Chapter 38: Starlight Tears & Snow Moonflower
July 2, 2024, 55th Floor, Gransom -
Sakura and Asuna are talking to Heathcliff, and Sakura says that it doesn't matter if she is honest with Heatscliffe, because no matter how much Heathcliff brings in gamers, there is still a shadow of GM, and she will definitely remain neutral about this incident. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Asuna disagreed, after all, Asuna didn't know that Heathcliff was a GM.
“…… That's pretty much how the Red Guild went on a crusade. In Heathcliff's office, Asuna was making a report.
"I know, I won't mention this matter in the future, I will talk to the members about the Red Guild and the betrayal of Kraidir. Heathcliff replied lightly.
"Also, I would like to apply to leave the group temporarily. Asuna said again.
"Why?"
"I have some doubts about the Knights of the Blood Alliance, the Raiders Group, and the world...... Want to take a break. ”
"Hmm...... Got it. Heathcliff sighed, paused, and said, "However, now that the labyrinth area of the seventy-fifth floor has been explored for nearly eight years, according to past experience, the seventy-fifth floor is about to face the same bitter battle as the twenty-fifth and fiftieth floors, can you wait until after that?"
Asuna thought that there was nothing wrong with the leader's opinion, anyway, when it was time to raid the boss and defend the level, she had no reason not to participate, so she nodded.
"Well, that's a good idea, but I have one condition too, Heathcliff, you should remember that you owe me one, right?" ”
"Speak. ”
"I'm not going to force you to agree to extend Asuna's absence, but for the sake of efficiency, I hope you'll be able to personally contribute to exploring the labyrinth area in the future. "For Asuna's holiday.
"Yes. ”
……………………………………………………
Seventy-fifth floor, maze area-
It's a kind of obsidian-like labyrinth of large ancient tombs made of turning heads, and the air is very cold.
For the sake of her sister's holiday, in addition to asking Heatscliffe to personally lead the team, Sakura also slightly urged the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group and the Support Association to slightly increase some people with higher skill levels in this area without lowering the security level.
Of course, in order to ensure safety, let Xiaoxue and Ah Fu go to be the bodyguards of the Black Cat Group and the Support Club on a Moonlit Night respectively. Asuna and Heathcliff are together, and there is GM who is serious about playing the strongest guild leader, so there is no need to worry at all.
Sakura herself and Kuro let Yui explore the maze terrain as they move forward. Carpet search and radar search go hand in hand.
After passing through the transfer door of another layer of the maze, Sakura and Blackie came to a safe area, which is a special place for players to rest, and no monsters will attack them.
"Zheng!" As soon as the two of them finished transferring, they heard the sound of drawing their swords not far ahead.
"Yo, isn't this Kirito and Liz, you're exploring faster than me. Mei Sakura Cheng said with praise. ”
"No, we've only been here for a long time. Kirito put away his sword and continued to sit down to eat.
"Could it be that you two are dating?" said Xiao Hei evilly.
"Alas, how can there be such a tiring date in the world. Kirito sighed, and then Lizbet grabbed him by the collar.
"You mean, I'm tired of being with you!" said Lizzebet loudly.
"No, no, no, it's just that I'm worried about your safety. Kirito hurriedly distinguished, but he didn't know that this added fuel to the fire.
"Are you saying I'm holding you back!" Lizzebet shook off this time.
"No......" Kirito has become a little bitter since he was told the confession, and Lizbet said that she would go to the maze area with Kirito when she had no business, or else the hammer would be picked up.
In general, it's not a drag, it's a lot easier for Kirito, although Lizzbert is not a master, but recently Sakura's blessing has a good income, and he simply raised all his equipment to a higher level, which can withstand the gap of two or three levels.
If you have a teammate who can switch, at least Kirito can use stiff and long combos without any scruples, and the situation of being out of breath in the upper maze area has also been alleviated a lot. But worrying is worrying.
"Mom, the boss room is about three hundred meters to the left!" Yui said.
"Did you find it, thank you, Yui. Well, I'll just send a message to them to come over. But," Sakura tapped on the interface and looked at Kirito again, "So close, have you been probed?"
"No, I just pushed the door open, but I didn't see anything. If I'm the only one, I might want to check it out. Kirito said.
"Sure enough, you think I'm holding you back!" Lizbet's hammer was about to pick up again.
At this time, the transfer door lit up again, and two completely different teams with a total of more than ten people walked in. One was all red, and the leader was a bandit-faced samurai in armor, none other than Klein from the Wind Volcanic Forest. The other team is led by the blue-haired shield swordsman Diabel, who does not have a uniform outfit and is a member of the support club. Xiaoxue is also among them.
"Oh, Kirito, long time no see. Klein greeted loudly and warmly. Diabel nodded to Kirito very ordinarily, and the same person who sealed the test tacitly agreed.
Kirito nodded in return, then looked at Klein, "Didn't you just see me in the arena the other day?"
"Oh, yes, Kirito, such sword skills are hidden, and you're too outward-looking. Klein didn't shy away from saying, "But don't be too discouraged, after all, the opponent is Miss Misakura." ”
"Are you talking about me?" Sakura turned, and he had been facing Kirito before, that is, with his back to the others.
"Isn't this Miss Misakura!" The people from the Wind Volcanic Forest rushed over at once.
"Stop them!" the support club was willing, the two sides pushed and shoved and scuffled, and the larger support club immediately pressed back the wind volcanic forest, which only had six people.
"Man, it's really easy to understand. Yui said, propping her chin on.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Sakura. Blackie patted Sakura's arm and sighed.
"Well, it's not me who's suffering right now, anyway, but, hee-hee. Sakura noticed one of Klein's equipment, "Mr. Klein, can I delay your time?"
"Hey, what's the matter?" Klein immediately came to Sakura with a twinkle in his eyes, and the others stopped pushing and looked at Klein with complicated eyes.
"I say, Mr. Klein. Sakura turned on the moe mode, "I heard that you are the only elite player in SAO who has learned the art of drawing a sword, may I ask, do you have a sword on hand that can match my sword? ”
"I, I, I...... Yes...... I have been reluctant to ...... Sell...... Again...... Can't find the right ...... User ............ Klein stiffened as if he were about to make a mechanical wear sound, and called up the equipment slot, revealing a white handle of the sword, his hands held tightly as if he were holding a treasure.
Sakura scolded Klein's reaction, and used "identification" to bring up the attributes of the knife, the name of the knife is "Snow Moon Flower", although the value is still poor, but the potential value is good, let Lizbert process it to keep up with the "Starlight Tears".
