, that's not now.

I may have a difference of opinion with Lyla about it, but I'm not the sister that I don't understand when I talk to her, and I think she should probably listen to me.

"─ ─ Well then, it's time for me to go to the King's Capital of Pairé.

The Temple Knights are finished, and it's time for the army to reach the northern side of the Shape near King Pare's Capital. "

"Temple Knights! I wonder! Can you do something about Mirage?

"Mirage is somehow different. Somehow the temples."

Lyla corrected Bran's response.

What are you talking about?

"I don't have either. It's the new Order of the Pairé Church. Even if I say knights, none of them are particularly close to anyone.

I made it to protect King's City and spread my faith. I'm not naming it after you. "

"I guess. The sense of direction is slightly different."

"Well, anyway, if there's an enemy looming in the king's capital of Pairee, that Temple Nights will have an opportunity to be active, and I thought I'd go on the ground once."

"Ah, a little town."

Lyla, who heard it, stopped Rare and closed it a few times to see something.

"That northern side of the army, but the aim may not be straight to the king's capital.

I'm picking up information from a lot of places, so it's not real time, but I think the current location of the army is around here, and the direction of the formation is this way. "

Lyla pinned a piece of paper to the map that would have imitated the troops. And the maid who saw it changed her complexion. This is not to mention that the maid has a high level of military insight and has not noticed anything about the shaped soldier.

Beyond the map is the wall.

This means that Lyla punched a hole in the dining room wall with a pin, which would certainly make her angry.

"... okay. It's not our wall.

I wonder if this is how it feels to march past the west of Wang Du. I wonder if they're going to set up north of Wang Capital and blackmail the southern armies that are heading north from the south. "

"No, the opponent is not moving, and it makes little sense to change the march route to intercept.

It makes more sense to think of a different destination than that. "

"If it's not King's City... the ruins of Prospere"

"I guess. Well, if I were you, I'd aim for the pasto in front of me with a plunder named Supply. If we take this place down, we can take a look at the King's Landing and get a glimpse of the ruins."

"Well, that's not funny."

The city of Pasto is the nearest town to Prospere ruins.

If the ruins were to be opened to players in the future, the importance of the pasta could increase to a level comparable to that of a city such as a portal.

I want to keep that city under control, if I can, for the same reason that Lyla put Zorlen under control.

I guess I'll summon the Titans again. My turn?

"... no, if I were a giant, I'd be under my command, and this time I'd go. Besides, the giant and I are already connected, so we don't have to hold back on the giant in the first place."

"If Rare goes, I'll leave it to you. If only the royal family were alive."

In other words, it is a premise of the destruction of the King's City, but how clumsy do you think your sister is?

I would also like to try out the temple knights, and I would certainly like to see a little bit of it, but I intend to do it before the King's City is destroyed.

"Well, I guess I'll see how Shape goes, too.

Something aristocratic? A force like that was trying to gather in Wang Capital, and our chamber of commerce violence-makers were more or less gathered in Wang Capital, right?

Except for King's Landing, I didn't seem to have the strength to resist anymore, and I didn't think I needed violence. "

The food situation in the country was worsened as a result of the Knights dispatched by the Shape to the Pairé, aiming at resurrection.

Because samurai do not eat Takayashi, and knights do not eat Takayashi; but the lord's nobility is not.

I don't want to be defeated by that country right now. Maybe you should ask Bran to check on you and if necessary, take care of you.

"Well, please.

Rare, Blanche, Pairé and Shape say hello. "
