"The combat power is more than double that of Mingming, which is quite unbelievable." Fei said to Argo, "But at that time our side was at a disadvantage, and the enemies were not all miscellaneous soldiers, and even some of the two sides could fight with just a few cooperation I am evenly matched. Kirito is like a soldier instead, but he also keenly realized that the reason for being at a disadvantage is that the commander is not good. Although there should be a highly respected commander, he cannot participate in the command because he is 'ill'."

"Then Tongzi finished the task of searching for medicine and curing diseases in a short time?" Argo asked according to the traditional routine of the game.

However, she guessed wrong, and Fei said with a speechless expression on the plot: "No, he used words to persuade the highly respected commander to command the battle to boost morale, so that the whole army was blessed with multiple buff skills, and the morale was greatly boosted. In fact , that guy was pretending to be sick, he was just depressed because something too shameful had happened--I was really cheered up by Kirito's words. Even so, it was not enough to completely reverse the situation of the battle, and Kirito repelled The enemy team sent to besiege our commander, used some log materials obtained in the past to make traps and destroyed some of the enemy's siege equipment in one go... In short, there is no chance for me to change back into a dragon shape. It's a pity that my paraphrase is still Pretty bland."

"No, I can imagine Tongzai's chaos. But it sounds like Tongzai mainly hinders the siege rather than killing the enemy. It should not be just a matter of lack of strength. He..."

Argo thought that Kirito didn't want to kill people, even if the target was an NPC.

However, Argo guessed that there is another reason for being a player as a matter of course, that is, once Fei seriously participates in the battle, the contribution to the battle must be great, and the experience points Kirito will be allocated must be very small. In fact, in the player mercenary system of sao, it seems In order to prevent production players who are capable of earning a lot of money from hiring combat npcs to help them out, a mechanism is set up to greatly reduce the player's experience and proficiency when the hired combat npc is stronger than the player.

Then they play puzzle games around them together.

During dinner, Fei asked casually: "Argo, do you know what task Kirito is doing? Since it's just by the way, there must be a new companion."

"This is the information I failed to collect, unless the puzzle-solving NPC can also become a companion... Wait, puzzle-solving... The local puzzle-solving masters are not... Hey, hey." Argo put down the tableware and stood up abruptly.

"What's wrong, is it a dangerous mission?"

"No, the task itself is not dangerous, it is better to say it is easy, but that is when there are no outsiders in the way. Some adventurers like us will blatantly rob and kill people in order to satisfy their own desires. The state of the battle and the rich lord passing outside the circle is very dangerous! I was negligent, because I knew this, so I didn’t consider doing that mission at the beginning. We have to catch up with Tongzi!”

"Do you want to stop his mission?"

"..." Argo hesitated for a moment,

Shaking his head, "We can't solve the puzzle game on the square. It would be a waste of his efforts to interrupt the mission. We follow secretly. When we meet someone who might kill people and rob money, we will stop him, beat him and arrest him... I hope we can chase him back." Got it."

"Then, it's good for you to show the way. I'll transform into a dragon and fly you over there. Although Argo, your running speed is probably faster than mine, but I can ignore all kinds of obstacles and terrain."

Argo shook his head: "I don't know what stage Tongzai has reached in the mission. This is not a single-line mission that moves between two points, and I don't know where possible gangsters will appear, so it's okay to take a shortcut and go to the front." Meaning, you can only follow the mission route to catch up."

She swallowed the cheese sandwich in a few mouthfuls, and drank the thick soup that she wanted to enjoy slowly. After taking a few mouthfuls of the majestic cake, she said, "Let's go."

………………………

Kirito took the task at the Lord's Mansion and started on the road.

The lord is a thin man named Cyron, who openly commissions adventurers who come to the city to lift the Puzzle Curse.

He said that the curse of the puzzle game was caused by the former lord. The former lord Pai Isagulus was obsessed with puzzle games. A traveler who visited him one day gave him a puzzle game. The golden magic cube at hand killed the traveler, Pai Isagulus went crazy, and disappeared without a trace holding the golden magic cube, and then the curse spread.

Combined with the appearance of the level boss on this floor, it looks like a golden magic cube. Most people think that it is the avatar.

Puzzlers everywhere are inconvenient, so Lord Sairon wants someone to save the city.

Considering the uniqueness of the current sao plot mission, it is unrealistic that no one has answered it for so long. It is not so much that it is better to say that other entrusted people have failed. The beta test players probably have no interest in participating in this mission. After all, this The point of the mission is to enjoy the puzzle-solving drama, there is no profit, and Sao only has one life today, so it is better to use the useful beta test information to kill more monsters and explore treasures if you have that time.

Because of this, Kirito does not want to bring teammates.

However, there are still a few players queuing behind Kirito, but this has nothing to do with Kirito.

To lift the curse, the first thing to do is to investigate the case. Basically, it takes a lot of time to find the relevant parties. The parties may not be at home, or go out to work or travel far away. Maybe even the job has been transferred. In short, one of the reasons why no beta testers are willing to accept it is very clear. Another reason is-

Kirito knows that the so-called traveler does not exist~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact, the former lord appointed his heir and did not appoint Sailong~lightnovelpub.net~ but his lover Saiyan, and the angry Sailong used the golden magic The cube smashed the former lord to death, and his lover Saiano couldn't bear to report, so he left without saying goodbye with the golden magic cube.

If the player entrusted by Sailong shows enough wisdom to get close to the truth in the process, Sailong will poison the player and shut him down in the underground maze of the lord's mansion, allowing the player to break through the underground maze by himself (with very little profit), and there are some untie The core of the curse.

Regardless of whether it can be solved or not, Saiano will rescue the player after the time limit is reached, and then go to break through the maze to release the curse after a proper dialogue-the maze is set to be a test left by the previous lord, but Sailong can't solve it by himself Only then did he make such a bad move.

In short, Kirito approached the truth with the shortest investigation route he knew, and went to another town, Sribas, to find the next clue-this city has pleasant scenery, rich food, no puzzle game curse, the villa of the former lord right here.

But Kirito wanted to make a quick decision, so he went straight to the villa without admiring the beautiful scenery and tasting food.

It's just that that person is really obsessed with puzzle games. The door lock of this villa is a combination lock similar to puzzle games.
