"What are humans doing in this forest?" Seeing Zheng Shuanglong and his party approaching the battlefield, the forest elf said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"You don't need to mess with it! Get out of here! These are the words of the dark elves.

Following Zheng Shuanglong's previous explanation, the members of the Void Brigade drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the shining breastplate of the forest elf.

The handsome face gradually became vicious. The yellow logo of the forest elf appeared with a flashing red frame that was about to turn hostile. "It's stupid...... Do you want to join the Black Elves and just want to be the dew on my sword? ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Gently shaking the one-handed sword in his hand, the golden light began to shine, and Zheng Shuanglong said with a natural expression.

Who said that men are not jealous, it is more pleasant to choose to cut down the forest spirit with a beautiful elf than to let Claire, Shino Asada, Rixia, Fei, and Asuna fight with a super handsome guy. In this way, it is more reassuring from a variety of perspectives.

With the words of this decision, the color of the forest elf's logo changed. From light yellow to a blood red color close to black. At this moment, a beautiful and cold smile appeared on the man's handsome face. "Well, then we'll wipe you out together, humans."

"Although I really want to agree with your words, but, just an elite monster, isn't it too arrogant to talk like this, everyone, cut him down for me." Looking at the handsome face of the forest elf that made people want to kick it with their unrecognizable feet, Zheng Shuanglong pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a hideous smile.

Speaking, Zheng Shuanglong took the lead in "brushing!" Suddenly, the golden sword light bloomed with a hideous brilliance.

The Void Brigade can push the boss of the second layer, and naturally it can also push the elite mobs of the seventh layer. Therefore, ten minutes later, with the cooperation of the black elves, the forest elves were directly pushed down.

"How...... How could it be ......" Leaving these words, the forest spirit fell to the ground with a snap, turning into crystal shards and disappearing.

"The intensity is a little higher, and the average player can't do him at all, so how to complete this task. I'm a little curious! Looking at the women who looked very tired around them, they inserted their one-handed swords into the scabbard, and Zheng Shuanglong, who had not finished reading the strategy before, cast his eyes on the black elf who was silently looking at the corpse of the enemy with a black saber in his hand.

I don't know why, Zheng Shuanglong always felt the agate-like pupils of the black elf, full of surprise and doubt, that look seemed to give me a kind of asking, "That, me, what should I do?" "Something like that, delusional.

Before Zheng Shuanglong could think clearly, Tio and Argo, who had completed the supply and done a lot of logistical things, followed the mark of their companions and trotted over.

Then, when he saw the living black elf and the forest elf that had disappeared into crystal pieces, he screamed in surprise. "Woo woo ————!!!"

…………

Argo was really surprised, from the information she had obtained during the closed beta period, this mission called "The Secret Key of Jade" should be unfolded like this.

Whether you choose the male knight of the forest elf as your friend, or the female knight of the black elf as your friend, both of them will be defeated together in the end. And the elf who fought side by side with him before could hold on for a few more seconds, leaving the sentence "Send the key to XX" and die.

X refers to, if it is a forest elf, a campsite in the northern part of the forest. The Black Elves are the campsites in the south. When the remains of the two men are destroyed, a small bag sewn up from leaves is left. Inside the bag, there is a large key made of precious green stones.

Of course, the player has to follow the knight's last words and send the key to the campsite in the north or south, or sell it to the NPC shop on the street to get a certain amount of Kroll, and the relative quest will not be able to continue.

If you resist the temptation to successfully deliver the key, a little reward from the commander elves who accompany the camp will usher in the next mission.

However, Argo was unaware that there would be a branch of the Elven Knights of his allies who would survive. If Argo doesn't know, it means that no player in the entire SAO game knows, which means that you have to be prepared to realize that the story will unfold almost completely unknown from here......

And the unknown not only represents the possibility of high returns, but also represents the risk of terror.

In this death game, if it were left to other players, they might just abandon the mission, but for the vast majority of the members of the Void Brigade, it would be a very interesting thing.

So, except for Argo's tangled gaze at Miss Kizmer, the still silent black elf knight, and a towel bag made of leaves on the ground where the corpse of the elf of Nasen disappeared.

Zheng Shuanglong and the others put away their weapons very, very calmly. Looking at the Black Elf Kizmer with a smile. Waiting for possible follow-up tasks.

Although the bag will disappear if you don't pick it up as soon as possible, Argo, who is already a little blind about this task, really can't judge whether or not to pick it up in this case. It would be terrible to make such a rash move, and to raise the hostile flag of Miss Kiezmer for this reason.

It's really really annoying to have things that go beyond intelligence. Argo thought frantically.

Fortunately, Kizmail, who had been there for a while, finally reacted. After making a choice for Argo, Kizmer bent down and picked up the bag with his black leather gloves with his hands, as if very carefully. Holding it gently to his chest, he exhaled a long breath as if he had settled down.

"This will keep the Templar for now...... "Kizmer whispered in a quiet voice, placing the bag in the pocket around his waist and looking at the members of the Void Brigade. The sternness of the dark pupils returned, and it was like an action to put all the confusion behind before, and it was really hard to think that this was just a monster operated by a program.

"You can't do it without thanks." With a slight bow, Kizmer continued. "Thanks to your cooperation, the first key has been kept. Thank you for your help. We can also get a reward from the commander, so please come with me on the way to camp. ”

Once again, her head lit up to inform the progress of the mission. "Mark. Argo, who joined the mission by forming a team, exhaled with all his strength as if no one else noticed.

It seems that even if the Forest Elf Knight is accidentally defeated, the campaign mission is still going on normally. Well, how to sell this piece of information, and how much to put on it, this is really a big question. Before there is no specific quest reward intelligence. It's a little more difficult. Argo, who handed over the newly purchased weapons, armor, and supplies in his inventory to Claire, Fei, and Shino Asada, thought a little itchy.

"Tyo, thank you." Zheng Shuanglong, who took over a one-handed sword that was okay on the third layer from Theo's hand, plus some supplies, happily used the mystery - touching the head to kill, and gently stroked Theo's head.

The supplies brought by Theo and Argo are very crucial, after all, since the deathmatch with the second-layer boss, Zheng Shuanglong and his party have not rested or replenished at all. This can be dangerous for players entering new floors.

The weapons are not suitable, the armor is not suitable, the supplies are missing, and the mental consumption is terrible, these four points add up, but it is a very fatal thing.

However, with the arrival of Argo and Theo, it was all settled. Maybe Tio and Argo don't have enough strength, but it's still no problem for one person to carry three sets of equipment.

Seeing that the members of the Void Brigade had completed their supplies, Zheng Shuanglong took a step forward and said to Kizmer seriously: "Then, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"............" Argo was a little speechless. Is Zheng Shuanglong really an elite player, won't he be a rookie like Asuna, well, thinking back to Zheng Shuanglong's various behaviors in this game, this kind of possibility is still there. Khan, the rookie who spends billions of dollars playing games, uses a kind of eggy melancholy no matter how you look at it......

Does Argo have balls, though? No, then, just ignore her melancholy.

Kizmer also stared at Zheng Shuanglong and fell silent. NPCs, if not a clear YES or NO statement, will not respond correctly to this response.

Argo, who had an urge to cover his face, was about to take Zheng Shuanglong's words and answer correctly. Kizmer nodded slightly, and turned away. "Okay. The campsite is at the southern end of the forest through it. ”

The mission log is ongoing, and the "? The mark slowly went out. Instead, a message appears on the left side of the field of vision with a message that someone has joined the party and a new HP bar.

Behind Kizmer, who began to walk forward in a sassy manner, Zheng Shuanglong, Clea, Tio, Fei, Shino Asada, and Asuna, who didn't know much about the game, started to follow. Argo, on the other hand, stood still for three seconds, then hurried forward and chased after him.

What the hell is going on? Argo, who was following behind everyone, thought a little tangled: judging from the reaction just now, it can only be thought that the black elf understood the meaning of the subtle difference with YES from Zheng Shuanglong's words. However, according to intelligence, NPCs in the Closed Beta era do not yet have this level of conversational ability.

Generally speaking, it should be that after the official launch of the server, the NPC's automatic response program database has been expanded, and this is the only possibility.

But then again, Knight Kizmer's tone and expression are too natural, in other words, it makes people feel like she's like a player. Delusion?

This ungraspable situation made Argo feel a little bad.

As if sensing Argo's confusion and incomprehension, Zheng Shuanglong's pace slowed down, and he quietly retreated from the front row to Argo's side, and said softly: "What is real?" What is Falsehood? What is the meaning of existence? What you see, what you hear, is what is true? No, in this game, you've already been told, these are just electronic signals. Only your own soul, your own heart, is true. For us, the world is illusory. But, for them, this SAO is the real world. When you have lived in this world for a long time, the real world is an illusory world for you, and this SAO is real. So, don't think so much about it. Do what you have to do, and follow the will of your heart. ”

"No matter how you listen to it, I feel so idealistic and not scientific at all, but listening to you say this, I feel so much better. Thank you! Shaking his head slightly, Argo, who shook the bad mood in his heart, smiled at Zheng Shuanglong.

"Hawkers, whether idealistic or not, it's good if it has an effect." Zheng Shuanglong, who said such words with a bright smile, quickly returned to the front of the team.

After all, although as soon as they encounter monsters, Kizmail's saber will simply cut them all down, but as the strongest person in the Void Brigade, it is not good to be a pioneer and run to the back to talk about the world, what is this about.

"Is it real...... Looking at Zheng Shuanglong's back, Argo lowered his voice and whispered softly.

…………

It should be said that Kizmer is worthy of being an elf, and the fog that gave Zheng Shuanglong and his party a headache was as if it didn't exist in Kizmer's eyes, and they easily found a way forward in the thick fog.

Just like that, a quarter of an hour after the start of moving, several black flags flipped in the thick fog came into view. This is the camp of the Black Elves in the South.

As soon as I approached the pitch-black banner that fluttered in the depths of the fog, the fog in that place dissipated as if it were deceptive, and the vision suddenly became clear.

It seems to be approaching the southern end of the forest, and the steep mountains are still stretching to the left and right. In one place, a valley about five meters wide has a gap, and slender pillars stand on the left and right. As a mark, a flag with horn flutes and blades printed on black ground cloth flutters in the breeze at the top of the pillar.

Then, in front of the two pillars, was the figure of the Black Elf Guard. At this moment, Kizmer strode towards the guards who were showing off their slender naginatas.

After some negotiations, Zheng Shuanglong and his party, who were silent from the guards, passed, well, among them, Argo's expression was super strange, probably thinking of the information during the closed beta. Or maybe it's doing calculations and comparisons. (To be continued.) )
