《True Assassin of Round Table》Rolia Village ( 3 )
Advertisement
Esmeralda and Nash were seen chatting in a room, Merlin and Arthur were not there. The celebrations carried out by the villagers were finished, and at this time Nash wanted to report on all the incidents that took place at Camelot while Esmeralda was gone.
Of course Nash had not told Esmeralda about Gwen and Suzu, he only explained that at this time Lancelot and Mordred had become adventurers in Re-Estize and Guinevere who began running a multinational business for the benefit of Camelot going forward.
"I see, I'm sorry Nash, I can't help you much."
"For what are you sorry, is not all the affairs related to planning my responsibility? I only carry out my duties, and you carry out your duties."
Esmeralda smiled at Nash, then returned to her seriousness and said.
"But that's not all you want to say to me, right?"
Nash nodded, then he took a few sheets of paper from his bag, and put them on the table. Esmeralda then took the paper and read it.
She suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
"Th-this?"
"Those are the data that I successfully gathered from my visit to Flying City."
Esmeralda continued to read the contents of the paper and looked at Nash. Nash who understood the meaning of Esmeralda's gaze nodded.
"That's right Esmeralda-san, I don't know if there are other players at the moment, but there's no mistaking that there are already several players who came into this world before the arrival of the two of us."
Esmeralda who heard that asked Nash.
"But according to the notes you gave, players come to this world once every 100 years, and these players are in a group or a dungeon."
Nash nodded.
"I was surprised to learn that Flying City is actually a dungeon that was transferred from Yggdrasil, but after I thought it made sense. And also, this Country, Slane Theocracy is a religious country that worshiped a belief, which is the 6 Great Gods."
Esmeralda, familiar with the name, reassured her memory and looked at the paper.
"Players!"
"That's right, because it's most likely the dungeon that was moved along with these Six Great Gods is in this country, and also the items left behind."
"You mean, items like World Items and so on still exist today?"
Nash put on a doubtful face and said.
"I don't know, but the players who came to this world 500 years ago, the Eight Greed Kings, left a lot of high-level items and gold in Flying City."
Hearing Nash's words, Esmeralda suddenly hit the table and stood up, she pointed at Nash with a surprised face.
"N-nash, don't tell me you are ... So that is the reason you brought Avesta to Flying City !!!"
Hearing Esmeralda's words, Nash smiled wryly while scratching his head.
"W-well, that's how it is."
Blue veins appeared on Esmeralda's forehead, she then immediately tweaked Nash's ear and said while scolding Nash.
"I never told you to steal someone's belongings or property Nash, why did you do that?"
Nash felt pain in his ear, perhaps because Esmeralda's pure strength stat was higher than Nash's.
"* Ouch * Th-that, calm down, I didn't duplicate all the gold, of course I thought of the consequences of my actions, I did that after knowing that the gold in Flying City would not be used anymore."
Hearing Nash's words, Esmeralda sighed and sat back in her seat.
As Nash said, the reason why he previously brought the World Item, Avesta to Flying City, was to duplicate the gold or the world's currency that was stored in Flying City.

Avesta is a World Item that is not included in The Twenty, but has the same potential power as the Twenty items.
Avesta can duplicate any object to be exactly the same as the original, but if a magic Item is duplicated by Avesta, the duplicated item will only have 80% of its original strength. However, still it was an item that greatly damaged the balance of the game.
However, like other World Items, the Avesta effect cannot be used with fellow World Items. In other words, Avesta cannot duplicate World Items.
Actually, when It was in Yggdrasil, although Avesta could be used to duplicate Yggdrasil gold, but the duplicated gold could not be used to buy any items, so the duplicated gold had no value at all.
Meanwhile, in this world, there is no system that regulates it, and finding such golden opportunities, Nash immediately tried it. He told Merlin to get around when they in flying city, it was none other than to duplicate the gold in there. Then the duplicated gold is exchanged for real gold there.
So Nash did not disturb the balance of the world economy, except the duplicate gold in the flying city is used..
"Well, if you say that, that's OK, because you know for yourself how dangerous the practice of money laundering is."
Of course Nash was aware of that, and he nodded.
"But take it easy Esmeralda-san, after this is all over, I will definitely return the gold to Flying City and eliminate the fake gold."
" That's the thing you have to do.. "
Nash nodded and then looked at Esmeralda. He was a little hesitant to talk about it, but finally Nash said.
"Esmeralda-san, there is something I want to ask you."
Esmeralda, who continued to read the notes Nash had given, said without taking his eyes.
" What is that? "
"This is about my plan to conquer the Roble Holy Kingdom..."
Hearing that, Esmeralda stopped reading and looked at Nash. After that, Nash began explaining all his plans to Esmeralda.
***
* Sssk *
Arthur who was sitting while looking at the stars in the sky suddenly noticed Nash's arrival.
"How is it, Nash-sama? Did Esmeralda-sama approve your plan?"
Previously, Nash had explained about his plans to conquer the Roble Holy Kingdom to Arthur. Because Arthur's role is also very important in this plan.
Even though Arthur is an NPC who has very high Karma points, but his loyalty to Camelot exceed that.
So, even though he had to take the bloody path, if it's for Camelot's sake, Arthur would do anything. Nash was actually quite surprised when he saw Arthur who agreed to his plan easily before, at first he thought Arthur would refuse for reasons of justice and such, but apparently not. That opened up new insights for Nash. Because at least for the NPCs, Camelot's interests are the most important thing.
Of course, if his creator, Esmeralda, said no, Arthur would also say no.
Hearing Arthur's question, Nash nodded and sat down next to him.
"She agreed, but with a condition."
"Condition?"
Nash nodded.
"That's right, he wants to follow my plan as long as I don't kill innocent people."
"Well, that's just how Esmeralda-sama is, I guessed she would say that."
Nash glanced at Arthur for a moment, Arthur then asked Nash again.
"But can it be done, Nash-sama? Isn't your plan to spread terror and fear to the Roble Holy Kingdom. If you don't kill anyone, won't the plan fail?"
"What is meant by innocent people by Esmeralda-san here are ordinary people, because this is an invasion not a war, then ordinary people inevitably have to be involved in it."

Arthur nodded at Nash's explanation.
"Well, that's where your role and Esmeralda-san begin, this is not a complicated plan, but rather very simple. That is because the power we have is far above the creatures in this world."
As Nash said, his plan to conquer Roble Holy Kingdom was very simple, he and the Abellion Alliance would act as criminals and attack Roble Holy Kingdom, while Arthur and Esmeralda would act as heroes.
In addition, Nash has also estimated the extent of Roble Holy Kingdom's overall military strength. The report Gwen gave her was an important key to his plan.
Arthur then asked Nash.
"So when is the right time for us to go to the Roble Holy Kingdom?"
Hearing Arthur's words, Nash sipped warm tea on the table and said.
"Well, after Agravain has completely conquered Abellion Hills, I will immediately start this plan."
"Then it's still long enough, huh ..."
Hearing Arthur's words, Nash denied it.
"No ... if there are no significant obstacles, maybe in about 2 weeks everything will be finished."
After that, Arthur and Nash talked overnight, about the future of Camelot and other trivial matters.
***
The next morning, Nash went straight to the village chief's house to consult about the vegetable in Rolia Village. If possible, Nash wants a few soil samples to be tested and some plant seeds.
Following Arthur's direction, Nash finally arrived in front of the village chief's house.
Nash did not expect that the Rolia village head turned out to be a middle-aged woman, that woman was none other than Shana.
Seeing Arthur's arrival with the person she saw yesterday, Shana who seemed to have been getting ready to go somewhere asked.
"Ara ~, Arthur? Do you have business with me?"
Shana asked while smiling at Arthur. Hearing that, Arthur pointed towards Nash behind him.
"No, I'm not the one who wants to see you, but this man."
Nash then stepped forward and introduced himself.
"My name is Nash, I want to meet you because there are a few things I want to ask you about vegetable cultivation in Rolia Village, Shana-san."
"Then this is the right time, because I'm also preparing to go to my farm , do you want to come with me to look around?"
Hearing that, Nash's eyes glowed and he said with a smile.
" Yes, please! "
After that, Nash and Shana immediately went to the vegetable farm in Rolia village, which according to Shana, the location was east of the village.
The road to the farm slightly upward. Nash, who saw Shana carrying some kind of big box in hrt hand, offered to help.
"Well, sorry to bother you, Nash."
"It's okay Shana-san, after all I forced to come with you, so at least I can help you in some ways."
"You are a very good boy, Nash. While my daughter is the same age as you, she is not very interested in farming."
"Haha, that's how it is."
Nash laughed bitterly at Shana's words, then he thought.
'Is it possible that because of my racial appearance, I look like a teen? '
After that, Nash was a little curious about the contents of the box he was carrying right now, so he asked Shana.
"By the way, Shana-san. What exactly is in this box?" Nash asked.
"Ah, that's an organic fertilizer that I made myself, be careful when you bring it, Nash ~ don't spill it, because it smells very bad."
Hearing that Nash nodded, and looked back at the box in his hand.
'So it's true that the vegetable uses special fertilizer, huh? '
After that, Nash and Shana continued walking while chatting, until finally they arrived.
"We've arrived, Nash."
Hearing that, Nash, who was impatient to see what the view of the plantation was that produced quality vegetables that he had eaten last night hastened his pace, before he stopped after seeing Shana who had suddenly stopped.
Nash put on a confused face, and he finally found out why Shana had suddenly stopped.
" Hah? "
The sight of the vegetable plantation that Nash had imagined was destroyed after he saw the scene before his eyes at this time.
Soil is destroyed everywhere, fresh vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, etc. are destroyed and scattered. Everything was destroyed, the farm that Shana had cared for years had been destroyed.
It is clear that all of this is intentional action. There is someone who intentionally damaged Shana's garden.
Shana who saw that felt her legs go limp, and her heart beat irregularly. Nash who saw that immediately put the box in his hand and supported Shana's body.
"My farm ... destroyed ... everything is destroyed." Shana continued to murmur while staring blankly at her farm.
Seeing that, Nash felt anger that he rarely felt in his heart. This was not because he saw Shana sad or something, but he was angry because someone had destroyed such quality vegetables.
In the Nash's old world, to eat vegetables like the one in Rolia Village might just be a dream. And all of it destroyed before his eyes, Nash clenched his fist.
Nash was able to predict who destroyed Shana's farm.
'Those Theocracy Bastards ...! '
Then, a man's voice came from behind Nash.
"Brown-skinned man, wearing all-black clothing and blue eyes ... so you are one of the people I need to kill, huh."
Hearing the voice, Nash glanced at the source of the voice, and he saw an androgynous man who had black hair and red eyes.
The man wore a luxurious combat outfit, with light armor that seemed to be made of quality material. And the humble-looking Spear..
Nash was able to guess who the identity of the man in front of him, he then put Shana in a nearby tree.
"[Dimension Lost]"
When Nash said that, suddenly a transparent black ball was seen surrounding Shana's body.
It's a Tier-6 magic that can create a small pocket space to protect anyone inside from outside attacks, and vice versa.
Without further ado the man said to Nash, and introduced himself.
"I am the first-seat of Black Scripture-"
However, before the man finished his self-introduction, Nash cut him off while removing both of his daggers from Dimensional Inventory.
"I don't care about the ants that I'm about to kill."
Nash then pulled one of his daggers from the sheath.
"At first I didn't intend to kill anyone of you, because I think you can still be useful to my plans. But this stupid act you just did is more than enough to be the reason why you deserve to die."
Nash then brandished one of his daggers and looked at the black-haired man with a flat but full of killing intent.
Nash then said in a cold tone
"Go forward at the same time! I will behead you all ... and teach you what fear is."
