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

"Isn't it human nature to desire power?" Ximu answered matter-of-factly. He pursued power not to uphold justice, nor because there was someone he wanted to protect, nor to realize any ideal.

It's because you feel happy and satisfied when you become stronger, just like people feel pleasure after eating dessert.

"That's really a valid reason." Hecate nodded slightly and accepted her apprentice's statement. She could understand men's desire for power, which is an impulse rooted deep in the soul, but she did not want her apprentice to become a pure pursuit of power. people.

"Apprentice, power requires wisdom to control." She smiled at Ximu, "If you are really anxious to build the sword of death, my master can help you."

With her current abilities, she would soon be able to locate the meteor that strengthened the Great Sword of Death, and find a suitable forger to forge the Great Sword of Death.

Ximu doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to be patient and learn magic knowledge from her. This is also a reward she gives to her apprentice.

After all, Xuemu paid a lot for her to become a witch, so as a teacher, she couldn't be stingy, let alone helping to build the Great Sword of Death.

Even if Ximu becomes the king of the Magic Kingdom, there will be no problem.

Ximu: "..."

If you follow Hecate's teacher, you can indeed get the Great Sword of Death. This is a reward for helping Hecate become a witch, but the price is that you have to learn magic knowledge from Hecate, and you will also lack the ability to kill. opportunity.

This will undoubtedly slow down the upgrade process.

so.

"Teacher, how about this?" He looked at Hecate's confused eyes and said slowly:

"Just give me the teaching materials that I need to study, and I will study on my own as I go. This will not delay me from improving my strength and supplementing my knowledge."

Hecate looked suspicious and asked: "Apprentice, you won't cheat to become your master, will you?"

"...Teacher, how could I bear to lie to you." Ximu said nonsense seriously, with a particularly serious expression on his face, "If you are worried, you can come and confirm my academic progress after a while."

In fact, he did not intend to study, but this did not prevent him from pretending that he was studying. Anyway, he already knew the content.

When the time comes, just be perfunctory.

"..."

"..."

Hecate looked at her apprentice's serious eyes and knew that even if she tried to stop him, it would be of no use. She shook her head slightly.

"I'm going to prepare learning materials for you." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into starlight and disappeared.

Seeing this, Ximu closed his eyes again and began to rest.

After drinking the potion that continuously restores magic power, he can immediately set off to find his mount, and then find the Magic Queen's meteor.

There are very few meteorites in this world that can add ten, and the Magic Queen's meteorite is one of the few meteorites that can add ten.

Of course, it's not like there aren't other meteors that add ten, but who made the Magic Queen die the closest, so that he could get it as quickly as possible.

And right now.

Jed pushed the door open and walked in. She carried a box full of potions and came to sit next to Ximu. "The money to buy the potions was all paid for by Princess Aslaqi."

She lifted Ximu up and took out a bottle of magic potion.

"Boss, come...ah~"

"..." Ximu opened his mouth and drank the potion handed to his mouth in one gulp. After drinking several bottles in a row, he finally regained his mobility.

He got out of bed and moved around.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Before that, would you like to read the letter from Sister Leticia?" Geed took out a letter and shook it at Ximu.

Ximu took the envelope, glanced at the smiling Geede, and sighed: "Gede, you have done a lot of unnecessary things."

"I want to die quietly and not let Sister Leticia worry." Geed frowned and said as if he was dissatisfied.

"Boss, are you a child?"

"If I die one day, help me return the Sword of Light to Leticia." Ximu took the letter and left.

Jade was silent for a moment when she saw this, and then let out a tired sigh. Everyone around her seemed to have no good end. Her parents were like this, her companions were like this, and today's boss was like this. No one's life was stable. .

"I hope the boss won't die too early." She lay back and covered her eyes with her hands. She was not as lively as she had seen before.

after a while.

Ximu came out of the shower and wiped his head with a towel. He looked towards the living room and saw Aslaqi and Geed sitting next to each other on the sofa, seeming to be discussing with him, but they were watching After he came out, the discussion immediately stopped.

Shaking his head, he came to sit across from the two of them.

"What are you discussing, so excited?"

"We didn't discuss anything important." Geed shook his head, and then said with a smile:

"But boss, can you guess what we are discussing?"

"No guessing." Xi Mu replied immediately. They were just discussing the fact that they were not going to die soon. If they really guessed, they would probably fall into a meaningless discussion.

So it is not necessary to be true.

"Boss, just take a guess~" Jiedra said with a long tail voice and begged pitifully, but Ximu was unmoved and changed the subject.

"By the way, aren't you curious about when you can get married?" He chuckled, "When the teacher comes over later, you can try to ask."

Jed frowned and said, "Now I don't seem to want to know when I will get married, otherwise it will be very... heartbreaking."

"If you need, I can introduce you." Yaslaqi said, and then said jokingly:

"Or do you have someone you like?"

"Why did the topic suddenly shift to me?" Jed turned his head away, not wanting the topic to continue on himself.

Yaslaqi chuckled at this, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Ximu, and said:

"Sir Akhtar, what are your plans next?"

"I will leave the Magic King City in the afternoon." Ximu answered immediately. He planned to leave today. Now there is really no need to stay in the Magic King City.

Although there are many powerful magics in the Magic King City, it doesn't make much sense to him.

"Maybe you can wait." Yaslaqi whispered, "If your teacher can correctly interpret the magic of the Dragonborn, maybe he can prolong your life."

If there is any species in the world with the strongest vitality, her answer is only "dragon".

And the magic of the Dragonborn can give people the power of dragons.

"You plan to give the Dragonborn to the teacher for interpretation?" Ximu showed a surprised expression, as if he was puzzled by the decision.

In response, Yaslaqi nodded: "Perhaps the only person in the world who can correctly interpret the Dragonborn is your teacher."

"That's right." Ximu nodded slightly. There are many people in this world who have strong magical attainments, but they do not have the ability to interpret fate like Teacher Hecate, so Teacher Hecate has a natural advantage in solving puzzles.

So it is normal for Yaslaqi to find Teacher Hecate for interpretation, although even if it is interpreted, there is no way to help Siegfried solve the problem of turning into a dragon.

After all, the essence of the magic of the Dragonborn is to... create a proxy.

"If the interpretation is successful, the boss doesn't have to worry about the life span issue?" Zed suddenly became excited, feeling happy that Ximu didn't die young.

"Maybe." Ximu nodded slightly, "But before confirming that Siegfried can recover, I will not slow down the pace of improving my strength."

He stood up on his knees.

"I will leave on time in the afternoon."

...

...

Afternoon.

A carriage faced the sunset, raised the dust on the ground, and left the Magic King City without any stop.

"If he stays, he can enjoy the glory and wealth in the Magic King City." Yaslaqi stood on the city wall, looking at the carriage disappearing at the end.

She turned her head and looked at Hecate beside her and said:

"Since you can't bear to leave, why don't you try to keep him?"

"..."

Hecate looked at the human girl beside her and asked back: "Do you think I will be kept?"

No.

Yaslaqi immediately got the answer. For a being like Hecate, it is very stubborn... or has its own opinions, and it is difficult for others to interfere.

"My beloved disciple, he is a person very similar to me." Hecate gave the answer, "He doesn't need others to interfere with him with the reason of "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Is this the character of a genius?" Yaslaqi smiled and understood why Hecate didn't stop Ximu from leaving.

From her point of view, Ximu has too many advantages to stay in the Magic King City. Not only is there a strong teacher to protect him, but he can also receive the most top-level teachings and enjoy power only below Hecate.

There is no reason to leave anyway.

But Akhtar left without any hesitation, and he had no nostalgia for the power and wealth that ordinary people desire.

"Send the manuscript of the Dragonborn." Hecate turned gracefully and disappeared on the spot, leaving a sentence.

"Now I have the confidence to correctly interpret the Dragonborn."

Yaslaqi was silent for a while, looking at Ximu leaving and putting it down, raising her hand to gently gather the red hair by her ear, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The sun sets.

The moon rises.

In front of the hotel in a remote town.

"Zed, wait for me here for one night." Ximu said to Zed at the door, and then disappeared in the crowd.

Zed: "..."

Forget it, he is the boss, and he has never seen Ximu do something difficult to grasp, so it is better to wait with peace of mind.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Oak forest.

It is said that there lived a beautiful goddess in the oak forest, accompanied by a horse with a single horn and white fur.

This beautiful goddess often descended on the oak forest, riding her beloved horse, hunting with a bow and arrow, and occasionally giving the hunted animals to hunters.

The above are all lies, made-up stories.

But one thing is true, there is really a horse in the oak forest, not only coming and going like the wind, but also like a flash of lightning.

And Ximu wanted to catch... no, to deceive this horse.

Go deep into the forest.

The moonlight fell from the gaps between the leaves, reflecting on Ximu's silver armor. He stepped on the thick fallen leaves and came to a lake.

The lake reflected the starry sky and the bright moon, and fireflies fluttered.

"I'm so tired, let's take a rest here." Ximu took off his helmet and put it on the stone by the lake.

He looked at such a beautiful night, as if he was in the mood, picked a leaf, and played it gently.

Melodious notes echo, dancing with the moonlight and accompanying the evening breeze. Fireflies seem like leaping notes.

If there were a beautiful girl here, she might not be able to help but stand up and ask the handsome knight if he had any troubles.

However, it was late at night and in the jungle, so it was impossible for any wild beautiful girls to appear.

Ta~ footsteps were heard, the treetops swayed slightly, and an eight-legged horse emerged, slowly came to Ximu's side and squatted down, listening carefully.

And Ximu didn't seem to notice it, still playing, the melodious notes drifted away with the evening breeze, and the horse also slowly became gentle from its original arrogance.

After a long time, the playing stopped.

"Ah~ I didn't expect there were listeners." The handsome knight put down the leaves and looked at the tall horse beside him. He showed a little surprise at first, and then smiled.

"It's still a beautiful lady." He looked at the surprise in the horse's eyes and smiled gently, "This is not something that is difficult to see."

The horse's tail shook slightly, looking at this strange human, a normal person would be either afraid or hostile to her when seeing her posture.

After all, a normal horse cannot have eight legs, nor can it have a body as tall as her.

And there is only one reason for such an abnormality, she is a dangerous monster, a terrifying monster that can easily kick a human to death with a hoof.

"Since you have never hurt me, you must not be a dangerous monster, right?" Ximu chuckled, his eyes gentle.

"Do you want to listen again?"

The horse looked at this strange human, then nodded gently, and the handsome knight smiled and continued to play with leaves.

At this moment, he was... seducing and deceiving this little mare so that he could ride her in the future, and pretending to be a handsome and melancholy knight to create a wonderful encounter was the best start.

I don't know what the game officials think, it seems that any creature has a very similar aesthetic to humans. It is obviously a horse, but it can also tell whether a human is handsome and good-looking.

However, considering the worldview of the mysterious door, I don't bother to care.

Anyway, he just needs to know that the little mare is a face-seeker and is simple and easy to deceive. Of course, he can also choose to conquer the little mare by force.

But that was too troublesome and took too long, so it was fastest to deceive the little mare with his face. When his force value soared in the later stage, he would use his force value to completely conquer the little mare.

Now he planned to play something elegant, pretending to be melancholy to deceive people... no, to deceive horses.

The horse looked at the handsome silver-clad knight sitting on the river bank, revealed a melancholy look, gently shook his tail, and gently rubbed the ground with his hooves.

Did this human have any sad past.
