Chapter 17: The Swordsman in Black who Hate to Meet Late
Kirito calculated that the information spread out was indeed not expensive at 500 kel.
But it’s not something that we are in such a hurry to know. It’s a good idea to enjoy the journey before the monster appears. Maybe we’ll just casually say it to someone in casual conversation – we have to take revenge on the information dealer.
As a result, it turns out that they are two people who are so opposite in a sense——
The boy in black, who was still a little immature but could imagine dressing up as a woman, and the girl in black, who spoke boyishly and lively, were attracted to each other because of their colors, and they quickly got high.
"Hey, Yuuki's equipment is all black."
"Ah, when I first came here, unlike many people who changed their hair color, I once defeated a rock monster and dropped a rare obsidian sword and light armor. I liked it very much, so I tried to match the hair color from then on.
I have a full set of equipment in the same color as Obsidian. But compared to Kirito, I still feel ashamed.”
"Hmm, it's my obsession to have a set of black equipment. Black is cool. I think it looks good with my title."
"That's right."
"You are quite discerning."
"Hmph, Kirito is the one who won the position of Iga ninja with his black line."
Kirito suddenly panicked: "Uh... Do you really have to call yourself a Koga ninja when confronting those ninja players? No, no, no, don't pretend I didn't say it, I can be considered a swordsman after all..."
"Ninjas are obviously very handsome, Kirito. Your cloth armor doesn't make any clanging sound at all, and the flexibility you showed when fighting monsters before makes you look a lot like a ninja."
"Things like plate armor and helmets will limit the body's flexibility and the width of the field of vision. Although it is a must for tank players, it is not suitable for squad action players and it is not suitable for my style. Another reason is this type of sword." Kirito pulled out the sword.
His own sword - the Fairy Knight Sword, he stroked and weighed it and said, "Although this is a captured item, the swords I choose are all single-hand swords that rely on weight to increase their power. They require a fairly high STR. In order to maintain high speed when using heavy weapons, just
The weight of the armor must be reduced.”
"Well, I also like to pursue high speed. Black, high speed, is cool, but I will distribute the weight of weapons and armor equally. Speaking of which, what is a captured item? Isn't it a drop? Is it obtained through PVP?"
"This is the terminology of the game. Dropped items refer to things that go directly into the item bar after the battle, as well as pop-up prompts; captured items refer to equipment that drops from the opponent after they are killed and disappears, but does not disappear together.
That kind of equipment can be used."
"Oh, that kind of thing, but the equipment dropped by monsters cannot be used to process and strengthen it. Monsters suitable for our current level have worse equipment performance than our equipment. We usually sell them for money."
Kirito sheathed his sword again and said: "That's right, but last time I did a mission and defeated a very powerful elite opponent, my predecessor's beloved sword was directly beaten into half and destroyed. It just so happened that even if this sword cannot be strengthened, I can
It can be used for a while. Well, since this sword cannot be strengthened, I think I will change it soon."
"It's not like ninjas can't use swords."
"Ninjas don't know how to use swords, but if you insist on saying so, ninja swords are different from katana swords. Most of them are straight swords. Like rapiers, they are mainly used for thrusting. It is not impossible to say that they are single-edged swords, right?"
"Single-edged sword? Swords are also divided into single-edged swords and double-edged swords. Kirito uses a double-edged sword like me. Sure enough, it is stronger with more blades, right?"
"There is no situation where the conditions of different weapons are completely equal and it is difficult to compare. However, if you compare a single-edged sword and a double-edged sword made by the same blacksmith with the same materials and the same skills, the attack power of the single-edged sword will be stronger.
The sword can also be used with broadsword skills, but some continuous sword skills that require two blades to slash back and forth cannot be used. It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
"What about the 'ninja sword'? What I saw seems to be different from what you said?"
"If I know those few, it seems that they are still practicing the way of playing ninja, but they are equipped with scimitars similar to samurai swords. In fact, they are mistaken. The single-edged dagger of your companion Merida is closer to a ninja.
knife."
"Wow, Kirito knows a lot, he's really awesome."
"Hmm."
"Sure enough, Kirito is very suitable for the title of ninja. Moreover, I heard from the two Fuma ninjas that Kirito, you are good at fire escape, water escape and wood escape, and you have also learned the skill [taijutsu] of taking the head with your bare hands."
"Eh? Is it really Kotaro and the others you met? Damn it, those two don't still hold a grudge about that incident, do they? Speaking of which, I had enough during the time when I was learning [Taijutsu], and I didn't take the head with my bare hands.
This is an instant death attack that destroys the balance."
"I think they still recognize your strength. Merida also wants to learn [Taijutsu]."
"Well, it is true that some skills and items can be combined to produce ninjutsu effects. After all, my team is small, and I sometimes conduct investigations alone. It is natural to learn some methods that a solo player needs when he gets into trouble, right? Yuuki
Your team is as small as mine, do you want to learn?"
"Oh, can I? I want it. I want it."
"Hmph, I said just now that I'm about to update my weapons. In exchange, I would like to ask you where there are complete sets of black-type rare equipment that can be customized. Can you?" Kirito seemed to have asked Argo at first.
The question was forgotten.
"Okay," Yuuki opened the system map and showed it to Kirito, "Look, there is a hidden neutral village here in the south of this maze. The residents in it are all monsters and demi-humans, but don't worry, they won't
If you come here on your own initiative, the entry condition is to defeat the absurd stone monster, the field boss of this maze. It will be refreshed after a while after defeating it, so you don’t have to worry about being robbed.”
"Wow, it's so detailed. With this level of information, 'Rat' won't be able to get 30% of the benefits of the mission if I don't accept it. I'm a good friend. If I can get a suit that I'm quite satisfied with, I will repay you."
"Then tell me how to learn [Taijutsu]!"
It just so happened that Kirito also wanted to take revenge on Argo. Anyway, that information was just something that was put aside for Argo, so he said seriously: "Looking at the value of this valuable information, it's not like I can't say,
But I have to swear to God Stacia (the god of the system) that I will bear the consequences if I fail to learn, and you will never hate me."
"Eh? A life-threatening mission?"
"No, there will never be any danger, and there is no need to even fight. But this is really a challenge to stand tall and be patient. Can a girl do it?" Kirito said "encouragingly".
"Okay, I swear to God Stacia (the system god)!"
Then they leaned together and waggled their ears - of course just to whisper.
