Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Giggle, giggle, giggle!

When a large amount of water hits the top of the shield, it falls into a torrent towards 360 degrees. Of course, a lot of water is coming right in front of us.

Za, za, za, za, za, za!

UAAAAAA!

Giaaaaaaaa!

Beyond the stone walls we built, you can hear the screams of enemy soldiers. And it soon disappears under the wall.

On the other hand, we built stone walls on both sides, and the wind barrier created by Piltee on the front. Although some water splashes come, they are not pushed away by the water.

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

After a short time, a low sound of water passing through sounds, the effect of the flushing water flow is terminated, and all the water flows downward.

If the magic that Pilte had prepared was not wind magic, but wood or earth magic, it would undoubtedly have been destroyed by the force of water, and we would have fallen down together.

Water magic and fire magic are out of the question. Dark magic doesn't have enough power, and Pilate can't use light magic. In other words, the wind magic is the only thing that won't be destroyed while pushing back the flowing water.

”Wow... that's quite an egregious attack...”

The enemy soldiers, pushed out of the wall by a large amount of water, were turned upside down with the water to the ground from a height of ten meters. There is probably no one alive.

"It would be troublesome if there were people on the wall to get inside."

When you enter the cylindrical interior, if there are people remaining on the wall, you can shoot arrows and magic from above the entire perimeter.

It was impossible to keep dealing with the arrows and magic falling from above on the boulder, and the people on the wall needed to be dealt with. I don't think there's any more to it as a hand that destroys it all at once. Certainly, it was a merciless blow, and it killed dozens of people... what a terrible thing. I will not deny it. However, I could see that it would be hard for me later, and I couldn't afford to take it easy.

This is the end, isn't it?

Heine changes the subject.

As usual, the branches of the trees in the shield stretched indiscriminately, so I couldn't ask how they were doing.

“I see. I don't see anything else around, and I'm pretty sure this is one of their strongholds...”

"There's a good chance it's a trap, too."

The only reason to dare to create such a prominent building is for defense. However, considering the total number of people outside and above the wall, there was not enough to call them strong enemies. If this were the main force, they would have stopped us from getting inside or moving over the wall. The people out there were definitely trying to stop us from doing anything, but they didn't have the image of a total battle.

It is certainly a high probability of a trap. It was expensive... but it was dangerous to blast magic without knowing what was inside.

The deployed shield itself was magic after all, so it wouldn't be difficult to break it. However, depending on what's going on inside the shield, the way we deal with it will change a lot.

Even if it's a trap, we don't know what kind of trap it is, so if you use magic without darkness, you could use it to drive us into trouble.

For example, if you put fire magic inside and try to burn it all down, the inside is filled with flammable gas and a big explosion... what a trap. Besides, I'm still not 100% sure it's definitely a trap.

We will have to start by checking the situation firmly.

First of all, the shield itself.

I had to destroy the shields first, not just on the horns.

First, I use my appraisal magic on the shield.

Until now, there has been almost no situation where appraisal magic is used for magic itself, but appraisal is possible even for magic.

However, there is no time for appraisal during the battle, and the magic used during the battle is all you can immediately see what the effect is, and since you don't need appraisal magic, you will almost never use it. Because you have to focus on avoiding rather than doing that.

However, apart from the trap system magic, even if you use appraisal magic, you can't spot the trap system magic alone. My guess is that the magic contains something of a concealment system, but I don't know the details. Well, originally, it was a game called Van der Ju, and if you can see everything with appraisal magic, I think that there are some subjects that cannot be appraised because the stone is too cheated.

Back to the story... the result of the appraisal magic against the shield...

[Holy Shield (Magic Tool)]... Holy Shield, a medium light magic generated by magic tools. Prevents physical and magical attacks.]

Apparently, it looks like a normal Holy Shield.

"When you say holy shield, it's the same thing as the light magic that can be used by Cynthia." It was definitely an intermediate magic, wasn't it? "

"Ah. With such magic, and magic with magic tools, it would be easy to destroy." The problem is that it's in a state. ”

It may be filled with flammable gas, it may be in a vacuum, it may be in a pressurized state... Anyway, it may be dangerous to just destroy the shield.

"That said, I can't just sit here..."

Conkon!

I try tapping the shield lightly with my bent index finger, but it's a normal holly shield.

It's scary to destroy it in front of a boulder, so let's destroy it at an appropriate distance.

"Master."

As soon as I've come to a conclusion, Nil hands me a stone spear. It seemed that Nil had prepared a stone spear with Earth Magic. Too much of a child to be able to do it.....

A little surprised, I receive a stone spear and look across the shield. Completely hemispherical, it will destroy from anywhere.

"Good. Just prepare defensive magic for now."

"Yes, we are already preparing it."

Pilte had the magic circle before he could draw it.

Hmm... I can't talk to the hamper if I have two kids who can...

Well then, let's go.

Confirming that the Pilates were ready to deploy their defensive magic, I threw Nil's stone spear at the center of the shield.

Bakkin!!

When the hemispherical shield hits near its vertex, a high-pitched sound resounds and the shield breaks. The moment I threw my stone spear, Pilté unleashed defensive magic, but nothing in particular seemed to happen after destroying the shield.

"...... I can't help but think that just destroying it will not mean that something will happen."

“Now, I'll try to destroy it.”

With that in mind, Nil pushed Zhanghua into the shield in front of her.

Pucker!

The tip enters the inside of the shield with a sound.

When Nilu pulled out Zhanhua, Slatan stopped near the hole he had opened.

"It doesn't smell strange, and I think it's okay. The plants that grow are just ordinary trees that grow everywhere.”

"When that happens, I'll be able to get inside."

Yeah.

Believing in Surakutan's judgment, we destroy the shield with a weapon and drill a hole to get through.

If you don't destroy the magic tool, the shield will regenerate again soon.

Yeah.

A shield-type magic device that protects such a certain place is used in surprisingly many places. If it is a very large city, it is a common substitute, but it may not be familiar to me or Suraitan.

Surat Than lived in the woods, and I lived a life where I traveled over and over again, and I'm not familiar with it, so I can say it's natural.

However, in addition to defending places like the city, some adventurers also use magic tools that are quite valuable. The way to use it is to create a barrier to protect the camp from monster raids during the camp. I decided on a campsite, set up magic tools around it, and deployed my shields.

However, this magic tool had some flaws. First of all, it is simple and tense.

Players don't have a problem with having an inventory, but for the rest of the world, that's not the case. Maybe it has nothing to do with one or two of the magic tools? As you might think, I had to carry at least three to four of these types of magic items around me to activate them. I couldn't sleep with peace of mind with my elementary magic, and if it became a magic tool that could activate intermediate magic, the entire magic stone formation would be complicated. In this world where travelling is fatal, carrying anything other than what is essential is close to a taboo. Even though it is not a shield that can place absolute trust, if you dare to carry it, it will lead to cutting something else that you have to carry, which will ultimately be a dangerous act. In that case, it is natural to think that it is better to set up a watch, and there are few people to carry it around.

In addition, the magic tools were simply high in value.

Even a small type that is used only to protect the tent will cost a lot of money. In other words, among adventurers, if you're not above B rank, you won't be able to do anything.

But here's another drawback... If you become an adventurer above rank B, you will fight a monster that is quite strong, and since you often go to the place where monsters live where the magic shields are useless, even if you use them, you won't be able to feel at ease. Many people don't have it, which is better if they don't.

For the same reason, it was one of the magic tools that was treated as a detachment by the player.

Incidentally, when I was in the game, I only used it once, before I could grasp the performance of the magic tool.

When solo players go on a long journey, they naturally camp, but they can't always look at the screen, and it was time to log out during the journey. When that happened, I was happy to use my defensive shields because I had nothing to worry about.

The monster you unloaded before you logged out was blown away with a single hit and you can't use it?! Since then, it has been certified as a detached magic tool among me.

Well, in my case, it's also because I went to a dangerous area that solo players would never go to...

However, for adventurers who are deeply rooted and active in the city, it is a very valuable object, and it is often used by those who are called "local adventurers".

Because of this, I didn't even know the detailed performance, but since it is a magic tool, it always absorbs magic power and activates magic, so if it is a shield type magic, even if the shield is destroyed, even if the magic stone formation is not broken, it seems to be a specification that it will be repaired after a certain time. I didn't know until I heard that from Granny Arten, a professional magic tool maker.

I think I can use it on a variety of things... but I'll stop thinking about it now.

Even if you're locked in, it won't be difficult to break it. Is it okay if you just leave it and head down?

"I see... I'd like to destroy one magic tool if I can... it's probably embedded in the wall, and it's going to take a while."

The hardness of the stone wall reinforced by the roots of the plant that you feel at your feet. It was unrealistic to quickly destroy it and find and destroy the magic tool embedded in it.

In the first place, there is not a single person here who can serve a purpose, so it may be possible to evacuate immediately, and there is no time to spend in strange places.

Let's go.

Either way, we need to find out where Barabanta is, or something close to him… or something about Puppet Minor. We need to find out who they are, and figure out where they are by taking them into custody or asking them out. For this reason, there is nothing to be done if you are hesitant. The one who doesn't get the tiger koji by entering the tiger hole.

We need to find out who these junior executives are and find out what they're talking about.

But before we go, let's take a look at it.

I first use appraisal magic because I am concerned about the state of the tree that is stretching out in front of me, and I am concerned about whether it is okay to touch it.

Incidentally, the name of this tree is Ashga, a tree that grows everywhere, and its appraisal results are...

[Ashiga... a common broad-leaved tree. It is a plant that closely resembles a toad tree, and its leaves bloom in small egg-shaped, yellow-green flowers. The fruit is lean (yes) and there is no danger at any stage.]

. In contrast, the results of my current assessment...

[Ashiga (altered)... trees with Ashiga altered. It has been modified to significantly exceed the original growth rate. There is no danger.]

"Alteration...?"

Is it some kind of dangerous plant?

"No. I don't think it's dangerous... no, I'll talk to you later and I'll be able to get inside."

It was a very disturbing sentence, but before the shields could be reconstituted, we broke inside.

I thoughtfully scratched the leaves of the plant in front of me and put my feet on the thick branches. You can hear the rustling of the leaves and the twisting of the branches.

Even if there is no danger in this growing plant itself, it is well thought out that it may be linked to some kind of trap, so we are taking great care. However, I was so vigilant that I didn't hear anything.

From the top of the wall, I can't see what's going on inside, and I can't have someone left to go around to cover me. If a few people are waiting and a large number of soldiers come, I'll be in trouble, so we all break into the inside. I was lost here, but even five people are a small number, so I decided that it would be better not to divide the number poorly.

That being said, the problem is how it looks under the tree. From where we are, the branches and leaves are in the way, and we still don't see the situation below.

"This tree doesn't grow from the wall, it grows from the ground...?"

Looks like it...

It is unusual to think that even though it is a tree that grows everywhere, it has a back length of more than ten meters. Although the ten-meter tree itself is not unusual, the growth rate becomes strange considering that it was planted when the base was established. I don't think they brought me 10 meters of trees... I guess the results of the appraisal magic are correct.

"Just now, when I used appraisal magic, there was a description of the altered plant."

"Alteration... I'm not sure, but maybe it's an example of a plant popping out of a human." Maybe you'll understand why. ”

Obviously, it looks like a strange tree. It would be natural to think in conjunction with the strange phenomenon of plants popping out of the body.

"Nevertheless... it's quiet..."

The words Heine mumbled were what everyone thought.

Outside, I fought so hard that there was still the sound of a sword in my ear, but as soon as I got inside, it was as if I were from another world.

Because it is protected by a holy shield, there is no wind blowing inside the wall and there is no noise of the leaves swaying. Only when we move our legs. [M]

I thought enemy soldiers would come in and surround me… What's going on…?

"... I can't believe it. Let's head down to see what's going on inside."

At my suggestion, everyone nods, passes the branches and goes down.

Little by little, the branches underneath are diminishing, and you can see the full extent of the tree. As expected by Suratan, the trees grow here are all grown from the ground, and the trunks and branches are unusually thick and long. The plants themselves don't seem to have any special changes, but they're big anyway.

"It's like the rich forest I lived in..."

As Suraitan's words indicated, the situation in the wall that was visible was like a forest with a rich variety of plants.

Gigantic trees line the walls, and leaves stretch to cover the sky above. Since it is not blocked near the central part, the sunlight comes in, but I get the impression that it is dim overall.

There are shallow grasses, trees, and plants near the ground that you have never seen before.

It's a completely different world...

"I don't think there's any sign of anyone... but is it okay if I go down...?"

"I'm confused, but... I can't see the enemy, and it's hard to fight on a tree." We can't stay here like this, let's go down and secure the scaffolding. "

"Then I'll ask my slimes to check the situation below."

I took out some bottles that were in the slack bag and operated the slimes that were inside.

The slime descends to the ground through the trunk of a tree, melting the surrounding plants and trees as it moves over the ground.

"For now, there don't seem to be any dangerous plants..."

We look at the sharp-edged slack, questioning ourselves.

"Apparently, the plants growing on the ground are different from normal plants."

Unlike normal plants... I wonder if it's a special plant?

“No, I think each plant is probably the same as the one that grows around it. But I don't know if I should say something's wrong...

It looks like a plant that's been altered somewhere, just like this abnormally large tree. ”

"What is the meaning of alteration?"

"Hmm... in this case, I think it's changing the cell level characteristics of the plant." I don't know if it's about genetic modification or something. "

……

It seems that Heine and Pilte could not understand the word genetic modification, and Suratan explained it roughly.

Incidentally, Nil seemed to understand most of the things.
