As Aizen said, "Worship is always the farthest feeling from understanding."

The same is true of Lizbet.

After knowing Makino's identity, he began to become honestly afraid.

But.

When she really got along with Makino, Lizzebette suddenly discovered that Makino was Makino, real, and completely different from the savior she fantasized about in her heart.

There is majesty but not rigidity, strength but not alienation, and even some humor......

As for the aristocracy, savior or something, it's completely the excessive brain supplementation of ordinary players.

However, this is actually a good thing for Lizbet.

Slowly, Liz Bet's lively, playful, and even somewhat spicy gossip personality returned.

For the various gossip of the Raiders group, Lizzebetter never gets tired of hearing it.

Of course, the most concerned thing is the progress of the strategy.

Although Lizzebet's question was vague, Makino naturally knew what she meant.

After a short time together, Lizbet made a good impression on Makino.

Very cheerful and optimistic, the goal now is to surpass everyone and become the No. 1 forging master in SAO.

There is no doubt that this is also a strong woman among strong women.

But even she desperately longed to escape from SAO.

Makino can understand this.

Escape is one of the most simple human feelings.

It's like when I was in high school, I kept thinking about escaping from high school.

Because teachers often say that it is easy to go to university.

Through communication, Makino learned that Lizbet's visit to the mine this time was actually an assessment task from the blacksmith shop NPC.

As long as she passes the assessment, she can change to become a real blacksmith, and even has the qualifications to open a weapons shop.

This is very important to Lizbet.

I thought it would go well, but I didn't expect to encounter a monster like a cave spider.

At the mention of spiders, Lizbet's heart was furious, and her delicate body trembled instinctively.

This made Makino feel a little funny!

Lizzebet's mission is to collect 100 units of iron ore, 50 units of iron casts, and 30 units of iron rhinoceros horns.

The vocational assessment is to forge these three materials into a higher grade of three-way fine gold through forging.

With Makino with her, Lizbet can't complete the material collection if she wants to.

100 units of iron ore only need to be dug a few times with a mining iron pick, and then several units of iron ore will naturally be piled into a pile.

Lizbet only needs to take out the storage items, and the iron ore can be easily mined.

As for 100 units, it only needs to be repeated for a short time, and the time it takes is only about 5 minutes.

Makino didn't feel anything wrong with this.

After all, SAO is a game world, gathering, forging, crafting, cooking, blades, and all kinds of production have been streamlined to the extreme.

Unlike the cumbersome procedures in reality, in the game, the key to completing a task is whether the skills meet the conditions required for the task.

A typical example is the S-grade ingredient [chowder rabbit meat cuts]!

It's a super rare and delicious ingredient in SAO, but no one can cook it except for Asuna, who is full of cooking skills.

And Asuna's cooking process is just a casual use of kitchen utensils.

Before and after, the whole process is so simple that it makes people doubt life.

In this regard, Makino complained and complained, and naturally there was no intention of criticizing.

If the design of SAO really moves closer to reality, then the gameplay is too "hardcore".

In reality, if you want to collect 100 units of iron ore, even if you use machinery, you don't know how long you need to be tired.

Thinking about the previous life, there was still playtime and reality 1:1, piloting a spaceship, and the rigid-and-dozen training time, it was creepy to think about.

SAO's various instructions are very foolish, which is a blessing in misfortune for players.

After successfully completing the collection of materials, the next step is Lizbet's forging assessment.

Lizbet invited Makino to visit her assessment in a joking tone, and her tone was deliberately casual.

But.

Makino still felt her longing!

Makino didn't know what kind of emotion it was.

It's definitely not love, Makino affirms.

Although in the original book, Lizbet became Kirito's harem, it was completely given for nothing.

However, the two have no such feelings now.

Perhaps, Lizbet just wanted to find someone to share the joy of success with her.

Or maybe Lizzebet just wants to enjoy talking to people.

Makino agreed!

To be honest, when he was in the strategy group, he never thought that middle- and lower-level players would be so ...... Lonesome!

Blacksmith's shop.

As soon as I entered, a wave of heat rushed in my face.

Although it is data generation, it still gives people a very mysterious feeling.

Lizbet's mentor is an NPC dwarf.

After seeing that Liz successfully collected the materials and came back, he immediately boasted violently, and then started the assessment according to the program.

Then, Makino saw a slightly different Lizbet.

If it is said that Liz was a somewhat lively and lively girl before, but the moment Leeds picked up the forging hammer, her temperament changed abruptly.

The person standing in front of him was not an ordinary girl, but a forging master who had been immersed in forging for many years.

Seeing this scene, Makino couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It's no wonder that in the original book, Lizbet was able to become the top blacksmith, and even helped Kiritto forge a sword [Dark Chaser] that was almost comparable to [Interpreter].

Strictly speaking, Lizbet is also definitely a rare genius.

The process of forging is very simple, knock a hammer down, and sparks will burst.

After a few hammers, the iron ore turns into a lump of iron.

After casting, the iron ore is directly fused with the fine iron casting.

After a few more hammers, the two materials are fused together, as if they have been sublimated, and there is a different kind of beauty.

The forging process has been streamlined to the extreme.

Even if it is an assessment, it is actually just a matter of a few hammers, but Makino feels a "sense of ceremony".

Solemn, solemn, and pious, even Makino was slightly stunned.

At this moment, some memories of the past are irrepressibly emerging.

Makino couldn't help but think back to the final battle between Kirito and Captain Heathcliff, that is, Kizuhiko Kayaba.

In the SAO world, all sword skills were designed by Akihiko Kayaba.

So, no matter how fast Kirito's sword was, it was within Heatscliff's expectations.

Kirito was naturally no match for Heatscliffe, and the battle was unsurprisingly defeated.

Then, two exceptions appeared.

First, Asuna got rid of the limitations of the system and moved her body in a paralyzed state, blocking the fatal blow for Kirito.

Second, after Kirito died, he managed to resurrect and stabbed Heatscliff with the white sword Dark Chaser, and finally won the battle.

In this regard, there are different opinions.

Some people say that Kirito's sword carries the hopes of all players, transcends the limitations of the system, and is the embodiment of mental skills.

Some people also analyzed that the reason why Kirito was able to resurrect and present it as a "ghost" was the reason why the mental skill + the dark chaser worked together.

Because in the Dark Chaser, it carries Liz's love for Kirito.

Whatever the reason, one thing is certain.

SAO is a system that can be surpassed.

The same is true of Heatscliff's hope.

At the end of the world, seeing Asuna and Kirito break the restrictions of the system one after another, although they are about to die, the head of the regiment still has a smile on his face.

All of this says only one thing.

In the SAO world, system restrictions can be broken and everything is possible.

And the key to it all is...... Heart!

Perhaps, finding your own mental skills is the most critical part of passing the assessment.

Makino suddenly figured it out!

Knowing who the final boss is and when he clears the customs, in fact, he has always had the final say.

Even if he debunks Heatscliffe now, the key is that Makino can defeat him.

And all of this is based on mental skills.

But how do you find your own mental skills?

Asuna is extreme love, and her love for Kirito is even beyond her own life;

The main reason why Kirito was able to break the restriction was that Asuna died in front of him......

Makino suddenly felt a little headache!

Looking at it now, if you want to surpass everything and explode your mind technique, the key is not how many levels there are.

These numerical powers don't really mean much.

The most important thing should be the heart to do whatever it takes!

Now, in the world of Sword Art Online, it seems that there is nothing worth his expense.

Don't...... Only...... Again...... Sorry Kirito?

But.

This is too deliberate!

Makino thought about it and felt a little stuck in a dead end.

Just when Makino was drilling a dead end, Lizbet successfully completed the assessment task.

The triple fine gold has been successfully forged!

Seeing the luster and beauty revealed by the triple gold, Lizzebert was extremely happy for a while, jumping and jumping, and even excited like a child for a while.

Seeing such a happy Liz, Makino was thoughtful. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
