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

"I never thought before that my sister would seize the throne and want to kill me." Leticia put her hands behind her back and walked slowly on the path in the forest.

She whispered to Xi Mu behind her.

"She has always been very well-behaved and very cute."

"Perhaps someone bewitched your sister?" Ximu said in a guessing tone, and Leticia slowed down slightly after hearing this.

She turned around and raised her hand to lightly touch the hair beside her ears.

"It would be great if this is really the case. After all, I really don't want to fight swords with my sister."

"Leave it to me to wield the sword." Ximu raised his hand and patted Leticia's shoulder gently, looking towards the mountain village not far away.

Next, it’s time for cutscenes, and we will explain the current situation of the Land of Iris.

after a while.

The two came outside the mountain village and did not rush into the village to investigate the situation. Instead, they observed from a distance to confirm whether there was any danger.

"They are all old people, children, and women, but there are no young adults." Ximu withdrew his gaze and analyzed Leticia.

"If all the young and middle-aged people go out to work, there is only one reason. I am afraid they did not leave the village voluntarily."

"Sister, what exactly does she want to do?" Leticia frowned. From the perspective of Iris' heir, she absolutely disagreed with removing all the young adults from a village. After all, farming and hunting require young people. prime of life.

Moreover, for the Country of Iris, apart from facing pirates, there are not many threats, so there is no need to maintain too much military strength.

There is simply no need for too many young adults to serve as soldiers.

But if she is not a soldier and young adults are not allowed to work, then why did her sister recruit so many young adults.

And right now.

"Your Highness, you are finally back!" A surprised voice came, and an old man with a cane in his hand and a long white beard was seen, with an excited look on his face.

"Please hurry up and save the country of Iris!"

What a professional looking NPC.

Ximu thought silently, but took two steps back. He watched Leticia and the old village chief communicate, and began to wander.

After all, he was too familiar with the plot.

"Sorry, I came back late." Leticia said guiltily, and then began to ask, "Village chief, can you explain to us the situation in the Country of Iris."

She turned to look at Ximu behind her.

"We have only returned to the Land of Iris not long ago."

"Yes." The village chief was indeed very conscientious and began to talk about the current situation. His eyes were far away, looking in the direction of the palace:

"After you went to meet the gods, Princess Ashelia suddenly launched a coup. Not only did she imprison His Majesty the King, but she also forced all the young men of Iris to build a temple on the volcano to enshrine some kind of sacred fire."

"Temple and sacred fire, what exactly are they?" Leticia asked. Her sister Ashlia's belief in the gods was a temporary mentality. Only when life was not going well or encountered corresponding difficulties, Only then can I pray to the gods.

He has never had a firm belief in any god. What stands out is his pragmatism.

It is unlikely that a temple will be built specifically for a god.

"I don't know, I just know that Princess Ashelia is very anxious about building the temple." The village chief shook his head and tugged on his beard.

"But I heard that Princess Ashlia was able to successfully seize power because she had the support of the dwarves, and the establishment of the temple was also a demand of the dwarves."

After hearing this, Leticia thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to Ximu, who was holding his arms across his chest, and asked:

"Sir Akhtar, do you have any ideas?"

"How to get to the temple?" Ximu asked, looking at the surprised old village chief, and explained, "Since the temple is so important, it is naturally necessary to investigate."

In fact, he could continue to ask for a lot of information, such as whether Ashelia had shown extraordinary power or said anything meaningful.

If you are a patient player, you can piece together very critical information from these fragmented information.

But he is not interested in this information. Anyway, if he knows this information, if he doesn't understand this information, he will go on a killing spree.

And he already knew the plot very well.

"Aren't you too anxious to go directly to the temple to investigate?" Leticia hesitated a little. She didn't really want to act too recklessly.

In response, Ximu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I am very good at sneaking?"

"...Okay." Leticia hesitated slightly and agreed decisively. She remembered Akhtar's stealth skills that were even more killer than killers.

Moreover, she also wants to restore stability to the Iris Country as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, please don't be impulsive!" the old village chief quickly advised, and then looked at Ximu with dissatisfaction.

Then he noticed Ximu's cold gaze and couldn't help but feel fear.

"This...maybe not considered impulsive. I believe in His Excellency Akhtar's ability." Leticia smiled lightly, her emerald green eyes filled with tenderness.

She really trusted Akhtar.

"Okay, but it must have been a hard journey along the way." The old village chief smiled kindly and pointed to the village, "Let's take a rest first."

"Okay." Ximu unexpectedly agreed first, and then walked into the village with the old village chief.

Soon after.

The village chief's house.

"Let's have a cup of tea." The old village chief brought two cups of tea and placed them on the table. He smiled kindly and turned around with his cane.

"I'll go get you some food."

"Wait." Ximu reached out and pressed on the old village chief's shoulder, picked up the teacup on the table, "Village chief, drink a cup first."

"That's not necessary!" The old village chief began to panic, but Ximu showed no mercy, pinched the old village chief's mouth, and poured the tea down.

Leticia, who was beside him, witnessed this scene and did not stop him, watching Ximu pour the tea into the old village chief's mouth.

Then the old village chief pinched his throat with both hands, fell to the ground and twitched in pain, foaming at the mouth, and soon lost his voice.

Obviously, the cup of tea was poisonous.

"He acted too eager, as if he was afraid that we would run away." Ximu looked at the corpse of the village chief on the ground.

In the first round, he was successfully poisoned by this old village chief. When he reloaded the file, he found that this old village chief was not a good person.

If he was not killed immediately, the old village chief would leak the news of Leticia's return.

"Village leader, it should be for the bounty." Leticia's voice was calm, but her emerald eyes contained a trace of sadness.

Ximu did not speak when he saw this, but walked out of the room with the Hunting King Great Sword, and then there were wailing and begging for mercy.

...

...

At the same time.

Temple.

A red-haired dwarf sat cross-legged on the edge of the crater, his pupils containing crazy will looked into the distance, and then turned his head to look at the princess with long golden hair beside him.

"Your sister is back."

"So what?" Frowning, Ashiliya looked unhappy, "My sister is back, should I tremble with fear?"

She crossed her arms.

"I am the one who has the advantage now!"

"Hahaha... It just seems to have the advantage." The red-haired dwarf sneered, looking at Ashiliya who was holding on, and said:

"As long as the subsequent reinforcements from the Sky City arrive, you will have no chance of winning."

Ashiliya did not speak.

Although the Iris Kingdom is not weak, it cannot be compared with a big country like the Sky City, whether in terms of financial resources or military strength.

There is no chance of winning.

"How about surrender?" The red-haired dwarf smiled, and saw Ashley looked at him coldly.

But he didn't care at all.

"If you don't want to surrender, you can only find a way to unlock the seal of the Sword of Light, otherwise, you... have no chance of winning."

Ashley heard this and asked, "How long will it take to unlock the seal?"

The red-haired dwarf touched his chin, then stretched out his hand, and saw a ball of crazy flames ignited, directly burning his palm flesh and blood into charcoal, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, but showed a fascinated look.

"It will take at least seven days. The seal imposed by the Sword of Light can only be used by people with noble souls."

He closed his palm, the flames went out, and his flesh and blood instantly regenerated, as if he had never been injured.

"Your soul is full of jealousy, meanness, darkness, and greed. If you don't unlock the seal of the Sword of Light, you will never be able to use it."

"At least it's better than a madman like you." Ashiya looked at the red-haired dwarf with a sarcastic look. If her soul is mean and dark, then the red-haired dwarf's soul is crazy, a madman, an abnormal person.

In response, the red-haired dwarf frankly admitted: "Yes, what you said makes sense."

Aishiya: "..."

"Anyway, what are you going to do next?" The red-haired dwarf scratched his head and looked at the young and middle-aged men carrying huge stones under the volcano.

"With your sister's ability, I believe she will soon be able to find out our situation and then call for reinforcements from the Sky City."

At this point, his face became solemn.

"We've agreed in advance that if the army of Sky City really comes, we'll have to retreat strategically."

"Where can you cultists retreat to?" Ashiliya snorted disdainfully, and the red-haired dwarf also showed a tangled expression when he heard it. He pulled his beard and looked up at the sky.

"Then...why don't we get rid of your sister in advance?"

"You want to do it yourself?" Ashiliya's eyes lit up slightly. Although she didn't know the specific strength of the red-haired dwarf, she knew it was not simple.

"Not me." The red-haired dwarf clapped his hands, and a red-haired loli jumped out of the crater behind him, holding two exaggerated hammers in both hands.

"My daughter, she will cooperate with your actions."

Aishiliya looked a little doubtful: "Can she really do it?"

"Let me hammer you?" The cute dwarf girl raised the exaggerated big iron hammer with one hand, "Anyway, I can't wait to hammer you to death."

"Okay, let's try it first." Nodding, Ashiliya took the dwarf girl away, and the red-haired dwarf stood up and looked at the altar in the crater.

The Sword of Light was inserted on the altar.

But except for the royal family of the Iris Kingdom, no one else can use it... No, to be more precise, only Leticia can use it.

And the royal family of the Iris Kingdom is only qualified to touch it.

The sealed Sword of Light can only be used by people with noble souls, and it is limited to the royal family of the Iris Kingdom. Anyone who touches it will be burned by the high temperature, and if they continue to use it forcefully, it will be evaporated by the high temperature.

...

...

At night.

The royal city.

The square.

A young girl with long aqua blue hair and a mature figure, with her hands tied, stood in front of the gallows, looking extremely desperate.

She is the daughter of the Duke and a close friend of Leticia. They have always had a very good relationship since childhood and often sleep in the same bed.

So, she was arrested for treason.

The reason is that she colluded with Leticia and intended to rebel. Today, she will be executed in public.

Unless Leticia comes out to save her life.

"Leticia, isn't she your friend?" Next to her, a cute dwarf girl chewed a small dried fish.

"Why don't they come to save you?" She looked around vigilantly, looking for Leticia and the silver knight who might appear at any time.

The girl with long blue hair was so disappointed that she gritted her teeth and said, "You just issued the notice in the afternoon. Even if they are lucky enough to see it, they may not have time to come!"

"You make sense." The dwarf Loli nodded and said in an indifferent tone, "But Leticia has more friends, so she can kill them slowly."

The blue-haired girl was silent.

According to normal logic, Ashleya shouldn't have attacked her, but she did it without considering the consequences.

And at this moment.

"Bang!" A magic arrow suddenly pierced the gallows. The dwarf loli looked alert, holding two big hammers in both hands.

But after a slight sniff, her expression changed drastically.

"Despicable, poisoned!" Cursing, the dwarf loli fled in a panic, and at the moment she escaped from the gallows, a figure in a cloak appeared, and a girl with long water blue hair ran away.

At the same time.

Near the square.

Ximu put down the meteorite bow and jumped off the roof. He didn't run away immediately, looking at the loli running wildly in the distance, holding two big hammers.

Pull the bow.

Aim.

Then, the aggressive dwarf loli slowed down her pace, and didn't dare to rush over directly, fearing that she would be shot to death by an arrow.

"It's too despicable to threaten with hostages." Ximu smiled and challenged the dwarf loli, "Let's fight to the death outside the village of Carton tomorrow?"

The dwarf loli raised her eyebrows: "One-on-one?"

"Since it's a war, there is no limit on the number of people." Ximu stepped back step by step, grinning, "You can arrange as many people as you want."

"Ha... Are you serious?" The dwarf loli was stunned, looking at the silver knight with suspicion, wondering if this guy was sick.

Originally, she thought her father was a psychopath, but now it seems that this guy is even more psychopathic than her father.

He actually wanted to challenge a country alone.

"You have a misunderstanding of the national strength of this country." Ximu explained, loosened the bowstring, and shot out with a meteorite arrow.

When the dwarf loli swung his double hammers and took the arrow, he turned and went into the alley, disappearing without a trace.
