Chapter 40 (500) Hurry
Recently, there has been a flood of advertisements in the book review area, and I didn't want to manage it, but now it seems that I can't manage it.

……
The neutral city where the World Tree is located is named Arun. There is a long distance between Arun and Siyiruban, and the quickest way to get there is, of course, by flying in a straight line.
Between them was a large forest, named Gusen, which was a neutral area between Siyiruban and Arun, and often served as a resting place.
December 16, 2024, ALO Fairy Country, outside the city of Siyiruban.
Not long after Chu Yue and Lifa set off, Yui suddenly appeared.
"Dad, it looks like a team of players is following us." Yui reported.
"What?" Lifa was surprised and said, "Are you trying to kill me?" ”
"Do you have a lot of enemies?" Chu Yue asked.
"Of course not!" Lifa immediately said, "However, after all, Si Yiluban is the main territory of the wind elves, and there are too many players, and there will always be people who have a grudge against you...... Also, the death penalty in the game is not heavy......"
"Did you just leave the territory and get revenge?" Chu Yue said with a smile, as if she was not nervous at all.
Lifa was about to refute Chu Yue or something, but Yui said first: "It shouldn't be Miss Lifa's enemy...... These people are all fire elves...... There were twelve of them. ”
"Fire Elves?" Lifa was surprised and said, "Why are the fire elves in Siyiluban following us?" Is it a coincidence? ”
"Possibly." Chu Yue said, "Yui, as long as they don't chase us, you don't need to care about them anymore." ”
"Okay, Dad." Yui replied.
Fortunately, this team of fire elves really seems to be just on the same road, and the distance between them and Chu Yue and Lifa has always been like this, not like they are catching up and looking for trouble.
Of course, no matter who you are, you can't just fly to the road.
In ALO, flying is the biggest feature, so many battles are recommended to be carried out in the air, so there are many monsters in the air.
Of course, this is not a difficult thing for Chu Yue and Lifa.
After killing several lizard-like dragons with flying red elder wings together, Lifa noticed that the wings seemed to become more transparent.
The wings themselves are translucent, and transparency represents durability.
"The wings seem to be reaching their limit, let's go down and rest." Lifa said, gesturing to an empty patch in the forest below.
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.
After several battles, Lifa felt that there was more tacit understanding and affection between her and Chu Yue. Because, getting along with Chu Yue made Lifa feel an indescribable comfort.
The two of them landed on the ground together and stretched their waists.
"How's it going, are you tired?" Lifa asked Chu Yue with a smile.
"That's just the point." Chu Yue smiled indifferently, "If it weren't for the durability of the wings, I would have liked to fly directly to the World Tree without stopping for a moment." ”
"Well, it may not be polite to ask like this......" Lifa hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Why, boss, are you so obsessed with the World Tree?" ”
"......" Chu Yue was silent for a moment, but did not answer.
"Ah, if you don't want to answer, that's okay." Lifa immediately added, "Originally, I was just a guide for you. ”
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that it's too much trouble to explain." Chu Yue said, "Moreover, there are many things, it's better that you still don't know." ”
Hearing Chu Yue say this, the little goodwill that Lifa originally had when she was in the sky and cooperated with each other to destroy the monster disappeared again.
"Oh......" Lifa's tone was a little coping.
Feeling the change of feelings in Li's tone, Chu Yue didn't say anything, just continued to ask, "How long will it take for us to arrive?" ”
"It's probably going to be another day." "It's a long way off. ”
"So, what if we don't go offline tonight?" Chu Yue asked.
"Not offline?" Lifa was surprised and said, "It's good to like games, but you should pay attention to rest." Even though I was better asleep in ALO, it wasn't! Or do you want to go offline......"
"Well, thank you." Chu Yue smiled at Lifa.
For other people's relationships, Chu Yue has always returned the most gentle smile,
It was obvious that Chu Yue had an extremely ordinary face, but this smile made Lifa feel her heartbeat speed up a little.
"I, we want to rest now. Take turns logging out. Lifa suddenly turned her head, not wanting Chu Yue to notice the change in herself.
However, this little bit of caution still couldn't hide from Chu Yue, Chu Yue smiled, and then said, "Hmm." ”
Lifa, this girl, is indeed a good girl.
However, I don't have time to flirt with my sister anymore.
If you go offline in the neutral area, the in-game characters will stay here for a while, so take turns logging out.
Because she was afraid that Chu Yue would find out that something was wrong, Lifa said: "Then, I'll log out first, I'll trouble you." After that, he quit the game.
Back in the real world, Naoba Kiritani lies on his bed, looking at the poster of ALO's own character on the ceiling, and reaches out and pulls AmuSphere off his head.
Recalling that in the game, Chu Yue's ordinary face could show such a gentle smile, Naoye Kiritani felt a little incredible.
Why? It's such an ordinary face......
Moreover, when I get along with him, I feel extra at ease......
But......
……
"A lot of things, it's better if you still don't know."
……
"Humph! I still don't know what to say, cut ......" Naoba Kiritani snorted unhurriedly, and then sat up from the bed.
Since his brother Kiritani and people woke up, Kiritani Naoba has also begun to learn to cook some food, although he is not skilled yet, but like now, when he is alone at home, he can still take care of himself.
After dinner, he went to take a shower, and Naoba Kiritani returned to his bedroom door.
Kiritani and Naoha's rooms are next to each other. Naoba Kiritani stood at the door of his bedroom and turned his head to look at the door of Kiritani Kazuto's room.
"Brother, come back soon." Naoba Kiritani muttered to himself, then opened his bedroom door and walked in.
After returning to the game, Chu Yue lay on the ground next to him and rested.
"Long wait, boss." Lifa said, "Is there a monster appearing?" ”
"Welcome back, it's okay, nothing happened." Chu Yue said.
"yes, that's good." Lifa said, "Then you log out, don't worry, I will take care of the boss's body, after all, there are still 10,000 Kel on you." ”
"Well, please." Chu Yue said and quit the game.
After Chu Yue quit the game, Lifa approached Chu Yue and stared at Chu Yue's face, as if thinking about something.
However, after just a few seconds of observation, Lifa was attracted by the cat's ears on Chu Yue's head.
Cat elves are like this, with ears on top of their heads and a cat tail behind them.
Because Chu Yue was offline, seeing the cat ears on Chu Yue's head at this time, Lifa swallowed her saliva, and then wanted to reach out and touch the pair of cat ears......
However, at this time, Yui suddenly jumped out, stood between Chu Yue's face and Lifa's face, pointed at Lifa's eyes and said, "What are you going to do to Dad!" ”
"Wow!"
Some of the nerves in their hearts, Lifa, who was nervous, were startled by Yui and fell to the ground on her back.
"I, I, of course...... Of course it's protecting him! Although she found a reason, Lifa was still a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to face Yui squarely after she finished speaking.
"Hmm......" Yui looked at Lifa with some vigilance, obviously not believing Lifa.
At the same time, in real life, Chu Yue's mobile phone rang.
Chu Yue took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, couldn't help but smile, replied to Yui, and continued to cook dinner.
"Alright! Just trust you! Yui retracted her vigilant eyes and movements, and landed on Chu Yue's shoulder.
"You, you, can you move freely when your master is away?!" Lifa breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously.
"Of course, in order to protect my father, I will never be on standby!" Yui said proudly.
"Daddy...... Then again, why do you call it Daddy? Is that what he set? I remember that the private leprechaun was set ......"
"Not really. Because dad is daddy. Yui turned her head and looked at Chu Yue with a look of adoration and said, "You don't know the charm of Dad, he created me and ...... for me Ahem......"
After the words, Yui suddenly realized that she couldn't say it to Lifa, so she continued, "Anyway, I'm Daddy's child. So call Daddy Daddy. ”
"You like Mom and Dad?" Lifa asked suddenly.
"Miss Lifa, how do you become liked?" Yui suddenly asked strangely.
"How?" Lifa was also surprised for a moment, and then blushed and said, "Probably, I always want to be together, and when I am together, my heart beats faster, and the deer bumps into each other or something...... ......."
"It's pretty much the same as the answer on the Internet...... "To be honest, I don't really understand human thoughts like 'like' and 'love', but I do want to be with my dad all the time." ”
However, at this time, Lifa didn't care about the topic itself, but was surprised: a private goblin has such a powerful AI?!
"Well, well...... "Lifa tried to get Yui not to think about it, "after all, you're not a player, so don't worry about it." ”
In the game, Lifa and Yui are chatting, and outside the game-
After Chu Yue quit the game, he made dinner for Shen Wu and himself, and after dinner, he dealt with the email, and then entered the game again.
As soon as Chu Yue entered the game, she heard Yui's voice.
"So, does Miss Lifa have someone you like?"
"I, I don't!" Lifa was a little embarrassed to be asked by Yui, but she also saw Chu Yue wake up, and hurriedly said to Chu Yue: "Old, boss, your personal elf is too smart, right?" ”
"Really?" Chu Yue said, "Yui is very smart, after all, it's my daughter." ”
"Hmm......" Chu Yue actually said this, and Lifa was speechless for a moment.
However, thinking about it, he didn't know anything about Chu Yue at all, and he wasn't ready to tell himself about him, so why bother asking.
"Let's get out as soon as possible." Lifa stood up and visualized her wings.
"Hmm." Chu Yue also stood up.
The road behind is to cross a very high mountain. Because this mountain is higher than the limited flight altitude, it is impossible to fly over, and even if it can fly over, the flight physical strength consumed is not as good as walking through a tunnel.
In the middle of this tunnel there is a neutral city, the name of the city is Luguru, so this tunnel is called the Luguru Cloister, which is also a relatively famous place.
The Luguru cloister is long and consists mainly of four sections.
The first and last section, the road that has just entered and exited the mouth of the tunnel, there are no lights here, and of course there are no monsters, just an ordinary tunnel. Because it's too dark, players generally have to prepare in advance when entering, such as lighting tools, or special magic, etc.
The two sections in the middle are the long bridge of Luguru. The neutral city of Luguru, located in the middle of the Luguru Long Bridge, divides the Luguru Long Bridge into two sections.
The long bridge of Luguru and Luguru are both on the lake in the middle of the Luguru cloister. This lake is said to contain a water dragon, and without the help of the water spirits, falling into the lake means death.
Chu Yue and Lifa had just arrived at the door of the Luguru Corridor, and Lifa suddenly shouted, "It's not good! I forgot! ”
"Huh? Forgot something? Chu Yue asked.
"It's all because I left in too much hurry and forgot to bring a torch!" Lifa said anxiously, "What should I do...... Do you want to go back and get torches? ”
"Do I have to use torches?" Chu Yue asked, "No, can't you?" ”
"Of course, if you don't have a torch, you can't see it inside!" Lifa said.
"For the Wind Elves, that's right." Yui suddenly came out again and said, "But, Dad, don't worry about that. ”
"Huh?" Chu Yue asked, "Why?" ”
"Because Daddy is a cat elf!" Yui explained, "The cat elf's innate skill, "Night Vision", even in a dark place, will not affect the vision, and it also has a combat attribute bonus! ”
"However, the cat elf is a natural skill, not an active skill." Lifa looked helpless and said, "If it's a shadow elf, you can use the active magic "Dark Vision" to help your teammates see the darkness as well......"
Although it sounds like the magic of the Shadow Elves is more useful, in fact, the number of Shadow Elves is very small, because the elves of this race are too weak in combat.
However, the Wind Elves do not have either "night vision" or "dark vision". In the case of only wind spirits, torches or special items must be used.
"Wouldn't it take another day to go back?" Chu Yue said, "That's okay, I'll hold your hand and lead the way." ”
"Huh?!" As soon as Lifa heard this, she immediately stepped back, grabbed her hand, and stared at Chu Yue with a red face.
"Hey......" Chu Yue was speechless for a moment and said, "It's your mistake, right?" I didn't know there was such a tunnel in between. ”
"Yes, yes......" Lifa hesitated for a moment, and finally said loudly with a red face, "Yes, if you dare to do something else, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
"Okay...... "Do I look like someone who does that kind of thing?" ”
"Like!" This word was not said by Lifa, but by Yui......
Chu Yue directly grabbed Yui and said, "When there is no one, I will definitely beat your ass!" ”
"Giggles...... Lifa was amused by the conversation between Chu Yue and Yui, and she was no longer so nervous, and stretched out her hand to Chu Yue and said, "Then, please, Boss Chu Yue." ”
"Don't worry." Chu Yue grabbed Lifa's hand, and the two walked into the dark tunnel together.
Sure enough, Lifa soon became blind and couldn't see anything, she could only feel Chu Yue's hand tightly grasping her hand, guiding her forward.
On Chu Yue's side, she noticed that in the upper left corner of her vision, there was an extra "night vision" buff under her blood bar, and her combat attributes should have also improved.
"Hey...... Boss Chu Yue, are you still there? ”
Because it was so dark, Lifa couldn't help but ask.
"I'm here." Chu Yue replied.
It didn't take long for Lifa to ask again, "Chu Yue?" ”
"I'm here." Chu Yue continued to respond.
Before he had walked long on the road, Lifa asked seven or eight times, and even Lifa herself felt why she was so annoyed, but Chu Yue's answer remained unchanged, and she said patiently: "I'm here." ”
In the end, Lifa couldn't help it and said, "Hey, Chu Yue, let's talk about something, right?" Otherwise, I'm a little scared......"
"It seems that your address to me in the middle has changed from 'boss' to 'Chu Yue'." Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Well, that's because...... It's so dark, isn't it......" Lifa's voice grew quieter.
"Well, it's nothing." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Actually, that's fine, I'm not used to others calling me other names." In particular, 'boss' is such an uncommon name. ”
"Yes, yes......" When Lifa heard this, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then, are you also called Chu Yue in reality?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Yue replied, "I use the same name for my game and reality. ”
"What?!" Thinking she was too surprised, Lifa withdrew her hand.
This Chu Yue, that's that Chu Yue?!
It's the handsome guy who came to visit my brother that day?! That brother's friend?!
Lifa was so surprised, although she only had a one-sided relationship with Chu Yue in reality, but because Chu Yue's long black hair was too conspicuous, and her face was very good-looking, Lifa remembered it at once.
However, who would have thought that this guy would pinch his face so ordinarily in the game!
"What's wrong?" On Chu Yue's side, she still held back a smile, pretending not to know anything, and asked in a curious tone.
"No, it......'s nothing," Lifa couldn't help but put her hands behind her back and shook them, nervously speaking.
"You wouldn't be me, would you?" Chu Yue asked.
"Hmm......" Lifa hesitated for a moment, do you want to tell the truth?
"Looks like so." Chu Yue immediately said again.
Well, it seems that there is no need to hide it anymore.
"Region...... In reality, we should know each other. Lifa said, "As long as it is, Chu Yue...... Sir, you remember my words. ”
"Mr. Chu Yue...... Alas......" Chu Yue sighed and said, "It's even more outward." ”
"Daddy! Oh no! At this moment, Yui suddenly came out again and said to Chu Yue: "Those guys, that team of fire elves seems to be speeding up!" ”
Riffa thought of something instantly.
"Huh? It's not because ...... coincidence," Chu Yue asked.
"It's not!" Lifa interrupted Chu Yue and said, "Damn! Or my mistake! I forgot, this is the best place to kill people who won't run away! ”
Chu Yue understood at once.
The purpose of those twelve fire spirits from the beginning was Chu Yue and Lifa.
Before entering the Luguru Corridor, the two of them were either flying in the sky or resting in the forest, and if they attacked at that time, Chu Yue and Lifa could flee in any direction.
But not here! The Luguru Corridor is a tunnel, and if they attack here again, Chu Yue and Lifa will have nowhere to escape!
"What now?" Chu Yue was actually asking Yui, but because Lifa was full of self-blame at this time, she said before Yui answered: "If you go to Luguru Town, you will be safe...... Let's run! ”
However, just as she was about to run, Lifa realized that she was still "blind"!
"Dad, they're going to catch up right away......" Yui said to Chu Yue.
"Looks like we're going to have to hurry." Chu Yue said, "Then, Miss Lifa, I'm going to offend." ”
"Huh? Wow! Lifa suddenly screamed because she felt that she had been suddenly picked up by a princess.
After Chu Yue picked up Lifa, she immediately continued to move forward.
At this moment, although her eyes were dark, she thought that it was the handsome guy with long black hair who was holding her that day, and Lifa's face was red.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Chu Yue...... It turned out to be Chu Yue!
And, I'm being held like this by him right now......
However, after running for a while, Lifa got used to it, and instead thought about it, who are these fire elves?
Now in ALO, because the fire elves have the strongest combat ability, the fire elf race is the largest and the strongest, and they are also actively preparing for war, wanting to occupy the territory of other races.
There are many rewards for capturing the territory of other races, but it can be a disaster for players and NPCs in the occupied territory.
But what's the use of killing a wind elf and a cat elf for them? Twelve fire spirits were dispatched!
The relationship between the wind elves and the cat elves is very good! If they kill either of us, they will be dissatisfied with the wind elves and the cat elves, and even let the wind elves and cat elves unite against the fire elves!
Thinking like this, but unable to figure it out, Lifa unconsciously found that she was already able to see.
It turned out that Chu Yue had already unknowingly run to the Luguru Long Bridge.
After all, it is a long bridge to a big city, so on both sides of the long bridge, there are fluorescent magic lights illuminated.
However, since you have arrived at the Luguru Long Bridge, it means that Luguru is not far away.
Ahead, you can already see the gates of Luguru, as long as you enter the city, if the fire elves attack, they will be punished by the guards of the town.
"Looks like you can run away." Chu Yue also saw the city gate and said with a smile.
However, just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a long-range magical light suddenly shot out from behind them, flew over their heads, and struck in front of Luguru's city gate.
"Not good! That's an earth-based magic barrier! Lifa, who was being held by Chu Yue, suddenly shouted loudly.
