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

Mike asked in slight surprise. action

“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,

“I remember you said just now that you’ve brought the sheepskin scroll?”

Mike nodded, took out the sheepskin scroll from his system backpack, and respectfully handed it over.

Kordontimus took the sheepskin scroll, looked at it, and nodded.

“That’s right, this is indeed my handwriting.”

Mike slightly relaxed.

Since Kordontimus said so, it seemed that he had approved of this class change certificate.

However, in the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Kordontimus actually tore the sheepskin scroll into two on the spot and threw the scroll into the air.

A gust of wind blew, and the sheepskin scrolls that had been split into two were blown far away and fell into the valley.

Mike was stunned on the spot. He did not know what Kordontimus’s action meant.

However, Kordontimus smiled and asked,

“Now? Where is your sheepskin scroll?”

Mike pointed to the valley and said,

“You threw it down.”

“No, I didn’t throw it down.” Kordontimus continued to smile.

This time, Mike frowned.

“Have you forgotten? You did throw the sheepskin scroll down, and it was torn in half...”

“Do you have proof?” the smile on Kordontimus’s face intensified, and there was even a hint of slyness.

This time, Mike’s expression became dumbfounded.

He had never thought that an NPC would do such a thing.

While Mike was stunned, Kordontimus asked,

“If you were to encounter such a thing, what would you do?”

Only then did Mike come back to his senses.

Kordontimus seemed to have done this because he wanted to ask this question.

Or rather, he wanted to hear Mike’s answer.

Mike thought for a moment and answered honestly,

“I might kill this person.”

When Kordontimus heard this answer, he laughed out loud.

A moment later, he asked in return,

“If your strength is inferior to the other party, or rather, you are just an ordinary person, then what should you do?”

Mike opened his mouth but said nothing.

Indeed.

The reason why he had been able to settle scores in this life was entirely due to his SSS-grade talent skills and strength.

In his previous life, he had encountered countless situations like this.

There were many times in this world where things were not fair.

He knew this more than anyone else.

After activating his D-grade talent, he could not be compared to others in any aspect. He could only live in the most tiring, weakest, and most wronged way.

What would he do in his previous life after experiencing such a thing?

He would only swallow his anger and live on.

Because without strength, he could only be bullied.

He sighed and said,

“Mr. Kordontimus, I don’t know... I want to hear your answer.”

Stone, who had been silent all this while, also looked at Kordontimus.

It, who was simple-minded, also did not know the answer to this question.

If its strength was weak, but it had encountered such unfair treatment, what should it do?

Facing the gaze of the man and the tree, Kordontimus smiled and asked,

“If you don’t have strength, you can increase your strength.

“It’s that simple.”

Mike was slightly stunned and asked in puzzlement,

“Then what? After you obtain strength, do you kill the other party?”

“No.” Kordontimus shook his head.

“After you obtain strength, you can choose to become the person who is unfair to others.

“But you can also be the one who eliminates all injustice.

“That’s what power is for!”
