Chapter 244 - Mike’s Theory of Coincidence
After seeing the system notification, Mike quickly took out his magic sword to block the attack.
When the magic sword was unsheathed, the demon eye opened after having been asleep for a long time.
The clash of the two alien weapons made both the magic sword and the evil blade extremely excited.
Zakaithus looked at the magic sword in Mike’s hand.
He suddenly stopped attacking.
He asked.
“Are you one of Kamps’ people?”
Mike saw that Zakaithus had suddenly become respectful, so he asked, “Why do you say that?”
Zakaithus was first stunned, then he said.
“My guess is that you are one of Kamps’ people judging by the weapon in your hand. May I know why you are here so late at night? Please enlighten me.”
Seeing that Zakaithus had changed his attitude, Mike said, “Of course. I’m here to see how far you’ve progressed!”
Hearing Mike’s words, Zakaithus immediately knelt down and spoke.
“I didn’t know that you were one of Kamps’ men. I was rude just now. Please don’t take it to heart, sir.”
Seeing that assuming the identity of one of Kamps’ men was so useful, Mike pretended to come to the sofa and slowly sat down.
“Tell me, how far have you guys progressed?”
Zakaithus turned in Mike’s direction and said in a low voice.
“In answer to Your Excellency, we have already spread all our spies throughout the entire Royal City of Romon. We expect to take it within a week.”
“When Kamps sends out a few exotic beasts to assist in the attack, we will be able to take down the Royal City within a few days.”
“When I take down the Royal City, after a few days of adjustment, I’ll be able to mount a horse to attack other cities. By that time, the entire Lieluo Empire will be in my pocket!”
At this moment, Zakaithus raised his head to look at Mike and said with a smile.
“When our plan succeeds, I’ll definitely not forget the kindness of Kamps!”
“Sir, I hope that you can help me put in a few good words before his Highness, Kamps, when we return.”
Hearing this, Mike finally understood.
Mike knew about Kamps. After all, he had fought with him before.
Therefore, Mike could only continue to listen to what Zakaithus had to say.
“As long as you can do a good job, I will definitely put in a good word to his Highness when I get back.”
Mike looked at the evil blade in Zakaithus’ hand, and a bold idea instantly came to his mind.
“Hey, Zakaithus!”
Mike looked at Zakaithus who was half-kneeling on the ground and said, “I see that your evil blade seems to have some defect!”
Hearing this, Zakaithus said in puzzlement.
“Sir, I don’t know how you saw through the defects of this evil blade, but I hope you can give me some advice.”
Zakaithus then presented the evil blade with both hands.
Mike took the evil blade, and the magic sword collided with Zakaithus’ blade without him noticing.
“I wonder if this move will work.”
Mike thought.
Suddenly, the evil energy that had erupted from the evil blade earlier suddenly decreased a little.
Mike held the hilt of the evil blade with one hand and stroked the blade of the evil blade with the other.
However, Mike continued to speak leisurely.
“It seems that the power of this evil blade hasn’t been fully unleashed yet!”
Mike handed the evil blade back to Zakaithus.
When Zakaithus received the evil blade, he could clearly feel that the killing intent emitted by the evil blade had been greatly reduced.
“Ah! Sir, why has this evil blade suddenly become like this?”
Mike saw that Zakaithus had really fallen into his trap, so he smiled lightly and continued.
“The material of your evil blade is completely inferior to this sword of mine, which is why it is as you see it now.
“I have a method here that can help you raise the quality of this evil blade to another level.”
As Mike was saying this, Zakaithus, who heard this, came forward respectfully.
“Is that so? I hope you can give me some pointers, sir!”
Zakaithus once again offered the evil blade with both hands.
Mike took the evil blade and pretended to cast a spell on the evil blade.
This time, he quietly put away his magic sword.
Although the quality of the magic sword and the evil blade were the same, the quality of the magic sword was still slightly higher than the evil blade.
The defection effect of the magic sword could also slightly affect the power of the evil blade.
However, this time, the magic sword had been put away by Mike.
Then, the negative effect of defection on the evil blade had been eliminated.
Once again, he returned to his original state.
Mike pretended to cast a spell.
In the palm of his hand, black flames under the control of the fireball spell appeared.
Now, Mike could not only flexibly control the power of the fireball spell, but also freely control the color of the fireball spell to change it.
On the ground, Zakaithus looked in disbelief at Mike who was putting on a performance in front of him.
He could not help but exclaim in surprise.
“This is expected of someone from Kamps!”
When Mike saw that his performance was almost done, he returned the evil blade to Zakaithus again.
“Now, see if the power of this evil blade has increased by a lot?”
Zakaithus took the evil blade and clearly felt waves of killing intent from the evil blade again.
As he looked at it in his hand, he could not help but sigh.
“Indeed, sir, you are really good. You were able to increase the power of this evil blade in such a short period of time! I’m afraid even the gods would not be able to do it!”
Seeing that Zakaithus had already taken the bait and believed it without a doubt, Mike secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Then, Mike continued to speak.
“Although the power of this evil blade has increased, that flaw has yet to be resolved.”
Mike deliberately held back. Seeing that Zakaithus was looking at him with some confusion, Mike continued with a smile.
“If you trust me, I will bring this evil blade to Kamps and use rare materials. Together with my quenching and refining methods, I will guarantee that the quality of your evil blade will be raised to a whole new level. How about it?”
When he heard that Mike was going to take away his evil blade, a trace of doubt appeared in Zakaithus’ heart.
So he said, “Thank you for your good intentions, sir. It’s just that we’ve only just met. I wonder why you want to help me, sir?”
Seeing that Zakaithus seemed to suddenly have a brain.
Mike’s palms started to sweat. With Mike’s current strength, he still could not figure out if he had the strength to defeat Zakaithus yet.
If he died here by accident, it would really be a loss.
Mike paused for a moment and then said, “Why should I help you? How could you not know?”
Mike took a risk and deliberately threw the question back towards Zakaithus.
Zakaithus looked into Mike’s eyes and suddenly burst out into laughter.
He said, “My lord, could it be that you have taken a fancy to my identity as the future king and want to make it easier for you in the Lieluo Empire in the future?”
Hearing Zakaithus’ words, the earlier tense atmosphere had now instantly eased.
Mike saw that Zakaithus had actually started to imagine the days when he would be the king in the future, so he continued to followed this track.
“That’s right! Having more friends means more paths. If I can make friends with the future king, I think it’ll be worth it, no matter what.”
Mike said with a smile.
“Okay!”
