Chapter 8: Hotel Encounters
(Ask for recommendation~)
Looking at the girl standing behind several people, that is, the only female player in the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group - fortunately, Mouton couldn't help but feel a little emotional, you must know that the later experience of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group made countless people regret, of course, there was also a fortunate encounter, but I didn't think that I could meet these people.
Keita saw Mouton's gaze move to Yuki, and asked a little strangely, "Does Your Excellency know Yuki?" β
Mouton knew that he was a little out of shape, coughed lightly, and said, "I just didn't expect that there was a female player in your team, all of ...... surprised"
"Because we're all partners in reality......" Tetsuo said with a laugh as he carried the hammer.
"So that's ......" Mouton nodded suddenly, and heard Keita invite him again, Mouton thought about it before nodding and agreeing.
If it were another guild organization, Mouton might still refuse, but if it was a small guild organization like the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group, where everyone thought about their companions, Mouton would naturally agree.
"That's great!" Kaitai was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Mouton to agree to his invitation, put away his equipment and said, "Then let's go back to the town first." β
On the way back to the city, Mouton chatted with Keita and asked, "Have you all been together since you entered the game?" β
"Yes, because we are the best partners in reality, and after entering SAO, we will stay together." Keita touched the back of his head and smiled, and then, Keita seemed to think of something, looked at Mouton and asked, "Are you a solo player?" β
"Hmm." Mouton nodded, and didn't mean to hide it.
Keita's heart moved, and his pace suddenly stopped, and he looked at Mouton and asked, "Are you a sealed beta tester?" β
"It's not."
"In that case, I'd like to invite you to join our guild, okay?" Keita asked, looking at Mouton.
"This ......" Mouton was silent for two seconds, then shook his head and said, "I'm used to it alone, but thank you Keita for your kindness." β
"It's okay, I'll mention it anyway." Keita smiled and waved his hand, a little disappointed, but he had already expected to receive such an answer.
After returning to the town, a few people sat in the hotel, ordered a few drinks, and began to chat, which lasted for more than two hours before Mouton got up and prepared to leave, "I'm going to continue to level up, let's add a friend." β
"No problem." Keita and the others nodded, and after adding friends to each other, Mouton was about to leave, and suddenly said: "By the way, if you enter the labyrinth area in the future, it's best not to touch those unknown things, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, you must remember what I said." Seeing Mouton with a solemn face, Keita nodded and secretly remembered what Mouton said.
"If there's any trouble, send me a message and I'll rush over to help, so everyone, let's chat next time you have a chance." Mouton smiled and got up and was about to leave, when Keita spoke up again: "Mouton-kun, if you can, can I ask you for something?" β
"Say, if I can do it."
"We lack a guard in our team, so I want Mouton-kun to help train Yuki-......" Keita's words made Mouton silent for a while, looked at Yuki with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Do you want to be an avant-garde?" β
"I ...... I...... I think I can try......" Yuki clasped his hands in his arms and leaned timidly behind Tetsuo.
Mouton let out a sigh, looked at Keita and the other members of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe, and said angrily, "Keita, are you going to let a girl who trembles when she sees the monster be the avant-garde?" To put it mildly, are you stupid, or are you heartless? And, fortunately, don't you have any objection to this arrangement? β
"I ......" Xing opened his mouth and looked at everyone's eyes, and for a while he was a little scared and didn't know what to say.
"Fortunately,You should say it if you hate this position.,It's not suitable for a girl to be a vanguard.,Besides,The avant-garde is the most important position in a team.,Once there's a mistake in the strategy dungeon.,It will put the team in a huge crisis.,If you have to follow this configuration.,I'm sure one day it's going to be wiped out.,Keita.,I'm sorry I can't agree.γ Looking at Xingrou's weak and pitiful appearance, Mouton closed his mouth appropriately and stopped talking.
"Annihilation!?" Qi Tai and the others shuddered at the same time, and after thinking carefully for a while, Qi Tai and the others had already understood.
"Keita, as a warrior, four men, can't you take one out of the full-time avant-garde? I believe that this is not a difficult task. After speaking, Mouton spread his hands: "I'm sorry, maybe the tone of the previous words was a little heavier." β
"It's okay...... It's that I'm not thinking it through. As the leader of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe, Keita immediately looked at Xing with a ashamed face and said, "Xing, I'm really sorry, we didn't take your feelings into account." β
"If you have a chance, let's talk next time." Mouton smiled, turned and walked out of the hotel.
Looking at Mouton's disappearing figure, Tetsuo, who hadn't spoken much all this time, seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly exclaimed, "I remembered!" β
"What's wrong?"
"What?"
"Tetsuo, what are you doing in a hurry?"
Everyone was taken aback by Tetsuo.
"Mouton, Mouton, he's the black red sword! Oh my God, we've become friends with this kind of character. Tetsuo grabbed Keita's arm excitedly and shouted.
"Black Red Sword...... Black...... Red Sword ...... "Keita recalled the characteristics of Mouton who helped him and others kill monsters before, and finally remembered Mouton's name, the character who was like a ray of hope among all the players of SAO!
"Black Red Sword...... Mouton ...... "Yuki lowered his head, thinking of what Mouton said to him earlier, Yuki silently remembered it in his heart.
β¦β¦
Just after walking out of the hotel, Mouton saw countless players rushing over, shouting the title of 'Black Red Sword' in their mouths, and after fleeing the town in embarrassment, Mouton found a place where no one was there to gasp, thinking about the scene where those players flocked to the scene before, Mouton still has palpitations now.
"It seems that you have to be careful when you go back to town in the future, or try not to go back to town......"
Mouton came to his senses, and then plunged into the labyrinth area, yesterday when Mouton killed monsters everywhere in the maze area, he had already discovered the location of the second layer of the boss, and Mouton had planned to kill the boss, but he accidentally ran into a member of the black cat group on a moonlit night on the road.
After cleaning up the mobs on the road in the maze area, Mouton looked at the boss gate in front of him, and with a slight push, the door of the boss opened, and the boss of the second layer was called King Taurus, under the crushing of Mouton's powerful attack power and fierce attack speed, in less than half an hour, the boss of the second layer had been completely killed by Mouton.
2nd Floor ...... Customs clearance!
Looking at the gate behind the boss, Mouton entered with a sword, and his figure appeared on the third floor of Ein Grant!
Two days later, when those front-line players who were the raider team came to the gate of the second layer of the guard boss, pushed the door open and entered, they found that the guard boss that was supposed to exist on the second floor was long gone, and there was only the cold and open stone gate to the third floor!
Front-line strategy players, after spreading the news, all of a sudden, the entire sao world was completely boiling, only more than ten days have passed since the first layer of the strategy BOSS, and the news that the second layer was opened by mysterious players has undoubtedly injected a boost into those players in sao.
"What the hell is it, or what kind of organization...... I was able to kill the boss so quickly and enter the next layer...... Could it be that Mouton? "Kirito and other players who had previously participated in the first layer of the strategy directly appeared in their minds that unstoppable figure......
β¦β¦
After SAO clears the third layer, you can establish a formal guild organization, and for a while, in SAO, large and small guilds have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Mouton is bloodthirsty in his hand, and after clearing the second layer, he entered the maze area of the third layer, and in less than a day, Mouton killed the boss of the third layer again!
After a day, clear the fourth floor.
Two days later, the fifth floor was cleared.
After three days, clear the sixth floor.
In five days, I cleared the seventh floor and entered the eighth floor!
β¦β¦
However, many players are unaware of this, and almost all of them are still leveling up in the maze area of the third layer.
In the town on the third floor, Mouton sat alone in the hotel, tasting a good drink, a player in red clothes with a long sword pinned to his waist, sitting next to Mouton, ordering a glass of the same wine as Mouton, and drinking it slowly, with a gesture, there was no lack of momentum as a high-level manager.
When Mouton saw this person's outfit, he judged the identity of the person next to him in an instant, the head of the Blood Alliance Knights - Heathcliff.
Heathcliff, also known as Akihiko Kayaba, created the death game SAO, and used an administrator account to disguise himself as a player to log in to the game, established the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and integrated into the players.
It's just, how could Heatscliff be by his side?! Mouton quietly ordered another glass, still drinking slowly, calmly, Mouton would not be naΓ―ve to think that he had happened to meet Heathcliff.
Heathcliff on the side was also secretly looking at Mouton sitting next to him, and shook the wine in the cup lightly before Heathcliff asked out loud: "Mouton-kun, do you have any plans to join the guild?" β
"You know me?" Mouton feigned surprise and turned to look at Heatscliffe.
"Naturally, I know that the legend of Mouton-kun killing a layer of guard bosses with one person and one sword has been passed down among us players." Heathcliff narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"I'm used to being alone, and I don't plan to join the guild yet, thank you for your kindness." Mouton said, already getting up and walking towards the outside of the hotel.
Looking at the back of Mouton leaving, Heathcliff looked down at the blue wine in the glass, and seemed to say to himself: "One person clears the seventh floor...... Who the hell are you......"
As soon as he stepped out of the hotel's door, Mouton saw several players standing in front of the hotel, dressed almost identically to Heatscliffe, but Mouton's eyes only stayed on them for two seconds before heading out of town.
"Could it be that my actions have caught Heatscliff's attention?" Walking in the jungle, Mouton walked over and over again, thinking about the possibility of Hizcliff finding it, you know, Hizcliff is the administrator of the SAO, and he is like the creator god in the SAO, so he can naturally notice the progress of the game.
After thinking about it, Mouton only thought about this, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Since that's the case...... Then let you see what I'm capable of......"
