After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 70 - 40 Heading to Magic Kingdom_2

After she received Ahtal’s letter and confirmed the disappearance of the Volcano Temple, she felt the whole world had lost its color.

It wasn’t until she heard that Ahtal was still alive that the world regained its color and her silent heart became active again.

Now she could cry out loud.

Not far away, Fifine also ran over, slowing her pace as she saw Letixia tightly embracing Ahtal.

Then she stepped back a few steps and hid behind a nearby tree.

After a while,

Letixia composed herself, slightly embarrassed as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered to Ahtal,

"I’m sorry, Lord Ahtal." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"It’s okay." Xi Mu did not mind being embraced tightly, as long as Letixia was happy. He wouldn’t mind a few more such embraces.

"By the way, Lord Ahtal." Letixia smoothed her skirt, sat down next to Xi Mu on the wooden stump, and her voice grew softer.

"What do you think of the power of the Sword of Light?"

Xi Mu answered immediately: "It’s strong."

For early players, the Sword of Light was indeed very strong, but if players were patient, they could also max out the level of other weapons.

As long as they could max out their weapon’s level, its performance wouldn’t be much worse than the Sword of Light’s. If they could trick the Witch of Death into giving them the blueprint for weapons capable of killing deities, then the difficulty of killing deities would be greatly reduced.

"Using the Sword of Light against Siegfried would also be effective." Letixia turned her head, her voice even fainter.

"I can lend the Sword of Light to you for use."

"Would that be okay?" Xi Mu asked back, and Letixia fell silent for a moment, pursed her lips, and said:

"We’ve already signed the blood contract, so even if you want to stay and become the King of the Iris Flower Kingdom, there’s no problem."

She turned her head, raised her hand, and gently touched her chest.

"Lord Ahtal, I want to complete the ritual of the blood contract with you in the Iris Flower Kingdom, in front of the Goddess of Life."

"As long as you are willing, everything in the Iris Flower Kingdom can be yours, including me and the Sword of Light."

Xi Mu was silent for a moment, then, under Letixia’s gaze, drew the Sword of Light that was next to him.

He spoke,

"Having everything might be too greedy. Just lending me the Sword of Light for a while is enough."

Letixia pursed her lips, unwillingly asked: "Lord Ahtal, do you not like me?"

"Once I kill Siegfried, I will return the Sword of Light to you." Xi Mu smiled and said to Letixia:

"Let’s discuss today’s matter then."

"...Okay." Letixia fell silent, then smiled. Although her proposal was rejected, she wasn’t too dejected.

Liking Ahtal was her own matter, and she didn’t necessarily have to force Ahtal to like her in return. Moreover, she would try to make Ahtal fall for her.

Xi Mu smiled, reinserted the Sword of Light into the ground beside him, and continued to talk with Letixia while wiping his Red Dragon Blood Armor with a rag.

However, before long, a beautiful knight arrived in haste and informed Letixia that dwarves had come to break into the prison.

Consequently, Letixia hurriedly left.

Till night fell.

Letixia finished her work and squeezed in some time to visit the ruined house outside the city, but she no longer saw Ahtal’s figure, only a farewell letter left on the table.

...

...

Meanwhile,

On the way to Sky City.

Pterodactyls soared high.

Xi Mu and Yasiraqi sat on the back of a pterodactyl, facing the comfortable sea breeze, with the Iris Flower Kingdom shrinking behind them.

"Aren’t you going to tell her you’re about to die?" Yasiraqi looked at the silver knight beside her, whose life was already nearing its end.

But he still remained calm.

"Whether I die or not is my own business," Xi Mu casually responded, as he was now only focused on quickly reaching the Magic Kingdom and didn’t care much about other matters.

And as Yasiraqi looked at the stubborn man, she laughed and said, "If she knew you had turned into kindling, she would probably completely break down."

Xi Mu calmly replied, "As long as I don’t die in front of her, it’s fine."

"If it were me, I would accompany her through the last moments of her life," Yasiraqi said as if persuading, while the silver-clad knight beside her remained unmoved.

This man was really hard to label, unsure whether to call him too gentle or too detached.

Such a pity for such a brilliant talent, if he could grow normally, he would surely make a name for himself in history.

He should be admired by future generations.

"I might not necessarily die," Xi Mu, lying on the back of a winged dragon, turned his head to look at the red-haired Yasiraqi whose hair fluttered with the wind, and said jokingly:

"Maybe I could completely master the fire of Surter, and in the future, I might even kill the Flame Giant Surter."

"Even an Evil God is a god; they don’t have the concept of death," Yasiraqi rolled her eyes, then seemed to remember something.

"Right, you escaped from Lionheart Castle, didn’t you?"

Xi Mu replied, "Yes."

"The disaster that broke out in Lionheart Castle stemmed from the fall of a god," Yasiraqi, with her hands propped on the back of the winged dragon, spoke in an indifferent tone.

"There will definitely be a lot of troublesome things happening next."

...

Xi Mu inquired with a questioning look, and after a moment of thought, Yasiraqi explained to him.

"Since the Goddess of Plague is dead, that means the plague will disappear, and All Gods will surely send down other disasters."

"And whoever was capable of assassinating a god must be a very troublesome being, possibly leading to major disasters."

He guessed correctly.

Xi Mu thought so, as the gods were sure to find a way to send down other disasters to adjust the life balance of this world, and the witches would surely cause trouble too.

In any case, this world would only get worse, unless one had a certain level of strength, ordinary people could only dream of dying.

"Oh well, guessing these things is meaningless," Yasiraqi shook her head and took out a letter, "This is Buchi’s recommendation letter."

Xi Mu took the recommendation letter and glanced at it, indeed it was a letter recommending him to Hecate.

"Should we head straight to the Magic Kingdom, or return to Sky City for a while?" Yasiraqi asked with a smile, "I can accompany you on either journey."

"Do you also want to go to the Magic Kingdom?" Xi Mu put away the recommendation letter and looked at the city by the coast, "That place is in chaos, isn’t it?"

"If you can go, why can’t I?" Yasiraqi frowned slightly and said somewhat discontentedly, "Besides, my strength is certainly stronger than yours."

She extended a pale finger, and a flame appeared at its tip.

"You haven’t awakened your ability yet, right?"

"No," Xi Mu answered immediately; the so-called ability in this game was a unique power attached to the characters once they reached level sixty.

This was a game mechanism specifically designed by the game’s officials for playability and to increase the game’s difficulty, requiring players to consider different response strategies based on their characters’ different abilities and develop corresponding evasion techniques.

And Yasiraqi’s ability was quite simple, being wealthy... ahem, I mean fire, able to ignite flames with high destructive power without using incantations.

It was a very ordinary ability.

However, compared to other inconspicuous NPC entries, such as only being able to read the minds of ants or only being able to see one second into the past, it was still quite useful.

"You must be close to awakening your ability, aren’t you?" Yasiraqi suddenly asked, holding a high estimation of Ahtal’s capabilities.

However.

Xi Mu focused his attention on his visibility, and the attribute panel clearly showed his power level.
