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

"Thank you." Lotta wanted to stand up, but his trembling legs and pain in his butt made him fall to the ground again.

He put his hands on the ground, raised his buttocks slightly, looked at Ximu with a pleading expression, and said:

"Please help me?"

"..."

Ximu was silent for a moment, then turned around and left indifferently, ignoring the request coming from behind.

Leave the mansion and spend about ten minutes arriving at the dwarf master's blacksmith shop.

At this time, he had changed into a set of clothes and looked like a rich man, even though he got this set of clothes from a noble family.

In front of the blacksmith shop.

The dwarf master held the hammer, looked at the knight outside the palace, scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect you to deliver it so quickly."

"These meteorites can allow you to strengthen your weapons to plus four." Ximu took out a bag of meteorites, and the dwarf master took the meteorites after hearing this, opened the bag and looked at it, confirming that it was indeed the meteorites needed to upgrade the equipment.

Then he asked curiously.

"What does strengthening plus four mean?"

"There is another special weapon that you need to make." Ximu took out a piece of paper and handed it over. It was the design blueprint given to him by the Death Witch for making a golden needle.

The dwarf master took it and looked at it, then looked up at Ximu and asked, "You are infected by the Fire of Surtur, right?"

Ximu didn't answer.

However, the dwarf master started talking to himself, looking very melancholy, "Perhaps because we are the closest ethnic group to Surtur, some dwarves began to worship Surtur. They were crazy to a certain extent. In order to burn I have left this world and am always trying to figure out how to unblock the Fire Giant Surtur.”

He sighed and asked Xi Mu.

"You encountered them, right?"

"..."

Ximu did not answer, and the dwarf sighed when he saw this, his expression showed a little guilt, and he felt pity for this unlucky knight.

He looked down at the blueprint.

"A very exquisite design. As long as the golden needle is successfully created, it can indeed suppress the Fire of Surtur."

Under normal circumstances, people infected by the Fire of Surtur will inevitably die. However, the design of this "golden needle" can actually suppress the Fire of Surtur, although the solution is relatively simple. evil ways.

Since the Fire of Surtur wants to burn life, it only needs to seal "life" and let life reach a state close to death, but without death.

In such a state, Surtur does not have much life to burn, and the vitality overflowing from the seal can ensure that the infected people survive.

The person who designed this set of golden needles seems to have a very good understanding of what it takes for a person to die.

"So can it be done?" Ximu asked again. He had no intention of continuing the conversation with the dwarf master, otherwise it would definitely trigger a series of conversations and reveal some information that he had known for a long time. That was really unnecessary.

The dwarf master was silent for a moment after hearing this, and gently touched the design with his fingers, smiling confidently, "No problem, I am the master of forging."

"I need the golden needle urgently." Ximu added, and the dwarf master laughed when he heard this, looking very confident.

"Understood, I will give priority to creating the golden needle, and I will give you the cost price. I really won't ask for extravagant prices this time."

It's just because you keep asking for prices that you always get hacked to death.

Ximu thought so, but did not say it out loud. He nodded to the dwarf master, and then turned around and left without hesitation.

Now that the matter of forging the golden needle has been completed, he should next think about killing the children of the Magic Queen.

Return to hotel.

Push the door open and enter.

"Boss, you have become more handsome!" A voice of surprise and surprise came. Ximu looked along the place where the voice came from, and saw Jade standing up from the sofa and greeting him.

Jade put his hands behind his back and looked up and down at Ximu in a suit with his lively eyes, seemingly very surprised.

"Boss, you used to wear that armor every day. It seemed like you never dressed up seriously."

Ximu retorted: "Isn't the Red Dragon Blood Armor super handsome?"

In fact, he wears the red dragon blood armor not only because it has the characteristic of increased defense against dragons, but also because the red dragon blood armor is very handsome.

Otherwise, he can now find a more powerful armor, then find a shield that can fully counterattack, and then strengthen both the shield and the armor to the fullest.

At that time, even if he stood still, with this set of armor, most people would not be able to break through the defense.

However, he is not interested in the shield reflux gameplay, not only because it is too bulky, but also not handsome enough to reflect his skills as a multi-game player.

"He is handsome, but he can get tired of it." Jade said, and Ximu looked at Jade with a disappointed look and sighed:

"Are you tired of me?"

"No...no." Geed subconsciously retorted, but Ximu sighed and walked towards the sofa in the living room in disappointment.

When Geed saw this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Wait a minute, boss, don't you think this is weird?"

"No need to explain, I understand." Ximu sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of black tea. Jade twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw this. If anyone heard their conversation, they might misunderstand something.

Aslaqi who was standing by saw this with great interest. She had never thought that Ximu was a rigid knight, otherwise he would not have used so many despicable methods when defeating the dragon, let alone dragging her along. Pay for the wrongdoer.

Therefore, she doesn't feel that there is anything against Xie Mu's bad taste now, and she understands Xie Mu's character.

In essence, he is still an upright knight.

"Boss, won't your conscience hurt if you... bully a maid?" Jade came over and pushed a plate of fruit on the table in front of Ximu.

Her cheeks were slightly bulging, as if she was a little angry.

In response, Ximu shook his head, picked up an apple on the table, took a bite, and said casually: "I have never treated you as a maid."

Having said this, he faced Geed's puzzled gaze.

"Except you can't help me give birth to a baby, it seems like you can help me with anything."

"Boss, should I be happy?" Jade's face fell, while Ximu nodded seriously and said to her:

"Of course you have to be happy. I affirm your value in every aspect."

"Hahaha, it's really a subtle affirmation." Aslaqi laughed out loud. She held her chin in her delicate hand and looked at Geed, whose cheeks were slightly bulging, and smiled.

"But Geed probably also wants you to affirm the value of a lady."

"Lady, I probably can't be counted." Geede is very self-aware. Her previous life was accompanied by death. The blood on her hands was not only that of giants, but also humans, dwarves, elves and other life forms.

It has nothing to do with ladies anyway.

"If you want to learn lady etiquette, I can arrange a teacher for you." Aslaki said with a smile.

Jade shook her head when she heard this. From her point of view, becoming a lady meant restraining her minions, which would make her very insecure.

And the boss doesn’t care whether she is a lady or not.

"It's getting late, I plan to take a rest." Ximu glanced at the sky outside the window and said to the two of them:

"The master will come to me to teach me in the evening, so he needs to maintain his energy."

"Before resting, let's eat first." Aslaqi stood up gracefully and pointed to the door, "Let's go, I will take you to have a good meal."

"What to eat?" Ximu followed him out. This was the advantage of getting along with the rich woman. As long as Aslaqi's favorability reached a certain level, he could save a lot of time in spending money.

After dinner.

Went back to the hotel and rested for a while.

With the sky darkening.

Ximu, who was refining his magic power with his eyes closed, suddenly felt someone beside the bed. He opened his eyes and looked over, only to see his teacher Hecate sitting beside the bed.

Wearing a loose magician's robe, she held her chin with her delicate hands, carefully looked at the awakening apprentice, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Apprentice, you have a good sense of vigilance."

"If you want to assassinate me, teacher, I probably won't even have time to react." Ximu shook his head and sat up.

When Hecate heard this, she looked out the window and said, "The person who wants to assassinate you really exists and is hiding near the hotel."

She looked at her confused apprentice.

"They are followers of the Fire Giant Surtur. They want to snatch your Sword of Light to unseal the Fire Giant Surtur."

Ximu sighed and said as if he was distressed, "It's really annoying."

"Do you need me to help you deal with them?" Hecate asked, and Ximu quickly shook his head and explained to her.

"Since I caused the trouble, let me solve it myself."

Hecate didn't force it. Since the apprentice wanted to solve it by herself, she just had to make sure that the apprentice didn't die.

Everyone has to go through experience to have a chance to grow.

"Then let's start today's lecture." After saying that, she lightly clapped her palms, followed by a sudden change in her vision.

Ximu found that he had reached the rooftop of the hotel. Next to him, Hecate was sitting on the edge of the tall building, looking up at the stars.

"Question, is fate certain?"

"..."

Ximu pretended to think for a moment and said a little uncertainly: "The fate is probably determined. Everyone's fate is reflected in the starry sky."

Speaking of which, he added another sentence.

"And if fate cannot be determined, then the omniscient God...maybe cannot be truly omniscient, so destiny is certain."

Hecate nodded and did not tell her apprentice whether his fate was certain, but asked another question:

"Apprentice, do you want your destiny to be known or unknown?"

"I have never thought about this problem." Ximu replied. He didn't care at all whether his fate was fixed. What he cared about was whether his actions were of his own will.

However, the setting of the game Mystic Door is that the moment the omniscient god was born, the world was destined to be known and certain.

This has nothing to do with the will of the omniscient God, but is inevitable after His birth.

The player's act of hacking the omniscient god to death is a heroic act in terms of consequences.

Of course, the premise is not to go to the Ashes ending.

"Sooner or later, apprentice, you will also have to face this problem." Hecate shook her head without giving an in-depth explanation.

She looked at the sky, the night breeze ruffling her hair.

"Everyone's destiny lies in the starry sky, but there is a group of people whose destiny does not exist in the starry sky."

Ximu nodded: "Witches and demons, right?"

"Yes, they got rid of this restriction." Hecate looked at the stars that represented her own destiny, "Master has no way to see the fate of demons and witches."

That's why you don't know that I have a relationship with the Witch of Death.

Ximu thought, leading the topic, "Teacher also wants his own destiny, not the starry sky?"

"It is to get rid of the starry sky and let your own destiny be free." Hecate did not hide her thoughts from her apprentice.

"It only takes a moment, and the fate of the teacher is separated from the starry sky, and then I can become the Witch of Destiny and look down on destiny from a higher perspective."

"But if you want your own destiny to get rid of the starry sky, only the dead can do it."

Ximu was silent for a while and asked: "Teacher, you... should have a way, right?"

"There is a way, that is to find someone with a similar destiny to me, let her stars cover my destiny, and I will be promoted to a witch." Hecate told the truth, and Ximu showed a thoughtful expression when he heard it.

"Teacher, are you talking about the Queen of Magic?"

At this point, he shook his head again.

"No, if it was the Magic Queen, she would not allow her fate to be manipulated by others."

"The teacher is also in distress." Hecate frowned. If she wanted to completely manipulate a person's fate, the premise was to completely control a person's life and death and thoughts, or to ensure that this person was completely loyal to herself.

And it was obvious that the Magic Queen would not agree.

"Unless something unexpected happened and the Magic Queen's strength was greatly reduced, the teacher would have a chance to manipulate the Magic Queen." Ximu analyzed calmly.

In fact, he came to the Magic Kingdom early. The current Magic Queen was in her prime, and both her magic power and mental state were very good.

If she came three or four months later, the Magic Queen would suddenly die in an accident because of her children, and only the fourth prince who was suspected of murdering his brother and sister would survive.

At that time, the Magic Queen would be hit hard, and she would devote herself to taboo research regardless of everything, wanting to become a witch and resurrect her daughter.

And because of the setting problem, the Magic Queen could never become a witch, which would cause the Magic Queen to be traumatized by the failure of the ritual and her mental state to fall into semi-madness.

At that time, the plot was to cooperate with Hecate to confirm whether the magic queen was weak, until the time was right to invade the palace and capture the magic queen.

As for the four princes who were suspected of killing the brothers and sisters, they would also stand up at this time to say that the brothers and sisters were killed by Teacher Hecate.

The purpose was to guide the magic queen to a path of no return, so as to find an opportunity to seize the country.

There is no need to elaborate on the subsequent plot.

It is nothing more than the four princes giving players a chance to choose whether to stand by the magic queen and fight against the evil and ambitious Hecate together.

Or stand firmly by Hecate to capture the magic queen.
