Golden Experience

Episode 399: "I can't help resembling it. Yeah."

"─ ─ Not at all. Problems will arise from next to next, right? Now we can't go exploring after him. I'm in trouble. Hey, Liliene."

"... I see."

Even if there was no problem, it was rough with some reason.

I felt that such feelings had been conveyed from Liliene, but I pretended not to notice. It's about time I got tired of playing with Liliene ─ ─ because I'm going to get angry normally.

"Well, but I'm sure there's nothing I can do to get in the way of Lyriene any more, or go out"

"You were aware of that...."

I don't care about the Puri forest or the tower that suddenly appeared there, but she said it had Bran on it, so I'm sure it's okay.

Lyla's reputation for Blanc is higher than her ability.

Lyla herself understands that the evaluation is overrated, but sometimes in the world, some people produce results that exceed their abilities. That's what that strange friend of mine was like to Lyla.

"Then I'll go. I'll leave you alone. Call me if anything happens."

"Welcome."

"Do you think it's gonna hurt?

"I don't think so! Hurry!

I was angry again.

Lyla doesn't disappear from the sky with "camouflage."

Rare has proven time and again that even if he only misleads his vision, it is meaningless in front of skills such as "True Eye".

It's no inconvenience to say that I did it differently, but Lyla doesn't have as much MP as Rare. If you can't deceive the more powerful you are, it makes more sense not to do it. The amount of MP consumed by "camouflage" is not low enough to disadvantage the fight, but only if it is not extra.

Lyla is heading south for now.

That item, which resembles a compass, cannot be used near the Hugel Cup because of specifications. The needle will always react to the underground of the Hugel Cup.

I know there are other artifacts in the north. And Bran must be playing with the Count right there. It is also bad to disturb.

On the eastern side, Rae just erupted a volcano. Because of that, there will be player attention throughout Hills, and Lila doesn't want to be seen in an extra gallery.

To the big mess, the rest will be south and west, but I decided to head south first.

I wonder if the location we're aiming for is just in the middle of Oral Felicita and Portley's Kelcos.

Geographically speaking, it's exactly the kind of place on the border between Oral and Portley, a point that probably neither country has ever done a survey or anything like that, because of the fact that there are two countries across this forest.

I tried to look into the ruins and artifacts beforehand. There were naturally old books in Oral and Portley as well, so they were made to look into using the distribution.

However, like Pairé's book, there was nothing that specifically described such a place.

That said, it didn't seem to be verbally conveyed to the royal family like a shape.

In other words, as an Oral Royal, I do not know the existence of the ruins. This is also evident from the fact that Lyla did not notice any Lady Praeteritum at all at her feet. Because if someone knew, they would have told me.

"─ ─ You told me, didn't you? No, loyalty should be fine....."

When I get back, I'll be a little nicer to Liliene and Zezilia.

Anyway, if even Lyla, who had virtually control of the Oral Kingdom and the Portley-Kingdom, did not have such information, she wondered if there was anything near here that was not communicated to Oral or Portley-that is, where neither country could be said to be.

In the meantime, it was the area of monsters on the border that was designated as a destination.

As he approached his destination, he slowly and dared to pass over the sky, and for a moment the needle turned clockwise just above the forest, pointing north. Looking back, the needle keeps spinning as it turns clockwise.

Definitely. There's something here.

"That's fine... Someone better than I thought."

It's not obvious from above, but there are many stupid people like beans on the ground.

"Oh, I see. Is it on the dungeon list here? Okay, so..."

Previously, Lyla chose areas in the Oral Kingdom that were not on the transfer list and placed them under her control. It's the hottest part of the continent right now, the Puri Forest by Plantan.

Originally, I ruled this area to increase the number of monster tokens.

Human beings alone may face various constraints when attempting to attack humans.

If it is a monster in that regard, there is no reason to attack mankind.

I avoided the dungeons on the transfer list because I wanted to avoid being extraneously pryed because of the variety of demons worn, and because I was concerned that they would be seen by the players during the work of domination.

"I wonder if there are any players... That's troublesome. I don't know what to do."

Unlike Rae and Blanc, only one incident in the King of Pairee capital saw Lila appear dignified before the players.

What would they think of Lyla if Magnum Octeau suddenly appeared here in the woods on the border between Oral and Portley?

It was just after the end of the major events and continental wars.

Someone was quite accurate about the purpose of the war for Magnum. Regardless of the final ambition ahead, I was right to reincarnate the kings of the countries and harvest them.

Also, as far as Octo is concerned, it fits roughly in the sense that we started a war for our sister.

Why does such an octopus suddenly appear in the dungeon?

"... no, you don't even know what's here in the first place, but you're wasting your time thinking about it. I can check it out and tell you that if it looks like it could be used, and if it doesn't, it wasn't what it was meant for."

And if that's possible, if the Dungeon's boss is also on a mission, he will be able to accommodate even if the time comes for players to use the artifacts here.

You descend from the sky with a pretentious line like rare, even though it's not a surprise, but even though it's not an event, you're always tired of doing such a movie.

And this dungeon wasn't that difficult, and maybe the players here aren't aggressive. In this way, it is also possible that they were not actively involved in the previous event.

If none of them knew about Octo, they would have put a little painful black scum on a letterhead that wouldn't have taken any fashionable damage.

I can't take that risk.

So Lyla normally got off to the surface and decided to walk into the dungeon.

The hooded robe was originally prepared to be discreet even in humans.

This is the correct and original use.

"─ ─ That black robe guy over there! A magician? I don't have enough magical tattoos right now, but if you don't mind ─ ─"

It seems like some people have spoken to me, but for now, I ignore it and head into the woods.

No matter how much you pretend to be human, I am not going to party with you to challenge the dungeon.

No, because the Evil King is originally one of the top species of the human race, he is a splendid human without having to swing.

However, even if some people have a "true eye", it is not strange even if they have already become noisy at this point, but it does not seem like such a state.

After all, only players who are not so skilled are here. I don't think so. I'm glad I didn't have to make a flashy appearance.

If no one realizes that Lyla is Octo again, there's no need to think about an extra cover story.

When I entered the forest, there were fewer people outside.

It's a dungeon that doesn't have anything special about it, and I think it's like this.

Even so, I can say that you are a relatively busy person, but perhaps of the Oral Kingdom, which has not suffered enough to say the damage of war at all, because it is also close to Felicita, a portal.

Likewise, it's close to Portley's portal, Kelcos, but even though you've suffered a lot from the war, only other big cities have been attacked. Neither the MPC nor the swarm of corpses attacked the dungeons or monsters, and in that sense, it could be said that these dungeons were safer.

That's why this forest was a good hunting ground for players to earn safely.

Looking at the compass while hiding it from other players. The direction is north.

If I had entered directly from the sky, I wouldn't have had to do this, but I had no choice but to walk in and sneak in.

Lyla, who set out the direction to be taken, proceeded with her creativity.

It's as if you're not alert, but the Magic Eye and True Eye are able to grasp the surrounding creatures.

Monsters and players in the direction of travel secretly kill by stretching their "evil hands" before approaching. I don't want to eat extra time.

If such a "hand" had been present in reality, it would have been very useful.

For example, it's time to make meringues, it's time to twist the dough, and there's not enough hands.

Even without making sweets, such as scratching your back, being sexually harassed by your sister, the usefulness is immeasurable.

That was how Lila was walking in the woods, but after a while when she couldn't hear the hustle and bustle at the entrance, she sensed an MP for a few people on the edge of The Devil's Eye. The direction of the forest entrance, far behind from Lyla.

─ ─ I wonder if the tail is torn.

The "Magic Eye" sensing range is very close.

Naturally, the opponent is not following Lyla while confirming her.

The critical range of the "Magic Eye" means that in this lush forest, it is impossible to confirm the appearance directly with either the naked eye or the "true eye".

There's probably a Ranger or something, a character in a build that specializes in tracking prey in the woods. They must be following Lyla's trail, footprints, etc.

I didn't originally leave the castle with the intention of hiking, so it was a no-check about my feet.

Instead of easy to walk shoes or discreet shoes, they wear thick-bottomed strappy shoes that are totally lira's hobby and go with the dress.

Even if I hid it with a robe, even though it was a prominent dress, I didn't notice the footsteps.

If such an unusual footprint were to be left alone in the woods, it would follow.

─ ─ Shit. Now, I can't laugh at Rare's roughness or anything.

I don't know what they're after Lyla for.

If it had been marked from a square outside the forest, it would have been the 19th Century Player Killer ─ ─ PK.

Even though it is difficult to distinguish between a player and an NPC, it is a player's story shortly after the start of the game.

If you are immersed in the game world for a while, you will somehow understand the difference between something like "smell".

Especially in these dungeons, the trend is noticeable.

In an area where the monsters don't know when they will pop out, it's about players such as the large number of people who are noisy outside the forest.

Due to this trend, pure NPC mercenaries were disappearing from the realm of monsters such as those on the metastasis list.

Even as Lyla saw it, there were only players outside this forest.

There is no wonder that Lila thinks so, even if those outside were aware of it like that.

If someone enters the woods alone in such a place, they will judge whether he is a player, and if PK is mixed with those who saw it, they will naturally be targeted.

I'm probably tracking it at a distance because I'm alert to its prowess by checking Lyla's footprints, wearing shoes that I can't say are very suitable for combat and exploration, and also realizing the fact that she's going through the dungeon alone.

That's not a bad decision in itself, but if you want to evaluate the decision, you can say that it was wrong at the time of targeting Lyla in the first place.

While thinking about it, Lyla secretly activated the "Heavenly Drive" to interrupt her footsteps, and backed away from the trees, hoping that the opponent had not confirmed this directly.

Watch the last footprint from above while being careful not to shake the branches. It's like a backtruck run by wildlife. However, we do not have trouble stepping on our tracks again, and we are trying to avoid tracking them by floating in space.

After a while, the trackers arrived at the place where Lyla's footprints were cut off, and they were very upset to see the cut footprints.

"─ ─ My footprints are broken here!

"You've been noticed!

"Idiot! Don't make noise! If they had noticed, they would have lurked nearby! Be vigilant!"

The three player-like players turned their backs on each other and began to guard the entire 360 degrees.

But unfortunately, there's really no one to watch out for at least 360 degrees. Lyla is up there.

"─ ─ Up there!

But suddenly they noticed.

Rather than having someone with a good hunch ─ ─, the Ranger must have a 'true eye' or something.

"True Eyes" depends on the visual field of the naked eye, so I didn't notice Lyra up there when I was just turning my attention to the footprints, but I looked around again and noticed an unnatural LP hiding in the shadow of the branches, something like that?

I didn't mean to hide, so I don't mind.

Release the "heavenly drive", which used air as a scaffold, and stand on the ground without sound.

"What can I do for you? I've been following you for a long time."
