The Mage of Eternity

An hour later.

At the Evergreen Gang's base.

An Kai looked at Hanks, who was smiling foolishly and said, "Prepare the Magic Stone. I'll be back soon."

Hanks nodded and patted his chest.

After entering the Evergreen Gang's base, An Kai closed the door skillfully, blocking Hanks' line of sight.

Will Buklin was currently in the meeting hall of the Evergreen Sect.

When he saw An Kai enter, he stood up and greeted An Kai.

"Sir, I've brought everything here, as well as the approximate price for the [Magic Armor Spell]."

An Kai nodded. Will Buklin was the only person he could trust in the desert.

Will Buklin first pulled out a box that was about one meter in length, width, and height from the corner.

He pressed a few buttons, and the box opened.

What entered An Kai's eyes was a golden colour.

"Sir, the storage ring was sold for a total of 531 gold coins, the [Summon Spell] was sold for 1621 gold coins, and the remaining items were sold for 2013 gold coins.

"I've asked the lord of Chaos City, and she said that the starting bidding price of [magic armour] is 1500 gold, and the final price is estimated to be around 3800 gold.

"Last year's [Magic Armor Spell] was sold for 3650 gold coins."

Hearing Will Buklin's explanation, Ankai's expression froze. He asked, "Last year, they also auctioned off the same spell?!"

Will Buklin nodded." To be precise, in the past 20 years, there has been an auction for [Magic Armour] every year. The reason is that the Lord of Chaos City learned [Magic Armour] 35 years ago!

"In addition, she only used 15 years to cultivate the [Magic Armour] to the point where she could materialize it into a spellbook for others to learn it."

Will Buklin's explanation allowed An Kai to learn a new piece of knowledge.

So when the level of a spell was high enough, it could be taught to others?

If he could also cultivate the armour technique to a high level.

That was more than 3,000 gold coins!

In his eyes, the passion for [Magic Armor] became even stronger.

An Kai had skill points, so it was very convenient for him to upgrade his spells. He only needed to add skill points to his spells.

Therefore, the value of [Magic Armor] to him was much higher!

An Kai took out 265 gold coins from the box, leaving 3900 gold coins.

Pushing it to Will Buklin.

"You must help me bid for the [Armor Art]!"

Will Buklin didn't reject it and chose to accept it.

"Sir, I found something related to food that you asked me to find out. 

"In this auction, there will be a beast meat refining platform. Once the meat is refined by this platform, the effect will be at least ten times better!

"The platform will only use a few magic crystals for refinement.

"It can make one catty of beast meat produce nearly a hundred catty of effect!"

An Kai's eyes lit up. This was what he wanted!

"In this auction, its price is a fixed price of 2000 gold coins."

Just as An Kai was about to continue rummaging through his items to see which ones were worth 2000 gold coins…

Will Buklin waved his hand.

"Sir, don't worry. I'll buy this meat refining table for you. The Evergreen Gang still has 1642 gold coins in storage. When the auction starts in a month, we'll have around 2000 gold coins.

"It's more than enough to buy it.

"It just so happens that because of me, the Evergreen Gang doesn't have to hand over 90% of their wealth for the next six months."

An Kai was a little surprised when he heard Will Buklin's words.

It was very difficult for him to produce 2000 gold coins unless he sold [Meditation Staff] or [Brute Force Staff].

"Sir, please do not refuse!"

"This is my sister's and my goodwill. We owe you. Now that my sister has passed away, I will also leave in half a year. There is no way to repay your kindness to us. We can only repay you in such a crude way.

"You saved my life twice. You may have forgotten these favours, but my sister and I will not.

"I hope that before I leave, I can help myself and my sister make up to you for your kindness!"

When Will Buklin said these words, he didn't seem to be lying. These were words from the bottom of his heart.

An Kai really didn't expect to meet someone like Will Buklin in the desert.

"Leave in half a year? What about your deal with the city lord?"

After hearing Will Buklin's recount, it was the first time An Kai was concerned about the life and death of an outsider.

"I changed it. I still want to avenge my sister, so it became half a year."

Will Buklin looked carefree when he said this, but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

He was a good man but not a dumb man.

He would also be angry when his loved ones died.

In order to avenge his loved ones, he was willing to pay any price. Even if he died in the next second, Will Buklin would commit suicide without any complaints!

An Kai couldn't understand.

He believed that the way to take revenge should be by his own hands.

Work hard to become stronger, work hard to cultivate until one day you surpass your enemy!

But An Kai also knew that this was Will Buklin's personality.

At the same time, he was a good person, but he also paid great attention to his family.

An Kai didn't try to persuade him. He knew that it was useless.

All he could do now was give his blessings, wishing Will Buklin would get what he wanted.

As for the oath he had made earlier, he didn't tell Will Buklin because he didn't know how many years it would be before he would be strong enough to defeat the president of the Mage Association.

Compared to Will Buklin's half-a-year, it was definitely not as fast.

After chatting for a while, An Kai chose to leave.

Will Buklin was a little different from ordinary people. In his eyes, his own life had already become a bargaining chip for revenge.

He wouldn't listen to any advice.

After leaving the Evergreen Gang, Hanks immediately surrounded him.

"How is it? An Kai! Shall we start the transaction?"

For some reason, after the conversation with Will Buklin, he saw the greed in Hanks clearly.

An Kai was a little annoyed and said softly, "How vulgar!"

Then, he walked into the distance.

He left Hanks a promise, "A month later, we will trade for a minimum of 1,000 Magic Stones. Be patient."

At the entrance of the Evergreen Sect.

Hanks paused for nearly half a minute. He looked in the direction where An Kai had left and suddenly realized something.

"What happened to the deal?!

"Damn it! I've been played again!"

After his anger subsided, Hanks remembered the promise he made to Widow Wang before he left.

His face instantly fell. If nothing unexpected happened, he might have to live separately from Widow Wang tonight.

.

An Kai only asked Hanks if he could trade for 1,000 Magic Stones.

He didn't say that the trade would happen that day.

Of course, even if he did, he would not admit it.

Going back on one's word, wasn't that a necessary skill for people in the desert?

An Kai still had some orc nameplates that he hadn't exchanged. He wanted to use these plates to exchange for gold coins before trading with Hanks.

But not that day.

There was still a month before the auction.

Taking advantage of this period of time, An Kai was prepared to continue his seclusion.

The current world was getting more and more dangerous!

.

Chaos City, west corner, in an unremarkable courtyard.

This was An Kai's new seclusion place.

He spent all the gold coins he had on him and piled up a room full of beast meat.

There were still 25 days left until the end of the month.

Just as An Kai was about to enter seclusion.

[Attribute Point +1]

[Attribute Point +1]

Looking at the notification, the two attribute points were provided by his [Guide of the Wanderer].

He added the two attribute points to his endurance and stamina, respectively.

[Endurance: 138]

[Stamina: 138]

"Not bad, it's a good start!"

With a light laugh, An Kai chose to enter seclusion.

Twenty days later...
