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

"...Really?" Ximu was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief, "That's really great."

"Is it a good thing that I'm crying?" Aslaqi asked with a slight smile, looking at Akhtar's expression of embarrassment and wanting to explain.

She chuckled.

"Don't worry that I will keep negative emotions in my heart. Death is not the end of life, nor is it eternal separation."

"It's just a brief separation, right?" Ximu added, picking up the tea cup on the table and taking a sip, "It's really... quite good to exist in hell."

In this game setting, except for those who are favored by God, they will go to hell after death, and this means that you can see your relatives, lovers, or... enemies in hell.

Of course, since people cannot observe the existence of hell and have no way to communicate with their relatives after death, NPCs in the game still have fear and doubt about death.

"Actually, the existence of hell is not necessarily a good thing." Aslaqi shook her head slightly, looking at Akhtar's doubtful eyes.

Her red lips parted slightly, wanting to explain.

"Bang bang!" A sudden knock on the door sounded, accompanied by Jed's anxious voice outside the door.

"Boss, there are dragons surrounding the Sky City!"

"..."

Hearing this, Ximu immediately stood up. He looked at Aslaqi, who also stood up, and then left the room.

It was within their expectations that the giant dragon would come to cause trouble.

…

…

Above the Sky City.

A dozen giant dragons were circling and flying, as if they might attack at any time, but unexpectedly, the residents of Sky City were not very panicked by this scene.

This is not only because the residents of Sky City do not know that Siegfried is dead, but also because the army of Sky City has shown its attitude. As long as the dragons make a move, they will immediately usher in a counterattack from Sky City. .

The City in the Sky, which has accumulated a lot of wealth, not only has a variety of expensive alchemical equipment, but the quality of the army is also generally higher than that of ordinary kingdoms.

And there is also a group of powerful people gathered.

at this time.

The main entrance of the palace.

"Finally came out." Yimar put his hands in his pockets and looked at Asraqi and Akhtar who were walking out with their guards.

"Let's talk about the magic that captures the dragon's power."

"Just arrest them and read their memories." A bald woman walked out, with shocking steel nails inserted into her head, and her skin was covered with spells, which made people feel sick.

"It's very simple for us to let the Sky City go. That is to make sure that no one knows about the magic that captures the dragon's power."

"Oops... Let's get straight to the point. It's so lacking in elegance." Emaar shook his head and stroked the brown hair on his forehead with his jewel-encrusted right hand.

He seemed to dislike the bald woman's inelegance, but his expression showed approval, with a condescending arrogance.

"But you don't have a choice."

"With your mind, you will naturally think that we have no choice." Aslaqi's voice was calm, looking at Emaar mockingly, and said:

"Is this the prince of the Dragon Empire? He seems to have an intellectual defect."

The atmosphere fell silent.

"..." Yimar was stunned, turned to look at the bald woman beside him, raised his finger and pointed at Aslaqi and then at himself.

"Your Highness, she is indeed calling you mentally retarded." The bald woman nodded seriously, causing the atmosphere to become completely silent.

Yimaer's face turned cold, he stared at Aslaqi unhappily, and asked:

"It seems you don't want to talk anymore."

"You didn't plan to have a good talk from the beginning, right?" Aslaqi said in a cold voice, "Since you didn't plan to have a good talk, why do you expect respect from others?"

On the way here, she had already heard that Akhtar had captured the power of the dragon, and she let the witnesses go.

This also means that it is impossible for the Dragon Empire to let Akhtar go. Unless she is willing to cut off from Akhtar and cooperate with the Dragon Empire in a humble manner, then it is possible for the Dragon Empire to let the Sky One go. city.

However, she has never been in the habit of abandoning her friends, and since Emaar is a rotten dragon, it is impossible to let go of the Sky City.

So she has no choice.

"Actually, we can talk about it." A tall woman with long blue hair came out. She glanced at Akhtar and said with a complicated expression:

"The person in charge of Sky City matters now is not His Highness Emaar, but me."

"You will be the agent?" Aslaqi glanced at the unhappy Emaar and immediately realized that what the other person said was true.

The female dragon smiled gracefully, raised her hand on her chest and said, "Matalina, this is my name, and I am currently solely responsible for matters related to Sky City."

After she was released by Akhtar, she fell into... a dilemma. First of all, it was impossible for her to conceal the fact that Akhtar had captured the power of the dragon.

However, the dragon power that Akhtar captured came from Siegfried, and he spared her life even though he knew that she would report it.

Therefore, maybe for the sake of mental balance or for repayment, she reported the scandals that Emaar had done during this period and took away the power against Sky City.

Now she wants to give Sky City a chance to save the country from being destroyed by the dragon.

"Hmph, boring." Imare snorted in displeasure and looked at Aslaqi with a bad smile. "That woman is extremely arrogant. It is impossible for people to pry into her memory casually."

"Spying memory?" Asraqi frowned unhappily, and then heard the mother dragon give the answer.

"This is to ensure that no one knows the magic of taking dragon power except you and Akhtar." Matarina smiled, "As long as we can confirm that the magic of taking dragon power has not been leaked, there is no need to shoot down the entire Sky City."

She turned her head and looked at the bald woman with nails stuck in her head.

"Hani has the ability to read memory, just let her read your memory to ensure that no outsiders know the magic of taking dragon power."

"I can guarantee that the Dragon Empire will not be an enemy of Sky City."

Asraqi did not answer immediately. Of course, she leaked the magic of the Dragonborn. Not only she and Akhtar knew it, but even Hecate knew the magic of the Dragonborn.

And Matarina did not urge her when she saw this.

Memory will not lie. As long as Asraqi can make a decision, she is willing to help Sky City.

"Okay." Ximu answered, "Come and see my memory."

"No." The bald woman immediately refused, her face full of disgust, "You are the one who has been stained with Surtur's fire and blessed by the Witch of Death."

She took a step back.

"Reading the memory of someone like you, I... will be very dangerous."

"Not really." Ximu chuckled, raised his hand to lift the hair in front of his forehead, and smiled very calmly, "I don't have any memory to hide."

"Do you know some secret information about the Witch of Death?" The bald woman asked, looking at Ximu's silence.

She twitched her mouth.

"As expected, you know some secret information that ordinary people don't know, right?"

"I guess so." Ximu nodded, and the bald woman twitched her mouth when she heard it, and raised her hand to point at her face.

"Do you think I can still survive if I know this kind of secret information?"

From her point of view, Akhtar is a source of danger, and his mental state may be infected by Surtur's fire and go crazy.

Reading the memory of a crazy person would pollute her own mental state. Even if Akhtar's mental state was very normal, if she accidentally read the secret information about the witch of death, she might be killed.

The ability to read memories is indeed very powerful, but it does not mean that she is unscrupulous. If she reads information that she should not know.

Then she is not far from death.

"Then read Yaslaqi's memory." Ximu patted Yaslaqi's shoulders and whispered in her ear:

"It doesn't matter, for the safety of the sky city."

"... Yeah." Yaslaqi hesitated, but chose to believe Ximu's decision. She came to the bald woman with red eyes.

The bald woman scratched her head and rubbed the steel nails on her head with her fingers. This... is not too easy.

"You... don't have very dangerous memories in your mind?" She slowly stretched out her hand and asked in a joking tone.

Yaslaqi remained silent.

The bald woman's palm also touched Aslaqi's forehead, and her consciousness dived into Aslaqi's memory.

However, she saw the library.

In the center of the library, there was a mature woman with a mysterious and elegant temperament. She was concentrating on reading books at the table, ignoring everything in the outside world.

Who is that... woman?

The bald woman subconsciously walked over and observed the appearance of the mysterious woman. It was Hecate, who controlled the trajectory of all fate, the strongest astrologer in the world.

But she was not very scared.

Although Hecate was very strong, she had the Dragon Empire behind her, so she didn't need to be afraid of Hecate.

"Disciple, you really believe in your master." Hecate put down the book and looked at the bald woman.

The atmosphere was silent.

The bald woman began to feel bad, and subconsciously wanted to get away, but found that she couldn't move. She watched Hecate stretched out a finger to her and wrote a few words on her forehead.

That was about her destiny.

Damn... I was tricked!

...

...

At this time

Reality.

The bald woman pulled back her hand, and under everyone's gaze, she said, "She doesn't know about the magic of taking dragon power."

She sighed.

"Siegfried had long anticipated that we would read memories, so he didn't tell Aslaqi about the magic of taking dragon power."

"As expected of a dragon-slaying hero." Imar laughed, "It seems that he had long anticipated his own end."

"Then do you want to read my memory next?" Ximu laughed and lifted his hair in front of his forehead, "Or should we just... start a war?"

"It's not appropriate... to fight now." Matarina turned around, then tilted her head to look at Akhtar, and said:

"After you leave the Sky City, we will start to hunt you down." After she finished speaking, she left with several dragons.

If we fight with Akhtar now, all the dragons will have to face the counterattack of the Sky City, which will only lead to more casualties.

And if we start a war now, it's easy to be killed by Akhtar with one sword, and she doesn't want to fight with Akhtar.

It's better to wait for the dragons who are good at fighting to deal with it.

"Go back." Ximu retracted his gaze and looked at the surprised Yaslaqi without further explanation.

The fact that teacher Hecate is the witch of fate needs to be kept strictly confidential, otherwise... everyone knows that his teacher is the witch of fate.

That would hinder him from gaining experience points.

Let's imagine that before he draws his sword, the enemy slides to his knees and admits his mistake, or turns around and runs away.

This... is very boring, and there is no fun in fighting at all.

"..."

Seeing this, Yaslaqi was confused. Could it be that she was sealed with some dangerous memory, causing the bald woman who read the memory not to dare to say it out.

Why does it look so much like... a story made up by a third-rate bard.

Some strong man who was injured and lost his memory awakened when he encountered danger and frightened the enemy.

...

...

The next day.

Early morning.

"Akhtar, did he leave last night?" Yaslaqi sighed softly and asked Zed in front of him.

"Why didn't he say goodbye to me?"

Zed: "..."

How could she know such a thing? It was just that Akhtar found her last night and asked her to give the envelope to Yaslaqi tomorrow morning.

"Don't you want to implicate us?" Yaslaqi guessed Akhtar's thoughts. She turned her head and looked at the wind and snow outside the window, as if she saw Akhtar leaving in the middle of the night.

"If..."

"..."Zed showed a puzzled expression, but Aslaqi shook her head and raised her hand to gently brush the red hair beside her ear.

She asked Zed:

"What kind of woman can accompany Akhtar?"

"..."Zed was silent for a while, and said: "Sister Leticia will probably come to Sky City the day after tomorrow."

"Really." Aslaqi was silent for a while, showing a self-loathing expression, why would she want to steal her best friend's corner.

And Zed saw this and comforted, "Sister Leticia just knew that the boss returned to Sky City."

...

...

At the same time.

The Kingdom of Cardillon.

No... This is not so much a country as a huge slum. Compared with the wealth of Sky City, this country is famous for its poverty.

Thieves, liars, prostitutes, murderers, cultists, all the bad people you can imagine, gathered in Cardillon.

There is no hope.

There is no future.

The passing rats shook their heads when they saw this... They thought that they would starve to death or be caught and eaten by humans if they came to the Kingdom of Kadiron.

However, even in such a poor and chaotic country, a group of bigwigs have gathered, including the Saint from the Church of Blood, the Bishop from the Church of Lies, and well-known mercenaries from all sides.

And all this is to stop Mist.

"You... seem to have encountered, trouble?" Akhtar dismounted and looked at Mist leaning against the stone wall not far away, and said:

"Do you need help?"
