Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Chapter 27: The Three Brothers on the Grassland

The next day, the three of them came to SAO.

Kirito said to the two, "Today is our first official gathering. I suggest that the three of us formally become brothers, find a place to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and from now on work together to plan great things."

Jianxin and Li Shunsheng said, "That's great. That's exactly what we were thinking."

"When I was exploring alone before, I found a secluded place with very few people coming and going. I thought it was just right." Kenshin said.

Kirito responded, "That's a good idea, in that case, let's go together."

Then we did some shopping in the starting town and then set off.

Green Grassland, although there is a hunting ground here, the monster level is relatively low. Except for novice players, basically no one will come here, and even novice players will leave here soon. After all, novice players level up very quickly.

When the three men arrived here, there was no one around, so they could do what they wanted.

Kirito found a tall tree and used it as a mark to swear brotherhood.

When Kirito and Kenshin were hunting together, they defeated wild boars and wolves. Later, Kenshin hunted alone and defeated cattle monsters, from which meat dropped.

After discussion, each of them took out a portion and placed it under the tree.

Then take out the incense purchased in the starting town, and each of the three people holds three sticks. After lighting them, they kneel down in turn.

"Nian Kirito, Kenshin, and Li Shunsheng, although we have different surnames, we are willing to become brothers."

"As brothers, we should work together to help those in need."

"Go up to attack the BOSS, go down to kill the monsters."

"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day."

"The heavens and the earth, bear witness to this heart. If you betray your loyalty and forget your gratitude, you will be killed by both heaven and man!"

This concludes the oath.

The 16-year-old Kirito is the eldest brother, the 28-year-old Kenshin is the second brother, and the 20-year-old Li Shunsheng is the third brother.

Kirito is the richest man, and he would help his brothers in times of crisis, declaring to the outside world: I have considerable wealth.

The other two had no objection to this and were even willing to become his godfathers if possible.

However, since they had become brothers, they could not mess up their generations, so the matter was left unresolved.

Kenshin Himura is proficient in the Flying Sword Style and is the oldest among the three. Li Shunsheng has no objection to such a person being ranked second.

Finally, Kirito invited the two of them.

[Kirito invites you to join the guild 'Netherworld Prison']

Seeing the prompt box in front of him, Jianxin asked: "Brother Tong, what is this?"

"This is the guild I just created. From now on, we are the first three members of this guild. There may be more people joining the guild in the future. When that happens, you must guide the new members."

Kenshin spoke again, "No, Tong-ge, I want to ask why you gave the guild this name. It sounds weird."

"It's a little strange, but you'll get used to it after more exposure," Kirito explained.

"…All right."

Three people joined the Guild 'Netherworld Prison'. Their information is as follows:

Kazuto Kiritani: Kirito lv 15;

Himura Kenshin: Kenshin lv 13;

Li Shunsheng: Black level 1.

After checking the levels, Kirito sighed, "Alas, we are still far from being able to fight against the BOSS."

While he was thinking, Kenshin took out an item and asked Kirito to identify it.

Said: "Brother Tong, I defeated an elite mad bull monster a few days ago. This is the material it dropped. See if you can use it."

As he spoke, he handed over a material called 'Mad Bull Horn'.

Kirito took it and looked at it, then said in surprise, "This is a forging material. It can be used to create new equipment, and it looks like it's of very high quality."

Kenshin was delighted after hearing this: "Compared to my current weapon, which one is stronger?"

As he spoke, he drew out the 'Walker's Sword' from his waist.

Kirito just shook his head and said, "They are all dropped by the elite monsters on the first floor, so the difference should not be too big."

"Is that so?" Kenshin was slightly disappointed.

I thought I could get another powerful weapon, but it seems I was just wishful thinking.

Kirito asked Kenshin: "Ah Xin, how much of this material do you have?"

Jianxin opened his backpack and looked at it, then said, "There are about five or six pieces. I have been leveling in a place a few days ago. I have killed all the monsters in that place. But it seems that these things are not worth much."

"No, you are wrong. You already have weapons, but your third brother and I don't have any yet. If we can reforge these materials, our combat power will surely be greatly improved."

After hearing this, Jianxin suddenly realized: "I see, you can take all of these, they are of little use to me anyway."

Just like that, Kenshin provided the resources and Kirito provided the funds, and the three of them came to the blacksmith shop in the starting town again.

Kirito said, "Boss, we need to build three weapons."

"No problem." said the NPC boss.

Kenshin was a little confused: "Brother Tong, don't we only need two weapons?"

Kirito explained: "It's just a side job, so there's no problem making one more."

Since that was said, Kenshin didn't ask any more questions.

He then reported the detailed data of the three weapons, handed over the funds and materials to the boss, and the creation of the weapons officially began.

The first one is Kirito's weapon, named 'Guide'. It is black in color and the same length as the previous novice weapon, but the blade is sharper and heavier.

Kirito took out both the new and old weapons. He wanted to use the dual-wielding skill, but found that his level was too low and he didn't have such a skill, so he had to put the old sword back into his backpack.

The second one is Kenshin's weapon, simply called 'Reverse Blade'.

Originally, Kenshin didn't need this weapon, but Kirito asked his boss to make it for him anyway. After all, Kenshin always felt like something was missing without the reverse-blade sword. In the end, it didn't matter whether he used it or not.

The third weapon is Li Shunsheng's 'steel wire dagger'. He asked the boss to use materials to make a dagger, but the dagger was too small and there were some leftover materials. In the end, all the materials were made into steel wire and wrapped around the end of the dagger.

In this way, the thrown dagger can be pulled back manually, which can be regarded as a means of long-range attack.

The three people who changed into new weapons (actually two people, Kenshin still used the old weapon, after all, it was too weird to use a reverse blade to fight monsters in the game) naturally had to fight monsters.

The three of them came to the 'Mad Cow Ranch', which was where Kenshin dropped the materials.

The monsters here are mainly cattle, and their levels are generally around level 15, making it an excellent hunting ground for Kirito and Kenshin.

But it's a bit of a stretch for Hei, after all, he's only level 1.

Kirito said, "I'm sorry, Ah Sheng. Now is an emergency. We need to upgrade quickly for the sake of the BOSS. I have no choice but to ask you to kill high-level monsters with us. Although the gaming experience is a little less, I guarantee that this method is the fastest way to upgrade."

Jianxin also said: "Just follow us later, and cause some damage to gain experience."

“…Okay.” Li Shunsheng agreed.
