Chapter 54: Heart Temperature (2)
daojian.html?_ijt=tvt1h9rfvr3gjoeeqra7i6dl6j:43"Dragon...!! ”
While Lizbet muttered, Kirito drew his sword and gave Lizbet an order.
"Hide behind that crystal over there! It's coming!! ”
Lizzy Baett nodded, hiding behind a particularly large crystal nearby. The next moment, the ground in front of Kirito suddenly bulged and exploded with a roar. A large number of snowflakes and crystal shards appeared, and the surrounding effects spread, and a white dragon wrapped in scales and shells, shimmering with pale light like the surrounding crystals, and several crystal-like horns grew on the top of its head.
The color seems to be very similar to Li Ran's color, but Li Ran's color is pure white like white gold, and the body of the crystal dragon is a blue-white crystal. The dragon in this color spread its wings and roared at Kirito and Lilan, but the two were unmoved, just prepared.
Just as Lizbet wondered who could stand in front of such a terrible dragon, Kirito jumped on Lilan's back and grabbed his mane as if he had the reins.
The next moment, Lilan roared at the crystal dragon and spread her wings. Just as Lizbet's eyes widened and she didn't know what was going to happen, a strong chill suddenly erupted from the crystal dragon's mouth, accompanied by a piercing sound effect. - The breath is coming!
"Breath, breath is coming!!"
At the moment when Lizbet screamed, a fierce cold breath erupted from the crystal dragon's mouth, attacking Lilan and Kirito. However, in the next moment, Lilan opened her bloody mouth and spewed out explosive flames from the depths of her body, turning into a scorching beam of aura shining on the dragon's eye.
Liran's breath attack instantly pushed the crystal dragon's breath back, and it didn't take long for a big explosion to make the crystal dragon take a big step back. In an instant, I noticed that the crystals around me were trembling from the violent explosions and impacts.
"Running again, I jumped and slashed him. Can you accept the consequences? ”
"Are you trying to use me as a stepping stone? But if you come up with a new tactic, let's work together.
"I beg you, man!"
After giving the instruction, Kirito immediately kicked Lilan in the back and flew into the air. Then, he lunged at the dragon, slashed off the dragon's neck, and swept it over. And just as Kirito was about to fall into the crystal garden, Lilan quickly rushed over, hugged Kirito on his back, and used Lilan's back as a foothold to jump again and cut through the crystal dragon.
Then, Lilane rushed forward and caught him with her back, while Kirito flew farther and slashed at the crystal dragon, then repeated the same action. The crystal dragon hovered in the air, trying to attack Kirito and Lilan, but it couldn't keep up with the speed of the two and was attacked in only one step.
(What's this?) Good overwhelming battle. Or rather, who is Kirito exactly? )
Normally, he would use his throwing skills to hit an enemy in flight, knock them to the ground, and then launch a short-range attack, but Kirito uses Lilan as a foothold, jumps repeatedly, and hits enemies in flight with melee attacks. The wonderful combination makes the two seem to be one, and the battle between the swordsman and the dragon dance is like a trapeze artist in a circus.
Lizbet saw the appearance of the crystal dragon, and after receiving two attacks in a row, the "HP bar" was significantly reduced, and Lizbet felt a numb in her back. Kirito must have been a captive group to be able to fight like this. However, I have never heard of, or even seen, the existence of Kirito of the Knights of the Blood Oath or the Holy Dragon Alliance, the name of which is Kirito. Who the hell is that swordsman?
As he thought about it, he saw that the dragon's health changed from yellow to red. Thinking it was about to end - Lizzebet thought so and leaned out from behind the crystal, trying to call Kirito, but the next moment, Kirito suddenly shouted in panic.
"Phew, you idiot! Not out yet!! ”
"What's the matter? It's almost over. What are you doing in such a hurry—"
Lizbet was about to say this, but the crystal dragon looked away from Kiritto and Raelen, turned its body to Lizbet, and spread its wings powerfully. And as it moved forward at full strength, a violent storm rose up, engulfing the snow around it and eventually Lizbet. Lizbet let out a scream as her body was blown away by the blizzard, but it didn't take long for her to stop and fall to the ground.
However, after the blizzard disappeared, the ground was gone, and instead a large crater appeared. What the hell is this hole - just as I was thinking this, Liz Bet's body began to fall as if it had been sucked into the hole. Lizzeate screamed again.
"Uh, lie, lie Lie! ”
As I clapped my hands, I suddenly saw a black glove grab my right hand. When I opened my eyes, Kirito was supposed to fight the crystal dragon. It was at this time that Lizzebet discovered that Kirito had stopped fighting the crystal dragon and flew here.
"Kiri, Kirito, Kirito!?"
"Liz, catch me!!"
Kirito pulled Lizzebet's body closer, hugged her, and rested Lizbet's head against his chest. Lizbet didn't know what was going on and clung to Kirito's body. In this way, the two hugged each other and fell to the bottom of the pit.
"Kirito!!"
Surprised that the Master and the Maiden actually fell, Lilan ignored the crystal dragon and tried to jump into the pit, but was repelled by the invisible wall and could not enter.
Landing on an invisible wall, I squinted at the two who had fallen, but soon they disappeared into the darkness.
"Kirito, Lizzebet, ——!!"
As soon as Lizzeate opened her eyes, she was stunned by the darkness in front of her. Lizbet thought Kirito was dead, but when she woke up, she was slightly relieved to find Kirito's body covering her eyes. If you look around, you will see that there are walls all around.
It seems that he was held by Kirito and fell into the bottom of that deep hole.
If you turn your gaze to Kirito, you can see how much life Kirito has left, but perhaps because of the fall from a height, there are very few lives left, and the color also indicates danger, and it has turned red. And I can only say to myself that I have little left of my life, and the color has changed to red.
"Kirito, you're still alive."
Kirito seemed to respond to Lizzebet's voice, sat up, scratched his head slightly, and let out a moan.
"I'm alive. Is Liz safe? ”
"Merely"
Kirito got up, took two things out of his pocket and threw one of them at Lizzebet. After flying into the air, Lizbet retrieved a small vial containing a high-grade potion, which was quite useful in recovering items.
"Drank it.
As he spoke, Kirito put the vial to his lips, tilted it, and began to drink the special potion. Lizbet put her mouth on the small bottle, picked up the straw, and I started drinking like I smoked.
Perhaps it was because she had walked through a cold and snowy area and fought with dragons, and the sweet and sour citrus scent made Liz Bay drink the special potion in one go. If you turn your gaze directly to the upper left, the remaining health that had changed color to red has reverted to green, indicating that it is safe here.
Lizbet took a deep breath and turned to face Kirito.
"Well, thank you for helping me."
Seeing Lizbet's face, Kirito smiled bitterly.
"It's too early to say thank you, I can't stay here forever, I have to find a way to escape. It seems that the dragon will not chase me so far, and I will be saved. ”
"Then why don't you teleport? Let's use teleportation crystals. ”
Kirito gently spread his palms and sighed.
"It's useless, this hole must be a trap for the player to drop, it's impossible to escape so easily, you try to use it."
Lizz Bette nodded, picked up the teleportation crystal in her pocket, held it aloft, and chanted the name of the city.
"Transfer, Linders."
Lizbet's voice rang out all around, then vanished. The transition crystal didn't change in any way, and Lizzebet held the crystal in both hands and sat flat on the ground.
"That's true, the teleportation crystal didn't say anything."
"Originally, if I could use a transition crystal, I would use it when it fell.
Lizbet suddenly had an idea. Kirito has a companion, Lilan, who has huge and ornate wings on his back that allow him to fly through the air. If you call Lilan, he might come running to help you.
"Why don't you go to your house and talk to Lilan? Lilan has wings, can she fly over? ”
"No way, I looked up as I fell, but at that time, Lilan landed in an open place, presumably blocked by the invisible wall that appeared during the activity."
"It was stopped by an event. So, is this some kind of event? ”
"Don't let that happen"
Kirito folded his arms and looked up.
"Maybe, but Lilan can't come in here.
Kirito grimaced as if he had thought of something, and then stood up.
"Can you climb walls?"
"What are you talking about? You idiot? ”
"You won't know if it works unless you try."
As he spoke, Kirito took a step back and suddenly started running, jumping onto the wall, increasing his speed sharply and starting to run towards the wall. Lizz Beth is shocked by the ninja-like moves and dashes that appear in the costume drama.
"Ahh
Seeing that Kirito's body was getting smaller and smaller, and when he reached 1/3 of the hole entrance, he slipped under his feet and suddenly began to fall.
Just as Lizbet was surprised that Kirito screamed and fell, Kirito fell to the ground in front of Lizbet. When the effects of the snow smoke subsided, Kirito had already carved out a clear human-shaped hole.
Just as Lizbet rolled her eyes, Kirito crawled out of the humanoid cave and whispered.
"I wish I had more run-up distance, yes."
"What a fool"
Suddenly, Lizbet looked up, but then realized something and froze. It was already dusk outside the cave, and it was already dark. It looks like it's already night.
"Oh, it's already night."
Kirito crawled out of the hole and sat on the ground, relieved.
"Then it can't be helped. We're camping here until we figure out the end of the incident. ”
As he spoke, Kirito opened the window, and the fingers of his right hand moved quickly. Immediately after, a camping lamp, a pot, a firewood, and two cups were summoned to Kirito. First, Kirito clicked on the camping lantern and turned it on.
Seeing what looked like a real camp, Lizbet's eyes widened again, and she and Kirito sat side by side.
"Hey, do you have anything like this with you?"
"I didn't need it because I already had a house and a transport called rerun, but I forgot to leave it. But I'm glad I forgot. ”
Kirito took the pot, brought up some kind of window, and clicked on the icon. The next moment, charred meat appeared in the pot, and the pot began to fill with something like pale brown soup, and the fire was lit.
After putting the pot on the fire for more than ten seconds, the inside of the pot began to boil, and a browned broth was boiled.
"My cooking skills can only brown the meat, so it might taste worse, but I did it anyway."
Lizbet looked into the pot and pouted. The olfactory sensor smells a good smell like stewed brown meat.
"What are these?"
"As you can see, it's a soup made with brown meat. It is cold, so warm food should be delicious. ”
After Kirito finished speaking, he opened the item window and took out a soup ball.
"Look, it's for Liz."
Lizzebert said "thank you" softly, took the bowl, and looked inside.
A small amount of charred minced meat floated on the surface of the soup, and the taste was very fragrant, and although her face was faintly reflected on the water, Lizbet immediately felt hungry. Come to think of it, I stopped by a coffee shop before I came here, but I panicked when the customers came, so I came without eating anything.
Lizzebet timidly took a sip of the soup. The aroma of barbecue and the taste and umami of light spices spread in my mouth, and I felt my body gradually warm.
Lizbet was somewhat surprised to find that the dish tasted better than she had imagined, even though she thought it was a dish made with her early cooking.
"It's delicious, this"
"yes, well, it's usually made by someone else, so I rarely cook."
"Well, do you live with someone else?"
"yes, I can't go home today, I hope you don't worry."
Lizzebert was a little surprised, and at the same time, she remembered her friend Shino, who she had just met today. Shino also said that she shares a house with others, lives together, and talks happily about that life. - Lizzebet never imagined that Kirito in front of her was also such a person.
(This person is)
Liz Bess thinks he's the most unique person he's ever met.
Just as he suddenly appeared in the store, he asked the monster who was following him to fold his own creations and asked for a custom sword.
The situation was really frustrating, and when I came here together, I joined forces with my own dragon and fought like an aerial circus, he jumped into the hole, tried to escape by climbing the wall, and set up camp at night.
Kirito was the first player to make such a move, and when I talked and interacted with Kirito, I began to feel a strange sense of familiarity.
"It's a little strange that I just came to the place today, and I have dinner with the people I just met today."
"yes, I didn't expect to be camping alongside a girl I just met today. And Lilan hasn't been here in a long time. ”
Lizbet looked up at the sky and asked Kirito as he looked worried about his friends outside.
"Hey, you're the capture team, right? Because you're too strong. ”
"Yes, but what's going on?"
"If I could, I'd like to hear a guide. I've always been a blacksmith before, so I don't know much about strategy and adventure. ”
Kirito looked at Lizzebet's face and gently placed his hand on his chin.
"I see, Liz was leveled up through forging, so you don't know that.
With that, Kirito began to tell Lizbeth about part of his experience.
Although Kirito's story is tens of minutes long, Lizzebeth never gets tired of listening to it because of the rich and varied content. What particularly impressed me was an unreasonable boss fight, where a dozen people continued to attack for two days in order to defeat a clever boss before they met Lilan. Later I learned about its strength, and I knew it too. I heard that when you sleep, you can sleep well by using Lilan as a pillow.
The mere hearing of this story made Lizze's heart skip a beat, and she realized that she had only seen a small part of the world so far, and I found myself living purely in the world that was supposed to exist.
"I really know a lot of what you're right, Kirito."
"I don't know, but I'm here to experience it. No, I guess I have to experience it."
Lizbet smiled lightly, then smiled.
"That's great, Kirito. I was able to experience a lot of things, and I put my whole heart into forging, so I learned about the world and had fun."
"I can do it, it's not too late."
Lizbet let out a "uh" and froze. Kirito pointed to the sky.
"You can feel and enjoy the world anytime, anywhere. This world is not just a game world, it's another real world. ”
"Is that so?"
"yes, at first I thought the world was a game, but then I realized that the world isn't that bad either."
Kirito lowered his finger and turned to Lizbet.
"So, after leaving this hole, Liz should have a good rest, a good rest, and feel the world.
"What if you find it difficult?"
Kirito smiled.
"I'll leave it to the others, but I want you to come to Lilan. He is different from us, he is a true inhabitant of this world. Maybe what fascinates me the most about this world and how to draw it. I know
"It's true that Lilan will be by Kirito's side, but he was originally just a monster and a resident of this world."
I don't know why that dragon can talk like that, acting as if it understands our hearts, but there is no doubt that if you ask that dragon, he will tell you about this world.
"But if you want to feel the world, then"
"In that case, it's better to be with Kirito"
“?”
Unable to hear Lizzebet's voice clearly, Kirito tried to listen again, but the next moment Kirito felt a strange feeling of heaviness and warmth coming from the right side of his body. Kirito turns his face to the right to see what it really is, and is surprised to find that Lizbet's head is there.
"Liz?"
Lizz Bette did not answer. Just when I thought I was asleep, I heard Lizbet's whisper.
"Hey, Kirito. Why did you save me when I fell into the hole? I shouldn't have let you go. Maybe I should die with you. “
Kirito closed his mouth slightly, and replied in the same small voice.
"Because I can't leave her alone. Even more so if it's a girl like Liz. ”
Lizbet leaned against Kirito and said with a smile. In his mind, the words that Lilan had said were replayed again.
"You are such an idiot, you were supposed to be here today for the sword and metal, but before you know it, you miss me more than the sword and metal, you have to put things first." Become the sword that protects you, or the metal that makes it. ”
"That's not true. Indeed, you need a sword to fight, and you need metal to make a sword. But I don't care about these things. No, I don't care, but that's secondary. My thoughts are that the most important thing is the lives of my friends, the people who are with me. ”
"Life"
"I saved you because, as you said at the beginning, without you, the blacksmith, the metal-related incident would not have been possible. I want to protect
"Why"
Kirito lowered his head slightly, his expression a little gloomy.
"I don't want to see anyone die in front of me anymore. I'd rather die with them than let them die. That's what I think. But I'm glad you and me. I'm not over dying, and when I woke up and saw you by my side, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Lizbet closed her eyes gently. Even if it's pitch black in front of you, you can still hear Kirito's breathing in your ears and feel the warmth of Kirito himself in your body.
Ever since I came to this world, I have always believed that this world is a game world after all. I'm sure it's an inorganic world without warmth or temperature.
"But Kirito is different." Kirito has lived in this world with all his might, and has experienced a lot of things. Its philosophy of action is to save other lives, not to conquer the world.
Kirito like this has a warmth that I've never seen in this world with players I've met so far. That's what I've been looking for since I came into this world.
"No, that's not right." It's true that the world is inherently warm, but I've just kept avoiding that fact. Now, Kirito has defeated it. It gave me the warmth I was looking for.
As she continues to feel Kirito's warmth and life, her consciousness gradually begins to fade, and eventually Lizbet falls into a deep sleep
◇◇◇
"Liz?"
I noticed that Lizzy was suddenly gaining weight, so I called her, but Liz didn't respond. Not knowing what happened this time, I looked at Liz again, and before I knew it, Liz had slept soundly. Weigh all the weight on me.
“”
"I never thought I'd sleep like this." In fact, I was going to sleep in a sleeping bag with a concealment function that would eliminate the presence of enemy monsters, but if I continued to move like this, Liz might wake up. After all, I would be scared by disturbing my own sound and comfortable sleep.
(I can't help it, do I just sleep like this)
Sure enough, fighting dragons was tiring, and Liz must have been tired too.
"You're not supposed to do anything here, just go sleep." No, it's dangerous to sleep on a boulder without doing anything, so let's sleep with Liz with a special effect buff that gives a few allies a long stealth effect. This way, even if an enemy appears, you don't have to worry about being targeted.
After finding the hidden skill and activating the skill that grants special effects, I turned off the lantern in my hand and slowly closed my eyes, listening to the sound of Liz's sleepy breathing and heartbeat.
