Golden Experience

Episode 378: Rewards for Satisfied People

Um... I made you dinner, can you eat it?

"Ugh...... Gu...... Oh, I'll eat..., thanks..."

As usual, Allison prepared a meal and ate it together.

Bella, a former Episcopal bishop of the Episcopal Church, is with her. It is she who is crying.

I usually buy the meal that I can, but I don't feel comfortable with the first one.

Because I haven't been a decent mercenary for a while.

Every time you change form in "pervert", you will need gold to repair the clothes and armor that you break on your own, and you won't be foolish about daily meals and potions.

Not to mention the addition of another wasteful bear lady over there in the last few days.

Meals are not so much less expensive if they are made as usual, but using inexpensive ingredients with bad taste and shape can also reduce costs. Allison has acquired the 'cooking' 'sashimi', so seasonings are not necessary. Even if the flavour is slightly bad, if you cheat with a large amount of seasonings, you can manage to eat it. This is also a diet because players don't have to worry about their health. It is unclear how skill-generated condiments affect the body.

Although it may seem pathetic that the taste for such a player would accompany Bella to a rich diet, this woman didn't pay Janet any gold in the first place. I mean, I probably don't have that much gold.

I want you to think that I'm grateful for filling my stomach.

Rather, this flavourful meal seemed to be my favorite, and even in a life where I cried every day, my meal time only came this way.

Bella is crying because she has lost the Church of the Pairé and the Archbishop, who were the backbone of her heart.

Unfortunately, Janet and the others could not see the upside in Wang Du directly, but we knew the approximate situation from rumors that could be heard leaking and writing to the SNS.

This has probably been decided from the beginning.

I'm just saying that Septem killed me because I'm used up.

And once again, I was afraid of the power of Septum, who had turned the king's city into a whole land, and doubted the sanity of the other players who wanted to confront it.

I feel pity for Bella, who is crying in front of me, but I don't think about the archbishop or any other bishop who died in King's Landing. He was somehow a disgusting, dislikeable grandfather.

"─ ─ Hey, Sister Ja. How long have we been living like this....."

"─ ─ The event is over, and there must be some instructions from Magnum... and a reward..."

As the other players would expect, it was Magnumerm who burned the sparks of war and fueled around there. And some of the executioners are Janet and the others.

Given the resulting collapse of four kingdoms, including the Pairé kingdom, it is fair to say that Magnum's operation ended successfully.

If so, you can expect it. Some kind of reward.

"This reinforcement of ours? I think there is a possibility that it will be paid in advance....."

"Ugh... Yes, that may be so, but it was said to be a reward for instigating the First Prince, and there must be something else after that...."

"Even though I had an appointment, I don't think so, but we haven't forgotten...?

"Well, that's probably... Look, look, it's always been a few days after the event to announce and distribute reservoirs and rewards, right? There was no Risart this time, but I'm sure the reward is just that late. Maybe!

"No, it's for all players, so it's not like it took time to tally...."

"─ Of course, I've never forgotten about you. As expected, I've come to reward you. Sorry I'm late."

Someday Magnum Septum stood in front of the empty house where Janet and the others were sleeping.

"Cece, Ceptem!

"Hey, when did you get there!?

Then Septum put his finger on his chin, and crushed his neck.

"─ ─ How long have you been living like this?"

"Isn't that the first for you!

People are bad.

"─ ─ Septum! You! With you!

Being aware of Septum's appearance, Bella stopped by and grabbed her chest and lifted it.

"Hey, what are you doing to Septem-sama?

Margaret stirs up the sight, but Elizabeth and I manage to contain it.

On the other hand, the lifted septum does not seem particularly painful.

"─ ─ Don't get so excited. Calm down, Bishop Bella."

Septem opened his eyes and said so.

A golden pattern appears in the iris of the eyes.

"Ugh... Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry."

Then Bella settled unnaturally and immediately lowered the septum and took her hand off the chest she was holding.

Oh, definitely the one who did it. I remember.

Oh, is that so?

"Yes. I don't know what it is, but is it a psychomanipulative one...?

Bella sat in her chair as Septem urged her. Septum peers into Bella's eyes and speaks with a gentle voice.

"─ I'm sorry about him. Actually, I'm here to save you today. I know it's hard for you to accept, but the Pairee Episcopal Church was actually a bad organization. He claimed the unobtrusive voice and presence of God, brainwashed his followers, and sought to rule the kingdom of Pairee. This is not a good thing. You see?"

"... ahh, if you say you'll understand..."

Staring at Septem with a vain eye, Bella answers.

<... did you do this to me?

< No, not so far... In my case, I couldn't move, but I wonder if NPC would make me feel so bad... But such a dangerous place is also nice.....

"I was actually working on an inside detective to get rid of such a dangerous Episcopal Church from this country. Unfortunately, it was overdone and erased from country to country, but it succeeded in the destruction of an evil organization called the Episcopal Church.

Bella, you're the only one left, but you didn't know the back of such a church. So it's not bad. Is that right?

"Yes... That's right...."

What Septum is saying is futile.

If you shake the scalpel to remove the lesion from the country, and as a result the country has been wiped out, it is the end of the fall.

Or, if that is true, what deliberately strengthened the bishops of the Episcopal Church? Even if everything had been right with a hundred concessions, the Pairé kingdom would not have perished if it had not done at least that much extra.

Janet and the others who know about Magnum's purpose in the first place, the War of the Continents, know that this is all a lie, but even if they don't know it, they will find it strange to think about it a little.

But Bella nodded blindly, without any strange gesture, or seemingly decent thinking ability.

Seems to be under such powerful spiritual control. Do you have such skills?

"So forget about that bad Pairé church and live like you want to live. Of course, the only bad church is the Pairé Church, and the churches in other countries are decent. Perhaps you can build your own church from now on. Even if you can't hear the voice of God, you can save people and guide them. Isn't it?

"... I see... I suppose you're right...."

"All right, get some rest, if you know what I mean. Lie down in that room. That will make you fall asleep soon. When it happens, you should be able to forget the annoying things and start living your new self.

Here we go. "

Bella stood up in a flirtatious foothold and walked into her bedroom, lying on an old bed.

I can almost hear you breathing. Looks like he fell asleep really soon.

Upon confirming that, Elizabeth asked Septum if she was going to wake up.

"─ ─ Um, what was that...?

"Ah, with a little 'domination' of the mind, I tried to breathe a lot. Even in that state, it seems that there are still memories in between, so I thought perhaps it would be true in her to force her to convince me at this time. It's a little experiment. I want you to keep an eye on the course, if you don't mind."

Hopefully, but it is a factual order.

That in itself is no different than before, but if this experiment were to work, I would no longer cry and plug it in. It should be a little easier to take care of.

"I'll ask you again if it went well. Well, rather than that, it's the real business I came here to do."

The first thing Septum said was, a reward.

"I don't know if you know, but I destroyed King Pairé's capital."

She cut her tongue there for a moment. In the meantime, Janet nodded as a question. The fact that Septum destroyed the King's City is clear from the writing to the SNS.

Confirming this, Septum satisfactorily distorted the edge of his mouth and went on talking.

"If you know that, you know this, too. At that time, I made a proposal to the Gentiles gathered in King's Landing. If you can satisfy me, I can reward you."

I nodded at this too.

It was also written in the event book thread.

The players seem to have been wiped out without a scratch, and on the contrary, every king's capital is being wiped out.

From a normal person like Janet, I think the act itself would have been fun, but I don't know if Septum was satisfied with it.

If the Gentiles were to be satisfied by their actions, they would not have been satisfied because the mere destruction of the King's City would not have changed much if there were players.

In fact, there is no mention that I received a reward.

"Unfortunately, they were not at a level that satisfied me. That's why there's no reward.

Except for you. By destroying the kingdom of kingdoms, or royalties of nations, we Magnum were able to achieve one of our goals. This is a great result. And one of the reasons for that is definitely your work. "

Septum looked around at Janet and the others.

You don't think you're waiting for some kind of reply this time, you just seem to be observing how things are going. Everyone, correct your posture and listen to her.

"I'll give you a reward. I wonder if there's anything you want. If you can make it come true for me, I'll make it come true for you."

Coming.

It's a selective event reward.

If the players didn't get it in King's Landing, Janet's the only ones who can get it.

"Oh, that's right.

Apart from that, salary or activity funds are also provided, but gold coins are also paid. As far as I can see, I seem to be living a rather crowded life, and if I let my subordinates live such a life, I doubt my personality. I will arrange for no trouble with the gold in the future. "

Wonderful.

This coin is the main reward as long as you are playing as a regular player and a mercenary on the human side.

If we could live a life free of the gold coins, it would be worth limiting humanity to just that.

"Anything. Something like a homemade magic item is still in the research stage, but if it is commercially available and can be bought with gold coins, it should be available.

Or, as in the meantime, if you want some kind of reinforcement, that's fine. "

This is troubling.

It's really troublesome that it doesn't matter.

Septum himself says that it is within the range that he can achieve, and even if he says anything, there is actually a limit. Nothing is good. If you say something too strange, it will make a strange impression.

"Ah, you know, is that behavior, or is it behavioral? How about rating ─ ─"

"Shut up!

I suddenly put my fist in Margaret's face, trying to say something strange.

The battered Margaret is stuffy without a voice.

I hope this calms you down a little.

Alison looked at Margaret who had been beaten and held her mouth shut, probably demanding something similar around Octo. That's a wise decision.

"... my ass is sorry."

"... well, let's just say I didn't ask. I'm used to it."

"I'm used to it!?

In an instant, Margaret resurrected and reacted again.

It's about Septum, which doesn't seem like it's going to be ruined. I haven't heard Margaret's words until the end, and even if she's used to it, she's probably mistaken for something else. That must be it.

"Ah! So, how about this?

Say it, Elizabeth.

"Pre, uh, Gentiles, we can get items that force monsters into our hands."

"Oh, maybe that strange collar. I've seen a few Gentiles trying to use it on their own in the realm I control."

Is there such a fate?

"I was hoping for a big, powerful monster that could fly us in the sky."

Good idea.

Reminds me of the dragon I had on Septem before. That strength of not even freaking out with the four Janets on board, plus the overwhelming speed of travel, was great.

Not as much as that dragon, but it's a big deal to get a free flight at this stage.

"I see...... Right. That's not bad. If you are too strong a demon, you may want to gradually strengthen it from a weak demon because you do not know if you can unilaterally 'serve' with your abilities. In doing so, you will need a little bit of your own strength..."

"Ah, that's my experience. It's okay, I haven't used the money I got this time."

"That won't be a problem. It will take a little effort and time, but if it's about the size of the dragon the other day, it can be prepared.

I have plans for you and ourselves.... Let me know when it's convenient for you again. I'll keep an eye on her so you can tell her. "

And a beast came in through the door, according to the word of Septem.

A beastly woman named Riley was in that ruin that reinforced Janet and the others during the event. No, he would be a phantom beast, not a beast man.

"The others....."

"Wow, I'm acting ─ ─"

"That's it, all of you, onashas!

"Oh well. Okay."

Nevertheless, I didn't expect to receive anything dragon-class.

If there's anything else I can choose, I'd rather be moffing if I could, and prefer something like a griffon, but what do you think?

"It doesn't have to be another dragon, but if it's a very strange order, it takes time to find and choose the materials... Whatever it is, I will let it be under my command. Feel free to tell Riley whenever you have an order.

It's a reward for you. "

It's a trick.

I'm really glad to be working for Septum.

I had a rough time taking care of Bella by doing less hands-on, but Magnumerm is still a good company. At any rate, the salary is inexhaustible, and the bonus is paying for what you want in kind.

"Well, unfortunately, I'm a little busy right now, so it's time to excuse me. If there's anything else you'd like to hear directly, just let me know."

Ah, bye.

Margaret raised her hand.

Hold your fist so you can slap it right in your face.

"Well, after all, what was the purpose of Magnum this time?

Earlier, I knew the goal was to kill the royal family... If that's all, you didn't have to go to war, did you?

Apart from whether you can answer, it was a decent question. That's good.

Is that what you're talking about?

Septem had his eyes closed for a little while as if to think of something.

"... I see. I may tell you. [M]

─ ─ Do you know the word "Six Disasters"? This is the language used in the countries of mankind. Until I showed up. "

Of course I do. And since the advent of Septem, it has turned into seven major disasters. The seventh of them is the septum in front of him: the eighth is Octeau, and the ninth is Norwegian.

"Do you know all six disasters after the seventh?

"Well, someone wrote it somewhere back in the day."

"Archangels, real ancestors, vampires, worm kings, sea lords, great demons, and golden dragons."

Elizabeth answered.

She's not as good as the validation team, but she likes this in-game setup.

"You know very well. Exactly.

Soon the Archangel will be gone. I defeated him. I have not met the king of the worms, the emperor of the sea, but I know the true ancestors of vampires and their associates. I don't know about the Great Demon himself, but if the Archangel was that big, the Great Demon didn't have to be wary. "

The Archangel was defeated by Septum only because the players weakened it, but I stopped because I couldn't decide whether to say it or not.

And maybe if it was a septum, it would have been weakened, but now it could have defeated the Archangel. Anyway, it's a personalized existence.

"Even though it is said that the six major disasters, their strength seems to be different. Some are not as great as the archangels I have defeated, and others are not.

Among them, the Golden Dragon is different. I have heard that when this Golden Dragon once appeared in this land, no one was able to defeat it. Even with the power of real ancestral vampires, who were miserable at the time. Fearing the power that could destroy even the world itself, the calamities of the time crossed the barriers of their positions and factions, temporarily reaching out and working together to seal it off. "

"Six? But with the exception of the Golden Dragon, there are five other disasters, right? The other one....."

"At the time, it seemed that there was still no rhetoric about the six major disasters. It seems that no archangels or demons were born.

Except around there, three men, the true ancestral vampire, the emperor of the sea, and the king of worms, combined with six men of another force, the Spirit King, the Holy King, and the Phantom King, sealed the Golden Dragon at the northern pole. "

Wouldn't this be pretty important information?

The name King Phantom Beast reminds me of Janet and the Phantom Beast, but all the people on this continent are unlikely to be there.

In other words, after leaving the continent, the information is likely to be relevant to the scenario.

Definitely the first time players have heard this information.

Elizabeth has an open eye. No, she's not the only one. So is Janet, but everyone is listening without hesitation.

"And in order to unlock this seal, we will need a mana for each of the species that participated in the seal. For I have deliberately waged war to collect the mana by this hand, and have gathered the power of kings of every kingdom, and have run wild, and have harvested it. I don't know."

That means that the kings of Pairee, Shape, and Werth, which Septem supposedly defeated, were Phantom Beast Kings, Spirit Kings, and Holy Kings, respectively. Which is unknown, but I know that the king of the pair was the Phantom Beast King.

Dwarfs also have a real-world legacy of spirits, and the Shape King has evolved into something called the Spirit King.

The King of Wealth is the Holy King by erasure.

In other words, when the Beast Man reappears, the Phantom Beast King, Dwarf the Spirit King, and Human the Holy King.

It looks like the fans were right about Magnum Melm Fan Thread.

"Fu, what are you going to do to unseal...?

Margaret asked again.

Yes, you're more important than where the human species is being reincarnated.

And Septem laughed and said the most charming thing he had ever seen.

"─ Of course, to defeat it with this hand. What's the Six Catastrophes, ridiculous. We are the only ones who are so afraid."

"─ ─ It was a better scenario than I thought."

"No, no matter what we do, the results won't change. Then why don't we split it up and have some fun?

"I don't know, if we keep going like this, maybe we'll be Phantom Beast Kings someday...."

"So Septume-sama will harvest it?”

"... that's it!

Ever since I decided to fall into darkness, I am ready to be the enemy of the world.

If you participate in a plan that threatens the world, you may say that it is rather what you want.
