Floor 24, Panareze.
At this time, Luo Zhen was the only one in the base area of "Red Wing".
"Everyone was so lazy yesterday, and today they all ran away. It's really unruly."
Luo Zhen thought to himself as he walked into the bar in the base area, letting the pleasant sound of jingling bells emerge.
There were also two cute calls that surfaced at the same time.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Cai Die and Hua Die flew up from Luo Zhen's shoulders and landed on the bar counter, stretching their bodies. They had not fought yet today, but they looked like they were going to rest.
"The same goes for you."
Luo Zhen said this in a dumbfounded voice, and then stepped forward. Instead of sitting at the bar, he sat at a table. There was another seat opposite it, which was naturally reserved for the incoming guests.
"Should it be coming soon?"
After all, this is not the real world, but a game world where you can instantly move between towns through transfer gates. As long as you are not in an outdoor training area or a maze area, you should be here soon.
This is also true.
"jingle!"
As the sweet bell rang again, the door of the bar was pushed open.
There were two people walking in from the door.
One is Asuna.
The rapier wielder is still the same as before, wearing a white knight's uniform with red stripes and a miniskirt, and a rapier around his waist. He looks majestic and heroic, and people can't help but be fascinated.
However, Asuna stood aside at this moment, letting the real protagonist walk in front.
No matter who sees that person, they will be attracted by it at first sight.
However, unlike Asuna, whose appearance is extremely beautiful and can also attract the attention of others, this person attracts the attention of others not by her appearance, but by her presence.
A very unusual sense of presence.
Just like an indispensable protagonist, a high-ranking person, that person naturally exudes a presence that is enough to attract others, and walks in from the outside.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
A magnetic voice came from the other party's mouth.
Luo Zhen stared at the person in front of him and took a look.
That's a man.
He should be around twenty-five years old.
The face is quite thin, looks very resolute, but exudes unknown intelligence.
He was quite tall, at least a head taller than Luo Zhen, but his figure, like his face, looked extremely thin.
Such a man wore a loose bright red robe and tied up his long platinum hair. A pair of brass eyes stared at Luo Zhen, as if there was something terrible inside. , very oppressive.
However, Luo Zhen turned a blind eye to the presence and oppression of the man in front of him, and instead looked at the weapon he carried.
(shield?)
Yes.
What the opponent carries is not the rapiers and daggers with high attack speed, nor the tomahawks and warhammers with amazing attack power, nor even the swords and guns that are the most popular weapons among players, but a shield.
A cross shield.
Of course, there are many players who wear shields. Rather, in the situation where SAO has turned into a death game, there are not a few players who want to wear shields to increase their defense. But like the man in front of me, without any weapons, just Luo Zhen has never seen a player with a shield.
However, if you look carefully, Luo Zhen also discovered it.
(Is there a weapon attached to the inside of the shield?)
Although the weapon cannot be seen from the front, a sword hilt pokes out from the top of the cross shield, proving that there is a weapon attached to the inside of the cross shield, and it can also be a long sword or short sword that can be equipped with one hand. sword.
(Is the shield not only used as protection, but also used as a scabbard?)
Luo Zhen's thoughts turned rapidly, and then he spoke.
"It won't take long, sit down."
Luo Zhen showed that he didn't care too much about the other party.
That was a very casual tone. If it were someone with a higher self-esteem, he would probably frown in displeasure right away, right
But the leader of the "Knights of the Blood Alliance" in front of him just nodded and followed Luo Zhen's instructions and sat across from him.
For some reason, Luo Zhen actually felt that the other person's every move was filled with a certain temperament.
That kind of temperament is neither noble nor elegant, but is like a machine, with rationality everywhere, as if even the strength used and which muscles should be used to move have been very carefully calculated.
Under such circumstances, Asuna, who was accompanying him, stood aside and spoke first.
"Let me introduce you."
Asuna said this to Luo Zhen.
"This is Heathcliff, the leader of the "Knights of the Blood Alliance"."
After saying that, Asuna wanted to introduce Luo Zhen to her captain, but was interrupted by the other party raising her hand.
"This one needs no introduction."
The man named Heathcliff spoke with a magnetic voice, while his eyes were fixed on Luo Zhen, and a smile finally appeared on his angular face.
"The current leader of the strategy team, the president of the strongest guild, the most senior commander known as the "Magician", and the frontline person in charge who has maintained a clean record so far. These rumors are all familiar to me, and naturally I don't know them either. The exception is that I don’t know President Luo Zhen.”
These words should obviously be used to praise others, but when they come out of Heathcliff's mouth, for some reason, they feel like they are used to evaluate others.
Moreover, Heathcliff not only commented on Luo Zhen, but also glanced at the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies playing on the bar, with a slight hint of exploration in his eyes.
Obviously, Heathcliff is very interested in the two familiars trained by Luo Zhen.
Heathcliff even said so.
"That's the rumor that even the defensive boss can be given various abnormal states, making the defensive boss a living target and saving the lives of countless players, Rainbow Butterfly, right?" Heathcliff seemed to be talking to himself. He said coquettishly: "I didn't expect that since it can be cultivated to this point, maybe even the game developers did not expect this situation."
Heathcliff gave such an astonishing evaluation.
"Captain?"
Asuna stood up in surprise.
Luo Zhen also didn't expect that the other party would actually make this comment when he saw the rainbow butterfly for the first time, and looked directly at the other party.
"Is Captain Heathcliff being serious?" Luo Zhen said with a smile: "How could the game developers not anticipate this situation? Is this something designed by the other party?"
Since a familiar with such strength has been designed, it cannot be said that it exceeds the expectations of the game designer, right
After all, if the original intention of the game designer is that the familiar cannot reach a certain strength, then he will definitely set an upper limit on its strength. For example, the value of damage from 1 to 1000 can reach the limit of 1000 at most, and it is impossible to exceed it. , this is something that was set from the beginning.
Therefore, if the Rainbow Butterfly can reach the level of strength that can control even the defensive boss, it must have been originally designed to have this possibility.
However…
"This statement can only be said to be half correct, President Luo Zhen."
When Heathcliff said such words, Luo Zhen even raised his eyes.
