Survival: King Picking Game

——Yes, here is a part of the new world.

In the short ten days between Li Pingan and Lisbeth, the new adventure journey started here——

……

Chapter 142 Visiting the "Holy Sword" T

Although the independent trading city is adjacent to the volcanic belt on the coastal part, there are still forests sandwiched between them.The closest location to this forest, which is commonly known as "Hausmann's Forest", is Shichiban Street.

Even though this area has the name of "street", it is only in name only—the reason for this is that most of it is made up of farmland.A huge agricultural land that employs people to support the development of the city.

The streets were crowded and bustling.A bustling scene.As the economic center of the entire continent, an independent trading city is just a city, but it can still maintain its independent status under the attack of several major forces from the empire, the military state, and the group of countries. It exists as the fourth party force on the mainland—— The reasons are quite complicated.

The founder of the city, the first generation of Hausman, can be said to have contributed a lot.He is far-sighted and capable—during the Great War, all countries spoke highly of the first-generation Hussman who established the foundation of an independent trading city.In the part of the free trade and prayer contract, because the several documents he left behind contributed greatly to the development of the mainland after the war, the credibility of the history of the mainland he studied alone was also recognized.

But in Li Pingan's view, the real crux of the problem is the volcano closest to the independent trading city.

——Under that side, the strongest man, Halvanir, is sealed with the holy sword.

Crash mountains, divide the earth, use the sea as drinking water.

To sum it up in one sentence, Hall Vanier is the undisputed final boss in the world of "Holy Sword Blacksmith".From the beginning to the end, the whole story revolves around how to seal this monster—humans in this world can't even kill it completely.

Its original name "Holy Sword Blacksmith" is also related to Holvanier - the weapon that can completely seal this monster is the weapon called "Holy Sword".However, the holy sword of the previous generation has gradually become invalid due to the passage of time, and Holvanier is about to break the seal.Therefore, people need a new "sacred sword" to seal Halvanir again, and seek the adventure of creating a real holy sword, which is the main plot of the story.

But the irony is that a certain special power that humans in this world can use - just like "chakra", "magic power", "ki" and "spiritual power" in other worlds - has been The power called "spiritual body" actually benefits from Hal Vanier.

The huge amount of spiritual body spewed out of Holvanier's mouth diffused into the air. This is the spiritual body that can be used by human beings.

——The spirit body, that is, the curse of Halvanir

People mainly use the spirits in the air through the "devil contract" that has been banned by the mainland, and the "prayer contract" that is a substitute for the "devil contract".

——Then, the main reason why the independent trading city can maintain its independent position among the coveted forces is obvious.

Because it is the closest area to Hall Vanier.So although there are few people, the concentration of spirits in the air is high. In other words, a stronger "prayer contract" can be used.At the same time, as the area with the highest concentration of spiritual bodies on the mainland, it also brought irreplaceable commercial prosperity.

... This is the superficial reason.

The more fundamental reason, which is not understood by the public, is that the "Holy Sword Blacksmith" family who mastered the "Holy Sword" forging technology, and as a last resort, accepted the curse of the "Holy Sword Sheath" The Campbells all live here.

Therefore, the independent trading city has a unique status that the mainland countries have defaulted to.

——After using the quest scroll, the place where Li Pingan and Lisbeth were teleported is the main place where this story takes place.

"Task Name: Artisan Upgrade Task

Mission objective: Learn the forging skills of the 'Holy Sword' in the world of "Holy Sword Blacksmith".

Mission Duration: Ten days

Task start time: Three years before the official start of the plot. "

"...You...you mean, this is a different world?!" Lisbeth opened her mouth wide, seeing the expression of aliens on her face.

"...After becoming a participant in the summoning game, you should have been instilled with the necessary relevant knowledge by the central system." Li Pingan replied calmly, "All of this is true... Such understanding and awareness , should be there too? Different worlds exist, and the number is close to infinite, and I will go there often in the future."

"...Ah." Lisbeth finally said with a sigh as she didn't know how to react.

"...Although I have always thought about leaving SAO as soon as possible, I never thought that I would travel through another world. This is even more incredible than turning a virtual game into a real killing field!"

"...Really." Li Ping'an nodded, "However, it's true in terms of feeling. But like me, a gamer who is destined to take risks in various worlds, doesn't feel much."

The two were now walking down a certain block of the Independent Trading City, to a foundry at the corner of the 'Hussmann Forest' away from the center of Seventh Street.

In front of the two of them was a whole white forest. This forest didn't have an official name, but it was called 'Hussman Forest' for convenience when the city was designed.

The rough virgin forest across the field of vision, and the dense grass growing as if entangled with tree roots, all of which are completely buried under the thick white ash.

As the line of sight moves from the forest to the sky, the color of the sky is divided into two. Once the clear, blue and dazzling sky passes the boundary of the forest, it is stained with grayish white, that is, volcanic ash.The volcanic ash emitted by the volcano located on the other side of the forest covers the entire forest and its sky, so this forest is also called "Ash Curtain Forest".

Just above the top of the forest, beyond the horizon of that ash-curtain, the ridgeline of the volcanic field could be seen faintly.Looking back, there is a house built in the place closest to the forest.

It was an old wooden house.The surface was blackened by the wind and rain, and several vines growing from the forest along the ground climbed to the wall, creating an atmosphere that could be mistaken for an abandoned house if you were not careful.Especially since the location is in an inaccessible place, if it were not known in advance, it would be hard to imagine that this house would actually be inhabited by people.

——Here is the destination of Li Pingan and Lisbeth.The place where the family who mastered the forging skills of the "Holy Sword" lived.

"...Wow, isn't this place too dilapidated?"

Chapter 143 Goal! Expert craftsman! One hundred thousand reward plus 1 T

Lisbeth asked in disbelief.

"... Can people really live in such a dilapidated place? And it's still a forging workshop... It should be an abandoned place, right?"

Leaving aside other things, the "Lisbeth Workshop" she owned in the SAO world, although it occupies a small area and has simple facilities, is at least very tidy under the careful care of the girl every day. .

"No. It's here." Li Pingan looked at it carefully for a while, compared it with the description of passers-by, and then replied affirmatively.

"...Alas." Lisbeth sighed, not knowing whether it was regret or confusion.

...Is this the kind of place where the "Holy Sword Blacksmith" who shoulders the mission of defending this continent lives?

Li Pingan walked to the door and knocked politely.

It was very quiet inside, and there was no response.

Li Pingan tried several times, but there was still no response.It was finally confirmed that there was no one in the workshop now.
