Chapter 290 - Forgotten Matters (2/2)

“Jess? Why are you here?”

Mike looked at the young elf soldier in front of him and asked in surprise. That’s right, this was Jess, the guard who had dealt with Mike and Timus before. Jess looked at the two of them and was slightly stunned.

“Because of special circumstances, I was temporarily transferred to the Ancient City of War… wait, why should I answer your questions!”

Jess stopped halfway before he reacted. His eyes widened as he spoke.

“The elf race and the human race are currently in the midst of a war. The two of you humans should hurry up and leave this place. If the other elves see you, they might mistake you for human soldiers.”

Hearing this, Mike and Timus looked at each other. It seemed that this kid did not know that the war has ended. He also did not know that the war has ended because of the two people in front of him.

Knowing this, Mike smiled, “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine. I believe that if we didn’t do anything wrong, you elven soldiers wouldn’t ignore the law and make things difficult for us, right?

“Don’t you elves value the law a lot?”

Jess opened his mouth, but he could retort what Mike had said. Although it should be so, no one had any reason to make things difficult for them without committing a crime.

However, this was a period of war after all, and now was a special situation. How could the elf race let two humans into the city?

Although the young guard felt that what Mike said was wrong, he did not know how to refute it.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first. You can get back to work. Good luck.”

Mike waved his hand and was ready to leave.

However, Jess stopped them again.

“No, I can’t let you guys leave just like that.”

Jess subconsciously stopped them, but could not find a valid reason to do so.

He could only stammer as he spoke.

“I’m not sure what you guys are going to do. I can’t let you guys into the city at such a crucial time.”

Mike looked at the young elf soldier in front of him and frowned slightly as Jess continued on.

“But as you said, you didn’t commit a crime. I can’t just detain you like this, so…

“You have to tell me what you’re going to do in the city.”

Jess’s last sentence was very firm. Mike looked at the young elf soldier in front of him and sighed helplessly, “I know I could lie to you and go about my day… but I won’t.

“I also don’t want to tell you what we’re going to do as it’s a personal matter.”

Hearing this, Jace was slightly stunned. He never thought that the man named F*ck would be so direct and honest.

However, this answer was obviously not enough for Jace to let them in. For a moment, the young elf soldier was caught in a dilemma. On one side was the safety of the country and the people, and on the other side was the moral bottom line and the law that he had to uphold.

He did not know how to make a decision.

In the end, he hesitantly spoke, “It’s fine if you don’t want to say it, but I have to follow you. If you don’t agree, I won’t let you into the city even if you kill me.”

Hearing this, Mike looked deeply at the young soldier in front of him and nodded with a smile, “Okay, you can come with us.”

“Where are you going now?”

“We’re going to find the elven queen..”
