The Mage of Eternity



116 Threatening Me?

An Kai walked out of the main hall of the Evergreen Gang's encampment; no, it was now the forbidden area of the Home of Kindness.

Mason was already waiting there.

"Sir, our Chaos..."

"Hmm?"

"I mean, Home of Kindness. The first batch of merchants has arrived at the entrance and is in the process of registration."

Even though it had been more than a month since Outer Chaos City had changed its name to the Home of Kindness, Mason still felt ashamed every time he said such words.

A month ago, An Kai suddenly went crazy and said that the name Chaos City was unpleasant and gave people the feeling that it was a devil's den.

He wanted to change its name.

At that time, Mason, Wayne, Hanks, and the others were quite puzzled. They thought, wasn't this place a Devil's Den?

Only Nurnisius strongly supported An Kai's idea.

In fact, it made sense. Nurnisius would strongly support any of An Kai's ideas.

In order to support An Kai, this dog had harmed his subordinates. It was not the first time that Mason had heard this dog say that the bones under his hands were delicious.

The man and the beast split the food very reasonably. An Kai ate the meat, and Nurnisius ate the bones.

With support, An Kai was full of motivation. After careful selection, the Outer Chaos City was finally renamed as the "House of Kindness".

After changing its name, it officially represented a complete separation from the inner city.

From now on, House of Kindness would no longer be a part of Chaos City.

However...

The name "House of Kindness" was too...

Every time Mason thought of the new city's name, and what An Kai and the others had done, an inexplicable sense of shame would spread throughout his body.

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, a soft shout sounded in Mason's ear. He quickly came back to his senses and realized that An Kai was staring at him.

"I'm thinking that this caravan could have come from the seven countries to come to... House of Kindness. Their guard should be very strong!"

"Oh? You don't look stupid."

Hearing An Kai's praise, Mason smiled awkwardly. After spending a few months with An Kai, he had long understood An Kai's personality.

A sharp tongue... and a cool heart.

The caravan was indeed escorted by strong people. An Kai had seen from the side quest that there were several Stage 4 and dozens of Stage 3 adventurers escorting it.

Whether or not there was a Stage 5, he wasn't sure.

An Kai didn't go to welcome the caravan immediately. He was waiting for the side quest to refresh.

He had to make sure that there were no Stage 5 adventurers trying to ambush him.

Standing in the shadows of the courtyard, Mason looked at An Kai, who didn't explain. He also stayed silent at the side.

In the courtyard, other than Wayne studying magic in the next

room, only Nurnisius, who was gnawing on a bone, was still making sounds.

After a moment of silence, An Kai asked about the fate of those messengers. Today was also the last day of the rule given to them. 

"How many of them have returned?"

"They're all back, but no one brought back the ransom money. Instead, there are quite a number of spies."

Mason recalled his previous experience and sneered. A group of spies who weren't even stage 5 were playing such a trick in front of a stage 5 assassin like him?

Ha!

"There's no rush to pay the ransom. These nobles think they are powerful. They won't easily pay the ransom unless they have no other choice."

An Kai didn't ask what happened to those spies. Since Mason was standing here, it meant that those spies had all died in a foreign land and stayed in the desert forever.

It was within An Kai's expectations that no one brought back the ransom.

How could a high-ranking noble force, who had been in power for so long, give in so easily just because of a letter and a finger from their direct line of descent?

Therefore, An Kai was not surprised that they did not bring back the ransom.

He would get the ransom sooner or later, or he could get it many times.

All he needed to do was spend some time.

Coincidentally, what he lacked the least was time.

He didn't believe that these aristocratic forces would still be indifferent if he gave them eight or ten fingers!

In the courtyard, Mason looked at An Kai's thoughtful expression and felt a little strange.

When the caravan arrived, wasn't he going to take a look?

He turned around and thought that this guy always did things strangely, so Mason retracted his thoughts.

An Kai wasn't in a hurry, and neither was he. He simply released his mind and waited for An Kai's instructions.

Mason's eyes started to turn dull.

This was also the change that came with Mason's arrival.

From the icy face of the past, he had become a Stage 5 [Assassin] with rich expressions.

About ten minutes later.

[Side Quest] refreshed.

An Kai opened it immediately and quickly browsed through the information.

At the top of the list were the things that the dragons and dragon knights had to say, as well as the bewitched Mage Association, which had wreaked havoc in the world in search of the Archmage who had died somewhere.

There were also some other changes that occurred under these two changes.

All of them were presented in the [Side Story].

Normally, An Kai would be interested in these things and would treat them as stories.

When eating and resting, he could use it to kill his leisure time.

However, An Kai wasn't interested in learning about this now. He quickly scrolled through the [Side Story] and finally found the answer he wanted at the [96th] Side Story.

[96: The caravan of the seven countries of the desert formed a joint caravan. They brought the specialities of their respective countries, as well as food and resources, to the "House of Kindness" in the desert. They were prepared to slaughter the barbarians here!

[As the 'House of Kindness' had a large number of barbarians and the desert environment was harsh, the caravan spent a lot of money to hire a team of guards. On the surface, they were mainly Stages 3 and 4, but secretly, there was a Stage 5 mage who joined them halfway. This was their trump card, and it was also the reason why this caravan had the confidence to face the 'House of Kindness' barbarians.

[The strange thing is that this level 5 adventurer seems to have some undead aura on his body.]

"Undead?!"

Seeing this message, An Kai's breathing stopped!

There was only one place in the entire desert and the surrounding seven countries that had Stage 5 Undead!

- Undead Town!

An Kai had never doubted the accuracy of the side quest.

An Kai's personal experiences proved the accuracy of it.

Now, there was a Stage five adventurer with the aura of the undead in this caravan. It was difficult for An Kai not to think about it.

The Undead Town had disappeared from the Seven Nations for a long time, and he never expected that old thing Dong Lin would actually set his sights on the House of Kindness.

At this moment, An Kai thought of many things.

If Dong Lin himself had come, he wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have immediately fled.

After all, that old thing was an existence that could bring disaster to the seven countries. An Kai was not powerful enough to deal with him.

If it were any other Stage 5 Undead from the Undead Town, Ankai's eyes would be filled with a fierce light.

"Mason, in a sneak attack, what kind of strength can you deal with at most?"

"What's wrong?" Mason, who was in a daze, suddenly heard An Kai's question about his strength. After thinking about it for a while, he said conservatively," Probably Rank 3 of Stage 5."

"Alright." An Kai nodded slightly and whispered," Come over here. I have something for you to do."

At the entrance of the House of Kindness.

Dong Lin was following the caravan and registering his entry into the city.

The caravan that came this time not only brought a large amount of resources and food but also many books on knowledge, such as profession analysis.

There were also some magic stones that they brought along.

In the Seven Kingdoms, the magic Stone was a prohibited item.

In this desert, it was not a prohibited item.

Dong Lin was dressed in a black robe. He chuckled as he looked at the House of Kindness.

The streets were clean, the houses were orderly, and there were many pedestrians in a hurry.

Dong Lin was extremely satisfied with all of this.

He liked crowded places, and he preferred places with order.

The undead that were transformed from this place were easier to manage than the undead from other places.

Unfortunately, he was unable to convert this city today.

It wasn't his true body that had come here. If he wanted to transform, he would have to wait until Dong Lin's true body came out of seclusion.

After registering, Dong Lin followed the caravan into the city. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

"Eh?" he said softly with a smile. 

"It's actually you."

"Long time no see. I didn't expect the two of you to really be together. Why didn't you ask an old man like me to have a drink?"

A faint ripple emanated from Dong Lin's body. Just as he was about to search for the source of the sound, he was violently dispersed by a powerful force.

"Hmph!" Dong Lin suddenly grunted. "We are old friends meeting again. Is this how you treat an old man?"

"Sigh. You misunderstand me too much. I'm saving them."

Dong Lin stood where he was and waved his hand, indicating for the caravan to leave first. He then stopped at the entrance of the House of Kindness.

He continued to mutter to himself with an unchanging expression." Don't worry. I'm just taking money from them to protect them. Besides, this is just an ordinary clone of mine. Its strength is weak. Are you worried that I'll cause trouble?"

"Sigh. This is all a misunderstanding. The fall of their kingdoms and duchies was caused by themselves. What does it have to do with me, Dong Lin?"

"As everyone knows, I, Dong Lin, love peace the most!"

"Threaten me? Although I'm just a clone, it's not a problem for me to drag you out. Do you want to try?"

"A hidden Stage 5, huh... Haha"

At this point, Dong Lin's expression turned solemn. He felt that this old friend of his didn't know what was good for him and was pushing his luck.

After about two minutes, a soft voice rang out in Dong Lin's ears. He smiled." Alright, I'll do as you say. I won't probe any further."

After saying that, Dong Lin tugged at his black coat and hat. Just as he said, he withdrew his scouting and continued walking into the city.

As he walked, he did not forget to mumble softly, "You haven't had any children even after so long? I wonder whose problem it is."

Bang!

Suddenly, a soft sound rang out from Dong Lin's shoulder.

"Fine." Dong Lin's expression remained unchanged as he patted away the shattered bone powder on his shoulder." I won't say anything," he said softly.

Then, he rummaged through his black robe and took out a new bone from his storage ring, pressing it on his shoulder.

He continued to walk into the city.

"My lord! My lord! The latest detector is unique to House of Kindness. Do you want one?" 

At this moment, a young man with a simple and honest face suddenly ran over from the side of the street. He held a detector in his hand and ran towards Dong Lin.

"Detector?"

Dong Lin muttered. He had long heard of this unique detector.

However, he had been wandering around the seven countries and busy saving the world. He had not had the chance to obtain a detector for a while.

"I'll get one." Dong Lin smiled as he looked at the guy running toward him.
