Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Lesson 591: A Baron's Disaster
Baron Carl is an adventurer.
An adventurer is not just a self-proclaimed adventurer, it's one of the best roles.
In the secondary role of the Explorer system, which requires the three skills of Swordsmanship, the roll ability (ability) is "If you are in a field with low survey progress, various stats will be enhanced."
Just by seeking that ability, he belonged to a group of players called the Strategy Group, and he also participated as an individual strategy group in the recent "White Boat Over the Waves".
Now, what treasure is sleeping?
Not long before the discovery of the first area of the Second Exploration Area (Honosawake Archipelago), the "Oshima Island of the Flower Monkey", he quickly landed on a ship operated by the Knights.
This field, which has low survey progression as the second reclamation area as a whole and as the "Oshima of the Flower Monkey", is the most powerful place for Baron Carl of the "Adventurer".
However, the more the Knights and other attackers proceeded, the more their abilities diminished.
This is the moment when he will be able to use his full power.
"Come on, let's enlist, Pavlov."
Baron Carl steps into the sky as the crew descend on the stretch of tarap from the ship.
He was followed by Pavlov, a rusty brown-furred dog with a sophisticated face, who lived in the [Wilderness of Rock Lizards].
He was a beloved dog who was able to implement his [training] skills at the same time, and since then, he has been a unique companion for torment.
Well, have you already established a base?
On the beach with the Knights' ships, there was a village of tents.
At the center of it stands a magnificent wooden building that is unlikely to be a tent.
Even though Baron Carl is the main player, he is only counted as the mastermind, and he knows who owns the museum.
[White Deer Anchor] is here, too.
Baron Carl turns around as most of the players who get off the ship are drawn into the Tent Village.
Thanks to the daily collection of information, including the indispensable bulletin board patrol, I knew that the seed 02-wadazumi, the marine resource gathering base for this field, floated offshore under the name that had been decided earlier.
"Look, Pavlov, this way."
Hurrying to Pavlov who doesn't like the sea water, he swims with Bashabasha to reach a plant offshore.
The Adventurer Gear that Baron Carl is wearing is compatible with the Explorer Gear series, which is a reward for the exclusive Explorer Assignment.
It's based on the khaki color that appears in the adventures of a long time ago, and the ease of movement is fully ensured.
Moreover, it is strong against water and does not get in the way when swimming.
"Wow!? What the hell!"
Suddenly, a huge wave strikes Baron Carl as he crawls over the sea.
The player in the boat looked down at him with a startled look.
"Hey, if you want to go to Mizuhanome, you should get on a liaison ship."
What, is there such a thing?
That's not true. You were guided out of the ship.
Baron Carl is grateful to be helped by players who are laughing.
Pavlov lowered his wetness, but as Baron Carl took out the snack bone cookies, he turned around and began to shake his tail.
"That's the Mizuhanome."
Oh, I just got there.
A liaison ship loaded with simple engines and augers on a wooden ship rattles as it proceeds.
A few minutes across the calm waters, Baron Carls captured the large planks floating offshore.
There are several white control terminals in the middle of the board, surrounded by players who seem to be in the game.
"You're still in the developing world, aren't you?" Your arms are ringing, aren't they? "
"Hahaha. That's comforting."
Ships are laid to the side of the Plant, and the players on board descend one after another.
When Baron Carl and Pavlov also stepped down, people began to board from the "Mizuhanome" to the "Oshima of the Flower Monkey".
"Thank you, Captain."
"It's okay." Sometimes there's someone like you who's in a hurry. I've been going back and forth between land and air for a while, so please get in again. "
When Baron Carl expresses his gratitude, the Captain starts moving the ship with a scratch on his nose.
He does not appear to be a Knightsman, but seems to be voluntarily operating a crossing.
Baron Carl's chest is filled with love and kindness.
"Well, Pavlov, let's go to the control terminal."
Take Pavlov, who sits under his feet, and join the line of control terminals.
Since the construction itself is still in progress, there is also a limit to the number of players that can be operated with a small number of control terminals at one time.
That said, if I said I could suffer in my spare time while I was in line, it wasn't.
Welcome to Pampakaparn! I am the manager here, Haru-chan!
Hmm. I heard you.
NPC Mizuhanome, the manager of the facility, speaks to each of the players who form the line.
While listening to the conversation between the player in front of him and Mizuhanome, Baron Carl responds to the girl calmly and calmly.
It's Baron Carl, the pioneer investigator. Thank you for your cooperation in the development of the survey. "
"I can't thank you enough." It was originally my life's responsibility.
Ha ha ha. Is that the same thing? Well then, if you have any problems, please feel free to talk to me. Nice to meet you!
With such exchanges of words and a bright laugh, Mizuhanome goes to another player.
Baron Carl is impressed that the new administrator is so friendly.
Since the establishment of Sisters, a restaurant where managers serve food in each city, it seems that Mizuhanome is trying to interact with players more closely than she has been able to interact with them.
"Old man, I'm free next time."
Hmm. Thank you.
The previous player calls out and Baron Carl heads to the control terminal.
There are several special assignments available for a limited time, but he only receives one order, the [New Reclaim Outpost Survey].
Hurry up and take Pavlov away from the queue.
Standing on the edge of the plant, a ferry just arrived on the way out.
Well then, let's do it.
Stepping on the sands of the [Oshima of Hanamono] on the ferry again, Baron Carl headed for the dense forest connected from the beach.
I already have items, gear, and everything I need to pack my backpack.
Pavlov, who was completely dry, stood up with his triangular ears pinned, motivated enough.
I have to go to a new place!
Pull out the saber hanging from the waist belt and step out forcefully.
Pavlov quickly began to move his nose to the unfamiliar smell as he overtook his master as he stepped into the thick greenery.
"Chase Hound" sensibly sees traces of prey and chases them to the ends of the earth.
In Pavlov's hometown, the Wilderness of Sand Lizards, players unfamiliar with their habits were constantly tormented by the phenomenon of being chased by a train - a swarm of native creatures.
Such a "chase hound" 's sensitive sense of smell, high level of tracking by hearing, ability to find enemies, and endurance are also useful to the investigators, and [Hunter] and others are well brought along.
"If there's anything weird, tell them right away." After that, I don't mind running away. "
Baron Carl grabbed his sword in the sheath and walked carefully, looking around him sharply.
Although he remains alert, he only has the type-humanoid ability to do so.
Pavlov was the first to notice anything unusual.
Something's coming!
At that time, Pavlov's ears started to move.
Carl, who did not miss the movement of his dog, quickly pulled out his sword and dropped his hip.
Pavlov roars low and sees a corner of the deep forest.
The thin trunk of the tree is disturbed, and the foliage and leaves are lush, so the view is poor and the view is not favorable.
However, a small sound was heard from behind it.
Pavlov, back off.
Baron Carl starts sowing a self-buff as he steals his fangs and steps out in front of his excited dog.
"The first battle in the New World. What kind of opponent is it? Whether the demon comes out or the snake comes out, it will rust my saber."
The noise gradually grows.
Eventually, the trees swayed and the sound of footsteps echoed like piling.
"... nuuuu?"
Uncomfortable with the omen, Baron Carl leans over.
Pavlov, who sensed something, began to pull the hem of the Lord's clothes as he squeaked.
"Hey, Pavlov, what--"
Bakin, the trees bounce with a sound.
Green curtains are removed, and a black beast appears from the back.
It's a little less than two meters tall, but it has a sharp, pointed corner from the forehead.
"Nuahhhh!?" Hey, what the hell is that?! "
Baron Carl reflexively appraises.
The window unfolded in front of him reads “Horn Gallop”.
"Horse!?"
Brown fur close to black, small but certainly not horse-like physique, and above all the busy footsteps.
If you look closely, a herd of ten or more climbing, not one or two, was running towards us.
"Pavlov, pull back!"
With his dog under his feet, Baron Carl retreats from the path of the horse.
Fortunately, they didn't come to attack Baron Carl and Pavlov.
"Rather, I felt like I was being driven away from something..."
When Baron Carl made such an impression, the ground exploded suddenly.
"Wow!? What is this time?!"
Baron Carl hugs his surprised dog.
As he turned his gaze toward the explosion, he discovered what the horses were running from.
Oh dear! I've defeated three of them!
Not many. I'll cut down all the herds.
For now, I'll let you pickle it with ice!
A girl in a red-haired rabbit-shaped lycanthrope is swinging a large beak.
A girl in kimono who passes her and pulls out a giant Japanese sword.
A blue fairy girl who flies countless blocks of ice from behind them.
Three girls were chasing a herd of jumping horses as if they were racing.
I don't feel comfortable with all three of you.
A little later, a guardian-looking golem woman chases after her.
After they had passed, there was a big road that was so big that they mistook it as if they had put in heavy machinery.
"W-what was that..." No, that characteristic destructive power, maybe they are the [Shirataga]? "
In Baron Carl's mind, looking at the dazed road left behind, was the "Shirakukan" group.
Not only is Leader Ledge widely recognized in the strategy group for his common sense inventions and ideas, but Subleader Letty is known as the master of destruction, Torka the swordsman as the master of living, Lacto the mechanic as the leader of ice machine magic, and all members are known as first-line players.
However, it seems that the number of people in the [Shirataga] was small.
Baron Carl himself had no direct involvement with any of the members of the [Shirakukan].
As for the leader's ledge, more monstrous transformations were on the market these days, rather than his face.
"Anyway, it's dangerous around here." Let's go a little deeper. "
Baron Carl moves his legs, “Don't let yourself be drawn into such a violent fight.”
If we go in the back, we'll be able to explore slowly for a while.
Throwing bone cookies at the frightened Pavlov, he keeps walking in the green.
“Pavlov, let me know if there's any danger.”
After Pavlov, who suddenly pulled his nose closer to the ground, Baron Carl became even more vigilant.
Not only protozoa, but even players must be aware.
Wahh!
"What's the matter, Pavlov?"
Then Pavlov barked.
Having heard his voice, Baron Carl quickly stepped forward to Pavlov.
Pavlov lowered behind Baron Carl as he stood ready to face off.
Determining that there was no need to flee from the situation, Baron Carl slowly scratched the trees.
"I-It's...!"
What was there was a small space created by tearing down some trees.
What's unusual is the pile of mushrooms piled up there.
It is stacked beautifully, as if it were an altar dedicated to God.
"What is this...?"
The bewildered Baron Carl.
Pavlov under his feet seems to be wondering how he judged the crisis.
Then a pig appeared from the other side of the place where they stood.
Was he lured by the smell of the altar? The pig runs in a straight line.
"Damn it! Pavlov, let's get out of here!"
It was when Baron Carl, realizing that he was standing on the path, hurriedly held his dog in his arms.
The sound of something popping raises the scream of a pig.
Surprised, Baron Carl raised his face and saw a mushroom boar hanging in the depths of a mushroom mountain.
"What!? This is a trap!"
Baron Carl looks up in astonishment and opens his eyes even wider.
This is amazing!
There were countless mushroom boars hanging from the trees.
His legs are caught by a sturdy wire, and he cries with sadness.
Ten or twenty is not enough for this.
And there were dozens of mushroom pigs, as if they were of fruit in the trees.
"No, who the hell is going to do this..."
I couldn't do it with a regular hunter.
Perhaps it was the work of a new protozoan, and Baron Carl could think.
Pavlov clutched his tail to his crotch with the battling Baron Carl.
At that time, I heard a disconnected voice coming from behind them.
"Whoa. You've got a lot on your hands, haven't you?"
"Wow!?"
In front of the astonishing Baron Carl was a man with a mediocre face.
Behind them stood a girl in white and a ninja.
"Wow. The surface is too bad..."
"...... for now, I'm going to stab you in the face"
The girl who saw the mushroom pigs hanging from the trap and hanging from the tree bent her mouth to the letter, and the ninja jumped up quickly.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have surprised you."
The remaining man walks up to Baron Carl, who opens his mouth wide.
Behind him was a girl in a maid's dress, a girl in a kimono, and a white deer.
No way, Lord Ledge.
My lord? Oh, I'm Ledge.
Ledge nodded in amazement as Baron Carl muttered his name in a reflexive manner.
I'm glad you know his name, but no one in this world knows his name.
He is the leader of the [Shiraku-an], the ruined old man, and the Ledge. He is the one who silences the crying child.
Well, then, Lady Ledge, too.
Yeah. Not to mention a few traps.
As Baron Carl pointed to the mushroom pig fruit on the tree, Ledge nodded softly.
As soon as they saw it, Baron Carl and Pavlov clearly collapsed.
Ledge calls out in amazement, but he laughs that the tension has just been relieved.
I see, this is the [Shirakan].
"Huh...? Well, we're the [Shiraku-an]."
Putting aside the bewildering ledge, Baron Carl laughs.
He had finally fulfilled his experience of slipping away from the work of [Shirataga-an], which was also said to be one of the duties of the conquering team.
