After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

"That man seems to be a more traditional knight." The dagger gently lifted the curtain, and the short killer looked through the gap in the curtain to observe the hotel a kilometer away.

Then, a purple arrow pierced through his head.

The killer's body fell back irresistibly, his right eye was pierced, and the blood flowed and stained the floor red.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a short time.

"Hide!" The killer leader immediately responded, ordered all the killers present, and set an example by hiding next to the wardrobe.

Several killers present also reacted and quickly found a good cover. They already understood that the killers sent out had been dealt with by Akhtar.

Now start to snipe them in the opposite direction.

At the same time.

On the eaves within a hundred meters nearby.

Ximu put down the meteorite bow, handed the bow to Leticia beside him, and then raised his hand to grab the hunting king sword behind him.

"I'll deal with them." He said to Jed and Leticia, jumped off the eaves, and walked towards the hotel where the killer was hiding.

Leticia looked at this scene and did not dissuade them. Instead, she drew her bow and arrow and locked onto the room where the killer was hiding.

In fact, she not only knew magic, but was also good at swordsmanship, spearmanship, bowmanship, and dagger, and had received professional training since childhood.

Within a hundred meters, she used magic to locate the trajectory of the arrow, and it was absolutely impossible for her to miss the target, otherwise she would be too sorry for the careful teaching of the court tutor.

I don't know if Ximu would be surprised when he learned that she was good at bows and arrows.

"These killers are really tenacious." Shaking his head slightly, Jed looked around vigilantly, holding the dagger he got from the female killer, guarding against assassins who might appear at any time.

Since Leticia wanted to snipe the enemy, she naturally assumed the obligation of a protector to prevent anyone from hurting Leticia.

At the same time.

A hundred meters away.

Ximu walked into the dark hotel alone, and as the sound of footsteps echoed, he got closer and closer to the room where the killer was.

If he went to the city guards of Sky City now, he could get rid of these killers without doing it himself, and he could also enjoy a soft big bed and delicious dinner.

However, this would cause him to waste his experience pack, so his choice was to do it himself and get rid of these killers one by one.

Suddenly he stopped, stabbed the hunting king sword in his hand upwards, accompanied by the sound of flesh penetration and tearing, Ximu swung the hunting king sword hard, and a corpse with a pierced chest smashed towards the aisle in front.

With the sliding, a long blood mark was drawn on the ground.

"If you talk about assassination skills, you are too immature." The chuckle echoed, and Ximu challenged the hidden killers, "After all, you are just a group of killers who come to play with their lives with the meager bounty given by the town owner."

He swung the sword casually, piercing the wall beside him, and as the shadow of the wall twisted, a killer vomiting blood was revealed, and the look he looked at him seemed to be questioning.

Why did you find his hiding?

Without answering, Ximu casually swung the hunting king sword and threw the corpse forward. As the corpse slid, the hidden mechanism was triggered, and poisonous arrows shot out and nailed to the floor.

At this moment, a rebuttal came.

"If we are third-rate killers hired by the town owner with a bounty, then you are just a villager protecting the town owner's daughter."

The gap between countries in this world is huge, which is somewhat similar to reality. A vast land occupying a continent is also a country.

And occupying a few hills can also be a country.

However, although they are all countries, there is no comparison at all. Although Leticia's country is not really a small town, it cannot be compared with a vast country.

"Then you villagers can't beat it, it's too pitiful." Ximu said jokingly, stopping in front of the stairs.

In front of him, there was a killer holding two knives, flexibly playing with the two knives with both hands, with a bad and confident smile.

Three seconds later.

Ximu passed by the assassin holding two knives, and the assassin's confident and evil smile had become bloody.

The experience points provided by this group of assassins began to decrease. Is the second princess of the Iris Kingdom reluctant to spend money? Why are the assassins hired so poorly?

Before the optimization, the quality of the assassins who came was stronger and stronger. As long as the rhythm was right, you could harvest a wave of experience points every once in a while.

When he came to the top of the building, there were seven or eight corpses behind Ximu, all of whom were assassins who came to try to assassinate.

When he was a newbie, he was tortured to death by this group of assassins. If he was not careful, he would die.

Now he can regard this group of assassins as an activity experience package, and it does not threaten his safety.

"Why... protect that woman?" The assassin leader has appeared in the corridor. Looking at the silver-clad knight holding a big sword and walking towards him step by step, he felt a chill on his back for no reason.

"She can't give you anything. On the contrary, if you kill her, we can give you nine-tenths of the bounty."

"When I help her take back the country, everything will be mine." The silver-clad knight chuckled, and his footsteps did not stop. The blood-stained hunting king sword touched the ground lightly, as if it was an ink pen stained with red paint, drawing a long blood mark on the ground.

The assassin leader finally understood this at this time. The knight in front of him was not upright, but had a strong ambition.

It was not for justice, nor for protecting the princess, but for... seizing the Kingdom of Iris. This man's goal was not pure from the beginning.

"It is impossible to seize the Kingdom of Iris by yourself!" He wanted to continue to persuade, but the silver-clad knight still did not stop.

He took a step back uncontrollably. The other party's armor and weapons were obviously like the protagonist in a heroic story.

But he felt like he was facing a crazy demon.

"Since you don't listen to my advice, I can only kill you." With a sigh of regret, the killer leader took out a dagger and threw it hard at Ximu's face. With the sound of the dagger breaking through the air, he suddenly turned around and jumped towards the open window, as graceful and natural as a diver.

Then a purple arrow pierced his head, and his body lost control in mid-air, flipped and fell on the street.

"..." Ximu stood by the window, looking at the killer's body that fell on the street and twitched, and calmly withdrew his sight.

"Forget it, the experience of this group of people is just like that anyway." He shook his head, left the hotel, took Leticia and Jed, found the city guards to report, explained what happened tonight, and said that he was Siegfried's apprentice.

The follow-up matters were easy to handle. The city guards took buckets to clean the bloodstains in the hotel and disposed of the bodies of the killers.

They also changed to a safe residence and spent a peaceful night under the protection of the city guards.

At the same time.

In a remote alley.

"It's really not easy to kill." A mature woman with long brown hair leaning against the wall smiled disdainfully.

"Give up, I don't want to die here." After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation. The killers who assassinated Akhtar before were all a group of brave but foolish guys.

After she confirmed that Akhtar was difficult to deal with, she didn't plan to attack Akhtar. After all, being a killer is to make money, there is no need to gamble with her life.

Unless the second princess of Iris adds money.

…

…

The next day.

Early morning.

The sky was gleaming with light, and the whole town came alive. Carriages were passing by, and the shops were open, with tempting food aromas.

A pure white boat was docked by the lake.

"Lord Akhtar, this is the boat to the Sky City." A man in a suit said to the silver-clad knight in front of him:

"When you get up there, there will be a special person to receive you to see His Majesty."

"Yes." Nodding slightly, Ximu took Leticia and Jed into the boat, and went away under the man's gaze, riding on the backward waterfall, sailing towards the Sky City.

…

…

"It's really magical. We are ascending to heaven, but it's no different from standing on the ground." Jed looked out of the boat and saw that the town below was getting smaller and smaller, but the field of vision was constantly widening, as if to take the whole world into his sight.

She had been to the Sky City Station before, but she had never been to the Sky City. After all, the cost of going to the Sky City was too expensive, and the consumption in the Sky City was also expensive.

There was no need. An adventurer like her would not take the initiative to go to the Sky City.

"Sister Leticia, do you know about the Sky City?" She suddenly thought of something and looked at Leticia expectantly.

To her, Leticia seemed to know everything. Except for not being frank about her feelings, she basically had no shortcomings.

In response, Leticia smiled and said, "I don't know much about the Sky City, but I do know a little information."

She thought about it and organized her words.

"The Sky City was originally a city on the ground, but later a wise man appeared and used a secret magic to drag the entire city into the sky."

"The reason for doing this was to escape the plague brought down by the God of Plague. He believed that the Sky City was isolated from the world, and that by cutting off contact with the outside world before the plague broke out, the plague could be prevented from spreading to his country."

"But it was also for this reason that many wealthy officials and nobles spent a lot of money to buy a property in the Sky City in order to seek stability during the plague, thus causing the Sky City to be Highly prosperous."

"Every inch of land is worth a lot of money. This is not an adjective, but the real situation in the Sky City. In addition to the properties originally allocated to the natives, it is impossible for outsiders to obtain the residential area of ​​the Sky City even if they work hard for three or ten lifetimes."

"By the way, the mainstream belief of the Sky City is not the gods, but the sage who dragged the city into the sky. People believe that the sage is the manifestation of the gods."

"For this reason, the residents of the Sky City also created a magnificent temple for the sage."

At this point, she looked at Akhtar and smiled.

"When we have time, we can visit it. The temple of the sage is still worth seeing."

"If you have time, go and see it." Ximu seemed a little uninterested and was not interested in the so-called temple of the sage.

He had been to that place many times. Except for the shock of the first time, every subsequent visit was to complete the side story. He was not interested in the magnificent temple at all.

Sometimes he would even feel disgusted, wondering why these NPCs had to build such a large temple. It was a bit strenuous to run around, wasting a lot of his time.

"Boss, you seem... not in a good mood?" Jed keenly noticed that Ximu was not in a good mood, even though it was time for him to be happy.

In response, Ximu casually explained:

"I'm not good at dealing with those nobles and the king. Just thinking about it makes me feel distressed."

This is a lie. He just thinks this cutscene is too long, but he can't skip it and feels bored.

If it weren't for Siegfried's magic, he wouldn't have wasted so much time on such a meaningless cutscene.

But who can blame the game officials for the immersion? They can only run maps with great effort, unless he unlocks the anchor teleporter.

That is, the ability to teleport with people.

But that ability is in another country, and it takes a lot of effort to subdue it, and it's obviously too late now.

"If Mr. Akhtar is not good at dealing with it, how about I do it?" Leticia took the initiative to speak, her emerald eyes a little erratic, "As long as I am nominally Mr. Akhtar's girlfriend, or fiancée."

She used a tone as calm and objective as possible.

"Then I can communicate with the nobles on behalf of Mr. Akhtar, and I am also good at this."

The atmosphere became subtle.

Jed covered his mouth with both hands. This must be a confession and a courtship. Although it was not said directly, anyone with a slightly higher EQ would understand it.

However.

"Please." Ximu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Leticia. He seemed not to notice the hint in Leticia's words.

Beside him, Jed's expression collapsed. Did her boss really not understand, or was he pretending not to understand? This was basically a confession. He could take advantage of Sister Leticia and reach the peak of his life.

Regardless of her appearance, knowledge, personality, and ability, she felt that Sister Leticia was impeccable. Why didn't the boss react much?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ximu looked at Jed's drooping face and asked curiously.

Zed shook his head and sighed, "Boss, a man who is too upright will miss a lot of beautiful things."

"Really?" Ximu nodded gently, then turned to Leticia and said, "By the way, since we are pretending to be a couple, we must pretend thoroughly, and start by giving each other gifts."

He handed over a gem necklace looted in the Crucible City.

"Although it is not a very expensive gift, it feels pretty."

"This is the bracelet given to me by my mother." Leticia lowered her head, took out a bracelet, and exchanged it with Akhtar's gift.

Zed looked at this scene and began to be a little confused. Did the boss really not understand Sister Leticia's intentions, or did he not accept it for some reason.

If she didn't know that the boss was reliable, she would have thought that the boss was deliberately hanging Sister Leticia.
