In February 2024 in this world, the lone swordsman Kirito returned from the fiftieth floor of the Aincrad world to the thirty-fifth floor, and accidentally rescued a rare tamed beast in the dark night forest on the outskirts of the world. Master (Dragon Envoy) player Silica, and then the two of them returned to the town retreat on the 35th floor together, planning to stay here for one night.
In Miche's hotel "Feng Xiang Ji Tei", in order to thank Kirito for saving his life, Silica specially treated him to the most delicious cheesecake here, and then the two of them chatted under the oil lamp. stand up.
"Are you OK?"
"Don't worry! With 'Bina's Heart' here, as long as you go to the 'Memory Hill' in the south of Floria on the 47th floor to get the Soul Flower, your familiar Feathered Dragon will be able to be resurrected!"
"NPC partners are much easier to resurrect than players. There is at least three days of relaxation..."
Having said this, Kirito's eyes flashed with sadness, and then he lowered his head silently.
Because, he thought of the resurrection item 'Reviving Saint Crystal' he obtained two months ago, and thought of the 'ten seconds' resurrection requirement, which was an eternal pain in his heart!
Silica's familiar, Bina, can be resurrected as long as she gets the prop 'Flower of Souls' within three days, but his companions will never come back.
"I'm fine. Anyway, thank you Kirito-kun!"
"I'm causing trouble for you..."
Silica didn't feel the emotional changes on her savior's face, she just lowered her head shyly and nervously and kept thanking him.
"Trouble?"
"That's not true. You may not believe it, but I'm actually here to solve the problem this time..."
"Others, like that little girl, must have already started heading towards the boss area on the fifty-sixth floor, while people like me can only come to the thirty-fifth floor to do some small things."
Sighing, Kirito quickly recovered, and then sighed in a self-deprecating tone.
After hearing the message that Xing left for him using the message recording crystal, he had actually figured out that he must not give up on himself and must live bravely until the day he goes back!
"little girl?"
"Which little girl?"
"ah!"
"You're talking about...that incredible 'Her Majesty the Queen,' right?"
Silica was stunned for a moment, and then she finally came back to her senses and knew who the person Kirito just told her was.
"That's right..."
"Other than her, who else dares to defeat the BOSS easily?"
"She single-handedly killed all the BOSS first, and all the props and resources have been tilted towards her. When the equipment cannot keep up, those BOSS are no longer something that ordinary people like us can deal with."
With a wry smile, Kirito didn't even know what to say.
The little girl made great progress, defeated the guardian bosses one after another, and directly reached the 56th floor, clearing more than half of the floors. It looked really good, but...
The problems and worries are not without them, that is:
The opponent has too many top-notch props and equipment, and the gap between other players and her is getting wider and wider. Once the opponent makes a mistake and is destroyed by monsters, it will be difficult for the opponent who is still in the world of Aincrad. It's an absolute disaster for people.
"Huh?"
"I didn't even notice..."
"Has she reached the 56th floor now?"
"I remember that during Christmas two months ago, she seemed to have just reached the forty-ninth floor... It's amazing. Now she has reached the fifty-sixth floor, and I can't even get the wild monsters on the thirty-fifth floor. Still can’t beat it…”
Before, she had been called 'Dragon Envoy Silica' by the middle-level players, and Silica had always been complacent about this.
But look now...
And the one who single-handedly defeated the BOSS from the first floor all the way up to the 56th floor without stopping. It is said that when facing all the BOSS, he will kill all the BOSS with one hit. For a legendary little girl who was defeated with a critical hit, she, the 'Dragon Envoy' who had to rely on Bina's protection to save her life after defeating several wild monsters, seemed to be really incompetent?
"Woo..."
As she thought about it, Silica became even more frustrated, and her chin almost touched her small breasts, which only had a slight curve.
"Aha!"
"As you know, that happened two months ago, but now it's already February of 2024..."
"It took more than two months to conquer the fifty-sixth floor, which is already a bit slow. I guess the food on a certain floor must be too delicious."
It takes two months to break through six floors, and an average of ten days to break through one floor. Although this speed is not slow, Kirito knows that the little girl must be slacking off or staying on a certain floor for too long. Otherwise, based on her ability, , one level a day, and then liberating the entire Aincrad world two months later is not a big problem.
Of course, that was just Kirito's own personal idea. There was no way he could force or require the little girl to work so hard to break through.
"But!"
"Kirito-kun, how do you know so clearly? Do you know her?"
After being depressed, Silica soon became interested.
The Kirito-kun in front of her was so powerful. He could easily eliminate the gorillas in the dark forest by himself. He was also so familiar with what 'Her Majesty' was doing, so she felt that Kirito might be that legend. The little girl's friend?
When she thought about it, maybe only powerful swordsmen like Kirito were qualified to make friends with those legendary figures, right?
"It doesn't count as acquaintance..."
"I've only met a few times in total. The main reason is that her intelligence officer is still a friend of mine, so I can always know some general information about her at the first time."
Thinking of the intelligence dealer known as 'Mouse', and the cat-faced girl Argo who claimed that as long as the price was right, she could even sell information about herself, Kirito shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The information about Argo was indeed very accurate and timely. However, the only drawback was that it was too expensive. Every time he went to find her, he would always spend a lot of money.
For example, this time, when he came to the 35th floor to investigate, he spent a lot of money to get some specific clues about the murder guild from the other party.
"But Silica, you might not know that, right?"
"Although I am not her friend, I am a member of the 'Queen's Guard' that was formed spontaneously!"
"This time, I came here specifically to solve some of her worries. She is very busy, so we cannot leave everything to her. And this is the meaning of our existence!"
Thinking of the murderer's guild and the guy who threatened to ambush 'Her Majesty the Queen', Kirito's face gradually darkened.
To be honest, Kirito really doesn’t know what the brain circuits of those murderous guild lunatics are. The little girl worked hard (eating and drinking) to reach the fifty-sixth floor, and is working hard to clear the 100th floor and liberate the entire world as soon as possible. We are fighting hard in the world of Aincrad, but those people are not willing to help, but they actually plan to hold them back, and even want to ambush the opponent, and then use those massive first-kill items. …
Anyway, he really didn't know what adjectives he should use to describe those villains.
"I really envy you, but I have never seen her once..."
Of course Silica has heard of the spontaneously formed 'Queen's Guard'. It is said that the people inside are all top-notch high-end players who can conquer BOSS?
Some people have even said that if 'Her Majesty the Queen' makes a careless mistake one day, then there is no doubt that the 'Queen's Guards' will take over the burden of 'Her Majesty the Queen', shoulder the task of defeating the BOSS and defeat a hundred Layer's responsibility?
The fact that the Kirito in front of him can join the 'Queen's Guard' fully demonstrates his strength.
"correct!"
"Is she really a little girl?"
After feeling envious, Silica quickly focused her attention on other aspects.
"Um!"
"She is indeed just a child. She looks similar to you and is equally cute, but...she may be a little shorter and smaller, because she is only eight or nine years old at most."
It was a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She would not take out weapons when she was in the city. She would jump around and look like an NPC wandering around.
However, that kind of thing needs to be kept secret, so Kirito doesn't want to describe it too clearly.
"Eight or nine years old..."
"She is so powerful at such a young age, and can defeat terrifying monsters like the layer-defending BOSS alone, but I can't even break through the jungle on the 35th floor, and even bothered Bina to protect me..."
"I really want to meet her..."
After lamenting her own uselessness, Silica suddenly came up with the idea of meeting the little girl and learning some gaming skills or methods from her.
Silica felt that she didn't even need to learn too much. Just learning 1% of the skills from the opponent would probably be enough for her to be used in a team of mid-level players.
"That's easy!"
"Go to the places selling delicious food on the fifty-sixth floor, and you'll always have a chance to meet her."
"Although you may not be able to identify her?"
Thinking of the elusive little girl who never showed her identity in public and who always kept to herself, Kirito gave a rare chuckle.
He thought that it was possible that Silica couldn't even recognize the little girl as she passed by, because that guy's appearance was so confusing. As long as he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe someone like that. This guy is actually a legendary existence.
??Ding dong! ??
??The player 'Anne Hastur' defeated the floor-guarding BOSS 'Geo Crawler' on the 56th floor, and the passage to the 57th floor of the Aincrad world was opened...??
"ah!"
"Look at the system prompts, Silica, if you want to see her now, I'm afraid you should go to the 57th floor to find her..."
After clicking on the prompt and seeing the prompt about killing the BOSS and opening the fifty-seventh floor passage, Kirito first breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and teased the astonished Silica.
He knows that the guard BOSS 'Geo Crawler' on the fifty-sixth floor is a demon holding a big sword. He wears thick armor. The big sword in his hand will continue to lose blood even if he blocks it, making him very difficult to deal with. , not something ordinary people can deal with.
but……
Fortunately, that little girl is definitely not an ordinary person, so now the defensive BOSS 'Geo Crawler' on the fifty-sixth floor has been defeated, and presumably, the big sword in the opponent's hand can ignore the block and attack The murder weapon that caused the damage must have fallen into the hands of the little girl.
"correct!"
"I haven't had time to ask yet, Kirito-kun, what exactly are you going to do on the 35th floor?"
Finally, Silica remembered that important thing that made her a little confused.
"Well……"
"The main purpose is to investigate the murderous guild - Hand of Titan!"
"K-Killing Guild?"
"How could there be such a terrible guild?!"
"Well?"
"Sword Art Online is Silica the first MMO game you played?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"That's no wonder..."
"Maybe you don't know yet? No matter what online game, there are always many players who have changed their personalities. Of course, there are also those who wantonly release the dark side of their personalities and play bad guys."
"For players like us, the arrows for attributes in past tense are usually green, but after committing a crime, they turn orange!"
"and……"
"Once a player commits a murder, he will turn red, and that is the so-called red player!"
"When you encounter people like that, Silica, you'd better be careful, because they really take pleasure in killing people, even if they know that the 'NERvGear' will burn the brains of the players after they die!"
Kirito, who was sitting at the table with his fists clenched and his face darkened, spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.
This is the purpose of Kirito coming to the thirty-fifth floor. He wants to find those people, find that guild, and then, before they do more terrible things, throw them all into the Black Iron Palace so that they can never do anything again. Come out and do such horrible things that are harmful to nature!
"how come……"
"Is there really such a person?"
Covering her mouth, Silica still couldn't believe it.
"Anyway, you can never go wrong by being careful and protecting yourself!"
Kirito didn't plan to continue talking, because according to reliable information, the murderer's guild "Titan Hand" was currently entrenched here on the 35th floor. He couldn't guarantee whether what he said would be ignored by some lurking murderer around him. Guild members were heard.
"Um……"
"Thank you Kirito-kun, thank you for telling me so much."
I learned a lot of incredible things that I had never been exposed to before, and got a promise from the other party that tomorrow he would take me to the "Memory Hill" on the 47th floor to get the prop 'Soul Flower' and resurrect his Winged Dragon familiar. Na, thinking that the other party cared and helped her so much, and was so powerful, Silica's cheeks gradually turned red.
