Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 173: The Followers

The second event, the White God Beast Pilgrimage, began quietly.

Previously, the Dawn's Invasion was hastily and massively inaugurated with a huge alarm, but this time it looked a little different.

Shortly before noon on the day of the event, we were surrounded by a round table on the ground floor of Shiraka-an.

"It's finally starting today. Mr. Reggie, you're going to be busy."

"Because there's a white moon? In that case, the management contacted me a little while ago and said that they would take some action."

We sat down deeply in the chair and prepared for each with a little tension and a huge sense of exhilaration.

Toka was fortified with materials that had gathered her sword to the brink, and Mikage has a new set of gear for the day.

Letty and the other three don't know what to say.

"This time, the theory of a boss rush is thick and my arm rings."

"My main skill, the Shield, and the Fight have reached level 80, so I can't lose without being a little slow."

That's what they said when they rolled up their sleeves, and it was just noon, and the windows automatically unfolded in front of each of us.

At the same time, announcements are made by artificial audio that you are accustomed to hearing.

"Thanks to the efforts of the Communications Surveillance Satellite Consortium Tsukuyomi and local investigators, many unidentified artificial structures have been discovered within Area -01 Third Region."

"Takamaga hara has determined that these are related to RoI: BSB and RoI: UC."

With this, Takamagahara will issue the Special Exploi Station Command; Spirit Courtesy of the Pilgrimage Beast to the field investigators, starting from the current time.

"The operation is an investigation of an unidentified artificial structure" Shrine ”that exists within Area 3-01."

"Remember that during the operation, emergency special measures will be limited and merchandise will be sold for half the price at the baseline store, but the standard reserve resources for Ground Vanguard Site Seed 01 - Susano and Ground Vanguard Site Seed 02 - Susano are limited."

Read the details displayed in the window while listening to the announcement that has been read out for a long time.

It seems that this event is not about to be a crisis for Susano or Wade, or like lifting restrictions on Respawn or closing a unique shop.

There is no instruction to gather in one place, and at this stage it is a daily routine and a continuation that is not different from usual.

"During the operation, the communications surveillance satellite group Tsukuyomi and the ground forward base Seed 01 - Susano, the ground forward base Seed 02 - Susano's satellite link vigilance network will carry out high-precision surface exploration activities at all times, and any information acquired will be transmitted via each computing system to the investigators'" Octagonal Mirror. "

The map shows the candidate and confirmation points of the “shrine”.

"I look forward to your good fight."

Is this what the operation was talking about, a measure?

Even if the White Moon does not find the “shrine”, the “shrine” candidate points will appear on the map and the information will be updated if the player actually confirms it.

"I don't know the number of shrines, but if I hadn't told you about the operation, I'd have to go around with the White Moon...?

"I feel sorry for Mr. Reggie for the boulder."

I really have to thank Astra for giving me an opinion on the operation.

"Well, it's the start of the event. Shall we go around?"

"That's right! Letty's hammer is still roaring today."

Rise up and carry the backpack.

Okay, I'm coming.

"Yes, yes. Try not to die."

We leave the White Deer Monastery while Kamil, who was slamming dust with patty, sees us off with a proper voice.

From the side of the new heavens and earth to the boulevard, there were noisy players running outside Wade.

"Should we get to this flow for now?"

That's right.

Dive into the crowd and look at the map displayed in the mirror.

Reduce the scale of the map overlooking Wade's townscape and expand the view beyond the town to the entire waterfall.

Seen dots of blue dots strike everywhere in the field.

When you look at the area that is gradually turning red from the point near the town, it is likely that the blue is the point where the "shrine” is determined to be red at the candidate point of the "shrine”.

"Some of you have already found the shrine."

"They must have been waiting in the field. I don't think there's a shrine in the whole town, and there's a mountain up there."

Tell Amy who's peeking into the map.

It seems that there were fights at the shrine, and it was unlikely that it would be in a town that, in principle, would not be a battle zone.

We didn't like being tangled with natives in the field and we were in town, but many players were hunting it and waiting for the event to start.

"How are the Wing Pact people doing by now?"

Toka looks up diagonally.

She used to face Luna and Tart when she was working with Mikage on the Horseback Hills investigation.

Just as they were fighting the prairie natives, Nirma's chariot blew it up.

"I'm working on each one separately. Astra goes to the Dragon Cliff with the Silver Wings, and Tart goes to a normal party with the Snow Bear Spirit Peak. Luna is alone in Horseback Hills."

"... all of you, the prince's followers?

I nodded at Mikage's point.

"The duration of the event was quite long, and we talked about looking into the fields where we first met each other."

I don't think about what happened after that.

Depending on the deployment, it was also possible to gather the four of the Wings Pact, but at that time, well, at that time.

"That's why we're walking around Armored Fish Falls today."

"Yes."

While listening to Letty and the others' cheerful replies, she walks through the gates that are open to Wade's walls.

From the moment I stepped out of it, I began a tense time of constant danger.

"So, which point do you want to go first?

Letty looks at the map and says.

In the meantime, the blue dots continued to change red, indicating that the “shrine” had been found smoothly.

"It depends on how White Moon feels. The suggested location on the map will sooner or later be reached by other players, and if there is a shrine that has not been discovered, I would like to go there...."

I glanced at the white moon under my feet.

As he moved towards Letty, he looked at the map she was spreading and thought of something.

White Moon, you're actually smart.

Toka says when she looks like that.

"Well, I'm much smarter than those protozoans. I understand some of the words."

Especially when you have a blue apple.

"Ah, you made it. Let's get there."

The white moon that was looking at the map lowered its neck and brought its nose closer to the ground.

Moving his nose to sniff something apart, he slowly stepped out into the forest.

"... you know, Reggie?"

Letty, who had been silent for a few minutes following a short tail shaking in the white moon, tended to shrink her voice and open her mouth.

"What's wrong?

"Is there something on it?

She said as she glanced back.

It seemed like other faces were feeling it, with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

"... well, it can't be helped."

Even though measures were taken from the operation just before the start, it was originally a mandatory event to guide the White Moon.

It's easy to see you're still heading to a point that's not on the map.

Then it would be wise to follow us and look for the undiscovered points.

--I feel like a pig searching for truffles.

Ha.

I pause and look back.

It seemed to be well hidden in the shadow of the gloomy and lush black forest, but I felt uncomfortable from the gap of the branches.

"In the meantime, could you come out? You can come another way, but it's honestly uncomfortable to be cooped up."

Speak to the void.

After a period of silence, a man in a black robe appeared from behind the trunk of a tree that was close to nothing.

After seeing him, a large number of people emerge from there, men and women, races and professions alike.

... I didn't expect you to be here.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were being noticed."

"No, I'm not. Letty and the others just noticed."

Really? You have such a good taste. "

The man looked at Letty and smiled slightly.

She turned away with a subtle expression.

"If you're going to arrive, you're going to have to arrive with dignity. You can tell the world what you want."

"Well, you won't get out when you find the shrine, will you?

That's the man who shrugs his shoulders.

I don't seem to feel bad either.

"Somehow, the moment we found the shrine, it seemed like a lot of people in the back were going to be messed up... Well, I don't care if you like the shrine they found."

"Are you sure?

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When I looked at Letty, they seemed to have no objection.

"Our goal is to find the shrine. After that, cook it as you like. Negotiate with the people in the back."

The man looked back at my words and jumped his shoulders slightly.

... probably a lot more people than I expected.

"In that case, let us walk with dignity.... you did something wrong."

"That's fine. --I think I already know, but for now. It's Ledge."

"It's Links. Roll is the Chaser.

I see, the tail is number 18.

"Was the Chaser a composite of walking, appraisal, and ninja? Increased mobility and reduced discovery rates from protozoa are abilities."

"You know very well. Exactly."

Links nodded at Lacto's words.

I feel it's troublesome to follow everywhere based on my skills and abilities.

"... by the way, how many Chasers are in here?

With a lot of curiosity, he questions the players behind Lynx.

About 30% of the total immediately raised their hands.

"Less than I thought?

"... with Ninjutsu skills, you can hide quite a bit."

Mikage tells me and I'm convinced.

It seems that it is possible to follow up without getting a role and not being noticed to some extent.

All right, let's start over.

"Uu... I don't like it..."

I prompt the white moon I was waiting for when the one who was hiding came out.

Letty didn't seem to feel very well and she arrived with her eyebrows raised.

Then we went deep into the waterfall forest, making it an unexpected big place.
