Chapter 317: Do You Want to Drink the Tea Now?
Outside the elf territory, a figure suddenly appeared without any warning, causing the soldiers on the city wall to become nervous.
When they saw the figure clearly, they became even more nervous.
“Yes, it’s a human! It’s a human adventurer!!”
All of a sudden, all the soldiers entered a state of battle readiness.
Meanwhile, Mike completely ignored the panic on the city wall. He turned to look at Egg and said, “Egg, you were satisfied with what you ate just now, right?”
Although Egg could not speak, it could express its thoughts through its actions and its intention to communicate with its owner.
It could be seen that he was indeed very satisfied with the meal.
Mike smiled slightly, rubbed Egg’s head before he spoke again, “It’s good that you’re satisfied. You’ve finished your business. Now, it’s time to do mine.”
After saying that, he swaggered into the city gate with Egg and Stone.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city wall immediately rushed down and blocked the city gate. Their actions were so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
Mike looked at the rapidly gathering elven soldiers and raised his eyebrows, “You want to stop me?”
All the soldiers became nervous. One of the elves — who looked like a leader — walked out of the crowd with a frown. He gave Mike a once-over and replied, “Adventurer? What are your intentions in the Ancient City of War?”
Mike smiled and said, “I’m just looking for someone. I don’t mean any harm.”
After saying that, he nodded and prepared to enter the city.
However, the leader of the guards moved slightly to the side and once again blocked Mike’s path.
“I’m sorry, things have changed. The entire city is under martial law and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave. Although you humans have just won the war, this is of an entirely different matter.
“We have already paid the price that we should pay. Please don’t step any further than this!”
As the leader, he naturally had to set a good example in front of the soldiers. After the leader finished speaking, the soldiers behind him seemed to have gained more confidence, and their aura seemed to become stronger.
Mike looked at the leader in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He said coldly, “Did you know that today’s your lucky day?”
“What do you mean?” The leader’s face turned a little ugly. He vaguely felt that the other party was threatening him.
Mike continued, “If I didn’t come to find someone today and didn’t want to cause trouble, you guys would have already been dead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind the leader burst into laughter.
“A puny adventurer actually dared to say such arrogant words!”
“We’ll all die in front of you? Who do you think you are!”
“This is simply the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!”
Hearing the mocking laughter of these soldiers, Mike remained expressionless.
Indeed, generally speaking, players were very afraid of NPCs. NPCs were often much stronger than players and could take the lives of players with a single move.
So it was normal for them to think so. However, Mike did not want to prove anything today.
If he killed the NPCs here now, all the NPCs in the Ancient City of War would become hostile to Mike, reducing their favorability.
This way, it would be difficult for Mike to complete the hidden mission issued by the bartender.
Thinking of this, Mike smiled slightly as he spoke, “Since you won’t let me pass through here, then I’ll take a detour.”
Hearing this, the leader of the soldiers frowned. The Ancient City of War had a total of four city gates, North, South, East, and West. There were many soldiers that guarded each gate. No matter how many detours he took, he could not enter the city.
However, he had an odd feeling in his heart. A feeling that… this human adventurer was not joking.
The next moment, Mike held Egg in one hand and Stone in the other. He smiled and said,
“I look forward to seeing you all again.”
After saying that, he disappeared on the spot. It was as if he had never been here.
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers were stunned on the spot and looked at each other.
A human adventurer suddenly appeared, provoked them a few times, and then suddenly disappeared.
This kind of situation had never happened before.
The leader was a little frustrated. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it was. Thinking of this, the leader looked at the soldier beside him and said, “Go find General Jess and tell him what happened today.”
…
At the edge of the Ancient City of War, in front of a small wooden house. Mike suddenly appeared there.
He put down Stone and Eggs first before speaking, “If I had known this would happen, I would have come here directly next time. This wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.”
However, Stone put its hands on its waist and said, “You should teach them a lesson. I was really angry just now!”
Mike smiled from the reaction of his little friend.
“Not this time though. We still have things to do. Don’t worry, if anyone treats us like that again, we’ll teach them a lesson!”
“Okay!”
Stone put down its hands on its waist in a more relaxed manner and said, “If anyone is like this, you can give them a good spanking.”
Mike smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he went forward and knocked on the wooden door.
Knock, knock, knock.
After a few consecutive knocks, Mike stood outside the door and waited quietly. A moment later, an old voice came from inside the wooden house.
“Come in.”
Mike did not say much. He directly pushed open the door and entered the house.
The furniture in the house was very simple and crude. Other than a bed, a table, four chairs, and a wardrobe, there was almost nothing else.
Beside the table, an elderly elven woman sat on a chair.
Four cups of tea were poured on the table in front of her, and wisps of smoke appeared above the tea.
Mike looked at the tea on the table, then looked at the elven elder beside the table. He smiled and said, “Hello, Lady Nikorei. I’m here to ask for your help.”
Nikorei also smiled and said, “This time, you won’t be unwilling to drink my tea, right?”
Hearing this, Mike was slightly stunned. His face was full of surprise.
He stared at Lady Nikorei and frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, “What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you come here once 200 years ago? That time, you brought a young man with you. That young man was destined to achieve great things. Now, he became a famous powerhouse in this world, and you have indeed returned to where you belong.”
Nikorei said matter-of-factly, her tone filled with certainty.
Meanwhile, Mike opened his mouth from what she had just said.
200 years ago?
At this moment, Mike finally realized how stupid he was.
He had always thought that he had gone to a parallel world. He did not expect that he had actually returned to the past.
Right when Mike’s mind was in a mess, he saw Lady Nikorei gently push a cup of tea in front of Mike.
“This time, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about, right? Have a drink. This tea is good for you.”
