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

"Can we also get the favor of God?" Martha's expression was complicated, and then she saw Ximu's subtle expression.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"You are questioning my belief in the goddess of life." Ximu retorted unhappily, which made Martha stunned for a moment, and then opened her mouth and said:

"Sorry, I shouldn't question your piety." She lowered her head and said with some shame. Since Akhtar has been able to get the favor of the goddess of life, it means that Akhtar does have a heart of faith.

Although she couldn't understand why Ximu could believe in the goddess and the witch at the same time.

"I forgive you." Ximu nodded slightly, and then walked out of the church, and Martha immediately chased after him.

After a while.

Ximu came to a remote commercial street, where most of the goods sold were alchemical props for alchemy, and also sold some alchemical props that could not be sold openly on the market.

For example, if you drink a drop of the pink potion, you will be infatuated. Another example is that it looks like a treasure chest, but as soon as you open it, dozens of tentacles will emerge, and instinctively drill into any gap with a heat source, thereby restricting the enemy's actions.

In short, many alchemical tools and potions with dangerous properties are strictly prohibited by the church and the state from private production, but it is not impossible to buy them.

Alchemical tools that want to circulate on the market need to be approved by the church and the state, but if the products are customized privately, there will be regulatory issues.

Wandered around for a while.

Came to a small shop.

"..." Ximu looked at the doorplate, then walked in, and the first thing that caught his eye was, no... to be more precise, the first thing that attracted people's attention was a pair of fleshy white legs, followed by very full mountains.

Looking up again, there was a book on advanced element theory that blocked his face.

"Choose what you want to buy." The girl put down the book that was blocking her face. Her pretty face revealed fatigue. Her shoulder-length brown hair was a little frizzy. Her voice was weak, as if she might die suddenly at any time.

But soon she became energetic.

"I want to buy a sleeping pot." Ximu came close to the girl and said lightly, but the girl was frightened and trembled all over when she heard it. She looked around in panic and refuted without thinking.

"Our store doesn't sell that kind of dangerous items." After saying that, he subconsciously observed the surroundings and found that no guards came with him. This was a relief.

"You have." Ximu said firmly, and his cold eyes seemed to see through the girl's guilty conscience, and then he withdrew his eyes.

"Come, let's talk privately." He walked to the back of the store without saying anything, and the girl hesitated when she saw this, but chose to follow him in.

This time, Martha didn't continue to follow. She leaned against the door and waited silently, her thoughts drifting away, and she fell into a state of confusion.

Why that man can be favored by the goddess of life.

Behind the shop.

"Shh, listen to me quietly." Ximu smiled and raised a finger to quiet the girl with short brown hair.

This NPC is called Leila, an alchemist from a civilian background. This also led to Leila not having enough money to support the expensive profession of alchemy, so she occasionally sold some alchemy items that were banned by the government in secret.

And the sleeping pot is Leila's selling item.

Of course, it is impossible to buy this hidden alchemy item by normal means. You need to brush the favorability to a certain level. Only then will Leila tell the player that there is a sleeping pot.

However, brushing the favorability is too slow, and coercion is also an option.

"You sold three sleeping pots to Rona, right?" Ximu said with a smile, and looked at Leila's silent look with her head down, and added another sentence.

"My teacher is Hecate."

"..."

Lila looked up suddenly when she heard this, and looked at the grinning man in front of her. She couldn't help but take a step back. It was well known in the academy that Hecate accepted students. Even a little transparent person like her knew about it.

After a moment of silence, she bit her lower lip.

"What do you want?"

"..."

Ximu didn't answer immediately. He looked at Leila who was uneasy and began to think wildly, until he confirmed that she was nervous to a certain extent.

He smiled and said.

"Just sell me the sleeping pot, and I guarantee that you can graduate successfully and become a teacher in the future."

Lila asked nervously, "Really?"

"Do you have a choice?" Ximu asked back, looking at Leila's stiff expression, raised his hand and patted her shoulder.

"I'll come to get ten sleeping pots in two days." After that, he turned and left, and Leila, who was left there, was entangled.

She thought of her parents and the villagers who raised money for her to study, and gradually made a choice.

No matter what, she must stand out and bring hope to her hometown.

…

…

After a while.

Hotel.

"Boss~you're back." A familiar greeting came, Ximu looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Jed walking towards him.

"Who is this?" Jed glanced at Marda beside Ximu, and immediately felt that the other party was not a simple woman.

In response, Marda smiled and explained:

"This is a new friend of your boss."

"Boss, you are so popular with women." Jed sighed, as if there would never be a lack of beautiful women around her boss.

Ximu smiled: "Not bad."

In fact, if you want, you can be very popular with men, but he is not interested in popularity with men, unless they are people with special fetishes.

Jed nodded, and did not dwell on this topic. He invited Ximu and Marda to the living room, and then prepared to make tea.

"Three cups of tea?" Ximu asked, which made Jed stunned for a moment. She looked at the sofa and saw Marda sitting opposite the boss, and there was no third person.

"Got it, boss." She agreed readily, brewed three cups of tea and put them on the table, and then returned to her room.

Ximu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Marda did not speak immediately, looking at Hecate who was sipping tea on the side, and fell into a brief silence. If Ximu had not asked for three cups of tea before, she would not have noticed the existence of Hecate, who was so close.

"You are a spy, right?" Hecate put down the teacup, smiled at Marda across from her, and said softly:

"Considering that you have never done anything to my apprentice, I allow you to leave the hotel alive."

"It seems that I can't leave the hotel at will." Marda stood up and said goodbye to Ximu.

"Sir Akhtar, see you tonight." She waved her hand and went to get a room for herself to avoid spending too much time with Hecate, the witch.

Ximu asked, "Teacher, are you letting her go just like that?"

"Apprentice, it's like you believe in the goddess and the witch at the same time." Hecate smiled, "Cultists can also cooperate with the church."

She drank a sip of tea.

"Marda is both a spy and a contact person for the church."

"What a surprise." Ximu said in surprise, and then quickly calmed down, accepting the setting that Marda was a spy and a middleman.

Hecate was very satisfied with this.

"Master is glad that you can accept this fact quickly."

"At least she doesn't believe in the goddess and the witch at the same time." Ximu said with a smile.

At the beginning of the first round, he was still struggling with the game camp, whether to choose the witch or the goddess.

However, when his strength improved in the later stage and he could easily suppress the goddess and the witch, he no longer had the idea of ​​choosing a camp.

Instead, he chose to have them all.

"Remember to keep this spirit of daring to try and explore in the future." Hecate chuckled and took out a pile of books.

"Master doesn't have much time to teach you at night, so let's make up for it now."

Ximu: "..."

Forget it, just listen to Hecate's lectures to help you sleep. He adjusted his mentality and followed the gentle lecture sound into his ears.

Then he fell down on the sofa.

Hecate gently put down the book in her hand, looked down at the apprentice who was resting on her knees, raised her hand and touched the apprentice's head.

In fact, she had long discovered that her apprentice had hidden many secrets, but she did not intend to ask. After all, she had not known her apprentice for long enough, and she had not let her apprentice completely let down his guard, and she was not... someone who insisted on exploring other people's secrets.

A moderate sense of distance would make the relationship better.

And at this moment.

When Yaslaqi came back, she glanced at the sofa and saw that Ximu was resting his head on an invisible person. Combined with the three cups of tea on the table, she immediately analyzed who the invisible figure was.

"Quiet~" Hecate's figure emerged and whispered to Yaslaqi, as if she did not want Yaslaqi to disturb her apprentice's rest.

Yaslaqi smiled at this and turned back to her bedroom. It was really not easy to find a chance to chat with Hecate.

There was no chance to chat even though it was right in front of her.

At night.

Ximu opened his eyes and then turned around. Hecate, who was above his vision, held a book in one hand and read it intently.

"The agreed time is coming soon." Hecate closed the book, and with the flicker of light, the book disappeared from the spot.

She lowered her head and looked into the eyes of her apprentice.

"There is not much time to stay in bed, apprentice."

"Got it." Ximu stood up, picked up the cold black tea on the table and drank it all. The moment he put down the teacup, the scenery changed.

The night breeze blew, making people feel refreshed.

"Hehehe... everyone is here." Old lady Sethe laughed unpleasantly, looking at the figures of Ximu and Hecate.

"Then let's start discussing cooperation?"

"Three days later, the invasion will be completed." Hecate was concise and had obviously made a decision long ago, "You just need to get rid of everyone who is close to the library."

Old lady Sethe nodded: "Okay."

"It doesn't matter." The murderer Jack waved his hand, not interested in the specific plan at all. Anyway, for him, as long as he could kill people, it was enough.

"Then I don't care." The bloody countess smiled charmingly and didn't care much about her plan.

However, Martha asked a question, her voice was obviously serious: "Is it enough to just stop them from getting close?"

"Yes." Hecate nodded. She only needed a very short time to completely control the life and death of the magic queen. Even a few seconds would not matter. As long as she could create such an environment, she could complete the ritual of turning into a witch.

At this moment, Aleister, who had been flipping through the tarot cards, suddenly pulled out a tarot card.

"The trip went smoothly."

"Have you finished talking so quickly?" Martha said in surprise. She was originally discussing the specific invasion plan.

Hecate explained this.

"I will take you into the palace in three days. You just need to block the four doors that invade the Great Library."

...

...

Two days later.

Night.

Outside the blacksmith shop.

"How is my craft?" The dwarf master smiled, very confident in his skills. He not only perfectly upgraded the Red Dragon Blood Armor, but also made a golden needle.

Ximu touched the Red Dragon Blood Armor on the table, and then turned his eyes to the golden needle. This alone was enough to temporarily suppress Surtur's fire.

He took the golden needle and observed it, and nodded:

"No problem."

The dwarf master smiled: "This is called value for money."

Ximu didn't say much, and began to wear the Red Dragon Blood Armor, moved his body, and then took out Aslaqi's bank card.

He paid the money and turned around and left.

Then he went to a remote commercial street, took the sleeping pot made by Leila, and bought a large number of magic potions.

After thorough preparations,

Ximu ran to the slums again, and like a ghost, he killed the assassins who came to assassinate him, and harvested the experience points accumulated in the past two days.

And this time the assassins were obviously of much higher quality, all affected by the fire of Surtur and turned into firewood.

"The idea is correct."

Ximu drew back the knife and looked at the body of the fallen dwarf, his cold eyes were emotionless. This group of dwarves... wanted to use this suicidal method to constantly stimulate the fire of Surtur in his body, so that he would fall into madness and become a madman who wanted to burn the world.

But unfortunately, he was not infected and would not fall into madness.

The good news is that he really wants to take the ash route and burn everything in this world into ashes. Their behavior of constantly sending experience packs is indeed helping the world to be destroyed.

In a sense, it is worth dying.

[Host, host... Do you want to hear some good news? ] The voice of the system suddenly came, making Ximu frown.

He squatted down and stroked the body of the dwarf.

Black flames rose, and the body turned into ashes.

[After Hecate becomes a witch, as long as the host works a little harder, there is hope to capture the first witch! ]

"What then?" Ximu asked, "What good will this do for me? Can it help me speed through the game?"

The system was silent for a moment: [Aren't you attracted to Hecate? ]

From His perspective, someone like Hecate should be very attractive to the host.

Ximu explained: "I've experienced it, and I'm not very interested now."
