At the sight of the banner, Mike was slightly dumbfounded.
Then he realized that it seemed like a soldier had sent back information from the battlefield.
Mike was very curious about what the soldier said.
He walked into the city step by step. The NPCs in the city all looked at Mike with respect.
When he walked to the fountain square in the middle of the City of Light, the king was already there.
The king shouted loudly,
“Our hero has returned, let's cheer for him!”
“Wooooo!”
All the civilians around him cheered.
There are also a lot of players in the middle, and they seem to be very interested in the issue.
Seeing the enthusiastic reaction of the civilians, the king nodded his head in relief. He solemnly announced,
“This time, God Slayer has made a great contribution to protecting our country. I will give him a gift that will satisfy everyone!
“At the same time, to celebrate the victory of this war, the City of Light will start a three-day carnival. All food and drinks in the city will be free.
“Of course, the royal family will bear the bill. Rest assured, shop owner.”
Hearing this news, everyone cheered once more.
The eyes of the players sparkle.
All of that stuff is free. To the NPCs, this was simply a celebration.
However, for the players, this was an opportunity to stock up.
Sure enough, they would fill their warehouse to the brim. This way, they would not have to buy these items for a long time.
While in battle mode, food and alcohol can replenish their HP and MP. It's very important to them.
Of course, the NPCs did not know about the minds of the players.
They only cared about God Slayer.
That's right, Mike's human affinity has increased by 100, reaching 400!
As long as he gained another 600, he could raise his human affinity to the level of fanatical belief.
It is very difficult for other players to improve the friendliness, especially the kind of friendliness that affects the entire race.
In general, it would only increase if one contributed to the entire race, although it would not increase much.
On the other hand, Mike has done a lot of great things.
He had protected the food source that everyone in the City of Light relied on to survive, recover the lost princess, and win the war alone.
These are honorable deeds for all mankind.
Of course, not only his hospitality, but Mike's honor points also increased by 100,000.
Including the honor points earned from killing enemies in war, it had only increased by over 100,000.
However, a rise of more than 100,000 did not affect his overall status, as Mike's honor points were still negative.
He's still a respected criminal.
After saying what he needed to say, the king looked at Mike — he wanted to talk to Mike alone.
Mike naturally saw this and immediately followed.
The two of them walked towards the palace step by step.
On the way, the two of them chatted casually, and Mike took the opportunity to ask a small question in his heart.
“How do you know that I will enter through this city gate?”
He was referring to the banner, which he was eager to know.
The king laughed and said,
“Each city gate has a banner, so you can see it regardless of how you enter the city.”
“No, no, no, you misunderstood, I mean…
“If I appear from the store..”
The player has a stone fireplace, so they can quickly return to the city through a stone fireplace.
It is very convenient for the player, and the cooldown is only an hour.
Hearing this, the king laughed happier, but he said nothing.
At the tavern.
Allen was still sitting in the corner drinking alone. Drunk as usual.
“Everyone went to welcome the hero. My pub business is deteriorating again.
“And this banner..”.
The bartender raised his head to look at the red banner inside the pub and grumbled sadly,
“This thing has ruined the atmosphere in my pub.”
Thatvs right. If Mike came to the pub through the fireplace, he could still see the banner that the City of Light had installed to greet him.
However, this banner was hung inside the tavern.
It has to be said that this design is quite meticulous, but unfortunately, Mike was unable to see it.
On the other hand, Mike and the king had already climbed the stairs leading to the palace.
Compared to the streets, this place was much quieter. Ordinary people cannot appear here.
The king also took advantage of this opportunity to chat about serious matters.
“God Slayer, what do you think we should do next?”
This is also the reason why he brought Mike here. He wanted to discuss with Mike about the follow-up to this war.
Mike thought for a moment and said,
“I think it's time the war ended. There is no need for us to fight.
“In fact, regardless of whether we win or lose the war, the people will always be the ones to suffer.”
Stone, who was behind Mike, jumped up and stuck out his head,
“Yes, yes, it's time to end it.”
The king looked at Mike with a bit of surprise.
He never expected Mike to be an anti-war activist.
In fact, anyone would be surprised. An adventurer who massacred countless NPCs in Victory City was actually against the war.
That's very contradictory.
However, the king still nodded and said,
“I agree with your point of view. Our human combat power does need to be replenished.”
At this point, he glanced at Mike with hidden bitterness.
‘If this guy doesn't kill so many people in Victory City, his combat power is enough.’
Mike pretended not to see the king's gaze and continued walking.
The king sighed and said,
“If we continue to attack Dwarves and Trolls, other races may also attack us. This is an outcome we cannot bear.
“So, we'd better end it like this.
“However, because of the Dwarves and Trolls who started the war against us, the end of the war is that they ask for peace.
“So I hope you can go as a messenger and discuss with them about compensation for this war.”
Naturally, they had to pay because they had lost the war. War is simple and brutal.
A purple dialogue box appeared in front of Mike.
[Receive mission: Negotiation]
Mike immediately select “Ya”.
A new mission appears in his mission box.
[Negotiation]
[The war must end, but the issue of compensation has not been resolved. Please go to the City of Crete as an envoy and complete the negotiations.]
[Mission reward: decided based on negotiation results.]
The reward for this mission makes sense.
If Mike manages to get a lot of benefits for the human camp, he will receive a very good reward.
If the benefits are small, the rewards will be small.
The mission, of course, was made so that Mike could do his best to maximize the benefits of negotiations.
The king asked,
“When will you go?”
Mike smiled.
“Let's do it now, while they're still afraid of me.”
