[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.”
