The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 46: Returning to Chaos City

Translator: Lonelytree

The tremors from the fireball spread to Chaos City, which was a kilometre away.

Hanks, who was setting up his stall in Chaos City, suddenly stood up. “Strange, what’s wrong with those orcs?”

Hanks shook his head.

He continued to lie beside the yellow horse. After a moment, a light snore sounded.

Five minutes later.

In the past five minutes, An Kai did not show any signs of fatigue. The fireballs didn’t stop.

At this moment, he sensed that he still had about one-third of his mana left.

The orcs not far away from Reid had already been blasted into pieces by An Kai’s two Fireballs in a second.

The pieces couldn’t even assemble three complete bodies.

After being overly shocked, one would become numb.

Just like Reid now.

He had been lying on the spot in a daze since An Kai had made his move.

His heart was numb.

Reid didn’t know what words to use to describe An Kai’s strength.

In his limited reserve of compliments.

He couldn’t find a word suitable for An Kai!

Genius? Monster?

It was not enough.

“Well done.”

At some point, An Kai arrived beside Reid on his [Stone Statue Giant].

Reid came back to his senses and showed a silly smile to An Kai, who was sitting on the shoulder of the [Stone Statue Giant].

At this moment, An Kai’s strength had already surpassed his master in Reid’s heart. Hanks!

Struggling to get up, Reid instructed the uninjured warrior to take care of the two injured warriors. He followed An Kai and walked towards the orc gathering place.

An Kai looked at him in surprise. It was extremely rare for the four of them to have such a relationship in this desert.

The odds were the same as meeting the fifth princess of the Buklin Duchy.

In the desert, mutual deception was the orthodox way.

Therefore, Reid’s close relationship with the three warriors was rare.

However, An Kai was not interested in knowing how this relationship was formed.

Even if he asked, other than satisfying his curiosity, there was nothing good about it.

It would also bring about some misunderstandings, causing him to change his impression of them. It would easily cause such an unhealthy trend of soft-heartedness!

Reid followed behind the [Stone Statue Giant] and waited for An Kai’s question.

If An Kai asked why the four of them had such an intimate relationship, he would tell the truth and act pitifully.

Who knew that An Kai only took a glance and stopped paying attention?

There was a hundred-meter-long crater near the orcs gathering place.

As soon as he got close, a scorching heat and the smell of blood assaulted him.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Fireball, the soft sand turned into dark brown soil.

It seemed to be much harder than before.

An Kai looked at it with disdain.

He gave the Stone Statue Giant an order to take a detour.

“Reid, check to see if you missed anything.”

He turned around and instructed before driving the [Stone Statue Giant] to take a detour.

Reid looked at the purgatory-like scene in front of him and the bloody smell that assaulted his face.

He sighed helplessly.

[Bramble Armor!]

Thorns appeared and attached themselves to Reid’s surface, forming a protective layer.

This was a Level 5 Wizard skill.

It was also the highest-level wizard armour skill that Reid had mastered so far.

He had spent 20 gold coins to buy this from the Rewards Building!

In the orc gathering place, the [Stone Statue Giant] carried An Kai and walked into the gathering place that was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Wherever he passed by, he would shoot out a fireball.

Then, he commanded the Stone Statue Giant to dig through the collapsed buildings and find resources that were useful to An Kai.

He had destroyed three houses in a row, but he did not encounter many resources or money.

However, there were many human bones.

The skulls had been polished by the orcs until they were shiny. They had already become their daily tools.

Seeing this, An Kai silently said, “May the Lord bless you.”

After he paid his respect, he realised there probably wasn’t any orthodox religion at this place, so he added, “May the Archmage bless you!”

Then, a fireball flew out and devoured these human bones.

There were a total of 13 pyramid-shaped buildings in this gathering place.

Three of them were large.

An Kai had thought that the large one was where the leaders of the orcs lived.

Who knew that this was actually the Orcs’ dormitory?

He found quite a few tools that the orcs used daily, but he didn’t find any resources or money.

At this moment, An Kai had a bad feeling.

Could it be that there was really nothing?

Ten minutes later, An Kai stood in front of the last orc building with a livid face.

There was really nothing valuable in the buildings ahead!

With the [Brute Force Staff] in hand, a fireball flew out.

He destroyed the smallest building that looked like a pyramid in the orc gathering place.

After the collapse, the Stone Statue Giant was like a hard-working worker, squatting on the collapsed building and rummaging through it.

The reason why An Kai didn’t go in first and use Fireball to destroy the buildings directly was because the buildings were too small to hide anything.

Two minutes later.

An Kai’s eyes lit up.

The stone giant took out two solid wood treasure chests that were about one meter long and 50 centimetres wide from the ruins!

He placed it in front of An Kai, who held the Frost Blade in his hand and cut open the two treasure chests without hesitation!

One of the treasure chests shone with a golden light.

There were 132 gold coins in total.

In the other treasure chest, there was a nameplate.

“Buklin Dukedom, First Division of Orcs, Team 165, Captain Ansel.”

“Buklin Dukedom, 1st Division of Orcs, 98th Brigade, Chief Captain Lasalle.”

“Bucklin Duchy.”

There were exactly eight plates corresponding to the eight Stage 2 Orcs in the Orc encampment.

Putting away the nameplates, An Kai prepared to take them to the Rewards Building to try his luck and see if he could exchange them for some resources.

After a cursory glance, he put away all the gold coins.

All in all, his gains were a little low and did not meet his expectations.

However, after seeing the information on the nameplate, An Kai expressed his understanding.

He estimated that there would be an orc army coming here to collect resources every once in a while.

As for not encountering a Sorcerer’s Stone, An Kai was not surprised. The Orcs were famous for their low talent in magic.

After collecting his loot, he threw out a few fireballs and set the gathering place ablaze. He then called out to Reid and the others who were still behind him and walked towards Chaos City.

Chaos City, 200m from the entrance.

Reid swallowed hard.

The shock of seeing An Kai smash the [Stone Statue Giant] with his staff was no less than the shock of seeing the staff hit his head.

An Kai found the monster’s core from the rubble.

He thought to himself, Exchange!

[Skill Points +2]

He continued to walk towards Chaos City.

As soon as he entered the city, An Kai saw his old acquaintances.

“Hanks! I’m here to enjoy life with you, not to suffer!

“If you don’t bring back the money tonight, don’t blame me for finding a new

husband!”
