After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 186 - 58 You Seem to Need Help

"...is that so?" Xi Mu was momentarily startled, then he realized and smiled lightly, "That’s really great."

"Crying is a good thing too?" Yasiraqi smiled faintly and asked back, looking at the troubled yet explanatory expression of Ahtal.

She chuckled lightly.

"Don’t worry about me bottling up negative emotions continuously, death is not the endpoint of life, nor is it an eternal farewell."

"It’s just a brief separation, right?" Xi Mu added, picking up the teacup from the table and taking a sip, "Having Hell, is actually... quite nice."

In this game setting, except for those favored by the gods, everyone who died would go to Hell, meaning one could see their family, lovers, or...enemies there. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Of course, since people could not observe the existence of Hell or communicate with the deceased relatives, the game’s NPCs still harbored fear and doubt towards death.

"Actually, having Hell isn’t entirely a good thing." Yasiraqi gently shook her head, looking at Ahtal’s puzzled gaze.

Her red lips parted slightly, intending to explain.

"Bang, bang!" Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door erupted along with the anxious voice of Jed outside.

"Boss, dragons have surrounded the Sky City!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xi Mu immediately stood up, exchanging a glance with Yasiraqi, who also rose, then they left the room.

For the dragons to come looking for trouble, that was within their expectations.

...

...

Above the Sky City.

More than a dozen dragons circled and danced in the air, looking as though they might attack at any moment, but unexpectedly, the residents of Sky City were not very panicked.

This was partly because the residents of the Sky City were temporarily unaware that Siegfried had died, and partly because the army of Sky City showed a gesture: any movement from the dragons would immediately be met with retaliation from Sky City.

With a great accumulation of wealth, Sky City not only possessed a variety of expensive alchemical equipment but also maintained an army quality generally higher than that of ordinary kingdoms.

Moreover, it also gathered a group of exceptionally strong individuals.

At this moment.

At the main entrance of the palace.

"Finally coming out." Yimar, with his hands in his pockets, looked at Yasiraqi and Ahtal walking out with their escorts.

"Let’s talk about the magic of capturing the power of dragons."

"Just grab them and read their memories," a bald woman interjected as she stepped forward, with intimidating steel spikes inserted into her head and her skin covered in runes, presenting a rather nauseating sight.

"If you want us to spare Sky City, it’s simple, just let us confirm no one knows the magic of capturing the power of dragons."

"Ah, how direct, lacking elegance," Yimar shook his head, stroking his brown hair with his right hand full of gems.

He seemed to disdain the bald woman’s lack of elegance, yet his expression showed agreement, displaying a sense of superiority.

"But you don’t have a choice, do you?"

"With your intelligence, you would naturally think we don’t have a choice," said Yasiraqi in a calm voice, her tone mocking as she looked at Yimar, "So this is the Prince of the Dragon Kingdom? Seems to be intellectually challenged."

The atmosphere grew silent.

"..." Yimar froze, turned his head to glance at the bald woman beside him, and pointed at Yasiraqi then at himself.

"Your Highness, she indeed called you an idiot," the bald woman seriously nodded, deepening the silence of the atmosphere.

Yimar’s expression turned cold, staring unhappily at Yasiraqi and asked:

"It seems you don’t want to talk."

"You never intended to have a proper discussion from the start, did you?" Yasiraqi’s voice was cold, "Since you never intended to talk properly, why expect respect from others?"

On her way here, she had heard about the power of dragons Ahtal had captured, and that the witnesses had been let go.

This meant that the Dragon Kingdom would never let go of Ahtal unless she decided to cut ties with Ahtal and cooperated in a submissive manner with the Dragon Kingdom, which might allow Sky City to be spared.

However, she had never had the habit of abandoning her friends, and Yimar was a rotten dragon, he would not spare Sky City.

So she had no other choice.

"Actually, there is something to talk about." A tall woman with blue hair came forward, looking at Ahtal with a complex expression:

"The person currently in charge of Sky City’s affairs is not Prince Yimar but me as his proxy."

"You as the proxy?" Yasiraqi glanced at the displeased Yimar, immediately realizing the truth in those words.

The mother dragon gracefully smiled and placed her hand over her chest, "Matalina, that’s my name, currently fully responsible for matters related to Sky City."

After being released by Ahtal, she fell into a dilemmatic state; first, she could not hide the fact that Ahtal had captured the power of dragons.

However, the power Ahtal captured was from Siegfried, and knowing that she would report it, he spared her life.

So, possibly for mental balance or as a way of paying back, she reported the foul deeds Yimar had done during this time, seizing the authority over the actions targeting Sky City.

Now she wanted to give Sky City a chance, to not be destroyed by the dragons.

"Hmph, how boring," Yimar snorted unhappily, his smile unpleasant as he looked at Yasiraqi, "That woman is too proud, she wouldn’t let anyone easily probe into her memories."

"Probing memories?" Yasiraqi frowned displeased, soon hearing the mother dragon responding.
