205. You also said you didn't open anything!?
Under the leadership of Edwins, several people kept walking through the forest.
It's getting closer and closer to where the sound came from!
But fortunately, there were no monsters to get in the way. It only took less than ten minutes for the four of them to arrive in front of a giant tree.
"Shh!"
Kiriko stopped and gestured to the other three.
Then the four of them silently looked across from the edge of the tree trunk.
In the relatively spacious open space, two figures were fighting fiercely.
On one side is a tall man wearing green light armor. The long sword and small round shield in his hands are high-grade equipment at first glance. His long white and silver hair was tied into a heroic ponytail by him, and his appearance was also extremely handsome, only reminiscent of a handsome Nordic guy.
On the other side is a warrior wearing black and purple armor with a dark-colored saber in his hand and short blue-purple hair.
From her slightly raised breastplate, you can understand her gender-gender.
"drink!""
The silver-haired man kept swinging down the long sword in his hand with his brave cry.
"Clang--! 39
Along with the clear clashing sound, the unique light effect of swordsmanship also instantly illuminated the lush forest.
"...Really, is it really an NPC?"
Looking at the two people below, Asuna said in disbelief.
Whether it was the movements of the two or the vivid expressions, she couldn't tell that this was a virtual character controlled by the system...
In this regard, Nangong Yu's expression was extremely calm.
"Don't say they are NPCs, they should still be considered monsters, right? Look at their ears."
"Ah...!? Both... have pointed ears. That means..."
"Men are 'forest elves' and women are 'dark elves'. Look over their heads. 99
Tongzi affirmed Nangong Yu's words and gestured to the top of their heads.
The two swordsmen who fought fiercely had symbols marked '!' on their heads!
This also proves that they are the NPCs of the quest!
Generally speaking, as long as you approach the past and talk to the NPC, you can automatically receive the quest.
However, several people present did not act immediately.
"Both of them have tasks, and they are still fighting..."
Nangong Yu murmured in a low voice, thinking about the gains and losses at the same time.
Although he didn't know the plot of Sword Art Online in the early stage, he could guess this kind of thing with his eyes closed based on his years of gaming experience.
"Only one side can accept the mission? Once the mission is accepted, the other side will become a hostile force, right?"
"Yes, so it's time for you to make a choice. I don't care which side I choose...
Kiriko shrugged and said casually.
"They're not giving a single, or simple series of quests like before. This is the first large-scale event quest! This quest spans many layers, and it won't be completely over until the ninth floor.
"The ninth... floor?"
Asuna couldn't help widening her brown eyes, and her small mouth opened slightly in surprise.
Seeing the cute reaction of her best friend, Kiriko snickered in her heart and said even more shocking news.
"And even if you fail in the middle, you can't accept the task again, and you can't change the opposing route. After choosing a certain route here, you can only complete it all the way to the ninth floor."
"Very normal RPG-style development..."
Nangong Yu rubbed his chin and nodded slightly.
In such an open world, it would be surprising if there were no such open tasks!
"In terms of the current SAO, you are the only one who has fully experienced this series of missions, right? 99
"Well... I chose the 'Forest Elf' camp at the time, and the reward I got when the final mission was settled was not bad.
Facing Nangong Yu's question, the black-haired girl nodded slightly.
Many people may know about this task, but she is the only one who has completed it all!
"So what do you think?"
"Why do I feel like you're going for that handsome guy?"
"No, no!! Asuna, don't talk nonsense! I'm just because the 'Forest Elf' is decent... Yes, that's right! That's it!"5
Looking at Kiriko with a flustered face, Asuna sighed helplessly.
This friend is too good, I can't take it with me...
"Look at the handsome guy..."
In response, Nangong Yu didn't know what to say.
It's okay to watch handsome guys, why don't we have some Otome-oriented CDs?
Immediately, he put these messy thoughts behind him.
After thinking for a few seconds, he asked Edweis.
"How to say?
"Does the distinction between good and evil matter?"
"That's true."
This answer did not surprise Nangong Yu at all.
Edelweiss once said that her blade would not strike women and children.
Then the answer is clear.
"What about Asuna?"
"I don't want to help men to kill girls, just help the dark elves to defeat the forest elves, right? Let's go.
Now that it was confirmed, Asuna immediately prepared to go out.
However, Tongzi panicked and persuaded him.
"Wait, wait! There is one more important thing! 35
"what?'
"That's it...with the strength of the four of us alone, we can never win against the forest elves!
0. Ask for flowers
Speaking of which, she couldn't help but glance at Nangong Yu and Ed Wise.
"These two NPCs were originally elite monsters that would appear after the seventh floor. Even if the level has been weakened to the level of the third floor, it is still not something we who have just arrived at the third floor can handle.
Naturally, Nangong Yu could hear the girl's implication.
However, as long as the monsters after the ninety-fifth floor didn't come down, his true level alone could completely crush it!
"It's not necessary.
After speaking, Nangong Yu's figure has disappeared behind the big tree.
In less than five seconds, he has appeared on the battlefield below!
This also made Kiriko and Asuna stunned.
In the face of the sudden intruder, the two spirits who were fighting also looked at Nangong Yu at the same time, and then jumped back to distance themselves.
At the same time, the '!' number on their heads also became the '?' of the mission in progress.
"What are humans doing in this forest!?"
"Don't come to disturb us, leave quickly!"
Neither side had a good look at Nangong Yu's arrival.
Nangong Yu slowly raised his left hand that was clenching the sharp blade, and the forest elf's face became stern.
The yellow buoy above his head gradually turned into scarlet, which represented hostility.
"Stupid guy... to help the dark elves, then become a ghost under my sword and disappear!"
"Sorry... it seems you can't do it."
The sharp blade pierced through the man's chest.
Nangong Yu's calm words came slowly from behind the man.
In the next second, the quadrangular sword lights spread out with Nangong Yu at the center!
"How... how is it possible..."
After leaving these words with a blank face, the forest elf suddenly turned into a radiance that filled the sky.
"Cheat, he..."
Kiriko, who came to the sidelines, murmured with a dull face.
During the beta test, their team of four fought against this forest elf and couldn't even last a minute...
Nangong Yu killed that guy with one sword!?
If it says that he didn't hang up, the ghost will believe it!
But Sword Art Online will have a plug-in?
It's also from the server, so this kind of VR game can't exist that kind of thing...
unless...
——He is Kayaba Akihiko’s illegitimate child!!
Naturally, Nangong Yu didn't know what the black-haired girl was thinking.
After retracting the Fortified Sword in its scabbard, the scarlet eyes also shifted to the dark elf... dry.
