"This is the [corrupt city of iron and chains, Gildigarion]...."
The first thing I felt when I finished the examination and entered the crime city was admiration.
Watch out for a city that is too big.
Once through the outer walls rising high like castle walls, all the tall buildings in the city were lined up in chaos.
Sturdy stone buildings do not exist lower than the third floor, and are clumped together in the walls.Whether there is little land left, the roads are narrow everywhere and there is always a backalley atmosphere.
"The pioneer city might be bigger than Michelangelo."
"Compared to the [Ignistra, the capital of thunder and flames], which is also the king's capital, it's the same or more..."
"Hmm, but it's kind of dark... overall gray? It's a little dirty."
Lily, Mina, and Towa each share their thoughts.
The dark people gathered behind me and were only chosen as the place to decide the number one, and the population seems to be quite large.
It's terrifying to think that this city is my territory now.
I have to hold on to the rope...!
That's what bothers me the most.
Further above my head, I point to a few loose lines (...) running over the building.
"That's a chain, right?"
Yes, as far as I can tell, it's a chain.
"It's hard to say it's just a chain."
"It's big, isn't it? Is it connected to the top of various buildings?"
As Tois pointed out, the chain is so huge that if you look at it from the bottom, you can imagine a huge snake crawling through the sky.
The two meters are superior in thickness, and boast enough robustness to pull and lift the building itself, and they seem to connect to the city's central neighborhood.
Looking beyond the narrow sky, there was a taller structure in the middle of the city than any one seen in the Clan Clan.
It is made of a long square object dyed in a dark black color, with an even design like a monument. It has no windows and is flat on the top.
"Looks like all the chains are connected to it...."
Around objects in the middle of the city, several chains are stretched out of the city.
I guess I'm the only one who remembered the spider's nest...
"There's a chain on top of that object, too.It's even bigger than the other chains. "
"It's stretching in the sky."
"But did it disappear on the way?"
As everyone pointed out, the black object was tied to a chain hanging from the sky.
However, it is unclear where the chain is stretched out, disappearing like fog in the middle of the sky.
"What the hell is over this city...?"
"What, hey! Don't you know that even though you're beautiful?"
It was not the PT member who answered my question, but the boy in the run-down clothes.
"Come, are you...?"
"I'm Pooh!I'm a family shoe polisher. "
Boy Pua proudly stretches her chest and shows her missing front teeth with a smile.
"Hey, it's a family informant!The kid blew it off a while ago.At best, it's just a waste of time. "
It was this nasty uncle who pushed him so violently.
"Ahn, I see you're unfamiliar with this place.Why don't you hire me as your guide instead of dealing with a kid like this? "
"Hey, it's Grandpa Bacchus! They're the prey I saw first!"
"It's been a hundred years since I've had a good one, kid. Shut up."
"You guys pick me!?"
Ahn!?
: Hire NPC Poor?Hire Bacchus?:
: Reject?:
Hmm.
Apparently the NPC played a specific role.
Like tool shops and gear shops, it seems like an NPC that can buy information.
I appreciate that they've spoken to us, but I don't want to make too much noise, so I'd like to be quiet here.
"Er, relax, both of you...."
"You little brat!"
"Drink it, Jiji!"
My stillness is completely through and dirty between the two of us.
Even just because you're just a member of a group of girls, you just feel like you're looking at us with a rare glance.For now, there are only NPCs sitting or walking in alleys that look like worn rags... Clan Clan NPCs are often unattended, and I don't want to attract any more bad attention.
Besides, if you go any further, you will definitely encounter criminal (Gilty) mercenaries (Player) and war criminal (Judah) mercenaries.
I don't want to get into trouble here.
"Quiet, I'll hire both of you.If you don't keep quiet, you won't get paid. "
I tap the hire button from the log.
I did it.
"Ladies who know the story."
"So, what's that big, thick, black object, both of you?"
"That's the [Obelisk and Silence Tower].Once upon a time, it was created by the righteous warrior goddess Morrigan Valkyrie. "
It was Boy Pua who answered energetically.
"'Morrigan Valkyrie, the Goddess of Soul Reduction'?"
"We are deeply believed goddesses of war among the poor!"
"What kind of god are you?"
"The Goddess of Justice, who will judge evil souls!Someday, if sins disappear from this city, you will be invited to the place where the gods live!There is a legend that the tower will be pulled up into a chain leading to heaven and become an aerial city! "
"So there are a lot of people here who love justice?"
"That's right! I'm selling information when the family asks me to, but one day I'm going to defeat evil!That's why we have to live now, save the money, save the power! "
This is incredible information, but apparently this city was originally under the umbrella of the Goddess of Justice.
"Hmm. Is justice sprouting in these lands?"
"That's right, honey!"
Contrary to Pua, who was in a good mood to talk to me, Uncle Bacchus whispers "chi" as if it wasn't funny.
"Young lady, you don't understand this place...."
Uncle Bacchus put a cigar in his mouth as he walked and said, "Hey, give me the fire."
Pua snaps out the match and lights his cigar.
"Look here? The sinners are the winners.That's the only truth in this city, young lady. "
"Hmm. Who are the sinners, Mr. Bacchus?"
"This city is divided into four main families."
"Hmm, what kind of family is there?"
"One is [Naraka], where this kid is taken care of.As for the "Orthos family", whoever chases them to the bottom of [Naraka], steals their property, takes their will, and takes their lives. "
Uncle Bacchus looked at the boy and said, "Who is it that sells information to them and despises someone?"
"Well, I'm not just running around killing people because I'm vandalizing the ruins.It's a calm family.Above all, it would be better to kill the former boss of the [Fortune of Fate] who used to bull this city. "
Are you fighting?
"You're right. Among these idiots, the most notorious is the" Fate Nostrad Family ", commonly known as the" Guidelines of Fate ".Previously on Joe the Boss, it was outrageous.I did everything I liked to do to keep all evil together. "
The previous generation means that the second generation boss is alive...
"Was there a lot of murder after all?"
"Hmm, it's not that easy to live with.Evil in evil enough to manipulate man's destiny.Medicine and weapons destroy everything in a man's hands and suck it out.The monopoly on killing is another family. "
"Ah... is there anything else?"
"If you're a killer, it's Little Mad Hatter Ink, a murder contractor."Commonly known as "Crazy Killer" is famous for paying money and never making a difference.Thanks to this, the underworld organization is asking me to go there.At best, be careful how you swing so you don't have to be designated. "
Hmm. Can a mercenary (player) ask for a kill...?
"Nh, the [Yasha] group of real militants has been gaining momentum recently.Call me a militant, which means I'm not gonna kill you in a big family.But I'm surprised to hear that the boss here is feminine.I don't really know if it's a sword or a gokudo, but swinging it to a guy like us... well, he spills. "
It was always a critical Bacchus, but the tone softened slightly only when talking about the "Night Forks".
Poor complains as if he were poking at it.
"Bacchus is too sweet for a woman!"
"Idiot! Most men are kind to women!This is why the kid is... well, he's new, so compared to other families, he's a weak kid who's two or three steps behind. "
Grandpa Bacchus coughed up.
"Listen, even if it's a sprout of justice, it's the thief who's been picked before he grows up."
Then he looks at me in a blind eye and says.
"If you understand that, go to sleep and say the words of justice.Pooh! Stop being a rookie!I didn't know where the other families were watching! "
"Hmm! That's on my own!"
"I don't even know if I'm in a fight!"
"But I'll do better than Bacchus!"
Idiot! You've been...! "
Somehow, I feel like Grandpa Bacchus likes to take care of me.
It hits the Pooh boy very hard, but maybe he's taking guardian action to keep the Pooh boy from noticing.
Taking care of others in this dangerous town… whether it's justice or not, it certainly seems that a kind heart is secretly rooted here.
"Ignore the kid and let Obelisk guide you first."
Hey, Kojiji!
Something black sways over those two.
Hmm?
I think I saw it somewhere.
What a lovely face, with a patty forehead... boy or girl?
An arrow tip that tries to see a person in sight for just a moment, and that person hides in the shade.
"Nh, was it just an NPC?"
My solitude disappears into the darkness of the alley.
At the same time, don't forget to slip your trusted subordinates into the shadows.
