Although He Yuan was known as the "Sealer" before, this was only circulated among that small group of people, and He Yuan changed the "Night Robe", so no one came to trouble him.

However, the blood-stained novice cloth on He Yuan's body, as well as Asuna's beauty, still attracted a lot of attention.

At this time, He Yuan also realized that his clothes were indeed a little different, and it was indeed time to change them.

At that moment, He Yuan said to Asuna: "Asuna, I'll go find the armor store and buy a few clothes." ”

"Don't you need me along?"

"I think so." Smiling, He Yuan shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the sky: "But you see it's almost dark, if you go with me to find a armor shop, what if there is no room in the hotel at night?" ”

He Yuan's words made Asuna shake her head violently, saying that she didn't feel it when she was in the wild, but as soon as she returned to the town, she didn't take a bath for a few days, which made Asuna panic, and at this time, the big bath in the world was the biggest.

"Haha, haha, then you can go by yourself, and I'll send you a message when I find the hotel." After laughing a few times, Asuna waved her hand and hurriedly ran in the direction of the hotel, for fear that it would be late and there would be no room.

Shaking his head, Asuna like this is really, cute.

So, let's start looking, in order to avoid injury in the future, it seems that we need to prepare a few more sets of clothes.

……

In the dining room, Asuna, who had taken a shower, had already occupied a table, her left elbow resting on the table, and her palm supporting her cheek.

Just now she sent He Yuan the information of the hotel and the location of the restaurant, but He Yuan had just found the armor store to buy clothes, and it would take a while to rush back.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Asuna?"

"Huh?" A deep male voice interrupted Asuna's train of thought, and she quickly turned her head to look.

This is a thin but tall man, although not as tall as Achill, but also half a head taller than He Yuan.

Dressed in a bright red robe, with armor similar to a shoulder helmet on his shoulders and a red cape, his silver-white hair was neatly combed back, revealing a resolute face, and a strand of hair hanging down on his left forehead, but it added a touch of majesty to him.

Of course, what worries Asuna the most is the look in this man's brass pupils and the smile on the corner of his mouth.

That is, like a hunter finding his prey, the confidence and contempt that everything is under control.

This dress, if it weren't for Asuna's confirmation that it was just a sword game, would have thought that this man was the legendary magician.

"I'm Asuna, who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Heathcliff, and I'm the head of the Knights of the Blood Alliance."

"Oh?" Asuna straightened up: "Captain of the Blood Alliance Knights, how did you know about me?" Also, what is the purpose of the group leader looking for me? ”

"Miss Asuna and Mr. He Yuan, the 'cheater', are not low in terms of evaluation among players."

"As for my purpose, Miss Asuna, I would like to ask you to be the deputy head of my Blood Alliance Knights."

Sitting across from Asuna, Heathcliff waved his hand, and a window popped out of Asuna's face.

Asuna frowned, and reached out to close this guild invitation message.

"Mr. Heathcliff, since you know that I am with He Yuan, you should know that I can't agree, right?"

"Miss Asuna, do you think it's really good for you to follow him like this?"

"What do you mean, Mr. Heathcliff?"

Asuna's fingers stopped, and she asked coldly.

……

When He Yuan came to Asuna's restaurant, he happened to look at Heathcliff.

"What is that? Akihiko Kayaba? Looking at the back of Heathcliff in the distance, He Yuan frowned, what was the reason that made Kayaba Jinghiko decide to end now?

Shaking his head, I can't figure out the things, so I don't think about it, anyway, I just need to become stronger and become stronger than the final boss of this game.

It didn't take much time, He Yuan saw Asuna contemplative in front of the window, ran over in a few steps, and smiled: "I'm sorry, Asuna, I'm late, it took some time to find a armor store." ”

"Huh?"

Asuna was awakened by He Yuan's voice, and waved her hand again and again: "It's okay." ”

"Haven't you called something yet?"

"Well, I want to wait for He Yuan to eat together."

"Hehe, let's start barking."

"Oh yes, Asuna, it's Christmas in a few days, are you ready to spend it?"

"Christmas......"

On November 1, 2022, Sword Art Online officially began operation, and 10,000 players were caught in this game of death.

On December 3, Diabel held a strategy meeting.

On December 4th, many players successfully conquered the first layer of the boss Kobold Lord Ilfang.

On December 9th, He Yuan and Asuna raided the second-layer BOSS Taurus King Asterus.

From December 9th to 11th, He Yuan was in a state of exhaustion, and when he woke up, he was left behind by Asuna due to his incomprehension of the amorous feelings, and he was starved for two days.

On the night of December 11, the two met Argo, an intelligence merchant, and promised to collect information on the monster for Argo.

After that, the two spent five days penetrating the southern end of Zmford and informing Argo of the monster.

Today, it's December 21, and three days are Christmas Eve and four days are Christmas.

Asuna was in a trance, but she didn't expect that more than a month had passed inadvertently.

"He Yuan, someone just came to me."

"Someone looking for you?" He Yuan frowned, and the figure in the bright red robe flashed in his heart: "Who is that?" What are you looking for? ”

"It's a man named Heathcliff, and he says he's the head of the Knights of the Blood Alliance."

"Sure enough, it's him." A shadow flashed in his heart, He Yuan didn't know how much Kayaba Jinghiko knew about him, but as a god in "Sword Art Online", unless he deliberately didn't check He Yuan's data, He Yuan's existence couldn't be hidden from him at all.

And since Kayaba Jinghiko decided to end up now, he must have noticed He Yuan's abnormality, right?

However, he was really cautious enough not to contact He Yuan personally, but to contact Asuna, who was close to He Yuan.

Although in the original book, Asuna herself is a member of the Blood Alliance Knights, and once served as the deputy head of the Blood Alliance Knights, after the Heathcliff vest was recognized, Asuna was the only pillar of the Blood Alliance Knights.

"So Asuna, what do you think?"

Shaking her head, Asuna ignored He Yuan's question, and instead asked He Yuan a question.

"He Yuan, can you seriously answer me a question?"
