Chapter 88 - 88 Resist Outside and Stabilize Inside?
88 Resist Outside and Stabilize Inside?
Hanks, who had returned to the outer Chaos City, would never have thought that his every move would be seen by An Kai.
He had wanted to take advantage of An Kai’s absence to monopolize the protection fees.
Unexpectedly, his actions had long been determined by An Kai as: Helping him (An Kai) to search for resources.
An Kai had already made up his mind. After leaving the Mage Tower, he would head to the outer Chaos City as soon as possible to ask Hanks for his share.
After all, the two of them had already agreed to 80 – 20, An Kai 8, and Hanks 2.
As for Hanks’ actions that were not beneficial to An Kai, such as refusing to give it, going back on his word, and not keeping his word.
An Kai did not panic. He did not believe that Hanks’ bones could be stronger than his [Brute Force Staff].
After he finished reading the side quest, he also finished trying [Enhancement].
[Enhancement failed]
This was the 53rd time An Kai had seen the system notification in one night.
That night, An Kai strengthened the Water Repellent Bead to +5, including his Storage Ring No. 1 and Storage Ring No. 2.
It was only at this point that no matter how hard An Kai tried, he could not reach the [+6] requirement of the Mage Tower.
Although [Enhancement Failed] would not cause such a disgusting thing as a negative enhancement, the low-grade sorcerer’s stone would definitely disappear.
That night, An Kai was just like the whales in his previous life.
He kept pushing.
Unfortunately, even after wasting 53 low-grade magic stones, he still did not succeed.
Looking at the remaining 4710 low-grade magic stones, An Kai muttered, “I can’t, I don’t have many left.”
Although it seemed like he had a lot of magic stones and magic nuclei, that was not the case. An Kai needed 3000 skill points to level up his spells in all aspects. No, if he included [Forging], he would need 3600 skill points.
Letting out a long sigh, An Kai decided to put aside the third mission required by the mage tower.
He still focused on increasing his attribute points with [Meditation].
When he was free, he would come back to [Enhancement] to experiment with other items.
With a thought, he used [Summon].
A light flashed.[Ground Thorny Worm: 21] appeared.
Then, he skillfully slapped it to death and took out the monster’s core.
[Rank 3 Magic Core +1]
[Rank 3 Magic Core: 1]
After finding a comfortable position, An Kai began his meditation for the day.
.
The Shaq Kingdom.
In the palace of the kingdom.
The burly king of the Kingdom of Shaq sat on his throne, frowning and sighing.
Beneath the king, his eldest son, whom he was most proud of, stood quietly on the spot. His eyes were in a daze, and he did not say a word.
“Sigh! Troubled times!”
In the palace, the King sighed.
His sigh seemed to be unheard by the First Prince of Shaq.
His expression did not change. His eyes were empty as he stared blankly at the exquisite teacup beside the king’s hand.
” There are 4 straight lines, 31 curved areas, and 8 curved threads.”
“Wayne.”
“Wayne?”
“Wayne!”
Bang!
The Kingdom of Shaq slapped its throne and stood up. He glared at his eldest son, who was in a daze.
It was this roar that caused the Crown Prince of Shaq to snap back to his senses.
As if nothing had happened, he looked at the king of the Kingdom of Shaq and slowly said, “Father, the witch doctor said that you can’t be angry.”
The king of the Kingdom of Shaq pointed at Wayne and kept trembling. In the end, he sighed weakly.
He could not do anything about his eldest son, who was devoted to studying knowledge.
Even the mages and wizards in the kingdom who were dedicated to studying knowledge praised Wayne as a scholar.
Unfortunately, the current Shaq Kingdom was in constant turmoil, and the former Mage Association and the current Mage Association had been in a cold war for a long time.
There might be a conflict between the two associations one day.
Civil strife broke out in the neighbouring countries one after another, causing the borders between the Kingdom of Shaq and those countries to be in constant turmoil.
Moreover, there was a damned death mage causing trouble within the Kingdom of Shaq, causing the citizens to be in a state of panic.
These were only the external conflicts. Within the royal family, the king of Shaq heard that some princes and princesses were interacting with foreign races.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, even after being king of the Kingdom of Shaq for 30 years.
Internal and external troubles had already caused him, a Tier 5 King, to not have a good rest for a month.
Everything seemed to have erupted overnight. If one wanted to get to the bottom of it, one would have to start with the mysterious death of the king of the Buklin Duchy.
Looking at Wayne, who was still in a daze, the king of the Kingdom of Shaq sighed and told him about the arrangements he had made for his eldest son, whom he had high hopes for.
“Wayne, lead the team to the desert and take back Ancestor Razor’s mage tower. Last time, because of that traitor Hanks, we didn’t succeed.
“A few days ago, the royal mages told me that according to their calculations, the desert mage that Hanks found should have died on the second floor.
“This time, bring enough supplies and retrieve the mage tower that our royal family lost for 500 years.
“Wayne?”
“Wayne!”
The king of Shaq stood up helplessly and shouted.
Wayne’s confused eyes returned to his senses, and he looked at his father. The expression on his face fully showed that he did not hear anything.
Seeing Wayne’s expression, the king of Shaq waved his hand weakly. “Get lost, get lost.”
Hearing this, Wayne finally showed a second expression other than being in a daze. He was happy and had already left the hall without saying goodbye.
As he left, he muttered softly,” They are all wrong about the analysis of the Wind Blade. They say it can only be used by someone at Stage 5 Rank 1. It’s definitely wrong. I will definitely prove to them that a novice mage can learn it too!”
Looking at Wayne, who didn’t even turn his head, the king of Shaq revealed a worried expression.
Wayne was not only his eldest son but also his only child with his dead wife.
“You should know what to do, right?”
The king of the Kingdom of Shaq had a cold expression on his face as he looked at the empty hall. He suddenly said something without any rhyme or reason.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the empty hall, and an Assassin who was covered in a black robe appeared.
“King, I will use my life to protect His Highness’ life!
“King, after I leave…”
“This is not something you should worry about. Protecting His Highness is your job!”
“Yes!”
With a wave of energy, the only Stage 5 assassin of the Shaq Kingdom disappeared from the hall.
After he left, the king of the Kingdom of Shaq secretly ordered a team of royal guards, as well as ten Stage 1 Wizards that he had already nurtured, to bring along sufficient resources and cooperate with the First Prince to head to the desert to retrieve the Mage Tower that had been lost for five hundred years.
This mission had no time limit!
After arranging everything, the king of the Kingdom of Shaq summoned his trusted aides and started a battle called A meeting on “Resisting Foreign Powers or Stabilizing Internal Affairs.”…
