The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 72

72 The Quickest Way to Get Rich
It was a little awkward to meet again.

Of course.

This was awkward for Hanks and the others.

An Kai was not embarrassed at all.

He used the [Mask of the Pretender] to change his appearance into an old man.

He could vaguely make out Hanks’ face.

“How is it? Hanks, I’m imitating your father’s face.”

Hanks put down Widow Wang and let her stand behind him, just enough to cover his back, which was burned by the aftershock of the fireball.

Hearing An Kai’s words, Hanks looked at An Kai’s face carefully. After pondering for a few seconds, he shook his head. “It doesn’t seem like it. My dead father isn’t that kind.”

Hanks and An Kai met up about 100 meters away from the entrance of the Chaos City, but there was no one there.

Especially at the entrance of Chaos City, those guys who were stopped by the [Heavy Armor] Warrior.

When the [Fireball] appeared, they swarmed up and killed a guard left behind by the [Heavy Armor] warrior. Then, they rushed into the Chaos City.

The arrival of these outsiders disturbed the peaceful life of chaos city.

Burning, killing, and looting became common.

They more or less knew about the situation in Chaos City and were adventurers who came from the surrounding countries.

Just like Hanks, they thought that with their Stage 2 strength, they could do whatever they wanted inside the city.

Who knew that they would encounter the Stage 3 [Heavy Armor] warrior as soon as they arrived? Not only were they blocked at the entrance of the Chaotic City, but they were also asked to pay the entrance fee.

Fortunately, the mage descended from the sky and killed the Stage 3 [Heavy Armor] warrior, giving them a chance to enter the city.

These people’s thoughts were very simple. They wanted to plunder as much as they could before An Kai really entered the city.

Otherwise, when An Kai entered the city, they would not have a share.

Coincidentally, An Kai didn’t have any intention of entering the city now.

He called out to Reid and the others, who were covered in black stains. “Enter the city and tell me the distribution of strength within a day.”

As he spoke, white smoke came out of his mouth.

Reid and the other three turned around and left, heading towards Chaos City.

This calamity was personally created by An Kai.

When they heard An Kai’s instructions, the four of them agreed immediately.

They didn’t even have the thought of reporting to Hanks and directly walked towards Chaos City.

Hanks cursed as he watched Reid and the others leave. “Traitors!

“An Kai. Little Master, are we not going?”

Hearing Hanks’ question, An Kai looked at Hanks with confusion.

He was thinking, ‘When did this old thing become so stupid?

‘Alzheimer’s disease?’

All of a sudden, An Kai felt that Hanks was not the best candidate for his plan to take over Chaos City.

An Kai didn’t respond to this silly question. His expression was the best response to Hanks.

The city was currently in chaos. The adventurers from outside wanted to take the opportunity to gain some benefits.
An Kai didn’t think it mattered. He had two reasons for not entering the city.

First, it was to prevent the city from having any backup plans left behind.

Secondly, how could plundering be faster than snatching?

Those foreign adventurers would have to leave the entrance after they were done plundering.

As long as An Kai waited there, he could catch all the people who wanted to leave.

He would use his personal experience to teach them that in the desert, the fastest way to get rich was to consume others.

Of course, tuition fees could be their life.

Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, it was not a good time to enter the city.

Perhaps he knew that his question was too idiotic.

Hanks smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Hanks’ state of mind changed after this reunion.

His strength was at Stage 3 Rank 2, but on the surface, he appeared to be in Stage 2. He originally thought that he could still suppress An Kai.

Looking at it now, he felt that his strength was not enough.

No matter how one looked at it, An Kai could easily crush him.

Therefore, the difference in strength made him a little cautious when dealing with An Kai.

And by blocking Widow Wang behind him, he meant that he would not let Widow Wang speak carelessly, especially when she called An Kai “An Kai brat” like before.

At this moment, Widow Wang was also tactful. She stood behind Hanks, lowered her head, and did not say a word.

“Old thing, why are you back?

“I thought the next time we met was at your funeral.”

An Kai spoke honestly, but Hanks didn’t know how to respond. In the end, he smiled awkwardly and said, “I was prepared to die of old age in Noya Dukedom, but in the end, I learned that the inner and outer cities of chaos city had cut off contact.

“I wanted to give her a life where she doesn’t have to suffer, so I returned to Chaos City.”

Looking at Hanks’s mushy expression, An Kai regretted his question.

He didn’t expect Hanks to be interested in Widow Wang. He had been keeping her by his side for so many years.

Now, he had to use his life to give Widow Wang a life without suffering.

He wondered what kind of drug Widow Wang had given Hanks.

An Kai pursed his lips, feeling rather bored.

“2400 gold coins for 2400 magic stones. I want it tomorrow, don’t forget.”

After saying that, An Kai walked to the side and lay in the desert in boredom, waiting for someone to run out of the Chaos City.

There was only one exit in Chaos City; the other exits had long been blocked by the former city lord.

When An Kai walked to the side, Widow Wang’s magic wave flashed, and a new set of clothes appeared. Hanks quickly changed into the new clothes under Widow Wang’s service.

An Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed Widow Wang’s strength. Apprentice Mage.

Widow Wang whispered something in Hanks’ ear. Hanks smiled and walked toward An Kai.

Coincidentally, An Kai heard Widow Wang’s muttering clearly.

He also showed a hint of interest. When Hanks walked over, he said, “Just say it, I’m interested.”

Hanks was stunned. Then, he thought of An Kai’s terrifying strength and felt that this was normal.

As for An Kai’s strength, Hanks was too lazy even to take out the detector. Without looking, it was definitely a Stage 1 Rank 1.

After a few seconds, Hanks slowly said, “I have some ideas about the gathering of the orcs in the desert. I’ll tell you now.

“An Kai, do you know how many continents there are in our world?”

“How many? One?” An Kai replied tentatively. He wasn’t talking nonsense because, in his memories of his previous life, there was indeed only one continent.

In addition, there had never been a mention of a continent in the side quest, so he silently believed that there was only one continent here, just like in his previous life.

Hanks shook his head, and a surge of confidence surged in his heart. He said softly, “No, there are five continents.”

Hanks was still missing a pair of glasses. With a pair of glasses, he looked like a typical old scholar.

“Five continents?”

An Kai sat up straight. “Continue.”
