The Mage of Eternity

"This is bad!"

At this moment, Hanks understood.

It seemed that he could not hide.

He knew that An Kai must have other plans for helping him.

"That…Little Master, I'll go prepare the magic Stone for you first. After all, there are so many of them. It will take some time to prepare."

Hanks looked at An Kai and said dryly.

Who knew that An Kai's expression did not change, and he still had a warm smile on his face.

But it was this smile that made Hanks panic.

He wouldn't be worried if they glared at each other.

"Hanks, you used to be a spy from the Seven Kingdoms, right?"

An Kai sat down and cast a Freezing spell to seal the door.

A dark brown layer of hard ice with a hint of blue suddenly appeared.

Not only was the door sealed, but it also isolated the hot weather outside, causing the temperature in the room to plummet.

"Yes."

The bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. Hanks could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Hanks, do you still remember what you said before?"

"What I said before?"

Hanks was stunned. What did he say?

"That I missed you so much?" Hanks tried to say this. He thought about it, and only this sentence echoed what he said before.

An Kai glanced at Hanks and didn't keep him in suspense. "Do you still remember that you said that the residents in the city were seriously lacking in food?"

As soon as An Kai finished speaking, Hanks remembered.

Memories instantly flooded his mind.

He clearly remembered that time when he was overflowing with sympathy and wanted to solve the food problem of the residents in the city. In the end, not only was he severely criticized by An Kai, but he was also awakened by An Kai.

Since then, Hanks had never considered this matter. Even when he returned to the outer chaos City and faced the influx of refugees from the seven kingdoms, he had never considered this problem.

When he heard An Kai mention it, Hanks instantly thought of the food situation in the outer chaos City.

Most of the residents could only eat once every two or three days. What they ate depended on their luck and the species of magical beasts they could hunt.

After all, most of the residents in the city were not very strong, and the places they could go were not too far away.

Therefore, most of the residents in the city hunted at the same place, which made it even harder to capture magical beasts.

Seeing Hanks in deep thought, An Kai figured that this old man might have remembered the last time he was reprimanded by him.

At that time, An Kai didn't expect that his spells would increase tenfold, nor did he expect that he would meet a Tier 5 Assassin as his guardian in about two years.

An Kai coughed and continued, "Since you have the experience of being a spy for the Seven Kingdoms, you must have a good understanding of the Seven Kingdoms.

"In order to feed the citizens of Chaos City, I hope you can head to the seven countries and open up the trade routes between us and them."

Hanks was dumbfounded when An Kai revealed his final goal.

"But…But the seven kingdoms are in civil strife."

"Hanks, this is not important. You have to understand that what you are doing is to save thousands of people in the desert from starvation and death!"

Hanks remained silent. His silence was the best answer.

Even when An Kai took out his black [Brute Force Staff], Hanks remained silent.

Perhaps he had expected Hanks to do this, so An Kai clapped his hands lightly.

A wave appeared, and the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason, appeared beside Hanks.

"Master."

Mason had given enough face to An Kai. There was no other way. The contract had already been signed. There was no need for him to give An Kai a hard time.

"A Stage 5 assassin will protect your safety. Are you confident in this trip?

"In addition, after the trade route is opened, I promise that you will take 10% of the taxes from the city that will be restored in the future. This promise will be effective forever. Even if you die, you can give the benefits to Widow Wang."

Gulp.

Hanks stretched his neck and swallowed.

If it were really as An Kai said, opening up the trade route and solving the food problem, the number of residents in the city would definitely increase.

And the trade in the outer chaos city would also explode.

The speciality of the desert had always been loved by the seven countries.

In addition to An Kai's personality, the tax would definitely be a terrifying figure.

This was much better than guarding the city, where there were fewer and fewer people, and collecting protection fees became harder!

Also, An Kai promised to let him have 10% of the tax forever. Even after he died, he could leave it to Widow Wang.

This hit Hanks hard in the soft spot.

Moreover, with a Stage 5 assassin as his bodyguard, he was not afraid of internal strife.

Hanks' eyes lit up.

He had never expected that his reunion with An Kai would have such a huge change.

Not only did An Kai have the Crown Prince of Shaq as his lackey, but he also had a Stage 5 assassin by his side?!

Most importantly, this was a transaction worth millions and tens of millions of gold coins!

"Hanks, I'm offering you this because we know each other. Do you believe that if I go out and shout this offer, there will be people willing to go?

"Even the princes and princesses of the duchy don't get such a good treatment."

An Kai continued, then waved his hand to cancel the [Frost] blocking the door.

An Kai understood the trick of playing hard to get.

Hanks looked at the door, which was once again illuminated by sunlight, and made up his mind.

"I'll go!"

Why did he come to Chaos City?

Wasn't it just to give Widow Wang a future?

At this moment, this hope was right in front of him. How could he give up?

In addition, he would be escorted by a Stage 5 assassin.

Just as An Kai had said, the princes and princesses of the duchy did not receive such treatment.

Even in the Kingdom of Shaq, only Wayne had such treatment!

With so many reasons combined, Hanks could not find a reason to refuse.

"Good, good, good. I knew that you, Hanks, must be worried about the residents of the city."

"Hehehe, I'm so sad that they can't eat their fill," Hanks replied dryly.

.

The next day.

In the courtyard of the Evergreen Clan's base.

Hanks chose Reid's group of four and some experts from the city, a total of 50 people, to form the trading team.

This trip only had one goal, and that was to reestablish the trade connection between the seven countries and the outer chaos city.

In the main hall of the Evergreen Sect.

Hanks was in high spirits as he and An Kai imagined their beautiful future.

An Kai also smiled and made his promise, reassuring Hanks.

A moment later, the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason, appeared with a backpack on his back.

An Kai glanced at him.

"I wish you all a triumphant return!"

"Help me take care of her."

Hanks gave his last order, nodded at Mason, and walked out of the hall.

Mason nodded in response and then disappeared.

Seeing this, Hanks heaved a sigh of relief. A few seconds later, a loud shout came from the courtyard.

With Hanks as the leader, the team of more than 50 people walked towards the seven countries with excitement and nervousness.

After Hanks and the others left the city of primal chaos and walked for a few hours.

In the main hall of the Evergreen Clan where Hanks was received, An Kai looked up from his seat. "Are they gone?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, Mason appeared again with a backpack on his back.
