CHAPTER XVI

This week's little tough~!

-------------

When Xiangkong woke up, it was already late at night, and more than three hours had passed since he fainted inexplicably.

For three hours, Argo and Kirito stayed together, after all, this is a wilderness and not a safe zone, even if the location does not spawn monsters, it can't be careless.

After listening to Argo's explanation, Xiangkong couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Kirito, and then sincerely thanked him, and Kirito touched his head, quite embarrassed.

Argo glared at him and said angrily, "What about me? ”

Xiangkong rolled his eyes and pouted: "I haven't collected protection money from you yet, it's good for you, you have to reimburse me for my red flame boots." ”

It's just a casual joke, but I didn't expect Kirito and Argo to stop talking.

Xiangkong looked at the two of them and wondered, "What?" ”

Kirito glanced at Argo, opened his mouth, and stopped talking, but Argo didn't look away, not letting others see the emotion in her eyes, as if this emotion was unsightly for her to show, but she had a different kind of stubbornness.

Xiangkong was puzzled and speechless, and could only look at Kirito, who couldn't help but smile bitterly, and asked with a little curiosity: "Xiangkong, where did you come from?" ”

"Melbourne..."

Kirito's eyes flashed, and he smashed his tongue, and rushed from the main town at the very edge to the Forest of the Remnant Moon, this distance is not short, the problem is that it only took about ten minutes for Xiangkong to get here from Melbourne, this speed is really incredible.

"It's no wonder that a pair of armor boots can be worn to zero durability and shattered." He almost groaned in admiration, but he was thinking about how the other party could cross such a long distance in a short time, and he couldn't think of it even if he wanted to.

"Alright, let's discuss what to do with your red name status first."

Argo was moved, but he didn't want to dwell on the issue.

"Why didn't I notice Argo's skin so thin?"

Kirito thought about it, glanced at Argo funny, and sighed that he had finally caught Argo's handle, but he didn't expect that Argo, who had the soul of a merchant, actually had someone he liked, it was unimaginable.

"Huh?" Speaking of red names, Xiangkong remembered that he had killed Baka not long ago, and the player's mark hovering above his head at the moment was pale red.

"What should I do?" He looked innocently at Argo.

Argo couldn't help but be speechless: "Red name players are not allowed to enter towns and villages, and you can only wait for three days before your red name status will be washed away. ”

Xiangkong smiled slightly when he heard this, and at the same time felt a lot more relieved, not that the red name status could be washed away, but that Argo's reaction to his insistence on killing Baca was not as serious as he imagined.

As long as that's the case, that's fine...

As for taking Baka's life, he felt no guilt at all.

But I heard Argo suddenly say in a very heavy tone: "You remember it for me!" Once you take the initiative to PK a player and kill the opponent, as long as it is more than five times, the red name will never be washed away. ”

Kirito nodded, and continued: "The judgment of the offender in SAO is different from other games, there is a criterion for discrimination, there are no hard and fast rules, as long as the orange behavior is violated, then no matter what, the system will make the offending player become an orange player, except for active killing, there is no criterion, as long as you take the initiative to kill someone, it will become a red name." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the pale red mark in the sky, and suggested, "I advise you not to tell anyone else about the red name, and find a place to eliminate the red name first." ”

"Kirito is right, the red name is not the orange name, if it is known that there is a red name player in the Blood Alliance, forcing Heathcliff to expel you from the union is small, and being used by someone with a heart will also affect the reputation of the Blood Alliance." Argo agreed.

Players will be disgusted with orange names, but not so much that everyone will be punished, after all, orange players are guilty of nothing more than theft and robbery, but red players are real murderers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are street rats.

However, even if it is an orange player, as the hidden sin value increases, the shade of color will also change, and the orange player with a bright color can be said to be a repeat offense, even if he actively kills the orange player with a dark color, he will not be red because of this.

There are quite a few red players now, but the players in Aingrant don't know about it, because everyone who has seen the red players has been brutally killed.

Therefore, the fact that Xiangkong has become a red name is not suitable for the current situation, and it is better to find a place to wash off the red name, and then act as if nothing happened.

"I see." Xiangkong could only accept this suggestion in the end, originally he was going to talk to Asa about this matter, but now he heard the two of them say it so seriously, so he gave up this thought, just thinking about what excuse to find is a headache, and finally returned to the team, and now he has to leave the team for three days on the grounds of personal matters...

"By the way, give me three days of food, I only rushed to the tenth floor today, and there is not much food." Xiangkong suddenly remembered that there was not much food left, and hurriedly begged for it.

Without saying a word, Argo gave all the food on his body to Xiangkong in the form of data transfer, which was enough for a week.

Xiangkong originally wanted to say that he didn't need so much, but it was rare to get so much food for free from Argo, which was not a common thing, so he accepted it with peace of mind, thinking of this, he smiled.

"In order to thank you for coming to rescue me tonight, I will charge you half the price of this food, and put it in the account, and I will ask you for it next time." Argo turned around and said lightly.

Xiangkong's smile suddenly froze, and he only felt that there was a stream of blood in his chest gushing up his throat, almost spurting out.

Kirito stood aside, looking at him with sympathetic eyes.

"Also, the work you've commissioned is complete." Argo had his back to the Sky Path.

Xiangkong was slightly stunned, and after a while, he slowly nodded: "Hmm." ”

Then, he realized that the gap between this incident and Argo seemed to have disappeared unconsciously, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Kirito didn't know about the matter entrusted by Lu Dao, and he didn't plan to investigate, he glanced at the time and said, "It's so late, it's time to go back to sleep." ”

As soon as he reminded him, Argo noticed that it was already midnight, so he planned to go back to the village with Kirito, and after a few words to Xiangkong, he was ready to leave.

"By the way, Argo, do you know the names of those two people?"

Xiangkong almost forgot about it, maybe Argo knew the names of the two red players.

After only a few steps, Argo and Kirito stopped at the same time.

The atmosphere unconsciously became solemn.

Kirito was also curious about the question raised by Shoku.

Argo was silent, Xiangkong saw that she didn't answer, and insisted on asking, in fact, when he saw that Argo didn't answer, he knew that Argo must know the way.

"Tell me, Argo, it's important to me."

Argo, who had been silent, suddenly turned around and said to him excitedly: "Then tell me, why do you know that the names of those two people are very important to you?" Can't you see that those two people are dangerous? ”

"How much is the name of those two people worth for intelligence, I'll buy it."

"You—" Argo pointed at him, his eyes flickering with rage, unable to speak.
