The Mage of Eternity

Every time the seven countries around the desert started to shake, the Mage Association would appear. This was something that the 28th Prince of the Orcs had found out through investigation.

An Kai, who had been in the mage tower, had also discovered this through the daily quest update.

Furthermore, An Kai had also concluded a pattern.

At first, the Duchy's Mage Association was in chaos, and then the king died mysteriously.

In the end, the Mage Association called for the mages in the country to fight for the prince/princess who wanted to compete for the throne. Just as they were about to win, something strange happened to the prince/princess.

They were drugged, or they lost their magic power.

There was one more thing in common, and that was that they were all disciples of the president of the Mage Association of their respective countries.

Furthermore, they were very talented as mages.

In the end, these princes and princesses would have no choice but to flee to the desert because of the sudden disappearance of their magic power and the sudden disappearance of the Mage Association.

They had thought of escaping to other countries, such as the Waste Realm, but they would always be stopped by some mysterious force.

These duchies would then fall into a turbulent situation where the people would be in dire straits and foreign races would run amok.

Based on the patterns that he had concluded, An Kai seriously suspected that the source of the chaos was that old fart, Dong Lin!

Because every time undead town appeared, the country would start to follow the process An Kai had concluded.

Now that he thought about it, the Unnamed Town had only appeared in the Buklin Duchy for a few years before the Buklin Duchy fell apart.

"This old thing really deserves to die!"

In the Mage Tower, An Kai silently sent Dong Lin his best wishes.

After the citizens and adventurers of the countries surrounding the desert flooded into the desert, one person received real benefits.

It was none other than Hanks, the underground emperor of Outer Chaos City.

When An Kai saw the changes in the outer Chaos City in the side quest every day, he would be lying if he said that he was not envious.

His heart had long been itching to leave this damned mage tower!

With so many outsiders entering the outer chaos city, how much protection fee would they charge?

Could Hanks spend it all?

Of course, other than the ordinary people, some nobles from the seven countries around the desert also took the opportunity to escape into the desert.

They came here with various motives.

However, most of them wanted to take over the desert and chaos city.

They couldn't take over the inner city. After all, there was the Stage 5 chaos city leader.

They wanted the outer city, just like how An Kai envied Hanks for collecting protection fees in outer Chaos City.

They were envious of the peaceful desert outside the chaos city.

The reason why they hadn't made a move yet was that the various parties were wary of each other and were involved in each other. They were afraid that if they made a move, they would benefit others.

Secondly, the inner city of Chaos City and the desert orcs had yet to determine the victor. Most of the nobles who came with orders did not know which party they should side with.

A stage five mage was not something that any random force could take out. A stage four adventurer was already the strongest around them.

Therefore, the most important thing to do after taking down the outer city of chaos city was to choose the correct side.

The combination of these two reasons allowed Hanks, a Stage 3 adventurer who hid his strength, to be able to be the underground emperor in Outer Chaos City for so long.

Every time An Kai saw these things through the side quest, he would be envious of Hanks.

After calculating the time, An Kai took out a piece of white paper from the first floor of the mage tower from his storage ring and used his magic nucleus to carve a line on it.

"In a year and a half, I have to collect the protection fees eight times."

An Kai muttered and folded the paper.

He was already prepared. When he came out of seclusion, he would take this piece of paper to Hanks and ask for his share of the protection fee.

In a year and a half, he should take the protection fee nine times.

But An Kai was a kind person.

Outer chaos city.

The original Evergreen Sect's base was now the City Lord's Mansion.

A minute ago, Hanks and Widow Wang were exploring the meaning of life.

Hanks panted heavily and said slowly, "After we collect the fees for next month, we should leave."

Widow Wang looked at Hanks blankly. "Leave?"

"Sigh! Troubled times!

"We have no choice but to leave. Those nobles are running out of patience. We should escape while they can still restrain each other.

"This time, we'll be leaving together. I'm going to take you away from the Waste Realm. The surrounding countries are becoming more and more chaotic, and even the Shaq Kingdom can't hold on much longer. It's no longer safe to stay here."

Hanks reasoned with facts and thought he could convince Widow Wang.

However, after he finished speaking, Widow Wang did not even turn her head. She continued to stare blankly at the roof and muttered, "I'm not leaving."

Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm.

Hanks was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Why? My first man died in this desert. According to tradition, I can't leave.

"I won't drag you down. Let's continue to be husband and wife for a month."

Widow Wang slowly sat up and looked at the scorching courtyard outside through the blurry window.

Hanks, who was sitting by the bed, was silent for a long time before he said in a muffled voice, "Then let me think about it."

Hanks put on his clothes and left the room with a depressed expression.

After he left, Widow Wang looked at Hanks' back and muttered to herself, "Me... I simply can't leave this desert wasteland..."

.

In the Mage Tower.

Ten days later.

In ten days, An Kai knew how to get equipment to +6. Although he was impatient, he had hope.

Other than watching the side quest every day and feeling a little annoyed by Hanks, who was living a good life in outer chaos city, it was nothing much.

In 10 days, An Kai obtained a total of 16 attribute points.

This kind of improvement was still very exaggerated compared to the fact that he could only obtain one attribute point a month in the beginning.

After adding the four attributes, his Intelligence reached 525 points, and the other three attributes also reached 524 points.

In these ten days, he used Summons a lot. Unfortunately, other than obtaining seven Class 3 Monster Cores, he had nothing else.

The [Elite-level] magical beast that he had been thinking about was nowhere to be seen.

Today, An Kai used [Summon] again. At this moment, An Kai's state of mind was already a little calm.

It was because he was too disappointed.

The Hexagram Star Array floated beneath his feet, and the familiar magic elements gathered.

A moment later, a light flashed.

[Nurnisius: Level 23]

[Rarity: Lord]

[Talent: None]
