Lin Yiyan and Yougio, who had made such a judgment, relied on that voice and arrived at the central capital with the goal of the Central Cathedral. However, the Alice who unexpectedly appeared in front of us was not Alice Bassbeck, the daughter of the village chief of Loulid, but Alice Brown. Synthesis· The integrated knight of the name Thirty. Judging from her attitude of only treating the two as sinners who must be judged, there is no clue at all that is reminiscent of Yugeo's childhood sweetheart.

In the end, she is actually another person who only looks very similar to her name, or Alice herself, who has a long memory. In order to confirm this, he had to escape from this cell and actually reach the very top of the central cathedral, where he could see the whole picture of the Congregational Church.

As a result, although we finally arrived here, we could not even give the chains and iron fences that bound us even the slightest scarring, "Ahhhhh......h Now, if there is a so-called god watching here, hurry up and open your heart to me and tell the truth without reservation! ”

Lin Yiyan complained like this, and Yugeo replied with a wry smile, "Hey, no matter how you say it, it will still be very troublesome to say rude things to Lord Stysia in the church." Maybe the punishment will come upon you. ”

It seems that even with the change in the priority of the taboo list, Yugeo still doesn't seem to have lost his faith.

Thinking so, Lin Yiyan continued to say rash words, "If you really want to do that, can you let the heavenly punishment fall on this chain first." ”

Saying this, Lin Yiyan suddenly realized something, changed his tone and continued, "Wait, speaking of Lord Styxia, can you call out the window here?" ”

"We don't think we've tried it yet. Give it a try. ”

"Ahh Lin Yiyan peered into the jailer's room at the other end of the iron fence to the left of the passage, and stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand, depicting in the space the gesture of calling out the Status indo window that he had been completely familiar with for more than two years, and then tapping on the chain held in his left hand.

A moment later, the lilac window that he was used to appearing in front of him, and Lin Yiyan also relaxed a little. Just knowing the state of the chains doesn't mean that the situation is getting any better, but no matter what, it's always nice to be able to gather information.

"Oh, it's out." Giorgio smiled and looked at the window. Only three lines appear on the window, the intrinsic item ID, below which is the durability of 23500/23500, and the text column of Class 38 Object.

Class 38 is already a high priority compared to those famous swords, but it is still not as good as the 45 of the Green Rose Sword as an artifact, and the 46 of the black sword sharpened from the branches of the giant god Osugi Kigasida who has grown for hundreds of years. In other words, as long as you have either of the two swords, you should be able to cut the chain. But even if you talk about it now, it's useless.

Eugeo, who imitated Lin Yiyan's movements, exhaled out the window of his chain, and let out an unbelievable moan, "Wow, no matter how you pull this chain, it will definitely not break." If you want to cut this chain, you need at least a level 38 weapon of the same level as it......"

"That's right." Lin Yiyan glanced at the dimly lit and cramped prison, but there were only rough iron beds and empty leather bags filled with water, and he exhaled out of the window of the iron bed with the faint hope that "if you destroy the bed, you might be able to get a substitute for the stick", but it was a cheap thing with Class 3 written on it as I had seen. In that case, there might be hope for the iron fence, but I found that I couldn't touch it because of the chains.

Even so, Lin Yiyan still didn't want to give up, and when he was shaking his head desperately from side to side, Yugeo next to him said weakly, "No matter how much you look for it, it is impossible for a famous knife or something to fall in this cell." Rather, there's nothing to be found. All that's there is a bed, a hydration bag, and this chain. ”

"Only...... Chain ......" whispered, Lin Yiyan stared at the chain that bound his wrist, and then looked at the chain tied to Yugeo's hand, and then finally thought of an idea, and it was difficult to suppress his excitement.

"No, it's not the 'only' one. Aren't there two, chains? ”

"Huh?" Eugeo's eyebrows filled with "What are you talking about?" and he shook his hand and got off the bed. I also got out of bed and stood on the stone floor, confirming that my partner was standing in the faint darkness. The right wrist stretched out from the college uniform that he had been wearing since yesterday was handcuffed with a simple iron ring like Lin Yiyan, connected by a long iron chain fused with it and an iron ring buried deep in the back wall.

First, Lin Yiyan bowed down from under the chain that connected Yugeo's hand to the wall, and then returned to his original position. In this way, the chains between me and Eugeo are crossed in an X-shape. waved and motioned for Yugeo to retreat slightly, while Lin Yiyan also retreated in the opposite direction. There was a screeching sound at the intersection of the two chains, and it tightened.

Seeing this, Yugeo finally sensed Lin Yiyan's intentions, "That, Yi Yan, do you want to pull them apart like this?" ”

"Of course, it's going to be pulled away like this. The priority of the two chains should be exactly the same, and in principle, the two chains can be allowed to reduce each other's destiny. Give it a try and you'll know, hurry up and hold the chain with both hands. ”

Although Yugeo was still a little suspicious, he still held the chain extending from the wrist of his right hand with both hands as Lin Yiyan said, and sank his waist. Lin Yiyan also made the same move.

"Okay, before that......" once again drew the trajectory with his right hand, calling out the window of the chain. If you want to cut the chains by doing the same thing in the real world, it will take a lot of trouble to make a slight scar on the surface of the chain.

However, in this Under orld, everything is subject to the strict laws of physics like the real world. Just like it is possible to use the artifact Green Rose Sword to cut down a large tree with a diameter of four meters in a few days, as long as the two items conflict with each other at a certain speed and strength, the one with the higher priority and the more destiny can indeed destroy the other party.

The two exchanged glances, chanting "pre-~ prepare" in their mouths, and at the same time, they used all their strength and weight to pull the tightly held chains to both sides. As a heavy metal sound sounded, to Lin Yiyan's surprise, Yugeo's brute force dragged Lin Yiyan all the way forward, and Lin Yiyan's feet also stepped on the ground tightly. With the idea of not to be outdone, the two of them half forgot about the initial purpose and compared their respective strengths.

The crossings of the chains began to make a screeching sound, and small orange sparks appeared intermittently. Maintaining a state of tug-of-war, Lin Yiyan stretched out his neck and looked at the window of exhalation.

"Oh!" Without thinking, he tried to strike a gesture to celebrate his victory, only to realize that he couldn't move his hands, and he just smiled proudly. More than 20,000 chains of destiny, single digits are decreasing at a rate that I can't visualize, and tens of digits are also decreasing at a visible rate. With this momentum, it will only take a few minutes to go to zero. Lin Yiyan gritted his teeth again, and injected all his strength into the chain and Yougeo to continue the tug-of-war.

This is certainly not possible without two people, and the Prisoner's Object Control privileges, which are equivalent to the power values in SAO, are required to be sufficiently high. Therefore, Lin Yiyan thought that it would be impossible for the eleven-year-old Alice, who was locked up in prison alone eight years ago, to cut this chain.

Sure enough, she was taken to the judgment ground as she had planned, and what happened there. If that integration knight Alice should be Alice of Loulid Village herself, what is ...... to make her memory and thoughts controlled and become a faithful guard of the Congregational Church?

Because his mind was immersed in such thoughts, Lin Yiyan forgot important things. Keeping the window open all the time is to stop the tug-of-war before the Chain's destiny reaches zero. Because, if not—

"Bah! There was a high-pitched metallic scream that was different from before. Before they could react, both Lin Yiyan and Ugeo rolled backwards with violent momentum, and the back of their heads hit the stone wall almost simultaneously.

Lying on his back on the floor, he held his head in his hands, enduring the pain and impact of the blow that STL repeated in a certain rhythm. After the feeling disappeared, Lin Yiyan peeked out of the iron door to see if the jailer had noticed this, but fortunately there was no reaction. Lin Yiyan exhaled at this time, and finally stood up.

Yugeo, who stood up after Lin Yiyan, was still scratching the back of his head with his left hand, "Hmm...... The Mandate of Heaven just now should have been reduced by more than a hundred. ”

"It's not a trivial thing at all. Look. Lin Yiyan stretched out his right hand, and the weakly hung chain on the iron ring swayed gently. The chains were beautifully cut, leaving only a Mel twenty Cen long, no, a part of one and two meters. The four U-shaped pieces of metal rolling on the ground are fragments of two iron rings at the intersection that have been disconnected from the center due to the constant pressure of tug-of-war. As soon as he looked at it, the metal piece disintegrated and disappeared with an illusory sound.

Lin Yiyan curiously exhaled out the window of the chain fragment hanging on his right wrist, and the Mandate of Heaven had actually recovered to 18,000, which was quite close to the original value. Originally, in Lin Yiyan's expectation, it was rather an expectation, the three-meter-long chain would disappear completely at the moment when the destiny of heaven was zeroed due to being pulled, but perhaps because it was connected by a large number of iron rings, it seemed to be set up as a new chain item again.

While Lin Yiyan was thinking about this, Yugeo, who was also checking his chains, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Really...... Yi Yan, you really have this kind of messy talent, it hasn't changed at all as before. ”

"Hmph, unreasonable, chaotic, and unconspiracy are my trademarks, so let's cut off this place too." Now, although he has been freed from the situation of being only three meters away from the wall, he can't think of a way to remove the shackles left by his right hand. If you do it again, you can make the length shorter, but it is not possible to remove it completely.

"I can only take it like that. It's a bit heavy, but it won't get in the way when you roll it around your arm. As she spoke, Yougeo began to wrap the chains around her forearms, which I had no choice but to do. After making the makeshift Chain Gauntlet gauntlet, the two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

“…… Next. Before starting the next action, this was the only thing that had to be confirmed, Lin Yiyan turned to Yugeo with a serious face, took a deep breath and said, "Let's ask first...... Is it really possible, Yogeo? To escape from here and to seek truth in relation to Alice means to raise the flag of opposition to the Congregational Church head-on. From now on, if you want to take any action, there will be no time for you to hesitate and struggle. If you don't have this level of awareness, it's better for you to stay here. ”

Even if they have been together for more than two years, Lin Yiyan can't escape this is probably the most severe words.

Although it looks like it has calmed down, Yogeo's Fluct Light ...... That is, the soul formed by the collection of light quanta is still in a state that has just undergone a drastic tectonic change. For his soul has repudiated the absolute authority of the Congregational Church and the taboo catalogue, which he has believed in for a long time since he became sensible, and has been reassigned a higher priority than it.

In other words, considering the unstable state that he was now aware of, if he placed too much burden on the new thinking circuits that had just been generated, he might also have a soul abnormality like Lyos. Therefore, Lin Yiyan has been avoiding the topic of the Holy Church and the taboo catalogue for the past thirty-five hours.

However, instead of suddenly getting entangled in Eugeo's radical behavior in the process of moving towards the top after the prison break, it would be better to let him at least sort out his consciousness first. Either way, Lin Yiyan wants to get Yugeo to the top of the cathedral safely—there should be a place to escape from the console of the real world.

That's right, Lin Yiyan wants to let this unique partner's best friend come into contact with people in the real world face to face.

Eugeo, who heard Lin Yiyan's words of "make up your mind now", widened his eyes for a moment, and then slowly lowered his head. He raised his right hand and clenched it tightly in front of his chest, "...... Ah, I know. ”

It was only a whisper in the silence, but it was a resolute but unwavering voice.

"I've decided. In order to return to Lulid Village with Alice, even the church can oppose her. If necessary...... It doesn't matter how many times you ask me to swing my sword. …… If that integration knight is the real Alice, I must find out why she lost her memory and restore her to the original Alice. For me, that's more important than anything else. After speaking, Yugeo, who raised his face, looked at Lin Yiyan with a strong light in his eyes, revealing a hint of a smile.

"When you were in that forest, Yi Yan, you said it. There are things that must be done even if they are prohibited by law." I finally understand what that means now. Lin Yiyan swallowed the incredible emotion and cold air in his heart into the depths of his body in one go. Then I nodded and stepped forward and patted my partner on the left shoulder.

"I understand your enlightenment...... However, after getting out of here, you still have to avoid fighting as much as possible. The Knights of Integration, other than Alice, are not easy opponents for us to win. ”

"The above sentence is weak, it doesn't look like what you said by Yi Yan." Retorting to the chuckling Eugeo, "Those guys are the strongest in the world," and I walked to the iron bars separating the cell from the passageway. First of all, exhale the window of the thick iron rod with a diameter of three Cen. The level of the item is -20. The Mandate of Heaven is close to 10,000.

Eugeo, who was standing on the side, also looked at the window and let out an "hmm" sound.

"Hmm...... It seems easier to deal with than a chain.,But it takes a long time to twist it just by hand.。。 What to do, do you want to use the bodies of two people to just hit it like this? ”

"In that case, it will cut the Mandate of Heaven like a fence. I've thought about it a little bit before, well, you see. Lin Yiyan waved his hand to get Yugeo to step back and untie the chain wrapped around his right arm. Although this is a strategy that has been prepared before, it was actually thought of when the chains were rolled up.

When he was in the Sword Cultivation Academy, the senior of Soldilina, who had guided Lin Yiyan for a whole year, was rolled up as it is now after using that weapon—that is, the weapon that symbolizes the flow of Serlute, the whip of white leather. Watching Lin Yiyan slowly shake the chain about one and two meters long that he was holding in his right hand, Yugeo whispered worriedly, "Yi, Yi Yan, are you going to use this to break the fence?" If you miss, you'll be seriously injured......"

"It's okay, Lena has taught me a lot of whip methods before. After all, she's also known as the mobile tactical overview...... Listen, after knocking the iron fence into the air, there should be a loud noise, and then I will run towards the stairs in one go. Even if the jailer is alarmed, don't fight him, just run away. ”

“…… Eh—a lot......" Ignoring Yugeo's subtle reaction, Lin Yiyan slightly increased the amplitude of the chain swing. Although the chain is a little short of length when used in place of the whip, it can be compensated for by its high priority of 38.

- Not only the hand holding the whip, but also the tip of the whip into your consciousness, and then swing the whip. While recalling the teachings of Lina's predecessors, Lin Yiyan threw the chain behind him sharply, and waved forward with a shout before it stretched to the extreme.

"Hey!" The chains that swept through the air were like gray snakes, and the tip struck the intersection of the three-centimeter-thick iron rod with a precise tip, splashing dazzling sparks in the darkness.
