"Hey, Brother Alier."

On the island full of large tree branches, a young man in blue breastplate and holding a spear in his hand looked around and said, "We have also been to the Black Iron Palace, and the names of the three missing people have been crossed out, obviously dead, why didn't Lord Asuna directly explain it to the people of the Chamber of Commerce, and still want us to come here to investigate?" ”

"Shut up Brian."

He was stopped by a tall man with a one-handed sword and shield.

After the man named Ali Erle stopped Brian, he quickly turned his head and apologized to the old men behind him: "I'm sorry, Lord Dennis, Lord Pollitt, Brian ......"

"No, it's fine."

The old man in the lead pressed the brim of the hat on his head and said in a low voice: "It's not Brian's fault, it's us who asked for secrecy." ”

"After all, this kind of thing should not be publicized until the truth is ascertained."

"This kind of thing?"

Brian was puzzled and scratched the back of his head: "Brother Ali, what the hell is going on?" I know what you're saying, but why can't I understand it? ”

"Brian ......"

"Alright, Aliel."

A fat old man who walked beside the leader narrowed his eyes and interrupted Ali Er's snort at Brian.

"I've come here, so it doesn't matter if I told him, right? Dennis? ”

"Theoretically, I'm not against that." The old man shook his head and said, "Among the 'Blood Alliance Knights', the one I admire the most is Asuna's little girl, since the two of them are personally asked by Asuna 'Flash', then there is no problem." ”

"Oh, oh, Dennis, I thought the one you admired the most was the one named Heathcliff." The fat old man covered his mouth and chuckled: "I didn't expect me to have a time when I lost my eyes." ”

"Hmph."

Dennis pressed down the brim of his hat again: "That little imp named Heathcliff......"

"That, two adults......

Ali raised his hand and wanted to say something, whether it was Asuna or Hizcliffe, they were both high-level members of the Blood Alliance Knights, and they were arranged like this, and it was not good for them not to say anything as a subordinate.

Of course, as far as he is concerned, he also feels that his head Heathcliff is indeed inferior to Asuna except that his strength is stronger than Asuna.

After all, it was the maroon-haired girl who was at the forefront of the Blood Alliance Knights who managed the Blood Alliance Knights and fought with them at the forefront.

Among Sword Art Online, the most shining "flash" Asuna.

"Okay, back to business."

Ali's actions were obviously not without effect, at least, Dennis didn't continue.

"The three people who came here yesterday are as powerless as we are, but they have also hired two players who are above level forty to escort them."

"You two and we have been here from Panareze, so we must have a general idea of how dangerous this place is, right?"

"Hmm."

Ali Err nodded: "The monsters in this layer have basically been cleaned up, and the level of the monsters that are occasionally refreshed will not exceed level 30, and if there are two players above level 40 to guard, there will be absolutely no problem." ”

"That's right."

Fat Old Man Pollitt Interface: "When we found out that the names of the three of them were dimmed from the friends column, we immediately contacted the friends of the two guards to find out what was going on. ”

"However, the names of those two guards are also in a dim state."

"A group of five people, and the monsters here can't threaten them, but they're all dead."

"In other words, this is a malicious incident." Dennis said in a deep voice: "It's PK, intentional homicide." ”

“PK？” As soon as the young man named Brian let go of his hand, his spear fell to the ground, and he made a "bell" sound, and stammered: "Therefore, intentional killing, murder? ”

……

"Oh? Look, I think I've heard something terrible. ”

"Who?"

The sudden hoarse voice made Ali Yal give up the idea of comforting Brian, and he pulled out the one-handed sword at his waist with a "bang", and shouted loudly with the shield in his left hand towards the place where the voice came from.

The eyes of the seven people in the group were also fixed in the direction where the voice came.

"Rub ......"

In the quiet environment, the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the fallen leaves on the ground made everyone's nerves tense.

One, two, three......

Call......

A cool breeze blows, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and dancing with the petals in the air, and the petals and fallen leaves after the rain reflect colorful rainbow light from time to time.

However, this beautiful scenery made Ali Er's party break out in a cold sweat.

Around them, eight figures in black cloaks appeared, surrounding them.

"Sure enough, yesterday we Chamber of Commerce Brooke and the other five died, you did it, right?"

Although he also broke out in a cold sweat, Dennis, who was sent out as a "bait" by the Chamber of Commerce, still asked very calmly.

"If you're talking about the five people from yesterday, you're right." The same voice, from the cloaked man in front of Ali Er, without any emotional fluctuations, made people feel goosebumps when they heard it.

"Why? Why PK? Why kill? At this moment, Brian, who had just been frightened and his weapons fell to the ground, suddenly crossed over to Ali and roared at the cloaked man who spoke.

“PK？ Homicide? ”

The cloaked man in front of Ariel stepped forward slowly and said in a hoarse voice, "According to the creator of this world, Kayaba Akihiko, this is a game of death. ”

"Huh!"

A red sword shadow protruded from the cloaked man's waist and slashed across Brian's chest.

"Uh~"

Brian, who didn't react at all, opened his mouth wide and his pupils constricted.

A cold sensation spread from the wound throughout his body, and suddenly, he fell to his knees in front of the cloaked man. The unwavering voice of the cloaked man was heard.

"Since it's a death game, isn't it natural to kill people?"

"Damn it, Brian......"

Aliel lunged out with his sword and shield in hand, forcing the cloaked man back, shielding Brian behind him.

"It's really chilling." At this time, even the fat old man Pollitt, who had always been kind to people, was no longer smiling.

"I have always been grateful to the players of the strategy group who are fighting on the front line to save people."

"So when Old Man Nehmeyah contacted us and asked us to contribute our modest part to ensure their logistics, we stepped forward."

"However, I didn't expect that among the people who were protected by the raider team, there would still be inhumane scum like you."
