Level 1, The Town of the Beginning.

It has always been the largest city in Al Grande, with almost all the necessary functions, whether it is a weapon shop, a prop shop, a grocery store, or any other variety of stores, all of which are more abundant than other towns, and the prices are quite cheap, and there are many hotels and other businesses, if you only think about efficiency, it is undoubtedly the most suitable base for this place.

However, there are very few high-level players who will stay in the Beginning Town.

There are three reasons for this.

One is that although the functions here are complete, they are almost all basic, and they are not quite friendly to high-level players who pursue high performance and efficiency.

One is that this place has long been occupied by the "Ayngrunt Liberation Army" and has become the base of the "army", so that players do not want to step into other people's territory and let others slaughter it.

The other thing is that if you just stand here and look up at the sky, you will remember what happened at that time anyway.

Calling himself Akihiko Kayaba, he announced to all players that the world had become a stage for a game of death, and a red cloak like a god of death appeared in mid-air.

For this reason, although there are many players entrenched here, all of them are "military" or low-level players, and high-level players rarely move here.

Compared to the 22nd floor of Golard, this place is naturally not so deserted, and you can occasionally see NPCs walking around the road, and even players.

These players are undoubtedly members of the Ayn Grant Liberation Army.

I don't know if it's to manage the largest and most entrenched town, or to show off your rights, in the town of Initiation, there will be groups of "army" players in bronze armor patrolling almost every night, rendering the entire town of Initiation as a military stronghold, giving people a sense of fortification.

In particular, the Shiftgate Plaza in the Town of Origin is the only way for players from the other floors to get here, and players from the Army often patrol through it.

It's also quite spacious, and when it started operating two years ago, it even accommodated a full 10,000 players, allowing them to log in here and start playing.

"Zheng!"

In the bright light, Rogen and Asuna arrived here, and returned to the largest city of Ayngrant.

"The Town of the Beginning......

Looking at the familiar square in front of her, Asuna murmured as if she had a feeling.

Luo Zhen also looked at this square, as if he had just landed here two years ago, and the scene where a famous player took this place as a starting point and began his adventure in this world, his heart felt a lot.

It's a special place for all players, right?

After all, this is the first land that all players set foot on when they come to this world, and it is also the place where Akihiko Kayaba announces the gamification of SAO's death.

Luo Zhen and Asuna looked at this place silently for a while, and then they cheered up one after another.

"Where's Yui?"

Asuna cleaned up her mood and hurriedly looked for Yui.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

Butterflies and Butterflies were the first to detect their targets, and they let out a cry and flew in one direction.

Luo Zhenxun looked for prestige, and then was slightly stunned.

"Black Iron Palace?"

In the direction of the butterflies and butterflies was a huge building that shone with a black light on the opposite side of the square.

It was the largest facility in the town of Beginnings———— "Black Iron Palace".

When you enter the gate, you will see a stone tablet with a roster of players———— "Monument of Life".

On this stele, the names of all SAO players are engraved on it, and if they die, they are ruthlessly crossed out.

It's just that this place has been occupied by the "army", so there are a few players standing guard at the door.

In normal times, there are people standing guard here, but there are only two at most, announcing that this is the property of the "army", and only when you go deeper will you see more members of the "army".

But now, there are a full six players standing guard in front of the Black Iron Palace, and the guards are not unguarded.

Obviously, after the events of Kladir, the Tooth King kept his promise and guarded the Black Iron Palace more strictly.

However, at this moment, in front of the Black Iron Palace, a girl in a white dress walked in the direction of the Black Iron Palace.

"Yui!"

Asuna called out the girl's name.

Who else but Yui?

Asuna even wanted to rush forward.

However, the perceptive Luo Zhen discovered one thing.

"Wait a minute!"

Luo Zhen then pressed Asuna's shoulder to stop her from stepping forward.

"How... What's wrong? ”

Asuna was surprised and anxious.

But this time, Luo Zhen didn't have the strength to comfort Asuna.

"Something is wrong." Luo Zhen stared at Yui tightly, and said as if stunned: "Yui she..."

"Yui, what's wrong with her?" Asuna asked, looking in Yui's direction as well.

Immediately afterward, Asuna was also stunned.

Because, Asuna saw the incredible scene with her own eyes.

"Jingle bell..."

With a bell-like sound, Yui calls up the main menu, clicks on the "Settings" option, and makes a choice.

Under such circumstances, Yui's body seemed to turn into a chaotic signal, and her body flashed with a "rustling" sound.

Yui walked straight to the Black Iron Palace.

The six players standing guard in front of the Black Iron Palace acted as if they hadn't seen anything, allowing Yui to pass by them.

"This ......"

Asuna was completely stunned.

Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

On the contrary, it was the color butterfly and the flower butterfly, as if they hadn't noticed anything abnormal, and they made urging voices towards Luo Zhen and Asuna, who were still standing in place.

"Luo Zhen ......"

Asuna seemed to lose her cool because of this sudden situation, and could only look at Luo Zhen helplessly and panickedly.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen took a deep breath.

"Let's follow, Asuna."

Luo Zhen said with a rather serious expression.

"Use the 'Concealment' skill to sneak up and don't be discovered by the 'Army' people."

Luo Zhen made such a suggestion.

Asuna wanted to ask why, but seeing Luo Zhen's serious expression, she immediately closed her mouth.

"I see."

In the end, Asuna chose to listen to Rogen.

Although she didn't know what Luo Zhen was going to do, Asuna knew that as long as she listened to Luo Zhen, she would be sure.

"Then let's go."

Luo Zhen gave a brief order, and gave an order to the two demons of the color butterfly and the flower butterfly.

"You also enter the Demon Crystal."

In this way, concealment can be completed.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

Rainbow Butterfly and Flower Butterfly rarely expressed dissatisfaction, and it seemed that they really didn't want to enter the magic crystal, but wanted to keep up with Yui.

However, the two demons still did not choose to disobey Luo Zhen after all, and could only come back helplessly and dejected.

"Don't worry." Luo Zhen said to the two demons: "I'll bring Yui back." ”

Hearing Luo Zhen's promise, the spirit of Cai Butterfly and Hua Die became a lot better.

Immediately, the two envoys were put away by Luo Zhen and disappeared in place.

Immediately, Luo Zhen and Asuna activated the [Concealment" skill together and sneaked in the direction of the Black Iron Palace.

At night, the Black Iron Palace is like a cave with fierce beasts, exuding the smell of wind and rain.
