A jet-black object runs through the streets of the steep mountains.
　It was not fast enough for even a horse-drawn carriage to catch up with it, but its speed beat the demon that tried to attack it as prey, and it forced its way around a sharp curve with a hang-on.
　You know it as [Waste No. 13]. It is a magical motorcycle created by Zeroth.
　It has a magical high-speed motor built into its body, and uses disc brakes copied from a certain manufacturer. Although it was cumbersome, the power was transmitted by a chain.
　The shape is a futuristic design that sticks out awkwardly. The shape was a futuristic design that stuck out like a sore thumb. Apparently, with further modifications, it would look like something some anime or hero would ride, or it would transform into a power suit.
　Incidentally, I stopped using the twin motor because of its poor stability.

I'm pretty sure there's a series of slaloms ahead. ......

　The fast-moving bike conquered the series of curves, and the Zeros were now the wolves of the mountain pass.
　Yes, the old man is now the wind. The old man is now the wind. He is determined that no one will be able to ride in front of him, and he accelerates his speed. You can't say that about some runaway summoner.

"HIIAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

　And the passenger riding behind the Xellos in tandem was screaming.
His Excellency General Lusei Imara, a warrior known as the Kuro Heavenly General and a loyal womanizer in the Atrum Empire, screamed pitifully and clung desperately to the back seat to keep from being knocked off.
　There is no vehicle in this world that can run faster than a horse. Of course, the inhabitants of this world are not accustomed to riding such vehicles, and the speed they feel is faster than the visual information.
　The Roofail have wings and can fly, but their maximum speed is limited to about forty kilometers per hour, and they cannot fly faster than that.
　The reason for this is that even when they use their flying ability, they need magic power to keep their weight afloat, and due to the magic power consumption from their weight and speed, as well as the load of air resistance, they cannot fly for long periods of time. If you increase the speed of your flight, you will naturally consume more magic power, making it impossible to increase your speed. Zeroth's flight spell, "Wings of the Dark Bird," also increases flight speed, but has similarly low fuel consumption.
　In addition, the old man who controls the motorcycle is a rough driver.
　Lusay, who is accustomed to a speed of forty kilometers per hour, has no tolerance for a speed of eighty kilometers per hour, which is double that speed. In addition, the speed of the motorcycle gave him an unknown fear.
　It was like a child riding a roller coaster for the first time. Even with his mask on, he couldn't help but show his weakness.


"Huh?　What is it?　I don't know what you're talking about, sir.

　Lusay wanted to slow down, but the helmet and wind pressure prevented his voice from reaching him.
　The next moment, Waste No. 13 flicked off an Orc that had just stumbled onto the street. He was driving completely blindly.

"Hiiraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!　～～～～～!!
"Hahahahahaha, orcs are nothing to me. ～～～～～～～～

　There is no conversation going on here. Even in the correct sense, it's not a conversation.
　Waste No. 13 had become a running weapon - no, a madness.
　The old man mercilessly flung away goblins and other demons that had the misfortune to appear on the street. Motorcycles can't stop on a dime.
　We arrived at the town of Lisaguer, which had been renovated into a spa town. We will spend the night here today.

　The Kingdom of Isaras.

　Kingdom of Isaras. It is a country with a history that once boasted a great power in the vast plains.
　It was once called the Iscaras Empire, and was a unified nation that incorporated many races without discrimination.
　However, with the reign of the third emperor, the number of aristocrats who wielded power increased, and the empire eventually developed into a factional war. The country fell into a state of civil war. At this time, the beastmen and elves simply gave up on the empire.
　The factions that held the right to the emperor's succession, the factions that recommended that a capable person should become emperor, and the power-oriented factions that tried to take over the empire whenever they could were all involved in the civil war, and they were all pulling each other down, which was enough to turn the hearts of the people away.
　The faction that took control of the people's hearts and became a major force was called the Church Faction, and they would later establish the Metis Holy Law Divine Kingdom.
　In short, it was just a country that ignored its people, fought for power, and destroyed itself on its own, but the royal bloodline didn't see it that way.
　Forced to leave their rich land, they established a new small country in a remote mountainous area, but it was not a wealthy country to say the least.
　The country is rich in mineral resources, but the politics is not so easy that the country can be financed by them. The nation's finances were in a state of desperation, as the rapidly growing Metis Holy Law Kingdom was buying up its mineral resources at low prices.
　In order to secure food, we desperately needed abundant land, so we went down the Aurus River to fight, but we were defeated in the siege of Santor Citadel by our enemy at the time, the Kingdom of Roansina.
　Even though the Kingdom of Roansina disappeared one hundred and fifty years ago and became the Magical Kingdom of Solistair, he has not forgotten the grudge he once held.
　He started a war to save his people, and the result was a crushing defeat. It's understandable that the Kingdom of Isaras is hostile to the magical kingdom of Solstair, which has the Citadel of Santor, but it's just a spite.
　That's why the Citadel of Santor was an impregnable fortress city.
　At that time, it was the Kingdom of Atrum that gave them a hand, and with their support, they were barely able to starve, so the Kingdom of Issaras never forgot its debt of gratitude and remained friendly with them for generations.
　It was at this time that the Kingdom of Issaras and the Imperial Kingdom of Atollum joined forces and laid out a road at the foot of the mountain.

　And now, the Kingdom of Issaras was being politically pressured by the Holy and Holy Goddess Kingdom of Metis, and was on the verge of being destroyed. The goal of the Holy Law Kingdom of Metis is the road that leads from the Kingdom of Isaras to the Kingdom of Atollum, and if they can take this road, it will be easier for them to invade the Kingdom of Atollum.
　The Kingdom of Issaras, which was in dire need of food, was being blackmailed with diplomacy.
　The Kingdom of Isaras was in turmoil and planned to wage war against the magical kingdom of Solstair. However, in the event of war, they would have to attack a troublesome place.
　Yes, the Citadel of Santor.
　Having suffered a painful defeat in the past, he plans to send spies to gather information and ensure victory, but a troublesome pillar has been built in the Great River of Aulus and a bridge has been built downstream.
　Even if they went down the Aulus River to attack, they would be attacked from all sides and annihilated.
　While I was pondering over the situation, I was informed by my ally, the Imperial Kingdom of Atrum, that the magical kingdom of Solstair was planning to build an underground dwarven highway and establish a trade route with the Imperial Kingdom of Atrum.
　This will allow the mineral resources of the Kingdom of Issaras to be traded between the Kingdom of Atrum and the Magical Kingdom of Solstair.


　The reason why the Atrum Empire did not tell us about this is because the construction from the Solstice Magic Kingdom side was difficult and we could not determine when it would open.
　The trade route has only recently been opened. As a result, many wagons loaded with ores will be leaving for the magical kingdom of Solistea.
　Mineral resources are precious in Solistea. Also, it was a hundred times better than giving the resources to Metis Holy God Kingdom at a discount.

This should help our country's finances a bit. It's been a long time .......

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　Although he is in his early years, he is adored as a wise king and is a person who has carried out many reforms in this poor country. Since his youth, he has taken the lead in cultivating the country's agricultural land with his people, and the self-sufficiency rate of the country's food supply has increased dramatically.
　However, this has only been possible in a few areas, and it is certain that there are still people suffering from hunger.
　With the opening of trade routes to other countries, this country will be better off in the long run. However, the current situation is that many people are still struggling to survive.
　Even if we use the trade routes, it will take several years before the people's lives become easier.

Gems, minerals, and precious metals will be sold at high prices. But we don't know how long that country will remain quiet.
"Mm....... But the messenger from the Kingdom of Atrum had something interesting to say.
"Interesting?
"It seems that Metis has suffered a great deal of damage from the recent earthquake. It'll be a few years before the country is stable. I've heard that things are pretty chaotic in the capital.
"Then, that country will refrain from making difficulties for a while. They can't afford to pay attention to a frontier country.
But the next few years will be critical. We need to stabilize our power and build up our military while we still can.

　I had been preparing to invade the magical kingdom of Solistair, but its military was deemed too dangerous to invade due to the bridge built on the Aulus River, and the invasion plan was shelved.
　This was because more troops would be needed to invade another nation across the country. However, it is ironic that this military equipment would be used to prepare for the invasion of the Holy Law Goddess Kingdom of Metis.

"That country is in turmoil now. It would be an opportune time to reclaim the lands they have taken from us.
"The magical kingdom of Solistair is now our ally. It's a shame we can't avenge the loss of the Citadel of Santor, but our first priority is to secure the rich lands.
"Hmm. I've heard that Solistair is also offering us aid. We would do well to make friends with them as well as the Atollum Empire.
"Now that the Scroll of Restoration Magic has been offered to us free of charge, we must begin training medical mages. I think it is best to be friendly.
"At this time, High Mage. Has the beastman nation made an alliance with us?

　The minister turned and looked over to see a black-robed mage standing silently in front of him.
　These mages had suddenly appeared in a remote village one day and invited him to the royal palace to give him a prize for not only healing the sick for free but also for making many reforms that stabilized their lives.
　His reforms spread to other villages and towns, and the lives of the people began to show some signs of stability.

It is said that the Beastmen should be able to maintain their mutual non-aggression. They've also promised to lend us a hand if we invade Metis' Holy Law God Country.
"Oh!　As expected of Mister Ad. It is reassuring to know that the Beastmen are willing to lend a hand.
"They too have had their parents and families killed or kidnapped as slaves. If they're serious about destroying the Holy Law Kingdom, they'll be happy to lend a hand.
"Alliances have been formed between the smaller nations. The siege is as good as complete.
I wouldn't be too optimistic just yet. There are still half a dozen brave men left, and we don't want any innocent people to be killed in a war. It would be nice if we could win them over as much as possible.

　Ad was sorting through what he had said so far and carefully considering the current situation.
　The Isaras Kingdom's forces are small. Even with the support of other nations, they still have the strength to defeat each of the smaller nations. If we don't strike a blow to that force, the Holy Law God Kingdom will destroy us.

That's what I've been thinking. Even if we attack randomly, our forces will be crushed. Fortunately, that country is in chaos due to the disaster and we are busy dealing with it. I'm not going to miss this opportunity.
　But we don't have the strength to support the people. The first priority now is to rebuild the country. We have everything we need. ......
The cultivation of [Porta] is not going well either. We need to get our food self-sufficiency back on track, so let's export some wine, Your Majesty. ......

[Porta]. A plant that until recently was not even considered edible, it is a potato-like vegetable.
　The skin is hard like a rock, but when cooked, the outside becomes soft and easy to cook.
　Since there were no animals that would eat it, it grew in clusters in uninhabited mountain forests, but it was never thought that it could be used as food.
　The bark, softened by stewing, can be used as solid fuel by drying and hardening it after peeling. Ad, who discovered and spread such a plant, was regarded as a hero by some.
　As a side note, the Kingdom of Issaras is known for its viticulture, producing raisins and wine and storing them in large quantities. In addition, the kingdom cultivates "frost corn," a corn that grows in the winter and provides a valuable source of protein.
　Even so, there was an overwhelming shortage of food.

There are plenty of ores out there. ......
"Your Majesty ......, let's not do this, it's making us feel empty. It's just the beginning. It's just the beginning!



　King Ruidat occasionally falls into the depths of negativity.
　That's how empty this country is. Ad has no choice but to make a suggestion.

Why don't you export some old wine?　The older the wine, the more valuable it is. I'm sure they'd be happy to send some to Solistair or the Atrum Empire.
Would they be pleased with old wine?　I have plenty of that, but I'm not sure if it's really safe. ....... Will they attack us?
"Your Majesty, since Mister Ad says so, why don't you give it a try?　If we fail, we have nothing to lose.
That's right. ....... Poverty is to blame for this too.
Why are you being so negative? ....... You know how good a hundred year old wine tastes when you're making it, right?

　Ad is thinking in terms of modern earth knowledge. However, although the technology of aging is well established in this world, it was not thought that old wine could be drunk.
　Wine is produced in large quantities every year, and the older wine is gradually pushed into the back of the cellar and forgotten, and when it gets out of hand, it is thrown away and no one drinks it.
　It's a shame, but their common sense dictates that old, aged wine is undrinkable. That's why no one touches it, and a lot of wine barrels are lying in the back of the warehouse.

Hundred-year-old wine is good, right?　It's a precious wine that you may or may not be able to find in your lifetime, and they are more than happy to help you. You could also send him some jewelry to make him feel even better.
I hope you're right. ....... Hah .......

　Although Ruidat is not keen on the idea, we need to continue our alliance with the magical kingdom of Solistair. He had no choice but to adopt Ad's idea because he didn't have the cards to make a good impression.
　However, this would soon lead to an unexpected result.
　The Solistaeans, who had been sent wine and ornaments, were intoxicated by the taste of the old wine and sent a large amount of food and aid to the Kingdom of Issaras.
　The King of Ruidat, astonished by what was happening, tasted the old wine and finally realized the reason. The wine was so good that the deep taste brought tears to his eyes.
　Realizing the value of the wine, he sold several bottles a year of this aged old wine. As a result, the wine fetched an unexpectedly high price.
　The wine was later called "Tears of the Goddess" and was loved by other royalty, earning it a brand name as a top quality product.
　The price of the wine was astonishing, as just one bottle was worth the national budget of a small country.
　Eventually, the Kingdom of Issaras became famous as a sanctuary of liquor that produced artistic and delicious wines, and steadily enriched its finances.

　"Oh, it's over.

It's over. I'm tired every time... ......

　After being released from the service of King Ruidat, Ad fell down on the sofa in his room and let out a deep sigh.
　The king of Isaras was so negative that he had begun to ask Ad for advice on everything. If that's all, it's fine, but sometimes he even complains about his daughter's bride or his vassals with bad attitudes.
　When Ad returned from the [Ruudah Ilulu Plains], where the beasts lived, he had planned to just finish his report and take a rest, but even after that he was not released and was asked endlessly for advice on internal affairs.
　However, he was not released and was asked to consult endlessly on internal affairs. Even if he was asked to do so, there was no way he could make a decision since he was not a politician.
　When he returned to his room, he was in a state of exhaustion.

"Good night, Mr. Ad.
"Good night, Ad. You shouldn't have told me about the wise man's job.　You're forcing me to do a lot of unnecessary things.
You're right. ...... I'm a mage. I'm not a politician.

　I'm not a politician. Lisa and Shakti are sympathetic to Ad's tiredness, but they never try to help.
　It's easier to make potions and such than to be forced to do troublesome work.
　As a result, Ad is left in the lurch.

I'm sure Mr. ...... Xellos can handle it with all his mouth. I can't...
"Mr. Ad. Is this Mr. Xelloss that great?　I've heard rumors about the Annihilator, but I've never actually met him, so I don't know.
I'm with ........ I also heard that he blew up all his allies in a raid with a wide range of magic, and it's true that he half killed a PKer, wrapped him in rope, and then hung him upside down in a world tree?
"Maj: ....... We were there during the raid, but the story of how we took out the guildies who used us as pawns in their quest for reward items is well known. The story of how we took out the guildies who tried to steal the rare material, the fruit of the world tree, and hung them upside down from the tree. It seems that the PK guys were eaten by the rock birds and returned to death.
"Whoa~ ......

In Sword and Sorcery, Ad's party often worked together with the Annihilators. This is partly because Ad's party was also in production.
　Sometimes they were so close that they bought information, sometimes they collaborated on equipment, and sometimes they did stupid things together.
　Ad and I have done some criminal things together that were only possible because it was a game.

You wouldn't normally do that, would you?
"No, you don't." "You can do whatever you want as long as you don't die. Well, it's good medicine for PKers and bad guilds, but you've been doing it too, haven't you?
The Annihilators, for some reason, have a very sharp nose. The annihilators somehow have a very good sense of humor, and when they find people who are definitely screwing around, they crush them mercilessly.


"What, that encounter rate. Isn't it higher than the monster encounter rate?
Could it be that the Annihilators have come to this world?
It's possible. I heard that a mountain was wiped out in the Solstice Magic Kingdom. It's probably the Abyss of Desolation.

"The Abyss of Desolation. It's a super-gravity range spell that uses the destructive power of collapsing gravity spheres to uproot and wipe out enemies.
　There are only a handful of mages who use such ridiculous magic. The question is, who is coming to this world?

I think it's Xelloss. ....... If Kemo and the other three came to this world, it would definitely lead to chaos.
Regardless of what kind of person Xelloss is, are the others really that dangerous?
What do the top players usually do?
The less you know, the better.　There's something wrong with Mr. Xelloss, but the other four are even worse . The other four were even worse. They created harem dungeons of homunculus with chemo ears, caused biohazards and pandemics, made useless equipment with ridiculous power, and made cursed items that they tricked others into selling. Xellos was better than that, as long as he behaved himself.

　It was an annoying party that took advantage of the fact that it was in the game world to do some unsavory things.
　Each of them went out of control according to their hobbies, causing more damage to the people around them.
　The trouble is, people with similar hobbies also gather, and their influence extends to most of the top players. They have such a wide range of friendships that hostile guilds are attacked and destroyed en masse.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　At least he was doing something different than the other four, right?
"Mr. Xellos specializes in magic development. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use this as an excuse to get out of the house.　You're doing Extreme Breakthrough, aren't you?
"In a word, it's a human weapon. He likes to create magic that is too powerful to be useful, and explosives. I've also been helping other members of the team, so I'm sure you'll be able to tech cheat in this world.
"Explosives ...... terrorists?　

　The first impression Lisa and Shakti had of the Annihilators was that they were terrorists.
The Red Annihilator Chemo LaVeune is an alchemist, devoted to the study of homunculus, and a complete madman.
　He is an irredeemable chemist who will go to any length to gather materials.
Kanon the Shiro Annihilator is a concocter specializing in drugs. He produces large quantities of magic potions and sells them to other players for repeated experimentation. There are countless victims whose heads have become hilarious due to debuffs.
Gantetsu, the Blue Annihilator, is a blacksmith who likes to create weapons that are designed to be impractical but have a vicious power. They looked great and were powerful, but the problem was that they always had a self-destruct function installed.
　Many players have been blown up by malfunctions.
Ted Dead, the Green Annihilator, is a necromancer. He loves cursed items and is a bounty hunter who hunts PKers. His goal is to experiment with curses, and his hobby is to create dangerous items that, when equipped, not only have a vicious bad status, but also cannot be easily removed.
Xellos Merlin, the Kuro Annihilator, was an ordinary mage, a silent destroyer who specialized in improving magic. Several malicious player guilds had been eradicated.
　When the five of them formed a party, they were able to make up for each other's shortcomings, teach each other, and improve each other to become top players.
　As a result, they conquered a number of high-difficulty quests and suffered many more casualties. The motto "Don't mix them up" comes to the minds of Lisa and Shakti.
　In a way, "terrorist" would be a fair assessment.

"Maybe it's Mr. Zeroth on Solstair. If it were anyone else, there'd be a lot worse going on, and they wouldn't pull their weight in a fantasy world. I can tell you that.
They're very free-spirited people, aren't they ....... What a disgusting trusting relationship.
If they don't take themselves seriously, mages who can destroy entire countries are dangerous. ......
I'm not sure what to make of this. However, they are a group of people with a lot of energy, so there's no way they won't cause a commotion. But so far, there is no mention of a large-scale incident being caused, so overall, we know that it is Xelloss-san who is in this world.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
I think I understand what you mean about the black annihilator being sane. It's very badass. ......

　If the game world were real, mages with powerful magic and destructive damage would be a threat.
　Wise men and great wise men, on the other hand, are a threat to the state, and can be assassinated in the name of eliminating threats.
　Royalty and nobility are not so open-minded as to tolerate a threat to their rulers. They will definitely move to eliminate him.

I'm sure he'll get through this world aloof. He's going to go through this world aloof, and he's going to influence a lot of people with his immature behavior.
That's terrible. I don't want to meet him. ....... I don't know what they'll do to me.
I agree with Ms. Shakti. I'm afraid to meet her. ......
She's the most sensible person in the group, so don't worry. He'll be the first to realize that this world is real, and he'll be the first to suspect the four gods. It would be reassuring to have them on our side.
Okay, next stop, .......
I'll see Mr. Xellos. I'm thinking of going to Solstair again. ......

　There's nothing more reassuring than an annihilator lending a helping hand.
　Best of all, Ad is something of an apprentice to Xellos.


　When I started a party with my friends, it was Xellos who trained me in acquiring skills. And his assassination skills.
　It was hard to tell which part of him was really a mage.

I've got to go,......," he said.
No ....... You don't have to be so cautious, he's just a nice guy.
But he's here in the real world, isn't he?　Just like us. ......
Do you think we'll be able to find him?
It'll be fine. You know, reincarnated people and heroes act according to the common sense of the earth.　Even if you're living a normal life, you're bound to do something wrong.
"I'm afraid of that 'doing something'. ......

　I can understand why you two are scared, but the more friends you have, the better.
　Above all, they are the best mages and the best producers. You can expect to get the best quality in strengthening weapons and making healing potions.
　Since my goal was to defeat the four gods, I knew that I would have to prepare powerful equipment.
　The Kuro Annihilator could make things that Ad could not.
　And so the three of them set out once again for the magical kingdom of Solistair. For the goal of avenging the four gods.
