Chapter 003: Laozi and the Pursuit of Immortality

Hey! Esteemed Master Mage, look here!

Fighting? An Kai felt puzzled; what does fighting have to do with him?

Many individuals burdened with large and small packages, like An Kai, silently ran towards the outskirts of the town

He furrowed his brows, waiting for Hanks to clarify. Since Hanks had spoken, it indicated that there was a certain connection between them

Ankai, with a calm demeanor, speaks without haste

Hanks' eyes lit up, and his face regained its radiance

After inspecting the supplies at home, there are not many left, and I only have 16 copper coins remaining

Subsequently, he also began to feel melancholy as the Civil War in Brooklyn commenced, and his business here would have to come to a halt

In some places, the status of magicians is even higher and more exaggerated

After Hanks conveyed this news, Ankai felt as if a storm was raging within him

Upon leaving the town, Ankai glanced at Hanks. Behind him, the yellow horse remained, priced at two low-grade magic stones.

He is even less willing to fight and sacrifice his life for a princess he has never met

I have my sources. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Mage Association. It is expected that in the next day or two, your former president will come out to mobilize.

During the continuous 19 days of training, An Kai engaged in no other activities apart from eating and drinking

You hurt me

Ankai muttered, "Is the old man serious?" After that, he pulled down the cloth covering his face and continued to rush out of the small town with his head down

Ankai paused his steps, preparing to head over to Hanks to see what this old fellow was up to

At such an age, pursuing a bright future, isn't that just a joke?

Overnight, it seemed that the entire town had learned of the news about the impending war

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew in

War is a meat grinder

but was stopped by Hanks

Ankai has also arranged two places for hiding

After silently cursing the "shameless merchant," An Kai was preparing to venture deeper into the desert

Moreover, the residents of the town have lived here for many years, and in the midst of the desert, they are somewhat more familiar than Ankai

According to Ankai's year-long investigation, it is understood that in the current era, mages have ascended to a position of great prominence, while warriors and sorcerers are regarded as inferior to mages

When Ankai arrived at the Mage Association, the atmosphere was quite tense

He returned home and tidied up briefly

Speak up, what is it that you want from me? After you tell me, I will inform you whether I went with *Tu* to pry open the widow Wang's window.

However, compared to one's own life, these are all trivial matters

Before long, you formal mages will be summoned to the battlefield to fight for Her Highness, the Fifth Princess

Everything will be discussed after the war ends

"You actually said thank you to me?" Hanks chuckled.

After the wind passed, there was an additional package in Ankai's embrace

Thus, the first-level mage is the most noble profession among the first-level careers

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

I see you have a sly look in your eyes; perhaps on the battlefield, you might actually make a name for yourself. When that time comes, don't forget about me

Hanks, how dare you kidnap me, just wait!

Beneath this teasing, there lies a deeply hidden sense of jealousy

Thank you

Incredible! That rascal has now become a master wizard!" Hanks said, smacking his lips and pretending to be envious.

Hanks made a face at Ankai

Laozi seeks immortality; are you willing to sacrifice your life to fight?

Staring wide-eyed, as if wanting to devour An Kai.

What!

I... I am doing this for your own good...

I did not go to Widow Wang's house and * pictures * books, she is not my type

It would be wonderful if we could encounter the same travel merchant as last time

After tidying up briefly, An Kai walked towards the outskirts of the town

His path to immortality has just begun, and he is unwilling to bear great risks while still weak

It is not surprising that the residents actively greet Ankai

It was only when he appeared on the street that one realized ... ...

This line is intended to seek a bright future

The sky was dim, and An Kai quietly ran towards the outskirts of the town, carrying a small package on his back

Old fellow, are your words reliable?

As An Kai rushed into the town, Hanks began to mutter: "Tonight, I will go find Widow Wang. Even if I have to use force, I will take her away!"

Upon hearing the words "Widow Wang," Hanks seemed to lose all sense of reason.

... ...

As Hanks mentioned, the former president has just initiated the mobilization

He has been dealing with Hanks for nearly a year, and the two have come to know each other quite well

It is better to enter the desert, where it is an area of no man's land.

A notice has also been issued that the Town Mage Association will be temporarily closed

Hanks wore a teasing smile as he shouted at An Kai

He stated that he would personally lead the team, and two days later, he would take them to the capital of the Duchy of Brooklyn to fight for the Duke and the Bookmaster

After throwing out a word of thanks, An Kai took off running, and before long, his figure dashed into the small town

Hanks originally intended to use his information to manipulate Ankai, but now, it turns out that he has become the one being manipulated

Hanks smiled with his arms crossed

Only the acquisition of skill points will increase in difficulty

This future, whoever wants it can have it, anyway he does not want it

And she has also received the support of her master, who is the president of the Brooklyn Mage Association

The Mage Association, Level 3

He realized that the old president was like an old birthday star hanging himself, having lived to the end

It is about to go to war, this border town is no longer safe

Over the course of this year, he has also gained an understanding of certain areas within the desert

Do you think this matter has anything to do with you

The old king has four sons and one daughter, among whom the fifth princess hails from the Mage Association of the Duchy of Brooklyn

Ankai decided to go hunting and fishing in the desert to supplement the household income

Ankai revealed the matter between himself and Widow Wang

Sitting indoors, waiting for nightfall to arrive

Moreover, the Fifth Princess, possessing exceptional talent, has already become a Third-Level Mage at such a young age

The direction is not the capital of Brooklyn

"It's time for battle!" Hanks said irritably, adding... and books

Ankai is preparing to flee

The former president packed the parcel and, after waiting for most of the townsfolk to leave, his figure was gently stirred by a breeze as he exited the Mage Association, walking towards the distance

After Hanks finished speaking, he looked at An Kai, whose expression was becoming increasingly grim, and felt a sense of relief in his heart

Ankai is preparing to go into hiding, waiting for the war to end before returning

The changes in the residents stem from Ankai's current identity as a First-Level Mage

This was an impossible task in the past

The Duchy of Brooklyn, the old king has passed away, leaving behind five children, yet no will has been established. Who will succeed to his throne

Not far away, the once stooped Hanks, riding a yellow horse and carrying Widow Wang, galloped away swiftly

During this visit to the town, many residents took the initiative to greet An Kai

After listening to the discussions of those around him, An Kai quietly withdrew

He does not believe that as a first-level mage, he can stand out on the battlefield

There is more than one person who shares the same opinion as him

Ankai smiled shyly and responded in a sarcastic tone: "Widow Wang invited me to her house to pry open the window, hehe..."

Thus, entering the desert, An Kai is not at all anxious

There are also archers, cavalrymen, knights, and so on, whose positions and status are inferior to those of mages, warriors, and sorcerers
