Golden Experience

Episode 389: "Stop It"

─ ─ But I'm a little worried, so I'll follow you behind the Count.

All right. Be careful.

I'll tell Lyla. Bye. Bye.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

That's how I ended my friendship chat with Bran.

I wouldn't mind a little bit about what the Count would look like if he found out Bran was worried about him or something, but he's not free enough to wild horses just to see it on purpose, and he doesn't have a bad personality.

The phenomenon of the undead march, which had been the subject of discussion in some SNS, apparently was the work of the Count of Vampires. It appears to have come all the way down from the Abu Omer Kurt Highlands.

I asked Bran, but I didn't think it would be her fault because of the large number of weak undead acting during the day. Bran's skills should have left the weak undead exposed to the light of the day for a long time.

In that regard, the Count would have some sort of support skill. It doesn't make much sense to deliberately make the weak undead act during the day, so it doesn't have to be for any purpose.

Anyway, the fact that the Count, who seems to be in a sort of mid-boss position on the continent, led his own army means some sort of World Quest has progressed.

Unsure of what it was, it was the implementation of a new service, the State-building system, that triggered it.

Rather than implementing services, it is triggered by the collapse of most of the countries that originally existed on the continent.

In the light of that fact, some constraint that had tied the Count to the sun was lifted, and he was able to wave his hand across the earth.

That's what it is.

Then they will fight the players on the ground and scatter information about the Golden Dragon, as they told Rare before, to lure the players out of the continent.

"Finally. There will be more and more players looking for ways to cross the sea. No ─ ─"

Rae and Blanc were able to get information from the Count regardless of the progress of such a world quest.

If so, it's no surprise that there are players who are already out there on their own, searching for ways to cross the ocean independently of the progress of the quest.

The world outside the continent seems to be much more challenging, and if the opponent is successful in gaining more experience than Desperate, there may already be players outside the continent with higher combat power than imagined.

This is not impossible if you also take advantage of the Desperate Mitigation bonus for recurring events.

"─ I can't help thinking about it right now. In any case, the first step is to cross the ocean safely."

To do this, it is quickest to create a subdivision that uses the sea as a place to live.

He commands his men to cross the sea, and summons himself by targeting them at the point of arrival. That makes the most sense.

"In the meantime, you need an aquatic demon with enough fighting power to definitely cross the ocean. If I could, if I could grow up to be a sea king and a heel, I'd be two birds a stone."

Hills Castle, I spread the map to the table I had prepared in front of the throne.

This kind of work should be done in the office or something. However, such rooms are not so large that they cannot accommodate many people.

All the more so if they are always wearing armor, like Diaz or Siege, or have pointed parts, wings and wings, like Sugar or Vinea.

For that reason, Rae has no reputation for caging in the clerk's office, so he was usually supposed to do it between these broad glances when thinking.

As expected, I'm not so lost that I don't know where my office is anymore.

"─ ─ Well, the nearest port town is Werth's Moitier. There are villages along the sea in the Hills, but it seems that there is nothing like a huge dock where fishing by canoe is the main thing. I don't care about the state allocation anymore, so it's the same in either country, okay?"

It would be better to start with this port town and take an approach to the open ocean.

Since there is basically only sea to the east of the continent, the main role of this port town is probably to carry supplies by sea to another city in the same central continent.

As a result, ocean navigation technology seems to be underdeveloped, but what we rarely need is not a generic human technology, but an organism specialized in the ocean that can act alone.

The choice of a port town rather than a fishing village was simply due to the large number of people. If there were any unusual aquatic organisms, there would be a lot of sightings.

Rumor has it that there is an emperor of the sea to the east of the continent, and if Blanc is heading west about the Count, we will attack the east.

This city was with the former kingdom of Werth, but it seems to have little effect on Amarier.

"Looks like you're already an independent urban state now. It's a long way from Grossmund and the Old King's Capital, and the Abu Ommercato Highlands are cut off nearby, and the trading route is getting thinner along the way."

In the continent before the massive appearance of players, information basically moved along with supplies transported by transactions. There were also special information transfer technologies such as pigeons and arm's length communication, but they were basically for the upper echelons of the country and city, and were not available to everyone.

Inevitably, the spread of information was mediated by pedestrians moving from city to city, and rumours seemed to have penetrated the area.

However, the appearance of the players also caused a change in the environment, and the rapid change prompted the explosive spread of information, which probably stopped it in the Kingdom of Wealth.

That said, not all the cities were swallowed up by the waves.

In the vicinity of King's Landing, some pedestrians would have seen the Virgin first-hand, and perhaps they could have given credibility to the information from the players.

However, in rural towns without such peddlers, it would have been difficult for the whole city to trust what the Gentiles said.

Such a tendency can be seen in the information submitted by Mare on the distribution of the Empire's cities as far as she knows.

The port town of Moitier, or the port city state, is one of them.

Rae talked to Sugar, who was accompanying him with the story.

When I was traveling here, I heard from my staff that someone should accompany me.

There may not be anything particularly dangerous about it, and it was good for either, but if taking someone with you makes everyone feel safe, then taking them with you is not stingy.

Even if it's impossible to get Sieg out of King Hills' defense, it doesn't matter if he's Diaz, who doesn't have a certain job. It was also just strengthened, and I couldn't help it because I wanted to try the power.

Unfortunately, however, Diaz still does not have the ability to fly. It's impossible to walk to the easternmost end of Wealth.

I decided to have Sugar accompany me at another opportunity to develop new powers.

Sugar is also one of the few places where it can operate underwater.

If I were to take someone to the sea, it would have been decided from the beginning.

Then he asked Diaz and Vinea, who were free, to do something else and flew to Moitier with Sugar.

"First of all, you must be the lord here, King. Let's keep it" operational ". The Urban Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to have made it this far, and we'll call Gustav later to keep the city's main merchants under control."

Rare, who had finished his minor chores and was able to use Moitier as a temporary base, went to the coast.

It's a little off the harbour district where ships dock, like a beach.

It may be Theory who listens in a crowded place, but it is either the ruling king or his men. Nothing Rare needs to do on his own.

I've left Sugar with your director, and the information will come up eventually.

Rae had never seen much in the game before, he wanted to see the ocean.

The waves that hit the white sandy beach are broken and disappeared, and the waves that hit the white sandy beach are broken.

On the beach, there are many strangely shaped shells peeking into the face, which sometimes reflect sparkling light and are very beautiful.

If it had been real, it would have been a spectacular sight for tourists, but there was no one here.

It is a sight of no particular significance to the local NPC who was born and raised here.

Then Rare took off her leather braided boots and stepped on the beach barefoot.

White feet are slightly buried in the sand, leaving little footprints behind.

I try to pinch and lift the hem of the robe and dress and walk with the epilepsy and its traces on the wave strike, but it eventually disappears exposed to white waves.

When you walk around looking at your own footprints that grow behind you, sometimes you step on shells or something, but you can't pull out rare defenses from those shells.

No such physical damage, but in this situation, where only the foot is exposed, the sunlight is causing a small amount of damage to the foot. It's sunburn.

Even so, if it's just my feet, it's enough damage to cover with natural healing, and it doesn't rot, just turns a little red. It's not enough to care.

Rather, the freshness of walking barefoot on this beach alone is more important.

This is impossible in reality without even having it on a private beach.

It feels really pleasant when you step on the sand.

The heat of the sand and the light of the sun were only slightly felt at first, but this is my hobby when I get used to it.

Occasionally, it can get wet to the ankle without avoiding the waves that come against it, but the unexpectedly cool feeling of the waves is not bad compared to the sand.

"Fufufu...."

"─ ─ Disaster is a maiden on the beach...."

I heard a voice unexpectedly.

I was distracted by my footprints and didn't notice, but it looks like someone was there.

I learned a little bit of shyness and asked for a stronger feeling.

"Who are you?"

"Wow! I was talked to!

That's where I talked to you first. It's really unreasonable. Maybe I just picked up a rare audible enhancement that made me talk to myself.

"Maybe this beach was your land or something? I'm sorry if that's the case. It was so beautiful."

Return to where you left off your boots, pick them up and pay for the sand.

I put "wash" and "dry" on my feet and put on my boots.

"No, it's not my land! Just be careful, because I saw a figure on the sandy beach, which is usually empty!

If this is a local NPC, there is no need for more sandy beaches.

It would also be the same for players who have been working in this city for a long time. Even though it's a beautiful and rare environment, I'm tired of logging in and watching it every day.

In other words, if someone is here, they have a good chance of moving in or starting a new player.

It seems that he has come to see the figure in search of such a new friend.

He was dressed as a fisherman, no matter how he looked, in a costume that exposed him to sunburned skin. However, it can be seen from the confirmed LP and MP that the ability value is quite high. As you can see, I don't know if I'm producing fish, but I think I know how to fight at least somewhat.

"Is there usually no one there? It's so beautiful. I have lived mainly in forests, caves, etc. This kind of view was fresh and stuck. You showed me something ugly."

"Such an ugly thing..."

"By the way, I don't know you, but apparently you know me."

No one associates Rare with the enemy of mankind just by looking at him now.

It is clear from his first words that he would have known the existence of the Seventh Disaster beforehand.

"Uh, s, no, with rumors! I've heard rumors! There was... The..."

"Hmm. By the way, I still don't have the answer to my first question. I asked who it was."

"Ah, whoa, me, I said mixed orchids, I'm a player! Oh, no, I'm a Gentile!

Magellan. As you already know, I am Septum. Magnum Septum. Nice to meet you. "

A decent name for a player.

I have trouble reacting when I hear that it's too strange a name, so it's really helpful if you're dealing with a common sense person.

Unfortunately, as long as there is an audience, I can't go any further.

But it is only local NPC interviews that are available to the King and Sugar. Maybe some player-specific information, and depending on what you think, this could be lucky.

"I think you've always lived around here. [M] Then you'll also be familiar with the sea creatures around here. Why don't you tell me about this sea creature?"
