Next, Luo Zhen saw Asuna again in Tokorozawa's hospital.
After Luo Zhen's restrictions, Asuna's ward was no longer accessible to anyone except him and her family. Therefore, this time, Luo Zhen was not disturbed by any unsighted guy and talked to Asuna. Talked a lot.
Under the treatment and care of professionals sent by the country, Asuna's complexion seems to be much better than before. She doesn't look like a vegetative state who has been lying in the hospital bed for two whole years. She looks exactly like It's like a sleeping beauty, it's heartwarming.
Looking at Asuna like this, Luo Zhen really couldn't help but want to wake her up forcibly several times, or rely on his own ability to directly find the mastermind behind the scenes and kill them so that Asuna could wake up.
However, in the end, Luo Zhen still held back.
For no other reason than to learn Asuna's true intentions and the truth about why she refused to return to reality. Only then can he find a way to redeem all his regrets.
If we start now, no one knows what will happen.
If he didn't know what Asuna was doing and acted casually, it might have irreversible consequences.
Therefore, to be conservative, Luo Zhen still had to see Asuna.
Seeing Asuna imprisoned in the virtual world.
"Just wait for me for a while..."
Luo Zhen whispered softly to the sleeping Asuna, and then left the ward, left the hospital, and returned to Kiritani's house.
By the time Luo Zhen returned to Kiritani's house, Suguha had already returned. Kirito seemed to have finished contacting the people in SAO. The three brothers and sisters gathered together in the kitchen to make a lunch, chatting and filling their stomachs. Back to the past, warm and peaceful.
Then, the three of them dispersed on the spot.
Kirito planned to go to the hospital for a review to see his current physical condition.
Luo Zhen and Suguha naturally returned to their rooms, put on their full stealth machines again, and lay on the bed.
Today, the two of them should be able to reach Arun and come under the World Tree.
therefore...
"Connection begins!"
"Connection begins!"
In both rooms, the voices of boys and girls rang out at the same time.
So, the two returned to the kingdom of elves.
... ... ... ...
Alfheim, Central City, Alun.
This is the center of Alpheim and the largest city in the world.
Unlike Siruban, which is made of emeralds, Arun is made up of conical super-huge high-rise buildings. On the surface of the towering streets, there are thick gray-green curved cylinders, which are made of light gray. The textures of the buildings made of rocks are different. The diameter of each cylinder is about as wide as a two-story building, and it seems to surround the entire central street of Arun, winding around.
These cylinders are not buildings, but tree roots.
The roots of the world tree.
These tree roots gradually rise up from various positions in twisted shapes and gather upwards, becoming thicker and more numerous. Finally, they gather into one at the apex of Alun Street to form A tree whose size is difficult to describe with words, grows straight towards the sky.
The golden-green tree trunks covered with moss and other plants seem to merge with the sky as they go higher, and the color slowly changes to light blue. After reaching a certain height, the tree trunks are surrounded by white. Surrounded by objects, one cannot see the scene above.
The white object is naturally not fog, but white clouds.
The huge trees reached straight into the sky, and branches stretched out in the distance that was almost completely mixed with the blue sky and could not be seen clearly, spreading outward in a radial pattern.
Arun is built under the roots of this giant tree. Like a seedling nestled against and protected by the World Tree, it appears to be full of vitality.
Luo Zhen and Leafa finally arrived in this city after a long journey.
"Wow... "
Looking at the scene in the city, Leafa couldn't help but cheered with bright eyes.
I saw that on the streets that were both ruins and advanced medieval fantasy, players and NPCs were mixed together, going back and forth in every corner.
Some of them were earth elves wearing metal armor, with stout physiques, and carrying huge battle axes on their shoulders.
Some of them are only as tall as the waist of earth elves, and they are musical elves with silver harps on their bodies.
They also have dark elves with incredible light purple skin and black enamel leather equipment.
Of course, players from all major races such as wind elves and cat demons are here, walking in and out of every corner, laughing and chatting loudly as they go.
Completely different from Siyiruban, where the streets and residents are all unified in a green tone, this place is a melting pot of ethnic groups, full of vitality and vitality that cannot be seen in other places.
"Look! Look! Brother!"
Leafa grabbed Luo Zhen's hand and kept shaking it, pointing in the direction of the street and jumping up and down, she was so happy.
"Okay, okay, I've seen it all."
Luo Zhen could only smile helplessly and let Leafa fall into a state of excitement beside him.
Although Luo Zhen himself traveled to different worlds and saw too many wonders and didn't think anything of it, for Leafa, the scenery in front of her should be very worthy of cheering and make her mood happy, right
The most important thing is that players of different races who can be said to be incompatible in other places will either be hostile to each other or directly kill each other once they meet, here, they actually merge into a group happily. Chatting and laughing with each other, this should be a very novel sight for Leafa, who has always been active in limited places such as the sylph territory.
Therefore, Luo Zhen can completely understand Leafa's excitement.
If nothing else happened, Luo Zhen really wanted to walk around and see how Arunli's equipment, props, etc. compared with Si Yiluban.
"Since it is the center of the world and the melting pot of the nine major races, there should be various products and props from different places around the world."
This is undoubtedly stimulating Luo Zhen's heart as a player.
The various products in Arun are better than those in other territories and cities, this is for sure.
It is precisely because of this that all major races often send trade caravans to operate well in Arun.
In this case, Luo Zhen couldn't help but want to look around, of course.
Even Luo Zhen is like this, let alone Leafa.
"Let's go over there and have a look!"
Leafa kept holding Luo Zhen's hand and ran happily towards a street in Arun.
"Don't worry."
Luo Zhen could only laugh or cry as Leafa dragged him away.
However, at this moment...
"Um?"
Luo Zhen's expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Leafa noticed something was wrong, turned her head and looked at Luo Zhen.
But Luo Zhen can no longer take care of Leafa.
because...
"dad... "
Such a weak voice reached Luo Zhen's ears.
"Dad...Dad...Dad...!"
The sound became clearer and clearer in Luo Zhen's ears.
"This sound is...!?"
Luo Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
In his eyes, a dazzling light bloomed.
