The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 77

77 Shopkeeper
As soon as the group of people entered the Evergreen Gang.

Just as they were about to tease the Evergreen Gang for being so clean.

However, they suddenly felt a cold sensation under their feet. Before they could react, they became ice sculptures.

An Kai walked out from the middle of the house, followed by Hanks and Frank, who was scared stiff by Reid.

Beside the human-shaped ice sculptures, Polpi was crawling on the ground, his body trembling slightly, not daring to raise his head.

“Is this the power of an Advanced Mage?”

Polpi was shocked. At this moment, other than shock, he didn’t have any other emotions.

An Kai calmly walked up to the group of human-shaped ice sculptures with his [Brute Force Staff] in hand.

With a light knock, a series of metal clanging sounds could be heard.

“Come here and tell me about their origins.”

He called out to Polpi, who was lying on the ground. Polpi quickly stood up, bowed his waist, and lowered his head. He came behind An Kai.

After confirming their identities according to the clothes of the ice sculptures, he told An Kai about their origins in a soft voice.

Every time he said the person came from outside the city, An Kai would break the ice sculpture without hesitation.

In an instant, ice shards scattered all over the ground.

Polpi swallowed hard and spoke more carefully.

However, seeing these powerful people being smashed into ice shards in front of him, Polpi felt a sense of satisfaction.

Not far behind An Kai, Hanks was confused.

He realized that An Kai had changed a lot.

He had to find a reason to kill someone.

In the past, he was not like this. If he killed, then he killed. What reason did he have to find?

There were no good people in Chaos City.

Not long after, the ice sculptures in the courtyard were all shattered by An Kai one by one.

In addition to the storage rings he had obtained from camping outside the city, he currently had a total of 14 storage rings.

Holding the storage rings in his hand, An Kai frowned after sensing it.

The nine storage rings in his hand added up to only 108 gold coins. He also had three sets of Stage 2 Profession Skill books, and they were all for a relatively ordinary class-like warrior.

Perhaps they felt that it was too shabby to only store these things in the storage rings, as the nine storage rings were filled with fresh beast meat.

“Polpi, are the so-called top ten sects that poor?”

The storage ring of the leader of the Evergreen Gang was the same. There were only a few gold coins and fresh meat.

These things did not meet An Kai’s expectations at all.

“My Lord. When we cut off contact with the inner city, we were already looted.

“The four sects in the city were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. They were all plundered. These gold coins were taken from others.

“Other than the residents in the city who still have some resources, the four sects are already clean.”

Polpi lowered his head and looked at his toes as he explained to An Kai.

After a moment of silence, An Kai asked Hanks, “How long do you think it’ll take to search the current inner city.”

Hanks pondered for a few seconds. “One or two months.”
“So long?”

“One or two months is still too little. Chaos City is so big, it’s not easy to completely plunder everything.”

Hanks was a spy from the seven kingdoms, so his analysis was quite reliable.

“90%.” An Kai tried to offer his price.

Hanks refused without hesitation.

“Twenty-eighty!”

“Good! Deal!”

An Kai’s straightforwardness gave Hanks the wrong impression. Would An Kai agree if he asked for another price?

“If there’s anything that can’t be resolved, go to the entrance of the city and shout the slogan between the two of us. Then, I’ll make my move.

“Clean up the city and find the resources of the remaining three sects.

“I’ll leave the rest to you. Just do as we agreed.”

After giving his instructions, An Kai turned around and left.

He was prepared to go into seclusion. The desert was becoming more and more chaotic, so he should use all his time to increase his strength.

An Kai wasn’t worried that Hanks would trick him about the distribution of the loot.

It wasn’t because he trusted Hanks, but because An Kai would not only conduct random checks and comparisons in the final results, he would also conduct a thorough inspection.

He wanted to make sure that Hanks didn’t fool him.

An Kai people walked to the entrance of the Evergreen Gang’s encampment.

Hanks suddenly asked from behind,” What should we do if we encounter someone who doesn’t cooperate?”

This kind of stupid question made An Kai stop in his tracks. He replied without turning his head, “We’re robbers, and you’re asking me what to do? Can’t you kill them?”

An Kai did not stop walking.

“Don’t you need a reason?”

Hanks did not seem to understand and continued to ask An Kai.

“You’re old and muddle-headed!

“Why are you so wishy-washy killing someone at Chaos City?”

After scolding him in disdain, An Kai waved his hand and walked towards the entrance of Chaotic City.

Watching An Kai leave, Hanks wanted to say, “Didn’t I learn this from you?”

However, he was afraid that An Kai would be unhappy if he heard it, so he kept it in his heart and did not say it.

Hanks knew what this kid was planning.

An Kai pretended to trust him, but he’d conduct checks in the end.

But Hanks wasn’t worried about a spot check because he didn’t plan to scam An Kai.

After An Kai obtained the resources, he would definitely exchange them for magic stones.

At that time, it would be his home ground.

He kept calling him “Little Master”, and he listened to An Kai. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to take advantage of the exchange later on, right?

Hanks couldn’t help but laugh at the thought.

After spending so many years together, he had long figured out how to get along with An Kai.

After all, he was a young man who liked to be flattered.

Straightening his back, he looked at Polpi, who was hunched over and did not dare to raise his head.

“You are now the vice city lord of Chaos City.”

Polpi was stunned, not understanding what this meant.

“Vice City Lord, I’ve arranged for you to do something now.

“Gather 100 adventurers and bring them here.

“Also, kidnap that damn detector merchant!”

After that, Hanks waved his hand, signalling Polpi to leave.

As for him, he snorted lightly and came in front of Reid.

“From now on, you are the city lord.

“Tell the residents of chaos city that we haven’t cut off contact with the inner city. The inner city has always protected us!

“However, the rules have changed. Everyone needs to pay five gold coins to enjoy protection. If they don’t have gold coins, they can use other things to replace them.

“When your vice city lord returns, you and he will go and do this together. Give me a list of those who don’t abide by the rules.

“Alright, don’t return to the Evergreen Gang unless you have something important to do.”

Hanks chuckled and walked towards Widow Wang’s room.

Reid, who was left standing on the spot, said in a daze, “Did I become the City Lord just like that?”

.

Chaos City outside, entrance.

In a courtyard only 20 meters away from the entrance.

It was cleaned up by An Kai.

This was the temporary seclusion place he had prepared for himself.

By blocking the entrance, not only could he escape at any time, but he could also observe if others escaped from chaos city.

After all, this small courtyard had two floors. Being on the second floor, he could see the movements at the entrance.

He took out the beast meat from his storage ring. After it was processed by the Beast Meat Refining Platform, An Kai began his seclusion.
