"Lu Ming, I'm going to deal with the guild's affairs. The bento I prepared for you is placed on the table."

With the slight sound of closing the door, Lu Ming opened his eyes in a daze.

It's a new day.

The heavy snow in the night made the vision white, and it was almost afternoon when Lu Ming and Kirito met in [Usco Village].

However, Kirito was energetic at this time and did not care about the passage of time. It seemed that he had achieved some transformation and felt that he was different.

But no matter what, the time of the task is limited.

The two immediately replenished consumables in the village and took on some tasks. Although it was fast enough, it was still dark.

Because the night was not conducive to fighting on the water, the two of them did not delay too much. They rode on the boat built by Kirito and continued to sail forward like a gliding on the calm water, and soon left the village.

Soon after, the tall cliffs standing on the left and right sides began to change their colors little by little. The surface like black basalt was carved with dense and slender parallel lines, which was like a carved work.

With the memory of the closed test and referring to the current map, Kirito chose to go left or right when facing the constant forks.

In about an hour, the valley began to turn into a dark one, and was blocked by a completely white wall.

"That's it, Bai Wu?" Lu Ming squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but think.

Kirito smiled mysteriously, "Be ready, we're coming."

Following Kirito's words, the ship crashed into the fog.

But soon, the thick fog dissipated directly like a deception, and the vision became widened in one breath.

This is a huge circular lake. Standing in the middle of the lake, it is a magnificent castle, or the city block is more appropriate.

From the large roof covered by thick snow, four spires of varying heights are raised, and the tips are hung with pennant flags. On the black cloth are heraldry crossings of horn flutes and scimitars.

This is the flag of the Dark Elves.

This is the first time Lu Ming has seen such a building up close. Although the castle is a scene that will appear in a fantasy game, now looking back, this may be the first time Ain Grande has appeared in the castle image.

The city blocks of the Dark Elves camp, the walls are piled up of white stones, and the steep roofs are covered with straw on gray stone slabs.

The orange light shines through countless arch windows, creating a sharp contrast with the blue darkness at night. The surroundings of the building are completely separated from the land. Next to the pier that extends straight forward from the main entrance, several black boats with ten-person seats are parked.

After stepping back onto the ground, a huge front door stood in front of it, tied up the bright and wide wooden boards with thick iron plates, and there were heavy armed guards holding axes of amazing lengths on both sides.

When I arrived at about five meters away from the gate...

"Stop!" the soldier on the right suddenly shouted loudly.

"This is not a place where human race can enter!" The soldiers on the left continued to shout, and the two of them crossed their axes and guns at the same time, blocking Lu Ming and Kirito.

While taking out the object that was previously materialized from his waist bag and holding it high, Kirito shouted loudly: "My name is Kirito! I want to meet the city lord!"

This is the introduction letter obtained from the mission during the third floor. With this token, they restored the axe and gun to vertical with a "clang". The next moment, the huge main door made a loud bang and opened to both sides.

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief because there were huge differences in the task process and the closed test, and he might encounter danger if he was not invited to help, he would not have stepped into this place so easily.

The vestibule of the city block is like a beautiful scenery like a famous painting.

The potted plants and hedges covered with snow, the cast iron fence shines under the light of the oil lamp, and the gate of the city can be seen deep in the passage without any footprints, but the scenery is so beautiful that it makes people hesitate whether to step on it.

Asuna might have been a little hesitant, but Lu Ming and Kirito didn't think so much. They just amaze, and then took evil steps ruthlessly, directly destroying this beauty.

Because they had already had a purpose, the two of them did not hesitate too much and walked directly into the castle gate.

Unlike the silence inside the city block, the inside of the castle is another scene.

In the center of the main hall with red velvet blankets, the marble fountain is shaking the shiny water surface. Deep in it is a large staircase and spacious passages on both sides.

The music of violin came everywhere, and the dark elves NPCs walked and talked freely.

The two people who had never seen the big scenes looked at each other and hesitated where to go, but soon someone cleared the siege for them.

"Kirato! Lu Ming!"

A clear and nostalgic sound rang in his ears, and a tall figure quickly approached, giving Kirito a big hug directly.

Kirito said with difficulty while enduring the other party’s strong hug: “Long time no see, Kizmel.”

After a while, Kizmel let go of Kirito and greeted Lu Ming with a smile.

Not to mention anything else, this gap can tell the distance between them.

This is not surprising. Lu Ming quit halfway, and only Kirito was on the mission.

The only thing that interested Lu Ming was that Kizmer's intelligence seemed to be higher, and perhaps one day, he might be the same as a real human.

"Kisimel, we are here to find the city lord. Can you take us there?" After a brief exchange of feelings, Kirito expressed the purpose of the trip.

"No problem, come with me." Kizmel obviously trusted Kirito very much and agreed to the request without any questions.

While passing by the soldiers, the three of them walked on the passage for a while, and finally turned left at the end.

After the small door close to the front, Kizmer quietly opened it.

When I came outside again, what I saw in front of me was that although it was not as magnificent as the vestibule, it had a certain mysterious atmosphere.

The thorny hedge with small black flowers blocks the way like a maze, making people unable to see ahead.

Under the blue and white light of the oil lamp, Kirito talked to Kizmel while walking on the snow-covered stone road.

Lu Ming walked behind silently, and couldn't help but worry about whether Kirito's harem would catch fire.

Kirito has a neutral face with a very pretty face, and has a good personality, which is very popular with a woman.

Fortunately, he is not very strong in character, so I wonder if he can suppress those girls who want to poach.

Kirito, who was walking in front of him, suddenly felt a little chill and couldn't help but shivered.

"What's wrong?" Kizmel asked with concern.

"It's nothing. It probably has been the temperature dropped. I'll just change one piece of clothing." As he said that, he pulled out the system interface and showed a coat.

It's still a black outfit, and the style is not even very different. I don't know why Kirito likes it so much.

A few minutes later.

After traveling through the maze of thorns, we came to a beautiful garden surrounded by majestic conifers. The trees were surrounded by tiled flower beds and bronze benches.
