The third floor of Aincrad, Zimford, the celestial setting is sunny.
Today is a sunny day. The three huge yew trees in the central street block out the sun. The warm breeze blows by, and the leaves sway gently. Below it is an elf-style tree house and a Western-style Victorian-style building.
There is a white two-story house on the branch of a tree. This is the headquarters of the union "Akatsuki's Car". The Akatsuki's active presence on the front line of the strategy quickly spread to Aincrad, the 'Slaughter Queen' Neet-Ji, and the 'Twin Trees' Blank. Such reputations spread like wildfire, and she was praised by those who did good things. For the three people standing at the top of sao.
Naturally, countless players flock to such a union, but Akatsuki Car never recruits outsiders. There were players who begged outside the door for a day to join, but were eventually rejected. Moreover, the whereabouts of most of the members are secretive, and except for the time of the strategy, they are always seen but never seen. Therefore, the Car of Akatsuki has been called "a world only known by the strong" by players, and it has been artificially given a layer of mystery.
The sunny breeze blew in from the wooden window. Asuna's hair was gently swaying. She was beautiful and wrinkled. She looked at the invitations from the major guilds on the koan, which said that they hoped to unite the top combat forces. Form a 'strategy group'.
Aincrad can form guilds from the third level onwards. The first to take action were 'Lind' and 'Gaou'. They formed the 'Dragon Knights' and the 'Aincrad Liberation Pair' respectively. Because of taking the first step, most of the players active on the front line were gathered. But what made Asuna frown was not because of these two guilds, but the currently unknown 'Knights of the Blood Alliance'.
According to "Sword Art Online", the Blood Alliance Knights may develop into the strongest guild in the future, and I may join this guild in the future. And its president is the instigator of this death game, Kayaba Akihiko, the mad scientist who brought despair and death to Aincrad.
Involving 10,000 innocent people in a terrorist activity just out of interest, Asuna couldn't forgive this behavior after she understood the whole story. How is it possible to forgive? He is imprisoned in the virtual world, facing the threat of death at any time. At the same time, 10,000 families may be torn apart, and the resulting network of sadness spreads infinitely.
And you say "This is just a dream I've had since childhood"
Go to hell!
"Do you want to refuse?" Neet Ji sat on the sofa, drinking coffee elegantly. SAO's taste simulation system is really good. Although it cannot reproduce the sensation of sensitive taste buds in detail, it is enough to satisfy the taste effects of ordinary people.
Neet Ji put down her tea cup, "Anyway, even if we only rely on us, we can defeat the boss alone. Only the weak like to get together."
The novelty of logging into the game for the first time has faded, and Neet Ji now spends much less time playing SAO than at the beginning. At this point in the game, you have to be able to "see through it".
"No." Although there was a struggle in Asuna's eyes, she still said decisively: "According to the current speed of conquering, one level every 3.5 days on average, it is still too risky. And the further you go, the more difficult it is to conquer."
Asuna will not forget what Yuki Nagato said, that all Aincrad data must be updated within a year, that is, to a hundred levels, otherwise the materialized information will invade reality and cause a 'collapse phenomenon'. Although it felt absurd, just like a novel, Asuna no longer doubted the authenticity of what the great cute god said.
If a strategy team can be formed, the strategy speed will definitely increase.
At this moment, she showed her judgment as an elite education and her determination as the president, "I will go over to the meeting to form the strategy team."
"Then come on." Neet Ji just said softly, and then she slowly stood up and walked out the door, "But dealing with other guilds will all fall on your shoulders."
"Yes, I understand." Asuna nodded.
"Then I'll go to the practice room first. If you just want to fight the boss, I can come at any time." Neet turned around and smiled.
... ...
Shape moon.
The train rumbled across the stone pillar bridge erected on the blue waves, emitting black smoke.
Joan of Arc and Sakura took an old-fashioned diesel train from France to Slovakia, and then all the way south. Their destination was the Republic of Macedonia. Along the way, the sky was clear and green, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and sunshine.
Today's ancient saints are already familiar with things like buying tickets. Although the black cat and the useless angel taught her many unnecessary things, thanks to them, Joan of Arc has begun to possess some common sense knowledge.
Gradually, the scenery outside the window began to become undulating, with endless mountains and rivers, beautiful lakes as clear as a mirror, and flying waterfalls hanging high in the sky.
"Wow! It's so beautiful." Sakura leaned against the window. The inaccessible Orthodox monastery and ancient mosque were dotted among them, making her look even more pure and pure, as if she was from another world.
"Grape cheese is in a small town in the Gostivar district. We can walk there after we get off the car, or we can take a car, but there is still a distance that we need to walk by ourselves. Can you hold on, Sakura?"
Jeanne couldn't help but admire Sakura's abundant physical strength. If it were such a long journey, other children would have complained a lot. Perhaps nature plays a role in high spirits? Joan of Arc didn't know it, but the beautiful scenery along the way and Sakura's smile made her feel peaceful.
"Well, I heard that the wine here is also very delicious." Sakura turned around and looked at Jeanne happily with her clear eyes.
"You'll get drunk." Joan of Arc smiled, and there was no such thing as 'underage people are not allowed to drink' in her concept.
"It doesn't matter, sister will protect me." The girl smiled innocently.
After getting off the train, Jeanne took Sakura into a car and got off at the end of a damaged road. The two of them walked on the path in the forest, with soft soil under their feet. This was a natural feeling that was completely different from walking on concrete or asphalt roads.
Before the journey was over, the sky had already darkened, a few sparse stars had already hung in the night sky, and occasionally there were a few calls of unknown animals in the forest.
It seems like we won’t be able to arrive today, so let’s find a place to stay overnight, Jeanne thought to herself.
Passing the corner of the trees, a Romanesque-style church is hidden in the woods. The church looks a bit old, and the years have carved historical mottled marks on it. A few windows are dimly lit with lights on and off.
At the gate, there was a little girl sitting, small in size and with fair skin. She has silver hair that shines like a starry sky, and golden pupils. The girl stared at the sky blankly, not knowing what she was thinking. Seeing the arrival of Jeanne d'Arc and Sakura, she timidly shrank down and ran into the church.
"Father, Father, someone is coming."
