Immortal Mage: I Just Have To Wait It Out - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Breaking Through to the Magister Realm!

Crescent Moon Mountain was 1,000 meters tall. There was an extremely wide platform and a clear lake at the top.

This also led to people living on the top of the mountain, and there were many of them.

In the past, Crescent Moon Mountain was used as a summer resort. There were many tourists, but the number was limited.

Now that it had been chosen as the venue for the competition, the number of people had soared.

Looking down from above, the road from the foot of the mountain to the top was filled with people, densely packed like moving ants.

Some of these people were dressed in glamorous clothes, while others had holes in their clothes and pants.

No matter how rugged the mountain path was, when they looked at the competition notice and rewards in their hands, their eyes seemed to shine as they looked at the top of the mountain.

“Boss? Aren’t you going to receive the guests?”

Outside a two-story building that looked like a restaurant, three travel-worn figures walked in and shouted.

“This old man isn’t deaf.”

A cough attracted the three people’s attention. They turned around and saw an old man staggering out.

The burly man in his thirties frowned slightly.

“Are you the boss here?”

Ye Tian, who was wearing old makeup, glanced at him.

“What’s the problem?”

The burly man smiled faintly and said, “I’m sorry. I’m just curious. Can you take care of such a big shop alone? And you…”

Cough cough…

Ye Tian clenched his fist and placed it by his mouth. After a while, he reached out and pointed at a pillar stuck to the wooden tablet.

The three of them looked away.

On the wooden sign, it was written that this shop was self-service. He had to rely on himself to eat and drink. They would only provide ingredients.

A restaurant that allows customers to cook their own meals?

The strange rules stunned the three of them. The burly man who had asked earlier immediately realized why the old man could run a shop alone.

“Go?”

The burly man turned to look at his two companions.

One of them was tall, and the other was short.

They looked burly, and their clothes were very tight on their bodies. Their expressions revealed the fatigue of a long journey.

The tall man looked hesitant.

“We’ve asked about five shops, and they’re all full. The top of the mountain is only so big. The other shops might not necessarily have empty rooms.”

After all, Crescent Moon Mountain was a mountain peak. Its area was not as large as flat ground, and there were not many shops that could be opened.

It was barely enough to receive some guests who came to escape the summer, but it was inevitably crowded with participants from all over the country.

Along the way, many people did not have money and even looked for clean areas to set up tents.

The short man smiled and said, “Forget it, I’ll do it myself. Anyway, I’m already used to it along the way, but without a soft bed, I can’t guarantee that I can adjust my competing state.”

With the result, the burly man went to look for Ye Tian and asked for three rooms. During this period of time, Ye Tian listened to the three of them quietly and was not anxious at all.

He accepted the money according to the rules and told the three of them the corresponding room number.

It was evening, and there were many people staying in the hotel.

“Sigh…”

Sighing, Ye Tian looked at the busy crowd quietly.

After leaving the capital, he traveled to many places and also returned to Rock Town to take a look. Perhaps it was because he missed her after seeing her, or perhaps it was because things had changed.

Ye Tian did not continue to stay in Rock Town.

Instead, he walked around and chose Crescent Moon Mountain.

He built a two-story building here and continued living.

At that time, in order to live a peaceful life, he specially set a rule. Reality proved that many people who could come to Crescent Moon Mountain to avoid the summer were indeed not those who could take action.

The three of them were the first to arrive at the shop. After a while, the three of them carried their food to the hall on the first floor. Most of the seats had already been taken, so they chose a table not far from Ye Tian. Ye Tian merely glanced at them and was in a daze. “Today should be the busiest day in this shop.”

As soon as he sat down, the tall man could not help but complain. He had clearly paid, but he still had to do it himself.

The burly man knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks and glared at him.

“Cut it out. We’re here to compete, not to cause trouble.”

The short man also persuaded, “We’ve survived such a long journey. Bear with it a little longer. When the competition is over, we’ll have a good life.”

After that, the tall man did not lose his temper.

He ate and drank.

After three rounds of wine, the food on the table was emptied.

Putting down his chopsticks, the tall man said weakly, “I didn’t expect a competition to attract so many people. I feel that I’m not strong enough.”

Gulp- As if resonating, the short man picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp.

“To tell you the truth, my heart has been beating like a drum. However, I’m already here.

It’s such a long journey. How can I be willing to not try my luck?”

His words were mixed with a thick local accent.

It was obvious that he had come from a place far away from Maple Forest City. The burly man was in better shape than the two of them. He smiled and comforted his two companions.

At this moment, the tall man waved his hand.

“Actually, it might not be useful to get a ranking in the competition.”

In an instant, the burly man and the short man looked at him inquisitively.

Could it be that there was more to the competition?

If that was the case, they had no choice but to accept reality.

In front of the Empire, personal strength was nothing.

Without waiting for the two of them to urge him, the tall man lowered his voice and slowly explained, “Actually, I occasionally hear a rumor. I can’t say for sure how accurate it is, but don’t spread it.”

“It’s said that Ricks, who once displayed his skills in the capital, is about to come out of seclusion. This time, he’s at least at the level of a Magister.”

“One of his disciples seems to have been killed a few years ago. This time, he will definitely find someone to take revenge.’ “But the Empire is so big. If he wants to find someone, how is it the most convenient?” Monarch!

The burly man and the short man had the same thought.

If that person really wanted to seek revenge, he would definitely look for the Empire’s help. Then, he would need the Monarch’s permission.

If Ricks really had the strength of a Magister, there was no one in the Empire who could resist him… No, that was not right. There was also Mage Ye Tian… Unfortunately, no one knew where he was now.

This time, the burly man’s mood became low.

Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what the tall man said. If the Monarch had a conflict with a Magister and the country was gone, so what if they achieved good results in the competition?

The three of them did not seem to have the desire to continue chatting. After drinking the wine on the table, they walked back to their rooms in silence.

Behind the counter, Ye Tian’s eyes were dazed as though he was reminiscing. Ricks… This name seemed to have not been mentioned for many years, and he was still alive.

In fact, he was about to break through to become a Magister.

Interesting, interesting. It would depend on the situation. If he really came to look for Ye Tian, he would have to let him experience the power of the people.
