Infinite Gacha - Chapter 251

After three days in a town on the side of the river that runs to the Duchy of Six - we board a boat to go down the river.

The weather is nice, but it's nice to go down the river on a boat, isn't it?

The racial kingdom group boarded the boat with their carriages and departed.

The ship was naturally chartered, and the kings were assigned the most luxurious rooms, and we were assigned a private room as Lilith's escort.

We now leave our rooms to enjoy the scenery and enjoy our second boat trip.

undefinedThe sky was clear and the wind caressed my skin as I stood on the deck.

It's a shame that I can't bask in the wind with my bare face because I'm wearing the "SSR, Mask of the Clown.

Gold, on the other hand, was peering at the surface of the river from the edge with interest.

'I really don't see any monsters in the river when I look for ...... signs. Mm, very interesting indeed."

I heard there are monsters in the ocean, but the reason why they are not in the rivers is still unknown to this day.

Is that so, Master Dirk?"

When I respond to Gold's words, Nemm responds. Gold looked back at me with interest, and I told him the story I had been told.

I told him what I had been told. There are studies that show that monsters, big and small, inhabit the ocean, but not in the rivers, and that their overall level is higher than that of monsters on the ground. So it is thought that there may be underwater monsters of a higher level in more remote and deeper areas than would be possible on the surface.

You haven't actually confirmed this?"

He nodded to Gold's question.

With today's technology, we can't go far or dive deep underwater, so it's just a guess," he said. In fact, it is dangerous to go to and from the coast, let alone far away from it. It's almost suicidal to go out to the ocean with today's technology.

It looks like it could be done with the help of my boon (gift) "Infinite Gacha" card. ......

'You're a genius, Mr. Dirk!　You're so knowledgeable!"

Nemmu turns to me with respectful eyes that sparkle as bright as the sun shining in the blue sky.

Haha, thank you Nemmu. But it's all based on what I was told a long time ago. It doesn't mean I'm great.

Yes, all of the knowledge I just mentioned was learned from the members of the "Gathering of Tribes".

I don't remember if it was at dinner or at the launch party after the quest, but that is what I heard at that time.

At that time, I believed in the members of the "Gathering of Tribes" and had no doubt in my mind.

I even enjoyed just living, not just adventuring with everyone. ......

My chest aches with anger at the betrayal, sadness, and memories of a fun past passing through my mind.

I found myself silently clutching my chest over my clothes with one free hand.

............"

'Oh, Master Dirk, what is the matter with you?　Have I done something disrespectful?

I'm sorry, Nemm," he said. I didn't mean any disrespect. I just remembered something bad from a long time ago.

Nemmu was worried and fidgety with tears in her eyes, and I followed up by smiling through my mask.

Gold wisely changed the subject.

Gold wisely changes the subject, "I'm getting hungry and I'm tired of being out in the wind, so why don't we go back on board and get something to eat?"

I agree. I'm getting hungry too, so let's have lunch, even if it's a little early."

If Master Dirk says so, I agree!

Nemmu...... you might want to take a little more initiative, don't you think?"

It doesn't matter because Master Dirk is his own subject!"

Oh, oh, well ......"

Nemmu asserts with a thud.

Gold, not expecting such a strong assurance, gave a half-hearted reply.

I found their exchange strangely amusing and laughed.

I noticed that the awkward atmosphere that had existed earlier had been completely removed.

A day on the boat.

Down the river, we arrive at the Principality of Six.

After leaving the ship, I arrive at the Duchy of Sixt for the first time.

This is one of the most prosperous places in the world. ......

The Six Principality is a nation funded and represented by six species and headed by a dragon race (Dragon Newt), who is responsible for its operation.

It is also the nation at the gateway to the Dragonaut Empire.

One must pass through here and cross the river to enter the Dragonaut Empire.

The Principality of Six has a school of magic, a school, a large library, and other facilities, making it not only an international city but also an academic city.

New technologies are basically born and presented in the Principality of Six.

The Sixth Duchy is bordered by the territories of races, elves, dragons, and beasts, and has canal transportation from the river to the sea, which attracts people and goods.

After unloading their carriages from the ship, the racial royalty headed for the center of the Six Principality.

There are mansions managed by each race in the center of the Six Principality.

During their stay in the duchy, they will basically stay at the mansion.

Furthermore, in the center of each tribe's mansion, there is a meeting place where meetings are held.

Lilith explained to me that when the meeting started, the representatives would gather at a round table to discuss the issues.

From the ship, Lilith and her friends travel by carriage.

We and the soldiers followed on foot.

While walking, we observed the principality for the first time.

The walls are high, and there are many buildings, people, and things. So this is the Duchy of Sixt. ......

Lord, the grilled river fish skewers from that stall over there look so good, may I buy some?"

Of course not!　We are here as an escort!　We are not here as tourists!"

Nemmu's right, we should wait until we've settled down to eat.

If the master says so, so be it.

Me, Gold, and Nemmu are conversing in our usual tone.

We approach a racial compound in the center of the principality.

There are entrances and exits to the mansion for each species. The racial entrance is to the southwest, and we must pass by the beast race, which has an entrance directly south of us.

The racial soldiers' faces are tense.

We looked at each other and twisted our heads, not understanding what it meant.

The answer soon became clear.

The beastmen, who appeared to be soldiers escorting the representatives of the beastmen who had arrived earlier, noticed the group of racial royalty.

Normally, the beast race would have taken a condescending attitude toward the race.

The racial soldiers did not react badly and seemed to be tense as they tried to avoid any problems.

This time, however, things were different.

What?　The human group!

Oh, I just remembered I have an errand to run.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Oh, oh. Don't ever make eye contact."

Some beastmen are frightened of the race, some act poorly while others return to the beastmen's mansion.

Some of the beastmen are restless, and they walk out into the city, pretending not to notice the racial group.

The racial soldiers are bewildered and rustle at the change in their attitude.

On the contrary, I could guess the reason for the beast race's reaction.

(It seems that the "Beast Race Massacre" has affected them more than I thought. ......)

The chiefs of the Allied Beastmen Nations declared war on the "Witch of the Giant Tower" at the instigation of Hisomi, the "Master".

In doing so, they scraped together the race by illegal means and took some of them hostage to force them to fight.

I didn't like the way Miya was kidnapped and the way she handled the situation, so I killed the beast race and all those involved who stood on the battlefield.

The fact that literally not a single person survived and was killed by the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower," a racial group, seemed to have imprinted fear even on the ordinary beast race soldiers who did not participate in the battle.

Therefore, they avoided getting involved with the racial group.

(It is true that if they had normal sensibilities, they would not want to get involved, let alone mess with them. ......)

Thanks to this, we were able to safely enter the racial compound without getting entangled.
