The Mage of Eternity

63 Leave and Reward
“361 gold coins?”

“Two nameplates on the third floor of the Rewards Building.”

“Two sets of Class Change Scrolls.”

“Is that all?”

An Kai poured out all the items in the storage rings.

He looked at Hanks with an unfriendly gaze.

[Stage 2 Assassin, Raider One-time Class Advancement Scroll]

[Stage 2 Knight, Light Knight One-time Class Advancement Scroll]

The scroll’s name appeared in front of his eyes.

“Old thing, you better give me an explanation!”

After spending so much effort, he only managed to get 361 gold coins and two scrolls that he did not need.

An Kai was a little unhappy.

He didn’t know the value of the scroll. At this time, he couldn’t and wouldn’t return to Chaos City to sell the scroll.

“Uh… These two class change scrolls added up to 2000 gold coins.

“They are the most valuable thing. I personally witnessed the two of them spend a lot of money to get these two things during the auctions.”

Hanks chuckled, his face full of pride. He was confident in his choice of bait.

Hearing that the two scrolls were worth 2000 gold coins, An Kai’s eyes lit up.

“I knew it. Hanks, how could you be wrong?”

After An Kai finished speaking, he used his perception to confirm that he could not use it, then pushed the two scrolls in front of him to Hanks.

His thoughts were obvious.

Hanks seemed to have suddenly gained control of the situation. He calmly picked up the two scrolls and looked at them. He said softly, “1200 gold coins. Are you selling them?”

Whoosh!

When An Kai heard the price, he pulled out his [Brute Force Staff] and looked like he was going to beat Hanks to death.

“Old thing! I’ll give you a chance. You’d better think clearly before giving me the price.”

“Young man, don’t be so hot-tempered. It’s not good to fight just because you don’t agree.” Hanks smiled as he stepped back and gently pressed down on the dark brown iron rod that was pointing at his forehead.

“I’m not trying to scam you with this price of 1200 gold coins. An Kai, we’ve been together for so many years.”

After hearing Hanks ‘explanation, An Kai remained silent. He raised the [Brute Force Staff] and pointed it at Hanks’ forehead, expressing his attitude with his actions.

“Sigh! The Rewards Building’s auction was rigged!

“When they saw that these two unlucky fellows wanted these two Class Advancement Scrolls, they asked their own people to raise the price. In the end, they raised the price from 1100 gold coins to 2000 gold coins.”

Hanks shook his head and sighed as if he was really lamenting that the two dead people had spent too much money.

Hanks thought that his acting skills were not bad and An Kai would not do anything to him.

After all, both of them were preparing to run away.

An Kai wouldn’t return to Chaos City to find out the price of these two items.

Therefore, Hanks thought that he was in luck this time!

An Kai stood still and suddenly chuckled.

He put away the [Brute Force Staff].
“Sigh! Kid, how about this? For the sake of our friendship, I’ll give you another 50 gold coins!”

Hanks saw that An Kai seemed to have given in. He gritted his teeth and pretended to have made a painful decision.

“No need. We aren’t even friends.”

Who knew that An Kai did not even raise his head. He squatted on the ground and put away the nameplate for the third floor of the inner city’s Rewards Building, as well as the two scrolls.

He picked out 49 gold coins from the pile and put them away.

The remaining 312 gold coins were pushed to Hanks.

“The scroll is worth 1200 gold coins, and we have 361 gold coins. You take 20%, I take 80%, and I give you 312 gold coins.”

Hanks was dumbfounded when he saw that An Kai had distributed the items fairly. He felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

He had calculated everything, but he didn’t expect An Kai to not trade with him.

Standing still, Hanks said in a daze, “No more trading?”

An Kai chuckled.” No, I suddenly remembered that I have two distant cousins. They are Assassins and Knights. I’ll give these scrolls to them.”

A fake excuse stopped Hanks from asking further.

“Alright. Good. Kid, you’re really kind.” Hanks’ face twitched as he stuttered.

After collecting the 361 gold coins, Hanks had a lot to say, but he could not say anything when he saw An Kai’s half-smile.

2000 gold coins were indeed too high, but it was not as ridiculous as Hanks said. Two scrolls could easily be sold for 1500 gold coins in Chaos City.

However, Hanks knew that An Kai wouldn’t sell him the scrolls even if he offered 1500 gold coins.

Of course, he wouldn’t offer such a high price.

“Hanks, will you return to Chaos City again?”

An Kai asked Hanks, who was still standing there, as he packed his things and was about to leave.

The exchange rate between gold coins and magic stones through official channel was so low. It would be a loss for An Kai if they did not have any interactions in the future.

His plan was to seek out Hanks again after completing his seclusion.

The reason why he was not in a hurry was that he still had a lot of skill points. An Kai estimated that it would be enough for him to cultivate for a year or two.

“Me?”

Hanks pondered for a moment and then smiled. “I will. For a rotten person like me, only the desert and chaos city are my home.”

An Kai nodded and felt relieved.

After that, he prepared to leave. He had just killed the guy in the inner city, the assassin trained by the reward tower, and the people from the city lord’s mansion. If he continued to stay, he might be targeted by the city lord.

It just so happened that he had solved his food problem, and it was time for him to enter seclusion.

“An Kai!”

Hanks suddenly stopped An Kai, who was about to leave. An Kai turned around in confusion.

“Try to leave the desert in the future. The desert is where scum like us gather. You’re still young. Try to leave.”

Hearing this, An Kai suddenly laughed mockingly.

“Hanks, are you getting old? Or are you going to die?

“Why are you talking nonsense?

“However, if you’re about to die, remember to find a way to inform me. In my hometown, according to tradition, I have to give you a send-away banquet out of courtesy.”

After teasing him, An Kai put away his [Brute Force Staff], waved his hand, and walked into the depths of the desert without looking back.

“Courtesy? Banquet?”

Hanks muttered. He looked in the direction An Kai left and couldn’t help but sigh.

It was as if he felt it was a pity that An Kai was unwilling to leave the desert, but also as if he was recalling his past.

Hanks took one last look at the Chaos City and ran in the direction where Widow Wang and the others had left without looking back.

“I wonder when we’ll meet again.”

.

The day after An Kai and Hanks left.

Chaos City issued a wanted order!

The first was to arrest the person who killed the Puppet Master and Astrologer of the Evergreen Gang.

The second was to catch ‘Reid’.

The bounty for both of them was 1000 gold coins each!

This was the first time in recent years that the city lord’s mansion, which had been silent for a long time, had taken the initiative to issue a wanted mission.

.

The next day, An Kai, who had been walking for a day, followed the simple map of the desert obtained by the Evergreen Sect and arrived at his first destination.

It was a small oasis that occupied an area of about 200 acres.

Just as he reached the entrance of the oasis, An Kai saw the new side mission.

Coincidentally, he saw the wanted list for him and Hanks from the Chaos City.

“How petty!”

He muttered and plunged into the oasis.
