Lizbet slowly raised the hammer while concentrating. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at the moment when he was about to strike the first blow on the metal material-

"Good morning! Liz!" The studio door was abruptly pushed open, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Wow!" Because the door to the studio suddenly opened, Lizzebet's hand was completely deflected. The hammer struck not the metal, but the corners of the anvil, and sparks sparked with the humiliating effect.

Lizzebetter looked up and saw the intruder scratching his hair and sticking out his tongue and smiling, "Sorry, I'll pay more attention next time." ”

"I'm tired of hearing that, Asuna...... Forget it, it's good not to start tapping like this. After sighing and getting up, and putting the metal back into the furnace, Lizbet turned around with her hands on her hips and looked at the girl who was slightly taller than herself, the deputy head of the Void Brigade, the strongest guild in SAO, Asuna. "Asuna, good morning." ”

Watch as Asuna moves around the studio very automatically, sits down in a round white wooden chair, and then brushes her waist-length chestnut hair with her fingertips. Every action is like making a movie, and even Liz Bett, who has known Asuna for a long time, can't help but be fascinated by it.

He sat down in a chair in front of the anvil and leaned his hammer against the wall. Lizbet asked, "So, what's the matter with running here so early?"

"Ah, I'm going to trouble you with this." Hearing Lizzebet's words, Asuna unsheathed the sword that was slapped at her waist and gently threw the sword along with the sheath. Smile please.

Lizbet took it with one hand and pulled the blade out slightly. Although the light has weakened due to constant use, the sharpness should not have decreased.

Lizbet, who was sure of this situation, looked at Asuna a little puzzled, and said, "It's not enough to be unusable, it's too early to polish it, right?"

Asuna was a little embarrassed and gently wrapped her fingers around a strand of chestnut hair, and said, "That's right, but I want to keep it shiny." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Asuna say this, Lizbet revisited Asuna. The knight's uniform with a gold-rimmed sword mark on the white cloth and a miniskirt was the same as usual, but the boots were shiny like new, and there were even small silver earrings on the ears.

Lizbet, who found that Asuna's whole person was different, snickered, "It's really suspicious." If you think about it carefully, today is a weekday, how is the guild's strategy scheduled? Aren't you going to level up?"

Hearing Lizzebet say this, Asuna smiled shyly. He whispered, "Well, I'm taking a leave of absence today, because I have an appointment with someone later......"

"Whoa——? Hearing Asuna say this, Lizbet took a few steps closer to Asuna, despite the rattling of her chair. Loud and curious: "Recruit me from the truth!" Who are you going to meet?"

"Secret, secret!" Asuna, whose cheeks were getting redder, turned her head away. Whispered.

Lizbet crossed her arms, nodded deeply and said, "I see, I think you've been inexplicably cheerful recently, and it turns out that you've got a boyfriend." Who are you, really curious......"

"That's not the case!" The flush on Asuna's cheeks was more pronounced again.

The shy Asuna cleared her throat, then looked at Lizbet and said, "Am I really much worse than before......?"

"Well, compared with half a month ago, it's really a lot different, you must know that half a month ago, whether you were asleep or awake, your mind was full of strategy mazes. It's a well-known strategy ghost in SAO. Lizzebet, who had a snickering on her face, said, "I'm still wondering if you're going to be too tight, but it's been a little different since half a month ago." At least I can't imagine that you'll skip your usual leveling strategy. ”

"Yes, yes...... Sure enough, it was affected......" Hearing Lizzebet say this, the flush on Asuna's cheeks became more and more seductive.

"So, who is it? Do I know each other? Hmm, who the hell changed our strategy ghost Asuna, super curious, well, no matter how you think about it, it should be ...... Who? Touching her chin, Lizzeate snickered at Asuna, who was a little anxious, and snickered.

"Don't guess." Asuna, who was a little flustered by Lizbet's staring, said anxiously.

"Bring someone next time for me to see." Not caring about Asuna's panic at all, Lizbet Quada patted Asuna's shoulder and said with a blessed face.

"It's really not what you think! It's just ...... Unrequited love...... And, he ...... "Faced with Lizbet's blessing, Asuna was a little lost.

"What——!" Listening to Asuna's words, Lizbet was shocked from the bottom of her heart this time. Asuna is not only the deputy leader of the strongest guild Void Brigade, but also the top ten beauties of Aingrant, and there are so many men who want to chase her that Lizbet never dreamed that she would chase her in reverse.

"Well, he's a weirdo." Asuna, who was muttering, stared into the air in obsession, a smile on her lips. If this is a shoujo manga, the background used to set off her must be a large number of flowers flying around. "Is it unpredictable...... Or do you want to go your own way...... And it's messily strong. ”

"Oh, is it better than you?" Listening to Asuna's words, Lizbet asked curiously.

"It's so strong, I can't even hold out for a minute if I go head-to-head." Asuna affirmed.

"Oooh – that would whittle down the list to a certain extent." Listening to Asuna's words, Liz Bett nodded, and began to quickly flip through the list of raiders in her mind.

In the entire game, there are not many people who can win against Asuna alone, and there are less than twenty people in the strategy group and the orange guild smiling coffin who can suppress Asuna.

Seeing that Lizbet seemed to be flipping through the roster of the strategy group in her head, Asuna waved her hands in a panic. Anxiously said: "Wow! Don't imagine it!"

That person's identity is very special, and if Lizzebet knew about it, it would really be a big problem.

Seeing Asuna so anxious, Lizbet gave up the avatar that was already clear in her mind, waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I sincerely look forward to the day when you bring him to see me." ”

"Well, Liz, if it were possible, I, I'd ...... Yes! Oops, hurry up and help me grind!" Asuna, who had found that time had been spent in small talk, became a little anxious. The appointed time is almost up.

"Ah, yes, I'll do it right away, you can wait a minute." Lizbet, who knew that the person who disturbed the girl's love was about to be kicked to death by a horse, quickly stood up with Asuna's rapier and moved towards the rotating whetstone installed in the corner of the studio.

Draw the rapier from the red scabbard. The weapon class "Rapier", known as "Twinkle Light", is one of the most advanced swords that Lizzebert has smelted in the Void Brigade to date.

Even if you use the highest-grade materials you can get now, and use the highest-grade hammers and anvils, the quality of the weapons you make is uneven, and you should be able to make one of these swords every three months, because the values are completely random.

Speaking of this work, there is also a story that belongs to Lizbet,

At that time, this rapier was originally supposed to be forged by another forger in the team, Yuli, but with the support of Asuna and the group leader, the forging of this sword was handed over to Lizbet, and finally, relying on this sword, Lizbet successfully counterattacked Xili and became the chief forger of the Void Brigade.

Afterwards, Lizbet asked the Captain why he supported him in building this crucial sword. The answer is that in the eyes of the regiment commander, he is more talented than Xili.

Even though Xili is already the most famous blacksmith in the entire SAO, the head of the regiment still doesn't agree with Xili's forging method, saying that Xili's hand is not the hand holding the hammer, and that Xili can't comprehend the way of casting life.

Although up to now, Lizbet has been a little unimpressed by the idealistic statement of the regiment leader, but, after all, it was the regiment commander who said it, even if it is not the same thing, you must pay attention to it.

And, seriously, by now, Lizzebet really has a little bit of a sense of forging the way of life.

Lizbet supported the blade with both hands and sent it to the slowly rotating whetstone. Sharpening a weapon does not require special skills, it can be done by holding it against the whetstone for a while. Even so, Lizbet, who believes in forging the way of life, still doesn't want to do it casually.

Carefully slide the blade from the handle to the front. Orange sparks flew along with a sharp metallic sound, and the silver light gradually awakened. When the grinding is complete, the rapier also reverts to a pure silver color that shines and reflects when illuminated by the morning sun, and even has a piercing sense of silver.

He threw the sword back into its sheath and threw it at Asuna. At the same time, he caught the hundred silver coins that she bounced over. Lizbet smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage!"

Even if they are fellow Void Brigade companions, there is a fee for forging and repairing weapons. The brother is settling accounts, and Claire is doing a good job of this.

The members of the team own their own property. In this way, these members will follow the team with confidence, after all, there are constant producers, there is perseverance.

"Next time, I'll ask you to help repair the armor—I'm in a hurry, so I'll go first." Asuna stood up and hung her rapier from the belt around her waist. Said with a smile.

"It's so much that people care - I'll go with you, too." Looking at Asuna, who was shyly looking forward to a date like a little girl, Liz Bett said with a smile.

"Huh! No, no!" Hearing Lizzebet say this, Asuna said a little panicked.

"Hahaha, just kidding." Waving her hand, Lizbet smiled and said, "Come on, work hard!" ”

"Well, we'll be talking next time." With a wave of her hand, Asuna ran out of the studio as if she were running away.

Seeing Asuna exuding youthful love like this, Lizbet sighed and sat back in her chair.

"That's good." This sudden blurted out line made Lizzeate smile bitterly.

"Can I trigger an event like 'Gorgeous Encounter'?" Lizbet shook her head like a wave drum as she spoke, shook the strange thought away, and stood up. Looking at the burning fire, he recalled the vague avatar that appeared in his mind at that time, and said a little uncertainly: "I hope that Asuna's object is not the head of the regiment, otherwise, it will be too hard." ”

Thinking like this, Lizzebet gently pulled the piece of metal out of the fire and struck it heavily.

……………

Half a month ago.

The sixty-fifth floor of Ayn Grant, the labyrinth of the ancient city.

"Horizontal Quartet Slash!" 's golden flash pierces through the darkness and reduces the health of both scarecrow monsters to zero at the same time.

While using the corner of his eye to confirm that the polymorphic fragments are scattered, he retracts his sword while the hitstun time is released, and turns around to bounce away the ghost attack that is approaching from behind. Then, Zheng Shuanglong once again issued the same skill, which will emit a terrifying and piercing cry, and the ghost will be solved.

The place where Zheng Shuanglong is fighting now is the sixty-fifth floor, the ancient city labyrinth known for its horror floors. The vast majority of the monsters that haunt are scarecrows and ghosts.

Forget about the scarecrow, the combat members of the Void Brigade are not afraid of such a guy at all, but the ghost haunts make it a big problem, and Asuna, the deputy commander of the Void Brigade, is afraid of ghosts, and there is no domineering ghost of the Raiders in this labyrinth. Instead, it's as cute as a little girl.

At least, compared to the real little girls such as Fei, Theo, and Lixia, who didn't care about slashing the ghost with the sword in their hands, Asuna's performance was really cute and surprising.

"Asuna, switch!" The leveling of the Void Brigade is a little excessive, even if it is at the very front, it is to select several monster refresh points and force the war with super strength.

Then, such a chaotic leveling, even if he was completely prepared, was a little difficult for Zheng Shuanglong, in the dark maze of horrors, under the faint light of the torches, after three hours of continuous fighting, his concentration was really a little sluggish.

Therefore, Zheng Shuanglong, who has been fighting for such a long time at this best and most efficient leveling point to earn experience points at the forefront of the frontline, also needs someone to cooperate.

Asuna is the candidate for Zheng Shuanglong's leveling. However, it seems that because of the ghost, Asuna's battle can't be stopped.

At least, when Zheng Shuanglong asked for the switch, Asuna did not reach a tacit understanding of the switch as quickly and perfectly as before, but instead held the thin sword in her hand and did not dare to step forward.

Ghosts and all that were really, really hard for Asuna. This is true whether it is a real ghost or a ghost-like monster.

"Wow!" Asuna, who almost pierced the air with the thin sword in her hand, closed her eyes tremblingly.

Before the ghost's hand touched Asuna's body, Zheng Shuanglong completed the transformation of the twin sword streams, and two sword lights wrapped in gold slashed the ghost. (To be continued.) )
