Golden Experience

Episode 379 "Merchant Pearce Power"

"─ ─ Fufufu. I finally got it. This item..."

Of a city, a hall inhabited by lords.

In the bedroom with the curtains closed, a beautiful vampire gazed at a small, but somehow familiar, piercing earring.

It's also natural to feel something special about the piercing.

This piercing contains a lot of force.

The item itself has the effect of a skill and is a broken magic item that can be temporarily acquired by equipping it.

For a limited quantity, items like "Mission Collar", "Monocule of Discovery", and "Familiar Loupe" are sold, but they are similar.

The same is true for owners only.

In other words, it won't go away even if I use it, and the in-game effect has only a flavorful meaning.

Because it was such an item, it would have been approved for operation.

It is also heard that similar objects exist in the game when receiving them. This is the same as the aforementioned billing item.

Bran wanted to run the fourth large-scale event as a special reward, "an item to be able to talk to people who don't use human language."

"─ ─ Well, now that we have this, we need to try it first. Quickly speaking, it's still burgundy. The Crimsons' consciousness must still be there, but I don't know if it's just the will they convey."

With this, Grau, Bran's sister (...), an angel of death, should also be able to talk, but relying on such things may delay her language acquisition.

It's good to have a casual conversation with Grau once you've learned your words.

"Master, if that's the case, you should try to register as well as we do."

Azarea said while holding the grau.

Behind it also lines Magenta and Carmine.

Sorry to bother you, but Bran's turn just ended.

"... I intend to eventually do so, but I also tried the effects of the item first. So go to the square!

Equipped with pierced earrings, they took Grau and Azarea to the city square.

Burgundy lies in the middle, as usual.

There used to be other Giant Corps here, but now most of them are in the shape. It's not like attacking a city or farmland anymore, but since it's troublesome to lift it up at the same time as the end of the war, I instructed them to wander around the Shape region for a while.

During the day, the combat power is reduced, so if the player finds out, they may be hunted, but it's no problem at all. Conversely, you may be able to gain experience by attacking players and NPCs traveling the streets unattended, and that is where they are held.

"Hey, Burgundy! How's it going?

Burgundy glanced at Bran and lowered his head slightly.

Burgundy sounds in Brandy's ears, along with multiple confusing intentions.

"... Lord, this is weirder than usual."

(... I guess I still have a brain problem. I have a brain, so sometimes it can malfunction.

<... I see. So, Skeletons that don't have that kind of extra stuff are supposed to be undead.

No doubt about it.

Hey, take a good look. Behind the Lord is the little Lord.

It's true. Looks like a new buddy ─ ─. Looks like it's going to be a lot more productive. You're the only one who looks like the Lord.

Oh, my God.

I am not directly shaking the air to hear it. In other words, it is similar to feelings such as chat and system messages.

But what matters is not how you hear, but what you hear.

"Not at all! What are you guys thinking all the time!?

Burgundy behaved surprisingly to Bran, who objected.

I didn't think I'd hear you.

Sounds like you're hearing something!

Don't be silly! Our voices without vocal cords must be heard by the Lord!

Calm down! If you don't make a sound, you're probably feeling our will!

I see! If you lose heart, the Lord will not be angry!

If we don't have a brain, we shouldn't have a mind to lose!

< ─ ─ Unconscious... Unconscious... Ah, speaking of which, they haven't come today.

< ─ ─ Unconscious... Unconscious... If you come here now, it might annoy the Lord's hand.

< ─ ─ Unconscious... Unconscious... Isn't that good? Lord's new power, we have yet to see it with our eyes. Maybe it's a good opportunity to see it directly.

Even so, we don't have eyes!

Hahaha!

"You're doing this on purpose! Are you kidding me? Or are you stupid!?

Bran shouted, driven by emotions that were not sure whether to be stunned or angry.

The Azareas shouted confusingly at Bran. Glau is surprised or flabbergasted by Blanc's anger.

"Um, Master, why are you angry alone?

"It's been a long time since those people were disrespectful. Without your husband, that was rude."

"Even though we're seniors, we're not going to stand up for us."

From this way of speaking, it seems that the voices of Burgundy are only heard by Bran.

If so, it will certainly look crispy from your point of view.

To be objective, Bran calmed down a little.

"─ ─ Hmm, that's enough.

Anyway, from now on, I know exactly what you're trying to say, so watch your mouth. "

Burgundy nodded loudly.

Was it?

"It's not like that! I knew it wasn't meant to be!"

If you want to watch your mouth, we're not talking with our mouths.

"That's it!

"Master, calm down."

Azarea pulled my shoulder.

Bran was a little surprised at this and closed his mouth.

Normally they don't inadvertently touch Bran, their Lord. Even in this case, I am known as a servant.

"Azarea is right. It doesn't look like you're playing."

"Look over there. Looks like a customer."

Huh?

Looking in the direction Carmine was pointing, a group of mercenary players appeared near the entrance to the square.

"Hey, there's someone here."

"You're not a customer... are you? I don't look very defensive, and I can't be safe with that boss monster at close range."

"I guess. I didn't know if range slip damage was a specification to exclude allies, but as far as I can tell, it was."

The players stopped on the spot and started drinking potions when they talked to Kosokoko.

From what they're talking about, it sounds like a party that's usually attacking Ernthal. From earlier Burgundy brain conversations, this attack today also seems to be a human comma of everyday routines.

I'm always surprised because there are five brandies in the square where there's only Burgundy.

He thinks Burgundy's 'Aroma of Death' is an ally exclusion, but unfortunately this skill is not that kind. Previously, Rare and Lyla were also damaged, even if they were considered allies. Bran and the others are no damage because they're undead.

"... that's what you said earlier, those guys?

Left side. They've been coming to this square every day for a while now, and they're trying to come closer to us by forming a ruling party.

The frequency has decreased to about once a day since the other day, but before that, it came many times a day.

It's no wonder the sword arrived at us today, considering how we grew up.

The decrease in frequency from a few days ago is probably due to the end of the event period.

Before that, he came many times a day because there was no penalty.

If so, I think it would be better to think of it as a regular player rather than a ruthless local mercenary.

If you look at Bran, he won't be here right away, and he's probably not interested in event threads or raid bosses.

It was a light shock for Bran, who introduced himself at a large event and thought that his visibility had grown considerably.

But Magnum's name should permeate those layers.

And right now, Bran is the only one who can do it here.

"─ What, you guys! You can come into people's gardens on your own! Maybe, but I wonder if you were playing with my pet while I was away!

If you raise your voice so much, it should reach even at this distance.

It's not that loud in real life, but if you're in the game, you can make a deep, stretchy voice with an opera singer losing face.

The same goes for Rae and Lyla, but I haven't seen much of what other players do.

It may be due to some common skill or trait.

The players seem to have heard it, and they are looking at each other.

But I don't try to get there first.

Apparently, we have not prepared a complete countermeasure to the Aroma of Death.

Just a little, but I was disappointed in what I expected.

Anyway, if you're not coming, you'll have to come from here.

"Grau, just wait here with the Azareas. Don't leave me alone."

Bran walked towards the entrance to the square.

"─ ─ Here they come."

"Did he just say his own garden? Did you say another pet? That bone dragon is about the seventh calamity..."

"So he's the seventh disaster? Much different from what I was hearing..."

"... damn, where's the update thread! Previously, the Seventh Disaster Thread was always active! There's nothing but the past!

"What happened at the event? I'm standing on a strange name sled. Who's Magnum Melm?

Unusual players who chat with nothing but a little eye movement.

Maybe Bran also had such a strange face when he was talking to Rare while checking the SNS. No, I wasn't looking for anything in particular at that time, I guess I was just reading. If that's the case, I don't think my eyes were so rough. Maybe my mouth was half-open.

"─ ─ Magnum is the name of our organization. At the festival the other day, I introduced myself to a lot of Gentiles. You can share that kind of information, right? You don't know?

"Wow, I heard you!

"That sounds good. Were you talking to yourself? Then I'm sorry. But I advise you, you'd better mutter more quietly. Otherwise, people who don't want to hear about it will ask me, and sometimes I get inflamed. Like this." Flame Torch "

Fire Class Magic "Flame Torch" was activated against a player who wanted to know what Magnum was up to.

This magic is hard to use because it is a coordinate-specified type, but the range is short, and the target is also a single object. But it's quite powerful, and it's useful magic when you want to light a living person like this.

"Gyaaaahh! Oh, oh, oh ─ ─"

The screams are there, and the lit players disappear in light.

"The butterflies are on fire!

"Hey, let's go! Either way, today's strategy is no longer possible!

Players who rush their heels back.

But even if Magnum executives let the confronted players escape, they can't face the Rares.

"Oops, we're not done yet. Calm down." Fog of the Devil, Fog of Death. "

The "Fog of Death", which strengthens the allies undead in the range, has no great significance even though it is activated now. However, multiple dense fog states have the effect of blocking the view even more. That's all there is to it, but if it's a type of opponent who only knows the surroundings with normal vision, it's very effective.

"What is this fog! Hey, which way is the city exit!

"I don't know, maybe that way ─ ─ where did everybody go!?

"He's right on the side! You can hear me!

The players, who apparently don't have 'true eyes' or anything like that, soon lose sight of each other and are severely upset.

It shouldn't be difficult to attack Burgundy from outside the square with all the archers, but they don't seem to be there.

Bring your voice through the fog to the noisy players' ears. This is also possible if you make yourself foggy with "atomization".

As long as the fog persists, the concept of distance does not apply to Blanc.

"─ If you stay calm."

"─ ─ Don't worry, I'm on your side."

─ ─ This Magnum Nowem.

"Uhhhhhhhhh!

"What is this! What the hell!

"It's horror! You can't play games!

The players are at the extreme of confusion as they are divided in a white fog, deprived of sight, and lost in distance by Blanc's whispers.

No matter how alchemical they were at the party, they wouldn't be able to make it.

─ ─ Remember that.

"─ ─ We are Magnum."

"─ ─ And here, Erntal is the garden of Magnum Nowem."

"─ ─ Septum, if you want to see the Seventh Disaster, you should go a little further south."

─ ─ Bye.

─ ─ See you soon.

─ ─ Goodbye

"... even though we didn't plan to fight, it seems we've been fortified for nothing."

It's the effect of that fog. The Aroma of Death damage is also increased. The fog drove me crazy, mistakenly stepping into the square, and the customer died sooner than usual.

"Apparently, the Lord is capable of blending into this mist. I can't say anything extra while the fog's out there.

"─ ─ Don't even say it without fog!

Having finished all the players, Bran materialized to Burgundy's side, freeing up all the fog.

"No, how was it? Didn't he tell you a little about Magnum's horror?

"I don't even feel the direction of fear is different, but it was a great fight"

"Yes, if Rare had seen it, she would have received a compliment."

"No doubt. I thought it would be embarrassing to be a real vampire anywhere."

The Azareas reacted well.

Graw also stares at Bran with his eyes sparkling.

In fact, I feel like I'm sneaking. I feel the edge of my mouth lifting naturally.

Burgundy also farted in his mouth ─ ─ in any case, he would actually say "not mouth" ─ ─ He said ironic things, but he felt awe from the emotions conveyed.

After all, Blanc has become a worthy player as a Disaster, Magnum Face executive.

"By the way, Master. Because you're not going to see the Countess?

"... yeah. It's kind of hard to see each other. I was kneeling the other day when I took Rae-chan, and I thought it would make me feel subtle.

And then Weiss went home angry, and if he went now, Weiss would be there.

"Then why don't you just 'transform' into Weiss and pretend to go see him?"

"Don't say that, Magenta! Then it's not! It's not a solution! It's counterproductive. Maybe!
