There was no player in sight in the square in front of the Black Iron Palace, and Xiangkong subconsciously thought of a possibility, that is, the players who had stayed in the Town of Initiation before all grabbed their weapons and walked to the non-safe area, going up one floor at a time, so they couldn't see anyone.

According to Yu Chu, the church is located in the East Seventh District, southeast of the Black Iron Palace Square, and the mansion-sized church not far from the square is not the destination.

Xiangkong has only one term for this kind of architectural knowledge with crosses erected on the minaret, and that is the church, but everyone else calls it the church, which is a mysterious place in this world.

There is at least one church in each town, and the altar inside the church can help the player remove the negative buff "curse", which can be used to bless weapons, increase damage to undead monsters, and can also be used to pray for a time-limited lucky buff, which is usually used to strengthen weapons and equipment.

Among the three functions,The only thing that makes Xiang Kong's heart is to pray for blessings.,In memory,Kirito and Asuna encountered the boss-level monster in the underground maze is the god of death.,Then the monster in the underground maze may be biased towards the attributes of the undead system.,At that time, in the face of high-level monsters at a low level,Prayer is indispensable.。

They followed Yu Chu along a wide and sparsely populated road, encountering only a few players on the way, but through the conifers on both sides of the road, they could see that there were many players outside the road, which made Xiangkong's idea shattered in less than ten minutes.

Nearly half a year has passed since the game began, and there are still some players who are supposed to stay in the town of Start, and they may still hold on to the idea of waiting for rescue, or they may have given up a long time ago, but this absolutely safe approach is more suitable for them than fighting in a non-safe zone.

Over time, the idea that if you go out to fight, you will die will linger in their minds for no reason. If the front-line raiders are all dead, it is estimated that they will not have the idea of taking up arms to fight, until the body in reality can no longer be loaded, and the body in the game will also appear in various indescribable negative states, and finally suddenly lose consciousness one day and leave the game world and the real world in different ways.

One thing that is certain is that in the event of a failed playthrough, they will be the last to die.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the group finally arrived at their destination, and in a vast area that looked like a garden, a two-story building stood at the intersection, and looking at the cross on the blue-gray spire, they knew that this was the road.

Compared with the church next to the Black Iron Palace Square and the buildings on this street, this church looks much shabby, and the famous Shaxia should have chosen this place because the rent here was relatively cheap.

"Brother Xiangkong, this is it."

With a face filled with joy as if returning home, Yu Chu rushed to the church after dropping a sentence, and Yu Bing and Yu Xia couldn't help but speed up their pace.

In this cold and unforgiving world, this is a warm place for them to be at home.

Xiangkong was touched, followed them to the church, and only when he reached the open door, he heard the noise coming from inside, and he could vaguely hear the voice of Yu Chu, the content was roughly showing off a rare piece of equipment, which could improve everyone's food, but he did not mention the danger of encountering Sephiroth.

Xiangkong stopped at the door, listening to the childish voice coming from the vestibule of the church, his fists slowly clenched, and the terrifying reality made the back of his hand appear with green tendons.

"Akihiko Kayaba, what is your heart made of?"

Xiangkong took a step forward and leaned in front of the door, the door of the church was bilateral, Yuchu only pushed open one door, while he leaned on the unopened door, squinted his eyes and looked inside, and saw a group of young players, probably between twelve and fourteen years old.

I don't understand why such a young player can enter this game, maybe Kayaba Akihiko didn't expect young players to enter the game when he planned this incident, even if he was aware of their existence at the beginning of the game, but in order to ensure that the idea of death if he was forced to leave was rooted in the minds of everyone in the real world, he could be sure that the man would not have the so-called pity.

Thinking of the evil of Kayaba Jinghiko, he couldn't help biting his lip, and at this time, a slightly weak voice suddenly came from his ears.

"You... It's just soaring. ”

Xiangkong followed the sound and saw a girl with one hand on the door, looking at him.

The girl has short dark blue hair, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, through the lenses you can see a pair of dark green eyes, her clothes are plain in color, she looks very simple, and generally not very beautiful.

"Yes." Xiangkong smiled.

"Hello, my name is Sasha, thank you very much for your help to Yuchu." A very clean smile appeared on Sasha's face, one hand against the door, staggered to get out of the way, the smile on her face was mixed with a hint of apology, and said softly: "Please come in, Yu Chu's kid will get carried away as soon as he is excited." ”

Regarding Yu Chu's temperament, Xiangkong knew a little bit about it along the way, and he smiled when he heard the words, thinking that if it wasn't for Youbing or Youxia mentioning it, it was very likely that he would not be able to think of himself until he was excited.

Walking into the vestibule, one is greeted by a very familiar scene, with rows of wooden chairs lining the front door to the left and right, and a walkway leading to the pulpit in the middle, which should now be called an altar, with the painted windows behind the altar vacating the image of the cross.

Perhaps because of the intrusion of strangers, the originally noisy sound came to an abrupt end, and the young players stared at the sky with a pair of curious eyes.

Yu Chu's face was a little puzzled at first, and he looked at the door with their gaze, and couldn't help but let out an "ah", and said embarrassedly: "Forget Brother Xiangkong." ”

Youxia, who was surrounded by children in the middle, rolled her eyes when she heard this, while Youbing covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xiangkong glanced at him helplessly, and it turned out that he had really forgotten outside.

Facing the curious eyes of the children, Xiangkong was also looking at them.

Sasha said softly, "Please come with me." ”

"Oh, that's good."

Under the curious eyes of the children, Shoku followed Sasha into the room next to him, where neat tables and chairs were placed and occupied almost the entire room, and it could be seen that this room was a cafeteria.

Picking a position by the door and sitting down, Sasha materialized a glass of white water from the inventory and pushed it in front of Xiangkong, smiling embarrassedly: "Poor hospitality, please forgive me." ”

That glass of white water is an unlimited source of free water from the fountain in the Town of Initiation.

Xiangkong glanced at Bai Shui thoughtfully, and smiled, "It's not in the way." ”

"It's really Xie Lu thank you today, I didn't expect that those children of Yuchu would go to the high-level middle school without authorization, if I hadn't met you, I really couldn't imagine the consequences." Sasha put her hands on the table, her head slightly lowered.

"Actually, with their strength, it's not very dangerous to go to an area of that level, but..."Thinking of the red player, Xiangkong suddenly realized that it was not easy to exit, so he stopped his words and said: "Those children... I'm curious how such a young child could get into the game. ”

Sasha sighed, looked at him with a little surprise, and said softly: "The minimum age for the game is twelve years old, except for Yuchu, Youxia, and Youbing, the age of those children is between twelve and fourteen years old, and before entering the game, no one would have thought that things would turn out like this." ”

Xiangkong was silent when he heard this, and he still couldn't understand the reason why Kayaba Jinghiko set the age threshold so low.

"I really appreciate your help to Yuchu and them today, if you don't mind, stay and dine together in the evening."

"Then you're welcome."

Xiangkong smiled slightly, and suddenly felt several eyes at the door, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, but saw several faces exposed in the crack of the door.

Seeing Xiangkong looking over, the door slammed shut.

Sasha was slightly stunned, and in an instant she understood what was going on, and couldn't help laughing helplessly, she sighed in a fluttering tone: "Those children yearn for swordsmen." ”

"It's a good fit for what this age group should have."

Shoku laughed too, and suddenly, he seemed to understand a little bit why Kayaba Akihiko would set the age limit so low.

Every child will have a dream in their heart, and there are too many dreams in this world...
