The Mage of Eternity - Chapter 102
102 Freeloading?
This was what An Kai had planned for the city to look like in the future.
Therefore, he was willing to give Hanks 10% of the tax. This was already a huge concession, given their past friendship.
If it were Sally Buklin or Will Buklin, who had interacted with An Kai before, An Kai would not have given them this 10%.
One was whether the two of them would be able to open up trade between the outer chaos city and the seven countries… An Kai was still doubtful about this.
Although they were the princes and princesses of the Buklin Duchy, they were not the princes and princesses of the seven kingdoms.
On the other hand, Will Buklin was still considered better. Because of the uniqueness of his profession, An Kai still had some trust in him.
Sally Buklin was eliminated from An Kai’s mind. An Kai would never cooperate with her for a deal worth millions or tens of millions of gold coins.

Therefore, the fact that Hanks was the one who was designated on the business trip showed how much An Kai trusted him!
If An Kai’s trust level in others was 0.1, then Hanks’ trust level was at least 1.0.
Of course, the maximum trust level could be 100.
After Mason, An Kai exchanged 5000 of the 6000 low-grade magic stones Hanks had given him for skill points.
According to Hanks, there were still 5000 magic stones left, and An Kai would have to wait until Hanks returned to get the rest.
This statement made An Kai even more certain that he needed to look for a new way to exchange gold coins and magic gems.
[Skill Points +5000]
[Skill Points: 5999]
An Kai was relieved that he was one more skill point away from 6000.
Then, he chose to use 200 low-grade magic stones to replenish the Mage Tower’s energy.
[Razor’s Mage Tower’s energy +20%.]
[Razor’s Mage Tower Energy: 100%(80%+20%)]
“10 low-grade magic stones for 1% energy?
“Not bad.”
An Kai appreciated the defensive effect of [Razor’s Mage Tower]. It consumed 20% of its energy to block a fatal blow from a Tier 5 [Raider] like Mason. This kind of equipment was rare.
Sitting in the main hall, the arrangements had been made.
Including Wayne, An Kai also arranged for him to study the Wind Blade Technique next door.
In Wayne’s words, in a few days, he would be able to study the Wind Blade spell to the point that even apprentice mages could use it.
An Kai was looking forward to this.
A few days ago, when An Kai communicated with Wayne, he had already confirmed that the spells in his hands were not the same as the spells conventional mages knew.
He had thought about the reason himself. It might have something to do with his four attributes.
Not only was it balanced, but it was also much higher than those of the same level.
From what he remembered, the Mage class only gained 9 attribute points for every level up in Stage 1.
Warriors, on the other hand, would only gain 8 attribute points for every level up in Stage 1.
All in all, for some traditional professions, the attribute points they received for every level up were not much compared to An Kai.
On the other hand, according to the level of his spells, every level of his spells required 40 attribute points!
After all, his four attributes were balanced.
Of course, other than the four attributes, An Kai also estimated that it was because his levelling up didn’t involve the Archmage.
In the entire East Continent and even the God’s Punishment Continent, An kai was probably the only mage who could bypass the Archmage God to cast spells.
After listening for a moment, Wayne was still talking about the Wind Blade Technique. It was a detail that An Kai didn’t understand. However, from his speed and tone, it could be heard that this guy was very excited.
Perhaps it was just as he had said. In a few days, he would be able to develop the Wind Blade Technique for everyone to study.
Looking at the hot courtyard outside, An Kai suddenly felt that everything was better.
With a thought, he used [Summon] and summoned the [Withered Tree Man: level 23.] Then, he held the Brute Force Staff and directly attacked the core of the Withered Tree Man.
He searched through it, but there were no magic cores.
“What bad luck!”
He cursed, and a fireball appeared out of thin air, burning the [Withered Tree Man] into ashes.
This scene caused Nursisius, who was guarding the courtyard, to feel a chill run down his spine when he inadvertently looked at An Kai. He shuddered and muttered, “Tomorrow. Summon that guy over tomorrow to make Boss happy.”
In the hall, An kai heard Nurnisius’ murmurs and casually threw out ten low-grade magic stones.
They landed right in front of Nurnisius.
“You should get stronger too.”
“Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss!”
Nurnisius quickly stood up and thanked him profusely, though he had no use for magical stone.
In the hall, An Kai returned a gentle smile and casually cast a [Frost], sealing the door of the hall.
Then, with a thought, [Razor’s Mage Tower] appeared from his body and covered An kai’s figure before disappearing underground.
The next day.
An Kai reappeared in the main hall of the Evergreen Clan’s encampment from the Mage Tower.
A night of rest and [Meditation] allowed him to obtain an attribute point.
He added it to his endurance.
[Endurance +1]
[Endurance: 525]
Then, he took out the [Beast Meat Refining Platform] with [Enhancement +5] and ordered Nurnisius to go to the Evergreen Sect’s reserve and get two pieces of fresh demon beast hind leg meat.
He took out two low-grade magic stones and placed them on the [Beast Meat Refining Platform]. In an instant, the magic stones turned into powder and melted into the hind leg meat.
In just a moment.
The beast meat was strengthened by the [Beast Meat Refining Platform].
[Strengthened hind leg meat +5: Level 1]
[Rarity: Normal]
[Remark: Don’t eat too much of the strengthened beast meat. Be careful not to be stuffed.]
The [Beast Meat Refining Platform] was strengthened to [+5], and the meat that was strengthened by it also appeared to be of [+5] grade.
Coincidentally, it could satisfy An Kai’s current appetite.
He picked up the meat, one in each hand.
An Kai looked at Nurnisius, who was staring at him. “What’s the matter?”
Nurnisius was stunned. ‘So you prepared both pieces of meat for yourself?’
Nurnisius’s black face revealed an awkward smile. “No. It’s nothing.”
As he finished speaking, Nurniasius turned his head back three times with every step he took and walked out of the hall.
Just as he reached the door, An Kai’s voice suddenly sounded behind it. “Wait a minute.”
Nurnisius paused. He knew that An Kai had him in his heart.
As soon as he turned around, he saw An Kai throwing two bone sticks at him.
“Eat these. There’s no need to thank me.”
Looking at the two bone sticks in front of him, Nurniasius did not know what to feel.
He was a dignified dragon. When had he fallen to such a state?
Looking at Ankai’s expression, Nurnisius hesitated for a second before grabbing a bone stick and biting it.
He whimpered, “Thank you. Boss.”
Seeing Nurnisius leave, An Kai was very satisfied.
In his memory, this was how he raised pets in his previous life.
After the owner ate the meat, the pet was fed the bone.
Stretching his body, An Kai listened to Wayne’s spell research progress for a moment before leaving the hall.
Today, he was prepared to enter the outer chaos city to check on the integration of the original city residents and the outsiders.
After all, these people’s living conditions were related to his personal interests in the future.
If the new residents could not survive, An Kai would intervene and provide them with a relatively comfortable environment.
Then, he would press down hard.
Thinking of this, An Kai smiled lightly.
In this chaotic world, it was reasonable for him to provide a stable place for people to live and receive some small rewards in return.
When he passed by Nurnisius, he did not even raise his head and was munching on the bone stick.
An Kai walked out of the Evergreen Clan’s encampment. His face was that of Hanks’ father.
Walking along the streets, after walking for about half an hour, on the west side of outer chaos city, there were some people gathered.
An Kai walked over with his aged steps.
He pushed aside the crowd and saw the scene inside.
Among them, the knight Polpi, who did not have a mount, brought a few lackeys and cursed at the five refugees who had escaped from the seven kingdoms in front of him.
“Dog, our City Lord is protecting you, and you don’t even want to pay the cost of being protected? And you’ve been running away time and time again?!
“Do you really think our City Lord is doing charity?”
The five city residents who were prostrating on the ground lowered their heads and sobbed softly. “Sir. We really don’t have any money left.”
“No money?”
Polpi’s eyes widened, and he continued to shout, “There are a total of five houses allocated to you. You can squeeze into one and sell or rent the remaining four. Isn’t that money?!
“I think you guys just don’t want to give us the money!
“Do you intend to be a freeloader? I’ll f * cking kill you!”
