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

[...] The system was silent for a moment, watching the host leave the alley, and began to feel a little panicked. It was already worried that the host would do something irreparable.

If the host kills his teacher after killing the Magic Queen, the truth will be discovered in the future.

I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, he decided to test it and asked in a chatting tone: [Host, do you think there is any difference between games and life? 】

"Why do you have to think about these questions when playing games?" Ximu asked, and then replied:

"But if you have to answer, there is a difference."

[Is it because reality cannot be repeated? 】The system began to get excited. As long as the host recognized his words, he could persuade the host that every game is equal to a life. A game completed with complete stealth technology is completely different from the past games.

Then from the perspective of physical and mental health, he persuaded the host not to go to extremes when playing games, but to experience it well with a Second Life attitude.

However.

Ximu thought for a while and answered: "Maybe it's because there are too many players in this game, and the starting conditions are too different."

system:【……】

Although he felt that what the host said made sense, he felt that something was not quite right.

But something is wrong.

…

…

at the same time.

On top of the wooden tower in the ghetto.

"I still feel something is wrong." Martha withdrew her gaze. She deliberately observed Xi Mu and found that this man... was very dangerous and impractical.

But I can’t tell you exactly.

"I think he's very handsome."

A charming laugh came, and Martha turned to look at the place where the sound came from, only to see the Bloody Countess, sitting elegantly on the guardrail of the tower.

She raised her hand to gently touch the hair beside her ears.

"With a rapid improvement in strength, a very handsome appearance, and a background as a witch, he can be said to be a very perfect... man."

Martha was silent for a moment and asked: "Does he still think you are handsome even if he completely ignores your existence?"

In the process of getting along with Ximu, she had already discovered that she was in a state of being ignored by Akhtar. It would be better to say that she was still a person who was slightly looked at by Akhtar.

The Bloody Countess was completely ignored.

"It's just a personal evaluation of him and has nothing to do with how he views me." The Bloody Countess shook her head and smiled at Martha, "The moon is unreachable and treats everyone equally. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

In fact, when she met Akhtar for the first time, she noticed Akhtar's indifference and did not care about her existence at all.

Even if his eyes stayed on her chest for a moment, he quickly pulled away.

To put it bluntly, the Bloody Countess is a beauty, and countless people are obsessed with her charm and pursue her crazily.

And she also knows that her extraordinary charm is her capital.

But Akhtar didn't care about her charm. There seemed to be something more attractive to Akhtar.

As a result, Akhtar was completely indifferent to her beauty.

"It just doesn't feel right with him." Martha frowned, thinking about where she felt the disharmony, "That feeling is like... well, how should I describe it."

The Bloody Countess looked at Martha in distress and seemed to have difficulty expressing her feelings. She smiled charmingly:

"I'll give you a piece of advice: stay as far away from that man as possible in the future, otherwise you will die because of him sooner or later."

Martha cast a doubtful look.

"It's just because I used to be surrounded by more men, so I have a little understanding of the male species." The Bloody Countess stretched out her body, outlining her attractive figure.

"His eyes are not confused, which means he has a clear goal. If your presence can help him achieve his goal, or prevent him from approaching the goal, he will be ruthlessly trampled to the ground and your corpse will be turned into a The ladder of progress.”

Martha nodded and said with a smile: "If it is the judgment of the Bloody Countess, it is still worthy of trust."

"But if someone's value can exceed the goal he wants." The bloody countess suddenly changed her subject, "Maybe that man can change."

"Like you?" Martha looked at the bloody countess with a charming smile, and then received a charming eye roll.

"Of course not." The Blood Countess covered her lips and smiled, "Have you forgotten that he is the witch's pretty boy?"

Her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"As a small character, don't get close to characters who are difficult to control."

Martha: "..."

So should she continue to have contact with Akhtar? She feels that something will happen if she continues to have contact with him.

…

…

at the same time.

At the hotel.

"If you want to refuse, just refuse." Aslaqi sat elegantly on the sofa, crossing her slender legs, looking at Ximu holding the invitation letter opposite, and chuckled:

"Anyway, even if you attend the banquet, you will only be asked about your stance by the academic and royal factions."

Ximu shook the invitation: "Are you invited too?"

Not long ago, he received an invitation from the nobles of the Magic Kingdom, inviting him to attend a banquet.

Aslaqi nodded and smiled: "They seem to be very eager to get the support of Sky City, although it doesn't matter to me."

The situation in the Magic Kingdom is very complicated now. They are all looking for external aid, trying to strengthen their own strength and overwhelm the other side.

And the Sky City is a force worth winning over.

"Then let's go and take a look." Ximu made a decision and smiled at Yasura, "Teacher will also attend the banquet."

"It seems that it is not a simple banquet." Yasuraqi smiled expectantly, raised her hand and put it on her chest, "Well~ I will go with you, as a female companion?"

Ximu nodded: "Then I will leave it to you to deal with them."

He didn't care about who was around to deal with the NPCs, as long as he didn't waste time communicating with the group of NPCs.

And this banquet was quite interesting.

At night.

The moment he stepped into the banquet, the red carpet under his feet felt soft, the fragrance from food and red wine rushed into his nose, and the slightly cold air made him refreshed.

"..." Ximu looked around the banquet, and then felt a slight pull on his arm. He saw Yaslaqi wearing a gorgeous red dress, hooking his wrist very naturally and leading him into the banquet.

It seemed that because of Yaslaqi's extraordinary momentum and oppression, few people dared to approach her at the banquet. Only some people who thought they were in a high position dared to come to Yaslaqi to talk to her, and then politely left after exchanging some opinions.

However, after Yaslaqi leaned close to Ximu's ear and said that she was going to the toilet and left temporarily, someone took the initiative to approach her.

With a glass of red wine placed in front of Ximu, a man with short blond hair and handsome looks sat next to Ximu very naturally.

His emerald green eyes were gentle and smiling.

"Akhtar, right?"

Ximu looked at the man sitting next to him and asked, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, why do you have time to come to me, a nobody?"

"..."

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, "You are Hecate's apprentice, who can ignore your existence?"

Ximu nodded slightly, not knowing whether he believed it or not, but he didn't hate the Fourth Prince chatting with him.

This guy has a good reputation among the players. Although he is often called the gay prince by the players, he is not really a gay.

That is, the brotherhood is a little... strong, and sometimes his words can be misunderstood, but he is indeed not a gay.

At least he has never heard that the male player has attacked the Fourth Prince.

"I really envy you." The Fourth Prince picked up the red wine glass on the table, handed it to Ximu beside him, and then gently clinked the glass with him.

"It must be great to be loved by a teacher like Hecate?"

Ximu thought for a while and replied: "It is indeed very great. The teacher is a very gentle and good woman."

"Ah... is that so." The expression of the fourth prince became subtle. He did not agree with what Ximu said. After all, according to the information he investigated, Hecate was an extremely dangerous woman who would do anything to pursue the ultimate in magic.

Not to mention a good woman, even gentleness is hard to touch.

"You seem to have a different opinion of the teacher?" Ximu took a sip of red wine, and his eyes showed some doubts.

The fourth prince thought for a while and smiled:

"It seems that Ms. Hecate loves you, her apprentice."

"Maybe." Ximu did not talk about this in depth. As for why Hecate loves him, it is both fate and his uniqueness.

In a nutshell, the game officials want to set up a queen character who loves the player, and then infer why Hecate loves the player.

He said he liked it very much and hoped to communicate with the teacher further so that he could vent his love for the teacher.

Instead of enduring and restraining all the time.

"But considering that you are all... geniuses, it is understandable." The fourth prince suddenly said with a smile.

Ximu was silent after hearing this, raised his wine glass and touched it with the fourth prince, and after drinking the red wine.

The fourth prince continued:

"Now you... are very similar to Ms. Hecate in the past. You are obviously in a lively banquet, but you are isolated from everyone."

"Really?" Ximu smiled and gently shook the red wine glass. Is it the result of the optimization of the game system? He had never heard the fourth prince say such words before.

The fourth prince leaned back on the chair, raised the red wine glass, and observed the banquet hall through the wine. "In the eyes of Hecate at that time, everyone was mediocre, and they didn't even have the interest to communicate."

He laughed heartily.

"Now you are just as arrogant, which is why everyone dare not take the initiative to approach you."

"Genius is always lonely." A playful laugh came, and the fourth prince looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Aslaqi walking back.

She pulled out a chair and sat next to Ximu.

"And they didn't dare to come closer, not because Akhtar was too arrogant, but because they knew they couldn't have effective communication."

The fourth prince thought about it and smiled, "That seems to be right, if you look at it from a purely utilitarian point of view."

He took a sip of red wine.

"But I communicated with Mr. Akhtar purely because I was interested in him. After all, I am a...mediocre person, no matter what aspect."

"This is completely invisible." Aslaqi observed the fourth prince and saw that he was well-dressed and very approachable. He was considered a qualified prince. It was difficult to find any shortcomings, but it seemed that he could not find any outstanding ones. advantage.

"Compared to Sir Akhtar, I am completely an ordinary person." The fourth prince said very frankly, "I have tried my best to maintain the posture that a prince should have."

He smiled wryly.

"If I had Lord Akhtar's talents, I might be able to solve the current predicament of the Magic Kingdom."

Aslaqi's focus was different, and she frowned and said, "Do you know Akhtar very well?"

"Since I am Hecate's student, I will naturally understand it immediately." The fourth prince did not hide anything, looked at Ximu and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Akhtar's life experience is truly legendary." He raised his glass and touched the wood, "I believe that stories about Your Excellency Akhtar will spread in the near future."

"..." Ximu didn't answer. He just took a sip of red wine and was not interested in the so-called heroic stories.

The astrologers in this game are very interested in spreading heroes or epics. As long as the players achieve corresponding achievements, they will be spread among the astrologers.

When players go to other maps, they will find that the NPC already knows them and knows their deeds well, bragging about them to the point where players feel like they are floating.

Titles such as the hero who slayed the dragon, the savior of the kingdom, the great adventurer, etc. are thrown at you, fully satisfying the players' vanity.

Occasionally, you will encounter an NPC who knows the player, and before the fight begins, he will kneel down and admit defeat at the speed of light, offering treasures to beg for his life.

The more legendary deeds there are, the more famous the player will be in this world, and they will receive special treatment in any country they visit.

For example, if he becomes a dragon-slaying hero and goes to the Dragon Empire alone, he must be in a state of disgust.

But you will be treated politely in the human world.

And right now.

"Ah~ what happened!" A lady exclaimed, looking at the city guards pouring in and blocking every exit of the banquet.

Then an old man wearing a magic robe came and knelt down in front of the fourth prince: "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen has summoned you urgently."

The fourth prince frowned and said, "What happened?"

"Your brothers and sisters were assassinated." The old man's voice contained warning. He looked at the somewhat confused fourth prince and said:

"Please come back to the palace with us."

"..."

The surrounding city guards were on alert and focused their gazes on the fourth prince, as if they were afraid that the fourth prince would escape.

Although it was not stated clearly, everyone could see that the fourth prince was related to this assassination. Maybe it was the fourth prince who planned to assassinate his brothers and sisters.

There was silence.

"Ah~ I'm sorry, Lord Akhtar." The fourth prince drank the red wine and smiled at Ximu, "Originally I wanted to talk to you."

After that, he left with the city guards.

However, when he was about to enter the banquet hall, he happened to meet Hecate and the two passed by her.

The Fourth Prince paused slightly, as if he had said something.
