Chapter 661
The night in Aincrad is very serene . It’s not lit up by the neon lights of the real world . But, instead, it’s lit up by the weak light of lanterns and oil lamps . It reminded one of the time before electric grids . The warm light gave the medieval buildings a fantastic aura . A walk down the lane here would be an enjoyable one as it’s hard to find anything to hate about the streets here .
After exiting the Forest of Wandering, Wu Yan and Silica arrived at the town closest to the Forest . Wu Yan wanted to head home but he’s not comfortable leaving Silica here like this . In the end, she’s still a young girl . Wu Yan also felt uncomfortable bringing someone he just met today back home with him . Silica would also misinterpret the situation so it wasn’t a feasible solution to bring her along with him .
Wu Yan conveniently forgot about how he took Asuna to his home without much hesitation .
They traveled from the teleportation gates plaza to a hotel nearby . The other players kept sneaking glances at Wu Yan . He was, after all, wearing a black coat with a dark greatsword strapped to his back . They were puzzled by him .
Silica also took peeks at Wu Yan . It’s like she’s not sure about something .
“Silica, what’s the matter?”
He couldn’t endure her stares anymore . He addressed the elephant in the room .
Silica blinked and she examined Wu Yan again . She fidgeted and she replied .
“Your outfit and look matches the legendary Fae Swordsman…”
Wu Yan’s expression froze .
“No, it’s not just the outfit…”
Silica gasped .
“Even your name is the same!”
“Is Wu Yan-san THAT Wu Yan?!”
“Well…”
Wu Yan pursed his lips . He silently took a mental note to wear something less conspicuous the next time . Since the jig is up, he got ready to admit his identity .
“Mah, that’s not possible…”
Silica shook her head and she chortled .
“The Fae Swordsman is known to have a fairy tamed monster by his side . It’s also rumored that the tamed monster is better at healing than Pina . Wu Yan-san looks like the Fae swordsman but you don’t have a tamed monster by your side so you can’t be that great person…”
The other pedestrians also ignored him after a brief look . They didn’t spot a tamed monster so they just pegged him for someone who looked similar to the Fae Swordsman .
Wu Yan’s weapon is very high specs but it looks like common equipment . It isn’t hard for other players to mimic his look . The only unique thing that couldn’t be imitated was the fairy familiar he had with him . So far, the Fae Swordsman is the only player with a fairy as his tamed monster . The healing fairy became synonymous with his name .
Wu Yan’s title is the Fae Swordsman, it isn’t hard for others to link him with the healing fairy .
The healing fairy and Pina are tamed monsters who supported by healing . However, the healing fairy completely left Pina in the dust when comparing healing abilities . 20% max HP restoration every minute . The healing fairy is the reason why Wu Yan can recklessly dive into high-level dungeons .
Silica’s tamed monster healing isn’t as good . Her tamed monster can heal 2000 – 4000 Hp per minute . For low-level players, it’s a boon for sure . But, for high-level players who can easily reach 10,000 hp without stat boost, her healing lost its luster .
Of course, the story would be different if Silica’s level is high . Her healing abilities would make other players drool . Either way, having a tamed monster is a very rare achievement . Tamed monsters are also not well-known because few players ever got the chance to obtain one . Besides Wu Yan and Silica, he didn’t hear about any other players with a tamed monster .

Pina lacked in healing when compared to Wu Yan’s healing fairy . But, her tamed monster is very smart and probably sentient to a high degree . It enjoys a degree of free movement . Unlike his healing fairy, other than healing Wu Yan once a minute when prompted, it stays close to Wu Yan without doing anything else .
There are pros and cons to this . Being somewhat more intelligent, Pina can help the owner greatly in extraordinary circumstances . For example, Silica would have died if Pina didn’t block the attack for her . Wu Yan’s healing fairy would have watched Wu Yan die because it only had simplistic functions .
But, he can always return the healing fairy to his familiar crystal so Wu Yan don’t have to worry about the tamed monster hanging around him . This saved him a lot of unwanted trouble .
If Silica becomes a high-level player, she’s probably going to be hounded to death by guilds fighting over her .
Wu Yan looked at Silica .
“Okay, Silica, why are you calling the Fae Swordsman a great person?”
Silica clasped her hands together . She showed great admiration for the player .
“Of course, the Fae Swordsman is the strongest player in SAO . He is someone who can achieve what took others a raid group to do . Also, he has a tamed monster just like me so he’s like my idol…”
Wu Yan raised an eyebrow . He wasn’t sure what he should say .
Shouldn’t you recognize your idol at first glance?
Silica thought Wu Yan was taken aback because she started praising another player out of nowhere . She tried to praise him as well .
“Of course, Wu Yan-san is also incredible!”
“I see…”

Wu Yan assumed Silica is just saying this to make him feel better . Unknown to him, Silica treated him as a high-level player because he easily killed three nightmare-level monsters for her .
The two of them arrived at the hotel and Silica suddenly asked Wu Yan .
“Wu Yan-san has his own home, right? Where do you live?”
“On the 22nd floor…”
Wu Yan helplessly replied .
“It’s not that far from here . I wanted to return home but since I brought you here, I might as well stay for the night . ”
“The 22nd floor, huh?…”
Silica was surprised .
“I assumed with your strength, you would living on a higher floor…”
“It’s not like it gets better the higher you go…”
Wu Yan smiled .
“I know a friend of mine who likes my home very much . She said the scenery there is to die for . ”

“Is that so?”
Silica tilted her head .
“I kinda want to see it now…”
Silica put Wu Yan on the spot with her request .
He is wavering because today is the first time they met . Who would have thought the person herself didn’t mind, he felt a bit sour for thinking so much about this matter .
“Ara, isn’t this Silica?”
A sarcastic tone came . Both Silica and Wu Yan heard it .
Wu Yan furrowed his brows . Wu Yan looked at the source of this sound while Silica’s expression dimmed the moment she heard this voice .
When they looked in that direction, an attractive woman greeted them with three male players in tow . Her flaming red hair matched her tight and explosive attire . Silica lowered her head because she’s the last person she wanted to see right now . Wu Yan grinned after a brief pause .
Rosalia, she’s the player who was part of Silica’s party . She also robbed Silica of her share of the loot .
She’s also the major reason why Silica lacked the crucial healing crystal she needed in her encounter with the three ape monsters . She indirectly caused the death of Pina . If anyone is to be blamed, it’s Rosalia!
Wu Yan is more interested in her other identity .
She’s the leader of Titan’s hand, the orange guild!
