In the simple church, the two sides who had just separated were once again gathered.

"So, is there no news about Yui in this church?" Asuna said with a complicated expression as she stroked Yui's soft hair.

"Well, Miss Yulier is a cadre specializing in the 'army' who is responsible for handling this matter, and she has no relevant information." Kirito said, introducing the identity of the silver-haired woman around her to Lu Ming and Asuna.

"Hello, I am Yulier of the 'army'." The woman bowed politely.

But Asuna casts distrustful eyes on her. From the man just now, she has learned about the evil deeds of the "army" in the [City Town].

As a member of the "army", naturally no one present knew better than her how bad the reputation of the "army" is. Faced with Asuna's distrustful gaze, she could only smile bitterly.

"Although we are unwilling to admit it, our cadres do have a lot of responsibilities for this, but all of this is caused by the King of Tooth."

The name Tooth King attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Was that guy forced to resign from his position as president on the 25th floor because of a major command error?"

The guy who pointed his finger at the closed beta player as soon as he appeared, which made him very distressed for a long time, but he rarely had any intersection after the 25th floor. Unexpectedly, the other party still had such great influence.

"What about the president of the guild? If I remember correctly, I should be called Xinka. Why didn't he stop it earlier?" Lu Ming's eyes looked directly at Yulier, which put a lot of pressure on her.

"He was deceived by the King of Tooth and trapped in the maze." Yurier turned her head and felt a little ashamed. As the president of the guild, she was deceived without any warning. If it spread, she would only be ridiculed.

But she was even more worried about Sinka's safety, and she still plucked up the courage to speak, "Although I am very ashamed, I really don't know who should trust within the 'army' now. If possible, please help me."

Looking at Yurier's helpless look, Asuna, who was originally a little angry, softened her heart: "If it's something that can be done, then we are willing to help, but we must first make sure that what you said is true..."

Although it is very sad, you cannot easily believe what others say in SAO. What you heard this time may also be a conspiracy to lure them into the circle and persecute them.

Usually, if you have sufficient knowledge of the game, you can find flaws from the words of the liar, but unfortunately, everyone present has no way to understand the news about the "army".

"This is for granted, but..." Yurier lowered her head slightly, "I felt crazy when I thought that Xinka's name on the Black Iron Palace [Monument of Life] could be engraved with a horizontal line at any time."

"No problem, she shouldn't be lying." Seeing the hesitation of others, Lu Ming spoke lightly and explained: "I have a special response to other people's malice."

"Since that's the case, Yui may have to go to find your friend one day later." Asuna gently stroked Yui's shiny black hair and whispered in a low voice.

After seeing Yui smile and nodding vigorously, Asuna said to Yurier with a smile: "Lu Ming and I agree to your request, as for Kirito..."

"I have no problem, because I also know the feeling of wanting to save important people..." Kirito said, holding Yuki's hand beside him.

Yuri's sky blue eyes were filled with tears, and she lowered her head deeply, "Thank you... Thank you..."

......

Under the guidance of Lier, everyone walked quickly on the street. The faint sunlight in early winter passed through the dark street trees dyed with dark streets, dragging out a shallow shadow on the stone floor, making the street look even colder.

The final decision was made to go to the maze was five people.

Yurier, who is responsible for leading the way, Lu Ming, Asuna, Kirito, and Yui, who is responsible for acting cute, means that she is lucky enough to stay in the church. If an accident occurs in a team, she will be the only opportunity for everyone to ask for help from the outside world.

As for Yui, she wanted Yuki to take it with her for the time being, but she had always strongly asked to be together. Considering Lu Ming's true strength, Asuna still agreed to the request.

"By the way, which floor is the maze we are going to?" Kirito said to Yurier who was walking in front.

"It's here." Yurier's answer was simple, "In the middle of [First Town], there is a big maze. Sinka should be in the deepest part of there..."

"Really or not?" Kirito said in surprise, "There was no such thing during the closed test!"

"The entrance to that maze is in the Black Iron Palace, which is the underground of the military base camp. It may be the type that has been open with the progress of the upper level's strategy. Sinka, of course, and I, have been kept in the dark..."

Speaking of this, Yulier's body was trembling with anger. Although she had always had something to do with the King of Tooth, she didn't expect the other party to do this.

Yurier was silent for a moment and continued to speak: "The difficulty of the maze is about the sixtieth level. Although in terms of level, it is a monster that I can defeat one-on-one, but I can't fight continuously."

"The sixtieth floor should be no problem."

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief. The security level of the maze on the sixtieth level was 70, and he has now exceeded 90. In addition, Asuna, who is not inferior to him and Lu Ming, can successfully break through the maze even if he needs to protect Yui.

Seeing Kirito's expression, Yurier felt relieved, but she still reminded her, "From the players participating in the advance team, I saw a giant leader-level monster in the depths of the maze."

"Is the leader also on the sixtieth level? What kind of monster is he like?"

"It seems like a guy similar to a stone armored warrior."

"Ah, that's all right." Kirito completely relieved.

During this period of conversation, a huge building shining with black light appeared in front of it. It was the largest facility of [Start Town] [Black Iron Palace], and the list of all players [Monument of Life] was set up in the square behind the gate.

"The areas that extend deeper into the [Black Iron Palace] are almost all occupied by the 'army', so we need to go around from behind." Yurier explained.

Everyone continued to advance along the towering city wall and the deep ditches surrounding the city wall. After a few minutes, Liere stood at a staircase descending from the road towards the water surface of the ditches, but if you look closely, you will find that there is an entrance to a dark road on the right side of the front of the stairs.

“We’re here…”
