Chapter 102 [There Is a Cave Ahead, if There Is a Giant]

Chapter 102 [There is a cave ahead, if there is a giant...]

The golden advice appeared, and the blessing showed a dazzling light, guiding all the way to the distant Stonewell City.

"Even if the guidance has been broken long ago..."

Rock chewed these words patiently. In the game of the previous life, this was the advice given to the player by the player's real witch.

In the magic circle, every faded person who hopes to become the king has a witch of his own, and the protagonist's witch has died at the beginning of the game.

Melina, who was met later, can only be said to be the guidance of fate.

Fate allows players to help each other.

And the blessing point [before the level] in front of you is where the player and Melina officially meet, and here the player will get the mount that has always been with him - the calf horse Torret.

But now there is nothing...

The blessing of meeting Melina is now only an inexplicable advice.

There is no holy grail bottle that restores blood and mana, no calf horse, and no soul-calling bell.

"Is this the real... Has the guidance been broken long ago..."

Rock stopped thinking about this kind of thing, but sat cross-legged next to the blessing, resting at the blessing point with Kirito, Asuna and others.

"Ah... I'm so tired, I can finally rest, let's explore the area ahead later..." Asuna stretched lazily, the curves of her figure were tightly covered by the stargazer robe, the golden light of the blessing reflected on her face, with the afterglow of the dazzling golden tree, like a pious witch.

Under Rock's gaze and the light of the blessing, she slowly took off the hood of the stargazer robe.

This scene made Rock feel that it was quite similar to the scene of Melina taking off her hat in the game.

I understand, Asuna's Na is Melina's Na.

After working hard for a few days, I wanted to see Melina, but I didn't see her at this moment.

This made Rock, who had not yet solved the doubts in his heart, immediately start to go crazy to his teammates: "Ah~ Asuna, the light of my life, the fire of desire, my sin..."

Asuna's face turned slightly red, but she quickly responded - using the words Rock said when he first met her.

"Humph, it seems that my cuteness has touched you..."

In this crazy world, the four of them occasionally need to tease each other to spend time outside of killing and leveling.

If you don't want to go crazy with this world, teammates must learn to regulate their emotions.

Asuna's counterattack did not end. She crawled to Rock's side and stretched out her hand to him: "I am very cute, v me fifty runes."

"..."

Rock was silent.

Then he decided to transfer the conflict to someone else.

Rock turned to look at the innocent Kirito on the side, and also learned to beg for mercy, stretching out his hand to Kirito: "I am also handsome, v me one hundred runes."

"..."Kirito silently turned his back to him.

"Ah~Kirito, the light of my life, the fire of my desire——"

"Here, here! Don't read it like that..." Kirito blushed and immediately stood up and took out a hundred runes and gave them to Rock.

Rock nodded and took the runes. Suddenly he thought that he should give Asuna, the founder of Taokouzi, some copyright fees, so he generously rewarded Asuna with fifty.

Seeing the two people's undisguised division of the spoils, Kirito's eyes went black and he was fainted by his dog teammate.

"Ah~Klein, my life——is it asleep?" Looking at Klein who seemed to be asleep, Rock lowered his head in disappointment. He wanted to use the same trick to trick some runes again.

...

Fire and light flickered among the four people, gradually driving away fear and confusion.

And outside this warm blessing like a bonfire, the border area still seeped with painful and shrill cries.

Rock wiped the straight sword in his hand, and put his shield aside. The other three people also gradually relaxed and fell asleep - because today was the day for Rock to keep watch.

Rock looked at them sleeping peacefully, and finally showed a look of relief on his face, although he did not have the three most important things for players - the Holy Grail Bottle, Torret, and the Soul-Calling Bell.

But unknowingly, he had three more reliable teammates around him.

Is this the feeling of being entrusted with expectations...

It is indeed a heavy burden.

Rock stopped maintaining his weapon and looked up at the dark moon in the sky.

In fact, even Rock was not sure whether he, who always placed his expectations on himself, was qualified to become the king.

People always place their expectations on people who are stronger than themselves. When this expectation is no longer possible, the strongest king of mankind is born.

And when the king also begins to look up, what will be born? It is God.

The borderland has always followed the system of one king and one god.

But now, Rock looked around the sky. The golden tree was dim, the dark moon was hazy, and there was no god when he looked up.

When he looked down, he could only see the straight sword that he had polished to a fairly bright shine and his companion who was sleeping peacefully.

Rock sighed softly and summoned his personal panel. In the dark night, he began to continue trying to convert the remaining two beast-type digital cores into his own talents.

…

[North of Yakir Lake] Blessing point.

“Swish——” The Kaidan mercenary on horseback waved a huge cavalry saber, slashing through the air, making a harsh sound.

But soon, a figure took advantage of the gap in the Kaidan mercenary's attack and leaned down to climb onto the horse's back!

It's Asuna!

“Pyroxene Demon Gravel!”

She thrust the magic wand into the mercenary's mouth, and a magic gravel exploded in the mercenary's mouth instantly, bursting into azure particles that penetrated the mercenary's head.

Magic execution!

She had learned the fighting style from Rock, and had completely broken away from the ordinary fighting framework in the game. Instead, she showed her talent and began to play freely.

Because she could only rely on rest to restore her magic power, Asuna began to study how to kill the enemy with the simplest magic, and try not to use the second shot if she could use one shot.

"Okay, the four horses are ready." Asuna took a breath and wiped the sweat off her face.

After killing the Kaidan mercenary, the opponent's horse was naturally ownerless, and it must be occupied by a virtuous person.

"Then follow the original plan and move towards the Mongliu Cave."

Rock held the map of Nimgufu in his hand, a big sword on his back, and a flail on his waist. These were the gains he obtained in the ruins in front of the level.

In the middle of the ruins was the original of part of Nimgufu's map, which they could copy. On both sides of the ruins, there is a weapon, one is called "King's Great Sword" and the other is called "Flail".

Rock is not afraid of any weapon, no matter what type of weapon he wants to use.

Because he can master the war ash attached to the weapon by himself with his game talent.

For example, the King's Great Sword has the war ash of "Archery (Upward Chop)". After ordinary players have this weapon, they can use the war ash of "Archery Upward Chop".

But if the player's body cannot remember the experience of being driven by the weapon, then after losing this weapon, he will not use the war ash of "Archery Upward Chop".

On the contrary, if you can learn it, then every weapon is equivalent to the best teacher.

In addition, Rock and his team also obtained "War Ash: Storm Foot", which belongs to the high-quality war ash, which is also obtained from the ruins before the level.

The effect is to step on the ground with force, causing a momentary storm around you.

If there is a blacksmith, you can engrave the storm foot on all melee weapons at the blacksmith.

At that time, Rock only needs to use a weapon engraved with the Storm Foot combat skill to learn how to use the Storm Foot by himself.

"Let's go! It's time to outflank!" Rock rode his horse and wielded the King's Army Great Sword, while killing the two Kaidan mercenaries beside him, he shouted and moved forward.

"Get off, Rock." Kirito understood immediately, his face slightly red, but he hurriedly drove his horse to keep up with Rock's pace.

After having their own "Toret", the four people's forward pace was obviously accelerated.

Rushing on the road at a faster speed, they arrived at the entrance of the Mengliu Cave in a shorter time than planned.

"What a hidden cave, it's hard to notice when passing by. If I become a thief in the future, I will definitely hide here." Klein complained.

There are really thieves hiding here.

Rock got off the horse and suddenly thought of something: "Kirito, have you encountered NPC invasion here?"

"No, I walked here during the internal test, but I didn't notice the cave, and I wasn't invaded by NPC." In fact, Kirito wanted to ask why he was invaded by NPC.

He was somewhat curious about what progress Rock had made during the internal test.

"That's good. It seems that the invasion is quite random." Rock let the horse go and began to write and draw on the ground.

"What are you writing?" Asuna came forward curiously.

"Advice."

[There is a cave ahead. If there is a giant...]

"Tsk tsk."

"Head down."

"Genius!" Klein exclaimed!

Then, under the gaze of Asuna and Kirito, he began to change his words with sweat dripping down his back: "... but it's still a bit vulgar."

You know nothing!

Rock bore the contemptuous gazes of Asuna and Kirito with an expressionless face.

In the world of the Ring of Magic, when the advice is praised or criticized, it can restore a certain amount of its own health. This setting that has benefits regardless of good or bad, although it tests human nature, is indeed a feature that the Ring of Magic cannot miss.

Moreover, after Rock's own experiments, this setting of restoring health does not seem to have been completely eliminated.

But the restored health is stuck.

It can't be infinitely restored like in the previous life, and there is almost no loophole for players to exploit.

However, Rock is more concerned about another point.

That is, the advice will still appear to players in other worlds.

If... Rock is talking about if, if there are really players from other worlds, and the other party has not yet realized that this is a multi-world competition...

Then the other party's evaluation of the advice can indirectly explain the other party's current progress.

Although there are people who ignore the advice, or the possibility that players in this world like it, after all, Rock feels that he has to use everything he can to survive in this world, so it is okay to leave a piece of advice to test it.

In order to attract more attention, the more pornographic jokes and deceptive advice, the better.

However, the number of advice that each player can write is limited, and new advice will replace the old one, so Rock will only choose to leave advice at some important map points as a test.

"Really... Why do you leave such advice?!" Kirito scratched his head frantically, he obviously admired Rock so much.

The man I admired with great difficulty turned out to be a low-class man.

"Under your excellent appearance, I didn't expect that you have a perverted heart." Asuna pretended to sigh.

"Ahem, I still think it's very creative..."

The three were still torturing Rock, joking and laughing as if they were relieving each other's stress as usual.

Suddenly - in Rock's perspective, the number of good reviews jumped silently.

Such a fast like...

Rock's pupils suddenly shrank, and he didn't even expect it to be so fast.

And in front of Kirito and others... the total number of reviews for this advice changed from 0 to 1, and they couldn't see whether it was a good or bad review.

"Wait, is this plus one?" Asuna looked at the advice in a daze.

The three were silent.

No longer joking like before.

Kirito was silent, and he finally understood Rock's intention.

Klein panicked: "We should be progressing quickly, right? This place is also very hidden, right? And there are no other players around us..."

"Klein, don't panic."

Rock quickly stood up, his face calm: "There are so many gaming geniuses in the world, it's normal for someone to progress close to us."

This is not Sword Art Online with only 10,000 players. Rock didn't know how many players couldn't log out on the first day.

But he knew that the so-called geniuses who are one in a million are not rare in the world.

He has Asuna and Kirito by his side, so it is not surprising that a player with both luck and talent appears in other worlds.

"Let's go."

Rock smiled and walked forward.

Even if someone can find this place like them, Rock is not very worried, because the NPC inside is a weirdo.

Rock and his four companions lowered their bodies and walked into the cave silently, lighting up the blessing point of Mengliu Cave.

"There will be a bell cordon inside. When the line is touched, the bell will ring, alerting the enemies inside. We have to walk along the wall."

This is not a difficult task. After walking for more than half a month, the four people have practiced basic stealth skills with Rock.

Following the bushes and walls, the four people bypassed the monsters outside.

On the way, Klein was surprised to find that there was actually a group of robbers and thieves hiding here.

Rock and his companions successfully arrived at the "BOSS Fog Gate".

The three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After passing through the fog gate, the boss battle will be triggered. This is not surprising, and they all know it.

"Let's go!" Kirito immediately stepped forward.

"Wait, Kirito! You'd better be careful this time." Rock said to Kirito with a smile.

Me?

Kirito pointed at himself.

Shouldn't you say this to Klein? I am the most reliable one on weekdays!

Feeling that he was underestimated, Kirito's cheeks swelled with anger.

"I mean, don't kill the boss..."

Huh?

The three were stunned.

This is not a game, no, it is indeed a game, but...

There are usually life and death crises everywhere here, and you have to be careful even if a dog passes by. Now the fog gate is right in front of you, which means that there must be a boss inside, and it must be a ruthless person. You actually told me that I must show mercy?

"Will the boss show mercy to us?" Kirito seemed to have figured something out and asked carefully.

"Not at all. If we are not as strong as him, he will definitely kill us."

Okay! Sure enough!

Kirito sighed. He was a little skeptical that anyone could really complete this side quest in a life-and-death game.

"Let's go, go in first." Rock pushed the three people, and they suddenly entered the fog gate.

To the three people's surprise, there was nothing here, no monsters at all, but only a treasure chest in the distance.

"Is it a treasure chest monster?" Kirito was alert.

Rock patted his shoulder and asked him to move aside, then walked forward and slowly opened the treasure chest - there was only a set of cloth clothes inside.

"Oh oh oh!!"

"Want to sneak away from others' things?"

A mean voice suddenly came from behind Rock and the other four.
