Chapter 290: Forgotten Matters

“Hey, hey, hey. Did you guys forget about something?”

Mike, who was in the crowd, looked at the two people in front of him and spoke helplessly.

Timus and Gilroy looked at each other, but they did not understand what Mike meant. After a brief period of time, Timus finally took the initiative to ask.

“Teacher, we have done what we should have done.

“Although the negotiations didn’t yield many benefits, we humans are clearly the victors of this war.

“Don’t tell me that I’ve actually forgotten to do something?”

Timus said this very sincerely.

Gilroy, who was beside him, could not help but mutter in his heart with disagreement. ‘You call this not reaping many benefits?’

After receiving a large amount of compensation, the elven race would probably have a hard time developing for a long time to come. The overall strength of the elven race had almost regressed by fifty years!

If the elf queen hears this, she would probably be so angry that she would throw a fit.

Regardless of whether it was Timus or Gilroy, they both thought that they had done their best and could not remember what they had forgotten.

It was not until Mike looked down on his shirt and revealed the tender bud on his chest.

“This thing is still growing on my body…” Mike helplessly pointed at the tender bud.

Timus opened his mouth and his eyes widened slightly. He had really forgotten about this!

“Ahem, teacher, I’ll go and help you think of a way to dispose of it.”

With that, Timus planned to return to the Ancient City of War to discuss the details further with the newly anointed queen. At the very least, she should remove the sprout from Mike’s body.

However, Mike waved his hand and said, “Don’t go alone on this matter. I’ll go with you.

“It saves you the trouble of having to come back and look for me after you’ve finished your discussion.”

After saying that, Mike turned to look at Gilroy and smiled, “You should lead the soldiers back first and report this good news to the king.

“After all, you’re a soldier. You must put the interests of the country first. Timus will handle my personal matters.”

Gilroy hesitated for a moment. However, when he saw Timus nodding with a smile, he too agreed.

“Alright, then I’ll go back first. When I go back, I’ll shall bid my farewell to His Majesty the King, and then head to Violet Valley.”

Hearing this, Mike was slightly surprised. It seemed that Timus really intended to take Gilroy as his disciple. Thinking of this, Mike could not help but reveal a knowing smile.

Perhaps this would become the tradition of Timus’s journey to take in disciples.

After bidding farewell to Gilroy, the two of them exchanged a look outside the city and then walked towards the Ancient City of War.

Although the war was almost over, the impact of the war did not settle down at all. The Ancient City of War was still silent. The civilians were all hiding in their homes. The streets were empty. There were not even shops that were open for business.

When the two of them passed through the empty city gates and stepped onto the streets, a familiar voice came from behind them.

“Who are you? What are you doing here?”

Mike was slightly stunned when he heard this voice. He felt that it sounded familiar.

The two of them immediately turned around and looked behind them. What they saw was a familiar, young face.

“Jess? Why are you here?”

Mike looked at the young elf soldier in front of him and asked in surprise. That’s right, this was Jess, the guard who had dealt with Mike and Timus before. Jess looked at the two of them and was slightly stunned.

“Because of special circumstances, I was temporarily transferred to the Ancient City of War… wait, why should I answer your questions!”

Jess stopped halfway before he reacted. His eyes widened as he spoke.

“The elf race and the human race are currently in the midst of a war. The two of you humans should hurry up and leave this place. If the other elves see you, they might mistake you for human soldiers.”

Hearing this, Mike and Timus looked at each other. It seemed that this kid did not know that the war has ended. He also did not know that the war has ended because of the two people in front of him.

Knowing this, Mike smiled, “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine. I believe that if we didn’t do anything wrong, you elven soldiers wouldn’t ignore the law and make things difficult for us, right?

“Don’t you elves value the law a lot?”

Jess opened his mouth, but he could retort what Mike had said. Although it should be so, no one had any reason to make things difficult for them without committing a crime.

However, this was a period of war after all, and now was a special situation. How could the elf race let two humans into the city?

Although the young guard felt that what Mike said was wrong, he did not know how to refute it.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first. You can get back to work. Good luck.”

Mike waved his hand and was ready to leave.

However, Jess stopped them again.

“No, I can’t let you guys leave just like that.”

Jess subconsciously stopped them, but could not find a valid reason to do so.

He could only stammer as he spoke.

“I’m not sure what you guys are going to do. I can’t let you guys into the city at such a crucial time.”

Mike looked at the young elf soldier in front of him and frowned slightly as Jess continued on.

“But as you said, you didn’t commit a crime. I can’t just detain you like this, so…

“You have to tell me what you’re going to do in the city.”

Jess’s last sentence was very firm. Mike looked at the young elf soldier in front of him and sighed helplessly, “I know I could lie to you and go about my day… but I won’t.

“I also don’t want to tell you what we’re going to do as it’s a personal matter.”

Hearing this, Jace was slightly stunned. He never thought that the man named F*ck would be so direct and honest.

However, this answer was obviously not enough for Jace to let them in. For a moment, the young elf soldier was caught in a dilemma. On one side was the safety of the country and the people, and on the other side was the moral bottom line and the law that he had to uphold.

He did not know how to make a decision.

In the end, he hesitantly spoke, “It’s fine if you don’t want to say it, but I have to follow you. If you don’t agree, I won’t let you into the city even if you kill me.”

Hearing this, Mike looked deeply at the young soldier in front of him and nodded with a smile, “Okay, you can come with us.”

“Where are you going now?”

“We’re going to find the elven queen.”
