[Reward mission: Collect the heads of ten desert crocodiles. There are nobles in the city who like to use them as decorations. 】
[Reward: Gold Coin x10. 】
[Deadline: five days. (Three days remaining.)]
Hanks got a bounty mission through the beauty at the bar.
Place him in front of An Kai.
"Boy, you are so lucky. You have encountered a limited-time mission. There may not be many such bounty missions in a year!"
Desert crocodile, Level 5 existence.
An Kai had just killed one before he came.
Although he is not worried about his strength, in terms of time, An Kai estimates that it is too late...
It takes about four days to go back and forth.
During this period, we also need to spend time looking for desert crocodiles.
The oasis where his secret base is located may not necessarily have a sufficient number of desert crocodiles.
So, after much thought, An Kai was ready to give up on this task.
He was going to change his mission, although the reward of Desert Crocodile was indeed very tempting...
"Don't choose, just this one!"
"Give me your membership card!"
Hanks stopped An Kai from continuing to choose and grabbed the membership card from An Kai.
Walking up to the cold beauty, after some exchanges, the desert crocodile task was taken away by An Kai.
Hanks put the membership card back into Ankai's hand, but Ankai remained indifferent.
From the moment Hanks made the decision for him, An Kai's eyes had already shown a trace of alienation towards Hanks.
Holding the membership card in his hand, An Kai followed Hanks slowly and walked toward the outside of the reward building.
But judging from An Kai's walking movements, he was ready to take action at any time.
After leaving the bounty building, Hanks walked alone and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I know where the Desert Crocodile is. As long as you are strong enough, you will definitely be able to do this task in time!"
An Kai remained silent, having already communicated with the [Meditation Rod] in the storage ring in his mind, and was ready to take full action at any time!
The two of them walked in tandem and spent more than twenty minutes walking out of Chaos City.
During this period, An Kai remained silent.
Hanks kept chattering all the way, telling Ankai everything about Chaos City.
The parents have short stories and interesting humanistic stories.
And the conflicts between the four major forces, etc.
It's just that An Kai didn't listen much. He was paying attention to Hanks' movements with all his attention, ready to use the fireball technique to hit Hanks at any time!
The reason is because of Hanks' abnormality!
They met again and went to the reward building to receive the task. Hanks' care for Ankai went beyond the relationship between the two.
It also doesn’t fit with Hanks’ usual persona.
Since what he did went against common sense, it meant that he was hiding something.
Especially after Hanks helped An Kai decide and choose the bounty mission.
An Kai felt that this mission was just a trap!
This was not because he thought too much, but because he had been deceived and suffered losses, and his life was hanging on that one "trust"!
I just left Chaos City and walked a few steps.
An Kai stopped and said, "I need an explanation." This was Hanks. An Kai would ask him to explain. If it had been anyone else, he would have hit him with a fireball!
"Explanation?" Hanks seemed to be very surprised. He turned around and looked at An Kai pretending to be puzzled.
Unfortunately, his acting skills were full of flaws in the eyes of An Kai, who was somewhat familiar with Hanks.
An Kai took a few steps back, pretending that he was a mage with a weak body and needed to keep a distance to fight.
Seeing this, Hanks understood.
It turns out that my strangeness has been seen through!
However, he had no intention of hiding it from An Kai. He originally wanted to wait until An Kai completed the task before telling him. Looking at it now, he might not be able to wait until that time.
Hanks took it out of his arms, took out a map, and threw it straight at Ankai.
"A dilapidated mage tower for a third-level mage. The entry requirement is that only first-level mage can enter.
If you enter by force, it will only destroy the contents inside. "
"The resources inside belong to you. I only take one thing. Don't worry, it's definitely not the most valuable thing. It's just an ordinary letter."
Hanks spoke very frankly, and his frankness won An Kai a little trust...
"A letter?" An Kai didn't ask any mentally retarded question like "Why choose me?"
The two of them have not dealt with each other once or twice in the desert. Choosing the other party shows that the other party has a trace of trust in their hearts.
"A letter, I advise you not to be curious, even if it is me, all I have to do is find it, not open it." Hanks repeated!
Ankai was silent again.
Hanks' words reveal a lot of information.
First of all, An Kai is basically sure that Hanks is doing things for others.
In addition, the power behind Hanks must be very large, and the letter is not a simple letter.
Otherwise, Hanks would not directly expose the power behind him in order to dispel An Kai's curiosity about the letter.
While An Kai was thinking, the map in his hand suddenly ignited out of thin air and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye...
"How about it? Will you accept my deal?"
An Kai thought for a moment and responded with a heavy tone: "Take it!"
A third-level mage's mage tower, even if it is dilapidated, is destined to be worth a lot of money!
An Kai had read in the old president's books that the Mage Tower was exclusive to fifth-level mages.
Because only a fifth-level mage can have enough financial resources and strength to support him in building a mage tower.
This shows how precious the Mage Tower is.
Therefore, the news provided by Hanks was news that An Kai could not refuse.
"Go straight to the west, and after an hour, you can see an oasis where the desert crocodile lives."
"Three days is enough."
Hanks pointed a direction to Ankai.
At this moment, Ankai understood why Hanks chose the task for him.
He is doing this to test his own strength!
An Kai didn't say much. The two had initially reached a contract, and the due trust had been established.
Follow the direction Hanks points.
The steps are firm and the figure is getting further away...
"There are other monsters in that oasis. I didn't tell him. He shouldn't hold a grudge against me, right?"
"Hey, hey, you dare to take advantage of Widow Wang!"
About two years ago, at the entrance of the nameless town, An Kai's words: "Widow Wang asked me to pick out the window..." were remembered by Hanks to this day.
All the information he said is correct, including the mage tower of the third-level mage.
Only in the oasis, Hanks forgot to mention that the desert crocodile is not the only monster there...
…
All the way west.
We walked for about forty minutes.
Ankai saw an oasis in the distance.
At a glance, the oasis here is dozens of times larger than the oasis at his second secret base.
Ankai stopped and looked around. The lake was in the center of the oasis, and the desert crocodile should also live there.
In the oasis, there are faint roars from time to time...
As if to tell An Kai, an outsider, that they are in danger here and leave quickly...
"Old guy, I knew you didn't finish your sentence!"
"Next time you're not at home, I will open the window of the King's Widow!"
