Is it...
Asuna looked at the woman cautiously.
The woman, her eyes filled with sorrow, began to speak slowly, “I am Kizmail, the dark elf swordsman and dark elf knight who guards the forest. My sister is named Primia, and I have been searching for her. If something happens to her, I will never see her again.”
A notification box appeared in front of Asuna.
[Hidden Quest: Help the Dark Elf Knight Kizmel find his sister, Premia.]
[Quest Reward: Obtain Chivalric Rapier.]
At this moment, the dark elf knight Kizmel was recounting her story with great emotion, while Asuna was astonished to find that the woman before her was actually...
"NPC?"
Asuna was shocked to find that the NPC in front of her possessed extremely high intelligence, remarkably similar to that of humans. Its actions and speech were remarkably natural, almost indistinguishable from humans.
This should be the only highly intelligent NPC in the Dark Elf camp.
……
After accepting the mission, Asuna was deeply moved by the sorrow of the Dark Elf Knight, Kizmel. She secretly vowed to find Premiere.
"Can we really find Premiera?"
Asuna asked.
Lin Yan nodded.
He knew very well that Asuna was a soft-hearted and kind girl, with a heart as pure as an angel's.
He also foresaw that they would soon encounter Premia.
Even if this is a game of death.
For NPCs, death does not mean resurrection; instead, a completely different character will appear. Every NPC in *SAO* possesses unique characteristics and AI, making them irreplaceable and unique in this world.
……
One minute.
Two minutes.
……
One hour.
Two hours.
Lin Yan and Asuna were still wandering in the forest. They still hadn't seen Premiera...

Just as Asuna began to doubt herself, a rustling sound came from afar.
"There's someone there, it seems like there's someone there."
"Asuna."
Lin Yan stopped Asuna, giving her a meaningful look. Asuna instantly understood that in SAO, it was impossible to confirm whether it was an NPC or another player. In this death game, not all players were safe. Some players, especially those with orange names, were in considerable danger.
At the very least, it's robbery.
Even murder.
They are capable of doing it.
Moreover, they have no psychological burden whatsoever.
The most dangerous are, of course, players with red names (indicating they have been intoxicated by a red-named player).
This is a symbol of depravity.
Asuna followed behind Lin Yan. She trusted Lin Yan completely, and being behind him meant she was in a completely safe zone.
"little girl?"
Asuna, who was behind Lin Yan, saw a little girl.
She was a girl with short black hair, calm eyes, and wearing a light blue dress.
She wasn't surprised to see Lin Yan and Asuna.
Instead, he remained expressionless.
"What are you doing here? Are you lost?"
Asuna could tell at a glance that the girl was definitely younger than herself, and she was somewhat surprised that such a young child would be here.
The little girl, however, remained indifferent.
She did not answer Asuna's question.
The little girl stared straight at Lin Yan, her poker face showing no change in expression, but she rushed over in a flash.
"Take me on an adventure."
She clung to Lin Yan's arm, her innocent face looking up at him, and spoke to him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Asuna didn't even realize why this little girl had suddenly become so attached to Lin Yan, and so...
The attitude was subtle.
This moment.
A subtle emotion welled up in Asuna's heart, and she even had an impulse to hug Lin Yan's arm as well.
In the end, they didn't do that.
"What's your name, little sister?"
Asuna asked patiently.
After all, the other party was a young girl, and Asuna, with her kind nature, really couldn't bear to scold her.
The little girl glanced at Asuna indifferently.
They remained silent.
Lin Yan asked in the same calm tone, and it was a casual question that immediately changed the look in the little girl's eyes.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Premia."
She answered the question obediently, and her eyes remained fixed on Lin Yan.
Asuna immediately remembered the hidden quest: to help the dark elf knight Kizmel find his sister, Primia.
Premia!
This is Primia, the sister that the elf knight Kizmel has been searching for! It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
"You are Premia? Your sister Kizmail is looking for you. Let's go back and see her quickly."
Asuna shook off her displeasure and smiled gently. Premia, however, glanced at Asuna sideways.
Still that poker face.
Asuna looked at Lin Yan innocently.
Why does this little girl always have such a blank expression? Her personality is completely different from her sister's. Asuna doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lin Yan repeated, "You're Premia? Your sister Kizmel is looking for you. Let's hurry back and see her."

"OK.".
Primia, with her poker face unchanged, readily agreed.
Asuna looked completely innocent. What kind of obvious difference in treatment was this? Was it discrimination? Was it just because of Lin Yan's handsome face that appealed to all ages?
Although she felt a little wronged, Asuna still showed a gentle smile.
As long as the task is completed successfully.
What's a little grievance?
then……
In the dense forest, Asuna followed behind them, while Premia clung tightly to Lin Yan's arm.
Asuna emphasized this to herself over and over again.
"She's just an NPC, just an NPC." Besides, the other party is a little girl younger than herself.
This is how I suppressed the restlessness in my heart.
They quickly found Kizmel, and what made Asuna both amused and exasperated was that the little girl Premia kept clinging to Lin Yan.
I want to go on an adventure with him.
[Hidden quest completed: Help the Dark Elf Knight Kizmel find his sister Premia.]
[Quest Reward: Obtain Chivalric Rapier.]
"Thank you, warriors, thank you for reuniting me with my sister. May you have a safe journey."
He parted ways with the Dark Elf Knight, Kizmel.
Asuna obtained the Chivalric Rapier and materialized it.
The variety of weapons in SAO is enormous. It's generally believed that if all the unique names of each type of weapon were listed, there would be no fewer than several thousand.
Unlike typical RPGs, the higher the weapon's level, the more diverse its unique name becomes. Low-level weapons, such as one-handed straight swords, exist in this world with countless swords bearing mundane names like "Bronze Sword" or "Steel Blade." However, the highest-level weapons currently appearing, like Asuna's "Shining Light," likely only exist once in this world, and can only be crafted once.
Of course, whether player-crafted or monster-dropped, there are rapiers with similar performance levels, but with different names and appearances. This is why high-level weapons attract users, who treat them as companions sharing their souls.
Because the name and appearance of the weapon are determined by the system, even we, as the creators, have no way of knowing before it is completed.
"Thank you so much."
Asuna said with a smile.
She completed the hidden mission successfully, which was unexpected. She glanced at Lin Yan's shop; he was busy at work.
I even felt a little envious of this little girl.
To be able to stay with Lin Yan forever.
but--
Asuna suddenly blushed, afraid that Lin Yan would discover her little secret. "Then I'll go back first. Contact me if you need anything."
Asuna turned and left.
People on the street still recognized Asuna, after all, in SAO, it is rare to see someone with Asuna's looks.
"Is that the girl? Asuna..."
"She's a real beauty."
"Asuna-sama is so beautiful."
Asuna ignored the whispers and walked a distance from Lin Yan's shop before turning around, letting out a sigh of relief. But as she turned, she saw several people with strange expressions.
She tried to go around to get there, but was stopped.
They were dressed uniformly, wearing exaggerated pure white cloaks emblazoned with red emblems, and the uniforms of the Blood Oath Knights. They appeared to be members of the Blood Oath Knights.
"Lady Asuna."
The man's tone was relatively polite, but his expression revealed arrogance.

"Our commander, Lord Heathcliff, has specially invited you."
"I don't join any guilds."
Asuna politely declined.
