Within Alfheim, nine major races occupy eight regions, distributed around the continent.
However, in the center of Alpheim, there is a neutral area.
In that neutral area, there is a rather large neutral city.
It is called the central city - "Arun".
But Arun is built at the roots of a huge tree.
That huge tree is none other than the .
"The inside of the World Tree is a large dome-shaped temple. There is an entrance above the dome. From there, you can climb into the World Tree and climb to the top. As long as you reach the sky city at the top, you can meet the Elf King Ober. Dragon, then the race to which they belong will collectively be reincarnated into elves of light, and the restriction of staying in the air will be eliminated forever, so all races have always taken this as their goal and want to conquer the World Tree."
Leafa was talking eloquently.
"However, in the temple inside the World Tree, there is the NPC Guardian Knight Legion. They are very powerful. So far, every race has launched several attacks on the World Tree, but they have all been completely wiped out by the Guardian Knight Legion. Even the fire elves, who are currently the most powerful among the nine major races, have never conquered the World Tree and reached the top of the World Tree."
Speaking of this, Leafa herself was a little frustrated.
"So, it has been a year since ALO was officially launched, and no one has been able to reach the top of the World Tree and be reincarnated as an elf of light. Because of this matter, a large intelligence website collected it last fall. Many petitions requested the operator to improve the balance of the game so that players can attack World Tree normally, but in exchange they received a formulaic answer of "this game is operated under an appropriate balance", which made Various races have begun to say that "you will never be able to defeat the World Tree". "
And if no one can ever conquer the World Tree, then no one will ever be able to reincarnate as an elf of light.
If you can never be reincarnated as a light elf, you will never be able to lift the restriction on staying in the air.
Players can only fly for a limited time and under limited conditions, just like their wings are shackled.
This makes it really uncomfortable for someone like Leafa who has experienced the feeling of flying freely.
Therefore, all races regard conquering the World Tree as their ultimate goal, and continue to play this game for this purpose.
"I heard that the fire elves are going to launch an attack on the World Tree recently, so they have been collecting money and props, buying all the equipment, and preparing all the props, and they are bound to reach the top of the World Tree."
Leafa's tone became unpleasant.
"Because of this, the fire elves' already strong aggression has become even more unscrupulous. In order to collect money and props, they will not hesitate to attack players of other races who are outside the circle."
The advantage of this is that it can threaten players. If they don't want to be killed, they can hand over all their wealth and get something for nothing.
Once you are killed, unless someone uses resurrection magic on you, if you are teleported back to the territory a minute later, your proficiency in various skills will decrease, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Compared with skill proficiency that is difficult to improve, money and props are not so precious.
Therefore, unless it is a very rare item, no one would want to be killed.
Furthermore, if you are killed, about 30% of your unequipped money and props will be dropped.
In view of this, in the eyes of those who want to kill people and steal goods, players are all mobile warehouses that can be extracted at will.
Of course, if there is a team, there can be an insurance slot. The props placed in this slot will be automatically transferred to the players in the team when they die and will not be dropped.
However, this does not stop others from wanting to kill people and gain goods. As long as they can wipe out all the team, they can still get very good harvests.
Since the wind elves and fire elves have adjacent territories, they are constantly in friction with each other, and there is always a struggle between forces. Therefore, the wind elves are the target of bullying by the fire elves, and they have suffered a lot.
This made Leafa's tone full of resentment, and Luo Zhen recalled Suguha's indignation when she mentioned the fire elves before logging in, and couldn't help but smile.
But, compared to this problem...
"The World Tree and Elf King Oberon..."
Luo Zhen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Since it is the main strategy target for all players in this world, do you have to go and see this so-called World Tree
Perhaps, there are clues that Luo Zhen wants to find.
Besides...
"If the three hundred players, including Asuna, were in this world, where would they be?"
It must be in a place where no one can find it, or where no one can reach it, right
Otherwise, once those players were discovered, the news would have spread throughout the entire network, and no one would know about it.
Now, isn't such a place that no one has discovered or that no one can reach mentioned mentioned
Although no one has been able to conquer the World Tree yet, it is precisely because of this...
"That's interesting."
Luo Zhen curled his lips and laughed.
So, Luo Zhen made a decision.
"After buying all the equipment and props in Siyilu Banli, we will set off directly to the central city of Arun."
This is what Luo Zhen should do next.
"Speaking of equipment and props..."
Luo Zhen suddenly remembered something, opened the main window, clicked on the prop bar, and started browsing in it.
I saw that the originally almost blank prop column was filled with various props at this moment.
Because Luo Zhen was set to visual mode, Leafa also saw Luo Zhen's item bar.
"This is... the dropped items accumulated from the previous strategy...?"
Leafa was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized and shocked.
Previously, because of Luo Zhen's inhuman performance, Leafa had forgotten that money and props would be dropped when killing monsters.
And Luo Zhen alone slaughtered almost the entire group of monsters in the canyon. It is clear to think about the harvest he gained.
"What a rich drop reward. I saw several very rare props. It's amazing...!"
Leafa was very excited.
Even though Luo Zhen is just a newcomer to the game, with his recent gains, his net worth is comparable to that of some wealthy top players.
However, this was before Luo Zhen had collected the equipment.
Players spend almost all their wealth on equipment in order to obtain higher ability values and achieve higher strength.
Like Luo Zhen, a piece of equipment in SAO cost an unknown amount of money. Sometimes a piece of equipment is worth as much as a house.
Therefore, the more top players actually know how to spend money, otherwise they will not be strong at all.
And the more you know how to spend money, the richer you will naturally be.
For example, Luo Zhen only had millions of money left, and the rest was used to equip various equipment and props to train familiars and even players. The expenses were not low at all.
Luo Zhen's current net worth would probably be very low if he wanted to equip himself with good equipment.
But after all, Luo Zhen can still become stronger.
Knowing this, it was impossible for Leafa not to be excited.
Unfortunately, Leafa didn't know that Luo Zhen's net worth was not only what he had just harvested, but also the millions of Yuroots transferred from SAO.
Added together, you can configure a high-performance equipment.
and...
"Huh?"
Luo Zhen's hand flipping through the props list suddenly paused, his brows raised, and he laughed.
"It looks like we're off to a good start."
With that said, Luo Zhen clicked on a certain prop and materialized it.
