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

"Welcome to the Sky City."

After getting off the boat, an old man in formal clothes and gray hair came towards them, and behind him, there were several maids with good temperament and appearance.

"Master Ximu, I am Kano who is responsible for picking you up." He looked at the silver-clad knight in front of him, bowed gracefully, and then turned to look behind him.

The gorgeous carriage was already waiting.

"Yeah." Ximu nodded slightly, and his eyes turned to Leticia beside him. She blinked her emerald eyes, and then took the initiative to stand up and communicate on his behalf.

Originally, this plot was for the player to communicate by himself, and trigger various reactions of the reception butler through words, but he really didn't want to waste energy and talk nonsense with an insignificant NPC, and at this time, Leticia's superiority as the heir to the kingdom was revealed.

Replacing the player with meaningless and tedious conversations, he only needed to nod or shake his head slightly, which was very worry-free and comfortable.

After a brief exchange, Ximu, Leticia, and Zedd got on the carriage. As the wheels turned, the painting of the Sky City opened.

Compared with the Lionheart City, the prosperity here is higher. There are tall buildings everywhere, and the pedestrians on the road are bright and beautiful.

On the surface, the city is well-organized, everyone is very kind, and the stone slabs divide each area neatly.

Unfortunately, the darkness hidden behind this city is not necessarily less than that of a small mountain village. It is more filthy, like mud.

If the player takes the initiative to understand this city in depth, he will encounter all kinds of disgusting events and have the idea of ​​burning this city to death.

After a while.

The carriage stopped.

Ximu walked down the stairs extended by the carriage, and an ancient castle came into view, and the old historical atmosphere came to his face.

This is where Siegfried is.

"Your Majesty is waiting for Lord Ximu in the courtyard." The old man maintained an elegant smile and led Ximu, Leticia, and Zed into the castle. After many twists and turns, they came to a beautiful courtyard.

"You came earlier than I expected." A hearty laugh came. Ximu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Siegfried sitting in front of a huge stone table with his upper body naked. His smile was bold and free.

"You must be thirsty and hungry after running for so long?" He pointed to the wine and food on the table, "You're welcome. They are all prepared for you."

"Thank you." Ximu thanked him and sat down without any restraint. On the contrary, Leticia and Zed seemed a little uncomfortable.

Now they have to face the leader of a powerful country, and he is also a legendary dragon-slaying hero. It is inevitable that they will have some concerns.

In response, Siegfried waved his hand: "Since you are all Akhtar's family, sit down together."

Letitia and Zed looked at each other and sat down silently. They didn't say anything at this time, leaving the initiative to Ximu, and only Ximu could lead.

At this time, there is no way to let Letitia communicate, and the player must face the plot by himself.

It is considered an alternative that cannot be skipped.

"Do you want to start teaching directly?" Ximu ate the food on the table and drank the high-concentration liquor in one gulp, as if he had known Siegfried for a long time.

"Teaching, at least wait until tomorrow." Touching his chin, Siegfried explained, "Even if you want to teach an apprentice, you have to give a little sweetness first, so that you can understand the benefits of being my apprentice, and it is also convenient for everyone to know that there is a person like you."

Speaking of this, he patted Ximu's shoulder.

"There's a party for you tonight, which will definitely make you forget about home."

"Really?" Ximu looked expectantly, while Siegfried glanced at Leticia who was sitting dignifiedly and swallowed the content of the party.

He just patted Ximu on the shoulder and showed a look that said you know.

"This is a special banquet for you."

"This treatment is so good that it makes me feel a little unreal." Frowning, Ximu stopped eating and asked Siegfried, "Besides letting me kill you, do you have any other requests?"

"Is it so obvious?" Siegfried smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, "I can't tell whether it's a request or a gift to you."

He pointed to the red-haired girl sitting sideways under a tree not far away, who was looking up and down at Ximu with a dissatisfied look.

"My daughter, you can choose to marry her, or you can choose to be her brother and sister, or of course you can do nothing, as long as you become a sage who protects the country."

He poured himself a glass of wine.

"If you marry her, as long as you can ensure that my daughter and child inherit the throne, you can exercise the general power of the king in Sky City. If you become her brother and sister, you will also receive extremely favorable treatment and full support from Sky City."

"And if you become a sage, we will also give you special treatment."

Ximu nodded and said calmly: "The price is to protect this country after your death, right?"

"Yes." Siegfried readily admitted that he accepted Ximu, a genius, as his apprentice not only to let him kill himself, but also to... let his daughter live a safe life after leaving his protection.

Ximu was silent: "I need to think about it."

"Okay." Siegfried agreed readily, glanced at Letitia who was a little uneasy, and roughly guessed why Ximu hesitated. When a beauty is around, you should be more reserved after all, and you can't say anything. If you want, just come out.

But when the banquet starts tonight, Ximu will be able to make a choice.

Thinking of this, he didn't talk much about this matter. While drinking wine and eating delicious food, he talked about some trivial things.

Except for the red-haired princess sitting sideways under the tree not far away, staring at Ximu, it can be said that the experience was extremely pleasant.

No... to be more precise, it would be more pleasurable.

Ximu raised his wine glass and toasted to the red-haired princess under the tree. Seeing her dissatisfied but helpless expression, he drank it down happily.

Pleasure, sometimes is so unpretentious.

After meal.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Ximu, Leticia, and Geed arrived at the residence that had been arranged in advance.

And at the same time.

In the courtyard.

"How do you feel?" Siegfried drank wine and asked his daughter with a smile, "Is this man what you want?"

"There doesn't seem to be anything annoying about it." The red-haired princess said gloomily, "But the thought of marrying the person who killed her father makes me unhappy no matter what."

"If he can kill me, it means he is a more reliable man." Siegfried asked as if he was confused, "Isn't this a better marriage partner?"

Having said this, he shook his head again.

"And he may not marry you."

The red-haired princess looked confused and slightly unconvinced. She naturally acquiesced that Akhtar would choose to get married.

After all, if you choose to be brother and sister or a sage, you will passively receive funding, but if you become a couple, you can actively access the wealth of the Sky City.

Siegfried smiled and did not explain to his daughter. After he stated his conditions, he did not feel any fluctuations in Akhtar. It was obviously a condition that could make people crazy, but it seemed that Akhtar Not interested.

Therefore, it seems possible that Akhtar may choose to become brother and sister, or simply the next sage.

On the contrary, the probability of marrying his daughter is lower.

"You can take the initiative to contact him. Now they also need someone to familiarize themselves with the Sky City." He rubbed his daughter's head, then stood up and left the courtyard. As a king, he still had some things to do.

The red-haired princess touched her head and thought about whether to go to Ximu, but finally gave up the idea.

Even if she went, she wouldn't know what to say.

…

…

At night.

Hidden room.

Private party.

Beauty gathers.

However, participants brought their families.

"..." Siegfried looked at the door, Ximu and Letitia. They were silent for a long time. He turned his head and looked at the row of beauties sitting next to him. He waved his hand helplessly to let this group The beauty leaves.

"Who would bring their families to such a party?" He looked at Ximu and Leticia with some humor. "It's rare that I arrange this dinner."

Ximu retorted: "You didn't say it was such a dinner party."

"Don't all men understand this?" Siegfried raised his hand to his forehead, but he was too lazy to argue. He found that his apprentice seemed to be a bit too upright.

The hints have been so obvious, and he actually brought Leticia, his little lover, with him, how could he have fun?

Leticia: "..."

Originally, she just wanted to help Ximu deal with the harassment from the nobles at the dinner party, but it turned out that the so-called banquet was just... chaos in private.

"It's okay, it's good to chat." Ximu said casually, walked into the dark room and sat next to Siegfried.

Seeing this, Leticia sat in a slightly far corner, trying not to disturb the communication between Akhtar and Siegfried.

Of course, she can also choose to leave now, but this may trigger a very bad result, that is, Siegfried will call back the beauties who left.

So, I still chose to stay.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere became lively. Siegfried took a sip of wine and suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, do you... know anything about dragons?"

Ximu shook his head and lied without changing his expression: "I don't know, I've never even seen a dragon."

"Then do you want to meet him?" Siegfried smiled and poured himself a glass of wine. He looked at the liquid in the glass.

"How about starting by killing a cursed dragon?" He took out a map, handed it to Ximu, and explained:

"The giant dragon that escaped from Lionheart City seems to have been cursed deep into his bones because he happened to be near the source of the disaster."

"Now he is a little delirious. He is hiding in a valley to recover from his injuries. Even if he is left alone, he will die sooner or later."

"Do you want to end his suffering?"

Ximu lowered his head and looked at the X mark, and found that this time Siegfried gave the location of the side mission, which had undergone a huge change.

However, this should be the result of game optimization. The address of the cursed dragon that escaped from Lionheart City was randomly refreshed.

This undoubtedly adds freshness to veteran players.

"Okay, I'll kill him." He nodded and agreed, not nervous at all about the fact that he was going to conquer the dragon.

After all, dragons have a lot of experience points. I remember that he was stuck in the first week and couldn't beat the queen of the magic kingdom no matter what. He just went around to kill dragons to increase his level. In the end, he used absolute hard power, that is, level suppression to kill the queen of the magic kingdom.

So, he was very happy to kill dragons.

"Hahaha, this is considered practicing killing dragons in advance." Siegfried laughed and raised his glass to clink with Ximu.

"But even a dying dragon is not easy to deal with. It still takes a while to prepare well, at least to complete the basic knowledge of magic."

"Are you planning to teach?" Ximu drank the liquor, and his eyes seemed a little drunk, revealing expectations.

In response, Siegfried smiled and said, "As a king, I am very busy. How about arranging a teacher for you at the magic academy?"

"Okay." Ximu agreed readily, although he had no interest in learning magic at all. Anyway, those learned magics could not be stronger than ten kinds of shadow magic.

However, with a magician teacher, it is easier to open the branch story of the magic kingdom, and it is convenient for him to join the rebels to kill the magic queen.

Even if he doesn't want to kill the magic queen, he can defect and help the magic queen to kill the rebels.

Anyway, you can harvest a lot of experience points.

"Then you can meet him tomorrow." Siegfried smiled, "Although he is a guy without talent, it is precisely because of his lack of talent that he has studied the basic magic knowledge very deeply."

His words revealed carelessness.

"It is enough to use him to supplement your basic magic knowledge. If you feel dissatisfied, you can replace him at any time."

...

...

The next day.

In the castle courtyard.

Ximu met the magic teacher, a bald man wearing a somewhat old magic robe. His expression was a little restrained. He didn't have the strength of a teacher at all. Instead, he looked like a humble... servant. His slightly curled body seemed to imply that he was completely non-aggressive.

Shameful... No, he was a guy with low self-esteem and no confidence.

"Hello, I'm your magic teacher, Butch." The man wanted to raise his chest slightly, but after seeing Ximu's calm gaze, he retracted it again.

"I will be responsible for teaching you magic knowledge in the future."

"Understood, teacher." Ximu responded casually, and Butch's face looked much better. This student seemed to be easy to get along with.

He took a deep breath.

"Do you understand the utilization rate of magic power?"

"No." Ximu shook his head, glanced at the red-haired princess under the tree not far away, and then calmly withdrew his sight.

Butch smiled, his expression was much more confident, and he raised a finger to point to the flower next to him: "Although every magician has magic power, there are differences in the use of magic power. The more powerful the magician, the stronger the utilization rate of magic power."

As soon as he finished speaking, magic power burst out from his fingertips, directly smashing the flower, and the magic power used was negligible.

"To learn magic, it is important to understand what magic power is."
