The Mage of Eternity

80 Steadiness and Running
“What’s the matter?”

Hanks thought for a moment and said with a worried expression, “Our chaos city has run out of food!

“Before, with the primal chaos city leader around, the surrounding seven countries had fixed caravans coming and going to chaos city to sell food.

“Because of the orcs, when the inner city cut off contact with them, the inner city looted the seven countries’ grain teams this year and stored them all in the inner city.

“The next batch of grain teams will only appear a year later. At that time, it’s uncertain whether they will appear because of this year’s robbery!”

When Hanks told him about what had bothered him the whole night, An Kai was stunned for a moment before he laughed without hiding it.

“Hanks, will you starve to death?”

Hearing An Kai’s question, Hanks was stunned. He definitely wouldn’t starve to death because he had stored three years’ worth of supplies.

He shook his head honestly, not understanding the meaning behind An Kai’s question.

“I understand. Hanks, are you really thinking of yourself as the City Lord?

“Have you gone senile? We are robbers!

“Why do you care if they will starve to death?! What you should be concerned about is how many gold coins they can provide us!”

An Kai’s words stunned Hanks, and he suddenly reacted.

That’s right!

Why was he worried about the lack of food for the residents in the city?

“Hanks, as your friend, I have to remind you: The city lord position for the outside city is a ticking bomb.

“Whoever sits in this position will be a thorn in the flesh of the desert orcs and the inner city lord.

“Right now, they don’t care about this place because they have no time to spare. If they come back to their senses, the first thing they will do is to come to the outer city of chaos city and get rid of you, this so-called bullsh * t city lord!”

.

An Kai’s words made Hanks fall silent.

These words were very reasonable.

Thinking back now, Hanks thought that he was the City Lord because of the peace and the position of being above everyone.

Coincidentally, An Kai’s words today had enlightened him.

“Get ready. Tell them that the protection fee will be collected again in two months.

“Cherish this opportunity. When the victor between the desert orcs and the inner city is decided, we will have to wander the desert.”contemporary romance

An Kai patted Hanks’ shoulder, then jumped over the wall and walked towards his residence outside the Chaos City.

Today, he wasn’t going to let Hanks analyze the language of Shaq. Hanks wasn’t in the right state today, so it was better for him to rest.

He had already expected the food shortage in the outer city.

When the connection was cut off, not only was the Rewards Tower empty, but many peddlers in the outer city also left.

One of them was the detector merchant that Hanks had been thinking about.

Thus, the current outer chaos city would not only run out of food, but it would also slowly run out of everything.

However, An Kai didn’t care.

What did it have to do with him?

If anyone dared to rebel, he would take action to suppress them.

He didn’t care about the negative effects of doing so. After all, he would leave after plundering a few waves.

If they didn’t have enough strength, forcefully occupying the only public city in the desert would only attract hatred. There was no benefit.
Furthermore, in the desert, there were Stage 5 experts in the inner city and among the orcs. Being squeezed in the middle was never a good idea.

An Kai was very clear about this.

This was also related to his self-awareness.

This kind of self-awareness was also one of the reasons why An Kai had been living a relatively comfortable life in the desert.

Not long after, An Kai returned to his temporary residence outside Chaos City.

First, he looked at the side quest. Compared to yesterday, there was nothing different.

Only then did An Kai take out the [Meditation Staff], hold it in his hand, and begin today’s meditation cultivation.

.

Two months later.

An Kai and Hanks gathered at the original base of the Evergreen Gang, which was the city lord’s mansion for the outer city.

According to the 20:80 split, An Kai got 2143 low-grade magic stones this time.

Compared to before, the profits were greatly reduced.

This was also related to the large number of chaos city residents escaping.

However, An Kai didn’t care. When these guys went out and saw the changes in the desert, they understood that only the outer chaos city could provide them with a moment of peace.

In the past two months, An Kai’s seclusion efficiency did not decrease.

He obtained a total of 48 attribute points, which were evenly added to his four attributes.

Among them,[Intelligence] was the first to reach 293 points. The other three attributes also reached 292 points.

There were only 72 attribute points left to break through the spell-level shackles. Based on his current efficiency, he would be able to complete it in about four months.

In two months, An Kai’s [Beast Meat Refining Platform] had made a great contribution. He had only used up the last 14 level 1 magic nuclei and 3 low-grade magic stones.

It satisfied An Kai’s increasing appetite.

Compared to the forty-nine Class 2 Monster Cores he had obtained through [Summon] in the past two months, this amount of loss was almost negligible.

After returning to his residence, he poured out all the low-grade magic stones in his storage ring and counted them again and again. After confirming that it was 4969, he held the [Meditation Staff] and continued to meditate with a smile on his face.

Because the desert orcs and chaos city lord were in a dire battle, the outer chaos city had become An Kai’s backyard.

It was unclear who might win in the end, but so far, An Kai had won a lot.

It was also because of the war between the two forces that An Kai obtained a long-lost peace.

However, this did not last long.

.

A year and a half later.

As usual.

An Kai ended his cultivation and flipped through today’s side quest. He was concerned about his two neighbours and how the battle was going.

[1:…]

.

[29: The battle between the desert orcs and the inner city of Chaos City is intense. They are short of resources and have turned their attention to the outer chaos city.

[The orc prince wanted to send a few stage 3 experts to conquer the outer city and make the residents his slaves to help him collect resources.

[However, before they set off, the 28th Prince used stability as an excuse to replace the Stage 3 Orcs with Stage Tier 4 Orcs. If it weren’t for the fact that the Stage 5 Blade and Strength generals were injured, the 28th Prince would have sent one of them to accompany the team.

[They set off at daybreak and would arrive at the outer Chaos City in three days.]

In the temporary residence outside the chaos city, An Kai saw this side quest.

He stood up abruptly.

He quickly put the [Beast Meat Refining Platform] into his storage ring.

Then, he ran out of the courtyard and conjured a fireball, setting the courtyard on fire.

He ran to the original encampment of the Evergreen Clan as fast as he could.

He kicked open the door with a loud bang, causing Hanks, who was ‘exercising’, to suddenly twitch.

Under Widow Wang’s disdainful gaze, he ran out of the room in a sorry state and saw An Kai standing in the courtyard.

“Hanks, it’s time to run.

“We’ll meet again if fate permits!”

After saying that, An Kai turned around and left without any hesitation.

In the courtyard, Hanks was stunned. He quickly rushed back to his room. “Hurry up and pack up. We’re going to run!”

“Running again? Hanks, you useless thing!”
