Golden Experience

Episode 414 "Blanc Uneven"

Apparently Vincent was able to reunite with Diaz and the others.

Bran looked at the three people with satisfaction.

I thought it would be better if there was no extra audience, so I took care to take Weiss and Azarea out of my seat, but it seemed like a good decision.

It was worthwhile telling Rare and providing guidance.

Vincent can't speak, so communicating with Diaz and the others seems difficult, but if he's an old acquaintance, it won't be a big deal. You may teach everyone sign language.

"─ ─ Master Blanc. That's right, I should tell you about the Gentiles I saw walking around."

"Ah, yes! Count, the players are coming soon!

"Hmm. Well, I guess. I told him to loosen his defense a little. But, Blanc, why don't you tell me that you're a Gentile? I don't even know if I'm worn out."

"That's right! The Gentiles are coming soon!

"I already heard. Do it from the beginning."

The tower is high.

Even if you're aiming for the roof, flying at that altitude from the beginning can be a waste of energy and a danger.

For this reason, it is reasonable to fly at lower altitudes for most of the journey, and raise the altitude toward the rooftop when approaching the tower. That's what Weiss said.

Bran didn't fly on his own because he was just following such a voice, but it was a really leisurely time.

As he approached the area around the tower, he looked at the tower without looking.

From the tower window, I could see the glitter inside, but at that time I felt the light and sound of battle.

There is only undead inside the tower, so there is no need to make windows.

But when I say that, I don't even need stairs in the first place.

A giant monument is enough to comfort the soul of the dead. There is no point in creating space inside as a tower.

The tower is both a tombstone and a huge sieve to sort the intruders.

Those who have reached the top of the tower, those who have completed the attraction prepared by the Count, will be informed and guided towards the Western continent.

Even if someone turns up there to defeat the Count, we need to defeat the mistress who is in the Western continent to truly defeat the Count.

The more powers the Count has here, the more true vampires of the Western continent will be present.

That is why it is now difficult for the Count to stand out more in the Central Continent.

It can be said that the construction of the tower became a big topic, but because the southern dungeon disappeared shortly afterwards, all the topics were stripped by Magnum.

So the Count had no choice but to stop sifting the players and to invite as many players as possible to the rooftops of the tower, switching from one end to a few shooting maneuvers to talk about the Western continent.

It is a very flexible thing.

"That said, Count, I have one more thing to say! Call me Norwegian in public! It's Magnum Nowem! It's like a stage name."

"I've heard that from Weiss. Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes, unlike you.... stage name?

The Count looked suspicious. It seems that the word "stage name" is not coming.

It is a world where life is exchanged on a daily basis.

The career of entertainer may not exist.

No, even if it exists in human society, I don't suppose travellers will ever come to the highlands, and the Count won't know.

It is impossible to help that people living in the countryside have never been to the famous coffee chain. It's not that the countrymen are bad. It is a lack of power in chain stores that cannot generate capital to enter villages and towns with small populations.

In this case, there is a shortage of entertainers who cannot go to the highlands.

Blanc looked at the Count with a gentle look.

"Hey, stop that weird gaze. I'm sure you're thinking something funny again. I'll tell you what, I know the stage name. I just wondered why I suddenly started talking about entertainers."

As I did so, I heard several footsteps rushing up the stairs in Bran's ear.

Others seem to have heard it, and the conversation stops.

Well, I looked over the roof.

Earl and Baron Vampires and Death Knight.

Two immortal kings.

And true vampires.

Who among them can identify the right dungeon boss?

Blanc is the one who led Diaz and Sieg to meet Vincent, but he might still be in the way of the Count.

I don't even know the species of most of the players here, but if someone has a "true eye," you'll know at least the individual with the most LPs. I'm talking about Bran.

I've heard Rare say to players, "Fight over there first," and ignore it and aim for Rare, the best combat force on the spot.

If the same thing happens here, Blanc will be the first target.

Visibility among players is also important.

Bran is exposed and active, so some future players may know him.

In that case, Blanc would be the target, or a previously borrowed voice.

It's an obsolete word, but it's a word called Humeisei.

"... hmm. I don't know."

I was worried about the Count here.

Hard to think of, but if the Count were to be defeated by a player, Bran would probably stop it.

It is easier to deal with if you are targeting Bran rather than the Count from the beginning.

In the war, it was a brand that also played with army-sized knights and player groups.

One or two of the player parties that are normally organized doesn't matter.

"Rooftop!

"This is the end! Be careful, there may be a boss!

"I don't know, there's a boss... hey... how many people are there..."

Five players appeared noisily on the roof. All men.

There are narrow passages and stairs in the tower, so I have seen a note that it would be difficult to fight without that number of people. I wonder if it is organized according to the theory.

A player with a short bow saw Bran and stiffened it.

The 'True Eye' scolded him like that.

I thought I'd say something, but I stopped.

Even if they mistake Blanc for their boss, this is only the tombstone that the Count built for his friends.

It is the Count who should behave like a boss.

Feeling Bran's thoughts, the Count opened his mouth with a slight smile.

"Welcome. To my friend's tombstone. I hope you enjoyed my playground. Gentiles."

Count who flips his cloak and shines his red eyes.

It seems that the ambient temperature has dropped slightly because of my mind. It was originally above the clouds so the temperature was low.

No, it's not my fault. Bran's stats have increased slightly. I'm guessing the Count has a thin range buff on the undead that he thinks is on his side.

Its Range Buffs create a sense of war and intimidation among allies.

The players took a breath at the powerful sight.

The appearance of the Count is a grand gesture that feels amazing.

I even miss Bran. This remains what we once saw in the basement of the old castle.

Recently, the atmosphere has peeled off quite a bit, but after a long time, the feeling of tightening up comes up.

This is Vampire, this is Bran's goal.

I had a little affair with heroes, monsters, and robots, but this is where it all started.

"I've got it... so you're the one who brought this tower to life...! You're the boss of the tower!

"What does that have to do with Magnum? You're one of them!

Someone pointed at Blanc and said it was Magnum. Norwegian faces are still selling.

No, no one is making the appearance that they noticed Weiss, so maybe they're judging it with a red robe.

Even so, you and them are not as polite as they are.

How was Blanc when he first met the Count?

I feel like I was a little more modest, or rather humble.

Hmm. After all, Gentiles don't seem to know where they are. Well, I'm used to it.

You said Magnum. That's the organization that Magnum Nowem and the others here made. They and I, we are. It is difficult to describe in one word, but in a simple way, it is a cooperative relationship. "

"Co-operation... it was another faction!

"It has something to do with Norway, but it's another event?

"You can think of another force for cooperation later. But now we have to figure out how to cut through here."

"Oh, it's not easy to win ─ ─ or it's not easy to win."

Exactly, but Bran is not going to fight. I don't think that's what Rare ordered, either, Diaz or Zeke.

Their opponents are, for the time being, the Earl's forces, Vincent and Weiss, and the Count himself.

If the Count's flag color gets worse, Blanc will probably get his hands on it, and on the contrary, Weiss may get his hands on it even if he pinches.

Perhaps if Vincent is at a disadvantage, Diaz and the others may join the fight, and in any case they will not win.

No, that's what they should actually think after they're in crisis.

All you have to say from the beginning is increase the despair of the players and diminish the Count's presence.

Blanc turned his back on the Count and the players and walked toward the edge of the roof.

"... no, nowem won't take part in the fight?

"Damn, what a sight to see...!

"But it's convenient. I'm probably hungry to let Harlem fight, but if we can do something about it before he gets into the fight...."

Blanc's feet stop walking away.

A word came out that I didn't quite understand.

What are you talking about with Harlem members?

Looking ahead for answers, the Count and Weiss look as if they had lost their emotions.

Diaz closed her eyes tightly with a frown, and Sieg had a hazel eyebrow that seemed to cry.

Vincent is trembling, but even a short relationship can tell. That's what it looks like when you're laughing.

Perhaps this rooftop looks like the reverse harem of Blanc from the players' eyes.

Certainly Bran is a red spot in this, and everyone is handsome with different types. I don't know Vincent's face.

Bran himself is proud to have grown into quite a beauty, and Grau, his sister who looks just like Bran, is as pathetic as an angel.

But, no, I can't believe I'm going to be Harlem's hero.

I never thought about it.

"...... ─ ─ I don't feel bad."

Everyone saw Blanc with the momentum to hear the sound.

The players are wondering. I'm sure that looks natural to them, and I don't know what Bran said he didn't feel bad about.

Vincent is already shaking his entire upper body and shoulders.

Diaz and Sieg seem to have decided to ignore it altogether and retreat to the rooftop edge, just like Bran.

"─ ─ That's the end of the story. Gentiles, show me your power ─ ─"

The Count forcefully cut off the conversation and took the word as a sign or Vincent pulled out the sword.

The battle has begun.

It was Vincent who pulled out the sword first.

With his shield up and his hips down, Vincent dared to charge the player's avant-garde swordsman with a shield. I don't know if I used my skills. Vincent doesn't talk.

He pushes the player to jump with his shield and slashes the next scout.

Gwah!

I think I tried to protect myself with a short bow that I had long ago, but unfortunately I was struck by each bow and took damage.

That bow is no longer usable. I'm sure you'll need a lot of skill to repair it, but there aren't any productive characters around this tower, so what should we do?

Weiss took control of the defensive wizard who tried to fly 'Heal Magic' to the scout.

It was Blaze Lance that was released.

Weiss should be able to spread more powerful magic, but are you worried about the damage to the rooftops, or are you aiming for something else?

A pushed swordsman waved his sword to the side of Vincent as he tried to get into the Scout's cover, which was prevented by Vincent's shield.

However, the sudden loss of consciousness on the shield distracted the attention of the scout, who took damage and retreated in a backstep.

Speaking of what the other two players were doing, they were sticking their hands together.

I thought I could afford to let the three of them fight and play, but when I looked closely, my feet were stuck on the rooftop floor.

No, it's not a crowd, it's a bunch of widowed hands coming out of the rooftop floor, holding their feet.

The Count. He's doing something.

This tower was created by him in the first place, and it may be an environmentally specific skill or something that can be used under such limited conditions.

I was impressed that there was also such a way of fighting.

"─ ─ You can't even shake that much, you can't reach me."

The battle went on as it was, with Weiss and the Count providing support, mainly in the form of jamming, and Vincent proceeding in the form of a main battle, culminating in all five players falling down at Vincent's feet.

That said, he's not dead. Players should disappear as soon as they die.

What kind of Gentile is this? Not as good as I thought. To that extent it will not be a sacrifice to my Lord. "

"... ah, or...? Your... best friend..."

One of the players squeezed out his voice.

If you can't win, you have the audacity to get information through conversation.

The Count knows that, but he dares to ride.

I suppose this is the end in the first place.

"Exactly. My beloved master. If you could do something about it, I thought I'd take care of it and give it as a sacrifice to my Lord... Not now.

I think we should destroy some of those countries and kill the nobles. "

"What... for... such a thing..."

"For my lord does not come out of the castle. This is how we, our subordinates, must go out and fulfill our wishes."

"Castle... where is it...? Rumor has it it's in that highlands...."

"Are you saying the highlands are east of here? It is true that the castle of the LORD is in a high place, but not on this continent in the first place.

The castle of the LORD is the western continent, which is a paradise of monsters beyond the western sea. It stands at the center of it.

Well, like you, you won't even be able to cross the ocean, and there's nothing you can do about it. Forget it. "

Then why did you teach me politely? I was filled with the desire to penetrate, but I managed to endure it.

Diaz and Sieg looked at Blanc as they looked up.

It's like you're expecting something to say.

Even with such eyes, Blanc is not as clever as Rare.

"Ha, Count, come on."

With his mouth open, Blanc looked like the Count, and Vais quickly stood next to Blanc.

If you say anything extra, you're going to stop.

I regretted having to say it and looked at Diaz in resentment, but he was already distracted. I feel like I've been removed from the ladder. It's sloppy.

"The Count is invincible as long as he's in this tower? As far as the battle was concerned, it seemed to be much stronger than its original ability."

This is also an honest question.

The Count was originally two or three degraded monsters compared to his true ancestors.

However, in the current state of battle, it was likely to be defeated as much as a debilitating disaster.

The reason for this was that there seemed to be skills and ways of fighting using the tower environment, and the tower might be a tombstone as well as a fortified field for the Earl.

It seems to serve as a sieve, and the function is too packed.

"─ ─ Huh. You've been watching. That's right. As long as I'm in this tower, I can get as much power as any human enemy."

The Count answered with a clear sense of comfort.

Looks like we managed to follow up.

"Well, it's time we finished talking. It makes no sense to talk to weak people like you.

─ ─ Vincent

─ ─ Ooooo......

Vincent, who barked coolly, shook his sword and cut off the players' necks one by one, and the fight was over.

Around the stairs downstairs, the next party waiting in turn seemed to be watching, but looked back at the sight.

For the Count, the main purpose is probably to appeal to the Western continent, and if you've heard what I'm saying, you don't have to fight.

The Count's presence here for an invasion from the Western continent is highly suggestive.

If you are a player who tends to think radically, it is no surprise that there are a certain number of people who consider reverse invasion of the Western continent on this occasion.

"Didn't the Gentiles have the idea of working together to make things happen? Those who turned back should have joined those who came earlier. The results won't change."

"I was wondering if the results would change, so I just stopped for the tour. Well, it depends on the person. Some of them are coming, some of them are cooperating, some of them are pulling each other's feet."

If you are pursuing an offensive at a separate party like this, if you play poorly, you may get hit and get into trouble.

They'll help each other if they know each other, but if they don't know each other at all, it's basically going through. Bran also acquired that kind of common sense by seeing many things in previous plays.

"By the way, why is the Count's master trying to gather players in his castle?

The Count thought a little, stopped trying to answer something, and showed the appearance of thinking a little and said.

"─ ─ Ask yourself. I'll tell you what, there's no big reason. Don't expect it."
