The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 3: I Am Immortal

Chapter 3: I Am Immortal

During the 19 consecutive days of cultivation, An Kai had no other activities other than eating, drinking, and defecating.

He checked the supplies in his house and found that there was not much left. He only had 16 copper coins left.

An Kai decided to go hunting and fishing in the desert to supplement his expenses.

It would be great if he could meet the travel merchant from last time!

After packing up, An Kai walked out of the town.

This time, when he walked into the town, many residents took the initiative to greet An Kai.

In the past, this was impossible.

The change in the residents came from An Kai's current identity as a Rank-1 Mage!

According to An Kai's year of investigation, in this era, mages were high and mighty, while warriors and wizards were lower than mages.

There were also archers, lance riders, knights, and so on. These positions were weaker than mages, warriors, and wizards.

Therefore, a stage one mage was the noblest of all the classes.

It was not surprising that the residents took the initiative to greet An Kai.

In some places, the status of mages was even higher.

After leaving the town, An Kai looked at Hanks. Behind him, the yellow horse was still there. It was priced at two low-grade Sorcerer's Stones.

After cursing the profiteer in his heart, An Kai prepared to go deep into the desert.

But Hanks called out.

"Hey! Honorable mage, look here!"

Hanks had a teasing smile on his face as he shouted at An Kai.

There was a hint of jealousy in the teasing.

An Kai stopped in his tracks and prepared to head over to Hanks' place to see what this old fellow was up to.

He had been dealing with Hanks for almost a year, and the two of them knew each other well.

"Incredible! Little Rascal had become a Mage!" Hanks pursed his lips and pretended to be envious.

An Kai smiled shyly and replied sarcastically, "Widow Wang asked me to visit her when I'm here. Hehehe."

"What?!"

Hanks seemed to have lost his mind when he heard the words " Widow Wang."

His eyes widened as if he wanted to eat An Kai up.

"Tell me, why did you stop me? Perhaps then I won't visit Widow Wang." An Kai said calmly.

Hanks originally wanted to use his information to control An Kai, but now, he was the one being controlled.

"There's going to be a war!" Hanks said unhappily.

"War?" An Kai was puzzled. What did the war have to do with him?

He frowned as he waited for Hanks to explain. Since Hanks had spoken, it meant that it had something to do with him.

"The old king of the Bucklin Duchy passed away, leaving behind five children. However, he did not make a will about who would take over his throne.

"The old king had four sons and one daughter. The fifth princess was from the Mage Association of the Bucklin Duchy.

"Moreover, the fifth princess is extremely talented. She has already become a 3rd rank Wizard at such a young age!

"And she has already obtained the support of her master, the President of the Buklin Mage Association!

"It won't be long before official mages like you will be transferred to the battlefield to fight for the fifth princess.

"Do you think this matter has anything to do with you?"

After Hanks finished speaking, he looked at An Kai, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier.

"Looking at how nasty you are, you might really be able to make a name for yourself on the battlefield. Don't forget me when the time comes ~"

Hanks winked at An Kai.

After Hanks told him the news, An Kai felt like his heart was in turmoil.

War was a meat grinder.

He didn't think that a Stage 1 mage like him would be able to stand out on the battlefield.

He was even more unwilling to sacrifice his life to fight for a princess he had never met before!

"Old man, are you telling the truth?"

Hanks folded his arms and smiled.

"I didn't go to Widow Wang's house. She's not my type."

An Kai told her about what had happened between him and Widow Wang.

Hanks' eyes lit up as his face regained its lustre.

"I have my sources of information. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Mage Association. I estimate that in the next one or two days, your old President will announce something!"

"Thank you!"

After saying thank you, An Kai broke into a run. Not long after, his figure rushed into the small town.

"He actually thanked me?" Hanks chuckled.

Then, he started to feel depressed. With the start of the internal war in the Buklin Duchy, he would have to stop doing business here.

Seeing An Kai rush into the town, Hanks started to mutter, "I'll go find Widow Wang tonight. Even if I have to use force, I have to take her away!"

.

When An Kai arrived at the Mage Association, the atmosphere was rather tense.

Just as Hanks had said, the old president had just announced the news.

He said that he would personally lead the team to the capital of the Buklin Duchy in two days to fight for the fifth princess!

The purpose of this trip was to have a bright future!

At the same time, they also announced that the town's Mage Association would be temporarily closed.

Everything could wait until the war was over.

After listening to the discussions around him, An Kai quietly left.

He returned home and tidied up.

He sat in the room, waiting for the sky to turn dark.

An Kai was ready to run.

He could tell that the old president had hung himself on his deathbed.

Wouldn't it be a joke to gamble for a bright future at his age?!

Furthermore, An Kai had no interest in this future!

His path to immortality had just begun. He was unwilling to take such a huge risk when he was weak.

An Kai was prepared to go out and hide. He would return after the war was over.

In this one year, he had also figured out some hidden places in the desert.

An Kai had also set up two hiding spots.

Thus, An Kai did not panic at all when he entered the desert.

The only problem was that the difficulty of obtaining Skill Points would increase.

However, compared to his own life, these were insignificant.

The sky was dark. An Kai carried a small package and quietly ran out of the town.

When he appeared on the street, he realized…

There was more than one person who shared his thoughts.

Like An Kai, many people carrying bags of various sizes silently ran out of the town.

Overnight, the entire town seemed to have heard the news of the war.

War was about to break out, and this border town was no longer safe.

It was better to enter the desert, which was a no man's land.

Moreover, the townspeople had lived here for many years, so they were more familiar with the desert than An Kai.

"You're hurting me!"

"Shh... I didn't mean to..."

"Hanks, you motherf * cker, how dare you kidnap me!"

"I... I'm doing this for your own good."

Not far away, Hanks, who was no longer hunchbacked, rode his yellow horse and carried Widow Wang as he galloped away.

An Kai thought to himself, 'Is this old guy for real?' After that, he pulled down the cloth covering his face and continued to rush out of the town with his head lowered.

At this moment, a breeze blew over.

After the wind passed, An Kai had a package in his arms.

On the third floor of the Mage Association.

The old president packed his bags and waited for most of the townspeople to leave. His figure was blown by a breeze as he left the Mage Association and walked into the distance.

The direction was not the Capital of the Buklin Duchy.
