"The meaning of existence doesn't seem to be very important. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" looked at Zheng Shuanglong in surprise, and Asada Shino said in surprise: "For Zheng, the meaning of this game is just entertainment, since it is just entertainment, what is the meaning." ”

"Yes, I said at the beginning of the game, this has the meaning of existence, whether it's Akihiko Kayaba or this game, it's for you to forge the foundation of the gods. That's just the point. Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar main neighborhood, Michi, admiring the pastoral and rural atmosphere, side by side with white walls and red roofs, Zheng Shuanglong said to Asada Shino, Claire, Fei, Lixia, and Theo: "Okay, just let Fei and Tio go with me, if everyone leaves the front line at once, Asuna will really go crazy." If you're short on manpower, it's very problematic to raid the boss. ”

After speaking, Zheng Shuanglong lowered his voice and muttered: "Obviously she was such a cute girl at the beginning, how did she become a ghost of the raiders, it's really bad, what went wrong." Girls' families, how can they be ...... so violent! ”

"Well, even if Zheng says so, I'm still not interested in the so-called strategy boss at all." Shino Asada, who was not interested in the strategy at all, frowned and said.

"However, since Zheng said so, we should go back, and we can't attack Fei and Tio. Zheng! Glancing at Zheng Shuanglong solemnly, Claire said seriously.

"I wish you good luck!" Bowing slightly to Zheng Shuanglong, Lixia said gently.

"Rest assured, get ready to leave. There's no problem at all, even if I'm **, I won't attack the immature little Lori......" waved his hand gently, Zheng Shuanglong said angrily.

At this time, an email arrived, Zheng Shuanglong looked at the sender, and said with a relaxed smile: "Well, Argo's information has arrived." Is the Titan's Hand targeting a little girl named Celica this time? ”

"It's funny, let's go, Fey, Tio." Zheng Shuanglong, who finished browsing, took Fei and Theo's little hands and left quickly.

Looking at the back of Zheng Shuanglong leaving, Asahita Shino said relaxedly: "Is there no problem, let Theo and Fei and Zheng Shuanglong be alone." ”

"There's no problem, if it's Zheng, I don't believe I will make a move on the imaginary body of Faye and Theo, after all, even Asuna's imaginary body, Zheng didn't make a move, right." Claire, who smiled very sweetly, said confidently.

A little helplessly glanced at Claire, and Asada Shino said weakly: "I'm not worried about Zheng making a move on Dio and Fei, I have confidence in Zheng." However, what I'm worried about is that Theo and Fei will make a move on Zheng, and you don't know their nostalgia for Zheng......"

"Well, there's still no problem, I think even if Zheng directly quits the game, he won't let Theo and Fei get their way." The fingers were very cute and drew a circle in the air, and Claire said confidently: "Although Zheng is a Lolita, but, except for those legal Loli, Zheng Ke will not shoot at those young girls, that bottom line has always been stuck in Zheng's heart, and it has never been broken, otherwise, Lixia would not have succeeded during this time......"

"That...... This one...... Let's go back quickly, if you leave the front line for too long, Sister Asuna will really be angry, but there is a regional boss who needs a strategy today......" Hearing that the topic turned to herself, Lixia, who blushed with shame, lowered her head and changed the topic softly.

"Yes, yes, Asuna is a ghost of the strategy, if she delays her strategy for the BOSS, it will really be a big problem, well, speaking of Zheng's goal this time, the hand of the titan seems to be aimed at the dragon envoy who has been famous recently, oh, let this Sirika contact Zheng is no problem, she seems to be a very cute little Lori." Shino Asada, who had dealt with Rixia, thought of the information about Sirika and said a little worriedly.

"Peace of mind, even if it's really a very cute little Lori, it's no problem, is there such a person next to our Zheng." Claire, who walked into the transfer door with a smile, said softly: "Let's go, it's really late, Asuna will kill her, and she will be angry and not prepare a meal for everyone." ”

"Oh, right away." gave up the more serious Shino Asada and quickly walked into the transfer door.

"Please...... Bina ...... Don't leave me alone......"

Two lines of tears slid across Sirika's cheeks and continued to drip onto the large feathers on the ground, before finally dispersing as particles of light.

The pale blue feathers are the relics left behind by the demon "Bina", who has been the only friend and partner for a long time. A few minutes earlier, Bina had died trying to protect Sirika. It received a fatal blow from the monster's weapon, and after letting out a scream, it scattered like a shattered block of ice. Only one long tail feather is left that shakes happily whenever it is called by name-

Cerica used to be a rare "animal trainer" for Ayn Grandtree. Now because of her proof as an animal trainer, the demon is gone. She's no longer an animal tamer.

There is no profession in SAO, and similarly, Beast Trainer is not a profession but a colloquial name.

Monsters that are usually aggressive in battle will occasionally show favor to the player. If you can seize this opportunity and successfully tame it by giving it bait and the like, the monster will become a precious existence that can give the player all kinds of help. And everyone will look at these lucky players with appreciation and envy as animal trainers.

Of course, not every monster can be a demon. Possibly, only a small number of critter-type monsters. Even now, the conditions for the Beast Trainer incident to occur have not yet been fully determined, and the only certainty is that if you kill too many monsters of this kind, the incident will never happen.

Just thinking about it, I feel that this condition is too harsh. Even if you try to repeatedly contact monsters that may turn into demons, those monsters will usually attack and will not be able to avoid fighting. In other words, if you want to become a beast trainer, you must constantly contact the target monster, and as long as there is no triggering event, you must run away without saying a word. It's not hard to imagine how complicated this work is.

Therefore, those who can become animal trainers are all face fighters, super red hands, Oti, well, it seems that something strange has come out.

Even the Void Brigade's little red hand Lixia has experimented hundreds of times without success, how lucky it must be to get a demon, no matter what, every beast tamer is a lucky existence.

And Sirika, who has a winged dragon demon named "Bina", is naturally a lucky girl.

Without any relevant knowledge, she went to the lower level on a whim and wandered aimlessly in the forest. The monster encountered for the first time did not attack, but approached on its own initiative. What Sirika had given him to eat was a bag of nuts that she had bought the day before, which happened to be the monster's favorite food.

In this way, the name of the race is "Winged Dragon", the body is covered with light blue soft hair, and the small wyvern with two large tail feathers instead of the tail is a special monster that rarely appears, and Celica seems to be the first person to successfully domesticate. Therefore, when Sirika returned to the main street with the Wyvern lying on her shoulder, it immediately caused a very big conversation. In the middle and lower levels, the dragon envoy Sirika has a lot of fame, and even the members of the strategy team know that there is a dragon envoy named Sirika among the middle players.

Although the direct combat power of the demon monster is not too high, it has several special abilities. For example, the ability to detect the approach of monsters, the ability to heal the owner, and so on, each ability is valuable and can make daily hunting easier.

However, the most important thing is that the demon can improve the player's chances of survival, and can relieve the tired and nervous hearts of the players who are living in this death game to a certain extent.

After all, the demons are more reliable and trustworthy than their peers, they don't betray, they don't disagree for a variety of reasons, and they follow the player until they complete the level or die.

In the same way, the presence of Morbina made Sirika feel reassured and warm.

The AI program for demonization is not set to that high. Of course, it is impossible to speak, and the degree of understanding of orders is not high enough, at most there are only about ten kinds.

However, for Sirika, who was imprisoned by this game, the closed world of SAO at the age of twelve, and was almost crushed by anxiety and loneliness, the redemption given by Bina is indescribable. It can be said that after getting Bina as a partner, Sirika's "adventure", that is, "surviving" in this world, finally began.

Relying on the increase in strength and mental stability brought by Bina, Sirika slowly and smoothly took the first step, accumulating experience, honing her skills as a short sword master, and gradually becoming a well-known higher-level player among intermediate players. Of course, her level is nowhere near that of the top swordsmen who fight at the forefront.

In fact, the "strategy group", which accounts for only a few hundred people among the 7,000 players, is basically at the forefront of the struggle, and most of the time it will not come to the middle and lower levels.

Therefore, in a way, the members of the Raiders group are rarer beings than animal trainers, and there is almost no chance to see them in person.

As a result, Celika's reputation among the mid-level players formed by the majority is no different from being promoted to an idol player. Coupled with the overwhelming rarity of female gamers and the relationship with age, it didn't take long for "Dragon Messenger Sirika" to become a well-known person with many admirers.

Hopefully, Sirika would join a constant stream of teams and guilds, and it was only natural that the thirteen-year-old would be upset about the situation. But in the end, because of this arrogance, he suffered a mistake that no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't get it back.

…………

About two weeks ago, Sirika joined a party that invited her to venture out into the vast forested area north of the thirty-fifth floor, commonly known as the "Lost Forest".

Of course, the front line now is the fifty-fifth floor far above, and this floor has long been breached. However, the top swordsmen are basically not interested in anything outside of the maze area, so minor mazes like the "Lost Forest" are left alone, making them suitable for intermediate players.

The six-member team that Sirika joined gathered all kinds of good players, and since the morning, they have been constantly fighting, digging treasure chests, and earning a lot of money and items. The adventure ended as the surroundings were gradually dyed with the colors of the setting sun, and everyone's recovery potions were almost exhausted. As they began to prepare to return to the main street district, another female player armed with a slender spear said to her as if she wanted to contain Celica, "Regarding the distribution of items after you go back, since you already have the lizard to help you reply, there should be no need to restore crystals to you." ”

Sirika, who was touched by the reverse scales, immediately fought back: "You are!" A person who doesn't go to the front line at all, just hides and dangles at the back of the line, won't need crystals at all!"

After that, there is a verbal exchange between you and me, and the arbitration of the captain shield swordsman is only a drop in the bucket. A furious Sirika finally dropped these words: "I don't want the props!" I'll never team up with you again! What's more, there are so many teams that want me to join!"

Although the captain tried to keep her and ask her to act together at least before leaving the forest and reaching the town, Sirika, who was deaf to this, immediately separated from the five of them, ran to the fork in the road, and left with a belly full of anger.

"Lost Forest" is no joke, for the top players, there is no risk at all, but for mid-level players, the forest maze known as "Lost Forest" is not for nothing.

If you are a mid-level player with a team of six, as long as you are cautious in the "Lost Forest", there is naturally not much risk, but if you are alone, even if it is Sirika who has Bina's demon, it is too reluctant. In particular, using the Transfer Crystal in the Lost Forest will not return to the town, and will only be randomly sent to a certain area of the forest. It's too difficult.

Silica, who walked alone, ran non-stop, trying to break through the lost forest. However, running on the winding forest path while avoiding the roots of the giant trees was already a very tiring thing, and with the resistance of the monsters that appeared from time to time, Sirika understood that the difficulty of breaking through a person to break through the lost forest was more difficult than she thought.

Fighting, constant fighting, constant evasion, constant avoiding those monsters, coupled with the characteristics of the lost forest itself, made even Sirika who had the map lost, so that the sun was setting, and the night was thick and still did not get out of the lost forest.

Celica was tired. Sirika was anxious, but the Lost Forest did not give any preferential treatment to Sirika because of her tiredness and anxiety, and even brought disaster to Sirika.

At least, for Sirika, it was a disaster of absolute despair. (To be continued.) )
