And the party that entered the lodge, or the nine-tier guild-home, once went toward the royal castle which the quest had shown.

"Hey, hey, Sally, that's it, right?"

"It should fit with the boulder."

From the guild home, the eight aspired to a large white and beautiful castle in the distance.

There is a wide road that leads to it, and other players, as well as a lot of NPCs, are walking along it, and it's probably the busy main street.

"The town itself is quite spacious. I thought the four layers were big.

"It's more than that here." It's going to take me a long time just to take a look around the town. "

While climbing the stairs leading to the castle, the eight of them look at the castle town that extends under their eyes. The township stretching to the side of the high outer wall and several boulevards were confirmed. If you walk around, you'll find a variety of shops all over this town.

There seems to be one more thing, so it's probably twice as far as I can go.

As Sally said, the opposite area also looked like a town. If it is contrasted, it will be similar in size and structure.

"Oh... we need to work together and look around!"

The field is vast, but the size of the town on which it is based is likely to be unprecedented. Field exploration is also important, but I can see that tips and quest triggers are rolling around the town.

This time, I'll be in charge of the town

"This time, too. I wonder."

Ahahah, that's right.

If you're wide enough, you won't get bored except in battle.

And as they were speaking, the eight that had gone up the stairs came to the front of the castle which was in sight in the distance. From the open gate, you can see the path leading to the building, and on either side of it you can see a well-kept garden.

In front of the gate, a soldier-like NPC stood on both sides, just like when they entered the town, and the Maples spoke as they approached.

"Are you a traveler? It's an interesting time."

Is there something there, Sally?

"Do you know what time it is? What kind of event is that?"

"I'll show you. Follow me."

The soldier then led the way into the castle. There was nothing else to follow, and the Maples walked after the soldiers ahead.

The castle seemed to have been built all the way inside, and a number of passages stretched from the entrance immediately after entering, with beautiful decorations ranging from walls and floors to the ceiling.

I wonder if I can walk down the other corridor as well?

"Depending on the progress of the quest, isn't it?" I don't think there's anything I can do to make it and not put it in. "

Walking down the hallway, up the stairs, Maple looked around unusually, and the leading soldier stopped in front of a large door.

"Up ahead, you can come in."

The soldier briefly opened the door with his hand, and the Maples finally knew what was going on inside.

The room stretches long and long with the boss's room nicely, and the soldiers who seem to be stronger are lined up on both sides. At the deepest point was an elderly man sitting on the throne, wearing a crown and a white beard.

Is he the king?

"Isn't that what it feels like to see it? I think it's okay to let it through so easily....."

When Maple and Sally were secretly talking, the king called out to them.

"I'm a traveler." It was a good time. "

"Sally, I think there's something here."

Yeah. Let's hear it.

"In the near future, a festival will be held with neighboring countries for about a year. It is possible for travelers to participate.”

I see.

Is that the event? Ah, the quest has progressed, too. "

As Sally said, the quest that was automatically ordered when you entered this country progressed one step, and it became [Decide Faction].

Maple also understood that this quest appears to be time-limited and would mark the start of the event.

"When we entered the country, we were bathed in light, and now it is our camp.... naturally, I'm not reluctant to change it. That's the deal."

In the same way, if we go to the other side of the country, the camp will be renewed with light. It is also communicated that if they do not belong to either of them, they will be assigned to either faction. On top of that, I was free to take part in the battle.

"This is to show strength." Every year, there was no need to worry about life, and it was a castle attack in a replica of reality manifested by sorcery. If you belong to my country, you can count on that power. "

In the end, the next event will be aimed at dropping the castle in the deepest part of each other's country with the same location as this field as the event field.

With the ability to leverage terrain, covert infiltration, and massive frontal breakthroughs, the strategy is wide-ranging.

However, unlike previous guild confrontations, its scale has swelled many times. It would also be difficult to take command over the members of the guild. Working together is not as easy as it sounds.

Although I still don't know the detailed rules, the battle format and final objectives are now clear. Players who do not belong to either faction are likely to include those who do not come from the Nine Tiers, and players who have already arrived will be able to prepare with detailed information on terrain and equipment.

“Come if you need anything. I won't refuse anything that comes."

The king said that, and the soldier who led the eight men led the maples out of the room again.

Then, as they left the room, the soldiers turned forward and uttered their words.

"As far as I'm concerned, I suggest you join me." The king of the country across the street is also powerful, but our king is even stronger. He won't feel it until he sees it. "

It was natural to say the top of my country, but even if I subtracted it, the words were true. With this mouth, I would fight the king when I attacked the castle.

"The king is strong..."

"Grandpa can be pretty strong in games." I don't know the style of the battle, and I won't know until I actually try it this time. "

"That's what it is."

Maple nodded to Sally's commentary. As each of them spoke their thoughts, the Maples returned to the entrance.

"We are also preparing for battle." If you leave the castle and look down on the town, you should see a large building that stands out in front of you. If you're going to help, you should go there. There must be as many requests as there are. ”

Yes!

In that case, you'll be the next one.

“Yes, it looks like the quest is moving on.”

“If it means as much as you want, it's probably going to branch off from there.”

It looks like the NPC will join the fight, so if we take the other side in the future, will we strengthen the enemy faction?

It's possible, but I don't want to see that request first.

"I hope there are some things that are easy to do..."

"Neither I nor Onee-chan have been given many quests."

"Well, I don't think that's a problem." It was prepared as a nine-layer mainstay. It's not like you can't move forward at all. "

Yes!

"I'll try my best...!"

It is possible that Mai and Yui, who are not very good at it, will not be able to clear what is presented as a quest. You can destroy as many monsters as you like, but you can't ask for any other stats.

Well then, let's go first!

“Besides that, there will be plenty of other events besides this main quest.”

The castle town is large, and the field is even bigger. Thinking about the layers so far, there must be some hidden events somewhere.

That's right! It's not just about quests!

"Fufu, I hope you can find a lot of interesting things."

Yeah! The building… I wonder?

Maple points to a magnificent building that's bigger and taller than its surroundings, even from a distance.

"Looks like you've got a destination in your quest, so I'm sure of it."

"All right, hurry up, Sally!"

"Yes, yes, don't fall."

Then the Maples quickly descended the long staircase towards the building.
