"He Yuan, did you already know that the labyrinth area of the third layer is not at the southern end of Zmfoort at all?"

"Hmm."

"That's right." With her head down, Asuna closed her eyes.

"However, because I willfully agreed to Argo's request, He Yuan deliberately chose the forest at the southern end, wasting time with me to collect information on monsters."

"Obviously, I said that I would not do He Yuan's burden, but what I am doing now is not only He Yuan's burden, but also a heavier burden."

"Asuna, you're not a burden, and it's not a burden to collect information on monsters for Argo......"

Sitting opposite Asuna, He Yuan sighed, it seemed that Heathcliff had instilled some ideas in Asuna, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, he has a criminal record, and if he wants to say something comforting, he can only make himself appear more hypocritical.

"I hope Asuna is always happy, since gathering information for Argo will make Asuna happy, then, what I do is meaningful, it's not a burden."

"He Yuan is still so gentle."

"However, this makes me feel that I am too selfish, this is just imposing my wish on He Yuan, and He Yuan's wish has been forgotten by me......"

"My wish?"

He Yuan was stunned for a moment, what else is his wish except to penetrate Sword Art Online and get back the main god of "THE SEED"?

"Well, I know, I've always known." Asuna raised her right hand, wiped away her tears, and smiled.

"When I was on the first floor, once He Yuan fell asleep, I heard ......"

"On the first floor? Labyrinth area? ”

He Yuan pondered for a moment, according to Asuna, what did he dream about, and then said the dream words, right?

After all, I was emotionally fluctuating at the time, and it was not strange to dream when I slept.

"So, what was I thinking about in my dreams at that time?"

In my mind, countless images flashed, and finally, I stayed at the image of Asuna holding a thin sword and facing the boss heroically.

In his mouth, he also muttered his original dream.

"Asuna, I want to be by your side and fight with you all the time......"

……

The conversation with Kirito also aroused He Yuan's thoughts, and in his heart, a warm heat rose, making He Yuan not vomit unpleasantly.

"Ah~~"

The sword in his hand slashed at the monster in front of him again, there was no idea of hiding his strength, and the figure flickered, and the monster in front of him was like fireworks, "Woo hoo".

And Kirito on the side was also taken aback by He Yuan's sudden burst of power.

The current Kirito has a level of up to forty, although he doesn't dare to say that he is the first, but Kirito is also confident that he is definitely the strongest group.

However, seeing that the monster that he needed to release his skills to kill in seconds couldn't hold two swords in He Yuan's hands at all, Kirito was still very surprised.

Because, He Yuan's sword body did not have the light of skills attached.

In other words, He Yuan's ordinary attack has half the damage of his skill attack, which is more than ten times that of his ordinary attack.

"Mr. He Yuan, it's really strong, outrageous."

Getting up from the ground and patting his pants, Kirito reflexively went into the woods.

"Looks like I'm going to work hard."

……

20th floor, labyrinth area.

A dwarf figure in a crimson cloak is battling the monsters in the labyrinth.

The thin sword in his hand, like a meteor, every time he makes a move, there are three or four sword shadows, although he is one against three, but he also seems to be at ease.

From time to time, the skill light that permeated the sword body would light up, and a monster would be killed and dissipated into blue shards.

"Phew!"

With the death of the last monster, the cloaked man silently put away his sword, took out a black bread from his backpack, took out a small bottle, clicked it, and put the light in his hand on the black bread.

Butter bread.

"Why haven't I seen you after all these days? Where the hell have you been? ”

In the dark labyrinth, there was the sound of chewing.

"Whew~~"

Slowly eating the brioche bread, the Cloaked Man exhaled, and eventually, he turned off the system bar and gave up the idea of sending emails.

Moreover, the break, it is over.

So, let's start fighting!

"Peace of mind, He Yuan, the day when we fight side by side will not be too far away......"

……

Time always sneaks away inadvertently.

In a blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and now, it is May 2023.

In the past two months, there seems to be something wrong with the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and they have not participated in the boss's strategy.

The "Knight" Guild, under the leadership of Diabel, plus some well-known casual players, has successively conquered the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd floor bosses in two months, and it has been in the limelight for a while.

However, casualties have also appeared, and they are now recuperating.

Another well-known guild, the "Ayn Grant Liberation Army", seems to be organizing its manpower and preparing to return to the front again.

For a moment, the whole of Ayn Grant seemed to have fallen into a certain fanatical atmosphere.

……

On the twenty-second floor of Ayn Grant, a hut surrounded by forests and lakes, Asuna was preparing something.

In the distance, He Yuan walked towards the hut with a fishing rod and a small bucket, and inside the bucket, it seemed that a few fish were fluttering, splashing the water in the bucket to the ground.

"Forest House", this is the place with the best scenery in the entire Ain Grant, except for the 47th floor of the "Flower Garden", and it is also the place where Kirito and Asuna live in the original book.

But now, this place has been bought by He Yuan, and it belongs to He Yuan's territory.

"I'm back."

Resting the fishing rod by the door, He Yuan pushed the door open.

"Asuna, is the meal ready? I'm going to starve to death. ”

"It's already possible." On the side of the cottage facing the lake, is the kitchen.

Asuna wore an apron and brought the steaming dish to the table.

"Huh? He Yuan, you actually caught such a big fish today? It can't be the old man who sent you, right? ”

Seeing that there were fish in the bucket He Yuan was carrying, he asked in surprise.

For He Yuan's slight abnormality, Asuna has long been surprised.

For example, meat roasted with a torch and fish caught with a fishing rod.

The former, no matter how fragrant it smells, turns into a "charred barbecue" once clicked.

And the latter, even if He Yuan catches a one-meter-sized fish, it will become a "small fry" after clicking.

At first, Asuna was surprised for a while, but recently she has gotten used to it.

"How is that possible?" Rolling his eyes, He Yuan put down the bucket and sat down at the table: "You don't look at who I am, am I the kind of person who will ask for other people's things for nothing?" ”
