Golden Experience

Episode 427: Take off your hood, but wear your cat.

I was very interested in a place called the Underground Kingdom.

However, it is not very efficient to look at the same place with multiple members. When I heard the report, it seemed like they were attacking from a different direction than Rare's, and it would be better if they didn't do anything extra.

The underground kingdom is left to the professor, and Rare should look for another city. If there is one.

No, I stepped into the other continent before that, so I should say hello to the owner of this continent first.

The Mayor and Gustav were entrusted with the economic strengthening of the port town, and Rare took Kelly and Marion out of town.

Shigen Castle, where the true vampire Geraldine lived, was said to be in the middle of the continent, and for the time being walked west.

After walking for a while, I lost sight of the town and "summoned" Yubel.

I don't know how big the western continent is, but I don't think it's within walking distance.

The three of them ride on the back of Eubel, heading west over the continent.

I saw a lump of flying LP several times in the distance, but I didn't try to get close.

It seems that none of the Rares on their backs who are activating Hidden Ambush have the courage to sell Yubel a fight.

There was no such large monster flying on the Central Continent.

In the Western continent, there are threats to non-terrestrial habitats.

Even if other players bring a flyable monster "on mission" in the Central Continent, it does not seem to be an environment where they can act easily.

Yubel's flight speed is quite high with high stats and "Fast Flight".

Still, it seemed like it would take a long time to get to the centre of the Western continent, and it was unclear whether it would arrive in time.

Logging out would be troublesome, so I thought about dropping around Uluru as a landmark and coming back the next day, but I couldn't even see if it happened to be directly above the underground kingdom.

The professor will also die, and when I get the chance, I will end up without seeing the underground kingdom that I want to peek at. That's troublesome.

"Whether or not to drop Uluru, let's fly where we can and then think."

"... you know, you should just" summon "normally on the ground."

"... that's why the boss said he wasn't ready for covert action."

"That's true. In other words, if you throw from this height, Uluru may die, and if that happens, you'll have more time to resuscitate. All right, let's set a point for Uluru, and we'll get off for a while."

I casually saw the scenery while modifying the trajectory in a slightly calm direction due to suggestions from the subordinates.

The Western continent, overlooked from above, certainly seems to be a harsh environment.

It seems that the area around the port town was rich in greenery, but after a while, the amount of green gradually decreased, and the dry land such as wilderness or desert exposed the rock skin.

Occasionally growing plants have no leaves at all, as if the roots of the trees were just stretching toward the sky.

Some of the dead trees were quite thick, but is it a plant unique to the Western continent? I've never seen it in the middle of the continent or in reality.

It would have been better if we had "appraised" it a little closer, but if we lower the altitude any further, we may be found by terrestrial organisms, and we will have to rise again when we cross the mountain. That's not what I want to know.

Nothing else grows like a plant. It's not strange to have a cactus in the atmosphere, but nothing like that happened. Only dead trees.

There were groups walking in the wilderness from time to time.

Unlike a dead tree, it is small so it cannot be seen from above, but is it a naked osan?

A group of naked men with clubs are wandering around. It's a very serious matter.

Western continent. What a dangerous place.

I saw something scary or dirty, and somehow looked at the group in such a strange mood, and suddenly a scorpion appeared and attacked Osan and the others. It is quite a size to know clearly from this distance that it is a scorpion. There is no comparison with Margaret.

The scorpion wrapped up the osmans in a rag, and turned them into chunks of meat, and began to carry them right into his mouth. It was supposed to be for dinner. It seems that Osan is nothing but bait for scorpions.

Well, as the professor said, there is no doubt that the environment is more difficult to survive than the central continent.

After flying through dead trees and wilderness areas for a while, I finally saw the end.

Next to the wilderness is the mountains.

The mountains are not so high, and it seems that there are still many creatures living there.

There is a lot of water or green. In other words, I thought that there was too much green for forests and woods, and if I looked closely, the green bushes were not trees. That's probably grass. The stem is blue, at least not a tree.

If we get closer to the surface now, we may have been immersed in a mellous feeling as if we were getting smaller, but from this height it just looks like an unusual sight.

Such an unusual size of grass is good for the wind.

I thought this was an illusion.

There is not enough wind to shake that size of grass.

Those grasses seem to be moving on their own. I wondered why she was trying to eat naked osan walking on the ground with her bud open like a mouth.

Cannibal plants. Man-eater or something like that.

I've never seen a monster plant other than Trent. This is very interesting. Can you manage to get the seeds and root them in the Tree Forest?

When they realized they were being targeted by cannibals, Naked Others began to fight with a club in their hand. The LPs of cannibals began to shine when they entered full-scale combat. I suppose he was also using Pseudox or Hidden Vault during his predation.

It's too far away, it's unrealistic, and it just looks like it's jamming. In a sense, it is a Merchenic sight of giant flower buds and playful essays, but the people themselves are dying.

The cannibals who missed their first shot were surrounded and beaten with sticks without much resistance from the winning Othans. It's Osan's victory.

Osan and the others pulled the defeated cannibals out of their roots and took them somewhere. Do you eat it? To feed plants that may have eaten their own companions is a bit of an ethical isolation from humans in the central continent.

While doing so, the mountaintop crossed and the scenery shifted to the other side of the mountain range.

Considering the rarity that keeps peeking underneath, it seems that Uber was flying a little slower. I found myself going a little faster across the mountains.

Beyond the mountains were swamps.

For a moment I thought it was a wetland, but that green would be a kind of floating grass. Too short and too flat overall.

I was wondering if there were any interesting creatures here, and I could still see them.

"No, I don't need Osan anymore. What the hell? When it comes to harsh environments for humans, they usually run naked."

"... no, boss. It's not an osan, it's not a big pig...."

Speaking of which, I think the professor said something about an orc in a chat.

I see. Is that so?

"Oak. Western-peculiar hybrid monsters. That's why I feel like I'm everywhere."

If you think of it as a monster rather than a naked one, your wonder and disgust will fade.

As far as I can see, it seems to be less intelligent than a goblin, but is it shaken by VIT or STR?

The bare oaks of the swamp stood by the swamp and slammed the water with clubs.

I wonder what you're doing, but it looks like you're catching fish.

It is a smile to think that weak monsters are playing in swamps, but it is certain that their future will not be bright.

Something huge with a large LP is targeting the orcs from beneath the swamp's floating grass.

I don't know what that is, but the orcs can't fight it.

I was a little curious, and I thought maybe Yubel would stop for a moment, and the orcs disappeared in a moment.

The floating grass is disturbed and there is a gap in the water surface.

It seems to have been dragged into the swamp in a moment.

I felt a little sorry for myself, but this is not enough to go down and check it out. There will come a chance to be seen someday.

I looked back at it.

Black clouds lie thick in the sky ahead.

I don't know if it's that kind of weather or that kind of area, but maybe it's the area that the real ancestors control from there.

Rare sends Jubel back slightly, descends once around the mountain and swamp boundaries, and 'summons' Uluru.

There's only about an oak here. Putting Uluru down will not cause any problems.

If a giant temple emerges here, the orc will have to bypass either the marsh side or the mountain side to get through, and you'll be in danger for that. I'll let you put up with it for about one night.

Beyond the marshes was the evening world, always covered in thick black clouds, as you could see.

The sun doesn't shine, and no ordinary plants seem to grow because of it.

The trunk and branches were twisted twisted, and the leaves were all black and purple. At first glance, all abnormal plants can be seen there.

It's an environment that can only be described as horrible, but it's comfortable for Rare.

There seems to be no problem in this area even if I keep my eyes open at all times, and maybe I don't need a robe.

There are only abnormal plants breeding on the ground, and some flying monsters can't be seen anywhere near the swamp.

It is an area where there are no signs of creatures above or on the ground.

If the undead were to rule, it would seem so.

If there is Shimoto Castle, it will be the center of this area.

And that's the center of the Western continent.

The scenery was largely irreplaceable, but after flying more distances than ever, Eubel finally arrived at Shigemoto Castle.

The area around Shigoen Castle always seemed to be covered in fog, and even as it approached, it was impossible to see its full contents.

If true ancestor vampires have the same abilities as Blanc, I'm sure this fog range is all on the palm of the true ancestor.

No, you should think that you have better abilities than Bran for a long time to live.

It is dangerous to say that you will enter the fog while riding on Eubel, and above all, it seems to be reckless, so Rare dropped Eubel into the earth once.

I came here to say hello. I can't pretend to be too rude.

I'm going to walk to you from here.

As he went to the ground and approached the point of whether or not he touched the fog, a figure appeared from the fog.

A man in court dress, dressed somewhere in military uniform, with a design very similar to that worn by the Count of De Havilland. She looks very beautiful.

If you look closely, it's not just the clothes that are similar. I think my face is somewhat shadowy.

Definitely his associate.

The man greeted Rare gracefully.

"─ ─ Welcome. I know you are famous for your presence, but how did you come to my lord's castle today?"

Rare raised the hood of the robe and replied with a comedy laugh.

"Thank you for your welcome. My name is Rare the Demon King, and I am close to the Count of De Havilland in the Central Continent.

This time I had the opportunity to disturb our continent, so I wanted to say hello to my true ancestor, Geraldine ─ ─ "
