"So, Brother Ling Ze, how did you deal with him?"

After getting Ling Ze's answer, Klein asked cautiously, he actually had a guess in his heart, after all, according to Ling Ze's ruthlessness to the enemy before, the fate of the little blacksmith Nezhha who played them was not expected to be very good, maybe he was dead.

This time, Klein didn't even have any sympathy for Nezha, who pretended to deceive them and deceived Asuna's most important weapon, which was a deserving death, and if he hadn't killed him, I don't know how many more people he would have harmed.

"I didn't do anything with him, just ask him to hand over Asuna's Wind Flower Sword, and then don't do this kind of thing again."

Ling Ze's answer was a little unexpected, it was completely different from what Klein thought, and it seemed that he was a little too casual.

This kind of "fraud", even if it is put into the real world, will definitely not be so simple to deal with.

After all, whether it is "Sword of Fortitude +4" or "Wind Flower Sword +4", it is a priceless treasure in SAO, and it can definitely be regarded as a big case in the real world, and it is a light sentence if he is not sentenced to "decades in prison".

"Actually, you should all be able to understand, right? The reason why that guy behaved like that before was obviously because he had done bad things, and then he wanted to use methods such as waiving fees, buying a sword of tenacity that could no longer be strengthened, and compensating for a other thin sword to seek peace of mind, that guy is really not a liar. ”

Ling Ze sighed, Nezha that person, say he's bad, he can't be considered an evil person in essence, but you say he's okay, he's indeed a liar.

Last night, after everyone disbanded, Ling Ze returned to the East Square and saw the conscientious Nezha again.

However, this time, he did not take the initiative to show his form, but kept watching Nezha work from the sidelines.

In SAO, there is a special "concealment skill", Ling Ze opened the window and activated SAO's "concealment skill", and a small indicator appeared below his vision, and the "90%" displayed on it represented the "concealment rate".

"90", that is, ninety percent of Ling Ze's figure has been "integrated" into the trunk behind him, this value will increase or decrease in detail due to the type and color of the armor, the surrounding terrain and brightness, and the player's movements, which is a scientific, but not so scientific skill,

The "concealment rate" of "90" was already quite high, it was dark at that time, and there was no one else nearby, the concealment effect exerted its maximum function, and Nezha was not aware of his existence at all, of course, even if he did not use this SAO's "concealment skill", Ling Ze would be able to observe his actions in the dark unconsciously.

SAO's "hidden skills" are quite monotonous and tiring to practice, so few people really learn to understand them, except for some "yellow players" who can only survive by stealing, which can also be said to be "specialized in the art industry", which is quite a chicken skill for most people, but it is a fundamental livelihood skill for them.

"Concealment skills" are of course effective against monsters,The primary "concealment skills",It's more than enough to deal with the monsters of the first and second layers.,Of course,To exclude some non-visual monsters,But when facing humans,,It's easy to find if you don't master it in depth.。

For some players with a keen perception, even if the "concealment rate" reaches "70", there is a high chance of being recognized.

Moreover, it is quite rude to use "concealed skills" on the streets of the "safe zone", and will even be tacitly regarded as a "criminal act", and some players who call themselves "discipline inspectors" specialize in patrolling and checking in the "safe zone", and once they are caught using the "concealed skills", they will be investigated as "thieves".

Although some people think that they are troublesome, most people are supportive of this, after all, except for the existence of "stealers" and "yellow players", there are few people who practice "hidden skills" seriously, and using "hidden skills" in the "safe zone" must be uneasy and kind, either "stealing" or "voyeurism".

The "voyeurism" here does not refer to the kind of "voyeurism", because SAO is a game with an "anti-harassment function".

Whether it is physical contact or verbal harassment, this kind of bad behavior will directly trigger the system's "anti-harassment function", and the harasser will generally be warned first, and if the warning is invalid, then the system will automatically implement punishment.

Of course, the "anti-harassment function" does not mean that female players have an overwhelming advantage over male players, because outside the "safe zone", people can still kill you if they want to, and killing people is not counted in the jurisdiction of the "anti-harassment function", which is very clear in the system.

Therefore, the so-called "voyeurism" is actually like Ling Ze, using "concealment skills" to lock on to the target and track it.

Ling Ze had been observing what Nezhha was doing, and found that his work was going well, and there were no more problems.

The success rate of ordinary players strengthening weapons in him did not live up to his "player blacksmith" sign, the success rate was obviously much higher than that of NPC blacksmiths, and his reputation spread quickly, and the big disturbances made before played a certain role in fueling the fire.

Nezha packed up his things and left at nine o'clock, and went out through the south arch of the East Square, Ling Ze followed him, all the way to the southeast of "Urubas" near the outer wall, Nezha stopped in front of a sign that emitted a hazy light, and the sign illuminated by the oil lamp had "BAR" written on it, apparently a tavern, although the location of this tavern was a bit off.

It's not unthinkable for a player who has been working all day to have a drink in a tavern at night, but Nezhha's performance and behavior clearly don't fit this mentality, he acts like he doesn't want to enter the store at all, hesitates for more than ten seconds before pushing the door, and his steps seem to be quite heavy.

After Nezhha entered the tavern, Ling Ze had no choice, in SAO, all "closed doors" would in principle block all sounds, even doors with gaps between the top and bottom, if you want to hear the sounds inside, you must learn the skill of "eavesdropping".

Ling Ze didn't hesitate at all, he pushed the door directly and walked in, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in the tavern, there were not many guests in this remote tavern, and every time a new one came in, it would attract everyone's attention.

"Nirvana, it's okay to take a big sip with confidence! Anyway, no matter how much alcohol you drink here, you won't get drunk! ”

There were only five or six players in the entire tavern, and they were fighting two tables and shouting very lively.

At the head of the group was a young man in leather armor, holding a large glass of "beer" and holding Nezhha's shoulder, he was much taller than Nezha, and holding Nezha was like holding a small pier.

Nezha nodded cringely, and then had to take another sip of the wine glass, which made the players around him laugh happily.

These players don't seem to be particularly old, at most they are high school or college students.

“......”

Nezha, who was surrounded in the middle, looked helpless, but he didn't dare to resist, after seeing Ling Ze who pushed the door in, his already bitter face instantly froze there.

In such a remote place, it was obvious that Ling Ze could not have come here by accident, Nezha was extremely clear about this, so the reason why Ling Ze came here was very clear, it was for him, and it was probably to follow him, which made Nezha extremely shocked in his heart.

"What's wrong? Nirvana? What are you in a daze? What about your harvest today? Take it out and see if we can continue to be chic in the future, but we all count on your efforts. ”

Seeing Nezha there stunned and in a daze, asking and not answering anything, the leading young man reached out and patted Nezhha's face, which made Nezha wake up suddenly.

"What... What a catch..."

Niezha stumbled in reply, and as soon as this sentence came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and sure enough, the leading young man, as well as the other players around him, changed color.

"Nirvana, do you know what you're talking about? Do you want to keep things in your possession? Have you forgotten who helped you complete the blacksmith quest and made you a blacksmith? ”

The leading young man's hand on Nezhha's shoulder was already exerting force, which made Nezha feel his anger and made him even more overwhelmed.

Nezha didn't dare to take out the "Wind Flower Sword +4", he was afraid that Ling Ze would find out the truth of all this, of course, he was not worried about what Ling Ze would do to them, he was worried that Ling Ze, who would definitely come over to theorize, would be embarrassed by these people around him.

However, his inner cowardice could not make him fight, and under the verbal pressure of the leading young man, he finally compromised, and Nezha took out the "Sword of Fortitude +4" and "Wind Flower Sword +4" with a disgraced face.

And the people who saw these two weapons instantly let out a "oh oh oh! Obviously, the value of these two weapons can be seen by them as gamers, so they are naturally very excited.

"What a bountiful harvest! These two weapons should be able to sell for forty or fifty thousand kels, right?! It should be possible, right?! Yes? Nirvana?! ”

The young man in the lead was very excited, and he put his hand on Nezhha's shoulder and asked the blacksmith by profession.

"Ahh Well... At this stage, it's okay to ......"

Nezha's eyes wandered, and he always looked at Ling Ze uncontrollably, when he was not discovered, he could still control himself, but he felt guilty in his heart and wanted to try his best to make up for it, but now that he was chased here, there was only fear left in his heart, and the guilt of doing bad things welled up in his heart.

"What's the matter with you? Nirvana, what's wrong with that person? ”

The young man in the lead had obviously noticed that something was wrong with Nezha, and he looked at Ling Ze who was sitting next to him suspiciously, his vigilance immediately made his face become serious, and his companions also got up one after another.

"Sure enough......"

Ling Ze is not nervous, in fact, there is no need to be nervous for anyone to come, after all, this place still belongs to the "safe zone", even if there are twice as many people, no one can do anything in the "safe zone".

Nezhha's current state is exactly the same as Ling Ze's previous judgment, this kid still has a conscience in his heart, although because of cowardice, Nezha chose to succumb to these people, but he still wants to use his own way to try to alleviate some guilt for himself, Nezha himself knows that it is just self-deception, but he doesn't want to let himself sink like this.

Before, when facing Ling Ze's comfort and advice, Nezha just kept apologizing, but couldn't say anything else, that was because he didn't want to make up other reasons to deceive Ling Ze and them, and when facing the curse of "Brother Swinging Sword", he just listened with a bitter face, because he knew that he deserved to be scolded.

Nezha had obviously only been in this business for a short time, so he was still able to maintain this mentality, and he still felt a deep sense of guilt for it, he had not yet adapted to it, he had not yet become numb.

"Don't follow them, do what you want to do, the more cowardly you are, the more they will get worse, and in the end, you will only be made by them to become a ghost and a ghost, and you will become a person who doesn't even want to believe you."

Ignoring the young people who got up and gathered around, Ling Ze opened his mouth and said to Nezhha, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this young man had a clear conscience and was ashamed of what he had done, he wouldn't have bothered to do this at all.

"I ......"

"Shut up!"

Nezha timidly raised his head to look at Ling Ze, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the leading young man tyrannically, who looked at him viciously and stretched out a finger to point at his nose and scolded.

"Nezhha! How dare you betray us?! Do you want to die?! Do you really think we wouldn't dare kill you?! ”

The young man burst out in a foul mouth, shouting very simple and brutal threats, like a street thug, or rather, they were probably a bunch of street thugs, and the rabble was almost unobstructed.

"I don't have ......"

Nezha was scolded and shrunk his neck, he was actually very innocent, how could he have the courage to betray these people?

"I came with him, that Wind Flower Sword +4 is my friend's sword, Nezhha, give me back that sword."

Ling Ze opened his mouth to relieve Nezhhar from the siege, and took the opportunity to ask for the sword back, but the other party obviously did not intend to agree to him, of course Nezhha was a hundred willing, but he didn't have the courage, so he could only keep his head down and not speak.

"If you don't pay it back, what can you do?"

The young man turned around and came to Ling Ze, his street ruffian style was simply engraved in his bones.
