Golden Experience

Lyla-sama, it looks like those puffins are coming again.

Liliene arrived in the conference room and office room and in the converted dining room.

Lyla frowned at the report.

This cafeteria is located in the castle lord's private area, so players who may have been admitted to the reception room will not come to us, but I don't mind. This is all the more true given the players who made Rare cry. No, I didn't ask if he cried, but he probably did. Definitely.

And it is every day that they come to this castle for sight.

It was so depressing that I thought I'd create a law through Zezilia that would set a limit on how many times I could see it.

If it conflicts with this, of course, it is jail time without trial. If you're a player opponent, that's more damage than the death penalty.

"─ ─ Well, that's too obvious, and I can't make such a law."

"What kind of law? Let's do whatever Lyla wants."

"I'm telling you I won't. I'm talking to myself."

"Excuse me.

So, what about Puiiiiiiiiiiiing? Do you want me to deal with it properly and drive it back, as usual?

That's fine, but if you do, you'll come back tomorrow.

We can only postpone the problem.

"─ ─ It's time for me to mix up with the event.

Liliene, give me a hand. I'll go.

I forgot to say that, but you said you were a Gentile. We're trying to spread the word, if we're talking about players. "

"I'm sorry for being so busy every day ─ ─"

"No, I don't mind. I do have a lot of work to do, but they're all for the people and not for Gentiles like you.

So even if you don't consider it at all, it's natural. "

She talked with a slightly troublesome expression that Liliene always had.

I didn't look in the mirror and practice, but Lylene originally took a knight with a similar atmosphere to Lyla as her lord. It's not that uncomfortable.

Whatever you're talking about.

"... ooh. I'm so disgusted."

"... that's what pissed me off..."

"... but I need your help."

Although it was a whisper, it sounded like Lyla borrowing the body of Liliene, who had "enhanced hearing."

So, what can I do for you today? If it was the same as yesterday, it would be a waste of time. "

"Ah... Yes, that. Same thing."

"Really? Then my reply is the same."

I don't mind if you go home like this. This will show us that there has been no progress at all on either side. If that's the case, it's really a waste of time, and I know it's a waste, and there won't be any more coming.

It would be great to come back here and come tomorrow. After seeing something completely meaningless, it turns out that I've been doing it all day.

If this is any way to annoy Lyla's hands, it's a big deal, but if it isn't, I just want to make a track record of "trying something" to reassure myself. Purpose and means are reversed.

"No. Um, why don't you do something about it and reconsider it?

I can't do that.

An elf woman talking in the main raised her eyebrows and shut up.

You must have remembered Lyla's frustration with her repudiation from earlier.

However, suppressing it, since I don't know the name of the elf ─ ─ I suppose it's nameless ─ ─ Mr. Nobody talked a lot (finally).

"─ ─ There is an unprecedented crisis on this continent."

"I know, and I hear the same story every day these days"

"I think the word war itself has always been in time with monsters, but now it is about to happen between humans. No, it's already happened.

As you may know, this knight, Mr Eustace, and the Knights of Portree she took to the Kingdom of Pare have harmed the First Prince of the Kingdom of Pare. This in itself is an accident, but as a result, it has developed into a war that involves the entire continent.

I do not say that I am responsible for the Oral Kingdom, but I am certain that I guided the Knights of Portleigh into the country illegally. "

"It's the same as saying that we are responsible for our country.

So you want to take that responsibility and help us destroy the Kingdom of Pare?

The anonymous elf had his mouth murmured without saying anything, but he spit it out like he thought.

"─ Yes. That's right.

This time, the Kingdom of Pare can be said to be a victim in a sense.

Everything is happening in the kingdom of Parele, and even if, as the Knights of Portleigh and the Virgin of Wealth testified, the First Prince really intended to attack the city, it is a matter for the kingdom of Parele. It's not like other countries talk, let alone fight on their own.

In the first place, it is problematic that the Knights of Portley entered the ruins without the permission of the Kingdom of Pare. The Portley-kingdom should be the most disappointed in this case.

It is true, however, that the Pairé kingdom has declared war on most of its neighbors and is in a state of virtual war with all of them.

I am sorry for the Kingdom of Pare, but there is no longer any other way to stop his country by force. "

"And you want me to help you?

"That's right. Unfortunately, we Gentiles cannot do it alone. At present, the Shape Kingdom is aiming to defeat the Pairé by sending the Knights to the Pairé, but the damage of the Expeditionary Force is also huge, and it will eventually wear out, and the Shape will surrender to the Pairé.

It's too late for that. While we still have the power to fight the Kingdom of Shape, we must at all costs coordinate in each country and stop the kingdom of Pairee as soon as possible… "

Until now, I had just received a report from Liliene, and I had never heard of it properly.

If you ask me again, I'll tell you what I'm talking about that went into the hall inside.

Strong words also have the effect of increasing persuasion, but sometimes objection is easier to buy. Especially if the other person has a negative opinion.

Use caution when persuading or negotiating.

However, this unnamed elf did not use the words "defeat" or "destroy" the pair. By simply "stopping" and bringing in a request for cooperation, we are trying to deceive the guilt that the Oral side receives.

This is certainly a good hand.

If the person you want to persuade is a lord, it is the lord who makes the decision, but it is the knight who actually makes the decision. If you use soft words when you make a decision, the rest will be fine.

But why is it that only players who come to Lyla in the game have a spooky behavior?

"I know what you're saying, but unfortunately, I'm just a local lord.

It is the people of my city that I should protect, not the peace of the continent.

I don't think defeating the Pare kingdom is something we have to do until we risk marching.

Suppose, as you say, that the Kingdom of Pairé turns back the Shape Kingdom and turns its fangs towards the Wealth and Orals, then we can deal with it.

Our country also interacts with the Kingdom of Wealth, and we are particularly cordial with the Virgin. If the kingdom of Pairee means attacking Wealth or our country, we just work with Wealth to pinch this. Perhaps the damage is much smaller. "

"That's...."

"And you just said a declaration of war. From the context, it seems to refer to a declaration that we will wage war, but there is no fact that we received such a thing in official documents from the Kingdom of Pare.

If so, marching our country to the Kingdom of Pare at this stage is much more than an extremely selfish and barbaric means of attacking us first, as it may be attacked. "

"But in fact, near the border, the damage caused by the kingdom of Pairé...."

"We have received reports of damage, but I don't think retaliation for it will suffice to destroy one country. And recently, there have been fewer of those damages. Probably because of the invasion of the Shape Kingdom you just said."

"─ Now that the Kingdom of Shape has fallen, at least we can be sure that the damage will grow again. Is that okay?"

"Is that a threat?

"No, not in that sense."

The packing is sweeter than that of a professor.

The encounter with the professor was by no means pleasant, but it does not seem to be of any use to me in this way. However, I need to think about the fact that it seems to have had a negative impact on Rare's education recently.

"In the first place, why is the Shape Kingdom a prerequisite for collapse?

Did the Shape Kingdom send the Knights to the Pairé Kingdom? As you may know, the Knights will not perish. You said earlier that the damage was great, but what exactly is the situation?

Considering the current combat power of the Shape Kingdom and the Pare Kingdom, I remember that the Shape Kingdom overwhelmingly had more knights. Normally speaking, the Pairé Kingdom with few knights can only win by defeating the opponent's country. You will eventually lose when you are attacked.

In this situation, do we need our country to go out of its way to make a little bit of a mess?

Or do all Gentiles have the certainty that the Kingdom of Shape will soon perish?

Shapes are doomed. As long as Rare wants it, it's a definite future.

But few officially know the future.

For example, in the Kingdom of Wealth and the Kingdom of Portley-it is highly unlikely that they will know at this point unless they send in spies as well.

In the Oral Kingdom, there is direct interaction through shape and trade. Even without Lyla, no one would know more about the trade in orals and shapes.

The point is, Lyla says it's a problem that this Jane Doe didn't disclose all the information she had to the Oral side.

Dishonest deals only yield dishonest results.

Whether or not to agree to the negotiation is another matter, but it is an issue before that.

Of course, it's each other.

"... I didn't say that...

In fact, the Shape Kingdom is now being hit by an unprecedented food crisis.

As a result, all the people are hungry, and this deployment is a last resort. So no matter how shaped the Knights don't die, if the country dies from famine, it's not a war.

It's true we don't have time!

If you want an early end to the war on the continent, then the Shape Kingdom doesn't have time to help you.

The goal is a blur.

I somehow pass on that I don't want as many NPCs as I can, but it doesn't make sense to pass it on to the local lords.

"─ ─ That's very important information. It is an indispensable factor in thinking about the future balance of forces on the continent. Our behavior will naturally change depending on whether we know it or not.

Did you try to manipulate our country by giving us only information that is convenient to you?

"No, I didn't mean that."

"But if what we're talking about is true, even if we cut ourselves out and defeated the Pare kingdom, the Shape kingdom will eventually perish.

If that happens, half of the original six countries on the continent will disappear.

This is an unprecedented development beyond war. As a nation, we can't just sit around. "

Well, then...

"But our country has agriculture as its main industry.

In this situation, our country should not march on the Pairé Kingdom, but provide food aid to the Shape Kingdom.

Would it be a shortcut to peace to keep that country alive forever?

"That's...."

The war will not end where Oral has provided food to the shape.

Given the Shape kingdom's aversion to the Pairee kingdom, it is more likely to be muddy and prolonged.

If the Kingdom of Shape is not exhausted, the invasion will not end, and the kingdom of Pairee will resist for as long as its life. The number of NPC deaths will increase just as much as it does.

That's what brings us closer to achieving our Rare Purposes by gathering more experience points.

That's probably why the unnamed people didn't tell us about the shape's food shortage.

They, wishing for an early end to the war, want more of the demise of the kingdom of the pair than the survival of the kingdom of Shape.

It doesn't matter whether the shape breathes back or not.

But for Lyla and the others, I want every country to live as long as the war lasts.

The shaped kingdom is packed with Blanc, and the price of food should be adjusted to keep the royal family and nobles alive. Even if it is destined to perish someday, it is not a matter of time.

As this nobody says, the Expeditionaries of the Shape Kingdom will never disappear from starvation.

They lose their minds after spending the entire event period on the barren behavior of NPC persuasion over the course of a few days.

It's not a tribute, but it's time to move on to the next level.

Various situations began to move in countries other than Pairé.

Even Lyla is getting a little tired of waiting for a report in the castle cafeteria.

In executive committees such as sports festivals and cultural festivals, other members are like leaving their own messages at headquarters even though they are happily going out to inspect the site of each ceremony. I have never been elected as an executive committee member.

The group of Krall ruins in the south of the example was still occupied by the Knights of the Pairé Kingdom. There has been no movement since then, and it may be time for you to clean up.

I also have Ernesto's thoughts. The Knights of Portleigh would be nice if we were to send them to the ruins.

We can't just throw out the occupied Zorlen and let them head for it, and the friendly country means letting soldiers out of the Oral for Zorlen defense and letting the empty Knights of Portry attack the ruins.

Lyla tried to relieve her cold expression and smiled at Nobody.

"─ I apologize for being mean. However, if you want to gain trust, I just wanted to tell you not to hide it.

For me, the current situation on the continent is worrisome. I will arrange food aid for the shape.

And apart from that, let's send our Knights to the Kingdom of Pare.

You can't suddenly target the King's Capital on a boulder, but first send troops to Zorlen as reinforcements to the Portley Knights, at least enough to measure how easily the Portley Knights can move.

After that, I will consult with my Majesty again. "

"Ah, thank you! If the Knights of Portleigh are free, we may be able to ask King Pairé to attack us...."

If you are free, the Knights of Portley will attack the Krall ruins, and if you want to bend your will to attack the King's City, you will be the one to persuade King Portley. The general commander of Portley's Expeditionary Force is King Ernest.

Compared to seeing a local lord named Liliene, the hurdle will be much higher, but I want you to do your best.

"I will accompany you on this march as it can be very politically delicate. Even if it happens like the last time, it's troublesome."

"Ah, that's right....! Um, can we come with you?

Unfortunately, there is no reason to refuse.

"Yes, of course. Best regards, Um ─ ─"

"Oh, I'm” Mr. Unnamed Elf. "Best regards,"

"Huh? Jane Doe? Elf's?"

The tension rose for a moment wondering if I had given you a name before I knew it, but it was different.

"No, it's an unnamed elf."

Speaking of which, I think I have seen it on SNS. Was this him?

That's a joke.

"─ ─ Dear Lyla. If you finally agree, what was the exchange?"

"I told you. Didn't you hear? It's just mean. Well, whimsical."

"... why such, ah, Lady Rae's"

"Shut up. Get ready for the expedition. I'll switch to Eliza when I get to Zorlen, so I'll borrow your body until then."
