<h4>Chapter 147: The Boldness of the Human King</h4>


    At the South Gate of Crete City.


    Mike nodded as he walked out of the city.


    Behind him were the king of the Trolls and the king of the Dwarves.


    “Don’t worry, five million gold coins will be sent over very soon.”


    “The residents of Sarco City and Venezu City will move out tonight.”


    “I hope you can persuade Lord Onevis Harvey to end this war.”


    Chris and Jacob spoke one after another, their faces full of ttery.


    “Alright, I’ll pass on the message.”


    Mike turned around, looked at the two kings, and said with a smile, “Today’s negotiation was very pleasant. I hope it will be just as pleasant next time.”


    The corners of Jacob’s eyes twitched twice.


    ‘You’re happy, but we’re miserable.’


    Two cities plus five million gold coins was not a small amount!


    He squeezed out a smile that looked uglier than crying and said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be a next time. We Trolls and humans will be friends forever.”


    Chris quickly added, “So will we Dwarves. We’ll never be enemies with humans again!”


    Mike pretended not to hear these words.


    Such promises could be broken at any time.


    The most important thing was the ownership of the cities.


    Because in a year’s time, the new region and the big region would merge, and everything would be restored to its original state.


    In other words, this will be the only year where the two cities would belong to the human race.


    When they arrived at the big region in a year’s time, the two kings would not have this memory.


    The yers could only leave behind their belongings.


    After discussing all this, Mike was ready to leave.


    Jacob deliberately said in an ingratiating manner,


    “This… Lord Envoy, do you need us to help you prepare a carriage to send you back?”


    Hearing this, Mike looked at Jacob as if he was looking at a fool.


    Jacob felt ufortable under this gaze. He could not help but ask, “What’s wrong?”


    Mike did not answer. Instead, he took out the hearthstone from his backpack and began to cast a spell.


    After a few seconds, he disappeared from the spot.


    Looking at the empty space in front of him, Jacob felt extremely awkward.


    He had forgotten that Mike was an adventurer. An adventurer could use the hearthstone to quickly return to the city.


    At this moment, Jacob felt like an idiot.


    He turned to look at Chris and coughed.


    “Ahem, I’ll go and prepare to inform the residents of Venezu City to evacuate.


    “You should hurry up. If there are still people in the city before tonight… none of us know what the human race will do.”


    After saying that, Jacob directly turned around and entered the city.


    Chris, on the other hand, appeared very helpless.


    The guard he brought with him was dead. He had to go to the city and find a few soldiers to protect him.


    ..


    The City of Light Tavern.


    Mike appeared suddenly.


    The bartender looked up at Mike and said nothing. He continued to wipe the wine ss in his hand.


    He was an Elf, so Mike’s human affinity did not affect him at all.


    The bartender was already used to the sudden appearance of yers in pubs.


    Mike did not care about it, so he just walked out of the pub and went straight to the pce.


    Along the way, all the NPCs greeted Mike warmly.


    This was rare in the past.


    Because the feelings of ordinary NPCs toward Mike were veryplicated.


    It was difficult for them to be enthusiastic about a “worthy viin”.


    Only the bandits would naturally worship Mike.


    Thinking of the bandits, Mike felt the need to free some time and see how they were living in the barracks.


    However, he had to go to the king now.


    Soon, he arrived at the pce without any obstruction.


    After all, besides having high friendliness, he was also the king’s personal Commander of the Adventurer Legion, so no one stopped him from entering and leaving the pce.


    The king was currently in the conference room, looking at the world map of this continent while drinking the drinks prepared by the pce chefs.


    Seeing that Mike hade over, the king did not wait for him to speak before he took the initiative to ask,


    “How are the negotiations going?”


    Mike smiled slightly. “The other party is willing to hand over the ownership of Sarco City, Venezu City, and the surroundingnd, as well as five million gold coins aspensation.”


    Pfft!


    Hearing this, the king spat out the drink that he was drinking.


    He stared at Mike with wide eyes and asked in disbelief,


    “What did you say? Two cities and five million gold coins?


    “You only spent so little time to obtain so many benefits?!”


    Mike nodded with a smile.


    In fact, if it had been a little longer, he could have gotten even more.


    However, the other party hadpromised rather quickly.


    Seeing Mike nod, the king stood up excitedly and said,


    “Well done! God yer, you’ve really opened my eyes.


    “You’re strong, and you’re so good at negotiation. I’ve never seen such a reliable person!”


    He paced back and forth excitedly in the room as if he was thinking about something.


    Mike smiled and reminded him.


    “You haven’t given me a reward yet.”


    If he was a native, he would probably be too embarrassed to bring this up so directly.


    Though it did not matter to the yers.


    The king was also very clear about this, so he did mind and said with a smile,


    “I’m thinking about this matter. I have a good idea. I don’t know what you think.”


    “Let’s hear about it.” Mike was also very curious. He had gained such a big benefit, so what reward would the king give him?


    However, when he heard the king’s proposal, Mike was still a little surprised.


    “I’ve decided to give Sarco City to you. How about it?”


    The king looked at Mike with a burning gaze and said very generously.


    Hearing this news, Mike asked in surprise,


    “A city? You actually want to reward me with a city?”


    “That’s right, you deserve it!” the king patted Mike’s shoulder.


    His purpose was very simple.


    In his opinion, this was to bribe God yer.


    He hoped that God yer would always stand on his side.


    Of course, this was risky.


    No one could guarantee that God yer would not betray Sarco City.


    However, the king decided to take a gamble!


    Because he knew that if God yer wanted to betray the city, he could easily take any city away.


    This was his cleverness.


    Mike thought for a moment and nodded,


    “I don’t know how to manage the city. You know, I’m just an adventurer.”


    “Don’t worry about that. If you need, I will send some officials to help you manage the city. Of course, they will only listen to your orders in the future.”


    “In addition, you can also take away the soldiers under you. If there are no soldiers in a city, it would be too inappropriate.”


    The king did not hesitate at all and immediately provided Mike with some solutions.


    Regarding this, Mike was really a little surprised.


    He did not expect the king to be so decisive.


    After all, to give an adventurer a city and some soldiers required a lot of boldness.


    After all, it was very likely for Mike and his soldiers to be independent!


    This boldness made Mike feel some admiration for him.


    The king smiled and brought Mike to the world map. He pointed at the map and asked,


    “Which city do you want?”
