"Outsiders?" A petite figure dressed in black samurai armor sits in front of a small shrine tablet in an extremely serious, formal kneeling position, with a katana wrapped in a pitch-black scabbard lying horizontally on his knees.

The other party stretched out his hands and folded his hands to make a prayer action, and after feeling the breath of Anyi, he looked at the location where Anyi was sneaking vigilantly, and said in a crisp voice with some immature female voices, but he didn't expect that it was still a little girl under the armor.

Anyi's current stealth proficiency can be said to be quite high, but the result was seen through by this girl in an instant, the original hidden data as high as 97 instantly fell to a negative number, and the red exclamation mark that was seen through instantly filled the field of vision, and in desperation, Anyi could only cancel the stealth state.

appeared in front of her generously: "Friend, definitely a friend." ”

"Humans? Adventurer? After confirming the identity of the comer, the handle of the knife that was originally held slowly loosened the tight armored right hand, I don't know why the natives of Ayn Grandtree have a relatively high level of friendliness towards players like him, although it has not reached the level of welcome, but there will definitely be no rejection or even attack as soon as they meet.

"Human, what are you doing here?" The petite girl wearing closed armor was silent for a moment, put down the sword, and said in a deep voice, while speaking, the other party seemed to want to stand up, but because of the size of the petite and elementary school students and the heavy armor, plus the same position was maintained for too long, she didn't get up at once, and stood up tremblingly and sat back again, and the armor collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

“……”

The scene was very delicate for a while, and An Yi turned his head understandingly and said casually: "Because I was curious to see a powerful swordsman sitting here alone, I came to ask if Your Excellency has any troubles?" ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I heard An Yi say the words "powerful swordsman", the other party's helmet moved slightly, and he seemed a little excited.

"Ahem...... "Ahem" finally regained his center of gravity, and the petite swordsman of the Taidao Envoy finally stood up in armor: "It really makes you laugh, because I don't usually wear this costume, so I don't get used to it, in fact, as a swordsman, I am more used to fighting lightly." ”

I see, no wonder it stands to reason that even if the size factor is used, if you are used to wearing it, you will not make such an oolong, it seems that it is indeed not suitable for this kind of armor.

However, it is true that this body type is not suitable for wearing this kind of heavy armor, but rather a simpler leather armor.

SAO is an online game, even if it is very similar to reality, but there are some physical laws that are different, for example, the attributes of the armor are to speak with data, although the heavy armor is a little stronger in defense, but there will also be AGI punishment correction accordingly, as for the leather armor because of the data, theoretically a knight's plate armor and light leather armor, as long as the attributes are the same, then the effect of defense is exactly the same, so the swordsman of the attack speed flow generally does not choose heavy armor.

"Oh? Is there a reason why Your Excellency is dressed like this? Mind if I find out? An Yi asked in surprise, and sure enough, the originally dim exclamation mark on the top of the other party's head gradually turned golden.

"Hmm...... This is the story of my family, and I advise adventurers that you better not understand, because it is a curse. The petite swordsman was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"If you really dare to face your fears, then I will tell you what happened."

Bite! The system's faint sound effect sounded, and the moment the girl said this, the exclamation mark on her head completely lit up, which also meant that the task was ready to be taken.

"I want to hear about it." An Yi smiled with satisfaction.

Then, hearing An Yi's choice, the petite swordsman seemed to be a little stunned, then nodded, bowed his head slightly and reached out to take off his helmet.

"Whoa—"

When the helmet of the original demon mask was removed, what was revealed was a bright golden long hair, which was stretched out like gold, dazzling, and the fair skin that could be broken by blowing seemed to be slightly reddened because of wearing the helmet for a long time, like a young apple.

The delicate facial features the size of a palm, the pink little mouth pursed slightly, and gently opened and exhaled, which is definitely a fanatical scene for some special people with strange habits.

The fair skin and the slightly pointy and slender ears hidden under the blonde hair all prove that this guy is a forest elf, and of course, the most striking thing is her purple crystal eyes, those big eyes seem to glow with a little starlight, as if the eyes that have lost focus look at Anyi, as mysterious and deep as the starry sky, full of a wordless temptation.

It seemed that because An Yi's gaze was too presumptuous, her long ears were slightly red, her ears trembled, and her fingers kept stirring the long golden hair on her chest, pretending to be calm: "Woo...... Woo Rite! What are you looking at! ”

"I'm sorry, because I'm curious you're an elf." An Yi smiled apologetically: "However, even in terms of the age of the elves, you are relatively young, right?" Why did you become a sword envoy? ”

The elves in SAO have the same setting as many fantasy texts, that is, the immortal species, although it does not live for a long time, but for the elf, fifty years old is considered an adult, and the little girl in front of her is only in her twenties at most if it is not a development problem, that is to say, the age converted to a human is only about ten years old.

"Hmm......" An Yi's doubts seemed to stop the other party, and the blonde girl hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "This is one of the stories I will tell you, shouldn't it be polite to tell each other their names before this?" ”

"You're right, I was negligent." Of course, it is impossible for An Yi to forget this matter, but it can be determined that the NPC of this task also has a fairly high intelligent AI type, in short, it will not be worse than Kizmer: "You can call me, Ann." ”

"An......" The blonde girl had a clumsy pronunciation that twisted her tongue, and then seemed not very satisfied, puffed out her mouth and said awkwardly: "Ugly name!" As for me, call me Alyssa. ”

"Since you're sure you want to get involved in my business, then I won't give you a chance to quit! One last question, do you really want to know my story? Alyssa reaffirmed with a serious expression, her hazy violet eyes that had lost focus as if she were looking at An Yi.

"Of course."

The moment he said this, Anyi received a notification of the side quest:

[Curse of Sword Skills: Help Taidao to make Alyssa lift the family's curse cycle.] 】

……

At the same time, while An Yi was taking the task here, Chu Xuan was sitting at the table, closing his eyes and counting the information in his heart, suddenly, he opened his eyes, and at the same time, he remembered the dispute outside.

"So, are you going to do that?"
