A Wild Last Boss Appeared
CHAPTER 9 | A MIDDLE NATION PERSON WHO APPEARS
—He is a lowly man.
He wandered aimlessly, but he stared at the sky far above him.
“One day, that's where I want to stand. In particular, I want to be able to stand somewhere around 50 on the daily rankings. ”
So the man jumped up, believing that he could fly like now.

… He jumped a little too high.
（´∀`） 人
Thank you very much everyone . This is all thanks to you guys .. I will continue to work as hard as I can without dying from lack of sleep.
"Library? The library is located on the eastern islands. Is this your first time in this country? "
I asked a friendly, yet resolute human being about direction. He was bald, had thick eyebrows, and was staring straight at us with a pair of bright eyes. Scars lined his face and a thick glove gripped tightly onto his back. All of this other than his worn-out armor gave him the typical appearance of a mercenary.
However, I assume that he is a sociable guy from his strong smile. It was an expression that drowned out her frightening appearance, replacing her with a warm and fuzzy sensation. He is that kind of guy.
"Eastern region, yes .. it means …"
“This is the southern island, so you have to cross the bridge to your right. The eastern region is where scholars and students meet. Schools, libraries, museums. “Dina and I nodded in understanding. It seems that each of the four islands plays a different role in the country. Just hearing this tickled the feeling of my adventure. After we flipped through the library, we had to look around.
"Thank you very much . We'll be on our way. ”
"Hey, Hey. Just a minute, lady. Don't tell me you're planning on walking there, are you? It's getting dark, you know? ”
The man stopped us. Then, he took out a map from his pocket and began to explain.
“The country is quite big. One island alone is about 500 square kilometers by itself. With its royal palaces and bridges, the country covers about 2500 square kilometers. It took decades for you to reach the other side on foot. ”
"Then how does everyone get around?"
“We take monorail. Come on, I'll show you to the terminal. ”
A monorail, huh? It's a modern approach to change. Yes, unlike this world that did not have the concept of science from the beginning. Even magic exists, so one or two convenient forms of transportation should not be doubted.
“Ups — almost forgot to introduce yourself. That name is Gants. I am a mercenary who works for the border security of the country. Well, today is my day off. ”
“My name is Dina, a traveling salesman, and this man in red is Saphur-sama, my master. ”
I dropped my heels onto Dina's feet, ignoring her expression of sadness. Who introduces someone as "shower"? Even though I'm the undisputed shade, you're the one who suggested this outfit!
“You are also dressed strangely. Well, I'm sure you have a reason. I don't plan on prying. ”
“... thank you. ”
It saved us a lot of trouble. I said one word of thanks and followed quickly behind the Gants.
“Um, if you agree, I want to know a little more about this country. ”
"certain. ”
Gants answered Dina's question quite easily. He's an open-hearted person to someone we just met. Looks like my first impression of him wasn't far off the mark
“I'll start with five country districts. The first is the southern 'Trade District', which is an area you should have seen upon entering the country. The region has many industries vying to sell their goods, so it was deliberately placed near the gate to attract the attention of visitors and tourists. However, the constant attacks from Aries, one of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, have led to a decline in population in recent years. ”
…My head hurts .
This feeling about subordinates that I have never met .. is a feeling that I will never be able to express. But for now, be prepared to kick you out, Aries. Naturally, I will not hold back.
Ah, don't worry. If my memory is correct, I've maxed out the Aries level to 800. He should be able to survive with a few kicks at full force.
On that note, I would be a little offending. Familiar like Aries will never surpass its owner in terms of levels. For example, if a level 500 player tamed a level 1000 monster, his level sank below 500. That was because the highest level of tamed monsters was equal to the sum of half of the level of its owner and tripled the number of levels of its class. In my case, close the level to 800 (1000 ÷ 2 + 3 x 100). Then again, even if the formula generates a number higher than the tamer level (e.g. If the tamer was a level 100 with a class level 100, theoretically, they would have a level limit of 350), the player level acted as the limit instead . In simpler terms, a tamed monster would never surpass the power of its owner.
With some simple math, you'll also find that familiar levels match their owners' levels up to 600 — levels assuming that their class levels are capped at 100. At level 700, familiar is not widely used, and most tamers join parties.
Furthermore, monster tamers were only able to maintain one familiar at a time. Taming a hundred familiars doesn't change the fact that you can't summon troops. Indeed, a stronger familiar from the player will also destroy the balance of the game. Solo players will run rampant, and the game will collapse as an MMO.
First, the cash store can solve some of these problems to some extent. Producing a level 1000 familiar was not impossible. However, to be honest, your best choice as a tamer remains unchanged.
“The eastern region forms the 'Scholar District', which we have already talked about, so I will leave it. Next was the 'Industrial Area' in the west, where the magic machines, equipment, and monorail we were about to ride were produced. Although it was nothing compared to the 'Brutgung' artisan state, this location was famous for its dense population of skilled mechanics. ”
"… The magic machine, Brutgung .. both are things I've never heard of. ”
I whispered into Dina's ear while continuing to explain. Both are names I don't know. At the very least, it was not the vocabulary of the game. After voicing my uncertainty, Dina began to fill me with the same low voice.
“That magic machine is something Megrez created 20 years ago. The engine uses mana as its fuel source. Besides being very cheap to fuel, it is much more efficient than burning coal. The magic machine is a new machine that attracts attention. However, it is not popular with flugel, so it has not completely robbed coal premises in the industry. ”
So thats.
It's the world's replacement for petroleum or kerosene. Although I don't know how much mana, they will eventually deplete the land's natural reserves. Or maybe, where are the unlimited resources? I have to relearn common sense here.
“Brutgung is a nation founded by seven other heroes —“ King Smith ”, Mizar. It is a large settlement of dwarves and craftsmen alike. In fact, most of the world's industrial goods are produced and exported from that country alone. ”
"I saw . ”
Producing ... subjects is another unexplored territory for me. But after receiving my answer, I turned my attention back to Gants' explanation.
“Northern island serves as 'housing district'. Most of the residences are concentrated in that area. Being the farthest island from the country's gate, it is currently the second safest location in the country. ”
"Why second? Wouldn't it be safest if it was the furthest? ”
“The thing is, miss, monsters don't just come through the gates like good citizens like you. While the lake serves as a natural fortress, there is no guarantee that monsters will not come and bite us from behind. In reality, monsters that fly or swim can completely ignore the gates. ”
Logic is pretty easy. As he meant, no monster was good enough to challenge the border patrol as respect. However, I find it strange that they do not attack through the water. As if reading my mind, Gants jumped to another explanation.
“Yang said, coming through the gate might still be a better tactic. The lake covering the country is actually a huge water golem transformed by Megrez-sama. It's amazing, isn't it? The lake that protects the country is actually the main defense of — almost like a guardian god. ”
Honestly I was impressed.
Although I am also a reclusive alchemist, the thought of transmuting an entire lake never crossed my mind. But since this is not a game that is limited to the look, anything can happen.
… Maybe I'll try it when I get the chance.
But the water golem, huh?
Anyway, Megrez made something very interesting. Which is infused water should be a quality transmutation material. It would not be strange for such a golem to reach the level limit.
… let's see, why don't we see for ourselves …

Hmph, level 500, huh? Given that this world's "sword saint" was level 120, it was a praiseworthy amount of power. Above all, using the entire lake had actually increased his HP. I mean, 1,800 HP at 500? Is this a bug?
Especially for the golems, who could not use status enhancement items, these numbers were outrageous. Normally, level 500, HP water golems where infused would amount to around 50,000 points. Pure water golems would have a slight advantage in HP, but that was insignificant.

Earning one with 180,000 is a completely different story. This is definitely a feat worthy of praise as the “King of Wisdom. ”
On the other hand, Gants were just novice fighters. Ah, well, using our level 120 sword saint as a reference, doesn't that make him so powerful? Well, at least he's not weak.
Gants continued to explain.
“Last, the central island consists of 'noble districts'. This is where noble and noble families live — places that are far from the reach of ordinary people like us. If you are trespassing, you will be arrested on the spot, so make sure you are careful. ”
So Megrez lives in a special classroom residence. It just makes it harder to sneak in from the front. All right, we can think about it later.
“And we've arrived. It's terminal. ”
Needless to say, our destination is very different from modern Japanese subway terminals. Instead, it looked like the inside of a vault. There are no escalators, handrails, or yellow lines to keep away. Flashy ads and digital notice boards were not found. It was just a metal box used to ride the monorail.
Not surprisingly, the monorail itself is another metal enclosure, but it is installed with sofas and windows. In short, we will ride the metal box enclosed in another metal box.
“Well, so far I'll take you. If you have the chance, make sure to find me again. ”
“By pleasure. Thank you very much, Gants-san. ”
“You really saved us there. I say thank you. ”
We couldn't hope he would take us to the Scholar District, so we thanked him and said goodbye. Having the patience to guide strangers across the city is already more than we could ask for. Waving hands to the benevolent mercenaries who helped with our trip, Dina and I boarded the monorail.
All right, scientific district, huh?
I guess that's where I'll make up for the 200 years of history classes I went through.
【Some Unuseful Extra Information】
The biggest problem with the Novel system
There was no big deal when the game first launched, so while the players continued to multiply, the number of writers seemed to be very few in comparison. In response to this issue, the gaming administration invited publishing sites from abroad to fill the void. Even then, the novel system could not cope with the rapidly growing gaming population. Most stories depict fierce wars between nations, the conquest of rare monsters, or the contribution of certain individuals on the battlefield. For this reason, players who are willing to pay for the right story start to dwindle. It's a tough world out there.
Problem #2: Copyright
As one might expect, there were many players who modeled their avatars after popular characters from copyright productions, and adaptation of stories for these players was impossible. That's how the saying goes "it's best to avoid copyrighted role-playing". Nevertheless, such avatars remain prevalent in the game.
