Chapter 265 - The Relationship Between the Three Young Men
Chapter 265: The Relationship Between the Three Young Men
The battle ahead was no longer of a concern. After the death of the elven queen was set in stone, the elves were destined not to win the war.
The elven soldiers who had lost their faith, courage, hope, and leadership were destined to be a pile of loose sand.
Timus brought Gilroy to the rear. He looked at Mike and asked after a moment of silence, “What are you doing?”
At this moment, Mike was trying his best to pull out the Greatsword of Meredith that was stuck in the ground. However, no matter how hard he tried, the sword did not move at all.
Mike looked at Timus with a strange gaze and felt a little awkward.
He could not be blamed for this.
The current him was no different from an ordinary person. It was indeed very difficult for him to pull out this weapon that was deeply embedded in the ground. However, at this moment, Timus put down Gilroy and came to the side of Mike and pulled it out. He gently held the hilt of the sword with his hand.
In the next moment, the shape of the sword slowly changed, turning into a dagger.
“…”
He finally understood why Timus had looked at him as if he was looking at a fool, he even felt like a fool.
“So, how was the battle ahead?”
Timus turned to look at the dusty battlefield and said, “There shouldn’t be any problems with victory. It looks like the elven queen won’t be able to survive.”
After saying that, Timus looked at Mike.
“Teacher, what are we going to do next?”
“Of course, we’re going to the royal palace to find the king to reward us.”
“…”
“…”
Looking at the surprised eyes of the two people in front of him, Mike coughed twice and said, “I mean, quickly tell this good news to the king.”
Timus and Gilroy looked at each other, but they showed completely different attitudes. Timus naturally nodded in agreement. The outcome of the war had already been decided, and there would probably be no more powerful opponents that they would have to face.
For him, there was no longer any meaning or interest in continuing to participate in the war.
Gilroy, on the other hand, was different.
“I am a soldier, and my duty is to participate in this war until the end.
“If I leave the battlefield now, I’ll be no different from a deserter.”
Hearing those words, Mike did not say anything more.
Timus, on the other hand, showed a hint of admiration towards Gilroy.
“Kid, I quite admire you.
“You’re clearly just an ordinary soldier. Your strength… I don’t think it’s that strong.
“Why did you dare intervene in the battle between me and the elven queen at that time?”
Hearing this, Gilroy opened his mouth, but he did not immediately answer this question.
Yes, why did he dare to suddenly intervene in the battle?
One had to know that in a battle between top-tier experts, an ordinary soldier like Gilroy could die on the spot if he got close.
Yet, he still did it.
After a moment, Gilroy looked at Mike with a determined look.
“Because the world will always need heroes!”
In Gilroy’s heart, Mike and Timuswere real heroes.
Mike, on the other hand, felt a little guilty as he was only thinking about how to save his own life.
As for Timus, his admiration for Gilroy became even stronger.
“The world always needs heroes. Well said!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Mike and said, “Teacher, I have a very good idea!
“Why don’t you take him as a disciple too.
“I think this kid is very good. He will definitely make something of himself in the future!”
Hearing this suggestion, Mike and Gilroy were both very surprised.
Gilroy looked at Mike nervously.
He knew that Timus, the peerless expert who had defeated the Elven Queen, was Mike’s disciple.
If he could also become Mike’s disciple, would he be able to become a powerful expert like Timus one day too?!
With this though, Gilroy got a little excited.
The corners of Mike’s eyes twitched twice, and he immediately waved his hand, “I don’t want to.”
“Why?” Timus was slightly stunned.
Meanwhile, Gilroy, who stood at the side, had a look of disappointment in his eyes. Obviously, he had wanted to become Mike’s disciple.
The reason why Mike did not agree was because he had his own reasoning. Originally, it was just a simple prank for him to take Timus as his disciple.
Due to him being Timus’s disciple in the game last time, he probably would not have even accepted this Timus as his disciple.
It was too troublesome to accept a disciple. If it was a sunny disciple like Timus, he could still be useful. After all, his strength was quite good.
However, accepting a person like Gilroy?
Forget it!
Even if there was a hero with the same name as him in the game, Gilroy would be useless.
The reality was that Gilroy here was an absolute weakling. He had no strength, no status, and nothing. Such a disciple was simply a burden to Mike, so Mike decisively refused.
Moreover, Mike’s primary goal now was to find a way back. Gilroy clearly did not have the ability to help him.
“Don’t ask why. I don’t want to take him in any way.
“If you admire him so much, you can take him in as your own disciple.”
Mike said as he dug his ear with his little finger. In fact, he casually spoke about it.
However, when Timus heard this, his eyes lit up.
“Teacher, your proposal is really…
“Great!”
“Huh?” Mike and Gilroy were stunned at the same time.
Timus excitedly grabbed Gilroy’s shoulders with both hands and looked at him with a burning gaze as he asked, “Why don’t I become your teacher? Are you willing for that to happen?”
“HUH????”
If the first HUH just now made Gilroy not understand what Timus had said, then this second one stupefied him.
This expert was actually willing to be his teacher?
This kind of thing can actually happen to someone like him?
Gilroy looked at Timus’s serious look and did not ask if this was a joke or something like that. He excitedly swallowed his saliva and immediately nodded heavily. He was afraid that Timus would go back on his word if he agreed too late.’
Seeing Gilroy agree, Timus also laughed happily. He did not expect that he could teach his disciples now.
This scene was actually a bit strange.
After all, these three guys were about the same age, but their identities were three generations of being a master and a disciple.
Gilroy’s teacher was Timus.
Timus’s teacher was Mike.
And Mike’s teacher in the other world was Timus at the same time.
No one could deny that it was strange…
Mike looked at the two young people who fooled around in front of him and shook his head helplessly, “Alright, alright. If you want to mess around, then take your time. I’m heading to the City of Light first.”
Gilroy bowed respectfully to Mike and said, “Take care, Master.”
When Mike heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched again. No matter how he heard it, it sounded awkward. He waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and catch up with the soldiers in front, or it’ll be too late. We’ll be leaving first.”
After saying that, he turned around and left with Timus.
Meanwhile, Gilroy clenched the Sword of the King in his hand as he quickly chased after the large group of people in front of him.
…
After walking for a while, Mike scratched his cheek and could not help but mutter, “I keep feeling like I’ve forgotten something… What exactly is it?”
