While they waited, the king and Mike chatted casually.
It looked like they were chatting, but they were actually waiting for the attendant to bring the news back.
The World’s Greatest Sword Hero had been standing by the side uneasily.
Because he knew the truth!
It was true that all the followers of the god of fire had died, but they had clearly been killed by his master.
Was master not afraid of being discovered?
After a while, the attendant came back in a panic.
This time, the attendant looked at Mike with a different gaze.
However, Mike still looked very relaxed and natural.
The attendant came to the king’s side and whispered a few words. After that, the king’s face also changed.
He stared at Mike in shock and doubt for a long time.
During this process, Mike maintained his composure, while The World’s Greatest Sword Hero’s heart was pounding.
The more he looked, the more he felt that the king seemed to know the truth.
However, to his surprise, the king actually laughed out loud in the end and said,
“I’ve sent people to investigate. The Temple of the God of Fire has indeed suffered heavy casualties. What you said is true.”
After saying that, he turned to look at The World’s Greatest Sword Hero.
“You are a member of the Temple of the God of Fire, right? Did God Slayer help you solve the problem just now?”
“Ah… this…”
Facing the king’s questioning, The World’s Greatest Sword Hero’s nerves got the better of him and unable to speak.
Mike, on the other hand, smiled slightly and reminded him,
“The king is asking you a question.”
Hearing his master’s words, The World’s Greatest Sword Hero immediately came back to his senses and nodded stiffly.
The king saw everything.
However, he still did not say anything.
In the end, the king nodded and said,
“Since you have completed the mission that I gave you, then I can help you eliminate the bounty from Hero City.
“However, you still have to spend the necessary amount of money.
At this point, the king paused, and the corners of his eyes twitched,
“Your bounty in Hero City is 200,000 gold coins. As long as you pay these 200,000 gold coins, I can help you eliminate the bounty.”
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Mike’s eyes.
Meanwhile, the king avoided his gaze and looked very unnatural.
Mike smiled and said,
“In that case, thank you, Great King. I will remember your kindness.
“I will prepare the gold coins as soon as possible. Once I have gathered the money, I will immediately send them over.”
The king did not say anything and only nodded his head.
Mike then took his leave with The World’s Greatest Sword Hero.
Only after the two of them left did the king’s face turn solemn again.
The attendant knew that accompanying a king was equivalent to lying beside a tiger. He just stood there silently and sealed his lips shut.
..
After leaving the palace, The World’s Greatest Sword Hero could not help but click his tongue,
“So expensive. I didn’t know that 200,000 gold coins are needed to remove the bounty!
“At our place, we can buy a good farm with 200,000 gold coins.”
Mike smiled without saying anything.
It seemed simple just now, but a lot of things had happened.
First of all, the king must have known that he had killed all the NPCs in the Temple of the God of Fire.
This was evident from the expression on his face.
An adventurer killing all the NPCs in the Temple of the God of Fire was something that would be shocking to everyone.
