Chapter 42: The Demon King

As soon as Vashak left, there was no suspense in the ensuing battle.

Although the 10 people on the guild's side are all scumbags, they can also play a role in indiscriminately filling the numbers, so as not to let Xia Qianshi fall into a siege.

Coupled with Xia Qianshi, who was eyeing him, and Asuna, who borrowed a thin sword, the 10 men in black had no chance of winning at all, so they chose to turn around and run.

In the following pursuit battle, Xia Qianshi and the others captured 8 people, and after some questioning, they didn't ask for important information, so they decided to lock them up in the Black Iron Palace.

The escort was personally led by Xia Qianshi, which was also a helpless thing.

In the battle just now, only 5 out of 10 people on your side dared to resist, and three of them were girls!

The remaining 5 boys are either holding their heads and squatting, or shouting and scurrying around, they are simply a group of rabble!

If they let them escort this group of vicious people, I am afraid that they will let the other party run away.

But after all, they are only life professional players, and it is already remarkable that they can show the courage to resist.

Thinking of this, Xia Qianshi smiled approvingly at them: "You guys are doing well. ”

This kind of tone of encouragement from the boss to his subordinates was not disobedient when Xia Qianshi said it, and the others didn't feel anything wrong.

This is not only because Xia Qianshi is the guild leader, but more importantly, he has established his prestige in the battle just now.

Although he was still afraid of Xia Qianshi because of his murder before, after confirming that the other party was not dead, the identity of the 'murderer' no longer existed, and all that remained was the worship of the life-saving benefactor.

Xing Wenyan tightened the spear in his hand.

She wanted to say, 'You gave me this courage,' but just as she mustered up the courage to speak, Xia Qianshi had already turned her head to talk to Asuna.

Asuna: "I'm grateful for saving me, but then again, how did you find me?" ”

Xia Qianshi: "This is a long story......

Asuna: "Then you'll make a long story short! ”

"......" Xia Qianshi: "I broke the stone and came out of the mountain today, and as soon as I returned to the guild, I received a message from Tilberu, saying that we have two leveling teams that have been attacked, and I heard that you are also taking a team to brush materials, so I came over to take a look if I was a little worried...... As for why we were able to find you, weren't we friends? Friends are shown with special icons on the map. ”

"We're not the only one attacked?" Asuna was surprised: "What about the others, did they cause any casualties?" ”

"Nope." Xia Qianshi shook his head and said, "Kirito and other masters went to support in time, and there are no masters like Washak in those attack teams......"

"Wait!" Asuna interrupted, "How do you know there are no casualties?" Did Tilberu report to you just now? ”

"No, the results of those teams came out before I came."

That is to say...... A thousand things, you come out of the mountains and return to the guild; Tilberu then sends you a message that the guild has been attacked, but by this time the attack has been resolved; And then you came to me because you were worried...... Is this the order? ”

"That's right."

"That's weird...... Asuna frowned, "if they really want to attack the guild, shouldn't they have carefully prepared in advance and then attacked at the same time?" Why did you deliberately leave my team behind? ”

"And when you first appeared, I remember that the man said, 'I've been waiting for you for a long time,' and immediately surrounded you with 10 men in black, it was like waiting for you to come."

Xia Qianshi said: "You mean to say that their real target is me? ”

"I don't know." Asuna shook her head, "And I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that Vashak doesn't really want to kill me...... And his last words, which also made me very concerned. ”

"The 'brave' certainly refers to you, but the 'demon king' may not refer to himself."

……

"I agree with Asuna."

When they came up again, the location had switched to a church house that was temporarily used as a conference room.

Xia Qianshi, Asuna, Kirito, Tilberu, and Achill are all there, and it is Tilberu who speaks at this time.

"In the game where the protagonist is a brave man, the demon king exists as the final boss, as long as the demon king is defeated, then the game is counted as a clearance, which is a truth that anyone understands; However, even if we defeat Vashak and destroy the Coffin of the Smiling Smile, will the game be cleared? Not really, so I don't think the Demon King is referring to himself. ”

Xia Qianshi said: "But the clearance condition of this game is to clear the 100th floor, so the demon king in his mouth is the boss of the 100th floor?" ”

"No, there is another possibility......" Kirito opened his mouth and spit out a name with a complicated expression: "Kayaba Akihiko...... He is fully qualified to become a demon king. ”

“——!”

Because of the appearance of this name, the entire conference room instantly fell silent, not only because of the fear of the other party's previous crimes, but also because of the fear of the future of the entire guild.

What should Kayaba Akihiko do if they were to deal with their guild?

"You don't have to be so pessimistic, right?"

At this time, Achill raised his hand to speak, and among the five people present, this bald man was the most mature and steady, and he said slowly in a tone that was so thick that it was reassuring:

"I don't think it's necessarily Akihiko Kayaba, because if it were him, there would be no need to take such small measures and attack us directly from the rules of the system, it should be more convenient and effective."

"Even if it's him, there's no way we're going to dissolve the guild because of this." Xia Qianshi concluded: "This matter ends here, no matter how much we guess, there is no result, it is more important to focus on the things in front of us." ”

"Indeed." Tilberu nodded, and said to Xia Qianshi with a solemn face: "Although there are only three teams that have been attacked this time, they have had a very bad impact in the guild, and if they can't be dealt with in time, there will be endless troubles. ”

"Wouldn't this kind of thing be solved by holding a commendation meeting?"

Xia Qianshi said disapprerovingly: "Commend those players who dare to resist, publicize their deeds, and then say to the people who eat melons, 'Look, it's nothing to do when our guild is attacked by murderers, how safe is it', in this way, I'm afraid that no one will join?" Of course, the protection of guild members should also be further strengthened. ”

After saying these words, Xia Qianshi raised his head, and suddenly found that everyone was looking at him with strange faces, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing ......"

The four of Tilberu were in a very complicated mood, which was originally a headache for them, but when it came to Xia Qianshi, it was always solved lightly.

Although I can't say jealousy, there is always a feeling of being hit......

Xia Qianshi didn't ask, but fell into deep thought-

He had a feeling that the demon king in Vashak's mouth might be the 'evil' he was going to face on this trip to the plane......
