After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world
Chapter 44: To gain experience, become the mastermind
"I can create an accident, but it's hard to say whether it will succeed." Hecate raised her hand, with stars floating on her fingers.
The civil strife in the Magic Kingdom today was caused by her, provoking the trajectory of fate and triggering the conflicts that were originally suppressed.
This is all to create an accident that will make the Magic Queen collapse.
"The Magic Queen cares most about her five children, and she is proud of her children."
Ximu suddenly realized: "Master, do you want to capture the Magic Queen's children and threaten them?"
"That won't make the Magic Queen collapse." Hecate shook her head, her eyes like black pearls, cold and chilling.
"Only if her five children kill each other will she collapse."
"..."
Ximu fell silent.
In fact, people have long had a corresponding understanding of Hecate. A mysterious and dangerous woman who can do anything to pursue the ultimate in magic.
No matter who gets along with Hecate, they will start to worry whether Hecate will regard themselves as pawns.
If he is not a multi-round player, he cannot be sure whether such a cold and dangerous Hecate will treat the player sincerely.
After all, Hecate is known to control the fate of everything. When dealing with such a dangerous woman, who can guarantee that he will not become a pawn of such a dangerous woman, even if she behaves very sincerely, seems to have no secrets from you, and gives you all the care you can imagine.
But what if she just wants to use you as a pawn, and then abandons you mercilessly or gets rid of you afterwards?
In any case, there will be such doubts, and they will continue to deepen with the passage of time. After witnessing Hecate's means of playing with a country and taking human life lightly, who can fully believe that Hecate will treat themselves sincerely?
So many players will choose to abandon the dark and turn to the light because of their conscience when they see the magic queen alone, hugging her knees pitifully and looking at the players with sad eyes. Choose to point the blade at Hecate.
However, after the player kills Hecate, he will hear Hecate's gentle forgiveness before her death, and Hecate will also laugh at herself that she will not be trusted by others.
Of course, in this case, as long as you play a few more rounds, you will not be shaken by the plot arranged by the game officials. You can kill Hecate, the teacher, coldly first, and then kill the magic queen to obtain experience points and rare equipment for both sides.
"Disciple, do you think your teacher is too cruel?" Hecate looked at the silent Ximu and asked gently.
Ximu sighed and asked faintly:
"Teacher, will you abandon me when you become a witch?"
"Disciple, I will give you all my tenderness." Hecate's voice was as gentle as ever, looking at the somewhat shaken disciple and said:
"Whether to trust your teacher depends on you."
"..."
Ximu looked up at the stars and said nothing.
And Hecate beside him did not urge her. She could see the dilemma of her disciple. She wanted to try to believe in herself, but she doubted because of her reputation.
She had expected Ximu's reaction a long time ago. She really treated Ximu sincerely. This was both because of fate and because she needed to believe in someone.
For a long time, it could also be a moment.
"That's not important." Ximu suddenly spoke, smiling at Hecate, "Teacher, I seem to be dying."
He stretched lazily and looked at the Magic King City.
"Even if I was deceived by you, I would just die earlier."
"..." Hecate was stunned, then laughed, "It's really an unexpected answer."
"So I'll take a gamble, I believe you are sincere to me." Ximu made his decision, unexpectedly calm and free and easy.
"Teacher, let me enjoy your tenderness before I die."
"I won't let you die before you graduate." Hecate laughed, and had full confidence that she could save her apprentice.
And Ximu asked after hearing this: "Teacher, what do I have to do to graduate?"
"Of course I have to be better than you." Hecate said as a matter of course, as if joking, "If I can't cultivate an apprentice who is better than me, then wouldn't I be very derelict in my duty as a teacher?"
At this point, she seemed to be distressed.
"But I am so great and I am making progress every day. I am afraid it will be very difficult for you to surpass me."
"Well~ If you really can't graduate, you will be my apprentice for life, right?"
Ximu showed a little unconvinced expression, but looking at Hecate's slightly playful and gentle smile, he turned his head away as if embarrassed.
And Hecate looked at her shy appearance and couldn't help laughing. She shook her head and took out the book.
"Apprentice, let's start today's teaching."
"Teacher, I have a secret to tell you." Ximu suddenly said, but he didn't study immediately, or he didn't plan to study honestly, but planned to speed up the plot and brush up a wave of experience points.
"Listen, teacher." Hecate nodded lightly, turned to the first page of the textbook she prepared, and then she heard a surprising news.
"Actually, I am a believer of the Witch of Death." Ximu said seriously, looking at Hecate's surprised eyes, and added seriously, "I have the most favors from the Witch of Death in the world."
"Apprentice, you are really surprising." Hecate sighed and looked at the burning black flames in Ximu's palm.
That terrifying death, if not carefully distinguished, is indeed very similar to the power possessed by the followers of the goddess of death, but this burning black flame is more pure.
Ximu withdrew his palm and said seriously:
"If the teacher can really become a witch, maybe I can summon the followers of death to invade the magic kingdom and create an opportunity for the teacher."
"The followers of death, they are a group of very dangerous people." Hecate frowned, feeling worried about her apprentice being involved with this group of people.
Ximu did not explain.
And Hecate looked at the silence of her apprentice and knew that she could not change her apprentice's mind in a short time.
She took the initiative to change the subject.
"With the current state of the magic kingdom, even if the followers of death invade, it is difficult to threaten the magic queen."
Ximu asked: "What if the children of the magic queen suddenly die?"
"The entire magic kingdom will fall into chaos." Hecate replied that the country is managed by the children of the magic queen, and each of them holds different powers.
Finally, the Magic Queen will decide who is the most suitable to inherit the kingdom.
This is naturally a good thing for the Magic Queen, but for the country, this kind of management system that allows children to compete with each other and hold real power.
It is very easy to cause conflicts and power struggles.
"Then kill them and create chaos." Ximu's voice is indifferent, not like an upright knight at all, but like a conspirator behind the scenes.
However, there is no way for many rounds of players to be like this. There are too many foresights, plus their own good skills, it is easy to be a behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Of course, his original intention was just to level up quickly.
"Master needs to see the followers of death first." Hecate did not agree immediately, and was very vigilant about the followers of the Witch of Death.
This group of followers of death are the most dangerous cultists in the world. They have been committed to unsealing the Witch of Death, and they like to create death to please the Witch of Death.
From her point of view, they are a group of psychopaths.
In essence, they are no different from the followers of the fire giant Surtur, but one worships life and death, and the other wants to burn the world to ashes.
They are all a bunch of psychopaths, not much different.
"I'll bring them to see the teacher tomorrow." Ximu responded readily. He has a lot of experience in how to fool those followers of death.
Tomorrow he will find a few sacrifices and ask the witch of death to give authorization, and then he can start to gain experience.
"Although there are many questions, let's start learning first." Hecate shook her head gently. There are obviously more important things, but she pays unexpected attention to teaching.
For her, the acquisition of knowledge is as important as three meals a day. Since it is time to eat, she, as a teacher, should let the apprentice acquire knowledge.
For other things, ask after the apprentice has finished learning.
After all, the plan is not urgent now, and there is a lot of time to arrange, it's just a little slower.
And Ximu did not resist, and started to study obediently. He knew Hecate's... subtle obsession very well. He had obsessive-compulsive disorder in acquiring knowledge and teaching.
After a while.
The study was completed.
Ximu finally had a chance to talk about other things, but Hecate didn't have too many questions. She mainly asked him how he became a believer of the Witch of Death.
He slightly modified the process, saying that his understanding of "death" was different from that of ordinary people, and he felt that the Witch of Death was in control of the real death, so he began to believe in the Witch of Death.
After the first sacrifice in Lionheart City, he received a response from the Witch of Death, and thus gained the power of death.
Hecate listened carefully, combined with recent major events, and immediately guessed a truth.
"The person who assassinated the goddess of plague was the Witch of Death." She nodded slightly, frowned slightly, and said, "But who has the ability to make the Witch of Death break free from the seal?"
Ximu shook his head: "I don't know."
Hecate gave up the exploration. Now the most important thing for her is to become a witch. Only by becoming a witch can she have the opportunity to explore the truth.
"Apprentice, you go to bed first." She smiled at Ximu, and her figure disappeared from the spot, and Ximu returned to the bedroom of the hotel in the blink of an eye.
He looked out the window, then pulled back the quilt and went to sleep.
There are still many things to do tomorrow.
The next day.
Early morning.
The sun shines through the window and falls on the head of the bed.
Ximu yawned and got up. After pushing the door to the living room, he saw two pairs of resentful eyes, from Aslaqi and Jed.
Judging from their faces, they didn't seem to sleep well.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy?" He asked, and then saw Aslaqi and Jed, showing even more resentful and unhappy expressions.
Jed spoke first: "Boss, didn't you say Hecate would come to you to give you a lesson in the evening?"
"We waited until midnight, but didn't see Hecate coming." Aslaqi added that she and Jed waited for a long time last night, but the legendary genius magician didn't show up.
In response, Ximu showed an expression of enlightenment.
"Last night, the teacher showed up in my room and took me to the hotel balcony to give a lesson in the blink of an eye."
"Ah~ is that so?" Jed showed a disappointed expression, regretting that he did not see the legendary genius magician.
Aslaqi was even more disappointed. She wanted to talk to Hecate to know if she had the ability to correctly interpret the Dragonborn.
"Maybe the teacher deliberately avoided you." Ximu thought for a moment and then added.
"Don't worry, I'll ask the teacher tonight."
In fact, he knew very well why Aslaqi wanted to see the teacher so much, but this would only make Aslaqi more desperate.
With Hecate's current ability, there is no way to correctly interpret the magic left by a top witch.
The Creation Witch, who left the Dragonborn magic, had a legendary experience of raising gods as pets.
If the Omniscient God hadn't sent the Creation Witch to hell, I'm afraid this Creation Witch could have trained more gods to be pets.
By the way... It is worth mentioning that there is also a huge gap between gods, excluding the Omniscient God and the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Death, which are clearly very strong gods.
There are also goddesses who control, for example, "desserts", or male gods who control "rainwater". In short, gods can be beings that control very narrow concepts.
It is not the case that every god controls a very broad range of powers, otherwise the player will have to face a group of mechanism monsters, and the difficulty of clearing the game will obviously increase.
And more importantly, it is very tiring to design a group of outrageous mechanism monsters, and the game officials will not be crazy, not only to exhaust themselves, but also to exhaust the players.
So not all gods are outrageously strong.
"By the way, I have to go out for a while." Ximu seemed to remember something and said helplessly.
"The teacher asked me to study a topic independently, and I am not allowed to rely on the financial resources of the rich woman and the support of my subordinates."
Zed asked curiously, "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"Keep it secret for the time being." Waving his hand, Ximu washed up, and then hurriedly left the hotel.
And Yaslaqi shook her head helplessly when she saw this, and then took Zed out shopping, and met with the top executives of the Magic Kingdom.
...
...
Dark.
Dark.
The candles that seemed to be about to go out at any time swayed, providing a negligible light source, allowing people to barely see the study room.
"Hush, keep quiet." Ximu raised a finger and pointed to the neat noble family in the center of the sacrificial array, "Lady Witch of Death likes a quiet environment."
"Woo woo woo woo!!!" The noble family in the center of the array struggled more fiercely, and was obviously more afraid. If they were just killed, it would be fine.
But being sacrificed to the Witch of Death, the soul will be taken away, which means there is no way to reincarnate.
However, no matter how scared this family was, the spell to summon the Witch of Death sounded, and the blue ghost fire burned and climbed onto the sacrifice.
As the sacrifice burned.
The witch then appeared, she remained mysterious as always, with her hands and five fingers folded in front of her chest, and her long hair fell like waves.
"Human, what reason are you looking for me this time?"
