Tilberu followed up and explained: "This crystal was given to me by a subordinate, according to him, this is a task item, and after completion, you can learn a very powerful skill, he tried to do it himself, but failed, so he gave this crystal to me." ”

Xia Qian nodded knowingly.

The cloister crystal is indeed a very valuable treasure, but it is not enough to make Tilberu happy.

You must know that now the [Ayn Grant Liberation Army] includes more than half of the players, as long as Xia Qianshi gives an order, let alone the cloister crystal, even if it is a more precious treasure than this, he can completely get it.

It's just that he doesn't want to.

But if the crystal is related to a mission, it is not the same.

Missions in SAO are very rare, but each mission has an absolute reward.

What's more, this task also uses cloister crystals as mission props, and the final reward is bound to be very rich.

To be able to hand over this crystal to him without hesitation is enough to show Tilberu's loyalty.

Xia Qianshi clicked on the cloister crystal, and in the lilac information box that was pulled out, the destination of this cloister crystal was marked, a place called 'Land of Trials'.

The Land of Trials...... It sounds like a risky place, and I'm afraid it's not easy to accomplish this task.

But Xia Qianshi has no intention of backing down, he is a person who likes to challenge in his bones, and too simple tasks will make him lack interest and motivation.

"What to do, are you going?"

The cloister crystal reflected a faint blue light in the sunlight, and there was a breathtaking sense of strangeness, and Asuna felt uneasy in her heart, and muttered, "I always feel that the origin of this crystal is somewhat unreliable." ”

Tilberu said unhappily, "Miss Asuna, I can guarantee that my subordinate will be absolutely loyal!" ”

"But ......"

"You two don't have to fight." Xia Qianshi interrupted: "Regardless of whether this mission is dangerous or not, it's not a big deal to take a look, it's a big deal that I can escape back with a teleportation crystal." ”

“……”

Now Asuna is speechless, the teleportation crystal can be used even in a combat state, as long as there is a teleportation crystal on the body, then no matter how great the danger is, you can also teleport back safely.

So theoretically, there will never be a security issue.

But even so, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, but where this uneasiness came from, she couldn't tell for a while.

At this time, Xing said: "If Lord Xia Qianshi wants to do a mission, then what should I do with the next boss strategy battle?" ”

Yesterday, the strategy team had already found the boss room at the top of the maze, if nothing else, Xia Qianshi should lead the strategy team to test the boss today-

Speaking of which, I have to mention the way to attack the boss now.

Since the closed beta players have been to the 20th floor during the closed beta period, the bosses of the first 20 floors only need to follow the data provided by the closed beta players.

But not after 20 floors.

Since dying in the game will actually lose life, players will perform more than 4 tentative battles before the actual boss is attacked.

It is not until the boss's skills and general attributes are tested that the official strategy battle will be launched.

Tilberu beat his chest with one hand and made a knightly salute, and said angrily: "Tempting the boss such a thing, why bother Lord Xia Qianshi, just leave it to me." ”

"Then I'm bothering you." Xia Qianshi nodded.

Tilberu is a very reliable person, and his command ability is not inferior to him at all, not to mention that if he is just testing the boss, there is no danger at all.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go on a mission first." Xia Qianshi glanced at the documents piled up like a small mountain, and there was some impatience in his tone.

"A thousand things!" Asuna looked worried.

"Asuna, don't worry about me, if I can't complete this task, then no one in the whole game will be able to complete it."

Xia Qianshi showed a confident smile at Asuna, and then took out the cloister crystal and confirmed its use.

Asuna looked at Xia Qianshi, whose body was gradually disappearing in the blue light, and suddenly wanted to reach out and grab it, but in the end she only grabbed a piece of air.

At this moment, even Xing couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and said: "Miss Asuna, I think you are really worried too much, since this task will appear on the 50th floor, it proves that with the player's current strength, it should be possible to complete it...... Even if this task is difficult and perverted, Lord Xia Qianshi can also use the teleportation crystal to come back. ”

“…… I hope so. ”

Asuna knew that Xing's words were right, but she always had a premonition in her heart, an ominous premonition that she would never see Xia Qianshi again......

In order to dispel the uneasiness in her heart, after waiting for a while, she sent a text message to Xia Qianshi.

However, this text message was like a stone in the sea, and Asuna waited for most of the hour, and Asuna did not receive any reply.

"Maybe you're in a special area and can't receive text messages? Or maybe the task is too tight and you don't have time to reply? Yuki guessed.

“…… I hope so. ”

Asuna still replied like this, but she couldn't help but think in her heart: if there is a special zone where you can block player text messages, will there be a special zone that prohibits transmission?

Although this has never happened before, it cannot be ruled out.

At this moment, Asuna's heart was filled with gloom.

For a whole morning, Xia Qianshi did not come back.

But no matter how worried they were, the guild was going to go on as usual.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tilberu gathered an elite team of 48 people, ready to go to the maze layer to test the boss.

Asuna didn't participate, and she couldn't be relieved, so she decided to go to the [Resurrection Room] in the Black Iron Palace to have a look.

Ironically, the Resurrection Room was supposed to be a place for players to resurrect after death, but after SAO became a death game, a huge metal monument was erected in the Resurrection Room.

The names of all players are recorded on this metal tablet, and when a player dies, the player's name is crossed out - like a life-slicing knife, indicating that the player is dead......

Death is born in the place of birth, and this room has an indescribable sense of horror, and although it is often illuminated by the sun, it seems that there are always dead souls floating inside.

Asuna is actually a girl who is very afraid of ghosts, and if she is in normal times, she will definitely stay away from such places.

But now, without hesitation, she came to the [Resurrection Room].

The metal tablet is five meters high, and the black words on it are cold records of the loss of life......

Eric - Cause of Death: Falling from a height.

Chillip – Cause of Death: Hit by a wild boar and killed.

Vivien – Cause of Death: Died in a desert storm.

……

Although there are no details, just looking at the lines on it makes Asuna feel suffocated that she can't breathe.

10,000 names is quite a lot of words.

Asuna didn't dare to relax, and her eyes were very focused on patrolling, even if it was a pre-exam review, she had never been so serious as she was now.

At one point, her pupils widened as her eyes swept over a name, and she staggered a few steps backwards and fell to the ground.

"God...... It can't be, right...... Why did he die?! ”
