After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 98 You seem to need help

"...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 and looked 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, a dragon has surrounded the Sky City!"

"..."

Hearing this, Ximu stood up immediately. 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 Aslaqi 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 go of the Sky City. 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 lack of elegance, 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 said in a calm voice, looking at Emaar mockingly:

"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.

Yimar's face turned cold, he stared at Aslaqi unhappily, and asked:
"It seems that 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 matters regarding Sky City 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 party said was true.

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

After she was let go 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 wicked smile. "That woman is extremely arrogant. It is impossible for people to pry into her memory casually."

"Prying into memories?" Aslaqi frowned in displeasure, and then heard the female dragon answer.

"This is to ensure that no one except you and Akhtar knows about the magic to capture the power of the dragon." Matalina smiled, "As long as we can confirm that the magic to capture the power of the dragon has not been leaked, there is no need to disclose the entire Castle in the Sky Shot Down.”

She turned to look at the bald woman with nails stuck in her head.

"Haney has the ability to read memories. Just let her read your memories to ensure that no outsider knows the magic to capture the power of the dragon."

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

Asraqi did not answer immediately. Of course she had leaked the Dragonborn's magic. Not only she and Akhtar knew about it, but Hecate also knew about the Dragonborn's magic.

Matarina didn't rush her when she saw this.

Memory cannot lie. As long as Aslaqi can make a decision, she is willing to help Sky City.

"Okay." Ximu replied, "Let's take a look at my memory."

"No." The bald woman refused immediately, with disgust written on her face, "You are someone who has been contaminated by the fire of Surtur and has been blessed by the Witch of Death."

She took a step back.

"It would be very dangerous for me to read the memories of people like you."

"That's not true." Ximu chuckled, raising his hand to lift his hair from his forehead, smiling very calmly, "I don't have any memory that needs to be concealed."

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

She twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Sure enough, you know some secret information that ordinary people don't know, right?"

"So be it." Ximu nodded, and the bald woman twitched her lips when she heard this, and raised her finger to point at her face.

"Do you think I can survive knowing this secret information?"

From her point of view, Akhtar is a source of danger, and his mental state may have been infected by the Fire of Surtur and gone crazy.

Reading the memory of a crazy person will cause her own mental state to be contaminated. Even if Akhtar's mental state is very normal, accidentally reading the secret information about the Death Witch may lead to death. . The ability to read memories is indeed very powerful, but this does not mean that she is unscrupulous in case she reads information that she should not know.

Then she is not far from death.

"Then read Aslaqi's memory." Ximu patted Aslaqi's shoulder, leaned into her ear and said:
"It doesn't matter, for the safety of Sky City."

"...Hmm." Aslaqi hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe in Ximu's decision. She came to the bald woman, her red eyes stern.

The bald woman scratched her head and rubbed her fingers against the steel nails on her head. Isn't this... too easy?

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

Aslaqi remained silent.

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

However, saw the library.

In the center of the library, there is a mature woman with a mysterious and elegant temperament. She is sitting at the table and reading books attentively, paying no attention to everything outside.

Who is that... woman?
The bald woman subconsciously walked over and observed the appearance of the mysterious woman. It was Hecate, the most powerful astrologer in the world who controls the trajectory of all fates.

But she wasn't very scared.

Although Hecate is strong, she has the Dragon Empire at her back, so there is no need to be afraid of Hecate.

"Apprentice, you really believe in being a teacher." Hecate put down the book and her eyes fell on the bald woman.

The atmosphere fell silent.

The bald woman began to feel something bad and subconsciously wanted to leave, but found that she could not move. She watched as Hecate stretched out a finger towards her and wrote a few words on her forehead.

That is describing her destiny.

Damn...I was tricked!

……

...

at this time.

reality.

The bald woman withdrew her hand and said under everyone's gaze: "She doesn't know about the magic of capturing the dragon's power."

She sighed.

"Siegfried had long expected that we would read the memory, so he didn't tell Aslaki the magic to capture the power of the dragon."

"He is worthy of being a dragon-slaying hero." Emaar laughed, "It seems that he has already anticipated his ending."

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

"It's not the right time to... fight." Matalina turned around, then tilted her head and looked at Akhtar, and said:
"After you leave the Sky City, we will start hunting you." After saying this, she left with a few giant dragons.

If they fight Akhtar now, all the dragons will have to face the Sky City's counterattack, which will only lead to increased casualties.

Moreover, it is easy to be killed by Akhtar's sword when fighting now. She does not want to fight Akhtar.

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

"Go back." Ximu withdrew his gaze and looked at the surprised Aslaqi without giving an in-depth explanation.

The fact that the 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 prevent him from gaining experience points.

You might as well imagine that before he drew his sword, the enemy would kneel down and admit his mistake, or turn around and run away.

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

"..."

When Aslaqi saw this, she became confused. Could it be that she had some dangerous memory sealed, so that the bald woman who read the memory did not dare to say it.

Why does it sound like... a story made up by a third-rate bard?

A strong man who suffered amnesia due to injury woke up when he was in danger and startled his enemies.

……

...

the next day.

early morning.

"Akhtar, you left last night?" Aslaqi sighed softly and asked Geed in front of her.

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

Geed: "..."

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

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

"if……"

"..." Jade showed a confused expression, but Aslaqi shook her head and raised her hand to lightly touch the red hair beside her ears.

She asked Geed:
“What kind of woman can stay with Akhtar?”

"..." Jade was silent for a moment and said, "Sister Leticia, she will probably come to the Sky City the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" Aslaqi was silent for a moment, showing an expression of self-disgust. Why would she want to pry into the corner of her best friend.

Seeing this, Geed comforted him, "Sister Leticia just knows that the boss has returned to the Sky City."

……

...

at the same time.

Kingdom of Cadiron.

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

Thieves, liars, prostitutes, murderers, cultists, every bad person imaginable, gathered in Cadiron.

There is no hope.

No future.

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

However, such a poor and chaotic country has now gathered a group of big figures, including saints from the Church of Blood, bishops from the Church of Lies, and well-known mercenaries from all sides.

And all this is to stop Mist.

"You...seem to be troubled?" Akhtar dismounted, looked at Mister who was leaning on the stone wall not far away, and said:
"Do you need help?"
