The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 97

97 I Think I Saw Your Father
An Kai did not give up on the idea of killing Wayne.

Because in his mind, only the dead were the safest.

It was not until Wayne said that he had analyzed [Wind Blade] to such an extreme that he paused.

An Kai confirmed that this guy was either crazy or extremely talented.

He temporarily cancelled the idea of killing Wayne and prepared to see how Wayne would acknowledge him as his master.

If he could ensure that the Stage 5 assassin was sincere in being his guardian and that Wayne was sincere in becoming his disciple, An Kai decided to let Wayne off this once.

This kind of talent was too important to him.

If Wayne could analyze Wind Blade today, would he be able to analyze other spells tomorrow?

If he was given enough time?

An Kai smiled.

However, there was no change in his expression. He said coldly,

“Take me as your master? Why should I believe you and that guy?”

Holding the ice blade, An Kai did not let his guard down.

Hearing this, Wayne looked at Mason and said softly, “Help me take that out.”

Mason was stunned. “Your Highness… Please think twice!”

” I’ve thought it through. I see hope in becoming a Scholar from my teacher. If I miss this chance, there’ll be no more hope.”

Hearing Wayne mention the [Scholar] profession, Mason was speechless.

[Scholar] was the same as [Wanderer]. They were both professions that were given by chance. There was no fixed inheritance ceremony.

If [Wanderers] represented pure good people, then [Scholars] represented pure academics.

There was no limit to the research direction of a Scholar. Today, they might be studying high-level spells and so on, and tomorrow, they might be studying what it felt like to eat meat.

It was also because of this kind of knowledge that every [Scholar] profession was as precious as a national treasure.

This was because the Scholar class had a special characteristic. Whenever they studied a topic, they would definitely come up with a result.

It was also because of this characteristic that their research findings could often change the development of a country.

Just like how Wayne was now studying how to analyze high-level spells to the point that apprentice mages could also use them.

If the research were successful, it would be another way for apprentice mages to increase their strength.

And this was still before Wayne stepped into the [Scholar] class. If he successfully stepped into it, Wayne might be able to study second-tier, third-tier, or even higher-tier spells and analyze them to the point where they could be used by apprentice mages.

At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that all the mages in the world would receive a substantial increase in strength because of this research.

It was also after Wayne mentioned [Scholar] that An Kai suddenly understood why this guy wanted to acknowledge him as his master and why he asked him what spell his ice blade was formed from.

Recalling the introduction of [Scholar] in his previous life and Wayne’s condition, An Kai understood.

This guy was going through the final step of becoming a Scholar.

Wayne, on the other hand, chose to analyze spells and break through the level limit for himself to successfully advance to a Scholar.

It was also from this moment that An Kai no longer had any killing intent towards Wayne.

If he kept this kind of precious talent under his control, he would have an endless stream of spells and all kinds of research inventions.

If they were to sell it, how much would they sell it for!

“Mason, give it to me.”

Wayne, who was controlled by An Kai with an ice blade, said firmly. Mason couldn’t persuade him. In the end, he sighed and threw a bright golden scroll in An Kai’s direction.
[Contract Scroll: Level 0]

[Rarity: None]

[Remark: The contract cannot be violated. If you violate it, you will receive supreme punishment from the supreme-ruler of Contract!]

The scroll’s system information appeared in front of An Kai.

He did not expect Wayne to have such a thing.

[Contract Scroll], he had used it in his previous life.

That time, it was taken out by the NPC when he had a fortuitous encounter with the NPC.

Under the attention of the supreme-ruler of Contract, the two of them signed a contract to work together in the adventure.

However, the reward was too generous. The NPC suddenly went back on his word and attacked An Kai. Before An Kai could be attacked, the NPC was killed by a nameless wave.

Therefore, when the [Contract Scroll] appeared, An Kai was completely relieved.

He loosened the ice blade in his hand slightly, and Wayne signed the agreement to be his disciple on the [Contract Scroll], as well as the contract to make Mason An Kai’s guardian.

Wayne signed his name, and Mason signed it with a sigh. In the end, he handed it to An Kai.

After checking it three times, he confirmed that there was no mistake with the agreement.

An Kai signed his name.

As he signed, the scroll turned into three streams of light and rushed into the three of them.

It meant that the contract had been established.

Sensing his body, An Kai chuckled in his heart.

After the [Contract Scroll] entered his body, it was destroyed by the system.

In other words, among the three of them, he could go back on his word and do something that violated the contract.

As for the other two, they were bound by the contract and could not violate it.

Originally, there was still some awkwardness due to signing the contract. Now, there was no awkwardness at all.

After signing the contract, An Kai put away his iceblade and smiled. He touched Wayne’s head and said gently, “Disciple, we wouldn’t have known each other without the fight!”

The change in expression was so fast that the corners of Mason’s mouth twitched. He finally saw what a real desert person was like.

Wayne laughed awkwardly. He didn’t know how to respond to such human interactions.

“Master, what spell did you use to condense your ice blade?”

An Kai put his hands behind his back and turned around.

He raised his head and spoke softly, “Frost.”

” Tier 1 Frost?!

“Support-type spells…. Frost?”

As soon as the answer appeared, Wayne, who had never expressed too much emotion, suddenly spoke in shock.

Seeing Wayne’s shock, An Kai thought of something and displayed the three-dimensional, three-meter defense of [Frost]!

“Wayne, how’s my [Frost]?”

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Wayne’s eyes lit up.

Wayne began to feel lucky for his apprenticeship!

“Magic Armor, Fireball, Frost.”

Wayne muttered. He had a feeling that the [Scholar] profession was really not far from him!

” I’ll give you the first task. You need to analyze the Wind Blade until it can be used by an apprentice mage. Then, you’ll give me your research result. I need to plan a path for your growth based on your talent.”

As soon as An Kai finished speaking, Mason, who had been silent all this while, suddenly felt that the tyrannical desert barbarian from before had become a ” supreme-ruler ” that was emitting light.

“Master! Don’t worry! I will definitely complete it!”

.

Five days later.

Outside the Chaos city entrance.

Hanks and Widow Wang put on a simple disguise and set up their stall again.

It wasn’t that they lacked money.

It was because Widow Wang treated every day as if it was her last day ever since Hanks spoke.

She pulled Hanks along to reminisce about their previous life.

Today, it was his turn to set up a stall at the entrance of Chaos City.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Widow Wang couldn’t sit still. She stood up and inadvertently looked out of the city.

Her expression suddenly froze, and she narrowed her eyes to take a closer look.

“Hanks, I think I saw your father…”

Hanks, who was busy, was stunned. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Widow Wang.

There were two people in a row and a big black rat.

The one walking at the front was the father that Widow Wang had mentioned.

Hanks narrowed his eyes and struggled to see the man’s face. He stood up abruptly. “Oh no! Why is this bad egg back?!”
