Planting the World Tree From Pirates

Chapter 320 Newspapers and Calls for Help

Some people say that the most beautiful thing is not the end, but the scenery along the way.

Some people say that they take the opposite train to see the scenery they have never seen before.

And this is what travel is all about.

These poetic sentences, of course, make sense.

However, Makino feels that they are not very suitable for him now.

After all, it is a "big test" about fate, and every minute and every second is very important.

Therefore, for the past three months, Makino counted against every second.

Diligence is rewarded, and hard work pays off.

The Wings of Freedom has also become the most powerful guild in SAO!

But extremes turn against each other, which also makes the members of the Wings of Freedom Guild feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Makino is on vacation!

Of course no one can force him, but Muye can't completely ignore the opinions of everyone in Wings of Freedom.

The combination of work and rest is still very important!

After all, the exam belongs to him alone, and his life belongs to everyone!

From the twenty-fourth floor Panareze went backwards, and first came to the twenty-third floor.

Compared with the twenty-fourth floor, the climate conditions on the twenty-third floor are completely different.

Although it was only a layer apart, it was like entering a new world.

Here, I have to mention the climate setting of Aincrad.

The climate of Aincrad is very different from the climate of the outside world, which is dominated by the rotation of the four seasons.

The climate of Aincrad is mainly influenced by the environment of each layer and the random number of dates.

Aincrad is a fantasy world, and the theme of each floor is very different.

For example, a town belonging to the night elves does not receive sunlight even during the day.

Although the temperature will also change with spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is always shrouded in night.

On the floor with the theme of [Flower Garden], the temperature is suitable all year round and flowers are everywhere.

On the 23rd floor, there is a wild scene, mainly the gathering place of the rock golem family.

The scenery is actually a kind of thick primitive and rough beauty, but there are really not many people who can seriously appreciate it.

Because, the rock golems on this layer are very good leveling wild monsters.

Those who came to this floor were mostly devoted to the great cause of fighting monsters and leveling up.

Makino did not stay, and appeared on the twenty-second floor directly through the transfer door.

Different from the primitive roughness on the 23rd floor, the scenery on the 22nd floor is really beautiful.

The area of this layer is quite wide, in terms of diameter, it should be more than eight kilometers.

Evergreen forests and numerous lakes scattered all over the land occupy most of the land. There is a huge lake in the center, the main street area "Goral" village on the south bank, and the labyrinth area on the north bank.

The rest of the place is full of beautiful coniferous forests.

When he came to [Golaer] village, Makino suddenly remembered.

This should be in the original,

The floor where Asuna and Kirito's "marriage room" [Forest House] is located.

The two are here and have a daughter "Yuyi" together.

However, the village is now empty, and the number of NPCs is very rare.

As for the [Forest House], no one cares.

In this regard, Makino was quite unhappy.

There is a feeling of "one person is full of dog food"!

No one showed affection, but he ate a full stomach of dog food, and there was probably no one except Muye.

After such a bad experience, Makino was even more unhappy about this sudden vacation.

Once people are busy, it is easy to find the north.

But if you suddenly get idle and have a lot of time, it is easy to become at a loss.

It has to be said that humans are really complex creatures.

"Teleportation! Eleventh floor, Tafto!"

Following Muye's words, the teleportation monument, that is, the transfer door, flashed light spots one by one, wrapping Muye.

When Makino opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the town on the eleventh floor.

Different from other desolate floors specially designed for leveling, the eleventh floor is specially designed for society.

On this floor, the town area is very large, there are many NPCs, hotels, restaurants, iron shops, and clothing stores.

Unlike the Raiders team that climbed to the 24th floor like lightning, Tafto on the eleventh floor is now the floor where most players live.

As soon as Shi arrived here, Muye was taken aback by the red dust and fireworks here.

It's such a lively town.

Walking on the stone streets of the town, you can see all kinds of people everywhere.

Although many of them are NPCs, they still give Makino a sense of returning to human society.

"Sell the newspaper!"

"The newspaper is sold!"

"There are the latest newspapers for sale, the latest news from the strategy team, SAO's strongest guild, the Wings of Freedom broke down on the 25th floor and was forced to return from the 25th floor!"

Hearing the "newsboy"'s selling voice, Muye was particularly surprised.

Newspapers, it's not something that was originally in the SAO world.

Muye didn't expect that there were players who even made things like newspapers.

However, the words shouted by the newsboy made Muye extremely speechless.

What is the halberd of the Wings of Freedom being broken on the 25th floor?

It was as if the Wings of Freedom were wiped out!

Really alarmist!

Who compiled the newspaper? This is from the UC shock department, right?

However, this alarmist big news still attracted a large number of players to buy it.

The Wings of Freedom Guild, now the strongest guild in SAO, is the hope to conquer the entire game.

The Wings of Freedom is broken... It's not easy for everyone to care!

In just a few minutes, twenty or thirty copies of the newspaper were sold.

Don't underestimate this small newspaper, Makino has observed that each newspaper sells for 50 kel, which is really not cheap.

50 kel, enough for all the expenses of a player for a day.

In the end, Makino also chose to buy one.

All you can see is a sketch, and the Wings of Freedom guild is downcast, as if it ate a dead child.

Although it's just a hand-painted illustration, everyone can understand for the first time... The Wings of Freedom has lost the battle!

If Makino didn't know the truth, at first glance at this newspaper, he would have thought that the elite of the Wings of Freedom Guild would be wiped out.

The point is, in this painting, aside from the Wings of Liberty guild logo, everyone else is either downcast, faces shrouded in shadow, or they don't show their faces at all...

Damn it!

Tabloid reporters should be killed!

However, stroking the material of the newspaper and looking at the printing on it, it is really well done.

When he saw the words "Weekly Argo" printed on the masthead, Makino didn't know, who made this newspaper?

Argo, that is, Argo, also known as "rat", is SAO's most famous intelligence dealer.

Unexpectedly, she went a step further in selling intelligence, and even came up with a very modern thing like a newspaper.

It has to be said that human intelligence is really no trivial matter.

From here, we can also see another possibility of the game SAO.

The world of SAO is not static, and the gameplay is not as simple as Kayaba Akihiko said.

Players are also able to create at the right scale!

Newspapers, in fact, are relatively simple, and there are no such things as photos at least.

Makino can also understand this.

SAO is, after all, a western fantasy world, and there are naturally no technological items such as cameras and video cameras.

However, the strategy team has actually obtained a lot of crystals now.

Not to mention other people, even Makino already has life recovery crystals, teleportation crystals, and recording crystals.

Of course, the variety is much more than that.

According to the color, there are nine kinds of crystals in total.

More partial, such as recording crystal.

In the original book, fortunately, through the recording crystal, he left a letter and a Christmas song to Kirito.

Crystals have a relatively low explosion rate.

In particular, restoring crystals and teleporting crystals can save lives.

Don't look at it in the original book, the teleportation crystal is useless every time it reaches the key point.

but.

In today's strategy group, all kinds of crystals are very precious.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as having a price without a market.

Although the newspaper is rough, the news on it is really a lot.

In addition to the news of the strategy group, there is also the news of some information on each floor, and the other is some gossip, which is very easy to see.

What surprised Makino the most was that there was even a light novel section in the newspaper, and it was a Japanese light novel that was serialized.

It tells the story of opening and hanging all the way to the 100th floor of Aincrad.

Due to space limitations, the serialization is only about 3000 words.

However, Makino watched with interest for a while.

He even saw a hint of familiarity from the male protagonist.

A little bit, Muye suddenly understood.

He said why there is a sense of familiarity, isn't he the prototype of this novel?

Not to mention his sword skills, he even prostituted his unparalleled appearance.

Who is the author of this novel?

To so blatantly infringe on his portrait rights, not only that, but also for commercial purposes.

Lawyer's letter warning!

However, the male protagonist based on his unparalleled beauty has a real sense of substitution.

Forget it, just forgive him!

Writing a novel is not easy!

Although many are chasing shadows, the appearance of newspapers is indeed of great significance.

After Makino read the newspaper, he clearly felt that the durability of the newspaper in his hand had decreased a lot.

It is estimated that after reading it a few times, the newspaper will be scrapped.

I have to say, this is very SAO!

The town is bustling, where players gather, about the new defeat of the Wings of Freedom, about the 25th floor strategy, has become the hottest topic among the people.

This news is undoubtedly a cold water for everyone, and it will inevitably hurt everyone's self-confidence.

However, whether it is Wings of Freedom or other raiding group guilds, the prestige accumulated over this period of time is still very high.

Along the way, Muye even heard someone say more than once, "Master Muye will definitely be able to lead the Wings of Freedom to overcome difficulties" and so on.

There are even many people who spontaneously pray for the Raiders team.

Feeling all this silently, all kinds of tastes can't help but come to my heart.

The strategy team has been in contact for a long time, and it is inevitable that Makino has some illusions.

Everyone is good at the game, everyone is smart, everyone is tough...

but.

In fact, the vast majority are these players who are not good at playing games.

The strategy team was a little frustrated and a little turbulent, and the blow to their confidence was unpredictable.

to this.

Makino suddenly felt that Diabel had been insisting on being slower and more steady, maybe it was right!

The broad stone road beneath my feet turned into a sheep's intestine path.

It turned out that he had walked out of the town of Taft before he knew it.

After a little recognition, Makino understood.
