The Orochi soldiers all knelt down to Leafa, and then——
"Those who are recognized by the Lord, please help us to avenge the Lord!" x n
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!"
Leafa slapped her face hard, and after forcing herself to calm down, she thought about how to choose "yes/no". If she chose "no", would she fight on the spot or let her go? If she chose "yes", she might be able to dispatch some of the Orochi soldiers.
But that would be tied to the task. Maybe I could go to my brother and the others on foot, but it would be troublesome if the contact and transfer functions were not available.
However, there are only a few days left before the scheduled duel between the snake warrior lord and Kirito, so maybe there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?
While thinking about what Kirito and Asuna would do if they got together, she tentatively said: "Uh-huh, in short, let's close the main city gate first, at least prevent players... human adventurers from entering, and try to fight with the dark elves.
Can I get in touch?"
"I see, now is really not the time to fight against sporadic human adventurers. Moreover, with a common enemy, even racial barriers can be temporarily put aside. They are indeed a human race recognized by the Lord!"
"Eh...thank you for the compliment?" Leafa said in her mind that she could leave this option alone for the time being.
In the end, they were successfully found within a day. The reason for being able to do so quickly was very simple. The decisive battle between the forest elf and the dark elf took place on the tenth floor of Aincrad, where the capital city of Lythra is located. After defeating, they lost the protection of the spiritual tree.
The remnants of the dark fairies could not even leave this floor, and even their survival became very difficult.
Should we call it lucky or unfortunate? Their leader is Kizmel, but the reason is that Oberon's intervention triggered a failed mission of the dark elf that would not have happened. Some dark people, including Kizmel,
The goblin escaped the death plot because he was imprisoned.
Thousand Snakes City, the outhouse of Leafa’s temporary room——
Kizmel led several followers to salute Leafa deeply: "Thank you for saving us and the dying spiritual tree when we were desperate. I think about the time when you, Kirito-dono, Asuna-dono and I met,
It must be the grace of God Spirit.”
"No, nowhere...that's all I can do. On the contrary, I'm sorry that Liusla couldn't help you at the last moment." Leafa said.
Not far away, a big snake soldier was using an orange potion to water the branches of a spiritual tree in a flower pot, which had become alive.
Generally, the fairies can only move within the protection of the spiritual tree. To move freely, they must equip equipment made from spiritual tree materials, or carry undead branches and leaves of the spiritual tree, or directly fall completely.
In their concept, the last method and harming the spirit tree cannot be done without death, so in fact there is only the first method. However, because it can only be made from the parts that naturally fall off and are about to lose their vitality, the number is very rare.
The orange agent made the branches of the spiritual tree they finally rescued come back to life.
Although Leafa only heard that monsters also have potions that can restore and increase their ability values, so she just let them try it after the potion she carried was ineffective. In other words, the essence of the spirit tree is no different from that of monsters? Judging from the game modeling and classification method
That should be the case.
But Leafa was afraid that speaking out would collapse their faith, so she kept silent.
"I heard that the lord of this city was easily killed by the Goblin King Oberon. Logically speaking, he should not have such power. Sure enough, is the rumor that he was possessed by the evil god true?" Kizmel asked.
"Well, I think so."
Leafa thought to herself, if he was an employee involved in the relevant incident, and if he was indeed a god to the residents of Sao, but also a bad guy, then he would be an evil god, and indeed "possessed by an evil god".
The dark fairies looked sad and angry when they heard this.
"Damn it, what is the purpose of the evil god? Your Excellency Asuna's strength as a swordsman is indeed outstanding, but we know very well that she is not a saint used to sacrifice to fairies. If this continues, not to mention Ryusra, the fairies will all
Destroyed in one go." Kizmel said, trembling slightly as he clenched his hands.
"Your Excellency Leafa, this is the last time. Can you assist us as before? Without Lyusla, we don't have the capital to hire you as we did in the past, but at least we are allowed to offer this."
Kizmel motioned to his subordinates to bring over the cloth bag with the silhouette of a sword. It was a heavy thing that only two dark elves could carry smoothly.
"This is the black divine sword made by the greatest blacksmith and magician in the distant ancient times, before the 'earth was cut off'. It is a secret treasure passed down from generation to generation by us dark fairies."
"But, this weight?"
"It's just that we didn't get the recognition of the Divine Sword. It's embarrassing to say that the Divine Sword may have the power to fight the evil god, but we can't draw out the power of the Divine Sword."
Leafa opened the cloth bag and saw that it was a shiny black sword with a semicircular toothed guard. She tried to pick it up and brought it to the equipment slot and clicked on the description. The sword was called "The Interpreter (
elucidator)", the skill proficiency required for the equipment is so high! The ratio of the required skill proficiencies is not at all the direction that the elf tribe usually trains.
Unfortunately, the requirements and skills required for the equipment are not comparable to those of Leafa, but it is the style that my brother likes. During this period, he must have been grinding hard to be able to challenge the Snake Warrior Lord alone. He should have developed all the required skills.
.
"Brother is coming soon. Unfortunately, I can't contact Kirito right away using the [Distant Book Technique]. Can you stay here and wait for a while? Although I have nothing to entertain you."
"It doesn't matter. The spirit tree is alive. All we need to do is provide a place to rest. We can take care of the food ourselves."

Sykesofia——
Although many interesting things happened here, and it was a rare gathering of companions, Kirito became restless. The reason was naturally that Asuna and her status bar in the upper left corner of the field of vision disappeared.
After he sent a message to another group of people, he bid farewell to everyone.
"What happened to Asuna?" Yuuki took the lead and asked.
"Maybe, but it has been fine all along, and suddenly it happened. When I checked the mission 'Duel of the Snake Warriors', I found that it had also disappeared. Leafa was still unable to contact her. An unimaginable change may have occurred. Maybe Ya
Sina has..." Kirito said.
In fact, not only the "Snake Warrior Duel" quest, but also the "Elf War" quest also disappeared, which made Kirito worried about Kizmel, but he didn't say anything because most of the others didn't know Kizmel.
The memory of the sudden appearance of red and orange players in the Cylon mission, which led to drastic changes in the mission and nearly death, was still fresh in his mind, and Kirito couldn't help but want to fly over immediately.
Kureya asked: "You take them (the two-dimensional harem) back alone? Do you need our help?"
