そんな話をジョージがしたものだから、俺は急いで『地下都市ヨールン』へと向かう事に決めた。巨人の死体オブジェクト......昼間や普通の夜などは常時、危害を加える事も何もできない大きな物体で、巨人の腐った死体のような物が散見されるようになったと報告があったらしい。それら謎の物体を調査していた
き、戦闘を仕掛けるも全滅させられるという事件が発生したらしい。
彼らは太陽の光を浴びて知性と記憶を取り戻し、月明りが降り注ぐ時のみ動き出せる。条件は一致しているはず......。
『ちょっとちょっとん、そんなに慌ててどこ行くのぉん! あちき達の合作スキル『冬の落とし子』たちのお話もしましょうよぉん!』
「て、天使ちゅわん......あなた、顔パスなのぉん!?」
ちんこをフル露出しながら、俺の後についてくるオカマ。
『妖しい魔鏡』で幽霊の『奴隷王ルクセル』を発見し、『浅き夢見し墓場』から『地下都市ヨールン』までの道のりを案内してもらう間、オカマはヌンチャクをビュンビュン落ち着かない様子で振り回していた。
『じゃあ、ボクたちの真の王によろしくね。キミには感謝しているよ』
ルクセルはリッチー師匠に解放されて、元の鞘、巨人の王ヨトゥンに仕える事ができて心底嬉しそうだった。
ちなみに『名声』スキルの『
NPC/モンスター『レイス(奴隷王ルクセル)』
:傭兵タロとの関係性 → 好感度【忠誠】
』とその繁栄を共にし、巨人族に仕えた奴隷人の王。
以前は【友愛】だった関係性も、いつの間にか忠誠って......壊滅の王ヨトゥンに知性を保つため『
「それよりって......幽霊に墓標の道を作らせて最奥まで一直線、ましてぇん地下への入り口まで案内させるなんて隠し要素、聞いた事ないわよぉん? というか、この地下ってなによぉん、あちきを暗い所に連れ込んで何する気ぃん!?」
後半のくだりはスルーしておくことにする。
「ゲームなんだし、ダンジョン攻略の裏道ぐらいあるのは普通じゃないの?」
』を掲げ、地下都市へと続く階段を進みながらオカマの話に耳を傾けた。この太陽光さえあれば、中にいる巨人ゾンビ達は理性を取り戻し、俺達を襲ってくることはないのだ。
「『マウントシェリー』はダメだったからぁん......『呪いの雪国ポーンセント』近辺が適しているかもしれないわぁん。昨日から『熟成』を始めておいたからぁん、適してれば完成してるはずよぉん」
に照らし出され、武具を装着した特別な巨人たちは静かに片膝を付き、俺達を迎え入れてくれる。
「巨人たちは、そのカンテラの光で、大人しいのよねぇん......も、もう天使ちゅわんのやる事にわっん、驚かないわんっ」
わんわん犬みたいな口調にしても、可愛さの欠片もないからな。
ランタンの角度によってはチラチラと覗くオカマの喉奥にはなるべく視線を向けないよう意識しながら、ここの巨人達を統べる『壊滅の王ヨトゥン』に対面する。
高層ビルよりも高い巨人の王は、ひざを突きこちらを見降ろしてくる。相変わらずの大迫力だ。
「元気だった?」
ヨトゥンを見て『大丈夫なのぉん!?』と、後ろで小さな悲鳴を上げるオカマをスルーして俺は彼と向き合う。
「太陽ヲ司ル天使殿ノオカゲデ、コノ通リ......」
神殿の中央には、聖遺物でも扱うかのような荘厳な台座があった。そこにちんまりと俺の置いていった『
十分な量を摂取し、それで地下から外に出る事が可能になったと。体質上、月明かりがないと巨人たちは動けない。だから少しずつ、天侯が月夜の時を頼りに地上を闊歩していたという。もちろん昼間は太陽の光を浴び放題というわけで理性は保てているようだ。
「無論、魂ノ解放ノタメ......宿敵デアル竜ヲ見ツケ出スタメ」
リッチー師匠の錬金術によって、死にながらもゾンビとして蘇生し、魂の救済なくして繋ぎとめられている巨人たち。復讐に基づく『闇月の騎士』契約によって巨人達は『宿敵を滅ぼすまで、その生を維持し続ける』という内容も呑んでいた。そのため、怨敵であるリッチー師匠を滅した今でも、自分達の国を攻め滅ぼした竜を滅ぼさない限り、彼らに安寧の休息はない。
「ヨトゥンさん、俺も
幻想郷
「コノヨウナ......呪ワレタ姿二成リ果テテハ、明確ナ敵ノ存在ヲ証明シナイ事ニハ、カツテノ同胞達モ我ラヲ信用デキヌダロウテ......」
ヨトゥンは自身のゾンビと化した肉体を嘆きつつも、希望を失くしてはいなかった。彼らの在り方を希望と表現するのは間違っているかもしれない。しかし、復讐に揺らぐ仄暗い炎が、その身と魂を焦がす事はあっても、絶望に濡れぬのならばマシと言えるのかもしれない。
「俺も力になれそうなら、協力するから。こっちは行き方について調べてみるから......元気出して?」
大樹の純巨人
両者の膨大な体躯の差も、ヨトゥンのしょぼくれようを間近で見ていれば、自然とそんな距離感は消失してしまう。
「慈悲深イ......我ラガ故郷ヲ見ツケ、共感シテクレタダケデナク......」
そう言って、ヨトゥンは不意に壁を殴りつけた。
突然の蛮行に驚きつつも、敵意は感じられなかったので警戒はしなかった。
ガラガラと白亜の石が崩れるのを、へたり込むオカマと無言で眺めていく。
サマノ、リッチー・デイモンドノ資料室ダ......太陽ヲ司ル天使殿ノ役ニ少シデモ立テバ良イノダガ......」
ガラガラと崩れていった壁の向こうには、確かに資料室らしき空間が広がっていた。
古びた書架が何個も並び、何に使うか不明な錬金キットの山、そしてビーカーやフラスコ、様々な容器に詰められた素材群。
「師匠の遺産......」
めっちゃ宝庫だった。
ついでに瓦礫も貴重な『月光石』だったので大量に採取しておく事を忘れない。そういえば、この神殿って『
そして更に、資料室の奥にはひっそりとたたずむ扉があった。何かの光る紋章が刻まれたその扉は、何をしても開かなかったけど、これはまだまだ秘密がありそうだ。
いろんな素材をくすね、師匠の資料室を出た俺は、ヨトゥンに別れの挨拶を交わし、半分腰を抜かしたジョージを伴ってミケランジェロへの帰途に着いた。
ちなみに去り際にヨトゥンを『名声』スキルで観察したところ......関係性が『崇拝』から『神格化』へと変わっていた。
......故郷の場所を教えたからかな?
なんだか、どんどん過度な評価をされている気がして怖くなったりもするけど、今のところ悪い関係ではないのだから、ネガティブになる必要はないと自分に言い聞かせておく。
「天使ちゅわん......あちきは疲れたわぁん......」
「俺もだよ。いろんな発見があって嬉しかったけど、興奮しすぎて疲れちゃったかも」
そうして『輝剣屋スキル☆ジョージ』にて、オカマと二人でホッと一息ついていると、フレンドチャットが飛んできた。
『......刀、できたぞ......』
George told me about it, so I decided to hurry up to the 'underground city of Jorn'. Giant corpse objects... There were reports of large objects that could do no harm or anything at all, such as day or ordinary night, and that objects like giant rotten corpses were now scattered. A group of mercenaries (players) who were investigating those mysterious objects appeared on the evening of "Heavenly Marquis: Moon and Night" to suddenly move a corpse and annihilate the battle.
There was also a caution against the wolf, and we were supposed to act together.
They can regain their intelligence and memory in the sunlight and move out only when the moonlight falls. Conditions should match......
"Hey, hey, where are you going in such a hurry! We also talked about our collaborative skills, the Winter Droppers!
"So, angel cum...... you, are a face pass!?
Still the octopus following me while fully exposing my throat.
While he discovered the ghost "King of Slaves Luxel" in "The Demonic Mirror" and asked him to guide him on his journey from "Shallow Dream and Graveyard" to "Underground City of Jorn," Okama was swinging Nunchak in a Bunchung restless manner.
'Well, say hello to our true kings. Thank you for that. "
Luxel seemed sincerely pleased to be freed by Master Richie to serve his former sheath, Jotun, king of giants.
By the way, in "Chanting the Air (Aire Poema)" in "Fame" skills, this is what it looked like when you checked your relationship with me.
NPC/Monster: Reis (King of Slaves Luxel)
: Relationship to Mercenary Taro Favor [Loyalty]
: The King of Slaves who once served the Titans by joining the 'Kingdom of the Titans of the East (Giga Makina)' and its prosperity.
What does the relationship that used to be [fraternity] have to do with loyalty at some point... leaving behind a lantern with "Fake Souls Burning in the Sun (Saint Homuncles)" to keep their intelligence in Yotun, the King of Destruction? I'm glad to hear it, but what if the king is loyal to me or something?
"More than that... you've never heard of hidden elements that let ghosts make their way to the tomb marker and lead them all the way to the deepest point, let alone the entrance to the basement? I mean, what the hell is going on in this basement? What are you going to do with it?
I decide to keep the rest of the crap through.
"It's a game, and isn't it normal to have about the back road of a dungeon offense?
I put up "Seed Fire Inn (Lantern) that houses Yang Jing (Faye)" and listened to Okama as he went down the stairs leading to the underground city. With this sunshine, the giant zombies inside will regain reason and never attack us.
"Because 'Mount Sherry' didn't work...... Wow the neighborhood of 'Cursed Snow Country Pawn St' might be suitable. I started 'maturing' yesterday, so if it's appropriate, it should be finished."
The special giants, who were lit up by a seed fire (lantern) and armed with weapons, quietly kneel down and welcome us in.
"The giants, with their cantera light, are very dear... but I'm not surprised at what the angels do anymore."
It doesn't sound like a wondrous dog, but it doesn't have any cuteness shards.
Face Yotun, the King of Destruction, who unites the Titans here, conscious that depending on the angle of the lantern, he will not turn his gaze as far as possible behind the throat of the flying peeking Okama.
The king of the giant, higher than the skyscraper, pokes his knee and looks down at this one. It's as powerful as ever.
"How have you been?
Look at Yotun and say, 'Are you okay?!?' And I'll face him through the little screaming wolf behind me.
"Sun Shill Angel Palace Nookaggede, Konotori......"
In the centre of the temple there was a majestic pedestal as if to handle even the sacred relics. My "Seed Fire Inn (Lantern), which houses the Yang Jing (Faye)", was sitting there properly. Yotun shows it with a finger thicker than a pole.
He said he could take enough and get out of the basement. Physically, the Titans can't move without the moonlight. So little by little, Heavenly Marquis said he was walking wide across the earth relying on the hour of the moon and night. Of course, all you can do during the day in the sun. That's why it seems to keep reason.
"Whatever, soul no liberation notame...... Successful Enemy Deal Dragon Sees Tuke Out Stammer"
By Master Richie's alchemy, the giants are resurrected as zombies while dying, connected without the salvation of their souls. The Titans were also swallowed by the "Knight of the Dark Moon" contract, which was based on revenge, to "keep its raw until it destroys its rival". For that reason, even now that we have destroyed the resentful enemy, Master Richie, they have no rest in peace, unless we destroy the dragons who attacked and destroyed their country.
"Mr. Yotun, I was able to confirm the existence and location of Fantasma."
Yotun was quite pleased when he told him that his true hometown, Fantasma, was beneath the Cloud Sea. But I still don't know how to get there. Plus now, where we can all go home, it's pointless if our souls don't release us. He wants to at least identify the enemy's habitat, paragraph the preparations for the war, and then return to his homeland.
"Konoyouna... 20% fruit teha in curse wareta, clear na enemy no presence proof sinai matter niha, katsu teno compatriots mo me la credit dekinuda lowte..."
While Yotun lamented his own zombie-turned flesh, he had not lost hope. It could be wrong to describe the way they are as hope. But even if the dark flame of revenge can scorch its body and soul, it may be better said if it is not wet in despair.
"If I'm going to be able to help too, I'll work with you. We'll find out how to get there... cheer up?
The pure giant of the great tree (Pure Giganto) and man (Me).
The vast difference between the two bodies will also disappear from nature and such a sense of distance if you look up close as Yotun's soggy sauce.
"merciful i... my raga hometown see tsuke, empathy citecretada kedenak..."
With that said, Yotun accidentally punched the wall.
While I was surprised by the sudden barbarity, I was not alert because I could not feel any hostility.
Watch the ragged and white stone crumble silently with the octopus that enters.
"Abomination (a) Mawashiki Former Lord (Arji) Samano, Richie Damondono Information Room Da... Sunshine Srl Angel Palace No. Ni Shao Shi Demo Ri Teva Liang Inodaga..."
Beyond the ragged and crumbling walls, there was certainly a room that looked like a library.
A bunch of old bookshelves lined up, piles of alchemy kits unknown what to use for, and a group of materials packed in beakers, flasks, and various containers.
"Master's Legacy......"
It was such a treasure trove.
Finally, rubble was also a valuable 'moonstone', so don't forget to collect it in large quantities. Speaking of which, it seems that this temple was built with a stack of "moonstones" in "Fantasma" - so I stepped into the library and...
Furthermore, there was a secluded door in the back of the library. That door, engraved with some glowing crest, didn't open no matter what you did, but this is still going to have a secret.
Creeping all sorts of material, I left my master's library, exchanging goodbye greetings to Yotun, and arrived on my way back to Michelangelo with George half waisted.
By the way, I observed Yotun with his' fame 'skills when he left... his relationship had changed from' worship 'to' deification '.
... Is it because I told you where my hometown is?
I don't know, I feel more and more overrated and scared, but I tell myself I don't need to be negative because it's not a bad relationship at the moment.
"Angel Cucumber... I'm tired everywhere Wow..."
"Me too. I'm glad I made all the discoveries, but I might have gotten too excited and tired."
That's how a friend chat flew in when Okama and I were taking a ho breath in "Hui Sword Shop Skills George".
"... knife, done..."
