Sword Art Online 012 – Alicization Rising Chapter 7 – The Two Supervisors 55 Wasn't that the name of that legendary great hero Eugeo had once told me about, with an expression filled with admiration? He was the brave warrior from the first generation of settlers at Rulid Village; he explored the mountain range at the edge and tried to steal the «Blue Rose Sword» from the white dragon that protected the Human World. I believe not even Eugeo knew about Bercouli's final years. Eugeo probably imagined he had continued living in Rulid and grown old—the thought that Bercouli had been abducted by Administrator and remodeled into her first integrity knight would never have occurred to him. "Hey... hey, Cardinal, you also know how Eugeo and I teamed up, and still had an extremely difficult fight against Eldrie Synthesis Thirty-one... who would be the thirty-first integrity knight, right?

They would only be in the city when a major criminal who defied the Taboo Index appeared and that hasn't happened even once in these ten years.
