After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 42 Strengthening Equipment
The battle is over.

The elf knelt on the ground feebly, grabbing the sword pierced into his chest with both hands, and slowly lowered his head. When Ximu saw this, he drew out the hunting king's sword, blood flowed out, and the elf's corpse fell to the ground in front of him.

Then the black flames symbolizing death wrapped the elf's body and burned it to ashes.

"So handsome!" A girl in the audience exclaimed, covering her pretty red face, wanting to have sex with the knight in the duel.

However, there was a disdainful snort from the side. She subconsciously turned around and saw a man with short white hair and his upper body exposed. He looked very unhappy.

"It's a pity that he will die soon." The white-haired man stood up and suddenly jumped into the duel arena.

He stood in front of Ximu and looked down.

"Your breath is disgusting."

"..."

Ximu looked at the humanoid dragon in front of him with cold eyes and asked, "Is it because I was cursed by the dragon?"

"It seems that you understand the cause of your upcoming death." The white-haired man smiled dangerously and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Revenge for one's own kind, isn't this a sufficient reason?"

"..."

Ximu said nothing. The humanoid dragon in front of him had a level of over ninety. Unless he used the Sword of Light to fight against the enemy, there was no chance of winning.

But he didn't care about the threat of the dragon. In the Magic Kingdom, he could experience the pleasure of eating soft food and being protected by a mature big sister.

No need to worry about the obvious dangers.

"Ha~ Apprentice, I didn't expect you to be a hero who slays dragons." A gentle female voice pretending to be surprised came. Ximu looked along the place where the voice came from, and saw Hecate appearing beside him at some unknown time, and then walked towards him. Take a step forward.

Her beautiful body stood in front of Xi Mu.

"I will not regard threats to my beloved disciple as a joke, but as a provocation to my "Hecate"."

Hecate's voice was cold.

"Dragon, do you want to be my enemy?"

"..."

The white-haired man's pupils tightened, he looked at the indifferent Hecate, and then suddenly laughed out loud: "Private fights are not allowed in the duel arena, so forget it."

He took a few steps back and looked at Ximu's cold expression.

"Human, you have a very reliable teacher." After saying that, he flew away without stopping at all.

If he continued to stay and continue the confrontation, he was also a little worried that Hecate would invite him to a duel, and he would be a bit unable to stand down at that time.

To refuse is to be cowardly, and to say yes is suicidal.

"That man is actually Hecate's apprentice?!"

"It's really enviable!"

"Why is he able to become Hecate's apprentice? Is it because of his face?"

"Maybe it's just good luck." There was a low-pitched discussion from the audience, obviously very surprised.

Some people were envious, some were...jealous, and some even cast hostile glances at Ximu. They changed from focusing on Ximu as the winner to seeing that Ximu was actually Hecate's disciple.

In the Magic Kingdom, there are people who wish for Hecate to die, and there are also people who admire Hecate.

But they all admit one thing, that is, Hecate, a genius magician, has the power to influence the situation in the Magic Kingdom.

And Hecate didn't care when people talked about her. After all, as long as she appeared in people's sight, it would easily trigger discussions and crowds.

"Apprentice, let's go." She turned around and took Ximu away, followed by the sound of everyone talking.

The two of them walked into the corridor.

"The dragon's curse is a bit troublesome." Hecate pinched her chin, looked at the silent apprentice beside her, and said as if it was a joke:

"Do you want to stay with me until you have the strength to protect yourself?"

Ximu shook his head: "I still have very important things to do."

If it was the first week, he would be very interested in staying with Hecate and enjoying Hecate's gentle teachings.

But now he just wants to refresh the game speed record.

"Did you kill Siegfried?" Hecate put down the hand holding her chin, looked at her apprentice's surprised expression, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"You don't know a teacher as well as a resident of the Magic Kingdom." At this point, she showed an angry expression.

"Apprentice, what follows is a very strict teaching. The master will teach you how to obtain the revelation of destiny through astrology."

you're lying.

Although Ximu was thinking this in his heart, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he asked seriously:

"Does studying start today?"

"Hahaha...can't wait to learn?" Hecate showed a satisfied smile, then shook her head regretfully, "My teacher will prepare teaching materials specially for you."

She thought about it.

"Lectures will officially begin tonight."

"Excuse me, teacher." Ximu nodded and responded in a serious voice, while Hecate looked at her apprentice's serious look, shook her head and chuckled.

"You don't need to be so serious. You can get along with your teacher more naturally. As long as it doesn't involve teaching magic, it's easy to get along with your teacher."

"Okay." Ximu nodded. His current state is more like a young man who doesn't know how to deal with a big sister he's not familiar with. For a mature big sister like Hecate, he has a certain confidence in him. This young apprentice's delusion can also inspire Hecate's protective desire.

Facing the powerful Yu Jie and unable to suppress her with strong strength for the time being, it would be an option to let Yu Jie conquer him instead.

Shaking her head, Hecate also knew that her apprentice was still wary of her. Who asked her to tell her that she wanted to become a witch in front of her apprentice.

Therefore, it is impossible for the apprentice to maintain a relaxed and natural attitude towards getting along with him in a short period of time.

However, she had the patience to let her apprentice down his guard.

"Apprentice, stretch out your hand." She suddenly stopped and looked at Ximu's slightly hesitant stretched out hand.

Hecate took out a string of bracelets and put them on Ximu.

"This keeps you safe."

"...Thank you, teacher." Ximu hesitated slightly and said thank you softly, while Hecate shook her head and looked towards the end of the corridor.

"They are already waiting for you outside the duel venue." After saying that, under Xi Mu's gaze, she turned into starlight and disappeared.

Ximu looked at the bracelet tied to his wrist and raised his hand to touch it. It was a silver bracelet that could provide the player with a period of false health. Before this period of false health was consumed, it would naturally be Immune to most damage.

However, if you encounter an enemy that is too strong, the false life and your own health bar will be cleared in an instant.

But considering his current level, it is useful.

Putting down his hand, Ximu walked out of the corridor, only to see Geed and Aslaqi running over, obviously looking for him.

"You really like duels." Aslaqi came to Ximu and frowned slightly, "With your current physical condition, you should fight less."

"Yes." Geed nodded with concern in his voice, "A too fierce battle will cause the Fire of Surtur, which will accelerate the burning of your life, boss." He already understood the current situation of Ximu, who was killed by Surtur. Fire infection becomes firewood. As long as it experiences high-intensity battles, it will automatically burn to increase strength and accelerate the burning of vitality.

Ximu shook his head slightly and showed the bracelet he was wearing: "It doesn't matter, the teacher has replenished my vitality."

"Teacher, you mean Hecate?" Aslaki immediately reacted and asked Ximu, "When did you meet?"

"In the hotel living room, in front of you." Ximu answered immediately, making Aslaqi look disappointed.

"What a mysterious lady."

He had no doubts about what Ximu said. After all, Hecate was a mysterious and elusive existence in people's eyes.

Ximu seemed to notice her loss and comforted her:
"The teacher will come to me to teach me in the evening."

"Really?" Aslaki looked expectant. As the princess of the Sky City, she actually had a way to meet Hecate through official means.

However, she originally came here without telling her father, and meeting Hecate through Ximu's relationship can better bring the relationship between the two parties closer.

That might allow Hecate to do her best to interpret the Dragonborn.

"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to repair the armor before?" She changed the subject and smiled at Ximu:

"I have invited a dwarf master to meet."

"Thank you." Ximu thanked him, and Aslaqi smiled after hearing this, and took him and Geed into a carriage to go to the meeting place with the dwarf master.

after a while.

In a tavern.

In the box.

The white-haired dwarf was lying on the ground, holding the empty wine bottle with one hand, his body motionless, as if he was dead.

"Dead?" Jade looked around cautiously, but Ximu didn't react at all when he heard the words. He came to the dwarf and pushed him.

"Here we come, I've been waiting for a long time." The white-bearded dwarf moved his body and stood up unsteadily. His drunken appearance made people doubt whether he could stand firm.

"Ask in advance, my charges will be very expensive."

"It's understandable that the master's fee is expensive." Ximu nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down, watching the dwarf master swaying on the chair.

"I want to repair my armor."

"Six thousand gold coins." The dwarf master reported an unacceptable number without thinking, but Ximu nodded without hesitation, and then asked:

"What if you want to strengthen your armor?"

"..."

The dwarf master did not answer immediately. He carefully observed Ximu's armor, thought about it and said, "If you prepare your own meteorite, it will cost 30,000."

"Okay." Ximu agreed readily.

This game has a weapon enhancement system, but it requires a kind of "meteor" material. As the name suggests, meteors are meteors falling from the sky.

The setting is that after death, the symbolic stars will fall to the human world and turn into a usable material.

However, ordinary people's stars will burn up in the process of falling. Only special... people, such as magicians, kings, heroes, popes, etc., who have a certain social status or sufficient strength, can make their own stars burn out. Stars fall to the ground.

Falling meteorites also have different grades. To explain in layman's terms, they are strengthening stones. Different grades of strengthening stones correspond to different strengthening levels.

Although the official setting of the game is that the meteors of the strong have higher magic power and special properties, that is just a way of explaining the world view.

"Okay, take off your armor." The dwarf master nodded drunkenly and waved his hand to Xi Mu, "After three months, I will hand over the strengthened armor to you."

Ximu shook his head and said, "I want to get it in three days."

"Ha... you think forging is a casual matter. Three months is just three months, not one more day." The dwarf master puffed his beard and stared, very dissatisfied.

To know blacksmithing is a very rigorous knowledge.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins." Aslaqi suddenly spoke, her voice undeniably tough, "If you don't do it, someone else will."

"..."

The dwarf master was silent for a moment, looking at Aslaqi's eyes that refused to refuse, and wanted to ridicule the layman, but she gave too much, and there was no way to refuse.

He scratched his head, his voice losing confidence.

"Actually, it's not impossible if you get off work overtime."

"Yes." Aslaqi nodded and smiled at Ximu, "Take off the armor and let him take it away. He will deliver it to your door in three days."

"Okay." Ximu nodded and took off his armor.

In fact, the higher the level of forging, the more gold coins need to be spent. However, as long as the player is shameless and can use words to trick the blacksmith into strengthening it in advance, or after paying a deposit, the blacksmith can forge it in advance.

Once you get the enhanced equipment, kill the blacksmith directly. This will not only save gold coins, but also take away the blacksmith's meteor.

The more advanced the blacksmith, the more precious the meteorites collected.

The dwarf master in front of him was killed by him last week, and he exploded a rare meteorite.

"The meteor will be sent to you in the evening." After taking off his armor, Xi Mu explained to the dwarf master, "I don't have the meteor on hand yet."

"Okay." The dwarf master didn't care. Anyway, he just collected money to do things and didn't really care when to start making weapons.

Done.

Aslaqi and Geed returned to the hotel, while Ximu found an excuse to wander around the Magic Kingdom alone.

No...if someone focuses on Ximu's movement track, they will find that he has a clear course of action.

About thirty minutes later.

Outside the Magic King's City.

Wearing a black cloak and covering his face, Ximu broke into a noble house, killed the nobles in the house, and took out several meteorites from the warehouse.

Later, he went to the underground prison of the noble mansion, kicked open the iron door, and saw a handsome young man hanging in the air wearing a blood-stained white shirt.

Ximu looked at the young man in front of him and saw that there were injuries everywhere on his body, all caused by whips and candles.

He walked over and split the chain with a knife.

The young man fell to the ground, but he didn't care at all. On the contrary, he was very happy.

"Are you here to save me?"

"That's right." Ximu said casually. This young man's name is Luota. He is a distant relative of the royal family of Magic City. He has a very delicate appearance.

The normal process is for him to join the royal camp of the Magic Kingdom, and then, at the request of the fourth prince, step by step find Lotta who was caught by the pervert, thereby improving the favor of the royal camp.

However, since he has become Hecate's apprentice, it is impossible for him to join the royal family of the Magic Kingdom, so there is no need to increase the favorability of the royal family.

However, considering that there was good material that could be revealed here, he was still a little interested in paying a visit and saving this unlucky boy.

Although this unlucky boy has long been stuffed into a puff.
