In the process of advancing, the sound of fighting became clearer and harsher.

A place that is really suitable for fixed leveling usually needs to have at least two to three monsters, otherwise the killing speed is greater than the monster's refresh rate, and there will be no efficiency at all.

When the two of them passed the deep path, there was a small open space in front of them, and there was a man in dark blue cloth chopping monsters.

It is somewhat different from before. This time, this guy is not sloppy and doesn’t equip anything, but the armor on his body is light and simple leather armor. As we all know, the profession of the knife is a typical blood thick defense. It is used to resist monsters, but this guy doesn't seem to be hit by monsters at all. He doesn't equip heavy armor, but behaves very lightly when dealing with monsters.

Should this be called being as light as a swallow?What a joke.

His skills were the same as the last time I saw him. He used his fierce and fast attacks that did not meet the characteristics of his profession to deal with monsters. In the blink of an eye, the monster confronting him was dealt with.

Seeing this, Mana felt relieved and wanted to get closer to him, and he also clearly spotted the person approaching.

"do not come!"

The man's expression was shaken. Just now, he was hitting the monster as if he was used to it, but when he saw Mana, he showed a terrified expression.

Mana didn't understand the meaning of the message he sent, and stopped there obediently, watching that person running towards her at an extremely fast speed. For example, jumping back and forth on a tree branch in the woods, or jumping off a small hill that usually feels uncomfortable when standing nearby and generates a crisis warning.

He pulled out the knife and slashed towards Mana. At that moment, Mana's pupils shrank suddenly, and her heart almost stopped beating. His speed was very fast, but Mana could clearly see his expression.

"what!"

Mana screamed and knelt down, instinctively wanting to squat down with her head in her arms. Her panic cannot be blamed. Outside the circle, cutting people can cause damage. Once HP returns to zero, it is tantamount to completely breaking with the world. Farewell, and goodbye to another reality.

Her brain was in a state of shutdown, and she had no time to think about why this person wanted to attack her.

But Mana's goal was not achieved. The man also made a downward movement while launching the sword skill. The curved knife on his right hand emitted a pale yellow light when the sword skill was activated, and at the same time his left hand reached towards Mana. past.

Mana only felt her waist tighten, and the next moment, she was surrounded by that person's arms, and she felt a very uncomfortable dizziness from her body. When the person grabbed her, the knife in his hand was already moving towards where she was just now. It can be said that he took someone with him when he attacked, a very difficult move.

"Chen! Exchange!"

Liar's shout pulled Mana back from the fright. She raised her head in a daze, and looked at the indifferent half-armed person with her dazed and frightened eyes, and then followed his body. The movements jumped together in the opposite direction from when they came.

On the other side is the rest area.

This time it was hard for Lial, he struggled to eliminate the monster that suddenly spawned behind Mana just now, but the monster that was killed by that person also spawned at this time, he had to continue to face a new wave s attack.

The man was holding Mana's collar with one hand like a chick and shaking it in front of him, frowning in dissatisfaction.

"Stay here and don't move."

He put Mana down gently, then went to rescue Lial who was in trouble.

With his assistance, the two quickly got away and stood in front of Mana together.Mana is as cautious as a child who has done something wrong, and she doesn't even dare to breathe. This person has always exuded a guilty pressure. He is obviously the younger generation, but Liar is covered by him standing beside him. Like a light.

"Why are you here?"

As soon as the crisis was resolved, the man returned to his dull expression and lowered his voice to interrogate the man.

Mana was at a loss for words for a moment, recalling Liar's request in her head, not knowing what to do.

"I brought her here."

Liar wanted to smooth things over for Mana, but received a cold, stinging gaze from the younger generation.

"Do you still dare to trust him?"

Seeing these two people appearing here without knowing it, anyone would think this girl is an idiot!

"no……"

Mana tried to refute, but the way that person stared at her made her speechless. This person said this out of worry, wouldn't repeated disobedience be too much?

The man breathed out the window, materialized his previous cloak, and put it on Mana's head with a wave, and then sent a team request to Mana.

The size that didn't match her height made Mana feel uncomfortable. The clothes that should only cover her thighs had now drooped down to her calves, and the color was also a dark dark blue that she wouldn't choose. She tugged at the front of the cloak and adjusted it. The position of the lower clothes makes yourself feel better.

The request window that appeared in front of her made her hesitate for a while. To be honest, she didn't dare to click the round button that represented promise. Even if she formed a team with this person, she couldn't fight together.Thinking of the trouble she had just added to them, Mana took a step back.

"I'll take you back to town."

The man signaled Mana to quickly agree with his gaze, his gray-blue eyes were dull, as if this was just a trivial episode, after sending Mana away, he would naturally come back to continue upgrading.

The monsters in the leveling area not far away let out depressing growls because of the system settings, and they were monsters that Mana couldn't deal with now.

If you form a team, it can indeed increase the safety, but even if you don't form a team, there will be no too much risk. When you come, you will be safe along the way, and this person is stronger than Liar...

"hurry up."

Mana shook her hand and pressed agree.

The man's tone was very flat, he expressed his meaning in a normal and short manner, but in Mana's ears, his words became more of an order.

Seeing that she had joined the team, that person's expression softened. He casually took Mana's hand, drew out the knife, and sharpened his gaze. He walked out on his own.

"Be prepared to reply yourself, I promise, I won't let the monster attack you more than once."

Terrible self-confidence.If you are only attacked once, you will be safe with a timely reply.

If you bring more people, then it will easily produce a certain error when posing the pose, and the system will just reduce the power of the sword skill because of that slight error when it recognizes it. Maybe it cannot be activated because it cannot be recognized. indefinite.

And this person is obviously more responsible than Liar. Judging from his behavior, Mana will definitely be well protected.

I owe more and more kindness, what should I do?

To Mana's surprise, this man didn't attack every monster that found them, but relied on his superb hunting skills to see the monsters from a distance and started dragging Mana to run. Every time he passed by the monster, Mana can't help but flinch. These aggressive monsters will chase after the enemy after finding the target. Only when the distance exceeds a certain level, the monster will walk back slowly because of the system settings.

Being chased by a herd of large cattle is not an interesting experience.

The most exaggerated thing is that if Liar catches up at this time, then those monsters walking back are likely to target him, and such abominable methods of harming people often appear in the game.

For example, when two teams are vying for territory, they may kill each other's doctors or support staff through such excessive methods. Of course, SAO does not have such a profession as a doctor.

This guy, could it be on purpose...

This person is not only fast, but also has amazing strength. Sometimes, it is very difficult to follow Mana's footsteps alone, and it is impossible to avoid those monsters. At this time, that person simply picked her up and ran... …

What kind of guy is he!

Thanks to him, the two returned to a nearby bustling town in half the time it took them to come. Of course, it wasn't as well-equipped as the main street, but it was also a good place for recovery and supplies.

It was already evening when they arrived at their destination. As soon as they stepped into the town, accompanied by the melodious music played by the system, their bodies and minds instantly relaxed. It was indeed a good place for people to rest, even for Mana who was not keen People who are good at raiders also gradually began to fall in love with the atmosphere of the town.

In this way, it is too arbitrary to regard everything in this world as malicious at the beginning. Only with comparison and growth can we look forward.

It's better for people to be content.

That person led Mana into a small shop probably on the edge of the town, with the word INN written on the door, but the sign was the logo of a cafe.

The decoration inside is surprisingly exquisite, with a rural atmosphere. The furniture is made of rough wood, but polished very smooth. The shop exudes the fragrance of the grass field. The NPC in the shop wipes the cups under the dim light. Seeing someone coming in, he raised his head stiffly, with a stiff and fake smile on his face.

After placing Mana on the seat by the window, the man said something to the NPC, and soon, hot milk and cake were placed in front of Mana.

Mana habitually ignored her NPC to thank her, and then wanted to thank that person.

As soon as she looked up, she found that the person sitting opposite her just now had disappeared.

A bad feeling welled up in her heart, she stood up abruptly, and looked around for that person.

Fortunately, I finally saw the dark blue figure.

"and many more!"

The man's hand was already on the doorknob. If it wasn't for Mana's sudden standing up that startled him, he would have disappeared quietly again by now.

"Why are you going?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mana regretted it.Is not this nonsensical.

It's rare to go back to the town, so I must make up enough supplies and continue to fight monsters like masochistic.

However, this will not work.

Mana shuttled between the neat dining tables, her steps staggering a little because of her anxiety.She ran to that person, grabbing that person's arm politely and impolitely.

As long as this person stepped out of this room, it might be more difficult to meet next time, Mana had this premonition.

There was no emotion in this man's gray-blue eyes, like a sculpture, and there was no expression on his handsome face. He looked directly at Mana quietly, and Mana was terrified when he saw it, as if being caught The model of the infirmary that often appears in the mysteries of the campus is staring at that.

Mana looked away a little bit, and gripped his arm even tighter because of tension. She glanced at the upper left corner, where there were the HP bars and names of the team members. Fortunately, this person has not been released yet. team up.

The other party's name is written as Tatsu, probably...

"That... Mr. Chen..."

Mana recalled Liar's previous request, as well as the information she knew about this person, and summoned up her courage.

"Take a break."

When someone stares at you for a moment, you will feel unnaturally guilty, especially if this person has ghost-like eyes...

The request that Lial and she exchanged was simple.

"The problem child on my side has gone to the labyrinth area with several knives again. If something happens to him, I will be very troubled, so can I trouble you to persuade him and let him have a rest. "

"Take him back to town and lock him up in a hotel for a night's sleep. As long as he gets enough rest, he will be much more energetic."

"You don't want something to happen to your benefactor, do you?"

That's what Liar told her, and she believed it without any doubt.

How should I put it, this person can definitely do such an annoying thing!Even if Liar is bad, or has some bad intentions, but the concern is real.

Don't do such worrying things anymore, love yourself more!

What made Mana very embarrassed was that this person seemed to have not heard her words, and he didn't refute or speak, and just kept staring at her.If this is not the world of SAO, Mana must think about whether the guy in front of her is some relative of Ah Piao...

At this time, even if he said "it has nothing to do with you", Mana would not feel so uncomfortable, and it was too scary to have no response.

The two stood at the door for a long time. If it was the real world, the store would probably chase people away, but because this is a game, the NPC is still wiping the cups. Bread and other foods that can fill the stomach, usually no one comes to stay here, and no one comes to save Mana from the fire.

Manado hopes that someone will come in from the outside to help her out of the embarrassing situation, even if that person is Liar, it doesn't matter!

Unable to bear the weird atmosphere more and more, Mana thought, it was really useless, she was only saved a few times, so why would she think that this person would listen to her persuasion?

She let go of her hand slowly in frustration, and took two steps back.

"Sorry……"

It was her who was rude first, and "This time, I saved me, thank you."

"I just want to tell you this, I didn't mean to trouble you."

This should be the most perfect result, but Mana herself couldn't notice at all, the expression on her face that she was so wronged that she was about to cry. Of course, she didn't really want to cry. Once the thought of crying came up, then Really cry.

It's just because of my position, because I can't do anything, I feel very powerless and guilty.

I wanted to thank you properly, but now it seems that I was screwed up.

But to her surprise, the man didn't push the door away immediately after she let go, instead he walked into the store and sat back at the table with the milk and dessert ordered for Mana , and beckoned Mana to go too.

After watching Mana sit down, he brought the dessert in front of Mana to his face, looked at it with a frown, then picked up the knife and fork hesitantly, cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

He was extremely quiet when he was eating, and it was eerily quiet in the shop where there was no one but them.

However, his actions made Mana very surprised, even excited.

I heard that he only ate one piece of black bread in the maze every day, so what does his current behavior represent?

He ate the plate of cake very quietly, and then put down the knife and fork.Mana was sitting upright, and she knew that this person was about to speak.

"I don't know what's the point of eating and sleeping in this world."

Mana nodded to show that she heard it. At first, she had similar thoughts, but she couldn't resist the hunger and sleepiness.

"When I was in the real world, I often suffered from insomnia."

"For me, sleeping is a waste of time."

What a strange person.

"You want me to rest? Why? We don't know each other, so you don't need to care about me."

The decisive and cruel negation was also the longest sentence that Mana heard.

At the beginning, after being reminded by Liar, Mana also thought about the source of this person's goodwill, and concluded that she really didn't know this person. Later, she thought, maybe this person knew her, or maybe he was She might have any relatives, but she denied it again.If there was such a handsome relative, he would have been taken out for comparison a long time ago.

"What's the reason...you can't tell me if you ask me..."

"Probably because you are a benefactor..."

"Speaking of which, why did you save me?"

Mana got the initiative. She found that when she heard her question, the person on the opposite side looked away unnaturally, stopped talking, and just stared at the monotonous scenery outside the glass window.

Then there was another silence, and when the clock in the shop rang, announcing that it was seven o'clock in the evening, the man spoke again.

"Do me a favor."

It seemed to be a sculpture-like expression, without any emotion, and the tone of voice did not reveal anything, but Mana felt that this person might really need help.

Mana nodded, "As long as I can do it."
