Chapter 621: Zmford
"Actually, it's a good choice, after all, on the one hand, there are real players in reality, and on the other hand, there are data in the virtual world, and the reason why you are so entangled now is just because you get along better with Kizmail."
Ling Ze hit the nail on the head, this is indeed the case, if there is no matter of Kizmer, then Kirito they will not have any hesitation at all, this is just a game, it is understandable for them to save the player who is also a human, what is the point of saving the "dark elf"? Is it because you have a grudge against those five human players?
Although the people of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" are a bit extreme, they are indeed an important part of the "Raiders Group", and it is obviously not something that a normal person can do if they go to the bad people's house without conflicting with them.
"However, if we give the emerald key on this dark elf's body to the people of the Holy Dragon Alliance, it shouldn't ruin their mission, but it will be too difficult."
Ling Ze thought about it for a while, and still suggested that Kiritto give up the idea of saving the life of that "dark elf male knight".
"Brother Ling Ze is right."
Klein was the first to raise his hand in agreement, he felt that there was no need to make a fuss, for an unknown plot character, and a group of madmen from the "Holy Dragon Alliance".
“......”
Kirito and Asuna didn't say anything, but looking at the expressions of the two of them, they also recognized this reality.
And when Ling Ze and the others discussed, the five people of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" had already fought with the "Dark Elf Knight".
However, it is not so much that they are fighting, but rather that they are being beaten unilaterally, and they raise their shields or large weapons in a defensive posture, and they seem to know the direction of this plot, so they are ready to concentrate on defense until the "forest elves" and the "dark elves" in front of them are all gone.
However, they still underestimated the ability of the "Dark Elves", the "Dark Elf Knight" who didn't know what "what tree" knights were launched, launched a fierce attack directly from the front against the five players gathered together, the saber continued to sweep at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, the attack was very fierce, and the special effects of the "Sword Technique" flashed, hitting the players' armor and weapons with a loud sound.
The Dark Elf Knight's body spins like a spinning top, constantly unleashing a continuous range of attacks, a high-level one-handed scimitar sword technique called the "Triple Scythe", the first blow is blocked, the second blow breaks the defense, and the third blow blasts the five players backwards for a large distance.
In fact, one of the important reasons why Ling Ze and the others stopped discussing it was because the battle might no longer require them to intervene, and the plot had directly entered the next stage.
Although the health bars of the five "Holy Dragon Alliance" players have all fallen to the "yellow" danger zone by that blow, this also happens to mean that the plot should be over.
However, under the oppression of the "Dark Elf Knight", the players of the "Holy Dragon United", who knew that they would not die, still couldn't suppress the faster and faster heartbeat, and they still couldn't avoid falling into a state of panic.
"If you had followed my warning and left in the first place, this would not have happened, stupid human.... Remember, you died because of your stupidity. ”
The "Dark Elf Knight" stood in front of the five "Holy Dragon United" players, and let out a voice as sharp as steel, his fierce expression and words were full of oppression.
After finishing his words, the "Dark Elf Knight" aimed at the five people and raised the saber held in both hands, and the sword of the "Dark Elf Knight" began to glow with the vibration sound of "Gong", and he was ready to use this move to kill these humans.
However, just when Asuna couldn't hold back and was about to rush out to save people, the "Forest Spirit Knight" got up.
"Knights of Lyusla, your enemy is me!"
I don't know if it's the "chivalry" that is causing trouble, the "forest elf knight" didn't choose to silently "shoot the black gun", but shouted, and then kicked the ground violently and rushed towards the "dark elf knight".
The weapon in his hand glowed green, and then slashed at the "Dark Elf Knight" at a terrifying speed, although he was "reminded", the "Dark Elf Knight" with his back could no longer dodge, and he could only swing his saber in a strange posture to resist the slash.
The shock wave that spread from the point of contact between the blades of the two sides directly pressed the people of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" to the ground, and even the ground on Ling Ze's side began to shake, which seemed quite exaggerated.
The two elven knights struck each other and were in a stalemate for a while, but the "Forest Knight", whose HP had turned red, obviously had the upper hand, and when the saber gradually approached him, the "Forest Elf Knight" shouted again:
"O Sacred Tree of Karles O! Please give me the final secret skill! ”
As soon as the words fell, a bright yellow-green light burst out near the chest of the "Forest Spirit Knight", and the intense light surrounded the knight's whole body, making a "Boom!" Although the light didn't look like an attack, it completely took away the HP of the "Dark Elf Knight" in an instant, and at the same time, the HP of the "Forest Elf Knight" was completely reduced to zero.
The two elven knights slowly collapsed to the ground in a posture of holding their swords against each other, and the "dark elf knights" directly turned into data fragments, announcing complete death.
“......”
The five players of the "Holy Dragon United" got up from the ground, and their faces were all shocked and funny, and they were very shocked by the tragic ending of the battle.
"To be honest, this kind of plot development is really not new."
Ling Ze, who read the results, expressed his opinion on this plot design, and this was unanimously agreed by non-closed beta players, Klein and the guys of "Wind Forest Volcano" are all old gamers, and this kind of plot has been seen in many games, so they all think so.
Needless to say, when Kirito was in the closed beta, he had already experienced this kind of plot three times, and he had experienced both the "Forest Elves" and "Dark Elves", one was his own mission, and two were to help others, which is why he was determined not to kill at the beginning, because he tried three times himself.
The plot of this series is a completely independent plot, and each squad player will have its own independent story line, so there will be no such phenomenon that players with different positions fighting each other, and each squad is taking its own story line and independent scene, which is also very common in MMORPG, after all, it is necessary to take care of each player's game experience.
However, Asuna is obviously different, she is not very used to this kind of thing, and she needs to understand it slowly.
At the scene of the battle, the dying "forest elves" who fell to the ground confessed their last words to the five people of the "Holy Dragon Alliance", and then turned into light particles and disappeared like the "dark elves", leaving a small leather bag on the grass, which contained the "jade key" in their storyline.
"Haffner, is this a must-lose plot? That's scary, isn't it? I thought that guy was really going to kill us! ”
The man with the broadsword of the five patted his chest and complained, he was really scared for a while, that "dark elf knight" was too terrifying, and he didn't take them seriously at all.
"Of course that guy wants to kill us, Shivada, I don't doubt that."
Haffner, the man holding the flail in his right hand, also looked afraid, if the "Forest Elf Knight" was one step later, then they would probably die under the knife of the "Dark Elf Knight", this plot design is too dangerous.
The five players of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" slowly left the area while complaining about the plot and the performance of their companions just now, and they did not notice Ling Ze and his party.
In fact, even if it is discovered, with the "friendship" that they once fought side by side, it should not be able to wave a sword at each other, but with the guy "Kirito" here, Ling Ze really doesn't have the confidence that they will treat his group with a friendly attitude, because the reputation of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" is average.
After the people of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" left, Ling Ze naturally had no reason to stay, and everyone continued to run towards the town while discussing the changes in the characters in the plot, of course, after coming all the way to the fork, they did not discuss any results.
Why did the plot that had always been played by Kizmer and the "Forest Elf Knight" be played by two different characters? Is it different for every player?
They have a lot of doubts in their hearts, but these questions can't get a definite result at all, and they can't even confirm whether this change is caused by them changing the plot.
Because they have so little information in their hands, it's entirely possible that this phenomenon was a change made by the game after the open beta, after all, they haven't seen anyone else encounter Kizmel, and they haven't seen a second Kizmel appear.
As for Diabel's surprise when he met Kizmail, it was entirely because he was also a closed beta player, and their "Knights of the Silver Hand" chose to do the "guild mission" as soon as possible, and they had not yet entered the main quest.
After thinking to no avail, Ling Ze and the others no longer thought about it, but simply continued to move in the direction of the town.
Soon, following the ancient path, they came all the way to the outside of the main block town, and the huge cast iron gate and city wall appeared in their sight, and the painting style of the third floor of the main block gradually became normal, at least from the outside city wall and city gate.
The bustling sounds peculiar to human towns came from behind the gates, and at the gates were guards with large axes and guns with serious faces, of course, they certainly didn't have long ears.
"This is the town called Zmford."
Kirito introduced to everyone, thanks to his ability to remember so clearly, maybe in these inexplicable aspects, the scumbags are able to show the performance of the top students, isn't this a manifestation of talent?
The group passed through the iron gate, stepped into the tunnel-like passage of the inner city, and finally came to the town that belonged to humans.
However, after entering, they knew that the painting style of this town was not normal at all, because after passing through the tunnel connecting the gate, they saw three super giant trees with full weight.
"It's not ordinary buildings that make up the whole town of Zmfot, but these three towering trees that are close together."
Kirito started the explanation at the right time, which made the stunned Klein, Asuna and others finally relieved.
"It's like a giant baobab tree."
Ling Ze opened his mouth to complain, he estimated that these three trees were built according to the model of the "baobab tree", and the appearance and form were not exactly the same, but it could also be said that they were eight or nine and ten.
Each tree has a trunk diameter of about 60 meters and a height of 150 or 60 meters, and since it is a city created by hollowing out the inside of the tree, the higher the view, the better the view, and at the same time, it can be kept away from the noise of the ground.
"It's great, it's like a building, it's a great idea!"
Asuna opened her mouth to praise that the city was really a bit beyond her expectations, even more outrageous than the second layer.
"That's right, it's a building with different floors, and there are high-end hotels in the upper places, which is not only comfortable to live in, but also a must-see in it."
Kirito followed Asuna's words, but after a slight pause, he spoke again:
"There's no elevator here, so you have to walk to get there."
"I can say that I am used to it, if there is an elevator, it will feel incredible, just walk."
Ling Ze complained, it was outrageous that there was an elevator in this town, and it would be more in line with the world view to replace it with some kind of teleportation array.
"Okay."
Kirito answered, and then led everyone towards the lower right corner of the three huge baobab trees.
The space surrounded by three giant trees is the Transfergate Square of Zmford, which is basically a square in the main block of every town, and no matter what style or structure the city is, this area is indispensable.
"Wait, did we forget something?"
After seeing the blue glowing transfer door, Klein suddenly stopped, and then looked embarrassed.
Although the transfer door has been open for a while, a figure still emerges from it every few tens of seconds.
It can be seen that there are many people who are still wearing novice equipment, or simply not wearing any equipment at all, they should have come here from the first layer of the "starting town", those players who have not yet recognized the reality, or players who have not yet had the courage to take that step, most of them have been absorbed by the "Aingrunt Liberation Army", at least they can barely maintain the basic needs of survival.
