Chapter 360: Ban Ye Accepts a Disciple

Kirito thought that if he encountered trouble that he couldn't solve, Izuna would definitely come to save him.

But he was wrong.

When he was surrounded by five elite goblins, and Quan Nai was still sitting on the sidelines watching the battle, he knew that the 'life and death battle' Quan Nai said was true!

Either he kills these five elite goblins, or he is killed.

"what to do."

Sweat seemed to be flowing down Kirito's forehead, and he clenched two standard one-handed swords in his hands.

"Ouch!"

An elite goblin rushed towards Kirito with a club while spitting.

At this moment, Kirito glanced at Senna subconsciously.

While Quan Nai was watching the battle, he kept turning the 'Steel Sword' in his hand.

An idea suddenly flashed in Kirito's mind. He raised his left hand to block the attack. He turned his right hand and inserted it into the elite goblin's skull from top to bottom, causing a critical hit. In one fell swoop, he lost three points to the elite goblin. One's blood volume.

He remembered.

The vast majority of swordsmen hold the hilt of their sword tightly with one or both hands because they are afraid that they will lose their grip when the sword is facing each other and the weapon will be knocked out.

But Uchiha swordsmanship is different.

Uchiha swordsmanship is more focused on assassination, and is good at finding opportunities to kill with one blow in battle, which requires flexibility in swordsmanship.

Therefore, Izuna taught Kirito to hold the sword lightly most of the time, so as to ensure that the blade can turn the direction as quickly as possible and pierce the target from other angles during the battle.

After the attack was successful, Kirito took this opportunity to jump out from the direction of the goblin and escape the encirclement.

Kirito then ran and fought. Although he was a little more embarrassed, he really killed the last five elite goblins.

Even Kirito himself couldn't believe that he could achieve this level.

"how do you feel?"

Izuna walked over and looked down at Kirito.

"I felt like I was going to die several times, but I'm already at Level 6."

Kirito looked at the prompt in front of him with an expression of luck and joy on his face.

"Well, you are not used to life-and-death battles now. Your sword skills will become more and more fluent in the future."

"Master, where are you going next?"

"Take you to find someone."

Quan Nai glanced at the message in the upper right corner of his field of vision before saying.

"who?"

Kirito didn't understand.

At this time, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and continue training to improve our level?

"A mobile NPC, he will issue tasks that allow you to quickly find Pokémon. You have to start to develop the ability and tacit understanding to fight with Pokémon."

"Pokémon? Okay!"

When Kirito heard it was a Pokémon, he immediately nodded.

He knew the role that Pokémon could play in battle. If he had only one Pokémon when he faced five elite goblins just now, there would be no need to be so embarrassed.

"Let's go."

. . .

The first level is the starting town.

Madara was walking on the streets of the town, and the players around him gave him various looks.

Not to mention Madara Level 7 at this time, he was wearing rare equipment and had four followers behind him.

Those four people were all closed beta players, and two of them were teammates that Kirito often played with during the closed beta period. All four of them started collecting information about Madara early on, and then followed him.

But so far they are just members of a small team.

The reason why Madara hasn't established a guild yet is because establishing a guild requires a lot of things, mainly two things.

One is a token for establishing a guild. This thing can be dropped by any monster, but so far Madara has not found it, but he asked Senna to pay attention to it for him.

The other one is the guild station.

If you want to set up a guild, you need to buy a piece of land or a house in a peaceful town, and then hang the flag of your own guild.

Only when these two factors are present at the same time can a guild be established.

Madara is not willing to just buy a rubbish place, but a good place requires a lot of currency, and their current assets are not enough to buy it.

But he is not in a hurry. It is not too late to go up a few floors and buy a guild station. Anyway, there are not many people there now.

"Trade all the equipment you have on you to us."

"That's right, otherwise you wouldn't have to think about leaving the Town of Beginning."

"Of course, if you are willing to go to a hotel with us to get a room at night. That is not impossible to discuss."

When Madara was walking through an alley with four closed beta players, he suddenly heard the voices of several men and the sobbing of a girl.

"Um?"

Madara frowned, stopped and turned his head to look over.

"Many people have gone crazy, thinking that the laws outside can't control the inside, and the players inside can't go out anymore, so they start doing whatever they want."

A yellow man named 'Reynold' next to Madara said, and at the same time glanced at the alley with disdain, "These people can only talk about it. In fact, they dare not do anything, because as long as they kill people, they will Will become a famous player."

"As long as the red-named players enter the city, they will be chased by the guards in the city. The average level of the guards in the starting town is Lv. 15. Several red-named players have been killed in the past few days."

The green-haired guy on the other side named ‘Kaino’ added.

"Mr. Madara, do you want to smash those few and drive them away?"

A black-skinned, red-haired man who seemed to have a hot temper shouted a few words.

The voice reached the alley directly, scaring the few people, and they walked out in anger.

"Who do you say is smashing?"

"I think you don't want to mix anymore."

"Do you know who my father is?"

"Could it be me?"

The last blue-haired man wearing glasses behind Madara asked back with a squinting smile, not taking the six or seven people who walked out into his eyes.

Another thing that Madara's team is famous for is their hair color.

Including Madara, the five colors of black, red, blue, green, and yellow can form a team.

This is not to say that they have such a weird hair color in the real world, but that when they restored their true appearance in the public beta, they only restored their body and face, and did not restore their hair color together.

Several people couldn't see clearly in the alley just now, and now they are sweating profusely after seeing who the group of people in front of them are.

Especially Madara.

Nowadays, many players want to join Madara's team to seek shelter, but unfortunately the latter's vision and requirements are relatively high, and it is basically impossible to get in without some strength or brains.

But if the group of lickers knew that they had provoked Madara, then someone would definitely come to trouble them to attract Madara's attention and see if they could get a chance to join the team.

Thinking of this, their faces suddenly became bad, and they ran away with their faces covered, for fear that others would remember their appearance.

"Woof!"

The Caterpie, who was still at Madara's leg, had entered the alley at some point and brought out a girl with pink hair and tearful eyes.

Lizbeth, whose real name is Shinozaki Rika, is a 15-year-old girl.

A famous forger in the original SAO, she was also one of the fans who liked Kirito. She created the "White Sword-Dark Repulser" for Kirito. This sword was almost going to become Kirito's graduation weapon, but it was unfortunately shattered in the final battle with Kayaba Akihiko.

Caterpie held Lizbeth's trouser leg in her mouth and led the girl to Madara.

"."

Ban just looked at Lizbeth quietly without saying a word.

He was wondering what Caterpillar was doing. Generally speaking, he shouldn't do anything unnecessary.

"Um. Thank you for your help, thank you for saving me."

Lizbeth was under a lot of psychological pressure from being stared at.

At this time, there was some dirty dust on her face, which was wiped off by those people who pushed her to the ground just now.

"It's okay."

Ban waved his hand. He didn't do anything at all. It was just that the group of people were scared.

Then, he planned to leave with his men.

"Woof!"

But at this time, Caterpillar suddenly barked and bit Ban's trouser leg.

"?"

Ban looked at Caterpillar with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Lizbeth.

There must be a tacit understanding over the years. Since Caterpillar would do such a thing, there must be something unusual about this girl that Caterpillar noticed.

Based on Ban's understanding of Caterpillar, it was probably that there was something special about Lizbeth that Caterpillar smelled.

"Can I add you as a friend? I work at the blacksmith shop and have become a 'forger'. I can help you forge or repair weapons in the future as a token of my gratitude."

Lizbeth took a deep breath, then bowed nervously and gratefully.

The pressure Madara put on her was too great, as if she was facing a very strict elder, so that she didn't dare to speak.

"Forger?"

Madara raised his eyebrows, recalling that his secondary profession during the closed beta period was 'forger'.

If you have forging skills, you can indeed create a unique and handy weapon, and even give your weapon the desired enhancement effects and entries, as long as you collect the materials.

In order to deal effective damage in the later levels, weapon enhancement and enchantment are necessary, but that requires a very high level of forger.

Even after the public beta, Madara still wants to become a forger as a secondary profession, but he obviously doesn't have that much time.

He has to manage the guild, and even lead his men to fight for equipment, earn money, and level up. Unlike the closed beta period, he can no longer spend so much time and energy to focus on improving his forger level.

But the guild does need a dedicated high-level forger, so that it can maintain the status and reputation of the "first guild".

"Yes."

Lizbeth nodded.

"Do you want to be my apprentice?"

Madara looked at Lizbeth and asked.

He thought that since Izuna had accepted an apprentice, it would be okay for him to accept an apprentice, right? This would also strengthen the guild, right?

Speaking of which, he didn't have a female apprentice yet.

"Of course!"

Lizbeth's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded quickly, fearing that she would miss this opportunity.
