Planting the World Tree From Pirates

The 55th floor of Aincrad.

Grantham.

The headquarters of the Knights of the Blood.

Asuna, who was busy analyzing the intelligence, couldn't help but stretch her waist. Although SAO is a data-based body, she still feels "tired" after sitting and working for a long time.

Asuna stood up and looked out through the office window.

For a moment, the scenery outside the office building came into view.

The city of "Grantham", where the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood is located, is also known as the "Iron Capital".

Unlike other towns, which are mostly made of stone, this town's main building is a "giant minaret" made of steel that glows black.

Although many players settled here due to the prosperity of smelting and gold carving craftsmanship, there are no street trees in the streets at all. In this season of autumn, people have the impression that it is particularly cold when the wind blows.

This huge spire is easily reminiscent of the floating castle "Aincrad" itself, so Asuna didn't particularly like it.

But he couldn't bear the head Heathcliff liked it here. Many members of the Knights of the Blood also felt that the Iron City was in line with the iron and perseverance of the Knights of the Blood.

The minority obeyed the majority, and Asuna had no choice.

Therefore, this place has also become the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood Alliance.

"It's been a year!"

Feeling a rustling autumn wind, Asuna couldn't help feeling a little sad for the spring and autumn.

Although Asuna always used her busy work to anesthetize herself, her thoughts of her hometown overflowed from time to time.

Exactly.

It has been a year since the last time Wings of Freedom defeated the 25th floor guard boss alone.

If you count the time before the 25th floor, she and many players have been trapped in this steel castle for almost a year and a half.

A year and a half can really change a lot.

Now, Asuna has begun to get used to seeing the fantasy-style bedroom when she opens her eyes every morning.

I'm also used to just ordering twice to make a dish that looks extremely exquisite, and I'm also used to eating a sumptuous meal alone.

As for what I think about every day, it is also how to get to the next floor as soon as possible.

Even some memories of the real world began to fade.

So much so that Asuna has the illusion that she was born in the world of Aincrad!

I have to say that habit is really a very terrifying force.

but.

Every midnight, Asuna couldn't help but miss her hometown.

In the real world, Asuna hates that her mother is doing everything, she has to intervene in every aspect of her life, and even always introduces her to various "young talents".

This made Asuna feel like she was a marionette in her mother's hands, and she was always thinking about how to escape.

but.

We haven't seen each other for nearly a year and a half, and Asuna still misses her parents uncontrollably.

Trapped in this world for a year and a half, she can still know the progress of the game's strategy, so she finally has hope.

But how should parents in the real world suffer?

in addition.

In reality, what happened to her body?

Asuna didn't think that this game could go on forever.

People who lie still for a long time, even if they have the best nursing conditions, will still gradually weaken.

And it's just a slow physical death!

Even more terrifying, there is the chronic death in society.

If you are stuck in this game for three or four years, your peers in reality will probably have left them far behind.

It is said that the three-year generation gap and the five-year generation gap, if she continues to be trapped like this, her life in reality will probably be completely rotten!

Every time she thinks of this, Asuna's heart shudders uncontrollably.

Sometimes I even get so anxious that I can't sleep all night!

but.

The progress of the strategy really cannot go any faster!

In the past year, the two guilds, the Knights of the Blood and the Wings of Freedom, have been fighting fiercely.

On the tenth day after the 25th floor guard boss was defeated by the Wings of Freedom, the Knights of the Blood Alliance, led by their leader Heathcliff, alone defeated the 26th floor guard boss.

It is really not too slow to conquer a floor in ten days.

After all, life is only once, and once it is lost, it will never come back.

Following the Wings of Freedom, the Knights of the Blood Clan showed their strength and told all the players that the defensive boss, the Knights of the Blood Clan, could also be attacked alone.

The name of Heathcliff, the mysterious leader of the Knights of the Blood, once again spread throughout SAO.

And this is like sounding the horn of war!

On the ninth day after the Knights of the Blood Alliance defeated the 26th floor guard boss, Makino led the Wings of Freedom group to defeat the 27th floor guard boss again without injury.

This feat once again shocked many people.

When did the guard bosses get attacked so easily?

But no matter what, this is exciting news for all trapped players.

Every floor is raided, it means that it is closer to home.

The Wings of Freedom has gone a step further, so how could the Knights of the Blood League lag behind?

Then, in less than 7 days, the Knights of the Blood Alliance successfully managed to conquer the 29th floor guard boss.

This made the other guilds unable to sit still!

There is no other reason. The Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Wings of Freedom are fighting with each other, which has almost closed the guard bosses on all floors. The gap between them and other guilds is getting wider and wider.

If the Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Wings of Freedom continue to sing this one-man show like this, it is estimated that there will be no other guilds in the future.

The first one to put it into action was the Wannian Old Three Holy Dragons Union. Not only that, but the Aincrad liberation force stationed in the town of the beginning on the first floor set sail again, returned to the raiding team, and launched an attack on the 30th floor. charge.

However, the cruel facts once again proved to everyone that not every guild is the Wings of Freedom and the Knights of the Blood Alliance.

Not every team leader is Makino and Heathcliff!

The two leaders and the two guilds once again proved to everyone that mortals in the world of genius do not understand.

However, when the raid floor reached 35 floors, the raid progress slowed down again.

Even the Wings of Freedom and the Knights of the Blood Alliance, the two strongest guilds, couldn't defeat the guard bosses on a single floor alone.

to this.

The way of the Knights of the Blood Alliance is to expand the scale!

The head of the group, Heathcliff, personally came forward to recruit various guilds, and the scale of the Knights of the Blood Coalition expanded rapidly.

The various guilds of the strategy group were almost wiped out.

Today's blood alliance knights not only have many elites, but also have a large scale.

If you only look at the number, the Knights of the Blood Alliance will definitely surpass the Wings of Freedom. It is the largest guild in SAO.

However, what followed was that the Knights of the Blood Alliance became somewhat mixed.

For example, the Knights of the Blood Alliance stipulated that each officer should be equipped with guards.

And Asuna's bodyguard was Cladil, which made Asuna feel very troubled.

Of course, Asuna's biggest feeling is that the people in the raiding team and even the Knights of the Blood Alliance are no longer as aggressive as they used to be.

This made Asuna feel terrible!

As for the Wings of Freedom, it didn't expand as wildly as the Knights of the Blood Alliance.

The strategy of Wings of Freedom is still an absolute elite line.

However, Wings of Liberty has established a very close cooperative relationship with production players, such as blacksmiths, animal trainers, tailors, pharmacists, bards... these players.

It is precisely because of this that every player in Wings of Freedom is an absolute local tyrant.

The equipment on his body is all luxurious to a mess.

As for all kinds of one-time consumables, every time a floor is raided, it is more like throwing out without money.

Not only that, Wings of Freedom has even reached out to information sales, entertainment manufacturing, clothing and food production, etc.

Among the middle- and lower-level players, the influence of the Wings of Freedom and the Knights of the Blood Alliance are not comparable.

to this.

The Knights of the Blood Alliance don't care!

In fact, sometimes the Knights of the Blood Alliance do not understand the idea of ​​Wings of Freedom.

In the eyes of many people in the Knights of the Blood Alliance, spending so much time, energy and money on middle- and lower-level players is actually not worth it.

With all this time and energy, it is better to raid one more floor.

No matter what the different strategies are, the Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Wings of Freedom are still inseparable.

As for which guild is the largest guild in SAO, players have a steel scale in their hearts.

Strictly speaking, in today's SAO, players either belong to the free system or the blood alliance.

The real third faction is basically almost compressed and has no living space.

Still answering the sentence - the eldest and the second fought, and the third died.

A year later, the former third largest guild, the Holy Dragon United, is now almost squeezed into a younger brother.

Over the past year, the distance between the Holy Dragon United and the Aincrad Liberation Force and the Knights of the Wings of Liberty Blood Alliance has not only not narrowed, but has become farther and farther.

I have to say, this is really a sad story.

Of course.

The Smile Coffin of the Killing Guild is an exception!

Over the past year, the smiling coffin has become more and more rampant.

The peaceful players have been patient to the limit!

The Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Wings of Freedom even intend to launch sanctions against the Smiling Coffin, but the question of who leads the two guilds has become a very important obstacle in the middle.

Exactly!

Nowadays, due to the continuous rivalry between the Wings of Freedom and the Knights of the Blood Alliance, although there is no open face to tear their faces, the open and secret confrontation is still more obvious.

Although Asuna even has some admiration for Makino and Wings of Freedom, the issue of identity has widened the gap between the two.

It's only been a year, but Asuna feels that she doesn't know these former players.

Especially the Knights of the Blood Alliance, there are even signs of a struggle for power and profit within them recently.

This made Asuna very unhappy!

Obviously it's just a cage, but there is still time to fight for power and profit. I really don't know what those guys who are greedy for profit think.

Phew~~~

Asuna let out a long sigh of relief, intending to spit out all the stagnation in her heart.

[What should I cook when I get home tonight? ]

Although Asuna hadn't returned home, her heart drifted to her home on the 61st floor.

The name of the main block on the 60th floor is [Sermu Brut]. Although it is not large in scale, it is entirely made of white granite. There is a city street centered on the ancient city of gorgeous minarets, which forms a beautiful contrast with most of the green spaces that dot it. , There are also quite a variety of shops in the market.

Life is convenient and the scenery is beautiful, which is the core reason why Asuna chose to place her home on this floor.

Asuna did not choose to use the transfer crystal, but chose to walk to the transfer door near the spire.

Transfer crystals are not only consumables, but also expensive beyond imagination.

Even a rich woman like Asuna is not luxurious enough to take a transfer crystal home.

However, just as Asuna was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

It was Kladier who entered the door.

Seeing his unbelievably serious face, Asuna felt a surge of pressure in her heart.

If it wasn't for the need to maintain her image, Asuna couldn't help but want to show a bitter face.

Do you want to keep a straight face?

If she didn't know, Asuna would even mistakenly think she owes this guy several hundred million!

However, as an eldest lady, the good upbringing she has cultivated since she was a child makes it difficult for her to say too harsh words.

Asuna: "Is something wrong?"

Cratier said respectfully, "Lord Asuna, I just received a tip that President Makino of Wings of Freedom has given everyone a holiday."

"A holiday, are you sure you heard it right?"

Asuna was a little stunned, extremely shocked.

The Wings of Freedom and the Knights of the Blood Alliance are old rivals. Even if Kladier told Asuna that the Wings of Freedom had successfully conquered the guard boss on the 70th floor, Asuna would not be too surprised.

However, Asuna didn't expect a vacation.

For Asuna, the word "holiday" is really too long ago, so that Asuna almost forgot about the holiday.

Although, as the deputy head of the team, even if she quietly skips work, it is estimated that not many people will gossip.

But so far, she has never been absent once.

What's more, most of the raiding meetings of the Knights of the Blood were held by Asuna.

Although, when attacking the defensive boss, the head of the team, Heathcliff, played the role of the needle of the sea.

But Asuna's prestige in the Knights of the Blood is truly unmatched by anyone except Heathcliff.

Asuna asked curiously, "Do you know why?"

Cradyer's old-fashioned face showed a quirky look, "It is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Everyone from Wings of Freedom is planning to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival on a boat."

Mid-autumn festival?

Cradle's words made Asuna recall some of the past.

Asuna couldn't help but recall the scene of the moon viewing banquet at home, and even couldn't help recalling the taste of "Tsukimi dumplings".

Fragrant and fragrant, lips and teeth are full of saliva!

Suddenly I really want to eat moon dumplings, what should I do?

Here I have to mention the difference between China and Japan. It is also the Mid-Autumn Festival. China pays attention to looking up at the bright moon, while Japan is more attracted to the moonlight on the water.

As for "Yue Jian Danzi", it is equivalent to the "moon cake" in China.

It is a must-eat food during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

[Damn! ]

Asuna suddenly felt that the greedy worm could not hold back.

However, at this moment, Krader's words came again.

"Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Muye and Wings of Freedom are hypocritical. Where is our Blood Alliance Knights determined? It's a shame that someone as arrogant as Muye is as famous as the leader!"

Hearing Cratier's words, Asuna frowned, and for some unknown reason, a nameless fire burst into her heart uncontrollably.

Muye is arrogant, so what is she?

Asuna said with a stern face, "Cladier, don't say anything about Makino's unworthy of being as famous as the captain. If anyone hears it, it will only make people look down on our blood alliance knights! "

Cradle was a little stunned.

As Asuna's bodyguard, Kladier has some understanding of Asuna's temper.

The deputy head of the team is cold and cold, but he has a good temper. He has almost never blushed at others, let alone reprimanded them so seriously.

Asuna-sama...what's the matter?

Obviously, the one he demoted was the Wings of Freedom, the sworn enemy of the Knights of the Blood!

However, as Asuna's bodyguard, Cradle naturally didn't intend to offend Asuna over such trivial matters.

"Yes, I know I was wrong, and I won't say such things again in the future!"

Asuna nodded, "That's it. By the way, please help me to ask for a vacation for the leader. I also plan to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, if conditions permit, everyone in the Knights of the Blood Alliance will also take a vacation. Bar!"

Huh?

Cratier was a little stunned for a while.

How could the Knights of the Blood Alliance be so weak?

What's more, Wings of Liberty is on holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, if the Knights of the Blood Alliance follow along, doesn't it mean that the Knights of the Blood Alliance is outmatched by the Wings of Freedom?

Cladier immediately took the attitude of a loyal minister and said, "Lord Asuna, it's absolutely impossible!"

However, just as Cradle was about to talk, Asuna used the transfer crystal to leave.

Cratier was instantly petrified.

With transfer crystals... As for?

Could it be that Asuna-sama wants to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival like that little white face of Makino?

Thinking of Makino's handsome face, Cratier could not contain envy, jealousy and hatred.

Every time the Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Wings of Freedom confront each other, almost always Asuna takes the lead.

Between Asuna and Makino, there are often quarrels over the strategy of the strategy.

Either Asuna rebuked Makino's plan for being too radical, or Makino rebuked Asuna's plan for being too rigid.

The quarrel between the two has now become a kind of interesting talk in the strategy group, and even the entire SAO.

but.

I don't know if it was an illusion or not, but Cradyer faintly felt that Asuna seemed to be hostile towards Makino and Wings of Freedom, not like members of the Knights of the Blood.

Thinking of Makino's handsome face, Cratier's heart suddenly became cloudy.

In the eyes of Cradle, Muye's reputation was a terrible one.

It seems that some of the most beautiful female players in SAO seem to have some inexplicable relationship with Makino.

You must know that the ratio of male and female players in SAO is out of balance to the point of being insane.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they are female players, they are more popular.

But girls like Asuna, Yuna, Silica, and Yuki are even rarer than S-rank items or props~www.NovelMTL.com~ It seems that the loli called Silica, it seems At a concert, he was ripped off by a tabloid reporter.

So.

The entertainment tabloid that time was almost full of several large pages, with all kinds of gossip news about Makino and Silica.

[Asuna-sama shouldn't...]

However, as soon as this thought arose, it was ruthlessly killed by Cradle.

impossible!

Asuna-sama and a weak little white face like Makino will not have anything to do with each other!

It's not a lot of speculation. If the two meet, they will quarrel, right?

Even so, the threat named Makino still lingered in Krader's heart.

Although he is only Asuna's bodyguard, in the eyes of Cradle, Asuna belongs to him.

Makino...Damn!

It's amazing to be handsome, isn't it?

Asuna-sama wouldn't have anything to do with a weak guy like Makino!

Cradle firmly believed that Asuna-sama was different from other superficial guys.
