Chapter 256: A Hometown That Has Changed Its Appearance
Yang Han and Icarus arrived at a small izakaya.
It can't be helped, because the place they live in now is a residential area, and they have to walk some distance to see the shops around. If it were another magical world, he might be able to fly two steps, but after two years of inactivity, he still has a sense of reluctance to walk a certain distance to eat.
The two casually ordered three dishes, namely fried squid whiskers, flavored seaweed and eel rice, and Yang Han asked for some sake, and a meal of ordinary food that could never be enjoyed in SAO was complete.
After they are full of wine and food, it stands to reason that the two of them will have nothing to do in this world, and they are ready to go back and forth to the original world. However, I don't know if it's because I've drunk a little drunk, Yang Han actually remembered that there is still someone who still hasn't been dealt with yet, and that is Asuna!
After the SAO Raiders ended, Asuna was trapped in the world of ALO due to the conspiracy of Shinyuki Sugo, and was imprisoned in a cage at the top of the World Tree as the princess of the Fairy King, Titania. In short, she didn't return to the real world, and if this matter is not solved, who will save her if she doesn't become a lover with Kirito in SAO?
Thinking of this, Yang Han's heart moved, and the Transformation of the Illusory God Seed hidden in the Divine Source Space immediately trembled. It is the most critical thing to set up a virtual world, Yang Han released his mind to control the phantom god seed and took back all the construction permissions that exist in this world, and when he turned around, he lost the guidance of a certain law, and all the virtual stealth games in this world derived from SAO suddenly collapsed.
At the same time, the world of ALO, where Asuna was imprisoned, was immediately out of everyone's control, and countless players were forcibly ejected from the game one after another, including Asuna.
Immediately afterwards, in the VIP ward of the municipal hospital at 1711 Higashitokorozawa, Saitama Tokorozawa City, Japan, the girl woke up leisurely, looking at the empty ward, and seemed to understand the situation at all. The girl's weak body moved, and she couldn't stand up immediately, so she just lay on the hospital bed, gritted her teeth and said in a weak voice: "Sugo Nobuyuki ......"
"She can take care of Asuna's troubles herself! Oh, Icarus, it's almost time for us to go. Yang Han stretched after reopening his eyes, it was two years after coming out in the blink of an eye, although the original world was still just a few days, but his body was about to grow five years older than Huihui.
"Okay, msater." Icarus was as obedient as ever, and followed Yang Han to stand up and walk towards the door of the izakaya.
It's just that when the two of them opened the curtain and went out, there was no shadow of Yang Han on the street, and there was no one in the izakaya. Only Icarus silently walked in the direction of home, because Yang Han had already teleported away.
…………
Leaving the world of Sword Art Domain silently, Yang Han did not alarm anyone. Stepping back into the corridor through the tunnel, the surrounding environment has become less novel, giving Yang Han the feeling of walking. In the colorful space-time corridor, he floated leisurely for a while, and after going around to the world of "Blessings for a Beautiful World", he dived into it.
Popping out of the tunnel mouth, Yang Han did not land, and after she had not used magic for a long time, she became familiar with the surrounding magic elements, and then used the flying magic again to choose a direction and leave. It wasn't the first time he had come home from an unfamiliar place, so he decided to look for a nearby town again, ask for directions to Axel the way he had done before, and go home.
However, as he walked, he felt more and more that the atmosphere around him was wrong.
Flying out of the forest, there are some desolate areas in sight, Yang Han thought that he had come to a certain Gobi region, but he saw a small city in the distance!
This is a bit strange to say, when did this continent become so barren? I have to live next door when I have a fertile place to live? Thinking like this, Yang Han slowly descended from above, but before he could land, he saw a magical attack attacking him.
"So unfriendly!?" Yang Han was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand out of thin air, using several wind blades to break the incoming attacks one by one. Taking advantage of the gap after this counterattack, he also landed.
"Strange, strange! It's not a demon? ”
"No, the high-level demons are all humanoid, you see him dressed so strangely, he is definitely not human!" Before Yang Han, who fell to the ground, could speak, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of people. They whispered, but they couldn't escape Yang Han's ears.
The people around him looked at Yang Han unkindly, as if they were thinking about killing him. Although Yang Han was not afraid of the malicious eyes of these people, he was attracted by some words between their words.
"What are you talking about, demons? Did they show up again? Yang Han frowned and stared at a muscular man with a stubble on his face at the head of the group and asked.
"You're not human! It's been three years since the demons returned, and you actually pretend that you don't know anything, and you are a ghost? The big man clutched the ghost head big knife in his hand with both hands, but he didn't immediately step forward to attack Yang Han. Although his tone was not good, a close look in his eyes showed that he was frightened. The people around me are like this, and they seem to be scared tightly.
All kinds of thoughts in Yang Han's mind came out of thin air, making his always calm mind a little flustered, he was sure that what he had returned to was definitely the world of "Blessings for a Better World", so now that there is only one explanation for the current development, there is a problem with the timeline here! It's not what I expected, the Sword Art Online World has been in the past two years, and it's been two or three days here.
"Axel, that's right! Which of you tells me where Axel is? Also, there's this, I'm an adventurer, and this is my adventurer card. He was uneasy, but Yang Han still tried his best to calm down and understand the current situation. He quickly pulled out a card from the golden ripples around him, and displayed it in front of the group of people in front of him.
Time is urgent, Yang Han has no heart to hide the treasure of the gods, and there is no need, but the golden thing represents light, which is an ability that ninety percent of demons cannot have, and it can also make these people believe in themselves a little more.
To be precise, his approach was effective, and after seeing the ripples of golden light, the frightened crowd calmed down a bit, but still no one went to pick up Yang Han's things, but said directly: "Axel? You mean Suqing City, right? ”
"Suqing City...... That's right, it's Suqing City, which used to be called Axel, right? Can you tell me the location of Suqing City? Although Yang Han was puzzled, but the name of the city was the same as his family's Suqing Pavilion, it must be related to Huihui and them, he was a little relieved when he thought so, this name was there, at least it could prove that they still had a good chance of living.
However, before Yang Han could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the big man look at him strangely, and then replied viciously: "Damn demon, the disguise is very good!" But do you know where this is? This is Suqing City! ”
