Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Go check it out.

Surtr selected one of the coordinates and attempted to activate the teleportation array.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned mine in the southeast of the empire.

Deep within the dark, damp mine, an astonishing chill emanates. Transparent ice crystals cling to the surface of the rocks, while hard ice pillars rise tilted from the ground, supporting a small space in a corner of the mine.

Surtr appeared inside the mine, and the slippery ground almost made her trip and fall.

this is a good news.

The teleportation works, and these ice crystals at least indicate that Esdeath was not crushed to death by the rocks.

Surtr's arrival drew the attention of something, and she spoke first before the other party could bring his sword to her body.

"It's me, it's me, I've come to save you."

Although she didn't know how Esdeath, without her clairvoyance, could so precisely stop the sword in front of her chest in such a dark place, she did manage to do it.

"That was Shangri-La's power. You killed the minister's stupid son?"

Esdeath's tone was so calm that it didn't sound like someone who had been trapped in a cave for days; there was no hoarseness in her voice.

However, for her, water is probably the easiest resource to obtain.

Furthermore, Surtr noticed that inside the cave, there was a not-so-long passage where she could see two ice puppets continuously digging with ice picks.

Hmm... I feel like even if she doesn't come, this guy will be able to get out on his own soon enough.

Unfortunately, she wanted to see him in a sorry state, but this is what happened.

"Yeah, I killed that guy."

"I don't think you're very happy to see that I'm still alive."

What keen intuition!

"No, that's your misconception."

Surtr immediately denied it.

"Alright, tell your doll to stop digging. I'll just send you back."

Esdeath nodded, retrieved the digging doll, and approached Surtr.

A flash of purple light appeared, and the two figures disappeared into the cave. They reappeared in a small alley in the capital city.

"What a convenient tool."

Looking at the familiar city before her, Esdeath couldn't help but marvel at how it could teleport thousands of kilometers in an instant, truly demonstrating its unparalleled mobility.

But as much as I feel sentimental, there are more important things to do now.

How far has the war progressed?

Esdeath asked, her tone impatient, which was probably not out of concern for the Empire, but rather a feeling that she would lose a lot if she missed it.

"It's only been a few days, so I don't know the specifics."

Surtr shrugged. All she knew was that the South was about to win; she didn't know anything else.

"Can you send me directly to the North?"

"No problem, but aren't you being a bit too hasty?"

With that, Surtr activated her Imperial Arms again, and the next moment, they arrived in the Northern Territory.

Thanks to Sheila for her hard work in marking things up; now she's benefiting from it.

After rejecting Esdeath's invitation to war, Surtr watched her disappear into the snow like a husky returning to its territory, then returned to his mansion in the Imperial Capital to quietly await news.

The result is visible to the naked eye.

Needless to say, the North is safe. With the return of the God of War, those foreign tribes are no match for Esdeath, and they probably won't be able to show their faces for at least another hundred years.

As expected, Najdhitan in the south achieved a complete victory. The other two alien tribes, seeing that the situation was hopeless, wisely ceased their desperate struggle and retreated to their own territories, waiting for the next opportunity.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the empire will give them another chance.

After handing over the useless trinkets confiscated from the Revolutionary Army to Jolly, she settled into a life of leisure at Esdeath's mansion.

This battle essentially wiped out all the resistance forces that were spying on the Empire, and Minister Jolly's reforms are now unimpeded.

Even if there are obstacles, it doesn't matter; it's just a matter of one sword strike.

Of course, she's no longer needed now; Jolly can handle the remaining two or three kittens.

She heard that the market has been particularly lively lately.

It's packed with people every day.

Peaceful days passed by until one day, this message popped up in Surtr's mind.

[Commission: Saving the Empire Completed]

[Rewards: 1200 Primogems, 3 random rewards]

[Current Originium: 10318.2]

Unbeknownst to her, her raw gems had exceeded ten thousand, with the Holy Grail undoubtedly making up the majority, resulting in a total gain of over four thousand.

Lately, she has rarely seen the Holy Grail provide her with any feedback. After sitting in the slums for more than a month, it seems that everyone who can make a wish has already done so.

To be honest, Miss Surtr actually felt that the quantity was a bit low.

After all, the population of slums is probably in the hundreds of thousands.

However, the thought that her Holy Grail could only grant some trivial wishes made her feel relieved; it was alright, this gain was not bad.

Let's go get the Holy Grail later.

Moreover, she felt it was about time for her to leave.

Najenda's wish has been fulfilled, and the restoration of the empire is only a matter of time. As for whether the young emperor can become a wise ruler, that depends on himself, and Miss Surtr can't guarantee anything.

Okay, let's go outside and farm some monsters one last time before leaving.

With that thought in mind, Surtr decided to close the panel.

But suddenly, a power on/off icon appeared abruptly in the lower right corner of the panel, and above the icon was an orange dot.

Upon clicking, the following message appeared.

[Restart and update]

The Sacred Round Table: Chapter One - Your Wish, I Did Indeed Receive It

a few days later.

Surtr bid farewell to his acquaintances in the Empire.

Those who knew her well knew that she was only staying in the capital temporarily, and upon hearing this, they felt that she had finally come.

Although it was regrettable, there were no major fluctuations.

Only Esdeath said something like, "If you're going to leave, let's have a fight before you go," and insisted on dragging her into a fight before letting her go.

Considering this was the last time, Miss Surtr generously granted her small wish.

The battle was somewhat convoluted, but the outcome speaks for itself.

After a whole day of hacking and slashing, Miss Surtr, with her super-long endurance, still managed to outmaneuver her opponent and successfully defeat him.

In just over ten days, this guy has become even stronger.

As expected, the other party is the chosen one of this world.

That's terrifying.

One morning, after saying goodbye to everyone.

Surtr carried his suitcase and quietly left the capital alone.

Because she already had a backpack, she didn't actually need this kind of thing, but she felt that carrying a suitcase would give her a more travel-like feeling, so she specially asked someone to prepare one beforehand.

A sense of ritual is still very important.

Passing through the towering city gates of the capital, a crimson orange glow spread outwards from the horizon. Winter had already arrived in the empire, and glistening white frost blanketed the earth. Surtr strolled across the mist-shrouded grass, his shoes making a crackling sound as they touched the frost.

"Let's do it here."

After arriving at the outskirts of the capital, she turned her head and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she found a flat stone, dried the dew with a flame, and sat cross-legged on it.

She didn't want to experience that humiliating fall again.

Open the panel.

After the update, the panel is not much different from before, still showing quests, inventory, and shop. However, a personal information module has been added in addition to these three options.

It can reveal one's own skills and equipment, but it's not very useful.

Leaving aside her equipment, she only has three skills in total.

She has Thousand-Mile Vision (A), Aura Concealment (A), and a skill called Fragment of the End (A). This is probably the source of her power.

Incidentally, Miss Surtr's race has also changed to a fire giant.

Well, that's not surprising; she felt from the beginning that she had probably already lost her human form.

Of course, none of these are the most important things.

the most important is.

Miss Surtr looked at the top of the panel.

There, the quantity of raw stones is about the same as a few days ago. If things go as originally predicted, there should be a surge in prices now.

Unfortunately, no, Miss Surtr hasn't gone out to farm in the last few days.

It's more accurate to say that even if you go out to farm in the jungle, it won't make a difference.

Because the loot drop mechanism has changed after this update.

Now, unless someone is as strong as Miss Surtr, even if you kill them, they won't drop any Originium.

This fundamentally eliminates the possibility of her trying to boost her score.

Even the most dangerous species are no match for her; scoring points is no longer an option.

Damn system, why did it have to update now of all times?

It's reasonable to suspect she's being targeted. Couldn't you have waited until she finished clearing the jungle before updating?

Surtr was indignant, but there was nothing he could do. He could only wait until he became stronger before trying to turn her into a little loli and train her properly.

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.

Dark thoughts began to grow in her mind, and Miss Surtr had already imagined the white-haired little girl whimpering beneath her.

Please don't think about anything strange. The update is a unified arrangement from above and has nothing to do with this system.

The slightly excited voice of the system girl echoed in my mind.

[Besides, it was you, host, who excitedly clicked on the update notification. You could have simply waited for the automatic update, which would have taken some time.]

"I thought there would be more rewards after the update, but who would have thought that I would just wipe them all out?"

Not every update can bring a more perfect experience to users, and Miss Surtr fully recognizes this reality.

"However, you really have become more eloquent after the update, which makes me even more excited now."

Please do not have any ill intentions towards the system.

A sweating soybean floated across the screen. Miss System had heard that many of her peers would eventually be captured by their own hosts to be their wives, and she suddenly felt her own system was turning gray.

"Don't worry, we're still a long way from that goal."

Surtr said things that did not reassure the leader at all.

Let's continue with the topic we just discussed. Although it's regrettable that the raw gem is gone, there are other things that Miss Surtr is satisfied with.

In the new mechanism, by defeating the right opponent, you can not only obtain Primogems, but also randomly acquire an item from the opponent.

It could be a physical object, or it could be certain skills; the result is random.

Physical items are undoubtedly the worst, since this isn't a game world where monsters automatically turn to ash or something, so there's no need for system rewards at all.

The skills will be slightly better, and if you're lucky, you might get some very valuable abilities.
