The Mage of Eternity

"Oh? Old thing. Brother Hanks, tell me in detail!"

An Kai's eyes lit up. The reason he left the tower this time was to find resources.

Hunting and fishing in the desert was already a drop in the bucket for him.

Hanks pretended not to hear An Kai calling him an old thing.

He coughed lightly and began to explain.

"Split Mountain Gang..."

..

Five minutes later.

An Kai understood.

Hanks meant that he could join the Mountain Gang and become their gang member. This way, he would receive a sum of resources every month.

It was worth about 10 low-grade sorcerer's stones.

Moreover, being a gang member was only in name and he did not need to pay anything.

An Kai would definitely be willing to do such a good thing!

Especially since Hanks had also mentioned that mages would get double resources from the gang!

However...

An Kai was not in a hurry to agree. Why would Hanks tell him such a good thing for no reason?

"That's all? Hanks, you better not lie to me!"

An Kai's eyes widened as if he was giving a warning.

"Cough cough. Kid, what do you think I am?"

An Kai was unmoved. He signalled Hanks to continue. He was listening.

"Cough cough. Aiya, look at my memory. I forgot about this!"

"After you join us, I will be the one who introduced you. I will get 10 low-grade sorcerer's stones. How about this? We will split it equally."

"No need. It's all yours."

An Kai replied without thinking.

He was still very clear about some things.

It was just 10 low-grade sorcerer's stones. Compared to the offering of the sect that Hanks had introduced, it was insignificant.

After knowing that he could take the resources of the sect for free, An Kai did not stay any longer and urged Hanks to bring him into the sect.

Hanks was also very enthusiastic about getting benefits. Without needing An Kai to say anything, he brought him to the base of the split mountain sect.

The two of them took about half an hour arrive at the Mountain Split Gang encampment located southwest of chaos city.

Looking at the Mountain Split Gang's encampment which was more than ten meters wide, An Kai could not help but ask, "How strong is the second rank?"

"How strong? He can beat you up a hundred times with one hand."

Hanks responded with a sound, patting An kai on the shoulder, bringing him into the gang base. Without knowing it, An Kai had a badge with the words "Split Mountain gang member" on his chest.

"A hundred times?

"So strong?"

An Kai muttered in his heart. A hundred mages like him should be able to destroy Chaos City with some time.

Could Stage Two Spearman destroy a city?

After entering the encampment, he saw a courtyard that was nearly 1,000 square meters in size. In the middle of the courtyard was the room of the Mountain Split Gang's leader.

On both sides were the rooms for the Mountain Split Gang's group activities.

The registration room was on the right side of the Gang Leader's room.

Hanks brought An Kai along and did not stop. He ignored the sect members who were cultivating and pushed open the door to the consecrator's room.

"Master Hanks is here. Are you here to receive the tribute mission?"

An old man with a weak aura sat in the room. He had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke with a smile.

"Old man Frank, I brought you a new member and a mage at that!"

"An Kai, come!" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒏𝙚𝙩

Hanks called An Kai over.

An Kai had already put on the Rank 1 Stage 1 Mage badge on his chest. When he saw old man Frank, he revealed a shy smile.

"Unnamed Town, he's a Stage 1 Mage approved by that old man from Dong Lin!" Hanks introduced.

"Oh? So it's Mage Dong Lin's friend!

"How has Master Dong Lin been lately?"

"President was recruited by the association and went to the Capital of Buklin. I didn't have enough experience, so President Dong Lin sent me to chaos city." An Kai lied to Frank without thinking.

Frank smiled, his face expressionless.

He had already given An Kai an assessment inside his heart. 'I can't put this escapee in any important position."

Plus, He had dealt with Dong Lin before. He did not believe that the old man was so kind!

"Then, can you show me your mage ability?"

Hearing Frank's words, An Kai summoned a normal fireball in his hand.

He then threw it out and entered the courtyard through the open door.

With a light bang, a hole was created.

Seeing this, the smile on Frank's face grew wider. He extended his right hand."Welcome, Lord An Kai, to the Split Mountain Gang!"

The rest of the matter was very simple. He simply collected information about An Kai. Regarding that information, An Kai was full of lies and did not say a single word of truth.

Frank didn't mind, and it was more like he was used to it.

Not long after, the information was registered. Frank took out the Split Mountain Gang's member nameplate and handed it to An Kai.

Then, he took out 20 low-grade stones and handed them to An Kai.

And ten gold coins to Hanks: "Thank you, Master Hanks, for your contribution to the Mountain Split Gang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Frank seemed to act like he had something wrong. He revealed an apologetic expression, smiled awkwardly, and sat back in his seat.

"I'm old, I'm old. Look at what I did." Frank muttered.

If Hanks hadn't mentioned it before, his low-level method of sowing discord might have really made the two of them feel ill at ease.

Unfortunately, Hanks had said it a long time ago.

An Kai felt that this old man Frank wasn't simple.

Just the fact that he tried to sow discord between him and Hanks was interesting enough.

With the resources in their hands, An Kai and Hanks were about to leave when a series of shouts came from the courtyard.

"Damned thing, let's see how you run this time!

"I'm going to skin you alive!"

The person who shouted loudly was the Hall Master of the Resource Hall, Zhang Lang Polpi.

In his hand was a figure with dishevelled hair.

Behind Polpi, there was a mage wearing a grey mage robe and holding a magic staff. He looked up at the sky as he walked.

Every time Polpi looked at the mage, he would be very respectful.

"Polpi has this kind of impatient personality. He has a traitor of our Mountain Split Gang in his hands. We caught him once, but we didn't expect him to escape.

"It was all thanks to Master Richardson's intervention. With the strength of a Stage 1 Rank 8 mage, he successfully captured this traitor!"

Frank leaned against the window and looked around before explaining to An Kai and Hanks.

Hanks didn't care about his explanation.

It was as if the three people outside were just three ants. There was no change in their expressions.

An Kai was the same.

However, the reason why An Kai was like this was that his Mental Power was attracted by the figure with dishevelled hair.

Just now, An Kai was definitely not mistaken. He saw a ring in the mouth of the dishevelled figure!

It was exactly the same as his storage ring [Storage Ring No. 1], and the colour was the same!

This meant that it was highly possible that there was a storage ring!

"Why did he betray the Mountain Split Gang?"

An Kai turned around and asked Frank.

Frank paused for a moment and sighed.

"Because he stole from the gang. When he was guarding the warehouse, 200 gold coins were lost!"

"200 gold coins? You can't find the coins ever after capturing the culprit?!" An Kai suppressed his excitement and continued to ask.

"No. Lord An Kai, do you have a way to force a confession?"

"How is that possible? I haven't even killed a chicken before!" An Kai smiled shyly, but he had an idea about where he would get his resources.
