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

"Akhtar, the hero in the mouths of the bards recently." The blonde woman directly pointed out Ximu's identity.

She looked at Ximu and nodded.

"You are qualified in reputation, status, and ability. I don't object to you being together."

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Naris's cheeks flushed and she waved her hands quickly. She felt strongly ashamed for her mother's outspokenness.

"Mother, please don't say such things in front of outsiders!"

"..." The blonde woman glanced at her daughter coldly and replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Daughter, there is no need to be ashamed of this."

She picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Being attracted to a strong male is not something to be ashamed of. You are willing to take the initiative to contact Akhtar, isn't it because he fits your view of choosing a spouse?"

Naris was about to cry, covering her blushing cheeks with her hands and making meaningless wails. She was indeed interested in Akhtar, but she had never thought of marrying him.

After all, the races are not quite the same.

And according to the normal process, she should get to know Akhtar for a while and confirm each other's feelings.

"Daughter, you are not mature enough." The blonde woman shook her head and did not continue to speak, otherwise her daughter would faint in shame.

From her point of view, Akhtar is indeed a very good opposite sex, backed by the magic kingdom, and has talents that are not inferior to anyone.

So she has no objection to her daughter's union with Akhtar.

"I don't want such a strange maturity." Naris retorted in a low voice. She felt... ashamed of her mother's strange views, especially in front of Akhtar, she was almost ashamed to commit suicide.

Her mother Sora is an extremely strong woman who believes that the strong can dominate the weak and marrying a strong male can give birth to offspring with excellent bloodline.

In fact, she doesn't know who her biological father is, and perhaps even her mother Sora doesn't know.

After all, there are many strong male lives in this world.

"Only a strong bloodline can guarantee the inheritance of the family." Sora explained to her daughter calmly.

However, Nairis covered her blushing face with her hands, turned a deaf ear to her mother's remarks, and was very resistant to the distorted worldviews that were passed on.

What she wanted was a normal...marriage, a monogamous, everlasting love under the witness of God, and never betrayal on both sides.

Rather than thinking that the other party has good blood and can give birth to excellent offspring, and messing around without getting married.

This was unacceptable to her.

"Sit down, the wine and food are ready." Sora did not force it. She also knew that her daughter was a little too naive. She actually thought that there would be everlasting love in this world, and she also yearned for so-called heroes.

The so-called heroes were just strong people who pursued fame and fortune.

"..." Nairis breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with Ximu around the dining table. She lowered her head and did not speak, only occasionally picking up a dish for Ximu.

As for the ceremonial conversation between Ximu and his mother, she pretended not to hear it.

Until.

"If you are not interested in Nairis, my unborn daughter... can also be engaged to you." Sora said something that shocked the world.

"You can train her to be the way you like."

The sound of a knife and fork falling.

Naris was silent for a moment, opened her mouth, then stood up silently and said, "Sorry, I... am in a hurry."

She apologized to Ximu.

"I will come to see Mr. Akhtar after my mother leaves." After saying that, she hurriedly left the room.

Now she dared not look Akhtar in the eye, fearing that the hero would look at her with strange eyes.

"Ms. Sora, you can be a little more tactful." Ximu sighed, as if he felt a little helpless about Sora's words.

In the official setting of the game, Sora is a female dwarf who extremely agrees with the concept of the survival of the fittest. She does not mind being conquered by a strong male, and is willing to give birth to offspring for a strong male, believing that the children of a strong male will be more talented and make their family stronger.

In theory, if the player successfully hunts down the immortal snake, Sora can turn to the player's arms and willingly give birth to offspring for him.

However, when the player hunts down the Undead Snake, Sora will find that his feelings for the Undead Snake are not just about facing a powerful male.

Instead, he has already developed feelings for it, and thus falls into despair.

If the player does not choose to kill Sora at that time, Sora will fall into madness, eat the remains of the Undead Snake, and try to use his own ability to breed the Undead Snake again.

"This is not something to be ashamed of." Waving his hand, Sora took a sip of the liquor on the table and looked at Ximu's handsome face.

"The strong have everything. Since my own ability is not enough, clinging to the strong is also a manifestation of wisdom."

She put down the wine glass.

"As long as the Undead Snake can not be conquered by the strong, we are willing to provide sacrifices for the Undead Snake. This is the privilege of the strong."

"If the crusade is successful, then you don't mind changing the object of worship." Ximu nodded as if he understood.

In response, Sora smiled.

"That's right. If someone can successfully defeat the Undead Snake, it means that his bloodline is more superior. I will marry my most proud daughter to him and let him enjoy the treatment of a strong man."

"No wonder so many people came to Gear City to defeat the Undead Serpent." Ximu nodded as if he understood.

"There is no shortage of people chasing fame and fortune in this world." Sora smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with Ximu, then said jokingly:

"With the talent you have shown, even if you don't go to defeat the Undead Serpent, I am still willing to marry my daughter to you."

"Forget it, we are all different races." Waving his hand, Ximu seemed to mind race.

However, this was just a lie, he was simply not interested in Sora's daughters. If it was the Dragon Empire's... white-haired loli, then he wouldn't mind the race issue.

And Sora didn't force it, but changed the subject, "I heard you have an eight-legged horse, why don't you see her by your side."

"Ms. Sora, do you know my partner?" Ximu seemed a little surprised, as if he didn't know anything about the little mare's past.

"That eight-legged horse is called Sleipnir, and it is the creation of the monster witch." Sora smiled and explained to Ximu:

"It is a very dangerous monster. No one has ever come into contact with Sleipnir. You are the first human to ride on her."

She lowered her head and played with the wine glass.

"How does it feel to ride her?"

"Very quickly." Ximu expressed his thoughts, and Sora smiled meaningfully. Hearing this, he felt a smile at the knight's sincere answer.

This knight would not think that Sleipnir can only be ridden as a horse. It is the top monster and has the ability to transform into a human form.

But it seems that this knight does not know this information.

The more powerful the monster, the higher the degree of wisdom it has, and naturally it also has the ability to love.

Since she can conceive the offspring of monsters, then monsters can also conceive the offspring of humans.

"Can I meet Sleipnir?" Sora made a request. She was not very interested in Akhtar.

Although Akhtar is destined to be a strong man in the future, he is not a strong man after all, and it is not worth her to pay too much attention to him.

But Sleipnir is different. He is the same kind that the Undead Serpent is interested in. In theory, he is on the same level as the Undead Serpent.

"Okay." Ximu naturally would not refuse. He summoned a little mare, and the tall horse stood behind Ximu.

She glanced at Sora's belly and took a step back as if she was disgusted. Is this dwarf woman mentally ill?

She is actually pregnant with the child of the Undead Serpent.

"Miss Sleipnir, can we talk alone?" Sora stood up and smiled at the little mare.

The little mare did not agree immediately. She rubbed her hoof on the ground and looked at Akhtar again. After getting the other party's permission.

She walked out of the house.

"The day to defeat the Undead Serpent is three days later." Sora passed by Ximu calmly and told some more basic information.

"There are no restrictions on means. You can try every possible means to win. As long as you can successfully hunt down the immortal snake, you will be the... hero of Gear City."

After saying that, Sora, who was pregnant, left the room.

There are many people who want to stand out in this world. The strong men who gathered in Gear City are waiting for the day of the crusade to begin.

Of course, you can also go to the crusade in advance. Gear City has no restrictions on this, as long as you are confident that you can succeed alone.

…

…

After a while.

The little mare returned to the room and looked at Akhtar who was eating at the table. She knocked the ground with her hoof, as if she wanted to put herself back into the ring.

However.

"Sleipnir, is this really your name?" Ximu pretended to be curious and asked the little mare, "I heard that powerful monsters can all turn into human forms."

He raised his glass.

"Partner, do you want to sit down and have a drink together?"

"…"The little mare didn't say anything, just tilted her head, and then knocked the ground with her hoof.

She couldn't turn into a human form, that was too dangerous.

"What's wrong, partner?" Ximu seemed a little puzzled, and asked the little mare, "Sit down and have a glass of wine, can't we chat together?"

Of course not.

The little mare thought so. While keeping her horse body, she could still keep a distance from Akhtar, but it would be difficult to keep a distance if she turned into a human form.

If the theory of longevity appears in the future, it would be too...sad for her to raise a child alone.

In order not to become a single mother, it is impossible to turn into a human form.

"Since you don't want to, I won't force you to be a partner." Ximu smiled and handed a plate of fruit salad to the little mare.

And at this time.

Naris also came back. She first observed vigilantly outside the door and found that her mother was not there. Then she patted her chest and walked into the room.

...

...

Two days later.

Adventurers from all over the world gathered, rubbing their hands and waiting to defeat the undead snake, intending to become heroes in people's mouths.

Reputation.

Power.

Wealth.

All reside in the head of the undead snake.

The one who cuts it down is a hero.

In the tavern.

Amphis played the harp and sang the epic of heroes. He was telling the story of the first encounter between the knight in silver armor and the beautiful princess, and the final separation.

After a long time, the playing stopped.

The tavern was quiet for a while, and then it became noisy. A crying dwarf girl wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

She sobbed to Anphis:

"Sir Akhtar, did you really get infected by Surtur's fire? In order to... not let Princess Letitia be sad, did you not stay in the Iris Kingdom, but wandered alone?"

"Too cruel, they are obviously two people in love." A noble lady covered her mouth, feeling sad about the ending of the story.

This was a version she had never heard of. She knew about Akhtar's existence before, but her evaluation of Akhtar was that he was a... genius, but only a genius.

There are many such geniuses in history, and they have been able to guess the ending, which is nothing more than that the genius becomes a great hero through hard work, and then marries a beautiful princess and lives happily ever after.

But Akhtar is a little different. He is about to die, and in order not to let the princess he loves be sad, he chooses to stay away from the princess he loves.

"If Princess Letitia knew the truth, how sad it would be." A noble young man shook his head with pity.

The bad news that the person he loves is about to die is probably enough to make Princess Letitia completely collapse.

I wonder if Princess Letitia knows the truth now.

"Hehe... How can the story of a hero end so easily?" Anphis chuckled and played the harp again.

"The hero of justice, now he has picked up the spear that penetrates immortality and came to the city threatened by the immortal snake."

"He is not for wealth, not for fame, not for power, but only to save the people who were sacrificed."

The tavern was quiet for a moment.

Then it became even more noisy, and someone couldn't wait to ask, "Has Akhtar come to the Gear City!"

"Is Lord Akhtar also going to fight the immortal snake!" A noble girl exclaimed, covering her mouth with both hands.

Now she really wants to see Akhtar, hold the knight who is away from his beloved in her arms to comfort him, so that Akhtar will no longer be so sad.

"Want to know?" Anphis smiled mysteriously, looked at the curious eyes of everyone in the tavern, and gently plucked the strings.

"This story will have to wait until after the undead snake is defeated, so let's leave a little suspense."

After he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of wind and disappeared on the spot, and the story he told also drifted away with the wind.

People also knew that Akhtar would not live long.

……

…

At this time.

Gear City.

The palace.

"Wow, Mr. Akhtar, I didn't expect you to be infected with Surtur's fire." Naris looked at Akhtar eating across the table, and wiped her tears sadly with a handkerchief, "This... is really too cruel!"

Ximu: "..."
