I like traveling the most

Xiaolin was not nervous or afraid when he encountered the alley where the brave wins and was blocked by people.

After all, it is within the town circle, and no one can launch a direct attack. In addition, it is only the fifth floor, and players with relatively low levels cannot ignore the guards in the town.

This is the difference between games and reality.

But I always felt uncomfortable being stared at. The cloaked figure in front of him stared at him as if he was examining him, with obvious malice in his gaze, which fell like a thorn and made people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Don't say anything and pretend to be an expert?"

Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows.

Maybe this person wanted to use this method to increase the sense of oppression and make Xiao Lin feel fear and fear. If the cloaked man really thought so, then Xiao Lin could only say that he was overthinking. Bone King Ainz was honest in front of him, and this kind of threat was just childish.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Vasak."

"Wait a moment. Maybe it's because of different customs. Here we usually give game names instead of real names."

Xiao Lin interrupted his self-introduction in a funny way and made a judgment in a very short time.

The voice is deep and hoarse.

The cloaked man is a tall man.

"——I'm sorry, because I have only been in the game for a short time and I am still not used to it. Let me introduce myself, I am PoH."

He introduced himself word by word, seeming to be somewhat interested in how Xiao Lin had just resolved the sense of oppression he had created. And Xiaolin also confirmed one thing through his self-introduction and his hidden appearance.

"So that's it, you're just a troublemaker."

"..."

PoH was silent again.

Being insulted like this one after another, Xiao Lin thought he would get angry on the spot, so it was not impossible for him to say a few murderous words. However, PoH didn't do that. On the contrary, he laughed, so dark and sinister.

"Hehehe - you are right, I am the troublemaker who hinders the group."

Seeing his admission, Xiao Lin scratched his head.

Generally speaking, PoH shouldn't admit it, rather he shouldn't jump out so early. Morut and others are his siblings, and only by controlling them can he maximize his own interests. When talking with Kirito, he said that the biggest advantage of instigating PK is to hide behind the scenes, but now that PoH has given up his biggest advantage, it is really hard to understand what he is thinking.

unless……

Exposing his identity would give him a greater advantage.

"——I will kill you."

PoH suddenly made a murderous announcement.

Ordinary players may regard it as a boring threat, but advanced players such as Kirito will feel fear and panic when they feel the murderous intent. Of course, besides that, people like Xiao Lin are not afraid, but actually want to laugh.

"...So that's it, it's a threat."

I seem to understand what PoH is thinking.

It was purely because the strategy team broke through the level too quickly.

What is certain is that the role of PoH in the game is to hinder the strategy team, and his purpose is to incite the players in the game to create a situation of killing each other. However, the strategy team may break through the level too quickly. Before Cheng could pull out enough groups, the game was over.

So, PoH came up with a way to slow down the strategy.

Kill this top player who is the most eye-catching and the best at breaking through levels in the strategy group, that is, kill Xiao Lin.

PoH knows very well that the strategy team's ability to break through the level so quickly is largely due to Xiaolin. And as long as Xiao Lin is killed, it will have a big impact on the strategy team, and the panic will also slow down the speed of the strategy team.

But now he doesn't have the ability to kill Xiao Lin, so he turns to intimidation. Giving this task to others may not necessarily lead to success, so PoH, with its own murderous intent and sense of oppression, chose to take action personally.

Bang bang bang——

Xiao Lin clapped his hands.

This was meant to express appreciation, but PoH mistook it for contempt. However, he was not angry, and did not even bother to defend himself, because only in this way, when he was about to kill the other party, could he see the expression of disbelief and despair from the other party's arrogant face. That expression is awesome!

But seeing Xiaolin's meaningful smile, PoH felt a little uneasy for some reason and couldn't help but ask:

"You don't believe it?"

"No, I believe you will, but unfortunately you will never be able to kill me."

That is the strong man's absolute confidence in his own strength.

PoH has seen it many times, many people who think they are strong will still collapse and be full of despair when they really face death. But there is also a small group of people who, no matter how PoH makes plans, cannot successfully kill each other. In his opinion, Xiao Lin is the latter.

However, since it is impossible to defeat such a strong man head-on, other methods should be used.

"Then I will kill the people around you. They will always be alone! Those people are definitely not as strong as you. If you can't kill one person, just two people. If you can't kill two people, then a group of people will besiege you! One after another, Let them die in front of you!"

The malicious declaration of murder, coupled with his extremely arrogant appearance, even a good-tempered Xiao Lin was successfully angered by him.

However, Xiao Lin did not yell for a counterattack, or pretended to be calm but was actually panicked. Instead, he looked at PoH with a calm look and replied lightly.

"——Kill you."

"Uh...uh...cough...!"

It was just a light retort, which even seemed weak to outsiders, but PoH suddenly covered his chest and made an indistinct voice. His whole body was shaking like chaff and he seemed unsteady on his feet.

——Danger!

PoH only felt that the green cursor above his head turned bright red, and then a big word "danger" gradually appeared.

murderous look!

Moreover, it has already materialized into a murderous aura so violent that it can cause cardiac arrest!

Die, die, die!

PoH only felt that his heartbeat was racing and his adrenal hormones were increasing rapidly!

This is the feeling of dying.

He had felt like this when he was on the operating table!

It's an outcome where you'll die if you're not careful!

"Hahaha ... hahahaha ... hahahahahahahahahaha ----"! "!"

For some reason, PoH suddenly laughed nervously, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Hey, hey, hey! What a hero! Isn't this a complete devil? Great! This murderous aura makes your whole body tremble!"

PoH folded his arms, stared at Xiao Lin with burning eyes, and asked loudly: "You must have killed people in reality! How many people did you kill? Or dozens of people? No, hundreds of people?! Answer me! !”

"Do you remember how much bread you ate?"

"Varied----!"

PoH was dumbfounded by the frivolous answer. The truth revealed inadvertently made people even more frightened, even their souls trembled.

"I'll give you a piece of advice."

Xiao Lin said: "Don't attack the people around me, otherwise I will really kill you."

The voice was flat, not even threatening.

But the true meaning contained in it made people understand that he was definitely not joking.

However--

But PoH said: "I can't do it!"

"...I will really kill you."

"Then just kill me! Anyway, I have no intention of leaving the game alive. Since it is a death game, isn't it natural to kill people... No, maybe it would be better if I were killed by you! If that's the case If that’s the case...!

Hearing what he said, Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at him high.

It is true that PoH always says that killing people in the death game is nonsense, but his consciousness is not false. Not all murderers have the consciousness to be killed. Xiao Lin has seen many people who can kill people without hesitation in words and actions, but when the situation is opposite, he becomes a different person.

PoH became radical.

"Just kill me now!"

"I don't want it."

Xiao Lin decisively refused.

He has not forgotten that the real purpose of PoH is to incite players, make them antagonize each other and then kill each other. If Xiao Lin really killed him, he would be playing into his own ambitions. At that time, as long as the news about Xiaolin's murder is spread, all players will become hostile to him. In fact, being hostile is okay, but I am afraid that this will be an opportunity to make the 8,743 remaining players in SAO distrust each other, which will have a greater impact.

So, is there no other way?

Of course not.

There are many methods, such as escorting them to prison until the end of the game, killing the opponent when his name becomes red, etc.

Or just let Aqua brainwash him.

Isn't it much better to become an Axis cultist with a brain problem than to become a twisted murderer?

Well, this method is good.

Xiaolin thought it was very feasible and planned to go back and discuss it with Aqua.

Look at PoH who is frozen and unable to move on the opposite side.

"I don't have time to talk to you now, so don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Xiaolin waved his hand in disgust, indicating that PoH was an eyesore and should get out of here quickly. PoH, on the other hand, seemed to have regained control of his body, and for some unknown reason, he bowed respectfully to Xiao Lin. Then he just hunched over and backed away until he left the alley.

It’s bad, I really regard myself as an idol.

Xiao Lin sighed helplessly.

Thinking of PoH's malice toward itself, it should be said that it exists in every world. Do classic fans want to beat up their idols? ...Though he won't let that happen.

Pass the teleportation array and return to the initial town on the first level of Aincrad.

Since there are still many people who have no hope of breaking through the level, in order to facilitate Aqua's mission, all members unanimously decided to establish the guild's headquarters in the initial town.

The guild is still relatively small at present, only able to accommodate less than twenty people.

However, the best thing about SAO is that it is very creative and transformative. Aqua vowed to build a large Axis Church in the initial town. She even drew the construction drawings and construction drawings. .

The ambition is lofty and frightening.

The Axis Cult is a group of scary guys. If there was one on each floor... I guess other people who couldn't stand it would have tried their best to pass the level without Kobayashi and the others working hard.

Could it be that this is why Aqua founded the Axis Cult?

Is she really a genius?

————

Guild tasks are actually very difficult and require a lot of resources. As Aqua said, the church can't do it in a short time, so everyone turns their energy to improving their level.

Despite the large number of members, with their efforts to upgrade, all members were able to upgrade to level 16. You must know that Asuna and Kirito are only at level 17 or 18 at the moment.

One day when the boredom was escalating, Aqua received an email from Asuna, saying that there was something important to discuss, and she hoped that she and Kobayashi could meet at the marginal restaurant where the hidden blue meta was sold in limited quantities before.

Kobayashi agreed without thinking too much.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw another familiar person here besides Kirito and Asuna.

"——Hello, boss."

"Hello, Argo."

It was the intelligence dealer with a beard on her face, Miss Argo, who was known as a mouse.

"It's really surprising and relieved that the three of you are gathered here."

"Hahaha, after all, I have a wide network of contacts."

Argo laughed a little proudly.

As a successful intelligence dealer, connections are the most important factor in the source of intelligence, and it is no problem to say that she has a wide network of contacts.

Aqua ordered the food without hesitation and treated the guests generously. Asuna talked quietly with her respected high priest. Kobayashi put his hands on his chin and asked Kirito and Argo:

"So, the purpose of calling us here?"

"I want to ask you to conquer the BOSS."

"So fast this time?"

You can't just rush through the floors. The lord level and mechanism of each floor are different. Therefore, in addition to finding the BOSS room in the maze area, you must also try to improve your level and understand the mechanism. There is no clear time limit, but everyone still agrees to set it at ten days.

It's only six days since we came to the fifth floor. Even if we find the lord room in the maze area, we shouldn't be in a hurry. After all, if we die, we will lose everything.

"Actually, there are other reasons."

Kirito said the reason.

It turned out that someone wanted to conquer the floor first so that they could get one of the items dropped by the BOSS. That item is a very rare and powerful item.

——Guild flag.

The effect is that the player who equips this item, as long as it is erected on the ground, will get a support effect that the attack power, defense power, and resistance to obstacles of all guild members within a radius of about fifteen around it will increase.

First, the player holding the flag can move, but the effect will disappear after picking it up. However, the effect will reappear when it is erected on the ground again, and it will remain effective as long as it is erected.

In addition, there is no upper limit on the number of people, as long as they are members of the guild, the effect will continue.

"Well. In this case, it is not without reason to want to get it first."

This item is undoubtedly very powerful. The strength of the guild that obtains it will suddenly widen the gap with other guilds. Maybe it can also use this rare item to attract other powerful players and thus strengthen itself.

In an extreme case, it is not impossible for the members of the strategy group to join a guild in order to pass the level more easily.

At this time, Argo, who took a sip of coffee, suddenly said: "In fact, this matter has a lot to do with you, the boss."

"... What does it have to do with me?"

"Because you, the boss, are too dazzling, you are so popular that people are jealous, so this situation has come about."

"Really?"

Kobayashi did not expect that he would cause such a change.
