The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 74

74 The Kind An Kai
“A spy from the seven kingdoms, including the Shaq Kingdom?”

“Including…” Hanks smiled sheepishly. Speaking of which, the Mage Tower mission was a mission given to him by the Kingdom of Shaq.

Just because of some… accidents, the result did not meet the expectations of the Kingdom of Shaq. There was nothing he could do, as the other countries had offered higher bids.

This was also Hanks’ principle as a spy of the Seven Kingdoms. He was the spy for whoever paid the most money.

An Kai looked at Hanks, who was hunched over and looked old. He had an intuition.

Being a spy was not everything Hanks did.

He had a feeling that Hanks had something he still hid from him.

However, looking at the old man’s appearance, he could not get anything useful out of him even if he continued to ask.

“I couldn’t tell that you had such an identity.

“In that case, the reason why the Kingdom of Shaq wanted you wasn’t because I gave you a fake envelope, right?”

Hanks chuckled. “It’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about the past.”

Looking at Hanks, who was smiling foolishly, An Kai was very satisfied. He felt that Hanks was more suitable for his plan.

“Hanks, as a spy of the seven kingdoms, do you even know seven languages?”

“Actually, you don’t have to have such knowledge. You just need to know the language of the Kingdom of Shaq and the common language of the continent.”

“Oh? So, are you proficient in the language of Shaq?”

“Of course!”

An Kai smiled and patted Hanks’ shoulder. “Very good, Hanks. I knew you were extremely intelligent.

“I have an idea that I want your opinion on.

“In this chaotic city, you brought Widow Wang.”

“Cough cough. An Kai, I didn’t mean to interrupt you. What I wanted to say was, she… She’s not a widow anymore.”

An Kai paused and looked at Hanks’ sweet face. He felt like he had been fed dog food.

Forcefully suppressing his impatience, he continued, “Bringing her here is too dangerous.

“Coincidentally, you also know that I, An Kai, am the most loyal. You, Hanks, are my friend. How can I see you in danger?

“Follow me, and I’ll help you take down Chaos City. When the time comes, you can sit on the throne of the city.

“How is it? From being a vagrant to being the lord of a city, isn’t that very nice?”

Hanks wanted to refuse without thinking.

He wasn’t a fool. Whoever became the lord of the outer city would be targeted by the inner city lord and the orcs.

Especially the chaos city leader, who was famous for being narrow-minded.

Hanks had no doubt that after the inner city and the orcs were done fighting, the Lord of Chaos City would definitely be the first to kill him.

“Hanks, you know that I hate it when people reject me. Think about it carefully. Don’t worry, we won’t stay here for too long.

“After plundering for a while, we’ll go our separate ways.”

An Kai held the [Brute Force Staff] and shook it up and down in his hand.

Indeed, he wouldn’t stay too long outside the chaos city. After he was done looting, he would leave.

He would go to the Mage Tower and cultivate in seclusion until he met the requirements to own a Mage Tower.

Seeing An Kai’s stance, Hanks rolled his eyes and had another good idea in his mind.
Since An Kai wanted him to be the damn city lord, could he arrange for Reid to be the city lord?

Hanks thought it was feasible!

“An Kai. I’m not rejecting you. You know that I’m not alone and have a family.”

“Tell me, what do you think?”

“I will provide one of my own to be the City Lord and 2400 gold coins.”

“Alright,” An Kai thought for a moment.

Such a huge chaos city. After plundering it, its value would definitely exceed 2400 gold coins.

As for who the ” one of my own ” was, An Kai estimated that this person would most likely be Reid.

Besides, An Kai had no intention of getting the 2400 gold coins Hanks had offered for saving their lives.

He and Hanks had been friends for so many years. They knew each other.

He was still counting on Hanks to exchange gold coins for magic Stones.

There was no need to throw away the useful connection.

Of course, if the Chaos City were not worth 2400 gold coins, then he would have to talk to Hanks.

.

Guarding the entrance of Chaos City for the first night.

An Kai did not see any adventurers running out.

In the afternoon, under the shocked gazes of Hanks and Widow Wang, he summoned the [Guardian Tree Demon].

He jumped into the crown of the [Guardian Tree Demon] and used Frost to create a bed for himself. He then lay down comfortably on it.

Hanks and Widow Wang, who were sitting next to each other, were envious.

.

The next day, dawn.

Just as An Kai was waiting in boredom, a figure rushed out of Chaos City.

His expression was nervous as he looked behind him from time to time.

Seeing him, An Kai smiled.

With a thought, the [Guardian Tree Demon] flashed and disappeared.

It jumped out of the sand dune and charged straight at the unlucky fellow.

Not long after.

The [Guardian Tree Demon] returned to An Kai with a storage ring. Other than some scratches on its body, it was unharmed.

This scene made Hanks extremely envious.

” As expected of the number one profession in the world.

“I just don’t know if this kid is an [Elementalist] or some other mage class.”

An Kai took the storage ring and put it away. He praised, “Well done.”

Widow Wang, who was leaning on Hanks’ shoulder, couldn’t help but say, “See, I told you little An Kai… was kind, right?”

Hanks smiled and nodded. He did not choose to argue with Widow Wang because he knew that he would lose no matter what.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.

In Chaos City, another Stage two adventurer ran out. An Kai, who was guarding outside, commanded the [Guardian Tree Demon] to easily deal with him.

Taking the storage ring from the tree crown, An Kai nodded with a smile and continued to praise, “Well done.”

This scene made Widow Wang raise her eyebrows at Hanks, who was beside her, as if she was saying, “See, I told you he was good.”

Before Widow Wang’s eyebrows could return to their original position, An Kai held the [Brute Force Staff] and stabbed it into the centre of the [Guardian Tree Demon]’s torso.

At this point,[Guardian Tree Demon] died.

Then, he skillfully dug the staff in and fumbled around, taking out the monster core.

He put away the grade 2 magic core of the [Guardian Tree Demon], and the Fireball floated in his hand, burning the [Guardian Tree Demon] to ashes.

He used [Summon] again, and a brand new [Guardian Tree Demon] appeared.

Not far away, Hanks looked at Widow Wang and said nothing. Silence was his answer.

.

Night fell.

Within Chaos City, four figures ran out.

The [Guardian Tree Demon] beside An Kai was about to rush forward to deal with them, but he was stopped by An Kai.

Reid and the other three were injured as they ran towards the back of the sand dune.
