The Mage of Eternity

283 Deceiver

The price of his advancement was the tragic death of living beings up to five figures after being betrayed by him.

After returning to the kingdom, Hanks disguised himself as a stage 5 mage.

After some investigation, he finally understood.

The war back then was not to protect the country but to fight for the right to a magic stone mine.

After the investigation, Hanks made up his mind to take revenge!

If Stage 6 didn’t appear, Stage 5 would be the world’s top combat strength.

He had endured hardships for fifteen years.

In the end, Hanks single-handedly caused a full-scale war between the kingdom and the enemy country that killed his parents.

Hanks used the [Deceiver] characteristic to travel between the two countries, bewitching the people of the two countries and consuming them regardless of the consequences.

The war lasted for ten years.

Hanks also turned from a young man to a middle-aged man.

In the two countries, the people who deserved to die had already died.

Under his bewitchment, less than one in a hundred residents of the two countries survived.

Corpses littered the ground.

The royal family and nobles were all destroyed.

The head of the royal family of the enemy country was cut off by Hanks and hung on the wall where his parents used to live.

At this moment, Hanks suddenly realized something.

In order to take revenge, too many innocent people had died at his hands.

In addition, the revenge had been taken, and there was no one in the world who would miss him.

And Hanks was very afraid of death.

He thought of a compromise.

Using the [Deceiver] characteristic, using the last ability to “deceive” oneself, he deceived himself to forget the [Deceiver] profession.

He headed to the desert, preparing to spend the rest of his life in the desert.

He relied on his instincts to survive in the desert.

He had become a spy of the Seven Countries of the Desert in one leap. The others were two-faced, while he was seven-faced.

Later, due to the mysterious death of the king of the Buklin Duchy, his personal guard disguised as the mayor of the Unnamed Town.

As a spy of the Seven Kingdoms, Hanks received a mission to go to the Unnamed Town to find out what secrets the disguised mayor of the Unnamed Town had in the hands of the Buklin Duchy.

There, he met…

An Kai!

Including Hanks, An Kai had encountered three [heaven-blessed professions].

Will Bucklin,[Wanderer] class. Before he died, all he wanted to do was sacrifice himself to save others.

Indeed, he had done that.

Wayne,[Scholar] profession, with a stage 3 cultivation, he managed Chaos City in an orderly manner, one of An Kai’s indispensable helpers.

Hanks was a Deceiver, and he was only at the fifth stage of cultivation. He was plotting against the two kingdoms, and they had both [Spirit Endowment] and [Body Strengthening/Spirit Forging].

In the end, the two countries disappeared, and less than one in a hundred residents of the two countries remained.

And Hanks was the cruellest person to lie to himself.

The day after his ” death “, his [Deceiver] profession awakened once again. After years of accumulation, he followed An Kai.

He never lacked resources.

It allowed him to advance to [Spirit Enchanter-Deceiver]!

It was no wonder that Hanks had not improved much despite consuming a lot of resources.

Will Buklin’s life was full of suffering. Even after his death, there was no change.

Hanks’ life was all about luck.

However, An Kai knew that being a Deceiver was an all-or-nothing profession. If he weren’t careful, he would die.

Not only did this require strength, but it also required luck.

“Hanks, I suggest you worship the Lady Luck from now on!”

Hanks, who was sitting opposite An Kai, chuckled.

After explaining his background, Hanks, who had returned to his peak, stood up.” Thank you for taking care of me all these years. Now that I’ve recovered, I should do something.

” Give me a ship, and I’ll go get those guys from the Mage Association for you. You have the [Contract] blessed by the Archmage God and the God of Contract, so you’ll have the final say when the time comes.

” Believe me, my entire life has been filled with lies. There are only two people to whom I have told very few lies.

“One is her, and the other is you!”

Hanks said sincerely.

If it were an ordinary person, they would really be moved by him.

An Kai was unmoved. He took out another [Contract] and placed it in front of Hanks.

The meaning was self-evident.

“Didn’t we already sign it?”

Hanks was stunned. He had finally revealed his true feelings, but he was still not trusted.

” That was signed with Stage 3 [Warrior] Hanks. Now, it’s signed with Spirit Endower [Deceiver] Hanks.”

Hearing An Kai’s explanation, Hanks silently took the blank [Contract] and signed his name.

Then, An Kai took back the [Contract] and took out a pen. The first clause was written, “When communicating, conversing, and doing things with An Kai, you are not allowed to hide or lie.”

Hanks looked at An Kai and suddenly smiled.

This was the An Kai he knew.

” Why did you choose the Mage Association? This time, all four major forces are here.”

“They have money!” Hanks blurted out without thinking. “The person behind it is rich!”

A familiar answer, a familiar motive.

“Alright!” An Kai patted Hanks on the shoulder. “This is the Hanks, I know!

” When you were half-dead, I wanted to throw you into the ocean to feed the fish.”

Hanks smiled awkwardly.

Now that he had finished his task, he was ready to take action immediately. He had not used his [Deceiver] ability for many years, so he wondered if he was rusty.

Just as he was about to leave, Hanks suddenly thought of something and said solemnly,

“That…I’m not returning those white packets from before!”

” Whatever.” An Kai waved his hand nonchalantly.” I didn’t give one to you anyway.”
