Chapter 120 - The Legend of the Weapon Master, Kordontimus
Chapter 120: The Legend of the Weapon Master, Kordontimus
[You have saved the king’s daughter. Friendliness + 200]
Mike immediately received a system notification.
Originally, he thought that this friendliness would only increase by 100, or even none.
After all, Mike had only increased his friendliness by 100 after completing Wheat Field Guardian mission.
He did not expect that in the king’s eyes, the princess was more important than the food source of the whole country.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Mike. The higher the friendliness, the better.
He looked at the king and remained silent.
The king did not bother to exchange polite greetings. He immediately looked at a trusted servant beside him and said,
“Go and bring me the certificate that I have been saving for a long time.”
The attendant revealed a surprised expression and asked,
“Are you referring to… that certificate?”
The king nodded with a serious expression.
The attendant did not dare to delay and immediately left the place.
Listening to their conversation, Mike was also a little curious.
What exactly was that “certificate”?
No matter what it was, it must be very valuable.
While waiting, the king kept pulling Mike to praise him.
Mike said, “Don’t worry about me. You two have been separated for a long time. You should talk.”
The king was very grateful for Mike’s attitude, and he looked at Mike with more admiration.
Soon, the servant came back.
He held a sheepskin scroll carefully in his hand. From his careful attitude, one could tell how important this sheepskin scroll was.
The king took the sheepskin scroll from the servant with a solemn expression.
From his expression, Mike could see that the king seemed to be reluctant to part with it.
This also made Mike more certain that this sheepskin scroll must be of extraordinary value.
After a moment, the king finally spoke.
“Before I give you this reward, let me tell you a story first.
“When I was still very young, about… 50 years ago, our human race once encountered a major crisis.”
Hearing this, Mike became serious.
The beginning of such a story would often lead to a lot of important information, most likely an extremely rare hidden mission.
The king continued,
“At that time, we humans could be said to be the most powerful nation on this continent, and all the races in the entire continent were unable to make an enemy out of us.
“However, this kind of strength would sometimes not bring us peace. On the contrary, it would instead bring disaster.”
“Disaster?” The little tree spirit stone could not help but repeat this word.
The king looked at the little tree spirit stone and nodded seriously.
“That’s right, a disaster.
“The prosperity of a country is indeed a good thing, but the other races will not idly sit by and watch as we continue to prosper.
“If they neglected everything, perhaps one day they will be eliminated by us. They are afraid that this kind of situation will happen.”
Stone showed a puzzled expression and asked,
“But, as long as you agree to live in peace with each other, isn’t that enough?”
Hearing such naive words, the king laughed loudly for a while, and then asked coldly,
“What’s the use of such a promise? Will they believe it?”
Little tree spirit, Stone, subconsciously replied,
“Why not?”
This time, the king was at a loss for words.
In fact, if the other races really believed it, then the human race would definitely break such an agreement.
This was because a race that was too pure would definitely not be able to survive. Human nature’s greed would lead to an invasion.
Mike smiled helplessly and said to Stone,
“Don’t interrupt others. It’s impolite.”
The little tree spirit stuck out its tongue and whispered an apology. Then, it quietly looked at the king, looking forward to the next development of the story.
Without these questions that were too pure to be answered, the king was relieved and continued to speak.
“At that time, almost all the races on the continent had joined forces and officially started a war with us humans.
“This battle lasted for a full ten years… you know, no matter how strong we humans are, we can’t be enemies with the entire continent.
“During these ten years, the strength of the human race gradually weakened, and in the end, it was almost at the point of destruction.
“At this critical moment of life and death, that person appeared.”
“That person?” the small tree spirit stone could not hold it in anymore and asked curiously.
The king nodded, looked at Mike and asked,
“You should know the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, right?”
Mike was slightly stunned, nodded and said,
“Yes, I know. Though what does this matter have to do with him?”
Mike thought that this story was related to the mission of the Legend of the Hero, perhaps an important clue for the mission.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t.
The king continued,
“The person who appeared at that time was Gilgamesh’s teacher, Kordontimus.
“Perhaps you haven’t heard of this name, but you must have heard of the title Weapon Master.”
“…” after a moment of silence, Mike nodded.
In fact, he had never heard of it.
However, in order to prevent embarrassment, he still nodded.
Seeing Mike nod, the king continued.
“At that time, Gilgamesh fought hard for many years and made outstanding military achievements, but he was still unable to turn the tide of the human race’s defeat.
“Helpless, he had no choice but to return to that place and ask his teacher for help.
“According to him, he knelt there for a whole month before Kordontimus was moved by Gilgamesh’s persistence.
“At that time, our human race was about to be utterly defeated.
“At the last moment, Kordontimus alone defeated hundreds of thousands of troops!”
Hearing this, the little tree spirit, Stone, let out a cry of surprise.
“My god, this man is too powerful!”
The king nodded and said,
“That’s right, he is the most powerful person I have ever seen in my life.
“He carries 18 weapons on his back. None of those weapons are ordinary. Moreover, in his hands, every single weapon will be fully utilized.
“His battle… can be called art!”
Hearing this, Mike’s brows had already furrowed.
It sounded like this was indeed a very powerful person.
However, what did this have to do with him?
Hearing this, Mike already had some guesses.
This so-called “Proof” was most likely a proof of obtaining a hidden class.
Moreover, this hidden class might be what the king called a “Weapon Master”. As for the teacher, it was most likely Kordontimus.
However, he could already use all his weapons.
After all, he had not chosen any classes so far.
For him, choosing a class and then giving up all his weapons was a very stupid thing to do.
Moreover, if he could only obtain this hidden class and still be able to use these weapons after changing classes, it would not mean much to Mike.
His expression was a little disappointed.
The king saw Mike’s expression, but he misunderstood something.
He thought that Mike did not realize how powerful Kordontimus was.
So the king narrowed his eyes mysteriously and added,
“Also, it’s said that all the human job instructors on this continent are students of Kordontimus!”
Hearing this, Mike finally reacted.
All the instructors were students of Kordontimus?
Does that mean that he can learn all the skills of all professions?!
