＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Gozmaize Bandits, and the day after the Hellish Day of Fighting [Grieving Cow Horse Gozmaize].

Running through the Nex Plains in silver with Nemesis before dawn and talking about the future, I was hunting the monsters around me as they were.

My level at the stage of defeating [Gozmaize] was 39, but I went up one in the hunt to 40. HP is finally reaching five thousand as well.

I feel that thanks to silver, the speed of travel has increased and the efficiency has improved.

In particular, it was most efficient to emit Purgatory Fire unequivocally against the monster population.

"Red and black on horses flames away instead of greetings... whatever the schematics think they were villains."

"... I know"

But it seems easier to level up defeating a bunch of regular monsters than struggling to defeat a boss monster...... well, okay.

Well, the level's up, so let's cut up the hunt and run a test.

This is a test of Silver and [Purple Grievance Armor Gozmaize].

[Purple Grievance A] 's performance was confirmed yesterday, and energy recovery through "Grievance Conversion" is functioning without anything.

I noticed in the middle of using it, but apparently the negative emotions that the monster emitted in the air within his life, even if it wasn't resentment after he died, have also been recovered as a trace but resentment.

I mean, if you can replenish as many MPs and SPs as you want while you're tormenting your opponent alive... it might be useful, but I'm scared and pulling it off.

As of yesterday, it has been confirmed that [Purple Grievance Gone A] 's other "Horse Riding" skills will allow him to "Horse Ride" and run on silver.

So now it's a confirmation of Silver's skills.

Silver's skills are as follows:

Equipment Skills

"Driving"

· "Wind Hoops"

"Unreleased Skills

Driving is a skill to read and run people like letters.

They say the higher the skill level of "Horseback Riding" for anything, the faster it is and the more skillfully it can run.

"Ha? Doesn't it make any difference to Silver's own specs whether my level of" Horseback Riding "is high or low?" and I ran it through my head to try it out.

"Hi yo! Silver!"

Speaking of results, it was shaken down around a speed exceeding one hundred and fifty kilometres per hour.

"I see, this is what happens," I was desperately recovering my reduced HP with as many as a hundred and fifty kilometers of fast, falling shock.

If it was a bad hit, I think it would have died. Good thing HP is over 5,000.

I felt painful, but I found out about Driving.

Next up is another skill, Windshoe.

Windshoe:

Can be used if the passenger holds "Horseback Riding" Lv3 or higher or "Riding" Lv6 or higher.

Allow air travel by kicking compressed air.

A wall of compressed air is also deployed by pouring in the passenger's MP.

Two conditions are written: "Horseback riding" and "Riding".

By the way, "Horseback Riding" is horse only, but for that matter it excels at how horses are handled, and "Riding" seems to be distinguished in such a way that other rides are OK but require extra levels.

Its Horseback Riding, but yesterday's return from the Mountain Zone and the fact that it has been running since before dawn today, brought my previous Horseback Riding to Level 2.

Including the positive 1 rise in "Horse and Human Being", this skill is Level 3, which makes it possible to use this "Wind Hood" skill.

I tried it... it flew.

No, it's more of a form of running there making invisible scaffolding in the air than flying.

"Ooh..."

"It's stunning."

I'm impressed with the feeling that I can't taste first in real life.

But at the same time, I feel anxiety and fear like I'm running on a glass floor with a horse.

Still, if you let it run for an hour, you'll get used to it.

Fortunately, it seems that Silver bribes himself for his ability to run this sky, and my MP is not consumed.

On the other hand, there are ways to use my MP-consuming skills.

That's a wall of compressed air.

As you can see in the skill description, you can use this to create a wall of air to protect yourself from attacks.

I had [Goblin Archer] under my eyes in good time, so I'll see how much I can prevent it.

"Shoot it!

Speaking of results, he pierced me and stabbed me.

He hastily burned the [goblin archer] under his eyes in Purgatory Fire.

But I think it's terrible to use flamethrowing from the sky.

[Goblin Archer] was also responding with bows and arrows, but the arrows were burning out along the way.

After overcoming an unexpected predicament, consider what is happening now.

The problem is the weakness of the "wind hoof" barrier.

I wondered why - how much anything was too weak - but on second thought, it was natural.

The amount of MP poured was low.

They didn't originally have a lot of MP, so it got on my back.

Now I'm going to pour in all the remaining MPs (...).

The next experimental opponent is [Goblin Warrior].

"Call me!

Speaking of results, it was torn with a light axe.

I wondered if there was anything somewhat wally, but it was lightly torn with the sound of a basin.

I was finally about to get my head cracked. I was supposed to do a melee with [Goblin Warrior].

It was a little dangerous because it was a battle without all the MPs, although we won.

"No, you can't."

You can't do that.

Silver Skills, Wind Hoops.

Regardless of who runs through the sky, my MP quantity doesn't seem to make effective use of the wall.

"It doesn't feel efficient, either."

I thought so, too.

An MVP perk, [Gardranda] can exercise powerful skills such as Purgatory Fire and Hellfire with fewer MPs.

Again, one MVP perk out of my head......

"Ah."

So I came up with one.

Maybe this combination can do it.

◇

Speaking of results, the prospectus was successful.

It never broke like it did earlier.

If I insist, there would be a little unexpected (...) and my whole body would be muddy.

And one more thing.

"... you'll never be able to use it all over the city"

"I didn't wait for the nomination."

Me and Nemesis have just decided to seal the way we operate for a while.

◇

By the time I had finished the test and was able to confirm my coarse movements, the sun was rising, so I went back to the city.

We went back to the inn and dropped the mud in the shower before heading to Gideon's Knights Stuff.

Because yesterday Liliana was telling me, "I want you to report to the Knights Stuff about the Ghozmaids Bandit Crusade".

I decided to go first thing in the morning thinking it would be better as soon as possible.

When I went to the Knights' Stuff in the most streets of Gideon, some [Knights] seemed to run around busily.

This is what happens when you seem to be about five times busy preparing for a high school school festival.

He seemed to have some sort of monster, and he seemed to be struggling with that preparation.

Go through the aisle, which is open so as not to interfere with their work, and from Liliana to the secretariat that they had heard beforehand.

But along the way,

"Ah."

"Mm?"

I'm a knight with a white armor on my face - but I just ran into someone Liliana called Sir Lindos.

You remember this one over there, too, stopping and looking at this one.

"Hello"

…………

I tried to say hello, but there was no response.

Well, he seems like someone who doesn't have good feelings for < master >, so he can't even do it.

I didn't really care, but I thought I'd head to the office.

"I hear you defeated those Gozmaids Bandits."

That's what Sir Lindos called me.

"Yes, not just with me, but with my people."

…………

When I respond that way, Sir Lindos meditates silently,

"... thank you"

Just tell me that word, and I'm gone.

……

I wonder what it was?

"I guess I just wanted to say thank you."

"But why that guy?

"Well, of"

I walked out to the office again, wondering.

◇

Gideon's Knights' Stuff is open to citizens for petitions, etc.

Of course, there are many areas where access is forbidden for reasons of confidentiality, but the Secretariat is in an open part.

There was also a directions guide, so I didn't get lost and went to the office. I told him what the matter was and proceeded.

The Secretariat proceedings talked about merit, but I do not remember it very well.

I just looked at the paperwork and repeated "sign if you like" a few times.

I read it and signed most of the paperwork because it didn't seem particularly problematic.

But just one thing...... I didn't sign on to 'The Right to Acquisition of Treasures Taken by the Gods Mays Bandits'.

Regardless, I'm in trouble with the money.

I no longer need to buy [Amulet of the Horse-riding Nation] for "Horse-riding" because I got [Purple Grievance A], but it doesn't change that I miss nostalgia.

But still, I don't feel like putting my hands on the money they got with their kids as food.

So all I told him about the money was "donate it to charity related to children".

The right to treasure should also be in Hugo, so it is heartbreaking that he has decided not to say no but arbitrarily.

Hugo also wrote in a letter that the reward was unnecessary, but still wanted to consult with him for a word before deciding.

If he is unhappy, give him the bounty that the Alliance will receive.

But I'm sure it won't.

Hugo and I have only acted together for a short time.

But even if Hugo and I were in the opposite position, we should make the same decision and make a choice.

Me and Hugo are very similar.

Likewise, except for Maiden's.

When I finished signing the paperwork, they said, "I may have some contact with you at a later date," so I told him that I was staying in Gideon as a contact.

That's how the process ended, and me and Nemesis tried to put the Knights stuffing behind us.

At that time, an official stood up and thanked me deeply.

That's what I said.

"Thank you for taking my son's revenge," he said.

◇

I didn't know what to say back to that official.

Migliane rescue, if ever appreciated, and when he protected Mr. Alejandro and the others from [Gardranda].

But the situation is different.

Those two times and this time, it's like something different.

There are two differences.

One is that I'm only present in the end.

I've only seen the end of a case involving the Gods Mays Bandits.

The end of the tragedy that befell them and the end that me and Hugo did to themselves.

The people who live in this city also have a process, and I guess they've suffered a lot from it.

Or perhaps the knights of this country were also suffering from the fact that they could not get their hands on it, and the words of Sir Lindos earlier were also from those reasons.

But I didn't know anything about the process myself.

Another difference...... I wasn't thanked for the help this time.

They just took revenge and thanked me.

The tragedy had already happened, and many of the children caught by the Gozmaids Bandits were already dead.

The boy we took as a favor was helped, and some others were.

But the undead I baked in that basement would have been ten times that.

Too many children didn't come home.

Given its meaning, the chest is tightened.

I'm sure I myself feel lumped by what was lost in that case that was over at that point and I couldn't help myself.

I haven't been able to forgive what couldn't be done.

I want to do something about it.

But for that...

"What am I supposed to do?

"... I don't care if you ask me."

I asked Nemesis, but the answer was a bitter laugh.

"I know Ray is seriously troubled, but there's not much I can say to the Lord right now. If you insist, you can also leave it to the protagonist of the loop to regret the tragedy of the past as' couldn't you do something about it ', etc. The Lord's troubled subjects are only meant for what is about to happen. The Lord is one person who cannot be a loop, because he is my master."

"Coming up..."

"In the end, it's the same as before. Occasionally I get into a case and if I think leaving it tastes bad, I intervene to help. I'm sure the Lord will repeat it."

... When I think about it, I feel like I've been doing the same since I got into Infinite Dendrogram.

That's what I've been doing since I was a kid.

"... I'm starting to think of myself as a terribly situated person"

You mean unplanned, or you stick your neck in trouble yourself while being flushed?

I don't notice it on the spot, but looking back, it looks like I'm going to hit the trouble I stopped by.

When I said that, Nemesis laughed.

"There are a few things I like about you, but one of them is that."

"That?"

"I'm just not running away to help someone."

"Does that mean a swine rush?

"It means they won't hide their courage even if they're mighty. I think I look good."

…………

That... I don't know... I can illuminate.

"Nevertheless, it is desirable for the Lord to be stronger than the enemy in distress, even if he always stands up to them. If you want to do something about it, the first thing you need to do is increase your local power."

"Local power, huh?"

I think I'm stronger than I was first... but I'm still weak.

Even though there are trump cards such as Revenge Is On Me, Reverse Is Like a Flying Flag, and MVP benefits, all previous battles against powerful enemies have only been won luckily.

That PK, Super Killer, is killing me lightly.

"It's not limited to levels, statuses, or items. But if you're talking about getting stronger, you have better people than to talk to me. See, there are more experienced people over there than we are. Sooner or later, let me give you some advice to get revenge on."

That's how Nemesis points to the end of the road.

There was a café designated as the meeting point, and Marie was waving at us on the open terrace of the store, a woman who looked familiar in a suit and sunglasses.
