The person who leads the guild has a charisma and command that brings members together. No leadership. Besides, since I've been fighting a handful of people for a long time, Shino nodded a little uncertainly when I told him that I wanted to continue doing this.
But, I said, "It's not that I don't want to rescue everyone trapped in Aincrad, so of course I'm going to continue arresting them." Inada. Just because everyone is moving doesn't mean you shouldn't move.
After the New Year, we will capture it while upgrading Sinon. Thinking like this, on the fifth day, when I was about to leave the cabin to go on a mission, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Hey, Mr. Black Swordsman, are you there?"
"It was the voice of a panicked man." The Black Swordsman was like a nickname given to me because he wore black clothes and was very strong.
In response to the stranger's voice, Lilan climbed onto my shoulder, her hair standing on end.
"Be careful, Kirito. I might be here for you.
"That's not the tone. But it's better to be careful. If you run again, don't call the guy who came in. Just call me and Shino."
He warned Zairan and Shino, and when he opened the door, there was a slightly thin but tall male player standing inside, wearing simple armor. Since he was not wearing a helmet, his head was completely exposed, but his face was a little pale. ...is the player's face when he feels quite scared.
"I am the swordsman in black... What's wrong with you? Your face is pale."
"Please. Comrades of the guild, avenge my comrades."
"An enemy of your guildmates? Wait, I don't understand what you're talking about. What happened to make you say that?"
The white-faced man explained the situation. After all, this man is the president of the five-member Silver Flag guild. In order to catch up with the raiding group, he was leveling on the 38th floor early on New Year's Day, but he was attacked by "criminals". Guild" is called Titan Hand. It seems that he met and killed all his friends. Hearing this, Shino said in surprise.
"That's... player killing player."
"I forgot to mention it. It's not uncommon here. Players kill players. Ha, that's how I was hit..."
However, the guild had never heard of a name like Titan Hand. They are probably dirty people hiding in the shadow of the Holy Dragon Alliance and the Blood Oath Knights, carrying out assassination activities. If it's a small guild, just disclose the information about the big guild, and they can do whatever they want.
"Even my comrades were killed. It feels so uncomfortable. What should I do?"
Tears welled up in the pale man's eyes.
"Please...catch them all...and put them in jail."
'Even if your comrade is killed, do you want to put the culprit in jail? Why don't you try to kill me?
I spoke to the man as if he represented Lelan's "voice."
"You killed your partner, didn't you? Shouldn't I kill you?"
"You don't have to kill me. If you die in this world, you are really dead. So, although my comrades have been killed, I don't want you to kill them. You just need to put them in prison."
Please, Mr. Black Swordsman... I begged to the prisoner team on the front line from morning to night, but no one accepted... I came to your residence based on the information from the informant. Please avenge my comrades. "
The man finally started crying and grabbed my shoulders with both hands. From this alone, I could tell that the man was shaking, that the man's eyes were trembling and tears were beginning to flow.
However, there was no intention of revenge at all, but instead there seemed to be a soft light flickering.
"This man is very kind." It was precisely because of his kindness that he was allowed to put the criminal in jail instead of killing him. The criminal guild called Titan's Hand killed this guy's partner in front of his eyes and trampled this guy's heart.
I can't even think about it and forgive the criminal guild. No, the Criminal Guild is a group of murderous gangsters who have been unforgivable from the beginning.
"Okay, I'll accept the request."
Shino was surprised by my declaration.
"Really, Kirito. Seriously, I want to fight the criminal guild."
Before answering Sinon's words, the man put his hands in his pockets and stretched them out to me. blue crystal. This is the hallway crystal.
"If you accept this request, use this to give them. I bought it with all my possessions. This is a Corridor Crystal. The exit leads to the prison."
"Involuntarily, my eyes widened." This crystal object with blue light was this man's entire property. The destination is the prison of the Black Iron Palace.
"Sure enough, this man never thought about killing the criminal guild." If he had thought about it for a moment, there would be no Corridor Crystal here, and the man would have armed himself with more powerful equipment and launched an attack on a criminal guild called the Hand of Titan.
"I get it, you can use this guy to send criminals to jail, and I'll make your wish come true."
"alright, thank you very much!!"
When I thanked him, the man let go of my hand and fell to his knees. Those who created the circumstances that forced this man to come to this point should be arrested immediately. Otherwise, you risk repeating your mistakes and hurting players around you.
"That's why we should fulfill this request as soon as possible and put him in jail..."
"Okay, but where are they? You were attacked on the thirty-eighth floor, right?"
"Yes...but actually I don't know where they are. It was my friends who gave me the opportunity to escape, so I escaped...I don't know where they are...I don't know" No Know……"
Lilan frowned when she heard the man's words.
"What do you do? If we don't know where they are, we can't stop them and we can't put them in jail.
Just when Lilan and I were about to get into trouble, the man raised his voice as if he remembered something.
A woman named Rosalia suddenly joined our guild because she said there was a good place to make money. When I followed her, I was attacked and all our rare items were taken away..."
"Rosalía? Is she a green player?"
"Oh, right. But he is an orange player wearing green skin! Because he..."
"Not everyone in the criminal guild is a criminal player." In some cases, the Green Party will take to the streets to hunt down prey players, form a team, move to an ambush point, and slap their fellow criminal players to death Despicable route. Maybe the player named Rosalia also has that mouth.
But I'm lucky, I know his name. As long as I know the player's name, I can ask the players in town to find them. Besides, the Rosalia player shouldn't be hard to find either. He must have appeared in the city many times in search of prey.
"Thank you for knowing my name.
"No, I'm sorry...please...!!"
The man wanted to kneel down again, so I immediately asked him to raise his head and let him stand up. After that, I shouted to Shinon who was listening without saying anything in particular.
number.
"Shino, I'm going to take Lilan with me...can you level up by yourself?"
"No problem. You have been fighting alone until now. I can at least fight alone. But if something happens and I am clumsy, I will let you practice in a slightly lower place. I won't go." Floor 45, calm down and let's go. "
The light in Shino's eyes, which was even stronger than when they first met, was replaced by something that gave her strength and trust. If it were Shino now, she should be able to fight alone.
I felt a little uncomfortable leaving him alone, but I couldn't let him get involved in the fight against an evil organization called the Orange Guild. Besides, she couldn't get the experience points she wanted in the Orange Guild, so Sinon still had to go elsewhere to train her.
"It's reassuring. After all, I've practiced and leveled up, so there's a lot of room for improvement."
"I'm fine, but you're really fine. Fighting the Orange Guild is more dangerous than fighting monsters..."
"It's okay, we have replays, I can't believe the Titan Hands are stronger than the Captive Corps, it's going to end with no problem."
Lilan shouted to Sinon, who had a worried expression on her face that she had never seen when they first met.
"Don't worry. In the end, it doesn't hurt to kick them with 'Human-Dragon Fusion', but if that doesn't work... let's go to hell and beg the demons for mercy.
“Demons in hell say terrible things, don’t they?
Shino's words "cooking" made him react unconsciously. The dishes made by Sinon between leveling and resting were very exquisite, and Lilan and I were both addicted to them. Considering that the upgraded version was still waiting after the mission was completed, I had no choice but to go all out.
“Okay, let’s get a little excited.
"It's okay, just do it, that's enough!"
I said "Let's go to the city together" to the man who begged me, and then said to Shino "If anything happens, send me a message", a "subordinate agent" equipped with an "Interpreter" and coat-like armor, dressed like A swordsman in black took a person to the 22nd floor, a place like a small village, and then sent the person to the city on the 35th floor.
Then, in order to collect intelligence, he began to walk around the city on the 35th floor, but there was only one player on the other side, and it seemed that it was difficult to even collect intelligence. Look at the players on the street. There are so many men and women that it’s almost hard to tell which one is which.
"So, let's start gathering intelligence...where should we attack?"
"The woman's name is Rosalia? There is so much information that is difficult to find. The informant may have some clues that are worth relying on.
"Then let's find the informant first."
