"Kirito, it's great that everything is okay. Kirito protected me, but the situation is very strange because he didn't come at all."
Kirito was a little surprised by the words coming from the premiere with his face buried in his body. Yui, Strea, and Lilan were all worried about me, but that also included the AI premiere, which was different from them.
At first it was like the premiere of Inorganic Machine, and I didn’t know when I started to worry about myself. He said happily that Premiere could do the same, but on the other hand feeling sorry for worrying him, Kirito stroked Premiere's hair with his left hand.
"Thank you for your concern, Premiere. I'm fine."
The Prime Minister nodded and rubbed his face against Kirito.
Just after that. In Kirito's mind, the things he wanted to ask his daughters came back to life. By the way, the reason why I came here was to meet my daughters, to confirm that I was okay after logging in, and then——.
As I thought about my final purpose, a familiar voice came from near the center of the room.
"Kirito."
I couldn't help but react and look there. From near the center of the room with the table, there was a figure walking towards me.
She is characterized by long black hair like Yui, big breasts like Strea, and brown eyes like Lilan. She wears white coat-like equipment and a black headband on her head.
It was their developer, their mentor Elise. Seeing that look, Kirito was slightly surprised.
"Mr. Ellis, why?"
"This morning Yui made an emergency call. Something unusual happened to Kirito. \"SAo\" Please log in and see me. If it is Yui's request, you cannot refuse it because you are worried about Kirito, so Just came here. I happen to have a break from work today."
Kirito looked down at Yui on his chest. Yui raised her head and nodded. This is an unerring claim made by Elis. Elise came to Kirito's side and put her hands on her waist.
"Oh my, Kirito. I heard what Yui and the others said, but I still can't understand the details. What happened yesterday, can you tell me as much detail as possible?"
Kirito walked to the center of the room where Elise was thought to be and sat on a chair on the stump table that was used as a dining table. After confirming that everyone was sitting together, he truthfully told the results of the examination at the hospital yesterday.
During the conversation, Yui, Strea, and Lilan all made sounds of surprise, but Elise had a sinister look on her face and said nothing, continuing to listen to Kirito's words. I also listened to the premiere silently, but there was no change in my face from what I was worried about.
At the moment the conversation ended, Elise finally spoke and let out a deep sigh.
"Although the loss of consciousness after the urge not to protect came, it was not Kirito-kun's, but the Avatar still continued to act, his eyes turned red, and he displayed abnormal attack power and agility?"
"Since Shino said it, this is what happens when my consciousness disappears."
"Moreover, when Kirito logged out, the abnormal secretion of adrenaline and norepinephrine caused physical fatigue. That's what the doctor said."
"I checked my brain, and he said that's right. The reason why I became like this is that I used digital drugs."
Elise sighed again and Yui said loudly.
"Impossible! We are all watching dad's entertainment industry!"
"Kirito's Amusfia doesn't have digital medicine! Let's watch carefully with our eyes!?"
Yui and Straya's protests were natural.
Kirito Bo has repeatedly commissioned Yui, Strea, and Lelan to scan Amiusfia's systems and functions to see if there are any virus infections and harmful programs.
If there are illegal programs like digital drugs in AmUSFIA, they will immediately find and delete them and tell us the results.
However, in that scan, they have not found any improper programs in Armusfia so far, and they have always told me that Kirito's Armusfia is a sound VR machine that has not been violated in any way.
Precisely because their characteristics are not lying and conveying the truth, Kirito believed this and kept using Amusfia. Elise nodded at the girls' claims.
"Well, that's what Yui and the others said, and it's correct. As Yui and the others' developers, I can guarantee it."
“But I said it’s right to use digital medicine.”
Elise poked at the window that had been opened at some point with her fingertips. Although I couldn't see the content inside, I must have memorized everything Kirito said. After staring at the note window for a few seconds, Elise returned her gaze to Kirito.
"Just as the doctor responsible for examining Kirito said. Kirito's physical symptoms are very similar to those of "Krimson High" users."
"\"Krimson High\"?"
Kirito felt uneasy about the appearance of a word similar to Kombat Gao and Kramers Gao. Elise immediately explained.
\"Krimson High\" is a digital medicine created by anonymous users. The digital drugs that dominate the streets are substitutes for oversecreting norepinephrine and intentionally causing comfortable hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. However, in addition to norepinephrine, this "Clinson High" also has the ability to cause adrenaline abnormalities. The role of secretion.
If there is too much adrenaline, humans will be stimulated to fight and become aggressive, and some people will even turn into violent beasts. What creates this violent state is "Krimson High", whereby the user gains attack power, agility and senses that are usually unimaginable, and can do things that are impossible to do normally.
"I thought you must know, but it seems not."
"Is this kind of thing rampant on VRmmo?"
"Yes. However, if you use such a thing, there will be a great burden on the body. Amyusfia will detect an abnormality and be forcibly logged out. Moreover, users who are forcibly logged out will have a high probability of adrenaline Excessive secretion of hormones and norepinephrine." Yes. That's just like you were yesterday. "
Turning his eyes to Kirito, Elise tapped the window with her finger.
"However, "Krimson High" can only abnormally improve the user's fighting ability. Although the user is unconscious, there is no logout process, and there is no heard that the Avatar will make the eyes red and play abnormally. The attack power is ridiculous, this is impossible. Therefore, it can be said that Kirito's is neither "Crimson High" nor digital medicine."
Maybe it's because Shino is the doctor who has been diagnosing her to this day, and Elise's diagnosis is more reliable than yesterday's doctor. However, despite this, the uneasiness and fear of the inexplicable thing in Kirito's heart did not disappear. Elise didn't say anything important.
"So, what exactly is mine? Don't you know what it is, Miss Ellie?"
""
She couldn't help but use her real name, Ellie, but Elise looked like she didn't care about anything and returned her eyes to the window. After more than ten seconds of silence, Elise turned her gaze somewhere. I caught up and saw Lilan sitting there.
\"Lilan, aren't you able to guess better than me?\"
"Eh?"
Kirito turned to Lilan in surprise. Yui, Strea, and even the premiere all turned their attention to Lilan with surprised expressions on their faces.
Then Lilan looked like she had bitten a bitter insect into pieces. What Elise said seemed to be Lilan’s favorite.
\"Lilan, do you know anything?\"
Even when she turned around to ask again, Lilan didn't speak. It seemed as if something heavy was blocking Lilan's lips. Lilan probably didn't want to speak.
However, if Lilan knew something, she couldn't stop here - just when Kirito had to ask him what he meant again.
"When I saw you in that battle, I can honestly say that Kirito at that time was like me who went berserk in Einclade."
The words that came out of Lilan's mouth had already been heard from Sinon.
Sinon said that she was very similar to Lilan who was out of control at that time, and there was nothing she could do about it. Moreover, Kirito could not deny this. When Lilan was on the rampage, her most distinctive feature was her red eyes and her abnormal attack power.
Thinking of Lilan at that time, a chill ran down his spine, but Kirito couldn't bear to ask Lilan.
"Did you indeed absorb a defense organization called Holo Avatar at that time, and be dominated by the Holo Avatar's defensive instincts? Did you become like that?"
"Yes. My meaning didn't exist at that time. I just followed the instinct of the 'defense agency' and indulged in polluting the world and killing the things I wanted to destroy. And this continues in this world."
Kirito couldn't help but be surprised, but it was only Kirito. Yui, Strea, and Iris have all understood the basic advantages of Suzhen. I don’t seem to know what the premiere is going to be like.
“What does it mean to live in this world?”
"That's what it means. The thing that transformed me into this at that time will continue to live in this world."
This sentence made Kirito's hair stand on end. What caused Lilan to lose control was Einclyde's defense agency, Holoo Avatar. But it has been cleared away, and Lelan is no longer the same person she was then. The virtual Avatar also disappeared along with Eincrad.
It should be like that, is that virtual Avatar alive on this earth?
"What's going on? The virtual Avatar is still alive."
So Elise began to explain again.
Although the Void Avatar is indeed dead, the defense mechanism itself that protects the world is still alive. This is something that is originally installed on the Cardinal system itself. If it is a game using seeds, the mission of protecting the world will definitely exist.
However, this defense organization does not have a physical body and vessels. Without vessels, it cannot act and cannot complete its mission. Because of this, SAo has prepared a vessel called the Virtual Avatar, and the defense agency has taken action.
——This is Elis’ explanation.
"Is the virtual avatar a container?"
"Yes. The defense mechanism is indispensable for protecting this world, and it has the Cardinal system at its core. Moreover, it has a powerful force that can be said to balance Blake. Thanks to this defense mechanism card that balances Blake In an emergency, Diener can eliminate threats to the world.
However, the defense establishment does not have the bodies like Leland and Yui. Without a physical container, defense can do nothing. The virtual Avatar was prepared for this, but without knowing this, Lilan absorbed it. So at that time Leland was annexed by the defense agency and out of control. "
"Also, of course, this defense organization also exists in this world and has been exploited inadvertently. This is the characteristic of a 'familiar'."
Yui inherited Elise's instructions.
Although Lilan is not a super-high-performance AI, when part of the "familiar" of the "beast" in this world joined her master in crisis, she gained powerful power as if she had awakened, and eliminated the threat. Characteristics of the master's enemies. Therefore, "familiars" sometimes exert unusual powers to protect their masters.
The true nature of this feature is Cardinal's defense mechanism. The so-called characteristic is that the "familiar" summons Cardinal's defense mechanism, turning it into a container for the defense mechanism to control itself, and exerting its power according to the defense mechanism's wishes.
Using Cardinal's defense mechanism, Anubis, Genesis' "familiar", went berserk when Genesis was in crisis. Therefore, Anubis's eyes turned red when he went berserk. This was a vessel of the defense mechanism. evidence of.
At that point, Yui separated her words for the moment. At that moment, Kirito began to speak.
\"By the way, "familiar" actually has such a system. In other words, in this world, "familiar" are the virtual avatars that Aincide said?\"
"Yes. Originally, the defense mechanism should not be used in such things. It is best to prepare good utensils. However, since it will make the 'familiar' stronger, this game seems to have been developed with the misappropriation of the defense mechanism in mind."
As soon as Yui's explanation ended, the developer opened his hands in surprise.
"However, the development of this game only involves the Cardinal System. The fundamental black box of the Cardinal System seems to be immovable. Well, the highest masterpiece of Kayaba-san and us is the Cardinal System, so it cannot be analyzed. As a matter of course."
I heard from Ellis that the Cadena system was created by Kayaba Akihiko and Argus's elite programmers. This is the right hand of the chief programmers, Kayaba Akihiko, so Cardinal was actually made by Yuiris himself. Because of this, she is so familiar with the Cardinal system, and so are her daughters.
"So, what does this have to do with me? Cardinal's defense mechanism was just misappropriated by the "familiar" people. Anuvius's strength is thanks to Cardinal's defense mechanism. What does that have to do with me? yes?"
At that time, Kirito felt a strong gaze. There is something sharp looking at this side. SAo and ALo also feel it. The source was quickly found.
Elise looked here with sharp eyes.
"It's just a hypothesis from here on. As already said, the Cadena system of this world completely appropriated what was used in SAo in the past. The defense mechanism was also what SAo started to use."
\"This is?\"
"What if the Cardinal Defense Agency operating in this world still remembers the vessel at that time and is still looking for that vessel? If it finds something that has the factor of that vessel, how about making it the highest priority vessel?"
Kirito couldn't help but say "ha". Elise sometimes said surprisingly difficult things. Now I can only think that it is like this, and I can't understand what it means.
"Factor? What does factor mean?"
"To put it simply, it's like the fragments of the virtual avatar. There are fragments of data that make up the virtual avatar. Many of the accumulated items were mistook by the defense agency for vessels and became possessed. That's what I think."
"What do you want to say?"
After accepting Lilan's question but not responding, Elise said to Kirito.
"The virtual avatar fragments that became an artifact of the defense organization during SAo accumulated in Kirito-kun. Therefore, the defense organization chose Kirito-kun as an artifact. Although Kirito-kun is a player, he became an artifact of the Cardinal Defense Organization."
As soon as Elise's words spread throughout the room, everyone present made confused sounds. Kirito was unable to move as if he was sewn into a chair, and he couldn't even make a sound. I am a vessel for the Cardinal Defense Agency—? Next to Kirito, who had doubts in his heart, Straya raised his hand and said.
"What, what's going on!? Kirito is a weapon of the defense agency!?"
"The symptoms Kirito experienced, as well as Kirito's strength and appearance afterward. These are very similar to when the Cardinal Defense Agency got the vessel and started operating. At least I can only think that Kirito is the vessel."
Elise didn't break her cool. Lilan stood up and resisted Elise.
"Is there such a thing! Kirito is a player, not a 'familiar'. And if there really are fragments of the virtual Avatar, the ones accumulated should be the vessels of the previous defense organization. Why would Kirito become like this instead of me! ?”
When he noticed it, Kirito confirmed Lilan's words.
It was Lilan who once introduced the virtual avatar and became a container for the defense organization. Although that one has been removed now, if the fragments remain, Lilan should have left a lot.
Even so, why did she leave so many fragments behind? - Elise said to Lilan, as if to answer Kirito's question that overflowed from his heart.
"Lilan. When you were introducing the Virtual Avatar, you should also use your abilities on the players."
"It can also be used. Because there were a lot of players in pain at that time. Our mission is to heal the players' spirits and hearts. We can't forget it."
"Yes. So what if every time you use your power, the data fragments of the virtual avatar in your heart will flow into the players?"
Lilan was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Both Yui and Strea just looked at Elise silently. The developer spoke while receiving the attention of his daughters.
"At that time, Lilan's data was chaotic and chaotic. All the data was carefully tailored and mixed together and existed in Lilan. Of course, this also included the data of the virtual avatar. In this way, if you use power on the player, even if It’s not surprising that your data fragments flowed into the subject’s Navgia and Avatar data.”
Elise stared at Lilan with sharp eyes. Red eyes crossed with reddish-brown eyes.
"Lilan. You have used power against many players. Who is the one who has played the most? Who have you used the most power against?"
Like Lilan, Kirito was also startled. Lilan used that power against many players in Einclade, but among them, there were players who excelled more often. For a moment, Kirito remembered the appearance and name of the player, and spoke it out.
"Shino."
Lilan would use her power every time Sinon had an attack to calm her down. That's a lot more times than other players. And if what Elise said was true—— before Kirito could say it next time, Elise blocked him.
"Kirito, what did you and Sinon end up doing?"
"Shino and I connected our brains and shared memories to help me regain consciousness."
Having said that, Kirito thought about it. Elise seemed to notice it and said quietly.
"You took in the data fragments of the Virtual Avatar that were stored in Sinon at that time. As a result, you became the closest being to the Virtual Avatar. Cardinal's defense agency realized that you were the most suitable being for the vessel and began to impress you. .This is the true face of your mutation yesterday...I think"
Kirito lowered his head and took a breath. I inadvertently took in the fragments of the former Cardinal system's defense mechanism, and yesterday I was dominated by Cardinal's will. Although I didn't want to believe it, I couldn't deny what Elise said. After a while, Yui hesitated and spoke to the developer.
"So, what happened to Dad? Dad's symptoms are very similar to the 'Krimson High' that Elise said. What is this?"
"That's probably caused by the Cardinal system. Ordinary players are not able to complete the container of the defense mechanism. In order to be able to fully withstand the activation of the defense mechanism, the secretion of substances in Kirito-kun's brain may be close to the secretion when using digital drugs. ". Kirito-kun's consciousness was not present at the time. It was probably because Kirito-kun's consciousness and emotions hindered the launch of the defense agency's mission, so the seal was implemented. Now when Lilan was also annexed by the defense agency, she didn't seem to realize "
Yui, Strea, and Lilan all showed obvious anger towards Elise, who seemed to have nothing to do with her. But it wasn't just the premiere where he addressed Elise with a slightly confused look.
"To be honest, I don't know what Elise is talking about. However, if this continues, Kirito will be in danger. What can be done?"
The thing that matters to the premiere is something that Kirito also thinks about. Once engulfed by Cardinal's defense mechanism, there will be a state of abnormal secretion of norepinephrine and adrenaline, which will exert a strong load on the body and ultimately reduce life. Being swallowed up by the defense establishment is the same as the crisis of life.
Seeing the premiere on Kirito's behalf, Elise held up her cheeks.
"It is true that Kirito was in danger when he was annexed by Cardinal's defense organization. Cardinal will definitely regard Kirito as a container and will activate the defense organization in the future. However, this is also an opportunity."
"Chance?"
"When Kirito becomes the container of the Cardinal Defense Agency, Kirito's status is unmatched by other players. If Kirito can use this status skillfully, he can compete with any vicious guy. How's it going?" Hello, Kirito. "
Kirito raised his head suddenly. It's exactly what Elise said. Although he was unconscious at the time, it is said that he pushed back Genesis, who exerted a strange power, and Anubis, who gained the power of the same defense mechanism.
If you can skillfully use this power, you will be able to defeat any enemies calmly in future strategies. Even if you fight Genesis again, you will be able to be defeated easily. Because he can gain an overwhelming position, what Elise said makes sense.
However, Kirito didn't want to be like that. Becoming a vessel of the Cardinal Defense Agency is a phenomenon that players would never have had, and the sharp increase in status that occurred there is no different from using improper procedures. To become adept at using Cardinal's defense machinery is to be the worst possible Cheetah offender.
I don't need that kind of power.
Vessels from Cardinal's defense establishment are not needed.
Kirito shook his head and responded to Elise.
"I don't like it. I don't want to use that stuff. Isn't it the same as using blush?"
Elise showed a surprised expression for a moment, but soon she showed a satisfied expression.
"I thought you would say that. You are an honest kid, and I know you won't touch those braids. First of all, I don't know if you can use it skillfully."
Immediately afterwards, Elise crossed her hands in front of her face and turned her sharp eyes to Kirito again.
"But, Kirito. Even if you say so, there is a high chance that Cardinal will select you as the container of the defense agency. Judging from the discovery pattern so far, Anubis going berserk near you is the trigger, so You will also become a container for the defense organization from now on." It will be like this. If you don't want to, you have to master some kind of countermeasure. "
"So, what should I do?"
"You have not been swallowed up by the defense organization once. This is also hypothetical, but if you are strong-willed, you may be able to defeat the alteration of Cardinal's defense organization. You will consider that method yourself."
Kirito could not refute Elise. Even Elis must not have foreseen this situation. Even if you are asked what to do, you can't answer it.
However, if one is strong-willed, one may be able to defeat Cardinal. You can only explore based on this tip.
Lowering his head as he thought, Elise stood up from her chair and came closer, placing her hand on her head.
"If you solve this problem and are not swallowed up by the defense organization, you will not be able to gain powerful power by using curiosity. Please protect the power of important things. If possible, I hope you can become stronger. I I believe you can overcome this problem too.”
Elise whispered in a softer voice than she had ever heard before. More than the hand on my head, I could feel the warmth that was reminiscent of my mother flowing throughout my body.
Everything Elise said was hypothetical, but it must be true. He has now become a container for the defense apparatus. Then he was swallowed up by the defense establishment.
can not be like this. We must defeat the defense organization no matter what - Kirito thought as he raised his head.
Elise smiled then. It's like looking at a son.
"Why did Kirito become like this?"
"No, it's not like this. It's not the time to think like this. There should be something I can do. No, I have to find something I can do."
"I must become Kirito's strength"
Shino came out of her home and headed to the "street of the beginning".
There is a small village around the home, where you can also prepare and prepare for the strategy. However, Shino rarely used it. The scale is much smaller than "Starting Streets" and most importantly the mission board is non-existent.
To do a task, you can confirm the task board and talk to the task NPC to initiate activities. The fastest one is to confirm the task board.
In order to find out whether there was a mission she liked, Sinon went to the "street where it started".
Transfer from the village near your home to the transfer gate square of the "starting street". There are already many players and NPCs there, and it is still very lively.
Because this "SAo" is still in the closed beta stage, although the absolute number of players is very small, there are still more than a thousand players logged in.
And it's an off day, so more players than usual are diving into the world, keeping the streets and courts busy. Although this is not the case compared to ALo where a corresponding amount of time has passed since the official service started, the large number of people has not changed.
While thinking about that, Sinon walked straight through the players passing by and headed towards the shopping street area. A target mission board that manages many tasks exists in the corner of the shopping district, in front of Ojukuya. Information shops also tend to gather there, so it's the place to go if you're looking for a mission.
After passing through the transfer gate square and arriving at the commercial district, the number of people suddenly increased. What you know when you log in for the first time is that in the shopping district area, there are all the necessary things and facilities for the strategy, including a grocery store with all items, a blacksmith who manages weapons and armor, and an Ojukuya that can be used as a meeting place or a personal room. Get together. Therefore, there must be more comings and goings of people than in other zones. Although I'm used to it now.
Passing through more people and listening to the voices of the vendors, I walked inside and saw the mission board I wanted. There were a lot of players gathered there, and everyone was talking about tasks and activities. Although there is no figure of Argo as one of the companions, there are many information shops like her gathered.
The Cardinal system running "SAo" has the same power to generate countless tasks as SAo and ALo. For this reason, I heard from Yui that no matter how much I continue to complete the mission, it will not be completed completely.
That mission board contains unlimited missions. Although it is difficult to find them, there must be missions that you are looking for. I have to find out that.
"Yes, I have"
Shino, who was full of energy, walked among the people and arrived in front of the task board. Clicking on the corner of the huge wooden notice board with various stickers on it opened a window. This is the window for managing tasks.
If you try to confirm the content, various types of tasks such as exploration, hunting, subjugation, collection, and delivery are narrowly arranged. Even if I flick it in the full display state, it doesn't seem to reach the bottom at all.
When I first started playing the game, there were about 100 missions, but Cadena has recently generated more missions and seems to have been installed. It's extremely difficult to find what you're looking for here, but since there's a search function, it shouldn't be that difficult.
(so)
Sinon called the Holo keyboard and typed "The reward is a bracelet". A search turned up over a thousand tasks. Is the reward just the bracelet that much? While thinking this way, I checked the tasks one by one, but soon I sighed.
The bracelet obtained in the mission shown is full of non-special things that make the items sold in the store slightly stronger. I couldn’t see anything related to any big event, and there was no mission to get the atmosphere of something special.
"Um"
He couldn't help but make a small noise and tap repeatedly. There are really countless tasks that come into view, but nothing is appropriate. Even if I do it, I don’t think I can get what I want.
Since countless missions have been generated, it is not surprising that it is among them. Sinon concentrated on flicking at a faster speed, but still couldn't find anything good.
"no?"
Stop flicking for a moment and look at the content of the mission. The things you can buy are all slightly stronger than what is sold in the store. It might be a good thing as equipment, but at least it's not what I want.
I tried to confirm the title of the mission, etc., but as I saw in SAo and ALo, the final terms of the special event seemed to be the same thing. Either one is wrong.
Putting her fingertips on the window displaying the task, Shino thought softly. That being said, there was a mission board when I came to SAo, and special missions tended not to be posted very often. There are memories of the occurrence of events, quests with special conditions, and many situations that NPCs in the streets and fields can accept.
Maybe what he is looking for is a mission where he can get the props prepared for him, or he may get it from the mission NPC.
The NPC's task is to try to strike up a conversation and come up with a specific word, or keep listening, etc. If it is not followed in a very good order, it will not happen, and the content will not be known until then.
It's harder to find than searching on the mission board, but the status quo is the status quo, so there's nothing you can do about it. Moreover, Argo may also have the mission information he wants through the intelligence shop and his own intelligence network. Although Cole will pay a high price, it might as well ask Argo. Must try as hard as possible.
(No way)
Muttering silently, Shino closed the window. Looking back, I saw that the number of people had increased compared to when I arrived, and the hustle and bustle could be heard everywhere. When they are keen on finding missions, not only the players aiming for the mission, but also the information shops gather together. It’s a little hard to leave.
In order not to bump into each other, I walked through the crowds and walked deeper into the commercial street area. The hustle and bustle in front of the task board gradually faded away, and soon it was almost impossible to hear it.
"that!"
A clear voice came from behind. Although this sentence seemed to be meant to stop someone on the road, Shino didn't pay much attention and continued walking.
I looked around and confirmed that there were many players coming and going. There must be friends and friends of someone here who said hello before losing that person. VRmmo is a common occurrence, so there is no need to react in particular.
"that!"
After a few seconds of wanting to move forward, there was another sound. It was obscured by the hustle and bustle everywhere, so I couldn't find anyone.
If possible, I'd like to identify the person being addressed and tell him what is being addressed, but obviously can't do anything like that.
"Wait, Mr. Shino!"
"Eh!?"
When she heard the voice coming the next moment, Shino couldn't help but stop. The voice that came just now, trying to call someone else, seemed to call his own name. There are still many players around, and the noise can be heard, but it is obviously not coming from there.
"Please, wait a moment, Xinon!"
"!"
Being called again, Shino suddenly looked back. A few meters away, there was a figure looking over here. Wearing light clothing based on white, wearing a skirt, and a snow-white short robe from above, completely covering the upper part of the face. Judging from the body shape, skirt and delicate skin, she is female even from a distance.
But, of course, Shino didn't know about that woman. It was obviously the first time we met, but the other party seemed to have met here before. Staring with some caution, the woman slowly walked over. You should know that I'm staring at you, but I don't seem to care. Women originally wore deep hoods to cover their faces, so it was strange to see their faces here.
The woman walked up to Xi Nong and opened her mouth quietly.
"Mr. Shino."
"!"
Shino couldn't help but be on guard, preparing herself to the point of not being noticed. Even if I look closely at the woman's appearance, I still can't remember it. Although it was a player she didn't know, the woman on the other hand said her name.
"Who are you? At least you are someone I don't know."
"Well, I guess you don't know me, but I know you."
Shino frowned. In the past, whether you were on the street or on the field, you could feel that a player was following you. I tried to invite him in cooperation with Kirito, and found out that it was Spiegel as my partner. After that, I was no longer followed, but there was another player who started similar things. Staring at the alert Shino, the woman only smiled bitterly.
"It's natural to receive such a reaction. I suddenly came out and said such things. It is natural to be suspected."
"Well, that's highly doubtful. So, what's your reason? What's your request for me to approach you?"
The woman took an action that reminded someone of something. Then he made a hesitant movement and then opened his mouth again.
"Shino, you are looking for a mission right now. So it is troublesome that you can't find her. Please do the necessary missions for the sake of important people."
"Eh!?"
He couldn't help shouting loudly and was startled. The gazes of the surrounding players gathered together, but Sinon could not take his eyes away from the woman. Sinon came to the "street of the beginning" and went to the mission board in order to find out what he, Kirito's mission was.
He came here on a mission to find the miserable Kirito, but Kirito didn't even tell him about it. Lilan, Yui, and Asnar didn't say anything.
Why would this woman know about something that should not have been told to anyone?
"Wait a minute, how do you know this? You couldn't have eavesdropped somewhere, right?"
"It's not like that. It's just that people like you watched it several times. People who are looking for important things and missions are very unique. I saw a lot of people like this on this street, so I understand."
Although the female voice was a bit weak, Shino couldn't stop being suspicious. What a woman says is so questionable. If you put it this way, is this woman an information shop?
"You know about me through an intelligence agent? Your friend's intelligence network."
"It's not that. It's just that I know how you feel."
Although the female voice became weaker and weaker, Shino continued to frown.
"So, what is your purpose? Understand my movements, what are you going to do?"
The woman took a step towards Shino, then opened the window and operated it gently. After a while, a window appeared in front of Shino's eyes.
It's not so much a message window as it is a text window where notes and the like are recorded. Take a look at what's inside. What is written above is a note that the quest "Platinum Bracelet" can be obtained from a male NPC wearing priest-like clothing in the commercial street area of "Starting Street".
Shino couldn't help but react to the word "platinum bracelet". The so-called "platinum bracelet" must mean the terms obtained after clearing this mission.
What Sinon is after is a highly special item of the bracelet type that was given to Kirito. It is indeed a task that Shi is looking for.
"This!"
"Shi Nai, you are looking for the mission that can get the bracelet. However, if you are on the street mission board, it is difficult to get it. So, I want to tell you about this task, so with you Say hello. "
Shi Nai turned her face from the window to a woman.
"You and I have been looking for the task that can get bracelets."
"Well, the poems at that time were serious than anyone else, and I noticed it without knowing it. Because I was looking for the task seriously, I would like to tell you."
As a woman said so, Xi Nong was startled. At that time, I planned to find the task without any matter, but in the eyes of other players, it seemed very serious. Although it is an inconspicuous plan to do, as soon as you notice very conspicuous things, there will be some shyness in your body.
"This task is true. You can really accept it."
"This can be guaranteed. Because you should be able to get what important people want you to do."
Although I can't see the face of a woman who said this, the sound is very serious. At least I can't feel you are lying. Although there are sufficient room for doubt, try to believe it is good. Thinking like this, Shi Nai sighed gently.
"Then I try it too kind. You said you, Wilsa, is it very popular in charity games recently?"
"Wilsa!"
Shi Nai tilted her head for the sudden appearance of a woman who appeared. Wilsa was named after \ "Bailong Swordsman \", and even a famous player called \ "Sao \" idol. Because women say that they have seen a lot of players, they know that Wilsa is also taken for granted.
However, women's reactions obviously know what reactions in Wilsa.
"What, your reaction. You know, Wilsa."
The woman grasped her fist's hand tightly and pressed on its chest. Because I was wearing a hood deeply and my head down, I didn't know the expression at all, but it looked painful. As soon as the name of Wilsa said, this is what this woman has to do with Wilsa.
However, Shi Nai did not say it, but thought of one thing and asked women.
"In this case, I didn't ask your name. What is your name? Since I know my name, I also want to know your name. And, if you get really good things in the task, you must thank you So you need to know the contact information "
The next moment, the woman's body suddenly became stiff. When asked about what I didn't want to be asked, the reaction was very surprised. Finally, it felt bad, and Shi Nai squinted her eyes.
"What are you starting from just now? Isn't your name tell me?"
On the way Shi Nai asked, the woman suddenly turned around and ran to the right. There is no need to say poetry, even the players around me are surprised to watch women.
"Hey, wait!"
Suddenly when she wanted to catch up, women had disappeared into the people of the shop street. Shi Nai couldn't help but stop and looked at the crowd blankly.
What exactly is it now. Knowing his name unilaterally, unknowingly looked at your own affairs, and told women in the place where the mission could accept. Although I know that it is not an enemy, it is difficult to say that it is friends and partners, and there are strange words and deeds.
This is the first time I have seen such a player. It must not be Kirito their acquaintances.
Because you are not able to register a friend, you cannot determine the location. The most important thing is that he left without hearing the name. In this case, you cannot tell the information shop and let them find it.
Everything became a mystery, and women left like this.
"what exactly is it?"
Shi Nai stared at the window on hand. The information of the task given to me by a woman is shown unchanged.
"Kirito, things are ready."
In the corner of the store area, a bench near the "Newborn Liz Bed Martial Arts Store". When I heard the call, Kirito stood up. There are also Lilan and premiere next to them.
After exchanging information about what happened yesterday with Elis, Kirito asked Lilan. In the battle yesterday, Lilan suffered a serious injury to Jernesis from cutting off his tail. What happened to Lan after that, what happened to the cut tail.
According to Lilan's answer, since it was cut off by Jernes, the tail when Lan became a wolf dragon form was like Anbis, and it was cut off halfway. It is said that there is a wolf's tail in the form of a wolf form, but what has been fell on the way to the form of the wolf dragon is not returned to the original signs.
Moreover, although the front -end part of the cut tail, it was recycled by Lisbet before reaching the hands of Genesis. At this time, Lan's tail was judged to be the material for making weapons, and Liz Bate asked whether Lilan had to be a weapon.
There was no special difficulty in Lan, and instructed the cutting tip of the tail as a weapon. Liz Bate seemed to have agreed a little bit, moved the cut tail to the studio's studio and started processing.
It tells that these passing Lilan suggested that Kirito go to Lizbert's martial arts shop.
Although some places cannot swallow, since things have progressed, there is no way. Kirito was said by Lilan, and went to Liz Bett Martial Arts Store.
When you set off, you will also worry about Kirito's premiere, but Kirito is not bad about the premiere, so that he likes the premiere.
The corner of the commercial neighborhood area of "Starting Street". When I came to the Liz Bate martial arts store, Liz Bate was still processing the tail of Lilan.
When Kirito came, Liz Bate was worried about talking to me, but Kirito said that there was no problem for the time being and asked about the progress. "I will do it for a while, and wait a minute." Then I returned to the studio, and Kirito was sitting on the bench in front of the martial arts shop.
A few minutes later, Kirito, who was attracted by Liz Bett, took the two to Liz Bate. In front of the shop's counter, there was a Zhang Litz bed, and the face made people feel a little tired. Although interruption and restarting in the middle, they have been processing, and of course they are tired.
"Liz, I have worked hard. I have done things well."
"Of course. But, I think I have done something unexpected."
For Lisbet, Premier tilted his head. Kirito is the same mood.
"Is this reason?"
"Um. I don't think I know the premiere. If you are you, I will be very clear, Kirito."
"I'm clear?"
Liz Bett put his hand to the things on the counter. It was a sword wrapped in Bailu. The size is similar to the one -handed sword now.
\ "Huh? Is it a one -handed sword? Well, I think I will become a two -handed sword. \"
"I am also thinking about the same thing, but I can only process it into a one -handed sword."
The tail of the cut Lilan was shaped like a big sword. Liz Bate raised a one -handed sword born from a two -handed sword as long as it was processed. STR is a bit not enough, it looks very heavy, shaking a little bit.
Kirito tilted his head gently and saw the scene when he saw it. Liz Bate recovered his posture and took out the sword wrapped in.
"Take the cloth down and see, Kirito. It's ridiculous."
Kirito had a sigh of relief, and his hands took the sword from Lizbert's hands. Quite heavy. Heavier than any of the two swords now. In this game, the heavier the sword has a strong status, so this sword seems quite strong.
In the end, this sword was -although I thought so, but Kirito took off the cloth, but the surface he saw was startled. The sword is hidden in the sheath, and the sheath and the sword are black. Its black has obvious acquaintance. I have seen this sword. Kirito suddenly removed the cloth.
Then there is an integrated knife body and handle. The surroundings of the handle are hemispherical, and the black silver sword with characteristic contours. Pulling it out of the sheath, Kirito said its name.
"Irusi Data !!"
Seeing that, Li Lan also made a "even!".
Eris data. Black silver magic sword with the meaning of explorators. When he was trapped in Ein Claid, what he got when he knocked down the boss who guarded the 50th floor. This is a sword that has been accepted on the back of Kirito. As soon as he saw that, Kirito shivered happily.
"No, there are actually in this world!"
"I was shocked when I saw the one that made. But \" Sao \ "was made by misappropriating SAO's server, it is not surprising even if there is it."
"Ah. But, I didn’t expect to do this from Lan’s tail."
Kirito clicked on Eric's knife body to display a window. Detailed information attribute window for equipment. There is a state that is higher than the one -handed sword now, but Kirito turns his eyes to the bottom -bottomed description bar.
The black silver god sword born from the tail of "\" Blade Wolf Dragon \ ". The blade cuts everything." Suddenly, the name "Blade Wolf Dragon" was heard, and there was a voice next to it.
"" Blade wolf dragon artificial vulcanization Up would. As long as you cut off your tail, you can get it. "
I don't know when Lazbart peeped from the side of Kirito's window. But Kirito didn't pay special attention.
"\" "Blade Wolf Dragon \" is probably the racial name of Lilan. "
Upur is the name of the white wolf posture in Egyptian mythology. Because it is like a wolf, it is often regarded as the same as Anubis, but its effect is completely different.
The name "Upu Out" was the original white wolf dragon in the form of Lan's wolf dragon. Because it is \ "Blade Wolf Dragon \", it is a monster that appears quite later. This Eruisi data made from its tail is also super -specified at this stage.
It's so happy to get such things.
"Woo -woo tail of Balilan"
However, Kirito's shoulders fell down. This sword should be on Lan's tail. With this on hand, it is not possible to protect Lilan. I did not protect the \ "beast \" that I couldn't do in the \ "Magic \", can I use this sword?
"Kirito, what's wrong?"
\ "Lilan, isn't this what you should use? \"
Both Lilan and Liz Bett were shocked. Leed Bate immediately told Kirito.
"What are you talking about, Kirito!? This is your favorite!?"
\ "Yes, but this is the tail of Lilan, not what I can use. Only Lilan used \"
When I was about to say the next sentence, my lips were blocked. Li Lan blocked Kirito's lips with his index finger. It means that you don't need to speak anymore.
"My weapon is a two -handed sword. I don't want to use a one -handed sword. It means only you hold it."
Lilan took away from Kirito and moved to her chest.
"Kirito, I am a weapon to protect your weapon. My mission is to continue to maintain your strength. And that sword is part of my body to become your strength. So I hope you can wave."
Indeed, Lan's mission was like this from before. Either SAO or ALO, it has always been for that mission to make the magic fight and become its own power. Although it is still continuing, Kirito was a little surprised.
\ "And, now we need to fight against Genesis. If you don't want to use everything, I am afraid you won't win him. To defeat Genesis, you should also fight with that sword. \" ""
"Lilan"
Kirito turned his eyes to the god sword at hand.
Jernesis noticed here. In the future, it will definitely attack, and it may also fight on the court. For at that time, Kirito has considered it to increase its combat effectiveness from now on.
"Moreover, Kirito, I hope you use that Eriz data to defeat Jessonis."
"Eh?"
"That's the sword born from the tail cut off by that guy. The guy was knocked down. Don't you think it is good?"
Lilan smiled invincible. After looking at that, Kirito understood what Li Lan wanted to convey. With the tail cut off by that guy, let him talk about it -Lilan said euphemistically. And this is what Kirito must do.
In the end, the reason for this situation is Jernesis. Since he was beaten to this point, he wouldn't let him not be able to say. Kirito turned to Lilan and nodded.
\ "I understand, Lilan, I will let you use the sword generated from a part of your body. \"
After seeing Lilan nodded, Kirito put Erish's data back into her back. After the previous \ "Black Dragon Swordsman \" reappeared, Liz Bate suddenly laughed.
"Sure enough, it looks like Kirito. Erish's data may be used for you."
"This is too much. But I have been used to my body. I always feel that I have become stronger."
"Stronger? Ah, right!"
After thinking of what a word and deeds, Liz Bate arranged next to Lan. Kirito and Lilan turned their eyes to Liz Bate.
"I remembered, because it became stronger, Eric's data seemed to be connected with Lilan's body. If Lilan evolved, Eric's data will evolve together and become stronger. The appearance seems to have not changed."
In this way, while fighting with Jernesis, Anvis evolved, Jeenes' weapons also evolved stronger. If that is also suitable for Lilan, Erish's data still has room for growth. Of course Lan also.
"Will Erish's data be stronger with Lilan"
"Yeah, in order to defeat him, you have to cheer, Kirito."
Kirito nodded to Liz Bel, alternatingly staring at Lilan and premiere.
Genesis will also target the premiere in the future. Moreover, because he is not strong as a "beast", the intensity of "making the demon" lags behind the enemy and is seriously injured.
In order not to repeat this, to protect the premiere, it must be a "beast" that does not lose to Genesis.
As Tongren thought in his heart, he stared at the two people who should guard.
After receiving the data from Liz Bate, Kirito and Shi Nai converged. Then I went to the court immediately. The venue is the corner of the north of the "La Fattar Sky Garden" in the deepest part of the "Lake Marsh".
In the shop of Liz Bett, Shi Nai took the weapon Eris data that was processed with Lilan's tail and immediately came to Kirito. Want to let Kirito help the task anyway.
The boss of \ "Mount Everest Lake Marsh" was knocked down by Wilsa and Jernes, released a new area. I thought Shi Nai immediately picked up the task there, looking forward to it, but was quickly betrayed. The place where Shi Nai brought was "Gem Peak Lake Marsh".
If you can, Kirito who wants to be liberated early is Tongren, but he failed to refuse Shi Nai's request. Shi Nai said the task very seriously.
As long as the request of Shi Nai would not refuse as long as it was not too ridiculous, the most important thing was that Shi Nai asked very seriously. I can't refuse anymore.
Kirito let go of the desire to go to the new area and agreed to Shi Nai's commission. Lan went to the local area with the premiere.
I didn't care so much when I came for the first time, but \ "La Fatta's Air Garden \" is just like its name, it is a place floating in the air. Only the settings of the settings can be used. After the transfer, you can see it immediately. You can see that the "Gem Peak Lake Qun" spreads in front of you.
Why can't I go on the land? When Kirito saw this scene when I saw this scene separated from the ruins separated from the ground, I thought that if it was a wolf dragon form, I could fly in this sky, so I would Want to let Liri fly.
