My front door leads to a comic strip

"Wow, so fast!"

On the vast grassland, Gu Yuan's swift figure was like a raging wind.

Millie Alde chased after her on horseback.

Even with the best of our ability, we can never catch up.

A cold wind swept past his ears, and Gu Yuan leaped up, exclaiming how incredibly exhilarating it was.

Thirty meters per second, which is equivalent to 108 kilometers per hour, was a speed he never dreamed he would achieve with his own body.

If this happened in the real world, it would easily become an urban legend.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his lower body, and Gu Yuan frowned sharply, quickly stopping himself.

He looked down and saw that his calf was twitching; unsurprisingly, it was because his muscles had reached their limit.

Although it can use the wind to accelerate, it still has to rely on the strength of its lower limbs to propel itself.

This is one of the drawbacks of this type of item, but it's enough if it can turn the tide in crucial moments.

Gu Yuan let out a long breath, adjusted his breathing, and slowly sat down cross-legged.

As he rubbed his aching calves, he gazed at the distant meadow and soon saw Miliealde riding up on horseback.

After she arrived, Gu Yuan used magic to relieve his fatigue and stood up again, nimbly flipping back onto his horse.

A surge of heat coursed through my body.

"Thank you for your help."

He looked ahead.

"You're welcome."

Miliald shook her head gently. "Only when you become stronger can we ensure a safe journey to the Central Continent."

Sutton's appearance made her realize the importance of cooperation; the stronger the partner, the better.

She took out a pocket watch from her bosom, glanced at the time, and continued:

"Can you only run for three minutes straight?"

"It's currently three minutes. As long as I keep pushing my limits, my physical fitness will keep getting stronger."

Gu Yuan retorted, suddenly realizing that the breathing technique was a perfect match for his current situation.

In the past, it would take half a day of training to reach my limit, but now, running at full speed for three minutes will have a noticeable effect.

I was thinking of changing it before...

His eyes softened with helplessness.

Milie Alde nodded, gently flicked the reins, and the horse continued to run.

We're still ten miles from the Dragon's Nest, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should arrive before nightfall.

With Gu Yuan's current strength, he could probably handle it easily even without me.

During this time, she needs to think about the development of magic.

When facing enemies, simple explosion magic is too limited in its effectiveness.

He glanced slightly behind him, then abruptly looked away—should he ask him for advice?

I still vividly remember the scene where Gu Yuan deciphered my magic with just a few words…

"Gu Yuan, you..."

After much deliberation, she decided to speak, and Gu Yuan also spoke at that moment.

"Miliarde..."

The two paused simultaneously, probably out of unspoken agreement. Then Gu Yuan raised his hand, signaling Miliearde to speak first.

Later, upon hearing that she wanted to ask him how to develop magic, Gu Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully, then nodded and said:

"No problem, but you need to give me some time. Your magic is actually powerful enough; you were just countered last time."

This can only be attributed to bad luck, although luck is, to some extent, also a part of ability.

He ignored the other person's hesitant expression, paused for two seconds, and continued:

"Put me down when we get close to the nest. I have to leave for a while. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

To do something well, you must first have the right tools. He had no idea about the dragon's defensive capabilities and had to prepare in advance.

Although Millie Alde was curious about where Gu Yuan was going, she had gotten used to it after spending these days together, so she nodded slightly in relief.

"Herod—"

As the horses neighed and the sound of their hooves ceased, the two dismounted in an open area about a kilometer from their lair at dusk.

After the tents were set up, it got completely dark, and the starlight illuminated the surroundings.

Millie Alde had just finished washing up and dried her face when she looked up and found that Gu Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

She couldn't help but sigh, remembering that mysterious door...

Humans are mysterious; who knows when they will open their hearts to me?

"Gurgle~"

Bubbling water bubbled in a pot not far away, and white and yellow ingredients poured out all at once, emitting a strange aroma that instantly pulled her thoughts back to reality.

"Gulp~"

She swallowed unconsciously.

Well, what's done is done.

Let's eat first.

I feel more and more that I can't live without Gu Yuan.

……

Japan.

A group of boys quietly approached the alley.

As darkness fell, the man nervously looked around and was surprised to find that there were no police officers stationed nearby. He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Yosh, we're really lucky. Looks like it's nothing serious."

"In the afternoon, even the internet went down. I thought something like this was going to happen again..."

Before he could finish speaking, another boy raised his finger and gently shushed him.

Who knows if the police are hiding in the shadows? Their risky arrival already violates school rules.

But curiosity is hard to suppress, and since I can't get into a good university anyway, I might as well enjoy life while I have the limited time I have.

The person who spoke nodded, and when he got closer and saw the ruins in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp.

"What...is this?!"

Anyone unaware of the situation might think this is a battlefield in some country.

A relatively timid boy took a few steps back and then bumped into something hard and cold.

thump.

His neck stiffened instantly, his teeth chattering. He told himself not to panic, not to panic, and then he forced himself to turn his head.

As the dim moonlight shone down, a burly man with a serious expression appeared before us.

The sharp gaze was fixed on him.

"ah--"

……

Not far away, inside a disguised police car.

The two police officers sipped their coffee, staring at the screen showing students being reprimanded by plainclothes officers, and shook their heads helplessly.

An elderly policeman unpacked a hamburger and ate it slowly, bite by bite, his brow slightly furrowed.

"These high school students, sigh."

He used to be just as impulsive, but now he's learned his lesson. Even if it's tiring, he'll prioritize his safety.

Gang shootout? What a joke. He didn't smell any gunpowder; it was clearly caused by unconventional forces.

Just as he was lost in various conspiracy theories, a drone suddenly appeared over the alley and quickly flew into the depths of the city.

The police officers hiding in the shadows were stunned by what they saw.

They are an organization ordered to guard against intelligence theft by personnel from other countries. Commonly known as the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Is this... such arrogance? Are you not even going to act anymore?

A young man cursed under his breath and tried to draw his gun to fire, but his senior grabbed his arm and stopped him.

This is most likely something from Alika's side, so... let's follow it quietly.

With the use of hand gestures, more than 30% of the police officers left the area.

However, three minutes later, another drone appeared, this time flying even faster.

The police officers could no longer maintain their composure, but they could only grit their teeth and continue the chase.

Gu Yuan almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene through the screen.

This is probably what it means to be paranoid and see enemies everywhere.

There are also ten drones around, and as a precaution, fingerprints and all traces on the drones have been wiped off.

That's enough.
