Chapter Eighty-Three: Cutting Down Trees

I guess I can't forget Alice, right? Or will one day he have to save her with this sword in his hand?

All kinds of imaginations flashed in Lin Yiyan's mind, but Lin Yiyan's respect for the young man Yugeo failed to make Lin Yiyan express these thoughts simply. Lin Yiyan regained his momentum and picked up the sword again, holding the handle with his right hand and preparing to draw the sword.

I thought that this sword, which pierced deep into the ground like a stake, would cause a lot of resistance, but what I didn't expect was that with a slight force, the blade would slide out of the scabbard smoothly. With the crisp note, the sword was withdrawn, and at the same time, a great feeling of weight was felt from the right shoulder to the wrist, Lin Yiyan hurriedly threw away the scabbard in his left hand and held the hilt of the sword with both hands.

The scabbard that looked like leather had a lot of weight, and it made a clattering note and plunged deep into the ground. almost smashed into Lin Yiyan's left foot, but Lin Yiyan didn't have time to retreat, desperately trying to keep the sword body stable.

Fortunately, after removing the scabbard, the weight of the sword has been reduced by three percent, and it can finally continue to be maintained for a while. Lin Yiyan seemed to be attracted, looking at the sword body in front of him and being fascinated.

It's an incredible piece of material. It is only about three and a half centimeters of slightly thin metal, and it glows with a pale cyan sheen when the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves. If you look closely, the sunlight on its surface is not just a mirror reflection, but there is also some light that seems to remain inside the sword, and it is constantly diffusely reflected. In short, it's a little transparent.

"This isn't just any steel. It's not like silver, and it's different from keel. And certainly not ...... glass."

Eugeo said in a slightly awe-inspiring tone, "β€”that is, it's not something made by hand...... I think so. Made by powerful divine sorcerers with the power of the gods, or directly by the gods...... Such utensils are called "artifacts". This "Sword of the Green Rose" must also be one of the artifacts. ”

- God.

In the words of Eugeo and Serka, as well as the names of "Sauls" and "Stysia" that often appear in the nun's prayers, these should be the settings in this fantasy world, Lin Yiyan made such a judgment, so he didn't care much.

But like now, there are props made by the gods or something, which makes Lin Yiyan think that he should rethink this matter. The gods of the virtual world – that is, the managers of the real world? Or is it referring to the main program within the server?

This seems to be another question that no matter how much you think about it, you can't find an answer. For now, we can only think of this Congregational Church as a 'central system' or something. In short, this sword should be given a high priority in the system. The next step is to compare it to Kigascida, which is also a high priority, to see who has the higher rank - based on this result, you can decide if you can go to the central capital with Yougeo.

"Eugeo, can you investigate the current destiny of Kigascida?" Lin Yiyan, who was still holding the hilt of the sword, said this, and Yugeo looked at Lin Yiyan with a puzzled look, "Could it be Yi Yan...... Do you want to use this sword to cut Kigascida? ”

"Is there any reason for moving it here other than that?"

"That's right...... But ah......" Lin Yiyan said a lot of words one after another to make him no longer doubtful towards Yugeo, who lowered his head and fell into it, "Or is it written in the taboo directory that it is not allowed to cut Kigascida with a sword?" ”

"No...... I didn't mention this......"

"Or is it the village chief, or the predecessor's...... Grandpa Garrita, did you say you can't use anything other than the Dragonbone Axe? ”

"No...... This one didn't ...... I always feel ...... I've been like this before......" Eugeo muttered this, but got up and walked over to Kigascida. With his left hand, he tapped the tree trunk and stared at the emerging window.

"That, two hundred thirty-two thousand three hundred and fifteen."

"Okay, remember this number."

"But, Yi Yan. It is absolutely impossible to wield this sword well. Just holding it makes me a little unsteady. ”

"Anyway, you're on the lookout. The epee is not swung with strength, but by the movement of the center of gravity. ”

Although it is a memory from a long time ago, among the old SAO, Lin Yiyan likes swords with weight. Rather than a weapon that focuses on speed to win by attacking back, Lin Yiyan prefers the feeling of crushing the enemy with a single blow. As the level increases and the strength value increases, the weight of the sword will continue to decrease to Lin Yiyan, so Lin Yiyan will continue to change the sword - the swords that are Lin Yiyan's last partner are not much different from the feeling that the Sword of the Green Rose gave me at the beginning. Moreover, in the past, Lin Yiyan still manipulated his left and right hands to do these manual work.

Of course, because the foundation of the world system is different, it is not possible to use the same model, but the impression of body movement should be universal. Yugeo waited away from the giant tree, while Lin Yiyan moved to the left side of the cut in the trunk, bent down, and put the sword that would make his hands lose his strength just by maintaining it.

It's not about performing any combos, just a horizontal slash in the middle of the right. To borrow the sword technique from SAO, it is "Horizontal". It's a basic skill that can be used at the beginning of the game.

Lin Yiyan adjusted his breathing, shifted his weight to his right foot, and pulled his sword back to the side. The left foot is lifted due to the traction of inertia. There was a feeling like he was about to sit down, but Lin Yiyan had to resist no matter what when the tip of the sword did not reach the top coordinates, and slammed on the ground with his right foot to shift his center of gravity to the left half of his body. At the same time, the power generated by twisting the foot and waist is transmitted from the wrist to the end of the sword, and the horizontal slash begins.

The sword body shone brightly, although the sword did not produce automatic acceleration, but Lin Yiyan's body made a perfect preparation for the sword technique as if it were instinctive. The left foot that landed on the ground caused the ground to vibrate, and the moving mass sword body did not defy the principle of inertia, and rushed forward according to the ideal trajectory -

However, this can only be used as a demonstration. The legs that did not stand firm knelt on the ground, and the blade collided with the bark of the tree in the distance.

Crunch! There was a screeching sound, and all the birds in the trees scattered and flew away. However, Lin Yiyan didn't see this. Lin Yiyan, who couldn't bear the reaction force, let go of the hilt of his sword, and at the same time, his face made intimate contact with the moss on the ground.

"Wow, didn't I say it would be like this!" Yugeo ran to Lin Yiyan's side, sat up with his help, and spat out the moss in his mouth. In addition to the face that hit the ground first, the wrists, waist, and knees of both hands all produced pain that made Lin Yiyan want to scream. Because the pain will continue for a while, but I still desperately squeeze out the words, "...... That's not going to work...... The status value is red......"

In the old SAO, if you are equipped with a weapon that does not meet the STR requirements, the window will appear like this, but this word should not have reached Yugio's ears, but it made him even more worried, so Lin Yiyan hurriedly added, "No, that...... It's just that my physical strength is a little lacking. And besides, is there really a guy who can equip that kind of monstrous weapon......"

"So, we can't do it. To obtain the vocation of a swordsman...... Besides, you have to join the street guards. ”

Lin Yiyan lowered his shoulders, rubbed his right wrist and turned around. Yougeo also followed and looked behind Lin Yiyan. Then both of them were stunned at the same time. The Sword of the Green Rose, the beautiful blade that hung in mid-air, was almost half submerged in the bark of the Kigascida tree.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No way...... It only took one blow to produce a ......" Yugeo, who stood up violently, said in a hoarse voice after a brief aphasia. Tremblingly, he stretched out his right finger and stroked the junction between the sword and the tree.

"The blade is completely undamaged...... And it really cut into the bark of the Kigas Sida two centimeters......"

Lin Yiyan endured the sharp pain all over his body and stood up and patted the dust on his clothes. "It's just the result of trying to see. The sword of the green rose has ...... attack power Much higher than the Dragonbone Axe. Again, look at the destiny of Kigascida. ”

"yes, yes." Nodding, Eugeo scratched the mark again and knocked off the bark. Look at the window that pops up.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Twenty three million two hundred seventy two thousand three hundred and fourteen. ”

"What, what?" This time it was Lin Yiyan's turn to be shocked, "It's only a little less?" Obviously cut into so many ...... Why...... Isn't it okay if it's not an axe......"

"No, that's not the reason." Eugeo picked up his hand and shook his head, "It's just that the cut is not in the right place." If it weren't for the bark, but for the precise hit center, the Mandate would have been reduced a lot, I thought...... And, in that case, my vocation will be over...... - but. ”

Eugeo, who turned around, put on a complicated expression and bit his lip slightly, "But, these are the words after you can use the sword well." Just one swing hurts, and you can't hit where you aim, and you may end up slower than with an axe. ”

"I may not be able to, but what about Giorgeo? Your words must be very powerful. You wave it once and give it a try. "In the midst of the stalking, Yugeo still had a hesitant expression, but finally said 'Let's try it then' and turned to the giant tree again.

Hold the hilt of the green rose embedded in the giant tree with both hands and make a pry motion. The blade finally broke away from the bark, and Yugeo's upper body shook, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground, emitting a crisp note.

"Sure enough, it's really heavy. This won't work anyway, Yi Yan. ”

"I can swing it, and you can definitely do it. The essentials are not much different from an axe. You need to use your body weight more than you would with an axe, so don't just rely on your wrists, but keep your whole body balanced. How much the words could convey to him, Lin Yiyan didn't dare to guarantee, sure enough, he was a person who continued to work with an axe for a long time, and for Lin Yiyan's words, Yugeo didn't understand for a while. His simple face became serious, and he nodded, bending down to pick up his sword.

The body slowly picked up the sword backwards, paused for a moment, and then took a sharp breath and swung the sword with rapid speed. The right foot stepped straight to the front line, and this series of weight movement techniques made Lin Yiyan dumbfounded. After leaving a trail of cyan light in the air, the tip of the sword stabbed towards the center of the deep incision.

- However, in the last moment, the left foot, which supports the weight of the whole body, slipped slightly. The swing of the sword slashed above the V-cut and, after emitting a dull note, stopped. After that, just the opposite of Lin Yiyan, Yugeo, who flew out backwards, hit the thick root system and let out a slight moan.

"Woo-goo......"

"Hey, hey, it's okay." Hurriedly running to Eugeo's side, he stretched out his right hand to indicate that it was okay, but he was still frowning.

"Well, it still doesn't work, Yi Yan. Before we hit accurately, our destiny will be reduced a lot. The eyes of the two fell to the tree again, and the sword of the green rose bounced off the upper side of the cut at a small angle, plunging deep into the ground.

"But I think your footwork is good......" I wanted to say that Yugeo was a little indecisive, but his expression was like a child being blamed, Lin Yiyan had no choice but to give up and picked up the white leather scabbard on the mossy ground. Yugeo carefully stored the sword of the green rose that he pulled out into the scabbard he held. Then he put it in a leather bag, tied the knot, and put it not far away.

With a sigh of relief, Yugeo picked up the keel axe standing next to the trunk of the Kigascida tree and said loudly, "Uh-huh, it feels like this axe is as light as a feather." - Alright, I have been delayed a lot of time just now, and I must work hard for the afternoon. ”

"Ahhh......h I'm really sorry, Yugeo, let you do these things with me......" Hearing Lin Yiyan's apology, the young man turned his head and showed an innocent smile, which could only be described by the adjective innocence.

"It's okay, Yi Yan, I'm happy too. That...... I'll start fifty times first. ”

KONG, KONG, THE AXE THAT BEGAN TO SWING MADE A MELODIC SOUND, AND LIN YIYAN TOOK HIS EYES OFF EUGEO'S BACK AND WALKED TO THE SWORD OF THE GREEN ROSE THAT LAY SIDEWAYS, STROKING IT THROUGH THE LEATHER BAG.

Lin Yiyan's direction of thinking is absolutely right. With this sword, Kigascida will definitely be able to cut down. However, as Eugeo said, wielding it indiscriminately will cost you a lot of money. Since the sword exists in this world, the person who can equip and wield it with ease should also exist in this world. Lin Yiyan and Ugeo just didn't meet the specified conditions in the system. In that case, what are the conditions? Occupation? Grade? State? What exactly is it and how can it be investigated......

"......" Thinking of this, Lin Yiyan opened his mouth slightly. It was out of consternation at its own dullness.

Of course, as long as you can bring up the status window and look at it. Yesterday, whether it was the "window" that opened the round bread at the eugeo...... Or when you want to turn off the oil lamp in the church room, you can't think of this, it's really stupid.

Lin Yiyan stretched out his left hand, drew out the previous command symbol, and lightly tapped the back of his right hand while thinking. As expected, a purple rectangular frame came into view at the same time as the bell sounded. Unlike the bread window, there are several lines of text displayed here.

FIRST OF ALL, THE TOP LINE IS WRITTEN WITH UNIT ID: NNDL-6355 D, WHICH MAKES ME SHIVER, BUT NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO DELVE INTO THIS. The English number that I remember should be the common number of people who exist in this world.

Below is the Durability that can be found on both bread and Kigascida, which is what Ugeo calls Destiny. The displayed value is 3280/3289. In general, the left side is the current value and the right side is the maximum value. It's a little bit less, probably due to the indiscriminate swing of the sword just now. Then, Lin Yiyan's gaze moved downward again.

The second row is Object Control Authority:38. Further down is the text column for System Control Authority:1.

There is no necessary experience points, levels, status parameters, etc. Lin Yiyan bit his lip and muttered repeatedly, "Hmm...... ObjectΒ· Control Permissions...... This one......"

The feeling that words give Lin Yiyan should be parameters related to the use of props. However, it is completely unclear how far the value of 38 can be. With a sigh, he looked up at the back of Eugeo, who was concentrating on wielding the axe. While looking at his figure, Lin Yiyan suddenly had an idea, so he eliminated his window, and this time he wanted to call up the information of the Green Rose Sword to take a look. So he loosened the knot slightly, exposed the hilt slightly, drew an engraving and struck it gently.

The window that appeared showed that in addition to the Mandate of Heaven value of 197700, which can compete with Kigas Sida, there are also things that I want to see. Just below the Mandate of Heaven value, the "Class 45 Object" is displayed, which is very likely to correspond to the control permission just now. His own authority is 38, which is far less than 45.

Remove the window of the sword, tie the mouth of the bag, and sit down next to the sword. Looking up at the blue sky through the gaps in the leaves of Kigascida, I couldn't help but sigh. Although he received a lot of information, he was unable to control the Sword of the Green Rose, and this fact was confirmed by the values just now. Raising the clearance level to 45 is probably enough, but I can't find this method.

If this world is a general VRMMORPG system, if you want to improve the parameters, you must gain experience points by repeated training or defeating monsters, and you can't know whether you have enough time to try the former, but the latter has not found a monster. If you encounter the situation of "getting rare items but not enough equipment level", you will generally work hard to earn experience points, but if you can't find a way to increase your experience, you will only be frustrated.

The so-called MMO games are the most interesting in the early days of the wasteland where there is no strategy page - what players like this kind of fun-seeking players would never say again. Just as Lin Yiyan was thinking about this, Yugeo, who had swung fifty axes, turned around while wiping his sweat.
