I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

……

"Sigurd..."

Sakuya lowered his eyes, and after a long moment, he sighed, "So that's why the fire spirits showed up here, wanting to take our heads."

After listening to what Leafa said, Arisa finally understood what was going on.

As for the others, anger also surged in their hearts.

Especially the wind elves, they were extremely angry.

"I didn't expect that guy to be a traitor!!"

"I've said it before, although that person has some abilities, he has many character problems. He shouldn't have been allowed into the executive department in the first place!"

"I really don't know why a guy like that gets so much support in the monthly crowdfunding polls."

"Damn it, I must not let him go easily when I go back!"

The players who can appear here are all like Sigurd. They are all high-level wind elves and have a place in the ruling department. Naturally, they are not strangers to Sigurd.

And now, when they learned that they were actually betrayed by Sigurd and even attracted the fire elves to kill them, it made them even more angry and even a little bit unbelievable.

In ALO, where races are constantly competing for power, there are actually quite a few spies between the different races.

Because it is possible to log in using an unnecessary account, there are many players who use other accounts to conduct espionage activities.

Among the wind elves based in Siiluban, there must be a few disguised characters of players of other races mixed in!

Regardless, basically, players with low skill proficiency, low contribution, and who are not very active in normal times will actually be considered spies and cannot approach the center of the Executive. Even Leafa was only recently allowed to enter the Lord's Mansion behind the Tower of Wind.

Sigurd was a person who actively participated in the governing activities at the very beginning of ALO!

In the four lord elections held so far, he was either second or third. Even though Sakuya always topped the list with about 80% of the votes, Sigurd still had about 30% to 40% of the votes.

However, even though he lost the election, Sigurd was not discouraged and volunteered to serve as an assistant. Now he has become a very important figure in the core of the ruling department.

It is really hard to believe that he is a spy for the fire elves.

Asuna also more or less guessed Sigurd's actions.

In fact, looking at what Sigurd did, one can understand that this person is a player with an extremely strong desire for power.

He has a high opinion of himself, is arrogant, and even self-righteous. He cannot tolerate the result of losing to Leafa in the martial arts competition, so he recruits Leafa into his team and makes her his subordinate in order to maintain his status and reputation.

Even though it was agreed in advance, he regarded Leafa's leaving the team as an unforgivable sin, thinking that his reputation was damaged, and even made unreasonable demands with all kinds of righteous reasons. Such a guy would never be willing to be driven around by others.

Therefore, even in the ruling department, Sigurd was an indispensable figure. Even after the lord lost the election, he still did the auxiliary work without being discouraged. But that was definitely not the result that Sigurd was willing to do!

But he thought that if he didn't do this, he might not even be able to maintain his position in the ruling department?

Therefore, Sigurd has been doing auxiliary work all the time, not for the sake of working diligently for the wind elves, but just to avoid becoming an ordinary player with no status at all.

People who don't know the situation naturally think that Sigurd is doing this willingly when they see his style, which is why they are deceived by him, allowing Sigurd to get 30% to 40% of the votes every time, and his support rate is not low.

If it weren't for this, Asuna really couldn't imagine how that paper tiger could gain so much support with his style of doing things.

A guy like this must have great ambitions and will not care about the lives of others.

So, naturally, this guy betrayed.

"I think he was not a spy from the beginning, but was instigated recently."

Sakuya said in a deep voice.

"In the past three or four months, Sigurd's behavior has become more anxious and irritable than before. It seems like he is planning something behind the scenes."

This is also the reason why Reagan was able to detect his abnormality.

"Because I didn't want to be called a dictator, I always stuck to the collegial system and let Sigurd, who had a lot of support, hold an important position to show outsiders that I was fair. But when I think about it carefully, maybe it was because of my indulgence that he thought I was easy to deal with and not scary at all, and finally chose to betray me."

Sakuya speculated on Sigurd's psychology.

"What he pursues is not just the character's numerical ability, but he also desperately seeks all the power a player can get. He certainly can't accept that the wind elves are suppressed by the fire elves, and he can't stand that I can't lead the wind elves to turn things around and make them the strongest race. He can't even stand my existence itself, and he is inferior to others."

As he said this, Sakuya couldn't help but sigh.

"However, in order to capture the World Tree, complete the final mission, reincarnate as the Light Spirit, and completely dominate the sky of Alpheim, the Fire Spirit began to collect funds a lot a few months ago and hunted the Wind Spirit as prey. When Sigurd saw this situation, he must have been unable to resist."

This is why Sigurd has become anxious and restless in recent months.

Sigurd couldn't bear to see the wind elf being suppressed by the fire elf.

079 Expelled from the Territory

Sigurd simply couldn't stand watching Sakuya doing nothing.

Later, when Sigurd saw the Fire Spirit making drastic moves to become the Light Spirit, Sigurd's patience had reached its limit.

Once the Fire Elves succeed, Alpheim will completely become the back garden of the Fire Elves, and the Wind Elves who are hostile to the Fire Elves will certainly be completely suppressed. At that time, he can only look up at them from the ground, and can only be bullied as a weakling. How can Sigurd tolerate this?

After that, Sigurd embarked on the path of betrayal.

"He must have been instigated by Montifa, right?"

Sakuya said with certainty:

“That man has always been cruel. He was the one who murdered the previous lord of the wind elves.

This time, in order to capture the World Tree and suppress the Wind Spirit, it is entirely possible that he secretly instigated people to betray."

And Sigurd was chosen by Montifa.

"'If you hand over the lord's head, I will allow you to be reincarnated as a fire elf and become a high-ranking fire elf.'

Montifa must have encouraged Sigurd to betray us."

Sakuya's words shocked everyone present.

"In this game, can I change my race and reincarnate into another race?"

Asuna asked in surprise.

“I heard that in a while, the game operator will import new update files and connect to the reincarnation system, allowing players to reincarnate into other races.

However, this requires a staggering amount of money, and few players can afford it. "

Sakuya explained this to Asuna, and also explained why Sigurd worked for the fire spirit.

After all, even she said that few people could afford the cost of reincarnation, and Sigurd alone could not afford it.

Therefore, Montifa seized this flaw and promised to help Sigurd reincarnate, which made him tempted.

“If he could be reincarnated, he would immediately become one of the strongest forces in ALO, and even a high-ranking member of the Fire Elves!

Perhaps, if the Fire Spirit succeeds in conquering the World Tree, he can also be reincarnated as a Light Spirit, looking down at players of other races from the sky. With Sigurd's personality, he will definitely not be able to resist such temptations."

Having said that, Sakuya no longer sighed.

After such analysis, she was completely disappointed with Sigurd.

The other wind elves stopped discussing Sigurd and were completely disappointed in him.

"What a fool."

Leafa whispered, "If he really can't stand being a member of the Wind Elves, then he can just create a new Fire Elves account and switch to the Fire Elves."

Hearing this, Alyssa spread her hands helplessly.

"Didn't Sakuya already say that? That person not only pursues the rights and status of a player, but also the ability value."

"For a character that has been played since the beginning of ALO, even if the props, money, and equipment can be transferred, the skill proficiency that has been hard to improve cannot be transferred. Anyone would hesitate when they think that they have to work hard for more than a year to train the character."

This is not one of those computer games where you can open two games at the same time and practice multiple characters at the same time.

Here, players can only invest in one character, otherwise they are all just half-baked.

In order not to waste the account that he had worked so hard to build, Sigurd naturally chose to betray.

"It's really unacceptable that we were almost framed by a guy like this and put our race in trouble."

Arisa looked at Sakuya.

The meaning is very clear, this is your fault, you have to express your opinion~

Seeing this, Sakuya smiled bitterly:

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation, and also an explanation to the cat demon tribe."

However, Sakuya's words did not reassure Alyssa.

"how do you want to do it?"

Alyssa asked.

"I will expel him from the territory and make him a traitor to the territory."

Sakuya said in a firm tone.

"Expelled from the territory?"

Sakuya's decision stunned all the players present.

Especially the high-level wind elves looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this really okay? Sakuya?"

Leafa's expression was a little hesitant.

She was not the only one who was hesitant about Sakuya's decision, other wind elf players felt the same way.

This was not because everyone felt sorry or compassion for Sigurd's fate, but because they were worried about the consequences of doing so.

"No matter what, he has the support of 30-40% of the wind elf players, and his work in the executive department is at least very good. If such a person is expelled from the territory casually, it will have a significant impact on the wind elf race, right?"

Alyssa said with a smile.

However, as she said, although Sigurd had a bad character and betrayed the Wind Elves, only a few of them knew about this, and Sakuya could not produce any concrete evidence. If Sigurd was expelled from the territory at will, those players who supported Sigurd would definitely raise objections, and the work of the executive department would be affected, eventually leading to problems in the management and operation of the Wind Elves.

Perhaps, Sigurd dared to do whatever he wanted just because of these.

So, although no one felt sorry for Sigurd, they had to take these issues into consideration for the sake of the interests of the race and internal stability.

"Whether my decision is right or not depends on how many people support me in the next lord election."

Sakuya looked nonchalant and told everyone clearly that she had made up her mind.

This was not only because Sakuya could not tolerate Sigurd's actions, but also because of consideration for the future.

Not to mention how great a potential crisis keeping Sigurd would bring to the wind elves, let's just talk about the cat demons. If they can't deal with the spies and eliminate the danger, the other party will definitely not easily trust the wind elves again. The so-called alliance will become extremely fragile, and in the end they may even be blamed and rejected by the cat demon players.

After all, it would be fine if Sakuya was the only one in danger during this crisis, but the leader of the cat demon clan was also here, and he was harmed because of the wind elves, and the entire race was almost in danger. In this case, if Sakuya does not punish the culprit, the cat demons will never let it go.

By then, the wind elves' position would be very passive.

Therefore, Sakuya must punish Sigurd and must not show any leniency.

Presumably, even Sigurd would not have thought that his final fate would be like this.

080 The Alliance Finally Reached

For that guy who values ​​face and status above all else, this is definitely the most painful punishment, even more painful than killing him.

not to mention.

“In losing a man, we also gained an unimaginable talent.”

Sakuya looked in Asuna's direction and smiled.

Hearing this, everyone was startled at first, and then they all reacted.

That's right.

Although Sigurd is lost, isn’t there a terrifying newcomer among the wind elves?

Recalling how he could easily crush the strongest players in ALO and how even the elite troops of the Fire Elves did not dare to compete with him, a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on Sakuya's face.

"On behalf of the wind elves, I welcome you, Miss Asuna."

Sakuya extended a hand to Asuna as a gesture of friendship.

"Uh……"

Asuna blinked, looked at Sakuya's happy face, and gently stroked her hair, looking a little embarrassed.
