Tilberu looked around and said, "How about we go somewhere else?"

104 I did a small experiment

Yuriel frowned. She had never liked Tilberu because she always felt that he was a scheming man, and scheming men were never reliable.

If she were to find a man in the future, she would definitely choose someone honest and reliable. She wouldn't choose someone like Tilberu or Momo.

Unfortunately, Yuriel didn't know that in the original story, her true love was Sinka. However, Sinka is now active in the first three layers of Aincrad. At present, Yuriel and Sinka have not seen each other for several months and are still like strangers.

If Yuriel knew the truth, would she want to pick up a wood-chopping knife and kill Momo?

I'd say most likely.

“It’s alright, Yuriel. This isn’t really the place to talk anyway. It’s Heathcliff’s territory.”

As she spoke, Asuna looked up and saw several players dressed in the Blood Oath Knights uniforms looking in her direction, seemingly observing.

Asuna and Yuriel were standing on the wide street, which made it difficult for players who wanted to gather information to get close.

However, Asuna and Yuriel didn't seem to be hiding anything from him. If Kayaba Akihiko wanted to know this information, or how Asuna and Yuriel evaluated him, he could let him know and get angry.

In any case, the conflict between the two sides is now on the table, but because all the players are facing a life-or-death crisis, they can only temporarily unite under heavy pressure.

"I understand."

Yuriel composed herself and said, "Then, let's go to our guild headquarters. Do you have any objections, Tilber?"

Clearly, Yuriel is still wary of Tilber. However, the guild headquarters in the Rose Garden would be the safest place.

Because of the principle of striking first, almost all female players in Rose Garden are die-hard fans of Rose Garden. If any faction wants to penetrate deeper into Rose Garden, the first thing it needs to do is find a female player who is still weak and alone.

Unfortunately, this is precisely the difficult point; it's almost impossible to achieve.

"No problem."

Tilber agreed without hesitation, which slightly surprised Yuriel. Now she realized that Tilber probably really had something to discuss with Asuna.

Soon, the group teleported to the guild headquarters in Rose Garden. Compared to the usual bustling guild headquarters, it was now much quieter.

However, at each important position, there were still upright female knights standing guard dutifully. They were also Asuna's loyal followers. Perhaps at this difficult time, they wanted to help Asuna in this way, reduce Asuna's pressure, and stabilize the atmosphere of the entire guild.

"Let's talk about it here; it's actually safer here."

The three of them arrived at the small square in the center of the guild. It was impossible for anyone outside the Rose Garden Guild to be hiding around. Moreover, with Asuna's target acquisition skill already at max level, no one could possibly be hiding in a corner or in the shadows.

"Okay, but I wonder if Miss Yuriel could excuse us for a moment?"

"you……"

“Yuriel,” Yuriel was about to get angry, but Asuna stopped her, saying, “Since Tilber has asked you to, then you should leave for a while. Perhaps it’s something important that concerns both guilds. I don’t think Tilber suspects you, he just doesn’t want others to know.”

"what!"

Tilberu gasped slightly, "Miss Yuriel, don't be angry. I absolutely did not doubt your loyalty. On the contrary, I greatly admire the atmosphere of the entire Rose Garden. We don't even have any players on guard duty there now."

"However, this matter concerns my president, Momo-kun, and there are some things I need to ask Miss Asuna."

Yuriel was startled, her anger dissipating as she turned to look at Asuna, who also frowned before relaxing.

“Yuriel”.

"I understand, President."

Just as Yuriel was about to leave, she was stopped by Tilberu, who said, "Miss Yuriel, to avoid any misunderstanding, I need to tell you that I need to demonstrate something with my swordsmanship, so I'm taking out my sword now."

"Don't think I would attack Miss Asuna, I don't have that kind of guts."

Yuriel was both shocked and furious. Looking at Tilberu, who had already drawn his sword, her eyes turned dangerous, and she said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to do!"

"Please rest assured, it is precisely because I fear misunderstanding that I have drawn my sword now. I do not have the courage to draw my sword against Miss Asuna, whether because of Miss Asuna's strength or anything else."

"President!"

Asuna waved her hand slightly, her eyes filled with more doubt, and said, "Don't worry, Yuriel, it's not that I'm arrogant. Right now, there are probably fewer than five people in the entire Aincrad who could single-handedly hurt me, and that certainly doesn't include Tilber."

Tilber smiled wryly and said, "Fine, even if I'm in charge of command and my swordsmanship isn't very high, can't Miss Asuna give me some face?"

"No, this is already a compliment. Would it be an insult to say that your swordsmanship is not even in the top five?"

Tilberu sighed and said, "It really is. Can you rest easy now, Miss Yuriel?"

"Behave yourself!"

Yuriel was clearly still uneasy. Recent events had made everyone on edge, including Yuriel. She knew all too well that the Rose Garden was held together more by Asuna's personal charisma than by her management.

If something happens to Asuna, the entire Rose Garden will probably fall apart immediately. There's no way around it; without a leader, the girls will definitely go to the person they trust most.

This kind of person is most likely someone they admire.

By then, the division of the Rose Garden will be inevitable.

Yuriel left, but went straight to the two female knights on guard, her eyes fixed on them, her sword resting on its hilt.

“Such enviable loyalty, Miss Asuna, Miss Yuriel is a good deputy.”

"And what about you? Are you a good deputy? You shouldn't envy me."

Tilber was taken aback. Despite Asuna's subtle mockery, he wasn't angry and said, "You're right. I shouldn't envy you. I should learn from Miss Yuriel."

"you?"

Asuna was taken aback, not understanding why Tilber had suddenly changed his honorific title.

"I know you have many questions, but before I answer them, may I demonstrate something for you first?"

Asuna didn't know what Tilberu was up to, but she wasn't worried at all that Tilberu might have some kind of trick up his sleeve.

Because Momo said that Tilberu didn't have the guts; his greatest courage was doing nothing at all.

Momo's words were nonsensical, but Asuna chose to believe them.

Then, Asuna saw Tilber take two items out of his inventory.

A jewelry box, the same style as the ring box Asuna wore that day.

Asuna's expression changed slightly; she seemed to understand what Tilber was going to ask.

So, clues were eventually discovered. Fortunately, it was Tilberu who found them.

Then, Tilberu took out a pair of rings and said, "Here are the same things as the ring box you destroyed that day. They are a pair of cheap rings with +1 Agility, so they can't possibly be the expensive wedding rings."

"However, whether it's a wedding ring or a regular ring, they are both classified as rings, so theoretically they should be the same. The only difference is that wedding rings have special attributes but no basic additional attributes, while regular rings simply add certain attribute points."

"Now, I'll put the ring in the ring box, and then I'll do what you did back then..."

With that, Tilberu placed the ring in the ring box, then tossed it slightly into the air. With a soft shout, a flash of sword light appeared, and the powerful, high-level sword technique, Rock Smash, slammed heavily onto the ring box.

Tilber naturally lacked the attributes of Asuna's weapon, and his sword skills were far less powerful than Asuna's. However, Asuna had only used the lowest-level thrust attack that day, while Tilber was now using his full strength against this ring box.

The results shouldn't be too different.

"Snapped!"

The ring box was merely an ornament. Despite its durability, it was no match for Tilberu's attack, whether measured by real or virtual data. As a result, the ring box shattered instantly, turning into a mosaic and disappearing.

In this respect alone, it is no different from what Asuna did that day and what the result was.

However, there are still slight differences.

"Ding, ding..."

A few faint clinking sounds reached their ears, and they looked over to see the ring that Tilberu had just put into the ring box emerging from the broken part of the box and falling vertically to the ground.

"This is the experiment I'm going to show you."

"From what I understand, although SAO emphasizes many physical laws, it is still a game and cannot be the same as reality."

Tilberu sheathed his sword, bent down to pick up the ring, placed it in his palm, then clicked on the ring to display its attributes.

The ring was intact, with no loss of durability whatsoever.

"In reality, if the box were smashed with that kind of force, the ring would definitely be knocked away and disappear without a trace."

"In the game, although rings can be placed in a ring box, they are still considered separate items by the system. When a player breaks a ring box, the system will only recognize that the player has broken the ring box and will then reclaim the data from the ring box."

"However, unlike reality, because the priority of confirming the destruction of an element is greater than the physical property linkage between two items, the scene just now, which is different from reality, will occur."

Tilber looked at Asuna solemnly and said, "So, the ring box was broken and then retrieved. The ring, however, was essentially teleported from inside the ring box and appeared where the ring box disappeared."

"This is a place different from reality, which could be considered a bug. But that's not my concern. The point is that the ring will never be destroyed, and it will emerge from the broken part of the ring box before falling to the ground."

Tilberu took a deep breath and said, "I'm very confident in my eyesight, but I didn't see that that day."

"So, how should I address you?"

"It's Miss Asuna..."

"...or is it Lady Yagyu?"

105 I dare not disbelieve

Tiber looked at Asuna, but dared not look at her face, much less meet her gaze.

Now, he is here to solemnly ask Asuna for advice, to inquire about the truth of the matter, not to provoke her.

Therefore, Tilberl tried his best to control his words and actions, ensuring that his every word and deed would not give people the slightest feeling of provocation. Otherwise, if Asuna felt that he was provoking her or questioning her, then he would have come for nothing.
