＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

◇

It took several hundred years to go back to tell that < UBM > and the anecdotes about the Tundra people.

Now they are earthlings living underground in the Sauda Mountain Road, but they were not originally inhabitants of the kingdom, but part of the tribe living in the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is a country built by those who have ancestors of dragons and human halves that are even higher than pure dragons.

Its superior dragon is no longer even officially named “ancient dragon”.

Therefore those who inherited the blood also called themselves the ancient dragon men.

The Ancient Dragons reigned as emperors of the Yellow River for generations, leading other races.

He had also given the name "dragon" as a sign to each tribe under his rule.

The Turkish dragon man was one of them, and he was formerly known as the Turkish dragon man.

The dragon men named "Dragon" lived their days healthy in the land of the Yellow River under the protection and control of the Ancient Dragons.

Until there was a seizure of the throne of the next emperor among the ancient dragon men.

The beginning was an unfortunate event.

The emperor of time died before he made a son of his twenties.

To the death of too young, the people mourned their misfortune... but they were also relieved.

The emperor had a younger brother.

Diligent, honest and hegemonic... he would have deserved the next emperor.

As such, the status of Emperor should have been inherited safely.

Until I found out the late Emperor's sideroom was pregnant with an orphan.

Here, the palace is bisected.

faction that the brother of the previous emperor should become emperor.

Faction that it is the direct orphan of the late predecessor emperor who should become emperor.

The faction's feud heated up independently of the will of the brother of the previous emperor or of the still unborn orphan.

These inheritance disputes were tough on the Emperor's succession, and the Yellow River also had measures to deal with such matters.

Those who oversee inheritance and wage disproportionate strife are distributed.

That's a special super position called [Dragon Emperor (Dragonic Emperor)].

An ancestral return born hundreds of years to the ancient dragon man with the “ancient dragon” as his ancestor. “Born super position".

It has a long life spanning nearly ten times as many centuries as a normal Gu Long man and immense power because of his combat super position.

It is also assumed that standing at the apex of power because of its longevity and power could stall the history of the Yellow River, and it is unacceptable to take the seat of power by the code of the ancient dragon people.

Instead, however, [Dragon Emperor] sends the raw as a tribute to the ancient dragon man and the court.

This time too, [Dragon Emperor] would have praised it before it was heated (...).

But badly folded, the previous generation of [dragon emperors] had completed their tenseu a few years before the emperor...... the next generation of [dragon emperors] had not yet been born.

This one was even poorly rounded up.

It was immediately after the reign of the previous emperor that [Dragon Emperor] fell, and for some time it was considered unnecessary.

But if I opened the lid, the emperor would also have sunk it before the birth of a new [dragon emperor].

The emperor collapsed without deciding on a successor, and no one was present to be able to give his opinion on the selection of the next emperor.

It can also be said that the battle for the throne of the next emperor began because of even poor patrolling.

But whether it was the result of the patrol or not, the dispute began... and no one could stop it.

And on the occasion of the blade wounds in the palace, the feud between the two factions develops from political struggle to armed clashes.

It did not fit into two minutes of the court, and after two minutes of the tribe serving the emperor, it reached two minutes of the people.

As a result, the war that divided the Yellow River began.

◇

□ [Fighter] Figaro

"It's like a mess with Ren."

I heard Mr. Drill Mo's old story that far, and Shu said that in a whisper.

"The mess of responding?

'Oh, it was a long time ago in my country. The General's brother and the General's child... it's a war that divided the country between them and the people behind it'

Yeah, speaking of which, I think I read a little bit in a history book or something......

"Fight, what happened?

"When I soaked everything up, everything wore out and inspired the war era to begin"

Warring Age...... Nobunaga or something?

"I don't think the Yellow River did."

◇

It was a civil war in the Yellow River with the Emperor's brother and the Emperor's orphan on his flag, but the result closes the curtain in an unexpected way.

Because during the months of war, the emperor's orphan was born into the world.

[Dragon Emperor (...)] as (...), because he was born.

As mentioned earlier, [the Dragon Emperor] cannot take the seat of power.

No matter how the orphan of the direct line of the previous emperor is, he is no exception.

When the newspaper reached all over the Yellow River...... anyone knelt down and broke their heart.

What were you fighting for?

Again, this happened because of the poor patrol.

It would have been a battle that never would have happened had children been born sooner than a few months later, had the previous emperor been alive even in a few months.

But still, there was a battle.

There is not a single winner or anything else in the battle that is inherently unnecessary and only useless.

But the losers were innumerable.

The earthly dragon man was among its losers.

The land where the Earthdragons lived was desolate, polluted and so dead that they could no longer hope to regenerate it by the countless widespread attack magic unleashed by the war.

To the sight, the hearts of the earth dragon men were exhausted.

They told the new emperor.

- It's hard for me to keep seeing my desolate hometown.

- No matter where you are in this Yellow River land that resembles your hometown, it's the same.

- Therefore, we, the Dragons, shall leave the land and live in the land of the West

- To apologize for being no longer a people of the Yellow River, we return the letter "dragon"

- If you don't like it, I want you to chop off all this neck.

- I don't want to live in the Yellow River anymore.

- If vagrancy is unacceptable, I want you to at least let me die dreaming of the beautiful nature of my hometown.

To the tearful appeal of the earthly dragon men, the emperor allowed them to wander.

At the same time, I get a dragon refund from them.

And so they went from earthly dragon man to earthly dragon man.

◇

Both Mr. Drill Mo and the other dragon men who had gathered in this assembly hall at some point cried with this crush.

Looking next door, Shu also held on to the eyes of the wearer.

"Historical romance bears in my eyes......"

There's so much I want to say... but it doesn't make sense to hold it down there, does it?

But there are about three things I think about the current story and this situation.

To be precise, two things that don't matter and one thing that matters.

The two things I don't care about are that "the old Tsurugi didn't say" ~ mog "and that" the Tsurugi people look completely different with men and women ".

Seeing the people of the gathered earthdragons, some of them are women who were not seen when they came. Women are closer to humans on Earth than men. Though he is short and all parts of his skin are as furry as men.

Well, that's fine. It is a common story that physical characteristics differ by gender.

I have no problem shelving the tone.

What matters... is the very story Mr. Drill Mo is telling us and letting us hear.

"What does Shu think of this story?

I whispered to Shu not to be heard by the dragon men. [M]

Then Shu takes off his hand, which was holding his eyes, and points his gaze at this one (maybe).

'Are we talking about whether this is the setting (...) or what really happened over here?

That's right.

Hundreds of years ago… It is common in books and so on to be told legends of the past as.

But this is in a game called < Infinite Dendrogram >.

No matter how sophisticated, there can't be hundreds of years ago.

'Cause the acceleration of time is only triple.

If it's hundreds of years old, the planet must have made Infinite Dendrogram for at least a hundred years.

That's impossible with Earth's technology in the middle of World War II.

So think about it normally. This story is just a setup for making up stories.

But look at the sobbing earthdragon people.

They are really in tears.

I think of the history of my ancestors, and I cry thinking of the mood at that time.

I don't care what you think... it's a reaction I really believe as something.

"Ma, there are three hypotheses I can predict about that."

"Three?"

Five minutes ago in the world, hypothesis.

World five minutes ago I know the hypothesis.

Only......

"The truth is that the game server was only powered on a while ago, Tian, who is in it...... NPC assumes that there is a history that has gone on and a life that has lived with cotton in tandem. This is the first of the hypotheses'

I also think this is it if there is one.

Still, that's all the memories of this < Infinite Dendrogram > ALL AI...... although it's a reality at the point of embedding it in Tian.

'And the second hypothesis is acceleration...'

Shu mumbles a little there.

"What acceleration?

When I asked him and prompted him to speak, Shu stayed a little while.

"... operation, it's not really three times as fast. Can you accelerate it?

……

…………

……………………!!

"Truth is, can we make this time faster?

"If you can do it a thousand times faster, it won't be a thousand years in a year on Earth."

…………

I can't say I don't.

Research to set conditions on computers and simulate the evolution of organisms at an early turn has already been developed a long time ago.

Then I know a little bit about the meaning of the name Dendrogram attached to this game.

If this is connected to the human brain, problems may also arise.

However, if the server is complete just before the start of the service… it would be possible.

"But..."

If, in that virtual environment, AI with the same intelligence as man lives tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of people and builds up history with a thousand, two thousand years.

That's not how the earliest simulation works.

That's almost the same thing that created one world.

And if so, the intelligence of living in this world is also not just AI.

Being defined as “life” if the history of the earth proceeds.

Proof of life for computer intelligence.

It's like the story of the SF I've lived and read and fished so far... but now it's possible in front of me.

If so, < Infinite Dendrogram > is no longer a game.

"............... even so"

Even so.

Even so... I won't stop.

I can only move satisfactorily here.

I can only burn my life in this Infinite Dendrogram.

Even if this is real life and the world, I won't stop living here.

"Ma, it's just a hypothesis. I'm not saying it fits, and it's what Guru is saying, and you can't guess, Kumar. '

Seeing how I was, Shu said such a light-hearted word.

"Speaking of which, Shu, I said three hypotheses earlier..."

I've only said two things yet.

'Hmm? Oh, the third one... I knew I'd quit'

"Did you stop?

"Hang a wheel on the second. SF, or too fantastic. Seriously, it's like an idiot."

Fantasy?

"All the while, Kumar, when the cry stops and it's time for the story to resume"

Yes, it was.

In the first place, I was in the process of hearing from Mr. Drill Mo and the others about the cause of these earthlings.

Although the letter < UBM > hasn't even appeared yet.

◇

The earth dragon men, the emperor who heard the appeal of the earth dragon men again, entrusted them with what was in them.

It was a small bead.

Inside, there is a shadow as if it were a four-legged beast.

- This bead contains a “tiger” enclosed by the predecessor [Dragon Emperor]

- "Tiger” has the power to establish a strong bond.

- Like any other treasure beast (UBM), it would do a tremendous job of tailoring

- The more we are defeated, the more we die, the more we return to heaven.

- Therefore, the previous generation [Dragon Emperor] sealed the tiger alive.

- If that's the case, we'll be able to use one scale of that power forever.

- I ruined this country for no reason, and then I drove my heart to that point...

- I think you should at least apologize... and take it with you.

That's how the emperor said he bowed his head heavily.

The dragon men also bowed their heads to the emperor, and received the beads from his hands.

Thus, the dragon men traveled west.

To the west, the dirt dragon man travels all the way across the horizon.

The beads had tremendous power.

Both wild theft and ferocious demons attacking them crossing to the west were hindered by the junction made by tigers in the beads.

Still, there were those who lost their lives because of the harsh journey, but many of the Turkish dragon people reached this new heaven and earth… later to an area known as the Kingdom of Alter.

And they made their place of abode only underground, to avoid strife with those who dwelt in the land from the beginning.

Thus began the new life of the earthdragon people.

And the beads of the Tiger, who kept protecting them to the land, were to be worshipped as gods.

During their long journey, they had begun to worship the tiger as their patron saint.

The dwellings of the earthdragons were underground, but only the “tiger” beads were built on the top of the mountains where they dwelt, as they were in the sun.

I never used that power anymore, but the dragon people thanked the “tiger” beads and didn't forget the daily festivities and the sense of reverence.

Then hundreds of years have passed......

◇

"There was an incident the other day, Mog."

"What's that?

"The temple of your Divine Body was attacked by another treasure beast... by a wolf < UBM >, Mog"

... Wolf's < UBM >?

"The < UBM > followed the wolves made of shadows and attacked them, Mog. It's the same wolf you defeated earlier in the river plain, Mog."

"Is that it..."

If it's about that wolf, it's not as troublesome...

"By the way, how different is the size of that wolf and wolf < UBM >?

It's not like we can measure the exact force with size, but it's a guide.

"It's more than ten times, Mog. Besides, that wolf's < UBM > seems to be able to get as many shadow wolves out as he wants, Mog."

…………

That's the problem before the size.

Awesome size though.

"... how did the wolf get his body?

"I don't know, Mog. Suddenly it came from outside the mountains, Mog."

"What's the damage to the settlement?

"There is no direct damage... but a young man from the village who tried to protect your divine body was seriously injured, Mog. Treated with healing magic, but still heavy and absolutely at rest Mog......"

"Did you get chased when you left, Bear?

"No, not at all..."

"... Hmm."

I'm not coming after the villagers.

Does that mean that the wolf's only aim was your god from the beginning?

But me and Shu are being attacked by shadow wolves in the river plains.

The difference is......

"Hey, Mr. Drill Mo."

"What is it, Mog?"

"Your body broke after the attack."

When Shu confirmed so...... Mr. Drill Mo nodded heavily.

Shu sighed and spewed out the words as he was convinced, "Is that what you mean?"

"So now the wolves and tigers are killing each other in that black junction."

"Why did you notice..."

"I've been wandering this mountain for a week, but I've never seen a big wolf or a tiger anyway. You asked us to defeat UBM, so I'm guessing he's not dead and he's not even out of this mountain. So, if you're in this mountain, it's only in that junction I haven't seen."

That black...... in the junction?

Right, “tiger” has the power to tie the line.

So keep the line open and keep that wolf out......

"Okay. Mr. Drill Mo and the others want us to take down the wolf that attacked them and protect the tiger."

"You're not."

Shu trumps my predictions in one word.

'Wouldn't you?

Shu asks, this time Mr. Drill Mo didn't even nod.

But that's not a denial, it's a hesitation to answer.

"Ma, even if it is worshipped with God, it has been used for hundreds of years in the subjectivity of a tiger... because it has always been good to be trapped. Will it? '

"Shu?"

"I didn't“ let the wolves get away "in the black junction first... to eat? I don't know what < UBM > is, but is there something about knocking it down? After that process, I want the dragon man... '

It assembles while Shu puts his thoughts into words as a bump.

There were, however, signs of a lack of serenity in its content.

"Revenge...... is that nature? No, rather the other way around... which way. Which position (...) is that tiger moving in?

That's how he thinks Shu conveys a strange sense of intimidation when he says he's over dressed.

And the hiccups just now... seem to have forgotten the odd end of the phrase too.

"Shu, what did I just say... protecting a tiger is different?

"Figaro. Think about it. The world isn't just about the black guy at the top of the mountain. Some of them are covering this mountain. He spread it all the way to the basement."

"Ah..."

That's right.

Shu said.

The junction covering this mountain was between east, west, north, south, and west, in the river and underground, he said.

"……… underground (…)?"

When I noticed something, Shu slipped the fingertips of the dressing goose to the side... pointing in turn to the people of the Turkish dragon.

"- Well, it's decided not to let any of the dirt dragon men dive underground out of the mountains."

…………

There are no words.

I didn't think Shu's words were wrong. Rather, there was great convincing.

But that's...

"That's... that their patron saint, the" tiger, "is trapping them and trying to do something about it?

'I don't know. That's where I still can't decide. I can think of a few reasons not to. But in any case, the earthdragon people have to leave the junction (...)'

Shu cut the words...... stared at Mr. Drill Mo over the eyes of that clothing crop.

"You bet, Mr. Drill Mo."

"... Yes"

To the words, Mr. Drillmo nodded.

"There are a large number of village warriors who fought the wolves and suffered major injuries Mog...... They are the family of everyone in the village...... one is my...... son...... mog"

One word, one word.

As if it were hard to say, Mr. Drill Mo throws up his words slowly.

"In our usable restorative magic, it's the best we can do because it painstakingly connects their lives, Mog... To save them, you have to go to the city and get treatment…"

That's to slow down a bit in saying the words that lie ahead.

But I guess that's... what I have to say.

"But... we cannot leave the mountain due to the junction the tiger has stretched out, Mog... No matter how many calls you make to the black kingdom... tigers don't answer me, mog..."

Such a situation has already been in place for a week.

And I guess they don't have time for this anymore.

So... even if I was suspicious, I had to speak to us.

"No longer do we have a hand but to discuss the tiger... the patron god, but we have no power to do so... please!

Mr. Drillmoor and everyone in the village - the dying warrior's family rubs their heads on the ground.

"I want you to defeat the tiger......, [Out of bounds tiger closer] and erase the boundaries!

That's how they... asked me and Shu to kill God.

To be continued
