I Will Rewrite Your Fate

"In the end what happened....."

This was the first thought that came to mind when Paris and Asuna returned to Huttonmar. Because this city was full of vitality and vitality before they left, it seemed like a different look at this time.

Pedestrians in the streets are extremely rare, and even the number of adventurers who should go back and forth have decreased a lot. People seem to have lost their smiles.

Instead, fear and worry.

"What happened, this is Huttonmar."

Yes, this is Huttonmar, the capital of the Duchy of Belmar! However, the capital has actually become this way.

"Asuna, you first go back to see the old man, I went back to the slum to ask what happened."

"...Paris, look at the bulletin board."

"Bulletin Board?"

Following Asuna's words, Paris looked at the bulletin board posted at the entrance of the city, her pupils instantly shrinking into needles.

Because what caught your eye was four big blood-red characters.

[Urgent call! 】

——————————

"You are back..."

Feeling the breath of an acquaintance through the fluctuations, G.S.D, who was sitting cross-legged in the gym, stopped grinding the weapon in his hand: "If you come back later, I'm afraid you won't see me."

"Old man...you are..."

"Go take a look."

G.S.D smiled and said softly: "Looking at your expressions, you should know what happened recently."

"In the commercial city of Nosmar, an unknown and highly contagious disease has appeared." Paris whispered: "The investigation team sent by the Principality never survived."

"Well, this is information for the public. There are also some information from Ye Luzi that you don't know."

Retracting the scimitar in his hand into the weapon case, G.S.D said calmly.

"In order to investigate the cause, some mechanics specially created flying robots for reconnaissance to find out. However, even if it is a robot, there is no way to find the cause of the disease."

"The deeper you go, the more rusty Madara will appear on the robot, and it will crash. But thanks to these mechanics, we have more information."

"The commercial city Nosmar has become a dead city. All the people living in it have disappeared."

"!!!"

The chill couldn't stop coming out of my heart. The throat became extremely dry. The pretty face became extremely pale. Especially Asuna, almost didn't stand up. Because, she stayed in Northmar for a while.

Don't forget, the place where she appeared on the Arad continent was a small remote village called Lesephine near Northmar. With the help of some kind-hearted people, she went from Lesephine to Northmar, and then successfully arrived at Huttonmar.

"Northmar.... There are no more people alive..."

"Have."

G.S.D nodded slightly: "But it's a pity, Asuna. It is not a resident who is active in Northmar, but a gang called the ‘crazy thieves’ group."

"This gang possesses a unique bio-fusion technology. Perhaps it is because of this technology that they can operate in Northmar. Moreover, because of this unknown disease, many creatures have been upgraded. They have become extremely brutal and aggressive. sex."

"Even some stone statues have become monsters that attack people because of this special disease."

"The current Northmar is the carnival scene of monsters and crazy thieves. The money in the city is probably being transferred by thieves one after another."

"But one thing is certain, the source of the disease is not Northmar, but deeper. But where it is, you can only find out after personal investigation.""........."

Asuna bit her lip. Even if she didn't want to believe it anymore, she understood that the people she knew before and helped her are probably no longer there...

"Asuna..."

"Master G.S.D." Lan frowned and asked: "In the information just now, there is something very strange."

"You said that all the people living in Northmar have disappeared. Why use the word disappear instead of death?"

"This is also something that many people find strange."

G.S.D’s tone was also full of puzzlement: “Because there is no corpse in the entire city. There are only demonized stone statues flying around, upgraded creatures, members of the crazy thieves group and hunting dogs.”

"Even the members of the investigation team sent by the Principality were not found."

"On the whole, this matter is full of weirdness and unknowns. That's why I am going to check it out."

"Old man, don't go."

Paris suddenly said: "Since it is related to disease and drugs, it should be when Street Fighter is on the stage. I'll go and see, you just stay here honestly."

"Even if your volatility is severe, it can't stop the virus from entering, can it? Besides, dealing with a small character like the crazy thieves group will make you appear at a low price."

"Paris, are you going?"

"It's not just Paris, I want to go too."

"Asuna, don't make trouble." Paris frowned: "This is not a joke."

"I have no plans to make a joke."

Asuna squeezed the hilt of the rapier around her waist, and said seriously: "In any case, I have to check it out and find those who have helped me."

"Even if the corpse is found in the end. I have to take their ashes out and bury them. This is the only thing I can do for them and give them back."

"Since Asuna is going, then we can only follow."

"Well, I watched my friend go to the dangerous place without doing anything. This kind of thing happened once is enough."

"Yuki... Ran..."

"And me, I want to go too!"

"Tweet!!

Silica and Pina, who was lying on her head, also said at the same time: "I have been trained by a master, and I also have a higher resistance to toxicity than ordinary job changers. In addition, Pina can also help a lot. Busy."

"It can do detoxification and treatment."

"Tweet!"

"Then, it's settled." Paris was never a hypocritical person: "Old man, leave the investigation to us. Just stay here."

"Of course, if there is a situation that must rely on you, I won't hold on to it."

"...... That's fine."

After thinking about it for a while, G.S.D nodded: "Then, you will rest first today. Tomorrow, go to the queen's messenger Borken. He will tell you how to act."

"Also, Asuna, Yuuki. The task I arranged for you before you leave, if it is not completed, I will not let you pass."

——————————

Just as G.S.D began to assess the results of Asuna and Yuuki, not far from Huttonmar, Barn, Kirito and others were taking a rest in a resting place.

Originally, they should have entered the city immediately. But Barn suddenly received an emergency communication from the imperial capital.

So under the order of Barn, he began to rest and wait in place.

"There is Huttonmar."

Looking at the white and prosperous city in the distance, Kirito couldn't help but sighed: "It looks like he is not lost to Vetarun at all."

"What are you talking about for granted."

Liz couldn't help but blankly glanced at Kirito: "This is the capital of Belmar."

"Brother, I remember when we first arrived at Su Nan, you seemed to have said something like this." Lifa said with a chuckle.

"Ahahaha, isn't it?"

Touching the back of his head, Kirito smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Bath, whose expression became more and more serious not far away.

The other three also followed Kirito's gaze and looked over.

"It seems to be talking about a very important thing." Klein muttered, "I don't know what it is."

"Klein..."

Kirito said helplessly: "How many times have I told you along the way, don't whisper. The head of Barn is the awakened swordsman. No matter how quietly you whisper, he can also hear him."

"Sword Saint..."

Klein touched his beard: "Looking at someone of the same age as me, who has achieved such a great achievement. It always feels like a gap..."

"Same... same age..."

Lifa and Liz looked at Klein, who was the same as the uncle, and then at the white Barn in the distance, and sighed unanimously.

"Yes, the gap is really big."

"Hey, I'm not talking about this gap!"

"It's very lively."

Barn’s faint voice came to the ears of the four: "But I hope to hear the next news, I hope you can maintain this lively and happy mentality."

"Uh....."

"Really."

Looking at Klein who had come down, Kirito shook his head helplessly, then stood up and asked seriously.

"Captain Barn, is there any task?"

"Yes."

Barn glanced at the four of them. The rookies who were still in the scope of dragging oil bottles had grown up completely after just one year. This growth rate can only be described as shocking.

However, even with such a big growth, this mission is quite dangerous for them, and maybe a few people will die.

But the task is the task.

"Order from the Empire, let us immediately set off for investigation in the commercial city of Nosmar north of Huttonmar. According to the intelligence of the Empire, a disease broke out in Nosmar a month ago, and no investigator from the Principality survived. "

"The empire believes that this is likely to be caused by the apostle, and it is also a good opportunity for us to obtain intelligence from the principality. Therefore, it gave us an order."

"disease......"

Hearing these two words, Kirito's eyes all appeared a little solemn. Liz couldn't help asking even more.

"Mr. Barn, this is a very dangerous thing? Is it really okay to just let a few of us investigate such a dangerous thing?"

"An order is an order." Barn said coldly: "As a member of the Imperial Knights and cultivated by the empire, then Kirito and Lifa have an obligation to contribute to the empire."

"Even if you have to sacrifice your life."

"But you and Klein don't have this obligation, so if you want to leave, just leave now.""How can this be done!"

"All right, Liz."

Gently pulling Liz behind him, Kirito smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Barn, can't I go with you for this task? One less Lifa, shouldn't it be a big deal, right?"

"elder brother!"

"...No problem." After Wei Wei thought about it for a few seconds, Barn nodded: "If Lifa wants to quit, you can wait in Huttonmar."

"Thank you, leader."

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the other three.

"Then, I will go with Captain Barn. Liz and Lifa, you will wait for me in Huttonmar. Klein, please take care of them."

"What a joke! I want to go too! How can I leave my brother alone."

"Xiao Zhi, obedient."

"I do not want!"

Lifa raised his eyebrows: "I am not dragging the oil bottle, and I have the strength to not lose to my brother! Moreover, the Barn leader said, if I want to quit. This matter is not caused by your brother. The decision is made by me!"

"Xiao Zhi, you!"

"Hey hey, what are you doing, don't quarrel." Klein scratched his head to separate Lifa and Kirito, and said with a smile: "Also, boss Kirito, you are too far-sighted."

"Do you think Liz and I might be sitting in the city waiting for you to come back?"

"that is."

Liz stuck her waist and said, "Don't underestimate us!"

"...Whatever you do."

Kirito scratched his hair irritably, then sighed deeply.

"Did you discuss it?"

Seeing that the four people had come to a result, Barn took out four bottles of light blue alchemy potion from the space bag: "This is a high-level antidote potion, very precious. So don't use it lightly until your life is critical."

"Don't talk about expenses, these will be reimbursed by the empire after I return. So, if you want to save me money with your lives, I won't say much."

"Yes, thank you team leader."

They have long been accustomed to Barn's lukewarm way of speaking. Although he said that, he would still give him the care he should give.

Just like now, he could not give himself such a precious antidote potion and keep it for himself. But Barn, didn't do that. To put it simply, Barn is still a cold-hearted person when certain issues are not involved.

It's just that the speech is a bit unpleasant.

"If you don't go, Kirito and I will have three bottles of alchemy potion, and the safety factor will be higher."

"......"

"........."

".............."

Lifa, who was just about to put the alchemy potion into the space bag, suddenly froze in their movements, and then tacitly regarded them as not hearing them. Such annoying things that weren't necessary to say in the first place are the biggest fault of Barn.

"Well, since you have decided to go together, then take this list and go to Huttonmar to help purchase."

Handing Liz and Klein a note and a bag of gold coins, Barn said lightly.

"The three of us are imperial knights. Going to Huttonmar will arouse the hostility and attention of the local residents. So, you two will help run off. After purchasing, you can take care of the rest of the money."

"Take a break today, and leave for Northmar tomorrow."
