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

“…”

“…”

The white-bearded dwarf knelt on the ground, holding the Great Sword of Death in his hands, his head bowed respectfully, not daring to look at the witch's face in front of him, and could only see a pair of suspended jade feet in front of him.

The atmosphere seemed to stagnate.

The cold sweat slid down his forehead to the tip of his nose, and then dripped on the dry ground. He had never thought that he could meet two witches before.

And there was also a witch of death that frightened countless people.

"Has the Great Sword of Death been made in advance?" The cold and pleasant female voice came out slowly.

Then the white-bearded dwarf felt that the Great Sword of Death he had offered with both hands was taken away.

"It's all the result of the master's hard work." As the footsteps came, the white-bearded dwarf subconsciously looked up, looked at the silver-armored knight who appeared beside him, and squeezed out a rather difficult smile on his face.

Of course he had to work hard, otherwise he would lose his life.

Originally, he was considered a tough dwarf. Even if he held a knife on his neck, he would not be afraid, thinking that it was just reincarnation after death.

Moreover, according to the description of the followers of the goddess of death, the scenery of hell is better than the world.

However, being killed by a witch is different. The soul will be taken away by the witch, and there will be no way to go to hell, and there will be no way to obtain the afterlife.

So he is very... afraid of the existence of witches.

"Lady Witch of Death, please grant the great sword of death." Ximu retracted his sight and smiled at the Witch of Death sitting in the air.

In response, the Witch of Death did not answer immediately. Her slender fingers slid along the blade of the great sword, and then asked a question.

"Akhtar, do you want to add restrictions to the great sword of death?" She has the ability to set conditions for the use of the great sword of death, such as only people with Akhtar's bloodline can use the great sword of death, or only people with corresponding moral standards can use it.

In short, as long as Akhtar needs it, the corresponding limited use conditions can be added, as long as Akhtar has this need.

Ximu thought for a moment and said, "It is limited to those who have been blessed by the Witch of Death."

He added.

"It must be used by those who have been blessed by the Witch of Death."

In this game, there are many people who have been blessed by the Witch of Death, but except for Granny Seth, all the others who have been blessed have died.

So it is a disguised limitation that only you can use it.

"Are you sure?" The Witch of Death lowered her eyes and gently stroked the sword with her slender fingers. In the past, there was also a person who asked for the same limited use conditions and had a fanatical belief in her, but unfortunately he died in front of her later.

And she was also sealed between life and death by the gods.

"Is there anything strange about this condition?" Ximu seemed to be a little confused and asked, and the Witch of Death shook her head when she heard it.

She began to write the spell on the Great Sword of Death and added the conditions for use. The whole process was smooth and it seemed that she had never thought about it.

After all, she had written the same spell a long time ago.

The fingers that were writing the spell stopped, and the two sides of the sword of the Great Sword of Death were covered with spells of unknown meaning.

The Witch of Death handed the Great Sword of Death to Ximu and said:

"From now on, anyone who has not received my favor will be cursed by the Great Sword of Death as long as he holds the Great Sword of Death."

"..."

Ximu took the sword and stroked the Great Sword of Death with his palm, and the black flames wrapped around the sword.

Even if there is no deeper power of death, with the blessing of the Great Sword of Death, it can also use a deeper death.

He lowered his head and looked at the white-bearded dwarf.

The two looked at each other.

"You still need me to make weapons in the future, right?" The white-bearded dwarf twitched his mouth, feeling that the silver-armored knight wanted to test his sword on him.

But he was not very panicked.

After all, he was a rare technical talent, and there were few people in the world who had better forging skills than himself.

As expected.

Ximu withdrew his sight, then looked at the Witch of Death and asked, "Lady Witch of Death, how do we find the All-Knowing Saint?"

The last time he summoned the Witch of Death, he was given a task by the Witch of Death, and learned the true power of the All-Knowing God from the All-Knowing Saint.

The Witch of Death crossed her hands and said, "The Witch of Fate will tell you where she is."

After she finished speaking, she turned into a blue flame and disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this, Ximu turned around, rode on the mare and left. He did not look back at the white-bearded dwarf, and headed directly towards the Magic King City.

In fact, the condition for him to choose the use of the Great Sword of Death can be limited to "himself" to have the right to use it.

But this is not convenient to brush the favorability of the Witch of Death.

A long time ago, the Witch of Death also gave the Great Sword of Death to her believers. That believer was a beautiful girl, the sharp blade of the Witch of Death, holding the Great Sword of Death to fight against all beings that were enemies of the Witch of Death.

This lady, a believer of the Witch of Death, was originally called Black Blade by people. The limitation of the Great Sword of Death is that only those who have received the favor of the Witch of Death can use it.

Moreover, the eighth of the ten shadow spells is to summon Miss Black Blade in the past.

Once he summons Miss Black Blade, he can directly give Miss Black Blade the Great Sword of Death.

With the degree of favor of death received by Miss Black Blade, she can use the Great Sword of Death more cruelly than him. In theory, she can grant death to the gods.

"Survived." The white-bearded dwarf stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then ran into the forge house, packed up and ran away.

There is no room here to stay.

…

…

Magic King City.

Big library.

Putting down the steaming tea cup, Hecate put the book in her hand on the table, looked at the approaching apprentice, and showed a gentle smile on her pretty face.

She waved.

"Apprentice, sit down."

"Teacher, did you expect me to come?" Ximu pulled out a chair and sat down next to Hecate.

On the table, there were two cups of warm black tea and snacks. It was obvious that they had anticipated this, otherwise they would not have prepared only two cups of hot tea.

"Want to learn?" Hecate chuckled, "Master has already written a prayer for destiny.

Xi Mu immediately replied, "Of course I want to learn."

Hecate nodded with satisfaction. Her apprentice used the Death Witch's prayer every day, but it was of no use to the content of her teaching.

Doesn't this mean that she is unqualified as a teacher?

"Tell me something that concerns you." She took out a map out of thin air and handed it to Ximu, "The map marks the location of the Omniscient Saint and the Hundred-Eyed Tower."

Ximu opened the map and found that there was a punctuation point moving on the map, which was the activity track of the omniscient saint.

What he is holding now is no ordinary map.

It is the destiny scroll specially made by Teacher Hecate, so the movement trajectory of the omniscient saint can be marked so clearly.

"The Omniscient Saint is not a human being, nor a god, nor a witch." Hecate took a sip of tea and began to tell the information about the Omniscient Saint.

"She is a doll created by the omniscient God. She observes the world from a human perspective and conveys her views on the world to the omniscient God from a human perspective."

"Since the omniscient God is omniscient, does he still need a puppet to look at the world on his behalf?" Ximu asked.

In this regard, Hecate explained this, "The Sisters of Twilight who serve you, after regaining their eyes, will also assume the same responsibilities as the Omniscient Saint and look at the world on behalf of Ragnarok."

She explained.

"Ragnarok represents the end of all things, which means that Ragnarok is the final answer to all answers. It is theoretically omniscient and does not need to look at the world through the Sisters of Twilight."

Ximu seemed to be lost in thought.

"Apprentice, everything has an answer and an ending." Hecate gave the answer, "Just like a person knows that he will eventually die, and also knows that his life will be boring and boring."

She smiled softly.

"But people will give meaning to themselves. The meaning they give to themselves belongs purely to themselves. Whether it is Ragnarok or the omniscient god, what they want to understand is the meaning people give to themselves."

"And if they want to understand this meaning, they need to narrow their vision to the human scale and look at the world from a human perspective. Only in this way can they understand the meaning given to them."

Speaking of which, she gave another example.

"Just like a priceless famous painting, most people just think it looks good, but they can't understand why a painting is so valuable. But if someone explains to you the historical significance behind the famous painting, will the value be different? Where is it?"

"This assigned meaning comes from people's free souls and unfettered thinking. What they want to understand is the meaning given to this world by humans."

Ximu asked back: "If the human soul is free, teacher, why can you accurately predict destiny?"

"Because a free soul can be restrained." Hecate calmly told the answer, "Any free soul will no longer be free when facing the cold reality, so the fate can be predicted from this. "

"..."

Ximu nodded without saying anything.

In the game Mystic Door, there is indeed a setting of "Everyone's soul is free." However, in fact, every NPC must succumb to the underlying logic of the game design, and every NPC will be affected by its own position. , thereby taking similar actions.

It's like going to work every day for three meals a day, and as long as you do boring work, whether you like it or not, at least your behavior can be predicted.

What time will you go out in the morning?

What time will we eat at noon?

What time will you work overtime at night?

Any free soul will succumb to the coldness of this reality and have a predictable fate.

"Apprentice, if one day you can let your destiny become free." Hecate said, "I will be very happy to be my master."

After she became the Witch of Destiny, the joy she gained was not the joy of mastering everything, but boredom. This world... was so boring that it made people want to fall asleep.

However, her character is not someone who succumbs to reality. Since the world has become boring, she will find ways to make the world interesting.

To achieve this difficult goal, you must kill the omniscient god.

"I'll try my best." Xi Mu twitched the corner of his mouth. He could burn the world to ashes with a fire. Does this count as freeing everyone from being bound by fate?

Hecate nodded when she heard this. She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic in depth, but started to confirm the apprentice's learning progress in the past few days.

After confirming that Ximu was not perfunctory, she taught her apprentice the prayer of fate she had researched.

Reflecting the stars.

This is the prayer developed by the witch of fate. In essence, it is to borrow the power of the witch of fate to see through the trajectory of fate.

Very high-end, very powerful, but basically useless for multi-round players. After all, multi-round players have a deep understanding of everything in the game, and their instinctive reactions are faster than using their brains.

When the divination results came out, the boss had been killed by the player.

"You are so good at learning, I should give you some rewards." Hecate was very satisfied with her apprentice's talent and learning progress.

Then she took out two scrolls.

"Apprentice, choose one as a reward. The right-hand follower records the correctly interpreted dragon magic, which can help you solve the problem of burning life."

"And the left-hand scroll records the magic of moving by relying on the stars."

Ximu chose the scroll in his left hand without hesitation. For him, a kind of instant teleportation magic can greatly improve the response in battle.

He doesn't care about his life span.

"Disciple, don't you want the Dragonborn magic?" Hecate seemed a little surprised, and looked at Ximu in a rebuke, as if blaming Ximu for not cherishing his life.

In response, Ximu replied confidently, "Even if I don't choose, will you not give it to me, teacher?"

He asserted so.

"Teacher, you must be reluctant to let me die."

"Hehe~ Your fate has been predicted by your disciple." Hecate laughed happily, and her full chest trembled with her laughter.

"Take it, these are the gifts prepared by your teacher for you." She happily handed both scrolls to Ximu.

Originally, these two magic scrolls were prepared for Ximu, but she wanted her little disciple to choose one of the two, and then give the other scroll to her little disciple, giving her little disciple a little surprise.

However, the situation was a little different from what she expected. Instead, her little disciple gave her a surprise.

"Since the teacher has correctly interpreted the Dragonborn, Siegfried should not have to transform into an evil dragon, right?" Ximu opened the magic scroll of the Dragonborn and asked Hecate, who was standing beside him.

In response, Hecate shook her head and explained.

"Even if the Dragonborn is correctly interpreted, it cannot save him from his fate of becoming an evil dragon. He will become... the Dragon King in the collapsed Sky City."

Ximu asked, "Is this the fate that the teacher foresaw?"

"This is the fate he chose himself." Hecate replied calmly, "Siegfried is waiting for you to become a strong man who can protect his daughter."
