After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 77 Invitation

The night is as cold as water.

The moonlight passed through the gaps in the dark clouds and sprinkled on the gurgling river, and was then stirred into pieces by the waves.

Frowning slightly, Ximu slowly opened his eyes. He leaned against a boulder. Opposite him was a girl wearing a cloak and with shoulder-length curly hair.

There was a fire between the two, and the girl in a cloak was seen kneeling on the ground, the firelight reflecting on her delicate face.

They looked at each other speechlessly.

Ximu subconsciously touched his side, as if trying to find his own weapon. This was a sign of insecurity.

"Please don't move, otherwise it will aggravate your injuries." The girl in the cloak lowered her eyes and threw the wood beside her into the fire.

She could tell that the knight was very nervous, probably because of the previous battle, which made him wary of anyone.

Ximu was silent for a moment after hearing this, staring at the girl's delicate cheeks. Although she was dressed simply, it also highlighted her outstanding appearance in disguise.

He lowered his head and looked at his lower abdomen, and found that his abdomen had been wrapped with a gray bandage. Unsurprisingly, it must have been a strip of cloth that the girl had torn off from her cloak.

When he touched it, there was a trace of blood on his fingertips.

"Thank you." Ximu seemed to sense that the girl in the cloak opposite her had no ill intentions, so she thanked him softly.

The girl in the cloak shook her head when she heard this and said: "You were penetrated by a dagger in the abdomen, your magic power was excessively consumed, and you were infected with the Fire of Surtur."

She looked at Ximu.

"Your situation is very bad now."

"..."

Xi Mu did not answer immediately. He looked at the burning fire and frowned, "Are you also a Twilight believer?"

"..."

The girl in the cloak shook her head, and her pleasant voice was unusually calm, "When you were in a coma, your body temperature was abnormally high."

She explained.

"Your body's instinct is to save itself, to burn life through the fire of Surtur, thus ensuring your physical vitality."

"Is that so?" Ximu was stunned, as if he didn't believe it, but he knew that what the girl said was the truth. Although Surtur's fire will burn the host's vitality, before it burns out the vitality, it can help the player. Adding a bunch of enhanced states not only improves strength, but also enhances the player's recovery ability.

Of course, this is not a good thing for ordinary people. After all, this is completely the enhancement obtained by overdrafting life. It is like injecting powerful adrenaline into a person. Naturally, he will feel that his body is in excellent condition, but he will have to wait until the effect of the drug wears off. Face side effects.

Once the blessing effect of Surtur's Fire passes, it means burning out the host's life, passing from life to inevitable death.

"The more the body is hurt, the stronger the Fire of Surtur will burn. This is common sense that every Dusk believer knows."

The girl in the cloak sighed, as if she didn't want to explain too much in this regard, and calmly changed the subject.

"I temporarily seal the Surtur Fire in your body. If you don't use magic power for the rest of your life, the Surtur Fire will not burn your vitality."

"Who are you!" Ximu showed a more vigilant expression. There are few people in this world who can easily tell the secret of sealing the fire of Surtur. Even the witch may not be able to do it.

After all, the Fire of Surtur is already a part of the human body, just like blood is a component of the human body. To seal the Fire of Surtur is basically equivalent to draining a person's blood.

No one could survive at that time.

"She's just a nun who lost the care of the omniscient god." The girl in the cloak explained calmly, and then told the other party what she was most concerned about.

"The way to seal the Fire of Surtur is only because of my special ability, so I can seal the Fire of Surtur."

lie.

Ximu thought so in his heart, but he didn't point it out and just remained silent. The girl opposite didn't take the initiative to stir up the topic. She just knelt in front of the fire with her legs wrapped in black stockings and occasionally added A piece of wood ensures that the flame does not go out.

for a long time.

The sound of horse hooves was heard, and the little mare came back with herbs in her mouth. She looked at Akhtar who woke up, showing a hint of relaxation.

Although she didn't think Akhtar would die here, she still felt uneasy.

Now that I see Akhtar waking up, I am completely relieved.

"Ah... partner, it's so good to see you." Ximu looked at the little mare and smiled happily.

In response, the little mare just nodded, then came to sit next to the girl, and placed the herbs in her mouth in front of the girl.

Upon seeing this, the girl checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the medicinal herbs. She got up and went to the river to fill a half pot of water with an iron pot. Then she returned to the fire, set up the iron pot, and began to boil the potion.

The very simple technique almost makes people think that she is just an ordinary nun. Otherwise, why not use prayer instead of the most basic herbal medicine.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, right?" Ximu looked at the girl with her head lowered, carefully brewing the medicine.

He smiled and said:

"Akhtar is considered a knight, um ~ maybe also a magician. After all, my teacher is Hecate."

"Eden, I am a nun who believes in the omniscient God." The girl also introduced herself and revealed her current identity.

She has many identities and many names. As the years change and history falls into a cycle, she keeps changing her names and identities.

And now her identity is that of a nun who believes in the omniscient God. She is a child adopted from a remote countryside by the omniscient church.

Because of her outstanding talent, she became a contemporary omniscient saint.

"Can believers also be "qualified"?" Ximu seemed to be unable to help complaining, but Eden did not refute, just stirring the potion in the iron pot with a spoon.

After a while, she put the boiled potion in a bowl, handed it to the injured Ximu, and said in a calm voice:

"It tastes a bit bitter, but it can help you recover as quickly as possible."

"Thank you." Ximu took the potion and drank it in one gulp. After putting down the bowl, he showed a wrinkled face.

"It's really hard."

"This is your only treatment method at the moment." Eden's voice was calm and he explained under Ximu's doubtful eyes.

"The price of sealing the Fire of Surtur in your body is that you will not be able to use magic power for the rest of your life, nor will you be able to receive any treatment containing magic power."

"Otherwise the fire of Surtur within you will be reignited."

In fact, the way to seal the Fire of Surtur is very simple, that is, there is no magic power in the human body. In the absence of magic power, even the Fire of Surtur cannot quickly burn the host's vitality.

However, as long as there is a slight contact with magic power, it will immediately rekindle and continue to burn the host's vitality.

"I'm sorry, I still have things I have to do." Ximu raised his hand and touched his injured lower abdomen. The palm of his hand emitted a fluorescent green light. He used the remaining magic power to treat the body while smiling bitterly at Eden. .

"I'm sorry that I failed to live up to your good intentions."

"..."

Eden shook his head gently, not caring about Ximu's choice. If a person cannot use magic power, it is like a person who can never have money and can only work with his own hands and feet to survive by his own efforts. This is really hard to accept for people who were once rich.

"By the way, do you want any reward?" Ximu asked suddenly, and Eden shook his head, showing no interest in the so-called reward.

She is not interested in wealth. As long as she has something to eat, she can live peacefully.

So he didn't care about the reward proposed by Ximu.

"...How can I repay you like this?" Ximu leaned against the rock behind him, the firelight shining on his distressed face.

In response, Eden took the initiative to change the topic.

"Sir Akhtar, why are you so seriously injured?"

"To help my friend buy back his eyes." Ximu lied without changing his face, "But the guy who sold the eyes took the money and didn't do anything, and even stabbed me in a sneak attack."

"You can probably guess what happened next. In order to survive, I fled all the way to a nearby place and then fell into the canyon."

He looked at the little mare and smiled:

"If my partner hadn't found you, I would probably be dead."

Little mare: "..."

If she hadn't personally heard Akhtar say how he wanted to plot against Miss Eden, she might have really thought that what Ximu said was the truth.

Thinking of this, the little mare lowered her head and concealed her expression. After all, this was really a bit... shameful.

Especially if Eden treats her well.

Ximu didn't seem to notice the little mare's embarrassment, and continued to explain to Eden the reason for his injury, from how he met the blindfolded nun, and then learned about the location of the Hundred-Eyed Tower, and how he was killed by the tower owner of the Hundred-Eyed Tower. Seriously injured in a sneak attack.

Using his words to construct the incident, in order to help the blindfolded nun regain her eyes, he went to the Hundred Eyes Tower alone to buy the blindfolded nun’s eyes. However, after paying the money, the despicable Baiyan A sneak attack by the tower's owner severely wounded him.

In order to counterattack, he liberated the artifact Sword of Light and killed the tower owner, but was hunted down by the only remaining Twilight believers until he was forced to jump off a cliff by the Twilight believers.

"..."

Eden nodded slightly and understood the whole story.

She did find that a nearby tower collapsed, and combined with the information about Akhtar's artifact, it did have some credibility.

The little mare next to her rubbed her hooves against the ground as she listened to the description of the incident, then turned and walked into the forest.

Now she begins to suspect that her encounter with Akhtar was orchestrated by Akhtar just to ride on her.

"By the way, Miss Eden...can I ask you something?" Ximu seemed to remember something, "When I come back from the Kingdom of Black Rose, can you please seal the Fire of Surtur in me again? "

"..."

Eden nodded slightly, it was not difficult for her to seal the Fire of Surtur, and Ximu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then revealed why he wanted to go to the Country of Black Rose.

"It is said that the Order of Death is preparing to conduct a sacrifice in the Kingdom of Black Rose." Ximu leaned on the stone and told the information that really attracted Eden.

"However, I suspect that the Death Cult's action was planned by the Death Witch behind the scenes in order to provoke the Death Goddess."

"Isn't the Witch of Death sealed?" Eden frowned slightly, seeming to know the Witch of Death very well.

Ten thousand years ago, the Witch of Death was united by the gods and sealed into the gap between life and death. In that gap where time began to blur, as long as someone did not destroy the seal from the outside, the Witch of Death could not come out.

Moreover, the gods have long confirmed that the seal of the Death Witch is very stable.

"The only existence in this world that can kill gods is the Witch of Death, right?" Ximu smiled, "And as long as I go to the Kingdom of Black Rose and contact the believers of Death, I can confirm whether my guess is correct."

Eden thought for a moment and felt that what Ximu said was very reasonable. This time the Death Cult acted collectively, there might be someone behind it.

And the person who has the ability to make the Death Order be so obedient is probably the only person whom the Death Order believes in, the legendary Witch of Death.

An existence that can give gods the concept of death.

"Your Excellency Akhtar, can I accompany you?" She asked, but Akhtar did not agree immediately, but showed a reluctant look.

she added.

"Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

"Okay, after all, I owe Miss Eden a favor." Ximu sighed helplessly, "But Miss Eden, please don't stay too far away from me."

"..."

Eden nodded slightly and did not refuse.

Since Akhtar was able to come up with a guess and insisted on going to the Country of Black Rose, he must not be alone. There might be a team behind him.

Then if she follows Ximu, she might be able to get important information.

"Then we will set off tomorrow morning?" Ximu asked tentatively, "The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for the country of Black Rose."

Eden nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

"Then please let me rest."

Ximu smiled and rested against the stone.

Originally, according to the normal side plot of the Omniscient Saint, he traveled around with the Omniscient Saint, accompanied the Omniscient Saint to witness the world, listened to the Omniscient Saint's thoughts, and helped the suffering people with the Omniscient Saint.

However, by following this normal branch plot, there is no way to take into account the plot of the Kingdom of Black Rose, so he must find a way to get the Omniscient Saint to be interested in the Kingdom of Black Rose.

And the Witch of Death may appear, which is a bait.

Of course, after he deceives the Omniscient Saint into the City of Black Rose, a very subtle problem will arise, that is, the Witch of Death is really in the City of Black Rose, and is really preparing to make a big plan. If he Incomplete micro-control caused the Death Witch's plan to fail.

That will cause the plot to progress slowly.

The next day.

early morning.

"Let's go, Miss Eden." Ximu rode on the little mare and stretched out his hand to Eden, who was wearing a cloak beside him. His smile seemed to be very proud.

"My partner is the fastest horse in the world."

When the little mare heard this, she seemed to raise her chin quite proudly, obviously very confident in her speed.

There is no faster horse than her in this world.

Eden smiled when he saw this scene, then took Ximu's extended hand, and with Ximu's strength, he directly pulled her onto the horse's back.

The horse's hooves stepped on it, and the little mare ran towards the rising sun in the distance. The golden sand-like light fell from the end of the canyon, and it just reflected the horse and two people.
