Kirito led Leafa and Crounpiss as they ran along the rooftops of the town streets, and even stepped over the eaves of the city lord's official residence.
There is a long distance between the roof of the city lord's official residence and the roof of the tall library, but these two buildings are very close to a cliff that is used directly as a city wall. If you can jump onto the cliff, you can use it as a bridge to reach the roof of the library.
"Brother, you can't go up this section no matter what, right?" Leafa looked up at the cliff and said.
As for why not just climb the wall of the library - the library and the mountain where the cliff is located are integrated, and there is no place to climb. It has been done long ago.
"It's really not possible with our current level and the skills we have mastered. I have tried many times before (during the closed beta period) and failed, but the shopkeeper will definitely be able to do it." Kirito said confidently.
"Why do I feel like the eldest daughter in the family who doesn't agree with dating comes out to have a tryst with a wild man?" Crounpis muttered, jumped up the cliff, and summoned vines to pull the brother and sister up.
"However, there are no patrols or sentries on this side of the city wall, which is a bit careless. It is true that the cliff is very strong, but if a small group of surprise soldiers attack..." Kirito was doing the "Elf War" mission,
It's natural to mention this.
"Then, you can close your eyes and walk over there. I'm sure you can return to the first level after a while of weightlessness. As for whether you're still alive, that's another matter, hehe." Crounpis said.
Amused.
"Huh? Is this the edge of the map?!" Since this is an unexplored area and outside the circle, most of the system map is shrouded in black fog.
In short, let’s put the war aside for now and focus on the previous hamburger row clues.
As they approached the direction of the library, Leafa smelled it again and said, "It has the same hamburger steak smell, and it seems to be mixed with the smell of cigarette smoke."
"That's right." Kirito followed the smell and found a very narrow square opening with a ladder, and said, "Well, it should be possible to go down from here."
"Is this? Why is there a passage here?" Leafa asked.
"If we are cooking hamburger steaks in a secret room, I think there must be a chimney or vent somewhere. There is a ladder here, and it seems that we have even prepared the method for cleaning the inner wall. Sao is really persistent in this regard." Kirito laughed.
road.
Crounpisi put her hands on her hips and said, "You go down first."
"Me?"
"If it's a chimney, what should I do if I go all the way down and sit in the pot or on the fire?"
"Um, okay, I'll go down to investigate first, and send a message after confirming it's safe...use the [Distant Script Technique] to inform Leafa to let you know." After that, Kirito carefully climbed down through the square opening.
Leafa: "Hey...can you really complete the mission by messing around like this without following the mission process?"
Kirito: "If the smell of the hamburger steak is the prompt itself, then it's very likely that this is the answer, right?"
Crownpiss: "No, no, given that old man only likes to eat meat but hates fruits and vegetables, I think this is just a toothbrush he secretly gave himself as a gift, and has nothing to do with the secret room."
But now that it has been done, it would be a pity not to try it. It would definitely not work in a normal game, but Crounpis was also very interested in the results of Kirito's novel brain circuit.
After a while, Kirito sent back the message "It's safe, be sure to come down".
……………………………………………………
The group of people who were still busy playing the puzzle game were speechless as they watched Kirito get into the secret room through the vent and open the door from the inside.
But then they can only temporarily enter the so-called movie viewing mode.
"Mr. Bhurrum, long time no see."
"Haha, isn't this little Krampis girl? She actually got into the vent of my house with this little human bunny. You have changed." The person who said this was wearing a black robe, with deep wrinkles on his face, wearing a
A dark goblin old man with small round glasses and a long white beard.
He is obviously dressed like a profound sage, and his tone and body language are very lively.
"Who told you to change the mechanism outside?"
"Hahaha, I heard that some humans have begun to establish a mutual-help relationship with Liusla. Since they are going to participate in the war, with the arrogant and rigid personalities of those priests and high-level officials, there must be many things that they cannot comment on, and they will use the humans until they are drained dry, then
The best place to get what you need is the only library in Lyusla, and I am preparing to test whether they are qualified."
"So, is this guy who drilled the air vent qualified?"
"It's very clever to think of this method. This ability to detect loopholes in tight defense is very useful. I'll think about it again. Little Krampis girl, can you make foreign friends?"
"Oh, how is that possible?" Clawnpis took off Little Red Riding Hood's hood and cloak, revealing the illusory human ears. Then she reached out and took off a ring on her finger, revealing the appearance of a fairy, and walked to the shadow of the bookshelf.
Inside, he fiddled with the books on it.
"This is -" Argo walked a few steps and looked at Crounpis before waving to Kirito, "Tongzai, come here and take a look."
Kirito moved over and was slightly shocked, and the two began to chat privately——
[In the PV released before the official release of "Sword Art Online", the faceless boss silhouette near the end is very similar to this one, isn't it? 】
[Did we originally want to find a branch line to improve our strength, but accidentally ran into the main line? 】
[The official setting is that the original fallen goblin is the object of belief of the fallen goblin who attacked Tongzai and your group.]
[No, it’s just a resemblance. Fallen fairies are enemies of all other races, right? Even if there is a plot where we are taken advantage of by the villain, it is strange to have a good relationship with the great sage Bhurrum. 】
【Do you know this old man?】
[I saw it during the closed beta test, but at that time there was no such complicated library, let alone hamburger steak. It was just an NPC in our common sense. It’s better not to treat them as the same person. 】
[Tongzi, then you can ask directly. After all, you were the first to trigger the plot here. 】
"Excuse me," Kirito stepped forward and said, "Could it be that, Miss Shopkeeper, you are the Original Fallen..."
He couldn't continue for a while, because Crounpiss looked at him with a dazzling look, which made him worry about whether there would be a silence plot, and he subconsciously looked for the load button.
Crownpis pretended to sigh and said: "Although I do have that title, I don't like it. Originally, I hoped that you could concentrate on accepting the trial of this great sage. After I run the rental house, I will treat you like
Long-term observation of adventurers, you should be people who pay more attention to what you can get than the causes and consequences. Wanting to know more may make you confused and not helpful to your practice. Where should I start?"
