The weapons sold in Holuka's weapon shop were much better than those sold in Town of Beginnings.
Especially the only one-handed sword, Bronze Sword, which was much better than Kirito's Smallsword.
However, Kirito didn't plan to replace his weapon.
Although Bronze Sword was more powerful, its durability was also lower, and its resistance to special attacks such as "Corrosion" and "Weapon Destruction" was also very low. Acquiring this weapon was equivalent to spending extra Cor to repair it frequently, which was not worth it.
Therefore, Kirito decided to continue using his own weapon and didn't want to replace it. So he spent all his money on armor, bought a leather jacket, and bought some healing items such as Health Potions and Antidote. In this world that had turned into a death game, it was absolutely necessary to equip himself with those items.
Rozen, who didn't have a weapon, didn't need to think so much. He directly bought Bronze Sword and a lot of throwing items. For that, he also sold the useless materials and items he got from monsters and treasure chests to the NPC shop owner. As for healing items such as Health Potions, they were enough for now.
However, Kirito was still worried about Rozen.
"Is this really okay?" Kirito said to Rozen, "It's a waste to spend all your money on throwing items. You can always buy better armor and more Health Potions to be safer."
It seemed that Kirito was a little worried about Rozen's decision to not even upgrade his armor.
However …
"Who are you worried about?" Rozen snapped, "Don't forget, I taught you how to play this game."
The implication was that Rozen understood this simple truth even without Kirito's explanation.
But Rozen still made that choice.
After all …
"As long as you don't get attacked, you don't need to worry about defense."
After making such a statement, Rozen ignored Kirito and went to the innermost house in the village.
"Wu!"
The Rainbow Butterfly immediately flapped its wings and followed.
"Sigh …"
Kirito could only sigh worriedly and follow them.
Not long after, the two of them entered the house.
What appeared in front of him was a very simple house.
There were two phenomena in the house.
One was in a room with a closed door.
One was in the kitchen.
The sound of a little girl coughing could be heard from the former.
The latter had an NPC auntie stirring a pot, looking like she was cooking something.
"Is this the quest point for" Secret Forest Medicine "?"
Rozen asked Kirito.
During the closed beta, Rozen didn't do this quest. Only Kirito spent a lot of time on this quest in order to get the reward that he wanted.
Kirito nodded heavily, then stepped forward and asked the NPC auntie.
"Do you have any difficulties?"
This was one of the fixed lines that could trigger a quest.
Hearing such a line, the housewife in the kitchen slowly turned her head and looked at Kirito.
At this moment, a golden "?" symbol appeared above the NPC's head. "?" symbol.
This was the proof that the quest had been triggered.
"Hello, Mr. Swordsman."
The housewife in the kitchen began to narrate the content of the quest in a low voice.
"My daughter is seriously ill. She can't be cured by decocting the herbs sold in the market. She needs to drink the ovule of a predatory plant in the west of the forest. But that plant is very dangerous, and there is a flower guarding it. Ordinary villagers like us can't get it at all. If Mr. Swordsman can take the ovule for me, I will give you the long sword passed down by my ancestors as a gift."
The NPC auntie finished her question in one breath and looked at Kirito expectantly.
Kirito immediately nodded.
"Please leave it to me."
As soon as this sentence fell from Kirito's mouth, a window immediately appeared in front of him.
The window showed the quest record.
Kirito stepped back, and Rozen stepped forward, used the same method to trigger the quest, and got the status of "Forest's Secret Potion" in progress.
Only then did the two of them leave the room and go outside.
"So, the quest is accepted."
Kirito said to Rozen.
"As long as you complete the quest, you can get the Anneal Sword as a reward. Is that your goal?"
The Anneal Sword.
It was a very high-performance one-handed sword, and it was one of the most advanced weapons that could be obtained in the first floor of Aincrad.
This weapon was neither a rare drop, nor the type that was sold in weapon shops. There was only one way to obtain it.
That was to complete the quest "Forest's Secret Potion".
As long as he completed the quest, he could get the sword.
With the performance of this sword, not to mention the first floor, it could be used all the way to the third floor. For those who wanted to become a top one-handed sword user, it was essential.
That was why Kirito, who was a one-handed sword user, wanted to get his hands on this weapon.
And Rozen also valued the performance of the Anneal Sword.
Although Rozen didn't complete this quest during the closed beta, under Kirito's influence, his main weapon was also a one-handed sword.
However, Kirito used a one-handed sword as his main fighting method, while Rozen didn't. He used Tamed Monster and Throw for various support, baiting the enemy, and dealing a fatal blow with a one-handed sword. His fighting method was very different from Kirito's.
Originally, considering a one-handed sword, it would be better to choose an axe or hammer weapon with higher attack power than a one-handed sword. Unfortunately, the attack speed of those two weapons was too slow, and the Sword Skill was too big for Rozen, who was good at planning before making a move. Other weapons with higher attack power were too low, so Rozan Can chose a one-handed sword like Kirito.
Since it was a one-handed sword user, he couldn't miss this quest.
That was why Rozen came with Kirito.
The problem was …
"This quest can't be completed at the same time. How are you going to do it?"
Kirito asked this question.
In SAO, there were generally two types of quests.
One was to accept the quest in a party, and the other was to accept the quest alone.
Take "Forest's Secret Potion" quest for example, if it belonged to the former category, then Rozen and Kirito could form a party to kill monsters, and once they found a quest item, they could submit it, complete the quest together, and get the reward.
If it was the latter, then each of them must obtain a quest item and submit it separately to complete the quest together.
This quest belonged to the latter, and there was no way to complete it as a party.
But …
"If we can't complete the quest in a party, then we'll just need to get the quest items."
Rozen said.
"We'll come back after we get two quest items. You're going to earn Exp from the monsters in the forest anyway, right?"
Hearing this, Kirito nodded with a wry smile.
The two of them passed through the gate of the village and walked toward the forest that was gradually shrouded in darkness.
"Goo-woo!"
