“Are you saying that if I cut off those thorns, I would have been driven away instead?”

Mike asked in slight surprise.

“That’s right,” the old man smiled.

Mike could not help but look at Stone. They both saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

Mike had never thought that the decision he made to take care of his friend’s emotions would actually help him.

If it were not for Stone, he would have lost the chance to become an apprentice.

“Force is never a tool to kill. On the contrary, force is a shield to protect.”

The old man slowly said.

Hearing this, Mike’s eyes lit up as he recalled the words on the sheepskin scroll.

“Sometimes war is for peace, but it also dispels peace.”

“Power never exists for the sake of killing.”

“Protection is always stronger than plunder.”

“Learning all the weapons in the world so that there will be no more weapons in the world.”

This was clearly the best hint.

Mike closed his eyes gently and took a deep breath.

The old man just looked at him with a smile and let Mike comprehend the words on the sheepskin scroll.

After a long time, Mike opened his eyes again.

“May I know your name is…”

The old man smiled and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

“My name Is…

“Kordontimus!”

At this moment, the whole world seemed to have quieted down.

Everything paled in comparison to the old man.

Mike was greatly shocked.

He had played Second World for 30 years and lived for more than 40 years. He had never seen anyone with a temperament like Kordontimus.

It was as if… he was a god!

The old man looked at Mike and smiled.

“Is your name God Slayer?

“You want to kill a god? Interesting.”

Mike did not say anything. This ID was just something he casually picked out. At first, he did not think that he would become so strong. Killing a god was just a joke.

However, Kordontimus did not dwell on it.

He looked at Mike and asked,

“Did you come here to learn how to use weapons?”

“That’s right.” Mike bowed again.

He had never admired a person so much, even if the person was just an NPC.

Kordontimus asked again,

“Why did you learn how to use weapons?

“Money? Power? Killing?”

Mike was silent for a moment.

“Money, power, and killing. If that’s the reason, I can do it with my current strength.

“I came to you to become stronger.”

Mike was telling the truth.

Whether it was the gold coins in Second World or the federation coins in the real world, he could easily obtain them.

As for power, he was already a Commander in the City of Light.

If he wanted to, he could even directly exterminate the Evil God Cult and become the baron of Victory City.

Or he could continue to serve the Evil God Cult and get promoted.

For him, it was very easy to obtain whatever he wanted.

He came here just to become stronger.

If he really wanted to talk about his goal…

Perhaps the ID that he had set as a joke was his subconscious goal.

After all, before the great war in ten years’ time, he had to obtain enough power to slaughter gods in order to avoid the fate of the real world being destroyed.

Power had always been the most important thing.

Kordontimus could tell that Mike was not lying.

He frowned slightly and asked,
