Golden Experience

Episode 166: What Bones Are Skeletons?

As soon as I got back to the city, I slashed another group of great goblins.

I am normally attacked by goblins. That means whoever was in the mansion earlier is still not the boss.

Since the beginning of this city, but for the sake of difficulty, the encount rate is low. Maybe it's hard to find a rare person to act alone.

The same problem can be seen in King's Land, which is the same urban area, and in Erntal, Blanc. It is troublesome to be attacked by a large number of people like the other day, but it is also troublesome to be infiltrated by a single player with excellent clandestine skills.

Now it's where Goblin's boss is.

If the previous goblin is not the boss, the boss is lurking somewhere else.

─ ─ If it's not a city, there's only a forest. You don't have to wait for stupid honesty in a dungeon being attacked.

If you control more than one dungeon like Rare, you can wait elsewhere than in the dungeon being attacked.

In this case of Neuschloss, it is technically supposed to be a single dungeon, both in the forest and in the city, but it makes sense to keep the city's attention and hide in the forest.

Well, let's go to the woods.

Instead of directing the directions, 'summon' the wild birds under Mare and fly them overhead. Let them check the direction of the forest and let them lag forward to guide.

Rae broke in from the south side of the city, but the forest is on the north side.

If the safety area is south and the forest is north, if you think of the entire area as a mass, the deepest part will be the forest. Some players will consider the possibility that the boss is in the woods, even if it's not rare. Just because you ruled the city, there's no reason why Goblins have to live in the city.

However, if you are a player, you will find it easier to live with the Lords Hall as a base.

Rare thought the Manor Hall was a boss area because he thought it might be a player, but if he thought it was a wild boss, he might have headed for the woods from the beginning.

Goblins appeared from the woods. Then it is reasonable to assume that the root cause of all evil is the forest and that the boss is there.

It is also possible that the low encount rate is due to the fact that the city is not important to the boss here. Simply because the absolute number of family members placed in the city is low.

Whatever it is, you'll be clear if you go to the woods.

Riding through the northern outer walls, which collapsed further than the south side, out of the city, it was covered in deep mist. I see something like a forest across the fog.

"It's too close to the woods from the city. It's not sane to build a city like this.

... I wonder if the forest has spread after building the city "

Alternatively, it can be assumed that an outer wall was built as a jetty to prevent demons from coming to important facilities such as streets, and that a city was formed inside it.

If you look up the office and study of the lord's residence, you may find materials around it, but it's not something you want to know over time.

Walk carefully in the fog can get in. The wild bird returned. Aerial reconnaissance is ineffective in this fog.

Nothing in particular is wasteland. The sun is bad because of the fog, or the weeds that grow from time to time are short.

I can't hide, so I don't see any miscellaneous fish.

But Rae doesn't de-alert.

It was true that the undead had originally emerged from this forest at the previous event.

I once fought Sieg's undead in the Tree Forest, but the undead occasionally crawled out of the ground. Not necessarily without it here.

No, Rae stabbed the stone blade into the ground where he heard the sound.

There grew a hand made of bone, which was crushed by a stone clash and scattered.

Bone hands grow from the ground one after the other on the skin.

"Even if I just slap my hands, I can't tell." Earthquake "

If you want to get out so badly, I decided to plow the ground and make it easier for you to get out.

Earthquake, though, is attacking magic. It's not just an earthquake.

The earth twirls, pulsating as if alive, producing intermittently many large projections as hard and sharp as rocks. The protrusion returns to just dirt when it protrudes for about two meters, falling apart and becoming the material for the next protrusion again. When that lasted about five seconds, the change stopped at the same time, returning flat as on the original ground.

Skeletons buried on the ground cannot naturally be avoided. Shaken with the soil, it is shaken apart and stirred.

I wonder if it was cleared up all at once. It's a miscellaneous fish, and it doesn't add up to anything. It would have been a waste of MP in terms of income and expenditure. "

Given the time efficiency, there's no choice. If you want to rush ahead with some MP consumption, you should.

After that, the same sign of Skeleton activated "Earth Squake" and advanced through the wasteland.

Quite a few seem to be buried, and the next skeleton generally begins to appear around the edge of the last 'Ground Quake' range of effects.

As a result, it no longer even confirmed the appearance of enemies, and it became a routine for walking while periodically activating "Earthquake". We need to adjust the walking speed to the Earthquake recast time, but adjusting it is just work.

─ ─ But somehow it's a skeleton. My skeleton looks handsome, perhaps.

Rae only saw it because of the fragmented wreckage, so he doesn't know the style of his whole body, but his face is obviously different even if he only looks at the head he sees from time to time. That is the shape that manages to be close to the original skull, as seen in history textbooks.

I wonder if the race is different. It is unknown that Skeletons also have a race. No, what kind of race is Skeleton in the first place? Is it human, elf, or beast?

Those in Rare's camp will probably be human or elves. I'm not a dwarf because of my height, and I don't have a tail for a beast man's bones.

─ ─ What the hell kind of bone is a character who is a skeleton from the beginning.

However, I don't think any of them are very different even to the facial skeleton. Whether it's a beauty beast or an elf, I don't think it's as heterogeneous as it feels uncomfortable.

"Ah, goblins...... The bones of the great goblins just now? This."

If you think about it that way, it does look similar. Perhaps this is a goblin skeleton.

According to SNS, the beginning of the event was that Undead was attacking the city.

I wondered if I would have taken the undead on a "mission" or held him back with my own goblin, and I would have been heading to the city from that undead at the beginning of the event, but maybe not.

This boss has only been using goblins since the beginning. It's just the difference between alive and dead.

Speaking of goblin specialization, it seems like an enemy with a lot of hands. They also have the wisdom of keeping themselves in the city. It can be said to be an unattended opponent.

The woods are in front of us now. Skeleton hasn't come out in a while either. I don't even need to release 'Earth Quake' anymore.

The forest creates a dark, creepy atmosphere even though it is daytime. It's not as foggy as a wasteland, but the outlook is bad.

"'Hellflame'"

In the meantime, I magically burned down the trees around me.

The forest burns extensively, becoming ashes and collapsing. Later, the earth scorched in black and only slightly burnt remaining charcoal stand on the ground.

I try to kick that charcoal in, but it collapsed easily and disappeared into the wind.

It doesn't look like Trent or anything.

If you have Trent as your hand, you should mix it with regular trees and place it there. If you burn out this much area and you don't have a single one, you can assume they don't have Trent's family.

Then just normal vigilance.

Literally follow the roads that have become burnt fields.

And at the end of the 'Hellflame' range of effects, I felt signs of a group appearance, where I should go back into the woods.

"'Rye......'"

"Wait, wait! Please!"

Anyway, everything I met was an enemy, and when I tried to cast a lightning spell, I heard a rush.

The group looks like a player party.

The vigilance remained unabated, and for now the magic activation stopped.

As you look at the group, you gesture to encourage them to talk to you.

"Ah, ah. Well, we're the players who are invading this forest. So are you?

Will it be necessary to answer?

But this one has already been seen. You won't see the face under the hood at this distance, but it's not just the face that people recognize people. Personal identification is possible even in outfits, outfits, walking and behavioral habits, and voices are important elements. If we talk to each other face to face, we'll soon find out when we meet again. This is not the same level as was seen in the surprise attack.

If you're not going to let Mare act as a PK in the future, it's not a good idea to get murky here.

"... I'm a player too. It's a solo, not a party."

She seems to be a noble lady, and decided to speak in a respectful tone, although to a certain extent. Not so much as a role play like that, but if Mare were to act alone, she would need to imitate what is now rare. A polite tone should be easier to trace.

Besides, there are many players in the game who are always respectful, so they are less likely to be suspicious.

"So far you've come solo!? A wizard? You have something like that. Magic warrior. If so, you're quite a top player... May I ask your name? Ah, I'm Takuma."

"... call me Mare about me. That's what my friends call me."

I named it, but it's only my nickname. No problem.

Tankman? A player like that is an animal man, looks like a tank job, as the name suggests. He has fine armor and a shield.

Armor is full of scratches and shields are all over the place. I don't remember what it was, but if I repaired it with my production skills, I should be able to get rid of small scratches and dents. That doesn't mean this party hasn't been back in town for a while.

"You don't have that friend today? Well, that's a face I've never seen here, but what do you mean you came all the way to the woods in one day? Oh, I got it. Greetings."

Shiitake is an elf. The gap between visuals and names is terrible. And then there's the lightness. Neither the name Shiitake nor the species Elf fit this lightness.

A light warrior-like shiitake with a short bow on his back would be a scout for this party. I think the Beast Man, who has a bonus for mastering sensory skills, is better suited for scouting, but it's not what others say anyway. If the scouts also assume responsibility, such as untracking, the low initial DEX of the Beast Man may also pull the leg, so the emphasis may have been placed on it.

"My name is Kouki. This magic is amazing. How long has it been INT?

There's no way to say it.

He seems to be the most popular, but the most rude man.

He sounds like an elf from the ear, but his face and style are human. It seems like a wizard, and I chose an elf at the height of the initial INT, but I actually wanted to play with human beings. Or perhaps a full scan of the real body just like Rare.

"Hey, do you want to ask the first person you meet? I'm sorry, I'm a dragonfly. It's a spear attacker."

It's a name that could be cut by a famous spear.

Dragonfly was a big human man. Courtesy is better, but the exterior is good. It connects everything from the mistletoe to the moustache to the jawbeard.

He seems concerned about Rae's back spear, but he doesn't look like he's going to ask. His spear is shaped close to the Sakaho spear, but has a slightly longer tip. Is it a special order?

"... it's Penglai"

The silent man was low in height. I think he's a kid, but he carries a huge hammer. If you had been working in this style of play from the beginning, you would have needed a lot more STR than that from the time you created the character.

A slender, slender, childish, sweet mask, but perhaps he's a dwarf.

"I think it's amazing that you've come this far alone, and if you look at the magical power you have now, you can hardly doubt your strength. But just to be clear, this forest area is an unparalleled difficulty compared to the city area. Maybe it's the difficulty of the city and the forest showing the average difficulty per unit area."

"... hah"

I was thinking about the possibility that the city's military might have been deployed sparingly.

If that's what they are, then they are still biased in their deployment, as Rare thought.

"Even if I could get here by myself, I don't know if I can get there alone from here on out.

What do you think? Why don't you party with us on an ad hoc basis? If you're as powerful as you are, you have a benefit here, and our Kouki can use 'healing magic'. You can leave your perimeter alert to Shiitake, and I think it'll be easier than solo. "

Ease of mind, is a state where you feel comfortable, not where you feel comfortable working. I can assure you that partying with the five men I met to make it easier for Rae, etc. is not possible.

It's easy to kill everyone here, but it's useless to put on a cat and introduce yourself quietly.

It is also difficult to stick with the offer and proceed alone. If you refuse, they'll ask you why, and if the reason is unnatural, they might eat you down. All the more so if it is an offer from kindness. I can't think of a good excuse to break up here in peace.

On the other hand, it has no benefit at all.

Elf scouts standing around or a common spear strength. Skills used, collaboration. Then the performance of the equipment. It is an intermediate opportunity to observe these at close range.

"... that's right.

Thank you very much for your time. "

If it's any trouble, all you have to do is kill them.

It's just the difference between doing it here or later.

Then it's not too late to just see how things are going.

It would be a little hassle if they had seen us during the PK in the city, but that's when it happened.
