After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 21 Losing God’s Response
"Hey, brother, you also escaped from Lionheart City, right?" came the familiar and natural tone, and then a bottle of wine was placed on the table.

Ximu turned around and looked around. The person who came was a tall woman wearing a steel helmet, a tattered cloak, and a big sword hanging from her waist.

His temperament is as vicissitudes of life as that of a wandering knight.

I don't know the NPC, although it's a bit rude to say this, but Ximu really doesn't know this woman.

Every time the people escape from Lionheart City, there is a certain degree of randomness, and the location of the escape is not fixed.

"Judging from your tone, you just escaped here?" Leticia said with a smile, taking stock of the other person's condition.

"You seem to be feeling unwell?"

"Have you been discovered?" The burly woman scratched her head, took off her helmet and put it on the table, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"After escaping, I found that I seemed to be sick." She touched her chin and thought for a moment, "But maybe it's also a curse."

"Maybe I ran too fast." Leticia comforted her. She did not talk about her and Akhtar's physical condition.

In response, the burly woman smiled, leaned close to Leticia and whispered: "Can you tell me why you are not cursed?"

The atmosphere became stagnant.

Ximu stopped eating and looked at the burly woman with cold eyes. He had to conquer the giants next and had no time to waste on NPCs.

"Don't look at me with such indifferent eyes." As if she was a little embarrassed, the burly woman explained to the two of them with a generous smile.

"My name is Billis, an adventurer from White Pine Country."

"Sorry, this may not be the place to talk." Shaking her head, Leticia explained to the burly Bilisi.

"Let's talk somewhere else later."

"Then I'll treat you to this meal." Bilis smiled and treated her very generously. Anyway, in such a small town, there are no valuable dishes.

Then she took the initiative to tell another piece of information.

"The people who escaped from the Lionheart City were all plagued by a disease that looked like a curse. The weaker ones had fevers to the point of unconsciousness."

"Even the great magician can't do anything about the curse. As long as you are entangled with this curse, your body will continue to weaken."

"If you don't think of a way, you will definitely die."

The disaster that suddenly broke out in Lionheart City spread to the entire city, causing the death of a large number of residents, but even so, many people managed to escape.

However, escaping does not mean being rescued. Many people began to feel uncomfortable, vomiting blood, coma, high fever and other symptoms.

The curse still taints those who flee.

"What a tragedy." Leticia said softly, her emerald green eyes filled with thoughts. She and Akhtar were not affected by the curse, and their physical condition was not abnormal, unless it was her and Akhtar. Naturally resistant to curses.

Otherwise, there must be some reason to help them escape the effects of the curse, and Bilis wanted to know why they weren't affected.

Bilis smiled upon seeing this, looking at Leticia's surprised expression, guessing that the other party might not know either.

Thinking of this, she looked at Akhtar who was eating quietly, thinking that this man might know some information.

However, judging from the cold attitude of the other party, she is not as easy to get in touch with as Leticia, which may make this man hostile.

Things are a little tricky.

after a while.

Full of wine and food.

The three of them left the hotel and went to a hotel to rest. They were surprised to find that... there were no extra rooms.

"How about... come to my room?" Billis gave a thumbs up and pointed to the more shabby hotel next to her.

"Don't worry, adventurers don't pay too much attention to the differences between men and women."

"No need." Shaking his head, Ximu turned around and left the hotel, followed by Leticia and Bilis, to an ordinary house.

Then, a pretty widow came out. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and draped over her shoulders. She looked at the three people outside the door with wary eyes.

Then she heard the man quote a sky-high price of three hundred gold coins for a night's stay, and she was willing to pay on the spot.

There was silence.

"Please come inside!" The widow smiled broadly and welcomed the three guests into the house. She originally wanted to refuse.

But what they gave was really too much.

The currency value set in this game has completely different spending power in different regions and countries. In the rich city of Lionheart City, a luxurious dinner may cost thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins.

In the countryside, especially in small towns, a few hundred gold coins can make people smile, even if they sleep directly at the widow's house.

……

...

"I can't tell, you are quite rich." Bilis twitched her lips and watched the widow enthusiastically place three cups of hot tea on the table and add a few plates of fruit for them.

The treatment is better than in hotels.

"You guys chat, call me if you need anything." The widow said with a smile to everyone, and then closed the door gently.

The living room fell silent.

"We just happen to have the tools to resist the curse." Ximu slowly opened his mouth and explained to Bilis, "We don't have the ability to lift the curse."

He took out the Crow Helmet and placed it on the table.

"We are also confused about the curse. Maybe you should seek help from the priest."

Bilis looked at the crow hood and said disappointedly: "Although I had expected it, it is still very disappointing."

In fact, before coming into contact with Akhtar and Leticia, she realized that these two people were not very strong, and there was a high probability that there was no way to lift the curse.

However, after they took out the tools to resist the curse, they still felt disappointed. They were just lucky enough to carry the tools to resist the curse.

It's not that there's anything special about it.

"If you want to lift the curse, you must at least understand the source of the curse." Leticia suggested, and Bilis' expression became subtle upon hearing this.

She scratched her cheek and said mysteriously:

"I heard... I just heard that this curse came from the resentment of the god before his death. Someone assassinated the god, causing the curse to spread to the Lionheart City."

"How can God die?" Leticia retorted subconsciously. Even a three-year-old child understands that God has no concept of death and cannot be killed.

In response, Bilisi smiled mysteriously: "Any prayers about the God of Plague are useless now."

Leticia: "..."

Prayers related to gods are naturally based on the fact that God still exists. If God himself does not exist, then prayers cannot be answered.

And right now. "And the prayer of the omniscient God has also failed." Bilis said another shocking news.

The omniscient God who was believed to have created the world was unable to answer the prayers of believers. This was something that had never happened before.

Unless something goes wrong with the god himself.

"...!?" Leticia was so shocked by the sudden news that her pupils shrank, but Ximu beside her remained unmoved and drank tea quietly.

In fact, some of the speculations about Bilis were true. The goddess of plague did die, but the god of omniscience did not die.

Instead, he was pulled into a time flow by the Witch of Time, infinitely close to the static space, and sealed in disguise.

Therefore, the omniscient God cannot answer prayers.

When the game reaches the later stages and players reach different game endings, the sealed God of Omniscience will break away from the seal for various reasons and run out to fight with players.

After defeating the omniscient god, the game is over.

"You don't seem surprised at all?" Bilis looked at Ximu, who was quietly drinking tea and eating fruit, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Ximu said casually: "Don't make such silly jokes, God will never die."

"I'm not kidding." Bilis twitched the corner of her mouth, but she also knew that what she said would not be trusted by others.

She stood up and walked towards the door, waving her hands to the two of them.

"Forget it, since you have no way to solve the curse, you can only find other solutions."

"..."

Leticia looked at Bilisi's back, her emerald green eyes showing a thoughtful look.

In fact, she is not a person who respects the gods very much. Unlike Akhtar, who is a believer in the gods, she can accept the death of the gods.

But this will cause a problem.

If the god is really assassinated, then she will not be able to meet the god and obtain the legitimacy of the Iris Kingdom. It will be extremely difficult to regain the Iris Kingdom later.

Neither the church nor the nobility would necessarily support her in seizing the country.

"Don't worry, the gods will be fine." Ximu comforted Leticia, "No gods have fallen in the past 50,000 years. It is impossible for us to encounter the fall of gods in our generation."

"That's true." Nodding lightly, Leticia felt that it made sense. She also felt that she was not so unlucky. Not only was her sister usurping her inheritance rights, but she could also encounter such outrageous things as the death of gods.

"If you are really worried, you can also go to the God of Plague and the believers of the God of Omniscience." Ximu continued to comfort, "Just see if they can pray, and you can determine part of the information."

"Yes." Leticia nodded gently. She only needed to find the believers of the Plague Goddess to confirm whether the Plague Goddess was safe and sound.

Then, the desperate facts were revealed.

"Sorry, I can't get any response from the goddess."

In a remote alley, a devout priest, a believer of the Plague Goddess, leaned against the wall, his pale face filled with a little guilt.

"After that disaster, I can no longer use any prayers. If you want to be cured, go to the believers of the Goddess of Life."

Leticia: "..."

Nowadays, believers of the God of Plague are indeed unable to use any prayers related to the God of Plague. This shows that... there is a problem with God.

Can the ceremony to meet the gods still be held as scheduled?

"God, have you abandoned us?" the priest whispered to himself, his breathing becoming more and more rapid and painful, and more and more sweat appeared on his forehead.

He seemed to feel despair and pain at the lack of response from the Plague Goddess, but he did not think that the Plague Goddess was dead.

"God, please set your sights on your devout believers again."

"Maybe I just worked too long." Leticia knelt down and comforted the priest who was breathing weakly. "Today the Plague Goddess was a little... lazy."

"Really?" The priest seemed to be comforted and fell asleep peacefully. His breathing stopped and his soul went to the underworld.

"Perhaps it's because he was deeply affected by the curse and lost the ability to cast spells?" Ximu comforted Leticia, who was a little depressed.

He pointed to the street.

"Otherwise, let's find someone else."

"Yes." Nodding lightly, Leticia stood up, grabbed Ximu's wrist, and looked for followers of the Plague Goddess and the God of Omniscience.

Without exception, they were unable to hear the voice of the gods.

However, followers of other gods can use prayer. They are also infected by the curse, but have no effect on their spellcasting ability.

Return to the widow's house.

Leticia seemed very depressed. She might have been really unlucky, encountering the embarrassing situation of being assassinated by a god and unable to obtain legal inheritance rights.

Then she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

"What's the matter...Your Excellency Akhtar?" she asked softly, and saw Akhtar showing a very gentle smile to her.

"It doesn't matter, even if you can't get the recognition of the gods." Akhtar withdrew his hand and moved his wrist, "I can still help you take back the country."

"Your Excellency Akhtar, do you want to be an enemy of a country?" Letitia widened her eyes in surprise. Even if Akhtar is very capable, it is impossible to become an enemy of a country. to things.

Originally, her plan was to meet the gods, and after obtaining the legal inheritance rights, return to the country to win the support of the nobility and the church.

The road is now blocked.

"Have you forgotten that I am going to become Siegfried's apprentice?" Ximu smiled and explained to Leticia.

"I will try my best to gain Siegfried's support and help you take back the Kingdom of Iris."

"How should I repay you, Lord Akhtar?" Leticia pursed her lips hard, her voice filled with extremely complicated emotions.

She could no longer distinguish the emotions surging inside her.

"Then just smile." Akhtar said casually, raising his hand to wipe away Leticia's unconscious tears and looking at her smile.

"Go and rest, we will rush to the Sky City tomorrow."

"Yes." Leticia nodded lightly, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned her back to Ximu, and said softly.

"Sir Akhtar, do you... want to be the king?"

"I don't want to." Ximu replied casually, seemingly not hearing the implication. He was not interested in being a king. He only wanted the inheritance of Leticia's family, and the feeling of being able to kill while helping Leticia regain the kingdom. experience package.

He has no interest in anything else. Anyway, even if he becomes the king, there won't be many benefits.

"I'm going to rest." Leticia sighed, her back looking a little disappointed, and she slowly left the room.

Why are there such upright knights in this world?
