Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Episode 460 Northbound.

"You guys were really aware of it, right?"This church is the only building inhabited by the dead of gold. ”

Nil is talking about the soldiers.However, the words also reached the evacuated residents.

"Oh, we are soldiers protecting this city!"And here are the people to protect! ”

“No matter what we say, what we do doesn't change!”

“Yeah, I guess so. But do you really think we're going to attack the people we're evacuating here?”

Oh, you don't know that!

Tell you what, you're going to fool me!

"Do you really... think so?"

Behind Nil's words, if we are serious about killing the residents and the soldiers who defeated Amu and the players who were out there, you will know that there is no need to dare to swap words and cheat.It has the meaning of.

In fact, if I had intended to do so, I would have killed him in vain.

"W-Well, that's..."

The soldiers would have wondered if we weren't daring to attack.Hearing Nil's words, he clogs up his own.

Even though they are good soldiers and have no relationship with Fjorde more than necessary, there are a few verses that seem to be that this church is not an ordinary church after hearing Nil's words.

The good soldiers and the inhabitants who stayed behind, were told that they were villains, and we came in, and just threw a few words at them to make them stop.That's because this church has done so much.

And once the disbelievers look at the church with such eyes.

There are many strange things in this church and in the priest's eyes.Now, the soldiers and residents will see what they weren't about to see and feel that Nil's words are true.

So what are the actions of the disbelievers?

Fulbocco the priests? I wouldn't do that to a boulder.

Even if mistrust grows, I can't be sure with information that lacks certainty.You suddenly fooled me in that situation!I will not be beaten.

Why don't you try to protect the clergy, even if we attacked them? It's impossible.

No matter how much mistrust grows, the soldiers will protect the clergy beyond the task of protecting them.That's my job, and as soldiers, I can't conclude that the clergy are scum without solid evidence.

Then what is the difference?

The soldiers and the inhabitants will not listen to the priests.

To be precise, I doubt and listen to words rather than not listen to them.That's exactly what Nil was after.

"Kill me! You're here to protect us!"

Hurry up!

The priests, who did not realize that Nil was a manipulator of people's hearts, came out one after another.The more they open their mouths, the less the priests realize that they're strangling themselves.In the face of death, you're not smart enough to work.

"But, but..."

"Yes! But there is nothing!You're dealing with a villain! We have justice! "

The human mind is very complicated and very difficult to grasp.

Sometimes it is good to simply say "katsu" from above, and sometimes it is not.Sometimes it is good to speak gently, and sometimes it is not.

Sometimes it changes a lot.

For example, since I lost my parents, there have been people saying pathetically...However, such words never reached my heart.

That's because they don't think so from the bottom of their hearts.That's what he thinks!I might want to say, but at the time of using the word "pathetic", it is like saying that it is other personnel.Those words can't reach me who just lost my parents.

It's the same since I started working and walking as a social worker.No, as a social worker, would it be better to say that it will be worse?

People exchange words only at the top, and continue to talk only to make money.Some of them might have been different, but people decide on their actions on the basis of loss, and they only take the time to make a profit.

It is an adult and a social person.If you say so, you're right.I work to make money, and if I keep talking about unprofitable things, the company will go bankrupt immediately.

I don't think that's a bad thing.Nightingale, that world, that place deserves to be called competent.But for me, that world was so… colorless.

I have no parents, no friends, and I don't know what I'm living for.Whether you earn money or live a life, there is nothing you want to accomplish or protect, you just eat up your time and work every day.I didn't deserve to be alive.

It was Nil who made my colorless heart reach for words like that.

At that time, I think the words in that place resounded because of that place.

Originally, Nil had been a slave for a long time, and she was sensitive to human emotional movements.That said, it was the sensitivity of cowardice, but it didn't change the sensitivity.

However, she was good at reading the other person's emotional movements, but she was ignorant about how to handle them.

With the addition of the power of Ranka, who taught on Ouca Island, Nil's curiosity was mastery.

Lanca is blind, so she was a genius who could read and manipulate people's minds even if she called herself Esper at the earliest.I interpreted the technology as Nil and made it my own.

Nil praises me, but from my point of view, I think Nil is much better.I mean... some kind of genius.You can do most things, and you can do what you can't do with effort and enthusiasm.Of course, there are some things you can't do, but I think it's an extra talent to make up for it.

Nil is seriously trying to crush the clergy.Even if the priests hadn't dug the grave, they wouldn't have been able to escape Nil's words.

………………

Soldiers who couldn't move because they didn't know what to do with the words of the priests.

If the distrust we have is real, can we hear what these priests have to say?Is there really nothing left to kill in this sacred place called the church?That's what's going on in your head.

“What are you doing! Hurry up!"

"Do your job!"

The priests have already given priority to protecting their lives without considering their positions.

While doing so, the slimes that disappeared in the back came back.

One of them has some kind of bundle of paper.

I blindfolded myself, received it, and understood everything through a light glance at the content.

It was handed over to Oshiage's books.

It tells us who gave it to the priests and how much it cost.

Simply put, it's definite evidence that the clergy are scum.

And if you dare to bring this bunch of paper, it means that Fjorde is not here.If there is a fjorde, we can talk about the priests and the soldiers later.

Nil.

Was this place a mess...

A total of four players were standing by, so I was speculating if they were protecting something special, but I wonder if they missed the point......

In the first place, I don't know how many players are joining the opponent, and if there were four people used as a decoy in a place where there is nothing... maybe a lot more players are coming here than expected.

Maybe you're out of the Holy Knights on a clan basis and working with Hunters Lalabah?

I'm scared just thinking about it, but... it might not be an impossible conversation.

But for now, getting out of here is a priority before you even think about it.There's no Fjorde here, so we should pull him up.

"... I'll pull you up."

Yes.

Nil, who reacted to my voice, receives a bunch of paper that I handed over.

You can pull it up like this, but it was definitely the clergymen in front of you who locked Amu up.Once Nil was angry, it would be easier for her to escape.

Still screaming priests, soldiers and residents who see it in disbelief.

Nil's clear voice cracked into such a sloppy space.

“We're not going to touch the good soldiers or the people.”

With that said, Nil had the little tantrum she was holding in her scabbard.

A sword in front of an enemy is tantamount to suicide.Well, in the case of Nil and I, even if they attacked us here, we can deal with them, so there's no scope for that, but it's important now to see how they look like.

As Nil moves, so do I.

"Yes, now! Kill me! Hurry up!"

If the soldiers are good, they will find it vile to slay us with weapons.

Come on, capture me!

The captain of the soldiers shouts.

“What are you talking about! Kill me! Kill me!"

Whether to follow the words of the captain or those of the clergy, the lost soldiers look around and see what they do to each other.

In such an air, Nil moves.

The soldiers pointed their swords at Nil, who stepped forward one by one.

But Nil walked majestically to the soldiers.

I have done nothing wrong.I didn't do anything to get caught.and attitudes.

You're the captain, aren't you?

"Well... what do you mean?!"

"... this."

Nil held a bundle of paper in his hand before the captain's eyes.

……………

The captain was lost as to whether he approached Nil, but he slowly approached Nil holding his sword.

Captain?!

It's dangerous!

My men try to stop the captain's actions, but they don't move.

* Squeak *

And the captain receives a bunch of paper from Nil's hand.

Of course, Nil wouldn't attack.

“If you look at it, you'll know if our words are true.

If you're a captain with good sense, you know what to do, right?

I expect wise decisions. ”

When Nil said that, she turned her back and came back to me while removing the hair from her hair.

Nil seemed already convinced of the opposing captain's decision.

Totally... my Nil-san is really good.

"This is...... Hey! Capture those people!"

Behind Nil turned his back, the captain turned his attention to the priests with his words.

"Huh?! Captain?!"

"What, what do you mean?!" Are you holding us captive?! "

“Evidence that the Church was taking unfair money and manipulating public opinion!In addition, we have evidence from the residents that they were unfairly exploiting the money! ”

"Well, why is it here?!"

I don't know what will happen after that... the clergy in this church... no, the clergy in this city will never receive the trust of the residents again.

Nonetheless, if we don't do something about Fjorde in the end, it won't be a radical solution.

If we fail, Ami Motogi.In order not to do so, we must definitely conclude this matter with success.

Me and Nil try to get out of the door that came in.

Soldiers don't try to catch us like that.

Captain, are you sure?

"... yeah. Think of what that slave woman meant when she said she wouldn't touch the good guys."

We're not out of control.Don't give me a bad hand.If you don't want to die. ”

Apparently, the Captain is a good soldier who knows exactly what's going on.

If you're good, neither Nil nor I will help you.I will deal with it in a way that will keep me away from the damage.

But if they become enemies, I will not forgive them.If you're going to be a ringleader for people like the clergy.....

The captain, who received the exact meaning, knew exactly where we were and where the clergy were to protect the inhabitants and their men, and the justice they believed in.

With that kind of judgment, Nil, who was sure before the Captain gave his instructions, was even more incredible...

Leave that and we'll go up the bell tower again.

I was in a hurry and didn't look closely, but from the top of the bell tower, I could see the Southwest area well.

From here, it would be ideal to shoot arrows, but when asked if I could see into the details 200 meters away, I couldn't stand the boulders.No matter how good your vision is, it's physically impossible.

Maybe Amu was using a magic tool or something.

It looked like he was piercing, like a magic tool that could see far vision.

"Master."

Nil calls out to me as I look out over the city.

It seems that Master Suratan is trying to convey something.

Looking down at Nil's words, I saw a slatted figure with large waves of both hands.He looks anxious.

Me and Nil go down the bell tower and rush to Slatan.

Shinya-kun! This is it!

That's why Surakitan handed me a bottle with twin slimes.

"... are you moving?!"

The Twin Slimes show us a different direction than the waterways we separated from Heine and Pilte. More to the north.

"Something happened!"I have to go now! "

When I talk about Heine and Piltee, Sura Tan comes off Taga.I'm in a hurry to make a fuss.

"Wait. Of course I'm going, but I'm sure the two of you are safe."

"How do you know?! It's strange to move without saying anything!"

"Look closely at the Twin Slimes' reaction.At a certain speed, you'll be heading straight north. ”

"Proof that you're running away from something?!"

"If you two are running away, you won't go straight north."If you turn right or left, you should move to wind up your pursuer.Of course, it is impossible to move north at a certain speed. "

“So you're not in the situation of being chased?”

“Maybe not. I think he's trying to tell us about it by moving at a certain speed.”

"But I don't think Suratan is going to leave without telling us anything...?"

“You got some information, but you didn't have time to wait for us, did you?”

“You've got some very urgent information, haven't you?Then I'm satisfied. ”

"But... that's just a guess, isn't it?"

"Yeah, but if that guess is true, we have to think about what we're doing.It may not be enough to simply try to rendezvous. ”

Not enough?

"You want us to do something."

Is that what you know while you're here?

"I don't know just by staying here.However, it might be a bad idea to try to be honest. ”

"... if we just try to rendezvous, will Heine-san and Pilte-san be driven into a dangerous situation...?"

“That's a possibility.”

"...... I wonder if I can use my feet to go and make sure the two of you are okay?"

"The fact that the two of you started without saying anything to us should be very important information.Then it would be directly related to Fjorde, Rox, Player... or Black Dog.And it was a matter of great urgency.In that case, it is likely that the opponent will gather quite a few people.

If there are people at all levels who can deal with the speed of Surakutan..... "

I can't...

"In order to receive Heine and Pilte's thoughts accurately, let's carefully aim for the rendezvous."

Concentrate on slime manipulation. ”

“I got it.”

"Nil. Choose as many unobtrusive routes as you can."However, I want to move as quickly as possible, giving priority to heading north. "

Is that an acceptable level of combat?

"Yeah. If the three of you stay here, we'll be done with this soon."

Got it.

With Nil in the lead, we head north based on Twin Slimes' reaction.

“From here on, it's a district that's not on my map.”

I see...

We set foot in a neighborhood on the north side of the city.

There should be a temple here, one of the places where Fjorde would be.

How did Heine and Pilate react?

"You're heading northeast from here... no.Wait. Looks like they stopped responding.

Probably around the north side of the city. ”

"That means there's something there."

There are no expensive buildings around here, so let's proceed with caution.The enemy soldiers are increasing, so stay calm. "

Yes.

Yeah.

More soldiers are patrolling the city.

They didn't send anyone here after all the commotion in the Southwest.As a result, it is much more likely that there will be Fjorde and Rox on the north side.

I avoided fighting as much as I could, but I couldn't dodge the soldiers several times, so I fought.However, there is no hand or player, and we are well on our way to the north.

Is that what the temple is about?

"Well... I guess so."

"It's bigger than ever..."

North side district of the city. One of the biggest buildings in the world.That was the temple.

Even from quite a distance, it feels like it's big enough to understand its size.It's so different in size from the houses around it that it's crazy to be far away.

Three times the height of the houses is a pure white stone temple.The temple walls are carved and decorated with patterns and stone statues.The color is white, but I can't imagine how much money it was made with.

The temple itself was quite big, but the grounds were huge.

I can't see it from a distance, but it's wide enough that I don't know how long to walk from when I get to the temple.
