The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 17: This Mission Is Very Difficult!

Chapter 17: This Mission Is Very Difficult!

Chaos city, reward tower.

It was still that cold beauty.

An Kai handed her the ten Desert Crocodile heads that he had taken out in advance.

Because they were intact, he even received a compliment from the cold beauty.

An Kai had no reaction to this.

That woman was probably thinking too much if she wanted him to be grateful just because of a compliment.

While the cold beauty was preparing the reward, An Kai took a few more fierce glances.

He had enjoyed himself.

Not long after, An Kai took ten gold coins and left the Rewards Tower with Hanks.

Before heading to the Mage Tower, An Kai was led by Hanks to a shop that sold food and meat.

He spent five gold coins to fill up the storage ring.

The things he bought might only cost a few silver coins outside the desert.

However, in the desert, the price was higher.

Even the prices there were reasonable.

An Kai had already made plans. After leaving the Mage Tower, he would return to his residence in the oasis to cultivate in seclusion.

After digesting the resources, he would exit seclusion.

His lifespan was unlimited, so he had to quickly raise his strength to match it.

Otherwise, he would not be able to live a comfortable life.

"Not waiting? Or rest for a day?"

Hanks couldn't help but comfort An Kai.

"Rest for what? You're already so old. You might die one day. How can you have so much time to wait?" An Kai replied very frankly.

His words made him choke again.

His mouth opened.

He could not help but swear in his heart, 'I'll settle the score with you after you come out of the Mage Tower!'

Hanks knew that An Kai was taking revenge on him for hiding the info about the previous mission.

From this, it could be seen that An Kai was still a child.

Hanks suddenly felt relieved.

"Why should I fight with a child?"

Hanks put on a warm smile again after thinking it through. He brought An Kai and walked towards the Mages Tower.

The two left chaos city and headed north.

They stopped and walked for three days.

A huge lake suddenly appeared in front of An Kai!

The lake occupied about ten hectares.

"We're here."

Hanks pointed at the lake." The Mage Tower is right below the lake. This place used to be a desert. I suspect that the energy of the Mage Tower leaked out, forming this lake.

"In the past ten years, this land was covered in torrential rain every day.

"After ten years, this lake was formed, and Mage Tower is right in the middle of the lake.

"By the way, can you swim?"

An Kai knew how to swim.

However, he knew that Hanks must have made thorough preparations.

Shaking his head, he said honestly, "No!"

Hanks looked at An Kai. He knew that this kid was lying.

He had no choice. He was the one who needed An Kai's help now.

He rubbed his chest and took out a dark brown bead.

[Water Repellant Pearl: Lv0]

[Rarity: None]

[Usage Requirement: None]

[Remark: An ordinary pearl that allows you to breathe freely in the water for an hour.]

An Kai took it without hesitation.

Then, he walked towards the lake without looking back.

With a plop, he plunged into the lake.

An Kai's thoughts were very simple. He wanted to complete it as soon as possible and go into seclusion as soon as possible.

Seeing An Kai disappear into the lake, Hanks heaved a sigh of relief.

He sat down and waited.

As long as he could obtain the letter, Hanks would receive a reward that was no less valuable than the resources in the Mage Tower.

Similarly, this was also a reward that could not be bought with any amount of money!

Otherwise, why would he be so generous?

.

There was not a single creature in the huge lake.

The surface of the lake looked blue, but in reality, it was extremely dark.

Fortunately, he had the Water Repellent Pearl. It took An Kai more than ten minutes to see the Mage Tower rooted at the bottom of the lake!

The Mage Tower had a total of three floors, and there were faint magic waves on the surface. It was dark brown in colour, the same colour as the Water Repellent Pearl in his hand.

In this dark lake, if he had not sensed the weak spell fluctuations, An Kai would have missed it easily.

He quickly swam to the entrance of the first floor of the mage tower, sensed it, and experimented a few times.

After confirming that there was no danger, An Kai stepped into the Mage Tower!

After he entered, the lake instantly surged!

In just a moment, the lake that occupied more than ten hectares disappeared!

The Mage Tower also sank underground.

Hanks, who was resting in the desert, felt a tremor.

He quickly got up and watched as the lake, and the Mage Tower disappeared.

" What's going on?!"

Hanks looked at the empty desert, his face full of surprise.

.

Passing through the mage tower was like passing through to a different world.

After entering, it was a place that was as bright as day!

The first floor was not big, only a little over a hundred square meters.

However, it was filled with books and some dried glass bottles.

[Ruined Mage Tower: Level 22]

[Grade: Top Grade]

[Usage Requirement: Intelligence 500/Heir of the Mage Tower]

[Remark: If you want to leave the abandoned mage tower after it is activated, you can only obtain its inheritance rights or wait for ten years before it opens automatically.]

[Abandoned Mage Tower Inheritance Mission 1: Activated due to Intelligence 40.]

[Mission Hint: After completing the mission, you will have a chance to leave the mage tower once.]

The system notifications that appeared in front of An Kai's eyes made him slightly stunned. The system basically gave him a guide.

After taking a few deep breaths, An Kai felt that he had made the right bet!

A top-grade mage tower. This was the highest grade An Kai had ever seen.

His [Meditation Staff] was a high-grade one, and above it was an excellent-grade one. After that, it was a top-grade one!

As for top-grade items, they had one thing in common, and that was they would emit light!

The Mage Tower was dark brown in colour, and the light it emitted was also dark brown. This explained why the blue lake was so dark.

When he was playing the game in his previous life, he still remembered that God mage's staff was shining brightly!

The players couldn't open their eyes.

An Kai guessed that the item's glow was not just to show that it was of the highest quality.

It was very likely that there were other reasons!

He would only understand the reason for all of this after he obtained the Mage Tower.

The first trial mission required 40 points of Intelligence to activate.

At this moment, An Kai was extremely glad that he had stored supplies in advance so that he would not starve to death here.

Then, he looked around the first floor and found a soft blanket.

He sat cross-legged on the blanket and began meditating.

.

A hundred days later.

An Kai ended his meditation.

[Attribute Point +1]

Without hesitation, he added it to his Intelligence attribute.

[Intelligence +1]

[Intelligence: 40]

[Abandoned Mage Tower Inheritance Mission 1: Increase Intelligence, Endurance, Stamina, and Strength to 50 points within a year!

[Hint: This quest is very difficult! But don't give up! As a mage, a weak body is your weakness!]
