After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 26 The Origin of Sky City

"That man seems to be a more traditional knight." The dagger gently opened the curtains, and the short killer looked through the gap in the curtains to observe the hotel a thousand meters away.

Then, a purple arrow passed through his head.

The killer's body fell back irresistibly, his right eye was penetrated, and the blood stained the floor red.

The atmosphere froze briefly.

"Hide!" The killer leader reacted immediately, giving orders to all the killers present, and setting an example by hiding next to the closet.

Several killers present also reacted and quickly found bunkers. At this time, they already understood that the killers sent out had been eliminated by Akhtar.

Now start sniping them in the opposite direction.

at the same time.

On the eaves within a hundred meters nearby.

Ximu put down the meteorite bow, handed the big bow to Leticia beside him, and then raised his hand to grab the hunting king's sword behind him.

"I'll get rid of them." He said to Geed and Leticia, jumped off the eaves and walked towards the hotel where the killer was hiding.

Leticia looked at this scene and did not try to dissuade her. Instead, she drew her bow and arrow and locked the room where the killer was hiding.

In fact, she is not only good at magic, she is also good at swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, and daggers. She has received professional training since she was a child.

Within a hundred meters, she used magic to locate the trajectory of the arrow, and it was absolutely impossible for her to miss the arrow. Otherwise, she would be too disappointed with the careful teachings of the palace instructor.

I don’t know if Ximu will be surprised when he learns that she is good at bow and arrow.

"These killers are really perseverant." Shaking his head slightly, Geed looked around with vigilant eyes, holding the dagger he got from the female killer, guarding against assassins who might appear at any time.

Since Leticia wants to snipe and kill the enemy, she naturally assumes the obligation of a protector to prevent anyone from harming Leticia.

at the same time.

A hundred meters away.

Ximu walked into the dark hotel alone, and with the echo of footsteps, he got closer and closer to the room where the killer was.

If he went to find the city guards of Sky City now, he would be able to deal with these killers without having to do anything himself, and he would also be able to enjoy a soft big bed and a delicious dinner.

However, this would cause him to waste his experience pack, so his choice was to take action himself and deal with these killers one by one.

Suddenly he stopped and stabbed upward with the Hunting King's sword in his hand. With the sound of flesh being penetrated and torn, Ximu swung the Hunting King's sword hard, and a corpse with its chest pierced was thrown towards the aisle in front of him. .

Along with the sliding, a long blood trail was drawn on the ground.

"When it comes to assassination skills, you are too immature." The chuckles echoed, and Ximu challenged the hidden killers, "In the end, you are just a group of killers who risk your lives with the meager bounty given by the town owner. "

He casually swung the sword and pierced the wall beside him. As the shadow of the wall distorted, a killer vomiting blood was revealed. The eyes looking at him seemed to be questioning.

Why did he find out what he was hiding?

Without answering, Xi Mu casually swung the hunting king's sword and threw the body forward. As the body slid, a hidden mechanism was triggered, and poisonous arrows were shot out and nailed to the floor.

At this moment, a rebuttal came.

"If we are a third-rate killer rewarded by the town owner, then you are just a village man protecting the town owner's daughter."

There is a huge gap between countries in this world, which is somewhat similar to reality. A vast land occupying a continent is also a country.

And occupying several hills can also be a country.

However, although they are both countries, there is no comparison at all. Although Letitia's country is not really a small town, it cannot be compared with a vast country.

"Then we villagers can't beat you, it's so pitiful." Ximu said jokingly, stopping in front of the stairs going upstairs.

In front of him was a killer holding two knives. He manipulated the knives flexibly with both hands and had a wicked and confident smile.

Three seconds later.

Ximu passed by the killer holding two knives, and the killer's confident and evil smile had turned into a bloody mess.

The experience points provided by this group of killers began to decrease. The second princess of the Iris Kingdom was not willing to spend money, so why did the quality of the killers hired be so poor.

Before optimization, the quality of the killers that came was getting better and better with each wave. As long as the card rhythm was appropriate, you could harvest a wave of experience points every once in a while.

Arriving at the top of the building, seven or eight corpses had accumulated behind Ximu, all of them assassins who came to try to kill him.

When he was a newbie, he was so tortured by these killers that he would die if he didn't pay attention.

But now he can regard these killers as activity experience packages and cannot threaten his own safety.

"Why...protect that woman?" The killer leader had already appeared in the corridor. He looked at the silver knight holding a big sword and walking towards him step by step. He felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine.

"She can't give you anything. On the contrary, if you kill her, we can give you nine-tenths of the bounty."

"When I help her take back the country, it will all be mine." The knight in silver chuckled, his steps still not stopping, the blood-stained sword of the Hunting King touched the ground lightly, as if it was an ink pen stained with red paint, drawing on the ground A long trail of blood.

The killer leader finally understood this. The knight in front of him was not upright, but had strong ambitions.

It was not for justice, nor to protect the princess, but to... seize the country of iris. This man's goal at the beginning was not pure.

"On your own, it is impossible to seize the country of iris!" He wanted to continue to persuade, but the silver knight still did not stop.

He couldn't help but take a step back, knowing that the opponent's armor and weapons were like the protagonist in a heroic story.

But there is a feeling of facing a crazy demon.

"Since you don't listen to the advice, I have no choice but to kill you." With a regretful sigh, the killer leader took out the dagger and threw it at the Ximu door. With the sound of the dagger breaking through the air, he suddenly Turn around and jump towards the open window, as gracefully and naturally as a diver.

Then a purple arrow penetrated his head, and the body lost control in mid-air, flipped over and fell to the street.

"..." Ximu stood by the window, looking at the twitching corpse of the killer that fell on the street, and calmly withdrew his gaze.

"Forget it, this group of people only have that much experience anyway." He shook his head, left the hotel, took Leticia and Geed, went to the city guard to report, and explained what happened tonight. Reveals that he is Siegfried's apprentice.

The rest of the matter was easy to deal with. The city guards carried buckets to clean the blood stains in the hotel and disposed of the bodies of the killers.

And they also changed to a safe residence and spent a peaceful night under the protection of the city guards.

And at the same time.

In a remote alley. "It's really hard to kill." A mature woman with long brown hair leaned against the wall with a disdainful smile on her lips.

"Give up, I don't want to die here." After saying that, she turned and left without hesitation. The assassins who assassinated Akhtar before were all a group of foolhardy guys.

After she confirmed that Akhtar was difficult to deal with, she did not plan to take action against Akhtar. After all, being a killer was to make money, and there was no need to risk her own life.

Unless the second princess Iris adds money.

……

...

The next day.

early morning.

There was a shimmer in the sky, and the whole town came to life. Carriages passed by, and the open shops smelled of tempting food.

By the lake, a pure white boat docked.

"Lord Akhtar, this is the ship heading to the Sky City." A man in a suit said to the silver knight in front of him:
"When you get up there, there will be specialized personnel to receive you to see His Majesty."

"Yes." With a slight nod, Ximu took Leticia and Geed into the boat. Under the gaze of the man, he walked away, boarded the backward waterfall, and sailed towards the City in the Sky.

……

...

"It's really magical. We are obviously ascending to the sky, but it is no different from standing on the ground." Geed looked at the scenery outside the ship and saw that the towns below were getting smaller and smaller, but the field of view was constantly broadening, as if the entire The world comes into view.

She has been to the Sky City Station before, but she has never boarded the Sky City. After all, the cost of going to the Sky City is too expensive, and the consumption in the Sky City is also very expensive.

There is no need. An adventurer like her would not take the initiative to go to the Sky City.

"Sister Leticia, do you know anything about the City in the Sky?" She suddenly thought of something and looked at Leticia expectantly.

To her, Leticia seemed to know everything. Apart from not being frank about her feelings, she basically had no shortcomings.

In response, Leticia smiled slightly: "I don't know much about the City in the Sky, but I do know some information."

She thought for a moment and composed her words.

"The City in the Sky was originally a city that existed on the ground, but then a sage appeared and he used a secret magic to drag the entire city into the sky."

"The reason for doing this is to escape the disease brought by the God of Plague. He believes that the city in the sky is isolated from the world and cutting off contact with the outside world before the disease breaks out can prevent the disease from spreading to his country."

"However, it is precisely for this reason that many wealthy dignitaries spent a lot of money to buy a property in Sky City in order to seek stability during the epidemic, thus causing the Sky City to become highly prosperous."

"Every inch of land is valuable. This is not an adjective. It is the real situation in the Sky City. In addition to the real estate originally allocated to the aborigines, outsiders who want to obtain the residential area of ​​the Sky City will not be able to obtain it even if they work for three lifetimes or ten lifetimes. possible."

"By the way, the mainstream belief in Sky City is not about gods, but about the sage who pulled the city into the sky. People think that the sage is the manifestation of the god."

"For this reason, the residents of the Sky City will also create a magnificent temple for the sage."

Having said this, she looked at Akhtar who was standing aside and smiled.

"We can visit it when we have time. The sage's temple is still worth a visit."

"Let's go and have a look if you have time." Xi Mu seemed to be a little uninterested and not interested in the so-called sage's temple.

He has been to that place many times. Except for the initial shock, every subsequent visit was to complete the side plot and was not interested in the magnificent temple at all.

Sometimes he would find it disgusting as to why these NPCs built the temple so big. It was a bit laborious to run and wasted a lot of his time.

"Boss, you seem...not in a good mood?" Jade was keenly aware of Ximu's lack of interest, and it was clear that now was the time to be happy.

In this regard, Ximu explained casually:
"I'm not good at it. Dealing with those nobles and kings makes me very distressed just thinking about it."

This was a lie. He just felt that this cutscene was too long, but he couldn't skip it and felt bored.

If it weren't for getting Siegfried's magic, he wouldn't have wasted too much time on such meaningless cutscenes.

However, for the sake of immersion, the game official can only run the map arduously, unless he waits for him to unlock the anchor point teleporter.

That is, a person with abilities who can take people to teleport.

However, that ability user is in another country, and it will take a lot of effort to conquer it. It is obviously too late now.

"If Your Excellency Akhtar is not good at dealing with it, what about me?" Leticia took the initiative to speak, her green eyes a little erratic, "As long as I am Your Excellency Akhtar's girlfriend, or fiancée, in name. "

She used as calm and objective a tone as possible.

"Then I can communicate with the nobles on behalf of Lord Akhtar. I am also good at this aspect."

The atmosphere became subtle.

Geed covered his mouth with his hands. This must be a confession and courtship. Although it was not stated directly, anyone with a slightly higher emotional intelligence would be able to understand it.

however.

"Please." Ximu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Leticia. He didn't seem to notice the hint in Leticia's words.

Beside her, Geede's expression dropped. Does her boss really don't understand, or is he pretending not to understand? This is basically a confession, and he can win over Sister Leticia and reach the peak of his life.

No matter in terms of appearance, knowledge, character, or ability, she felt that Sister Leticia was impeccable. Why didn't the boss react much?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ximu asked curiously, looking at Jade's slumped face.

Jade shook his head and sighed: "Boss, a man who is too upright will miss many beautiful things."

"Really?" Ximu nodded slightly, then turned to Leticia and said, "By the way, since we are going to pretend to be a couple, we have to pretend to be a thorough one, starting with giving each other gifts. Bar."

He handed over a gem necklace that he had looted in the Crucible City.

"Although it's not an expensive gift, it feels pretty nice."

"This is the bracelet my mother gave me." Leticia lowered her head, took out a bunch of bracelets, and exchanged them with Akhtar's gift.

Ged looked at this scene and began to be a little confused. Was it because the boss really didn't understand Sister Leticia's intentions, or he didn't accept it for some reason.

If she hadn't known that her boss was reliable, she would have thought that the boss was deliberately hanging on Letitia.
