Chapter 52 The Melancholy Knight

"Isn't it human nature to desire power?" Ximu answered matter-of-factly. He pursued power not to uphold justice, nor because there was someone he wanted to protect, nor to realize any ideal.

It's because you will feel happy and satisfied when you become stronger, just like people feel pleasure after eating dessert.

"That's really a legitimate reason." Hecate nodded slightly and accepted her apprentice's statement. She could understand men's desire for power, which is an impulse rooted deep in the soul, but she did not want her apprentice to become a pure pursuit of power. people.

"Apprentice, power requires wisdom to control." She smiled at Ximu, "If you are really anxious to build the sword of death, my master can help you."

With her current abilities, she would soon be able to locate the meteor that strengthened the Great Sword of Death, and find a suitable forger to forge the Great Sword of Death.

Ximu doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to be patient and learn magic knowledge from her. This is also a reward she gives to her apprentice.

After all, Xuemu paid a lot for her to become a witch, so as a teacher, she couldn't be stingy, let alone helping to build the Great Sword of Death.

Even if Ximu becomes the king of the Magic Kingdom, there will be no problem.

Ximu: "..."

If you follow Hecate's teacher, you can indeed get the Great Sword of Death. This is a reward for helping Hecate become a witch, but the price is that you have to learn magic knowledge from Hecate, and you will also lack the ability to kill. Opportunity.

This will undoubtedly slow down the upgrade process.

and so.

"Teacher, how about this?" He looked at Hecate's confused eyes and said slowly:
"Just give me the teaching materials that I need to study, and I will study on my own as I go. This will not delay me from improving my strength and supplementing my knowledge."

Hecate looked suspicious and asked: "Apprentice, you won't cheat to become your master, will you?"

"...Teacher, how could I be willing to lie to you." Ximu said nonsense seriously, with a particularly serious expression on his face, "If you are worried, you can come and confirm my academic progress after a while."

In fact, he did not intend to study, but this did not prevent him from pretending that he was studying. Anyway, he already knew the content.

Just be perfunctory when the time comes.

"..."

"..."

Hecate looked at her apprentice's serious eyes and knew that even if she tried to stop him, it would be of no use. She shook her head slightly.

"I am going to prepare learning materials for you." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into starlight and disappeared.

Seeing this, Ximu closed his eyes again and began to rest.

After drinking the potion that continuously restores magic power, he can immediately set off to find his mount, and then find the Magic Queen's meteor.

There are very few meteorites in this world that can add ten, and the Magic Queen's meteorite is one of the few meteorites that can add ten.

Of course, it's not like there aren't other meteors that add ten, but who made the Magic Queen die the closest, so that he can get it as quickly as possible.

And right now.

Jed pushed the door open and walked in. She carried a box full of potions and came to sit next to Ximu. "The money to buy the potions was all paid for by Princess Aslaqi."

She lifted Ximu up and took out a bottle of magic potion.

"Boss, come...ah~"

"..." Ximu opened his mouth and drank the potion handed to his mouth in one gulp. After drinking several bottles in a row, he finally regained his mobility.

He got out of bed and moved around.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Before that, would you like to read the letter from Sister Leticia?" Geed took out a letter and shook it at Ximu.

Ximu took the envelope, glanced at the smiling Geede, and sighed: "Gede, you have done a lot of unnecessary things."

"I want to die quietly and not let Sister Leticia worry." Geed frowned and said as if he was dissatisfied.

"Boss, are you a child?"

"If I die one day, help me return the Sword of Light to Leticia." Ximu took the letter and left.

Jade was silent for a moment when she saw this, and then let out a tired sigh. Everyone around her seemed to have no good end. Her parents were like this, her companions were like this, and today's boss was like this. No one's life was stable. .

"I hope the boss won't die too early." She lay back and covered her eyes with her hands. She was not as lively as she had seen before.

after a while.

Ximu came out of the shower and wiped his head with a towel. He looked towards the living room and saw Aslaqi and Geed sitting next to each other on the sofa, seeming to be discussing with him, but they were watching After he came out, the discussion immediately stopped.

Shaking his head, he came to sit across from the two of them.

"What are you discussing, so excited?"

"We didn't discuss anything important." Geed shook his head, and then said with a smile:
"But boss, can you guess what we are discussing?"

"No guessing." Xi Mu replied immediately. They were just discussing the fact that they were not going to die soon. If they really guessed, they would probably fall into a meaningless discussion.

So it is not necessary to be true.

"Boss, just take a guess~" Jiedra said with a long tail voice, pleading pitifully, but Ximu was unmoved and changed the subject.

"By the way, aren't you curious about when you can get married?" He chuckled, "When the teacher comes over later, you can try to ask."

Jed frowned and said, "Now I don't seem to want to know when I will get married, otherwise it will be very... heartbreaking."

"If necessary, I can introduce it to you." Aslaqi said, and then said as if joking:
"It's better to say that you have someone you like."

"Why did the topic suddenly shift to me?" Jed turned his head, not wanting the topic to continue on him.

When Aslaqi saw this, she chuckled, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Ximu, and said:
"Sir Akhtar, what are your plans next?"

"I will leave the Magic King's City in the afternoon." Ximu replied immediately. He planned to leave today. Now there is really not much need to stay in the Magic King's City.

Although there are many powerful magics in Magic King City, it doesn't mean much to him.

"Maybe you can wait." Aslaqi whispered, "If your teacher can correctly interpret the dragonborn's magic, he may be able to extend your life."

If there is any species in the world with the strongest vitality, then her answer would be "dragon".

The magic of Dragonborn allows people to gain the power of dragons.

"Are you going to hand over the Dragonborn to the teacher for interpretation?" Ximu showed a surprised expression, seemingly confused by the decision.

In response, Aslaqi nodded: "Perhaps the only person in this world who has the ability to correctly interpret the Dragonborn is your teacher."

"Yes." Ximu nodded slightly. There are many people with strong magical attainments in this world, but they do not have the ability to interpret fate like Teacher Hecate. Therefore, Teacher Hecate has the natural ability to solve puzzles. The advantages.

Therefore, it is normal for Asraqi to want to find Teacher Hecate to interpret it, although even if it is interpreted, there is no way to help Siegfried solve the problem of transforming into a dragon.

After all, the essence of Dragonborn's magic is to... create an agent.

"If the interpretation is successful, the boss won't have to worry about lifespan?" Jade suddenly became excited, feeling happy that Ximu would not die young.

"Maybe." Ximu nodded slightly, "But I will not slow down the pace of improving my strength until I confirm that Siegfried can recover." He stood up with his knees supported.

"I'll leave on time this afternoon."

……

...

in the afternoon.

A carriage faced the setting sun, stirred up smoke and dust on the ground, and left the Magic King's City without any stop.

"If he stays, he can enjoy all the glory and wealth in the Magic King's City." Aslaqi stood on the city wall, looking at the carriage disappearing at the end.

She turned to look at Hecate beside her and said:
"Since you can't bear to leave, why not try to keep him?"

"..."

Hecate looked at the human girl beside her and asked, "Do you think I will be retained?"

will not.

Aslaki immediately came up with the answer. For a being like Hecate, she is very stubborn...or in other words, she has her own opinions, and it is difficult for others to interfere.

"My beloved disciple, he is a person very similar to me." Hecate gave the answer, "He does not need others to interfere with him on the grounds of "I am doing it for your own good."

"Is this the character of a genius?" Aslaki smiled and understood why Hecate did not stop Ximu from leaving.

From her point of view, Ximu has many benefits from staying in the Magic City. Not only is she protected by a strong teacher, but she can also receive the most top-notch teachings and enjoy the power only under Hecate.

No reason to leave anyway.

But Akhtar left without any hesitation, not even thinking about the power and wealth that ordinary people crave.

"Send the Dragonborn's manuscript." Hecate turned around gracefully and disappeared, leaving behind a sentence.

"Now I'm confident I'm interpreting the Dragonborn correctly."

Aslaqi was silent for a moment, then looked at Ximu as he left and put it down. He raised his hand and lightly touched the red hair beside his ears. She didn't know what she was thinking about.

The sun sets.

The moon rises.

In front of a hotel in a remote town.

"Ged, you wait here for me all night." Ximu said to Geed at the door, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Geed: "..."

Forget it, he is the boss, and he has never seen Ximu do anything difficult to control so far, so it is better to wait patiently.

at the same time.

on the other side.

oak forest.

It is said that there lived a beautiful goddess in the oak forest, accompanied by a horse with one horn and white fur.

This beautiful goddess often comes to the oak forest, rides her beloved horse, hunts with a bow and arrow, and occasionally gives the hunted animals to the hunters.

The above are all lies and made-up stories.

But one thing is true. There is really a horse in the oak forest. It not only comes and goes like the wind, but also like a bolt of lightning.

And Ximu just wanted to catch...no, he wanted to deceive this horse.

Go deep into the forest.

The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, reflecting on Xi Mu's silver armor. He stepped on the thick fallen leaves and came to a lake.

The lake reflects the starry sky and the bright moon, and fireflies dance.

"I'm so tired, let's take a rest here." Ximu took off his helmet and placed it on the stone by the lake.

Looking at such a beautiful night, he seemed to get interested, so he picked a leaf and played it gently.

The melodious notes echoed, dancing with the moonlight and accompanied by the evening breeze, and the fireflies seemed to be jumping notes.

If there was a beautiful girl here, she might not be able to help but stand up and ask the handsome knight if he had any troubles.

But it was late at night and it was a jungle, so it was naturally impossible for any wild beautiful girl to appear.

Ta~ The sound of footsteps came, the treetops swayed lightly, and an eight-legged horse emerged from the tree. It slowly came to Ximu's side and squatted down, listening carefully.

Ximu didn't seem to notice it, and continued to play. The melodious notes drifted away with the evening wind, and the horse slowly became gentler from its original arrogance.

After a long time, the playing stopped.

"Ah~ I didn't expect there was an audience." The handsome knight put down the leaves and looked at the tall horse beside him. He showed a little surprise at first, and then smiled.

"She is still a beautiful lady." He looked at the surprise in the horse's eyes and smiled gently, "This is not something difficult to see."

The horse's tail flicked as it looked at this strange human being. When a normal person sees her posture, he should show hostility rather than fear.

After all, a normal horse cannot have eight legs, nor can it have a body as tall as hers.

And there is only one reason for being so abnormal. She is a dangerous monster, a terrifying monster that can easily kill a human being with just one hoof.

"Since you have never hurt me, then you must not be a dangerous monster, right?" Ximu chuckled, with gentle eyes.

"Do you want to hear it again?"

The horse looked at this strange human being, then nodded gently, and the handsome knight smiled upon seeing this, and then continued to play with the blades.

At this moment, he is... seducing and tricking this little mare so that he can ride her later. The best way to start is to pretend to be a handsome and melancholy knight and create a wonderful encounter.

I don’t know what the game official thinks. It seems that any creature’s aesthetics towards humans is extremely similar. Even if it is a horse, it can still tell whether a human is handsome and good-looking.

But considering the world view of Mystic Gate, I don’t bother to care.

Anyway, as long as he knows that the little mare is a face-conscious and easy to deceive, of course, he can also choose to conquer the little mare by force.

However, that is too troublesome and takes too long, so it is fastest to deceive the little mare with face. When his force value soars in the later stage, he can use his force value to completely conquer the little mare.

Now he was going to play some elegant, melancholic trick on people...no, trick on horses.

The horse looked at the handsome knight in silver sitting on the bank of the river, showing melancholy eyes, shaking its tail slightly, and lightly rubbing the ground with its hooves.

Does this human being have any sad past?
