My Passive Skills are Invincible!

At the sight of the banner, Mike was slightly stunned.

Then he realized that it seemed that a soldier had sent back information from the battlefield.

Mike was very curious about what the soldier had said.

He walked into the city step by step. The NPCs in the city all looked at Mike with respect.

When he walked to the fountain square in the middle of the City of Light, the king was already there.

The king shouted loudly,

“Our hero is back, let’s cheer for him!”

“Wooooo!”

All the surrounding civilians cheered.

There were also many players in the middle, and they seemed to be very interested in this matter.

Looking at the enthusiastic reaction of the civilians, the king nodded his head in relief. He solemnly announced,

“This time, God Slayer has made a great contribution to protecting our country. I will give him a reward that will satisfy everyone!

“At the same time, in order to celebrate the victory of this war, the City of Light will begin a three-day carnival. All food and drinks in the city will be free of charge.

“Of course, the royal family will bear the bill. Please rest assured, shopkeepers.”

Hearing this news, everyone cheered once again.

The players’ eyes lit up.

All goods were free. To the NPCs, this was just a celebration.

However, to the players, this was an opportunity to stock up.

Sure enough, they would fill their warehouses to the brim. This way, they would not need to purchase these items for a long time.

When in combat mode, food and alcohol could replenish their HP and MP. This was very important to them.

Of course, the NPCs did not know about the players’ thoughts.

They only cared about God Slayer.

That was right, Mike’s human affinity had increased by 100, reaching 400!

As long as he obtained another 600, he could raise his human affinity to the level of fanatical faith.

It was very difficult for other players to increase in friendliness, especially the kind of friendliness that affected an entire race.

Generally speaking, it would only increase if one contributed to the entire race, though it would not increase by much.

On the other hand, Mike had done many great things.

He had protected the food source that everyone in the City of Light relied on to survive, recovered the missing princess, and won the war by himself.

These were all respectable deeds to the entire human race.

Of course, not only his friendliness, but Mike’s honor points had also increased by 100,000.

Including the honor points gained from killing the enemies in the war, it had only increased by more than 100,000.

However, the increase of more than 100,000 did not affect his overall status, because Mike’s honor points were still negative.

He was still a respected villain.

After saying what he needed to say, the king gave Mike a look — he wanted to talk to Mike alone.

Mike naturally saw this and immediately followed.

The two of them walked toward the palace step by step.

On the way, the two of them chatted casually, and Mike took the opportunity to ask a small question in his heart.

“How did you know that I would come in through this city gate?”

He was referring to the banner, which he was very curious about.

The king laughed and said,

“Every city gate has a banner, so you can see it regardless of how you enter the city.”

“No, no, no, you misunderstood, I mean…

“If I appear from the tavern…”

Players had hearthstones, so they could quickly return to the city through hearthstones.

This was very convenient for players, and the cooldown was only one hour.

Hearing this, the king laughed even more happily, but he did not say anything.

In the tavern.

Allen was still sitting in the corner drinking alone. Drunk as usual.

The bartender was still wiping the wine glass in his hand in front of the counter, and complained,

“Everyone went to welcome the hero. My pub’s business has deteriorated again.

“And this banner…”

The bartender raised his head to look at the red banner inside the pub and grumbled unhappily,

“This thing has ruined the atmosphere in my pub.”

That was right. If Mike had come to the pub through the hearthstone, he could still see the banner that the City of Light had set up to welcome him.

However, this banner was hung inside the tavern.

It had to be said that this design was quite meticulous, but unfortunately, Mike was unable to see it.

On the other side, Mike and the king had already walked up the stairs leading to the palace.

Compared to the streets, this place was much quieter. Commoners could not appear here.

The king also took this opportunity to chat about serious matters.

“God Slayer, what do you think we should do next?”

This was also the reason why he brought Mike here. He wanted to discuss with Mike the follow-up actions of this war.

Mike thought for a moment and said,

“I think it’s time for the war to end. There’s no need for us to fight back.

“In fact, regardless of whether we won or lost the war, the people will always be the ones suffering.”

Stone who was behind Mike jumped up and poked its head out,

“Yes, yes, it’s time to end it.”

The king looked at Mike in slight surprise.

He had never expected Mike to be an anti-war activist.

In fact, anyone would be surprised. An adventurer who massacred countless NPCs in Victory City was actually opposed to war.

It was very contradictory.

However, the king still nodded and said,

“I agree with your point of view. Our human’s combat strength does need some replenishing.”

At this point, he glanced at Mike with hidden bitterness.

‘If this guy had not killed so many people in Victory City, his combat strength would have been sufficient.’

Mike pretended not to see the king’s gaze and continued to walk.

The king sighed and said,

“If we continue to attack the Dwarves and Trolls, other races may also attack us. These are results that we can not bear.

“So, we should just end this way like this.

“However, since the Dwarves and Trolls initiated the war against us, the end of the war must be that they ask for peace.

“So I hope you can go as an envoy and discuss with them about the compensations for this war.”

Naturally, they had to pay since they had lost the war. War was just that simple and brutal.

A purple dialog box appeared in front of Mike.

[Accept mission: Negotiation]

Mike immediately chose “Yes”.

A new mission appeared in his mission box.

[Negotiation ]

[The war should be ended, but the compensation issue has not been settled yet. Please go to Crete City as an envoy and complete the negotiation.]

[Mission reward: decided upon the outcome of the negotiation.]

The reward for this mission was reasonable.

If Mike managed to gain a lot of benefits for the human camp, he would receive a very good reward.

If the benefits were small, the rewards would be small.

The mission, of course, was set up so that Mike could do his best to maximize the benefits of the negotiations.

The king asked,

“When are you going to leave?”

Mike smiled.

“Let’s do it now, while they’re still afraid of me.”
