The Mage of Eternity

108 Misunderstanding

There was still about half a day's journey to the outer chaos city.

Hanks and the others gritted their teeth and ran for their lives.

Behind them was a Stage 4 Magical Beast with slow movement, high defence, and a gentle personality, the Single-Horned Lizard.

Its body was nearly 10 meters long, and its entire body was covered in a thick layer of earthen brown, like armour.

Its four limbs were thick and powerful, and it had sharp claws.

It had a triangular, slender head like a large lizard, but on its forehead, there was a horn that was half a meter long and flickered with a cold light.

The Single-Horned Lizard was one of the few Magical Beasts that were close to humans in the Seven Countries and the outer regions.

They were powerful and had a gentle personality. They had always been the first choice for humans to pick for guardian beasts.

Hanks and the others would never have thought of this... contemporary romance

The Single-horn Lizard that they had encountered in the desert, which was known for its gentle personality, was actually a bloodthirsty Magical Beast!

The two parties exchanged a glance in an oasis, and Hanks and the others ran away.

In the oasis, the surroundings of the Single-horn Lizard were filled with corpses.

When Hanks saw it, the Single-horn Lizard was eating.

It was also this glance that made the Single-horn Lizard give up on eating and charge straight at Hanks and the others.

Although its speed was very slow, it was already very fast for a group of people whose average strength was not even at Stage 2.

They gritted their teeth and desperately ran towards the outer chaos city.

"Hold on, when we reach the city, we will be saved!"

Hanks encouraged his companions as he ran.

At the same time, he cursed An Kai in his heart.

"Damned An Kai, you brat, you really have no conscience.

"You promised to protect me the entire time. In the end, the assassin disappeared right after the end of the battle in the Buklin Duchy!"

In a moment of greed, Hanks decided to take a risk and lead a team to the Seven Countries for the sake of Widow Wang's future.

His hopes for survival had never been placed on the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason.

If he were in An Kai's shoes, he wouldn't send out a Stage 5 Assassin to protect him. It was best to keep such a powerful helper by his side.

Therefore, Hanks felt that he had to rely on himself more during this trip to the seven countries.

What attracted him was the 10% tax An Kai promised.

Even if he died, he could leave it to Widow Wang. This was what really moved Hanks.

Hanks and the others encountered trouble when they first entered the Buklin Duchy.

He wanted to rely on himself to solve the problem, but someone secretly helped him solve it.

This hidden help made Hanks think of the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason.

Back then, after solving the problem, Hanks muttered, "Has this kid changed his personality?"

Hanks believed that An Kai had really a Stage 5 Assassin to protect him throughout the entire journey. This made him even more confident in the Seven Country Trade.

As a result, Hanks realized the reality as soon as he arrived in the second country.

When they encountered trouble again, they wanted to rely on the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason, to help again. However, after waiting for a long time, even when someone in the team died, Mason still did not make a move.

At this moment, Hanks understood.

An Kai, that little bastard, had already summoned Mason back.

He had no choice. He had wanted to save some energy and survive peacefully, but he was forced to use his connections and strength.

He completed the trade mission but with difficulty. Hanks' team number was also reduced to less than 10% when they started.

How would he know that the reason why he was saved in the Buklin Duchy was because Will Buklin was there?

Will Buklin, who had advanced to Stage 5 through a blood sacrifice, had become a true anomaly in Undead Town.

He didn't follow Dong Lin's arrangements and walked amidst the chaos of war.

Where there was war, there was Will Buklin.

Slowly, in the surrounding Seven Countries, there was a rumour that a skeleton who liked to mediate fights often appeared in the midst of war.

Coincidentally, the Buklin Duchy was in chaos. Will Buklin came there and met Hanks and his men, who were in trouble.

Will Buklin recognized Hanks and remembered that he was one of An Kai's men.

In addition, he coincidentally heard that Hanks and the others were here to restore the trade between the outer city and the seven countries, as well as to solve the problem of food for the residents.

Therefore, Will Buklin did not hesitate to help Hanks and the others solve the problem.

Worried that his appearance would be misunderstood by Hanks and the others, Will Buklin chose to hide.

This also caused Hanks to misunderstand An Kai.

He thought that An Kai had really sent out a Stage 5 Assassin, Mason, to protect him for a while, and he was a little touched.

Hanks didn't know that An Kai never ordered Mason to follow Hanks at all.

After stumbling all the way, Hanks finally returned to the desert and finished all the trade missions.

Who knew that they would encounter the biggest trouble of this trip in this desert?

A Stage 4 single-horned lizard. And it was also an abnormal, extremely violent, single-horned lizard that was no different from An Kai's personality.

If it weren't for the fact that this place was too far away from the outer Chaos City, Hanks would have thought that it was raised by An Kai.

Roar!

While Hanks was letting his imagination run wild, the Single-horn Lizard behind him let out a furious roar.

The tip of its horn was filled with magic power. As he ran for his life, Hanks only took a glance and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
