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

The playing is over.

Ximu put down the leaves and smiled at the mare next to him, "How is it?"

The mare naturally couldn't answer, but Ximu seemed to sense what she was thinking through eye contact.

He smiled and said:

"As long as you like it."

The mare: "..."

Why can this human sense what she is thinking, when she and this human are obviously not of the same species.

Then.

The handsome knight smiled gently and explained: "Your expression is very rich and lively, like a girl who can't hide her thoughts."

His tone was gentle.

"Among monsters, you are also a special existence."

"..."

The mare began to doubt whether she was really very easy to understand, or whether this human had the ability to read minds.

And he said she was like a girl, was he serious.

"Hehehe... do you rarely come into contact with people?" The handsome knight smiled, looked at the full moon reflected in the lake, flicked the leaves in his hand, and just shattered the moon in the lake.

"If you often come into contact with people, you will definitely find that people can easily read your mind."

"..."

The little mare began to doubt.

In fact, since she was created by the monster witch, she has been avoiding contact with anyone. In addition, she moves very fast, so basically no one has ever come into contact with her.

Even if there has been contact, it is not pleasant. Either they want to hunt her because of her monster identity, or they want to tame her as a mount.

And most of these ignorant humans were kicked to death by her hoof. Even if she met someone she couldn't beat, she would have already escaped.

"A horse like you... is very easy to be deceived." Ximu looked at the little mare's half-believing and half-doubting expression and shook his head gently.

The little mare sneered at this.

For so many years, she has been living well, and she has been highly vigilant. As long as she notices something wrong, she will immediately flee.

So she has never been successfully deceived or captured.

"..."

Ximu smiled helplessly when he saw this, and then changed the subject: "By the way, I don't think I have introduced myself yet?"

A trace of curiosity appeared in the eyes of the little mare.

Why did this knight come to the lake alone in the middle of the night? Is there any story that is not easy to tell?

"Akhtar...or you can call me Ximu." Ximu introduced himself and smiled confidently.

"If one day you hear my name from the mouth of the bard, then I may have become a hero who slays dragons."

At this point, he sighed again.

"But when you hear my story from the bard, I must have died."

"..."

The little mare shook her tail gently. In fact, she often used her speed to eavesdrop on the bard's stories. As long as she kept a good distance and her extremely sensitive ears, she had overheard many stories.

For heroic stories and epic legends, her understanding has surpassed most humans, so as long as Ximu can create her own heroes and epics, she must be the first to understand them.

Ximu didn't seem to know what she was thinking, and began to talk about his past, speaking slowly and calmly, like a bard telling a story.

The mare also began to understand what kind of person this knight was through the human's oral narration. After learning about his legendary rise, she felt that this knight would definitely become a hero passed down by people's mouths.

However, after hearing that Ximu was infected with Surtur's fire and was about to die, she felt regretful.

Obviously, this knight could still create more heroic deeds.

"I may not die now." Ximu seemed to notice the mare's regret and shook his head.

"What if we find a way to suppress Surtur's fire?"

"..."

The mare was silent for a while, then nodded gently.

As for the knight's self-consolation, she did not choose to believe that there was no way to cure Surtur's fire in this world.

Those who were infected and became firewood either fell into madness or died after all their vitality was burned out.

There was no second ending.

"Ah~ After I said it, I feel much better." Ximu stretched and said with a smile:

"You are a very suitable person to confide in."

You are bullying me for not being able to speak, right?

The little mare glanced at the knight speechlessly. The knight was so frank with her because he felt that she could not speak human language, so he would speak out all the negative emotions accumulated in his heart.

"Sorry~ Sorry, I took you as a confidant without permission." Ximu smiled heartily, without any guilt.

He waved his hand.

"You seem to like listening to stories. Let me tell you something interesting."

This human can really read minds.

The little mare thought so, but still listened quietly to the heroic stories told by the knight, which were all familiar stories she had heard a long time ago.

However, as long as she looked at the face of this handsome knight and the gentle voice that was neither slow nor fast, she felt that she could keep listening.

Under the moonlight.

The knight in silver armor sat on a stone by the lake, telling some clichéd stories to a horse.

After a long time, the knight's voice gradually became quieter, and he fell asleep leaning against a rock by the lake. His peaceful sleeping face made people reluctant to disturb him.

The little mare looked at the knight leaning on the stone and sleeping peacefully, feeling a little speechless. Didn't this human know that she was a monster, a very cruel and dangerous existence?

A long time ago, there were no monsters in this world, only races favored by the gods.

Until a stunningly talented witch was born. Her name was Typhon, the creator of thousands of monsters.

Countless powerful monsters were born in the hands of Typhon, making the world full of monsters, seriously threatening the race favored by the gods.

Then came the natural ending. Typhon, the creator of thousands of monsters, was punished by the gods. Thunder fell from the sky, and Typhon also fell.

However, the thousands of monsters created by Typhon were lucky enough to become part of the world's ecology.

But the danger of monsters remains as before.

Monsters such as Jormungandr entrenched in the deep sea, the extinct Fenrir wolves, the Hydra, and other monsters.

And she is Sleipnir, one of the monsters created by the Monster Witch herself, and is the most dangerous monster.

A flick of the hoof and the knight would die.

Humph, your vigilance is really too low.

The little mare raised her chin in disdain, then glared at a few hungry wolves that appeared in the grass. After scaring the wolves away, she lowered her head again.

For the sake of this human being telling her stories, keep him safe for a little bit.

The next day.

early morning.

It's slightly bright.

"Ah...that's bad!" The knight woke up, but his face was a little embarrassed. He looked at the little mare next to him.

"I seem to have forgotten to replenish my magic power."

"..." The little mare looked at the human who had no magic power and showed a slightly speechless look. Did this human being forget the fact that he was cursed and had no magic power for three days? He actually dared to spend the night alone.

Now I don't even have the energy to go back.

"I forgot to go back when I told the story." Ximu sighed in distress, and the little mare felt a little guilty after hearing this.

This knight did stay here too long to tell her a story, otherwise this knight should return to the town now and drink the potion to replenish his magic power.

Think about it.

The little mare stood up, then flicked Ximu's back, throwing the knight onto her back, then picked up the helmet on the ground and headed towards the town.

Since the human knight told her stories all night yesterday and played beautiful music for her.

Then, with a little... repayment, send this knight back to the town.

Back to town.

Under the horrified gaze of the villagers, an eight-legged horse walked into the village carrying a knight in silver.

The eight-legged horse raised its head, unusually arrogant, as if looking down at all the humans present, while the silver-clad knight on the horse helplessly explained and apologized to everyone, explaining the reason why he had carried it back.

The villagers also relaxed a little after the silver knight's explanation, and all cast curious glances at the unusually arrogant eight-legged horse.

An eight-legged horse that could kindly take people back to the village must not be very dangerous, otherwise the knight would have died long ago.

Instead of returning to the town unharmed.

Soon after.

At the hotel door.

"Boss, I've been worried about you all night!" Jade ran out with the box, helped Ximu off the back of the mare, then took out a bottle of magic potion that continuously replenishes magic power and poured it into Ximu's mouth.

The little mare was relieved when she saw this, kicked her eight legs hard, stepped on the air and flew away towards the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ximu stood up: "Fortunately, I was sent back."

"Boss, don't leave my side next time." Jade said complainingly, and then took Ximu back to the hotel.

After taking the shortest time to take a shower and eat, the two drove the carriage out of the town and rushed towards the place where the Magic Queen's star fell.

Along the way, they met many people who were also on their way, including mercenaries, magicians, and small armies.

They were obviously planning to snatch the Magic Queen's meteorite.

"Boss, are there... too many people?" Twitching his lips, Geed drove the carriage, turned to look at Ximu aside and asked:

"Can we really grab the Magic Queen's meteor?"

"This... it's time to see if we have the strength." Ximu glanced at the clouds on the horizon and saw an eight-legged mare flashing past and hiding in the clouds.

He smiled and said:

"And the more people there are, the more lively it will be, right?"

"Doesn't this mean we have to fight the army again?" Geed complained, "Boss, you are fighting the giant army in the Furnace City, the dwarf army in the Kingdom of Iris, and the magician in the Magic King's City."

She held her forehead.

"Now it's just a big melee."

"We will run after we get the Queen of Magic's meteorite." Ximu waved his hand and explained to Geed, "I am too weak now. I can't do anything like before, so don't worry. I’ll join the melee.”

"I hope things develop as the boss wants." Geed sighed tiredly. She originally thought that she had joined Sky City and would be a person who had an iron rice bowl from now on. Who would have thought that life would be more exciting now.

I don’t know if she is unlucky or if her boss has a special constitution that makes him passively involved in big events.

noon.

Following the large army, we came to the edge of a circular mountain range.

In the center of the mountain range, a huge meteorite crater came into view, bottomless, with several pieces of rubble floating in the air, as if there was some inexplicable force supporting the rubble from falling.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Jed turned his head and asked Ximu beside him.

The mercenaries and troops who came now did not dare to go down rashly, fearing that there would be danger. Currently, only some people were sent to investigate first.

Once it was confirmed that there was no danger under the meteorite crater, the large army would take action and start competing for the meteorite of the Magic Queen.

Ximu did not answer immediately, looking at the meteorite crater and falling into thought.

In the mysterious gate, the meteorites that can add ten are not easy to get. Some are hidden in the dragon's lair, and you must kill the dragon to get them, or simply put them in front of the boss's door, guarded by a bunch of believers.

And the falling meteorite of the Magic Queen fell into an underground country, where the mainstream belief is witches.

There is a strong malice towards life on the ground.

"Let's go down." Ximu made a decision, held Zed's hand, and then jumped down and ran down the crater.

When he reached the bottom of the crater, he pulled Zed and jumped suddenly, jumped on the suspended stone, and then disappeared in the crater after a few jumps.

This scene was naturally seen by everyone stationed on the edge of the crater. They didn't know how to evaluate these two reckless adventurers.

"Ha~ Really a brave guy." An orc wearing a cloak and having a wolf head laughed heartily. He took off the big sword on his back and jumped suddenly.

"If you delay, you may really not be able to grab it." As he rushed into the crater, a group of mercenaries followed closely behind him.

The army that originally planned to wait and see finally made up its mind not to delay any longer.

Otherwise, the magic queen's meteorite would really be taken away.

However, facing this delicate situation, the army from the magic kingdom had mixed feelings and felt a sense of... being at a loss.

"Isn't that Master Hecate's apprentice?" Leila twitched her lips, standing on the edge of the crater, looking at the mercenaries rushing down.

Now she is a teacher at the magic academy and has become a successful person.

And she is also one of the few people who have had contact with Master Hecate's apprentice.

"If Master Hecate's apprentice gets into trouble?" She turned her head and asked the knight captain beside her, "Will we be held accountable by Master Hecate?"

Knight Captain: "..."

How could he know about such things? He is just a knight captain, and he doesn't even know what Hecate's apprentice looks like.

But if Master Hecate's apprentice gets into trouble here.

Maybe they will be in trouble. As for how much trouble it is, it depends on how much Master Hecate cares about her apprentice.
