Chapter 36: Mask of the Pretender
Chapter 36: Mask of the Pretender
After leaving the oasis, he arrived at the place where old man Clayon had died.
After patrolling for a moment, he saw the mage staff that he had missed.
It was stuck in the desert and had lost its lustre.
Only the gem at the top of the staff was emitting a faint light.
The rest of his body parts were like black charcoal under the scorching heat of An Kai's Fireball Spell. They would shatter at the slightest touch.
Because the staff was in bad shape, there was no introduction about the staff in the system.
He sighed in his heart and took off the gem on the top of the staff.
After the gemstone was taken away, the staff itself was blown into pieces by the wind.
Putting away the gemstone, An Kai walked to the side.
First, he used Freeze to create a three-meter-long and two-meter-wide ice platform.
Then, he sat on top of it and took out all his gains from [Storage Ring No. 1].
Two storage rings and a grey mask.
One came from Sally, and the other came from the old man.
Looking at the storage ring in front of him, An Kai felt like he was opening presents.
His heart was beating fast.
After hesitating for a few seconds, An Kai decided to open Sally Buklin's storage ring first.
Sally Buklin's storage ring had a space of about six cubic meters.
Just like the other mages, the mage's various analysis books occupied a large portion of the space in the storage ring.
Other than that, there were also some interesting cultural books.
An Kai tossed and turned. Just as he was feeling bored, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Continent Language Analysis!
He quickly opened the book and finally found the answer he wanted on page 67! 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
"The language of the Kingdom of Shaq is used very frequently within the Kingdom of Shaq. Furthermore, due to his influence, some of the duchies under his jurisdiction have chosen to use the language of the Kingdom of Shaq as their main language."
Beneath these words, there was an extract of the language of the Kingdom of Shaq.
This paragraph of the language of the Shaq Kingdom had the same writing as the words An kai had obtained from the books in the mage tower!
This paragraph contained two words, An Kai had also seen those books in the Mage Tower. It was the title of the book!
According to the explanation below, the meaning of these two words was 'slaughter!"
As he continued to scroll, the introduction in the language of Shaq disappeared and was replaced by another language.
"Not bad." An Kai mumbled softly with a smile.
Now that he had a target, he knew how to find it.
It was much better than finding a needle in a haystack.
He put the book into his storage ring No. 1 and felt that he might need it in the future.
After flipping through the books, he continued to check Sally Buklin's storage ring. There was nothing of interest.
On the other hand, he found 38 low-grade sorcerer's stones.
Apart from that, there were also some of the personal clothes belonging to Sally.
There were close-fitting ones and outer-wear ones.
"Whoa, so you're wearing lace!"
An Kai clicked his tongue and left the clothes in the storage ring.
He moved the books into his storage ring No. 1.
After these books were put in, An Kai's [Storage Ring No. 1] was filled with all kinds of books.
Among them was the book he had obtained at the beginning, the book that he had been unable to open no matter what.
According to his speculation, the way to open the book should be Will Buklin or Sally Buklin.
After all, he had obtained it from the mayor of the nameless town.
This guy was related to the Buklin royal family!
However, he was not in a hurry to open it. Before figuring out the identity of the dead mayor, An Kai would not expose these things.
After sorting Sally Buklin's storage rings, An Kai clicked his tongue.
The emptiness of the storage ring further illustrated the downfall of the princess, Sally Buklin.
Although he had some guesses, he was shocked.
Fortunately, he had learned [Summon], a spell that could be developed continuously. It could be considered as making up for his losses.
According to the daily calculation,[Summoning] would only take about nine years to bring in about 3000 gold coins. After this period, it would exceed the value of Sally Buklin's bounty.
For an immortal like An Kai, the [Summoning] spell was worth it!
Thinking of this, An Kai exchanged the newly obtained 38 low-grade magic stones for skill points and added them to the spell [Summon]!
[Skill Points-38]
[Summoning proficiency +38]
[Summon Level 5-'58/60']
After sensing for a while, he confirmed that his pet summoning level had also been raised to rank 5.
An Kai is very satisfied.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could reach rank 11.
At that time, he would be able to earn two skill points a day!
It was very comfortable!
An Kai had no idea that his own summoning spell was very different from others.
After doing all this, An Kai opened Clayon's storage ring.
The space is only about three cubic meters.
As soon as he opened it, An Kai's face fell!
Because the storage ring was empty!
There was nothing!
This completely showed that Clayon, this old thing, had planned to take advantage of him from the beginning!
He did not die unjustly!
Clayon's body had been burned to ashes. If his body were still there, An Kai would have to whip his body a few times to vent his hatred!
He put away Clayon's storage ring. At this moment, there were still five storage rings in An Kai's [Storage Ring No. 1], minus the [Storage Ring No. 1] that he was wearing.
Just these storage rings alone could be sold for a good price.
An Kai opened the box and picked up the grey-white mask on the ground.
[Mask of the Pretender: Level 1]
[Rarity: Normal]
[Usage Requirement: Endurance 80, Stamina 80.]
[Remark: You will have a brand new life with it!]
The appearance of the system introduction made An Kai's eyes light up!
A [Normal] grade mask could already be called a treasure in the desert!
That old thing Dong Lin treated his staff as a treasure, and it was of [Normal] grade.
Other than its quality, An Kai cared more about its effects!
It had fallen from Clayon's body, and even his Fireball spell couldn't melt it.
It was enough to show how strong its material resistance was.
Holding it in his hand, it was as light as a pair of thin wings and slightly cold to the touch.
An Kai thought about it and put it on his face.
After putting it on, An Kai thought of how to use it.
With a thought, the face of a bearded uncle appeared on An Kai's face.
An Kai used Freeze to form a round mirror.
An Kai shone on his face.
"Haha! Widow Wang would never be able to tell the difference between me and Hanks just by looking at my face!"
[The Mask of the Pretender]'s effect comforted An Kai's mood.
The appearance of this mask was very timely and just happened to satisfy his needs.
"The old man from Rewards Tower is a good person!
"Will did a good job!"
After muttering to himself, An Kai walked towards the oasis with a smile.
Just as he took a step forward, a notification suddenly appeared.
[Attribute Point +1]
An Kai smiled. Will was just a saint!
