The weapons sold in the Horuka Shops are a bit more powerful than those sold in the Town of Origin.

In particular, the only one-handed sword in it, the "Bronze Sword", is much higher than Kirito's "Little Sword".

It's just that Kirito didn't plan to replace the weapon.

Because although the power of the "Bronze Sword" is relatively high, the durability also wears out faster, and the resistance to special attacks such as "corrosion" and "weapon destruction" is also very low, so getting this weapon is equivalent to spending extra kells to repair it frequently, which is not worth it.

Therefore, Kirito still planned to continue to use his own weapons, and did not want to replace them, so he spent all his money on armor, added a leather coat, and acquired some recovery items, such as recovery potions and antidote potions, which are absolutely impossible not to equip in this world that has turned into a death game.

And Luo Zhen, who doesn't have weapons, doesn't need to think about it so much.,Directly bought the "Bronze Sword" in the weapon shop.,And bought a lot of throwing props.,For this reason, the useless materials and props that were previously obtained on the monster and in the treasure chest were sold to the NPC shopkeeper.,As for the recovery items such as potions, they have been retained.,It's enough for now.。

It's just that Kirito is not very comfortable with such a Luo Zhen.

"Is that really good?" Kirito said to Luo Zhen: "It's a waste to spend all the money on throwing props, you can buy better armor and configure some more potions, so it's safer." ”

It seems that Kirito is indeed a little worried about Luo Zhen's practice of not even preparing to update his armor.

However...

"Who are you worried about?" Luo Zhen said angrily: "Don't forget, I taught you to play the game in the first place." ”

The implication is that this simple truth doesn't need to be said by Kirito, Luo Zhen understands it.

But Luo Zhen still made this choice.

After all...

"As long as you don't get attacked, you don't need to think about defense."

After making such a statement, Luo Zhen ignored Kirito who was stunned and went to a private house in the innermost part of the village.

"Whew!"

The rainbow butterfly immediately fanned its wings and followed.

"Ugh..."

Kirito could only sigh worriedly and followed.

After a while, the two entered the house together.

What appeared in front of me was a very humble house.

In the house, there are two phenomena.

One was in a room with the door closed.

One is in the kitchen.

The former kept hearing the little girl's cough.

The latter is an NPC's aunt stirring the pot, looking like she is cooking something.

"This is the mission point of the Secret Medicine of the Forest, right?"

Luo Zhen asked Kirito on the side.

During the closed beta period, Luo Zhen didn't do this task, and only Kirito tossed a lot of time on this task for the reward of the favorite task.

Kirito nodded heavily, and then stepped forward and asked the NPC aunt.

"Do you have any difficulties?"

This is one of several fixed lines that trigger a mission.

Under such lines, the housewife in the kitchen slowly turned her head and looked at Kirito.

At this moment, a golden "?" appeared on the NPC's head. Word symbols.

This is proof that the task has been triggered.

"Hello, Mr. Swordsman."

The housewife in the kitchen began to narrate the content of the task in a low tone and with some sadness.

"My daughter is seriously ill, and she can't be completely cured by boiling the herbs sold in the market, so she needs to drink it with the ovules of the predatory plants that inhabit the western part of the forest, but the plant is very dangerous, and there is a flowering individual guarding it, ordinary villagers like us can't get it, if Mr. Swordsman can take the ovules instead of me, then I will give the long sword handed down from my ancestors as a gift."

The NPC's aunt finished her question in one breath and looked at Kirito expectantly.

Kirito immediately nodded with ease.

"Leave it to me."

When this sentence falls from Kirito's mouth, a window immediately appears in front of his field of vision, showing the record of the mission.

Only then did Kirito step back and replace him with Luo Zhen to step forward, triggering the quest in the same way, and getting the status of the "Secret Medicine of the Forest" quest in progress.

The two of them then retreated from the house and went outside.

"In this way, the task is undertaken."

Kirito then spoke to Luo Zhen.

"As long as you complete the mission, you can get the [Sword of Fortitude] as a reward, that's your goal, right?"

———— "Sword of Fortitude".

It was a very high-performance one-handed sword, and one of the most advanced weapons that could be obtained in Tier 1 of Aingrant.

This weapon is not a rare drop, nor is it a type that can be sold in weapon shops, there is only one way to get it.

That is to complete the quest "The Secret Medicine of the Forest".

As long as you complete this task, you can get this sword.

With the performance of this sword, not to mention being in the first layer, it is very sufficient to use it all the way to the third layer, and it is an indispensable thing for one-handed swordsmen who want to become top players.

Therefore, as a one-handed swordsman, Kirito would want to get this weapon.

And Luo Zhen also valued the performance of the "Sword of Fortitude".

Although, during the closed beta period, Luo Zhen did not do this task, but under the influence of Kirito, his main weapon is also a one-handed sword.

It's just that Kirito uses one-handed sword skills as the main means of fighting, but Luo Zhen is not, in order to make the demon and throw all kinds of assistance, lure the enemy, and maneuver, and then use one-handed sword skills to do a fatal blow, and the fighting style is very different from Kirito.

Originally, considering that if you do a fatal blow, it is better to choose an axe weapon or a hammer weapon with a higher attack power than a one-handed sword, but unfortunately the attack speed of both is too slow, and the sword skills are all open and close, which has too much impact on Luo Zhen, who is good at planning and then moving, and the attack power of the other faster weapons is too low, so Luo Zhen chose the same one-handed sword as Kirito.

Since it is a one-handed sword envoy, it is impossible to let go of this task.

That's why Luo Zhen came with Kirito.

The problem is...

"This task can't be completed together, what are you going to do?"

Kirito asks this question.

In SAO, the general tasks are divided into two modes.

One is a team pick-up, and the other is an individual pick-up.

Take the quest "Secret Medicine of the Forest" as an example, if it belongs to the former, then, Luo Zhen and Kirito can team up to farm monsters, and once they get a quest item, they can go to submit it, complete the quest together, and get paid.

In the case of the latter, then one person must get a quest item and submit the quest separately to complete them all.

This mission is the type that belongs to the latter, and there is no way to complete it in a team.

But...

"There's no way to team up to complete the task, so just team up to farm the mission items."

Luo Zhen said so.

"Hit two quest items and come back, anyway, you plan to borrow monsters from the forest to earn experience points, right?"

Hearing this, Kirito nodded with a wry smile.

Together, the two walked through the gates of the village and towards the night forest, which was gradually enveloped in darkness.

"Woohoo!"

Only the cry of the rainbow butterfly remains, which is pleasant and beautiful.
