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

The hot wind blew.

Ximu's palm brushed across the hunting king sword, symbolizing the black flame of death, revealing a terrifying sense of death oppression.

"Woman, what are you talking about?"

His cold voice revealed murderous intent.

"Master Hecate, the one who controls the trajectory of all fate, you are also qualified to talk about fate in front of me."

"..."

The nun who served the fire shook her head gently, wanting to start explaining the reason, but found that the future Lord of Ashes had already launched an attack without mercy.

The sword wrapped in black flames chopped down at her fair neck, without the slightest hesitation, holding a resolute killing intent.

However.

"Clang!" Before the sword touched the white neck, it was blocked by a transparent red protective cover, and did not cut off the nun's head.

Ximu saw this with a cold look, and used his wrist to change the direction of the sword, and quickly chopped again, but still could not cut through the protective cover.

He jumped back a step and put his hand on the sword of light.

And at this moment,

"Lord Ashes, please don't do that." The nun who served the fire said softly, "You are not in good health now. Using the Sword of Light will make your body too weak."

The words fell.

The light began to surge, turning into a pillar of light that stabbed the blindfolded nun's chest. With the collision, the whole world was submerged in light.

After a while, the light faded.

The terrain has changed dramatically. The hillside has disappeared from its original place, and a deep hole with no top appeared above the cave.

And Ximu and the eight-legged horse have disappeared at this time.

"Lord Ashes, I... really have no ill intentions." With a slightly helpless sigh, the blindfolded nun walked out of the magma.

She still remained intact.

But it can be seen that she is a little helpless and frustrated. She has encountered such great hostility in the first contact. How will she guide the fate of Lord Ashes in the future?

Of course, she did not give up. On the contrary, she planned to be more patient and sincere to let Lord Ashes understand that she has no ill intentions.

Thinking of this, she looked in the direction where Lord Ashes fled, and disappeared in one step, with only scattered flames drifting away.

At the same time.

In a remote town.

In front of the hotel.

The dwarf girl opened her mouth wide, looking at the silver-clad knight who appeared outside the door, and felt the novelty of seeing an alien.

For the dwarves living underground, humans are very rare, except in big cities where humans can be seen frequently.

In small places, it is basically impossible to see humans in a lifetime.

And now she saw a... living, moving, and handsome human standing in front of her.

"Stay." Ximu looked tired, leaning on the body of the eight-legged horse, feeling weak after fighting for several days and nights and overdrawing his kidneys.

The dwarf girl nodded immediately after hearing this, she wiped her apron with her two small hands, and then asked:

"It's two guests, right?"

The atmosphere became quiet.

Ximu followed the dwarf girl's line of sight and saw the nun serving the fire standing beside him like a subordinate.

After noticing his gaze, she gave him a gentle smile.

"Lord Ashes, please... give me some time to communicate." The blindfolded nun raised her hand and gently placed it on her chest, saying in a pleading tone.

"If I really had a little malice towards you, I could have taken your life before, but I did nothing."

"..."

Ximu did not answer, nor did he refuse.

In fact, he was not surprised at all by what the blindfolded nun did, which was within his expectations.

If he recognized the identity of the blindfolded nun at the beginning and expressed his willingness to become the Lord of Ashes, then the blindfolded nun would push him to become the Lord of Ashes step by step according to the so-called destiny, and the whole task process would be very cumbersome.

However, if he refused to become the Lord of Ashes, the logic of the blindfolded nun's actions would change greatly, from pushing destiny to make him the Lord of Ashes to gaining his trust and doing something that was not excessive.

The initiative was in his hands.

Well... to make an inappropriate analogy, it's like falling in love. If the player agrees to become the Lord of Ashes because of the beauty of the blindfolded nun at the beginning, then the player will be challenged. Only when the player becomes the Lord of Ashes can he win the heart of the beauty.

But if the player clearly has the destiny of becoming the Lord of Ashes, but just doesn't execute the destiny of the Lord of Ashes, then the action logic of the blindfolded nun will undergo a subversive change, from "I want to help the player become the Lord of Ashes" to "I want to gain the trust of the player".

Under this premise, as long as the player does not make excessive demands, the blindfolded nun will "attack" the player and gain the trust of the player, and then agree helplessly.

The status changes from the player attacking the blindfolded nun to the blindfolded nun attacking the player.

And the initiative naturally belongs to the player.

"By the way, Lord Ashes, are you going to take a rest?" Seeing that Ximu was silent, the blindfolded nun came to the dwarf girl and paid consciously.

"Please prepare two adjacent rooms."

"Yes." The dwarf girl nodded obediently and ran into the store in a panic. Her father went to Parad City and never came back. Now she was the only one running the small hotel by herself, so this made her a little...scared.

The atmosphere between the two humans outside the door was not right. It felt like they might fight at any time.

"Lord Ashes, you are not familiar with the dwarf world." The blindfolded nun turned around and said softly to Ximu:

"Let me guide you."

"..." Ximu narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously put his hand on the sword of light. The blindfolded nun took a step back after seeing this.

"Lord Ashes, please don't do that." She advised with a helpless expression, "This will only waste your remaining magic power."

Ximu frowned and said, "Are you saying that I can't kill you?"

But you just can't kill it.

The little mare next to her was thinking this and was ready to run away with the knight in her mouth at any time. She had discovered that the blindfolded nun was ridiculously strong.

However, a scene that was beyond her expectation appeared. It was the blindfolded nun who was clearly in a strong position, but she waved her hand at a loss.

"Lord Ashes, that's not what I meant." The blindfolded nun raised her hand and gently placed it on her chest, her gentle voice revealing concern, "You are very weak now, and using the Sword of Light will overdraw your body."

Speaking of which, she added another sentence.

"If you are in good health, you can naturally kill me."

This works too.

The little mare was dumbfounded, looking at the blindfolded nun who was anxiously explaining. She felt like her three views had been refreshed. In her usual understanding, only the strong can take the initiative, and only the strong can decide everything.

But the situation in front of her was reversed. The blindfolded nun, who was clearly in an advantageous position, appeared to be very weak.

"Don't be ridiculous, I am indeed weaker than you." Ximu shook his head carelessly, then looked at the little mare, "Partner, can you transform into... human form?"

The filly shook her head.

In fact, as a creature of the monster witch, she can change her form like a dragon and transform into a human.

But she had no interest in taking human form.

Otherwise, it will easily lead to some very strange plots, such as the love affair between humans and monsters, and then trigger the tragic lifespan theory.

Hearing it from the bard was very touching, but when he became the protagonist in the story, it would be a tragedy.

So she was absolutely unwilling to turn into a human in front of Ximu.

"This is a bit troublesome." Ximu frowned and looked at the dwarf hotel. Humans could barely squeeze in, but with the tall size of the little mare, it was not easy to enter the hotel unless the little mare could transform. Human form.

Of course, you can send the little mare to the stable, but with the little mare's pride, it is impossible to allow herself to live in the stable.

so.

"Leave it to me." The blindfolded nun consciously handed over a ring, "Lord Ashes, this ring can help you store your war horses and equipment."

She watched Ximu dress up.

"Lord Ashes, it's time for you to lighten the load you wear."

"..." The little mare nearby was also quite impressed when she heard this. Standing at the door of the hotel, Ximu was wearing silver armor, with two big swords on his waist and a big bow on his back.

And this is on top of the fact that she has to bear a lot of potion bottles, alchemy tools, and spare food. If Ximu is allowed to take it by herself, she will have to carry a big bag on her own.

In the past, Ximu had a maid to help him get things, but now there is no one to help Ximu get things.

"Lord Ashes, this... is my meeting gift to you."

The blindfolded nun spoke softly. Originally, she planned to wait for Lord Ashes to grow to a certain level before taking out the ring as a gift.

But now that Lord Ashes is full of hostility towards her, she can only change her mind and gain Lord Ashes' trust first, and then find a way to push Lord Ashes towards his destiny.

As for reserved gifts, just treat them as gifts in advance.

"..."

Ximu took the ring and looked at it for a moment. It was a prop made by fairies. It could be said to be precious or very precious, and it could be said that it was not precious or not very precious.

After all, he would not let the equipment leave his body under normal circumstances, otherwise it would not be difficult to ask Hecate for a saved alchemy item when he was in the Magic King's City.

"You said you were a nun who serves fire, right?" He held the ring in his hand and his attitude became a little better.

"Why do you want to serve something so dangerous?"

"Lord Ashes, I serve you." The blindfolded nun explained, "Do you know about Ragnarok?"

Ximu pretended not to know and shook his head gently.

The blindfolded nun smiled slightly when she heard this, pointed to the little dwarf girl who was walking not far away with the key, and said softly:

"Lord Ashes, it is not appropriate to discuss this on the street."

"..."

Ximu turned his head and glanced at the little mare, and found that her tall body had become petite, and she walked into the hotel haughtily.

He didn't mind this, since the filly would be willing to stay in the ring in two days anyway.

Try to update before twelve o'clock.
