After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 564 - 225: The Girl as Brilliant as a Ruby

Lakefront Mansion.

The dying sunlight scattered across the lake surface, creating golden shimmering ripples, while a gentle breeze made one feel comfortable, lulling people towards sleepiness.

Xi Mu lay on a bench by the lake, his head resting on the knees of the Goddess of Salvation, his cheek covered with a book, his chest rising and falling slightly, indicating he was resting.

He had planned to take the Goddess of Salvation to watch a duel today, but they encountered opposition from the Goddess of Plague, who said it was not appropriate for the Goddess of Salvation to witness such a bloody scene, so they gave up the plan to go to the arena.

Meanwhile, the Goddess of Salvation, seated on the chair, held a book in her hands, diligently studying the material. It was a selection of books specifically chosen by the Magic Queen, covering everything from beginners to graduates, theoretically outlining a relatively standard knowledge system to reach the pinnacle of humanity.

A moment later.

"Teacher, I’ve memorized it all," the Goddess of Salvation closed the book and whispered to her teacher, who was resting on her knees.

Xi Mu then removed the book from his face, propped himself up into a seated position on the chair, and yawned:

"Let’s go, let’s visit Sky City." As he finished speaking, the scenery around them changed instantly; the mirror-like lake vanished, replaced by a bustling crowd and rows of tall buildings.

The Goddess of Salvation looked around; she was still sitting in a chair but not the same one as before. They had arrived in an entirely unfamiliar city.

However, she wasn’t panicked; this wasn’t her first time experiencing such a thing, as her teacher had the ability to teleport directly to different locations.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t learn this ability. According to her teacher, it involved leveraging a player’s ability to view the world as a map and then teleport freely.

She would have to acquire the teleportation ability through the process of "salvation" — meaning in a distant area where a world-threatening situation arose, and she couldn’t immediately get there on her own, thereby triggering her ability to teleport. Once she experienced teleportation once, she could unlock the ability herself.

According to her teacher, her abilities would eventually make her omnipotent as long as she was willing to diligently pursue the path of salvation.

"Sky City is a floating city in the sky, built essentially to escape the plague. Many wealthy people buy houses in Sky City to avoid Pestilence or to show off their status, indirectly contributing to the prosperity of Sky City." Xi Mu spoke of Sky City with familiarity, casually pointing towards the center of the city, "The master of this city has a good relationship with me; we’ll stay there overnight tonight."

The Goddess of Salvation curiously asked, "Is it another one of the teacher’s lovers?"

Xi Mu tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking into the Goddess of Salvation’s curious eyes and asked, "Who taught you the word ’lover’?"

"The Pestilence Witch," the Goddess of Salvation replied obediently, "She said teacher has many lovers, and you can sleep at many of your lovers’ houses."

"I don’t have that many lovers; don’t listen to her nonsense." Xi Mu waved his hand then began to show the Goddess of Salvation around Sky City, while also answering her questions and helping her build a related "salvation" understanding.

Some time later.

In a castle garden.

"The boss is in Sky City?" Jed revealed an astonished expression when looking at the photo Yasiraqi pulled out. It showed a girl with golden hair and amber eyes smiling at the air, as if someone was by her side.

She asked with confusion:

"What does this have to do with the boss?"

"Although I don’t know what ability Ahtal used to become invisible," Yasiraqi handed the photo to Jed and then explained:

"People close to Ahtal can see him, and by confirming who is with Ahtal, we can confirm Ahtal’s movements."

She took a sip from her teacup.

"The girl in the photo is Ahtal’s disciple, the recently emerged Goddess of Salvation."

Jed looked at the photo in his hands, where the girl’s smile was innocent yet radiant, making him feel at ease.

"How did you get such secretive information?"

"You just need to keep a close watch on Letixia and the Goddess of Plague," Yasiraqi answered. As the princess of Sky City, she had access to an intelligence network that extended across the world, allowing her to monitor places where Ahtal might appear and observe potential contacts to infer Ahtal’s current situation.

As a mortal, she couldn’t observe Ahtal directly, so monitoring the individuals related to Ahtal was the next best thing.

Therefore, shortly after the Goddess of Salvation appeared in Sky City, she deduced that Ahtal had come to Sky City.

"So it can be done like that," Jed realized and then saw Yasiraqi interlace her fingers, revealing a gentle smile.

"Then it’s up to you to invite Ahtal over."

"I can, of course," Jed glanced at the photo, then back at Yasiraqi, "But wouldn’t it be better if we went together?"

"I still have some things to prepare." Yasiraqi smiled, shaking her head while placing a finger to her lips, "Besides, this is a rare opportunity for you to spend time with Ahtal."

"Alright, I’ll go invite the boss over." Jed nodded and then inquired about the address before quickly leaving the castle.
