[General Theorist]
Huh!? World Quest started out of nowhere!?!?
[General Theorist]
Whoa, it's starting at this hour.
Does this mean the previous Ancient Ruin discovery was the trigger?
[General Theorist]
Where exactly were those Ancient Ruins found?
[General Theorist]
Northeast of the Empire.
It's a place called the Jet Black Forest, the shallow parts are hunting grounds, but undead appear from the middle, making it a tricky area.
[General Theorist]
Thank you.
So it's deep within that tricky area.
You found it well.
[General Theorist]
Well, there was talk that there must be something there.
Maybe the top players, whose equipment has improved due to the mining boom, found it?
[General Theorist]
So, what's with the Dragonkin's permission?
What does that mean?
[General Theorist]
Apparently, when they approached the Necropolis, a Dragonfolk flew down and turned them back.
[General Theorist]
Dragonfolk!? Dragonewts!?
Which face? Which face are we talking about!?
[General Theorist]
Unfortunately, it seems to be the dragon side.
They apparently had dragon-like wings and flew in.
[General Theorist]
Yaaay! ☆:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:☆
[General Theorist]
…Glad you're happy.
……
…
[General Theorist]
So, getting permission from the Dragonkin, how exactly do we do that?
[General Theorist]
No idea at all…
[General Theorist]
Didn't those Winged Folk who appeared in the Kingdom say something about Dragonkin?
[General Theorist]
Ah, those guys…
I don't want to bow my head to them!
There must be another way!
[General Theorist]
If those guys came by order of the Dragonkin, then the Giantkin must be the same, right?
Didn't they also say they were under orders?
[General Theorist]
Oh, that's it!
The Giantkin seemed serious and sincere, so maybe asking them is the way to go?
[General Theorist]
That's a good point, but where do they live?
Even further beyond the Ancient Ruins north of Anheim?
[General Theorist]
Well, that would make sense.
They must live somewhere in those northern mountains, but…
[General Theorist]
It's fine for the Empire and Kingdom, but what about players in the Republic or Principality?
[General Theorist]
For now, maybe just wait and see?
I don't think permission will be granted nation by nation.
[General Theorist]
Logically, it would be a pattern where you can enter if you have a specific item or have already completed a quest.
[General Theorist]
So, we need to get that flag from the Winged Folk or Giantkin?
Still, it feels like players in countries closer to the north have an advantage.
[General Theorist]
Hmm, do I have to go north?
I just bought My Home, you know…
[General Theorist]
What about the NPC Elves in the Principality's settlement?
Or the Republic with the Demon Kingdom?
[General Theorist]
I see.
If you consider it a continuation of the main story, it's a line where you ask the races you met in the previous World Quest.
[General Theorist]
Was the Republic supposed to go to the Fairies, I wonder…
[General Theorist]
Can't the Republic ask NPCs in the Demon Kingdom or something?
[General Theorist]
Yeah, you can~.
It's hard to become friends, but I tried asking with a little extra.
I'll write down what anyone can probably hear:
・Dragonkin (Dragons) territory is north of the White Dragon Mountain Range, in the northern part of the continent.
・Beyond that mountain range, there's apparently something called the Dragon Capital.
・They command various races (including Dragonfolk).
[General Theorist]
Oh, thanks!
[General Theorist]
Do we really have to go meet them directly?
Either the north side of the Kingdom's Amiera Territory, or the north side of the Empire's Anheim Territory…
[General Theorist]
Wouldn't that only be accessible to top-tier players in terms of level?
I think the operations team would want people who just started and finished the tutorial to participate.
[General Theorist]
That's true.
Hmm, I have no idea what to do…
……
…
[General Theorist]
By the way, what kind of place is that Necropolis anyway?
I feel like investigating that first is more important.
[General Theorist]
What's to be gained by investigating it?
[General Theorist]
I don't understand why the Dragonkin would prohibit our entry.
If there are undead, wouldn't it be better to just exterminate them quickly?
[General Theorist]
That's true.
Perhaps there's something they don't want us to easily mess with.
[General Theorist]
So, it's like, investigate that first, then come back?
[General Theorist]
It would be better to investigate beforehand than to suffer greatly after entering.
[General Theorist]
Where are the materials for that kind of information?
There's no library because paper is scarce…
[General Theorist]
Still, guilds, right?
Adventurer Guilds, Mage Guilds, Merchant Guilds all have books.
[General Theorist]
If you buy them, they're expensive, so you'd only be able to read them.
Still, they'd charge you money…
[General Theorist]
Well, that's the role of the leading players who have money.
I'll go around the guilds for a bit.
[General Theorist]
See ya~.
What else?
Oh, were there bards?
[General Theorist]
That's it! Bards!
I'm going to go drink some sake!
[General Theorist]
You just want to drink sake…
……
…
[General Theorist]
By the way, how long does it take to get to that Necropolis from the Imperial Capital?
[General Theorist]
According to those who broke through, it takes about 5 hours to enter the forest from the nearest village and defeat enemies.
[General Theorist]
No, that's impossible for ordinary players lol
Even if we could negotiate, wouldn't we need to establish a Frontline Base first?
[General Theorist]
I feel like if we don't build it now, it'll be too late.
But I wonder if it's okay to build it without permission…
[General Theorist]
Ah, we might need the Empire's permission too.
[General Theorist]
Wouldn't it be better to build it much deeper inside?
If it's right before the Necropolis, I feel like no one would complain.
[General Theorist]
Going straight to the deepest part is impossible because transporting materials would take too long.
We'd have to steadily advance from the front, but I wonder if that's allowed…
