At the beginning of spring, Akai's life and I were peaceful, and we didn't get any information about everything that happened thousands of miles away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just immerse yourself in a stable, serene life.

Until the arrival of spring.

"Akai, there's a guest here." Buried in my books, I looked up and shouted downstairs.

"Who? There was no knocking on the door. "Akai was downstairs guarding the stove.

"I felt a breath." I thought about it, so I said.

"I'll go, can I say I feel the breath of a weakling?" Everyday routines, but Akai did hear the commotion outside the door after I reminded him.

Standing up, Akai headed for the door.

"So, let me see who's visiting our house."

Since we became connected to the aborigines of this world, our original idea was to seek a house there and live there.

But since our home lacks nothing, we'd rather live here than go there and start over. Besides, if anything, a trip to the castle and village doesn't take much time.

Before Akai could open the door, there was a sharp knock outside.

"Here we are." Taking advantage of the situation, Akai opened the door, and there was a gasp of breath.

"Fa, Master Mage, Master Master is not here!" It's the traveling merchant.

Seeing this, Akai hurriedly invited him in.

"Yo, isn't this an old friend, how can you have time to go to a remote country like ours?"

I walked downstairs and saw Mo, a traveling merchant sitting on a chair resting, and couldn't help but quip.

Spring is just around the corner, and traveling merchants are coming to our homes, perhaps because some business has come to our door.

"Oh no, it's a big deal, Master Mage!"

Not as laughing and talking as I had expected, the Traveling Merchant looked at us with a look of panic and fear.

Akai and I frowned, it didn't seem that simple.

"Wangcheng! The royal city has been attacked by monsters! ”

"What!"

"Nani!"

Akai and I calmed down after the shock.

"Tell us slowly, tell us carefully, what's going on? We have seen that city, and if we want to capture that city, it is impossible to attack it without an absolute high-end force to open a gap. ”

At this point, the traveling merchant began to tell what he had seen and heard as he fled on the day of the destruction of the city.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

Since Akai and I live in a largely isolated place when we don't go out, it's not easy to find our home in the prairie. From the travelling merchant's panicked, staccato narration, we learn that he had been commissioned by the king on his deathbed, and that he had finally reached us a week later, surrounded by monsters in the wilderness.

"Wait! You say the king has died? "Unbelievable," I said, grabbing the traveling merchant's shoulder.

"Calm down, you two." Akai said.

"Yes, it's the door!" The Traveling Merchant said suddenly, firmly.

"Door?" I wondered, is there something wrong with the door?

"It's a black door! I stumbled upon a steady stream of monsters coming out of that door as I was escaping, and then, and then ・・・・・・"

His expression became solemn, and Akai and I fell silent.

We can basically guess from the incomplete dictation of the traveling merchant. As a veteran Minecraft player, in the later stages of the game, if you want to go further, there is an inevitable place to come into contact.

That place, a blood-red world, with its pervasive oppression and frightening dangers, is proportional to the benefits of that world.

That place is hell!

Hell, also known as the Next Term, is the opposite of the Overworld, a chaotic world where there is no day or night, just a blood-red and gloomy sky.

As it should be, there is no such thing as weather in the next session, or in hell, and the only natural light sources come from fire, magma, and fluorite.

Among them, fluorite is an additive for refining potions, and unlike redstone that increases the duration of potions, fluorite relies on shortening the duration of potions to further increase the power of potions.

In hell, there is no 'water', let alone water, and there are no Overworld plants in hell that can grow normally. The only ones that can grow properly in Hell are fungi called 'Hell Warts' and mushrooms.

Among them, the Hell Wart is the basis for refining alchemy potions, and without this special plant, any potion that is refined is a potion of weakness.

Of course, if you just want to make a potion of weakness, it doesn't matter if you have a Hell wart or not, but if you want to make another type of potion, you must go to Hell to find it.

In addition, the dangers in Hell are not only large lava lakes, flames, but also shortages of water and food.

In hell, there are monsters.

Zombie pigmen, blazes, hell bombers, wither skeletons・・・・・・ all of which are easy to do.

There is also a lord who is finally hidden in the depths of hell - withering.

It can be said that that place is simply a hellish copy, no, that place is hell in the first place!

"You mean・・・・・・ monsters came out of the black door?" Akai and I had basically guessed the monster's sphere of influence.

Hell has invaded the Overworld, what an international joke!

"Yes, yes, the gate suddenly appeared from inside the city, and then a large number of monsters appeared, and although our soldiers tried their best to resist, they still ・・・・・・" The merchant did not continue, but Akai and I already knew the end.

After a moment of silence, I suddenly said, "Akai・・・・・・"

"Yes."

"We can't just stay here."

"Ah, that's exactly what I mean."

The snow outside the door is melting, heralding the arrival of spring.

I opened the door, and in an instant, the last cold wind of winter blew the hems of my and Akai's clothes.

"Mo." Turning my head, I said to the Traveling Merchant with the Frost Staff in my hand at some point.

"Do you have any orders, sir?" Holding his hand on his chest, the aboriginal merchant said sincerely.

"During the time we went to Wangcheng, this place will be handed over to you, please take care of the fields and livestock, and if there are not enough people, go to the village to find a few people." After a pause, I continued, "The fortifications and walls here can provide a good defense, and Xiaobai will help you. With that, I beckoned Xiaobai, who was standing aside.

Akai walked up to me, and at some point he had everything he needed to go out.

Eventually, with the respectful blessings of the traveling merchant, Akai and I galloped off on horseback.

―――――――― the dividing line in the early stages of school――――――――

A week ago.

The monster stepped past the old mage and the iron golem lying in the place and rushed in

"Ahem." The old king did not run away, and returned halfway to fight the old mage at the last moment, but now, he could not hold on any longer.

Dropping the diamond sword in his hand, the old king, with grief, dragged his wife and son and fled over the city walls, preparing to escape through the back door of the castle.

But God didn't do it, and an ambushed coolie exploded amid hissing.

Rumble!

The walls were blown open, and the old king, his wife and son, were blown to both sides and separated.

The old king wanted to save his family, but the monster behind him approached, and in desperation, the old king took one last reluctant look at his wife and son who had fallen to the ground, limped forward, and fled.

Eventually, the old king came to his study.

With a sad expression, the old king took up the pen.

Written.
