Chapter 67 Sad separation

"Akhtar, the recent hero among the bards." The blond woman pointed out Ximu's identity directly.

She looked at the wood and nodded.

"The reputation, status, and ability are all qualified. I have no objection to you being together."

There was a brief silence.

Naris's cheeks turned red and she waved her hands quickly, feeling intensely ashamed of her mother's outspokenness.

"Mother, please don't say such things in front of outsiders!"

"..." The blonde woman glanced at her daughter coldly and replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Daughter, there is no need to be ashamed of this."

She picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Being attracted to powerful males is not something you should be ashamed of. Isn't it because you are willing to take the initiative to contact Akhtar because he fits your views on mate selection?"

Naris was about to cry. She covered her blushing cheeks with her hands and let out a cry of unknown meaning. She was indeed interested in Akhtar, but she had never thought about marrying him.

After all, races are all different.

And according to normal procedures, she should get to know Akhtar for a period of time to confirm each other's feelings.

"Daughter, you are not mature enough." The blond woman shook her head and did not continue, otherwise her daughter would have fainted from shame.

From her point of view, Akhtar is indeed a very good member of the opposite sex. He has the magic kingdom on his back and has talents that are not inferior to anyone else.

So she has no objection at all to her daughter marrying Akhtar.

"I don't want such a strange maturity." Naris retorted in a low voice. She felt... ashamed of her mother's strange views, especially in front of Akhtar, and she was about to commit suicide in shame.

Her mother, Sola, was an extremely strong woman who believed that the strong could dominate the weak, and that marrying a powerful male would produce offspring with excellent bloodlines.

In fact, she didn't even know who her biological father was, maybe even her mother Sora didn't know.

After all, there are many powerful male beings in this world.

"Only a strong bloodline can guarantee the inheritance of the family." Sola calmly explained to his daughter.

However, Naris covered her blushing face with her hands, turning a deaf ear to her mother's remarks, and was very resistant to the distorted views conveyed to her.

What she wants is normal...marriage, a love affair that is witnessed by God and is monogamous until death, with both parties never betraying each other.

Instead of thinking that the other person has a good bloodline and can give birth to excellent offspring, they just want to have sex without getting married.

This is unacceptable to her.

"Sit down, the food and drinks are ready." Sola didn't force her. She also knew that her daughter was too naive to think that there would be undying love in this world, and she also longed for so-called heroes.

The so-called heroes are just strong men who pursue fame and fortune.

"..." Nalis breathed a sigh of relief and sat down around the dining table with Ximu. She lowered her head and said nothing, only occasionally picking up a dish for Ximu.

He pretended not to have heard the ceremonial conversation between Ximu and his mother.

until.

"If you are not interested in Nalis, my unborn daughter... can also get engaged to you." Sola said something that shocked the world.

"You can train her to be whatever you like."

Crack, the sound of falling knives and forks.

Naris was silent for a moment, opened her mouth, then stood up silently and said, "Sorry, I... am in a bit of a hurry."

She apologized to Ximu.

"When mother leaves, I will come back to see Lord Akhtar." After saying this, he hurriedly left the room.

Now she no longer dared to look at Akhtar, fearing that the hero would look at her strangely.

"Ms. Sola, you can be a little more tactful." Ximu sighed, seeming to feel a little helpless at Sola's words.

In the official setting of the game, Sola is a female dwarf who strongly agrees with the concept of the jungle. She does not mind being conquered by a powerful male. She is also willing to give birth to offspring for a powerful male, believing that the children of a powerful male will be more talented. , making his family stronger.

In theory, if the player successfully hunts the undead serpent, Sora can switch to the player's arms and willingly give birth to his offspring.

However, when the player hunts down the Immortal Orochi, Sora will discover that his feelings for the Immortal Orochi are not purely about facing a powerful male.

Instead, he already has feelings and thus falls into despair.

If the player had not chosen to kill Sora at that time, Sora would have fallen into madness, eating the remains of the undead serpent, and trying to use his own abilities to breed the undead serpent again.

"This is nothing to be ashamed of." Waving his hand, Sola picked up the strong wine on the table and took a sip, looking at Ximu's handsome face.

"The strong have everything. Since one's own abilities are not enough, clinging to the strong is also a manifestation of wisdom."

She put down her glass.

"As long as the Immortal Serpent can never be attacked by the strong, then we are willing to provide sacrifices to the Immortal Serpent. This is the privilege possessed by the strong."

"If the crusade is successful, then you don't mind changing the object of worship." Ximu nodded as if he understood.

Sora responded with a smile.

"Yes, if someone can successfully defeat the immortal snake, it means that his bloodline is even better. I will marry my proudest daughter to him and let him enjoy the treatment of a strong man."

"No wonder so many people came to Gear City to defeat the Undead Serpent." Ximu nodded as if he understood.

"There will never be a shortage of people who pursue fame and fortune in this world." Sola smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Xiumu, and then said jokingly:

"With the talents you have shown, even if you don't fight against the immortal snake, I am still willing to betroth my daughter to you."

"Forget it, our races are all different." Waving his hand, Ximu seemed to be a little concerned about race.

However, this was just an unintentional statement. It was purely because he had no interest in Sora's daughters. If they were replaced by...white-haired loli from the Dragon Empire, then he wouldn't mind the racial issue.

Sora didn't force it, but changed the subject, "I heard that you have an eight-legged horse, why don't you see her by your side?"

"Ms. Sola, do you know my partner?" Ximu seemed a little surprised, as if he had no idea about the little mare's past.

"The name of the eight-legged horse is Sleipnir, and it is the creation of the monster witch." Sora smiled and explained to Ximu:

"That is a very dangerous monster. No one has ever come into contact with Sleipnir. You are the first human to ride on her."

She lowered her head and played with the wine glass.

"How does it feel to ride her?"

"Soon." Ximu expressed his thoughts, and Sola smiled meaningfully upon hearing the words, smiling at the knight's sincere answer.

This knight would not think that Sleipnir could only be ridden as a horse. It was the top monster with the ability to transform into a human form.

But it seems that the knight does not understand this information.

The more powerful the monster, the higher the level of intelligence it possesses, and naturally also has the ability to love.

Since she can be pregnant with monster offspring, monsters can also be pregnant with human offspring.

"Can you let me meet Sleipnir?" Sola asked. She didn't have much interest in Akhtar.

Although Akhtar is destined to be a strong man in the future, he is not a strong man after all and is not worthy of her paying too much attention.

But Sleipnir was different. He was the same kind that the Immortal Serpent was interested in, and he was theoretically on the same level as the Immortal Serpent.

"Okay." Ximu naturally would not refuse and summoned the little mare, standing behind Ximu with its tall body.

She glanced at Sola's belly and took a step back as if she was disgusted. Is there something wrong with this dwarf woman's brain? She is actually pregnant with the child of an immortal snake.

"Miss Sleipnir, can we talk to you alone?" Sora stood up and smiled at the little mare.

The little mare did not agree immediately, scraped her hooves against the ground, and glanced at Akhtar again, after getting the other person's permission.

She just walked outside the house.

"The day of the crusade against the Immortal Orochi will be in three days." Sola calmly passed by Ximu and told some basic information.

"There are no restrictions on means. You can use any means to achieve victory. As long as you can successfully hunt the undead snake, you will be the... hero of Gear City."

After saying this, Sola left the room with her pregnant belly.

There are many people in this world who want to get ahead. The strong men who have gathered in Gear City are all waiting for the day of the crusade to begin.

Of course, you can also attack in advance. Gear City has no restrictions on this, as long as you are confident that you can successfully attack alone.

……

...

after a while.

The little mare returned to the room, looked at Akhtar who was sitting at the table eating, tapped the ground with her hoof, and seemed to withdraw herself into the ring.

however.

"Sleipnir, is this really your name?" Ximu pretended to be curious and asked the little mare, "I heard that powerful monsters can turn into human form."

He raised his glass.

"Partner, do you want to sit down and have a drink together?"

"..." The little mare didn't speak, she just tilted her head and then tapped the ground with her hoof.

It would be impossible for her to turn into a human form, it would be too dangerous.

"What's wrong, partner?" Ximu seemed a little puzzled and asked the little mare, "Sit down and have a glass of wine. How about we chat together?"

Of course not.

The little mare thought that she could keep a distance from Akhtar while keeping her body as a horse, but it would be difficult to keep a distance if she turned into a human.

If there is a life span theory in the future and raising a child by myself, it would be too...sad.

In order not to become a single mother, it is impossible to take human form.

"Since I don't want to, I won't force you to partner." Ximu smiled and handed a plate of fruit salad to the little mare.

And right now.

Naris also came over again. She first carefully observed outside the door and found that her mother was not there. Then she patted her chest and walked into the room.

……

...

Two days later.

Adventurers from all over the world gathered together, eager to defeat the undead serpent, hoping to become heroes in people's mouths.

prestige.

that power.

wealth.

They all reside on the head of the undead serpent.

The one who cuts it off is a hero.

Inside the tavern.

Anphes played the harp and sang the heroic epic. He was telling the story of the knight in silver armor and the beautiful princess who first met and had to be separated in the end.

After a while, the sound of playing stopped.

The tavern was quiet for a while, then became noisy. A tearful dwarf girl wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

She sobbed to Anpheus:

"Your Excellency Akhtar, are you really infected with the Fire of Surtur? In order to... not make Princess Leticia sad, that's why you don't stay in the country of iris, but go out to wander alone?"

"It's so cruel. They are clearly in love." A lady covered her mouth, feeling sad about the ending of the story.

This was a version she had never heard before. She knew about Akhtar's existence before, but her evaluation of Akhtar was that he was... a genius, but only a genius.

There are many such geniuses in history. They have been able to guess the ending. It is nothing more than that the genius becomes a great hero through hard work, then marries a beautiful princess, and lives happily ever after.

But Akhtar was a little different. He was about to die. In order not to make the princess she loved sad, he chose to stay away from the princess he loved.

"How sad it would be if Princess Leticia knew the truth." A young nobleman shook his head with pity.

This sad news that the one she loves is about to die is probably enough to completely collapse Princess Leticia.

I don’t know if Princess Leticia knows the truth now.

"Hey...how could a hero's story end so easily?" Anphis chuckled and played the harp again.

"Hero of justice, now he picked up the spear of immortality and came to the city threatened by the immortal snake."

"He is not for wealth, not for fame, not for power, just to save the people who were sacrificed."

The tavern was quiet for a moment.

Then it became even more noisy, and someone couldn't wait to ask, "Has Akhtar arrived in Gear City?"

"Master Akhtar is also going to defeat the immortal snake!" A noble girl exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands.

Now she really wanted to see Akhtar, hold the knight who was far away from her beloved in her arms and comfort her, so that Akhtar would no longer be so sad.

"Want to know?" Anphis smiled mysteriously, looked at the curious eyes of everyone in the tavern, and gently played with the strings.

"This story will wait until after we defeat the undead serpent, so let's leave a little bit of suspense."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of wind and disappeared on the spot, and the story he told also drifted into the distance with the wind.

People knew and understood that Akhtar's life was short.

……

...

at this time.

Gear City.

royal palace.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sir Akhtar, I didn't expect that you were infected with the Fire of Surtur." Naris looked at Akhtar who was eating across the table, and sadly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "This... is really It’s so cruel!”

Ximu: "..."
