Chapter 315: A Feast
Looking at the mission at hand, Mike was very excited. The mission was full of question marks that represented the content being unknown, and the mission reward had question marks that represented the unknown.
The reason for all the mystery was because that this mission was not triggered in a conventional way.
Perhaps even the bartender himself did not know how Mike was going to testify for him.
Mike was curious as to what kind of reward the mission would give him. So, he immediately decided to use the Space Travel Bracelet to teleport. He took Stone and Egg to the elf city to find Lady Nikorei.
However, Egg seemed to sense something and rubbed against Mike’s leg. When that happened, Mike could also sense Egg’s thoughts.
Obviously, Egg remembered that Mike had just said that he would take him to eat something delicious. Looking at Egg’s innocent and pure face, Mike smiled helplessly and said, “Alright, let’s put the mission aside for now. Let’s go get something delicious to eat.”
After listening to Mike’s reply, Egg once again danced happily.
When the players and NPCs on the road saw this scene, they had already gathered around. When many female players saw the cute appearance of the tiny dragon, they had already revealed an expression that was filled with motherly love.
As for the male players, they were more concerned about the race of the egg.
“Oh my gosh, is this a dragon?”
“I think so. It is indeed a dragon.”
“We’re still working hard to even get good equipment. I didn’t expect God Slayer to have captured a dragon as a pet.”
“Although it is only a baby dragon, I must admit that I am very envious.”
Under the gaze of countless players, Mike directly left with Egg and Stone. To Mike, these guys had nothing to do with him. When necessary, he might have contact with them, such as during the war against the elves. Other times, they were just passers-by. There was no need to explain too much to them.
After passing through the street, Mike arrived at the palace. Although players could not easily get close to this place, the guards in front of the entrance seemed to have gotten used to the appearance of Mike. However, every time Mike appeared, they would subconsciously get nervous because of their past impression. This was because this adventurer commander always came to the palace with no good news.
This time, it looked to be even more ridiculous. He actually brought a baby dragon with him.
“Commander, may I ask who this is…”
“This is my pet.”
Mike only gave a brief explanation before passing through the two guards and walked past them to go up the stairs.
The small tree spirit, Stone, and the baby dragon, Egg followed closely behind Mike and jumped up the stairs one step at a time.
The two guards looked at each other when they saw this scene and chose to tacitly shut up. This kind of big shot was obviously not someone they could control.
As it took a long time to get up the stairs for Stone and Egg, Mike had to slow his pace up the stairs. However, Mike did not rush them, nor did he use the Space travel Bracelet too frequently. He did not mind walking for a short distance.
After arriving at the palace, Mike looked at the empty hall and shouted, “Harvey? Is Harvey here?”
When the attendants heard Mike’s shout, they all lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
This was not the first time such a thing had happened, so they were not so surprised anymore.
Soon, King Harvey walked out of the inner hall with a bitter expression on his face.
“I say, can you stop calling me Harvey?”
“Okay, Harvey. No problem, Harvey. By the way, the war seems to have ended. Where’s my reward?”
Harvey looked at Mike as if he was an annoying pest, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Why does this kid constantly bring up this topic…
“Your reward is naturally not small. I’ve heard that many foreign adventurers have joined our side because of your reputation. You’ve contributed a lot to this war.”
When Mike heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face.
He had clearly not fought in the war, but he’s receiving the greatest credit?
He had even killed a group of players who were about to join the human camp… No, no, no, they were spies sent by the elf race…
It seemed that the greatest credit was not a problem.
Mike coughed twice, “I was wondering if the reward could be changed to something more tangible?”
Harvey was slightly stunned. “Something tangible? What do you mean?”
Mike pointed at Egg and said, “This is my pet. It’s a money dragon. It needs to eat some gold coins.”
Hearing this, Harvey noticed that there was a baby dragon that closely followed behind Mike.
This was very impressive indeed. In the eyes of the players, there were dragons in almost all kinds of games. Although the players would be surprised and envious, they would not be too shocked. For them, however, this was not a small matter.
To have a legendary creature as a pet was something that they did not dare to think about.
Only adventurers could do such an incredible thing.
Harvey swallowed his saliva and eyed the dragon. Then, he spoke, “Since you’re the Commander of the Adventurer Legion, it’s only right to give you some rewards. I really didn’t expect, however, that you could even adopt a dragon. This is… really unbelievable. Alright, I’ll get someone to bring a box of gold coins over. Please wait a moment.”
However, Mike waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just bring me to the vault. After all, I have other things to do.”
Harvey thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “That’s fine. After all, you’ve made such a great contribution. It’s not appropriate to only reward a box of gold coins. I’ll let you bring your pet to retrieve the rewards yourself. This little guy can eat as much as he wants.”
After all, in the eyes of the NPCs, adventurers were very busy, and they liked to do everything by themselves.
It did not matter even if Mike went to the vault to get it himself. After all, it was just a baby dragon.
How many gold coins could a baby dragon take away?
After all, its body was only that small. One box of gold coins was probably enough.
Harvey casually found an attendant to lead Mike to the vault.
Meanwhile, Harvey returned to the inner hall. No one knew what he was doing in the inner hall every day, and Mike did not care about that at all. He just wanted his pet dragon to have a good meal. After all, if the money dragon wanted to improve its strength, it had a lot to do with eating treasures.
The more it ate, the faster it grew.
Looking at Harvey’s back as he left, Mike grinned, “Don’t worry, Egg is still small. It’ll only eat a little bit.”
Seeing Mike’s smile, the attendant could not help but shiver. He could sense that something unimaginable was about to happen.
…
In front of the huge golden door, three heavy golden locks were placed in the middle of the door.
Mike raised his head and looked at the twenty-yard-tall door. He could not help but sigh, “Even the door is so big. I’ve got a feeling that there’s going to be a lot of treasures in this vault.”
The attendant nodded and spoke respectfully,
“Indeed. All the treasures of the royal family will be placed here, regardless of whether it is the taxes of the cities or the spoils of war. There is no exception.
“It is solely because of this place that our human cities could flourish so well!”
As he said these words, there seemed to be a hint of pride in his tone.
At this moment, the attendant had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter.
