101: Eat for nothing? [Requesting Reservations, Requesting Tickets]
"Alas! Let's hope we can come back safely."
Ankai sat down in his chair, as if he was worried about the safety of Hanks and his party, and spoke slowly.
Malken's mouth twitched slightly for his actions, and he didn't make a sound, which was his response.
As an accomplice to Hanks' journey to the Seven Kingdoms to resume trade, Malken's perception of Ankai has changed again.
Previously, in the desert, when he clashed with Ankai, Malken thought that he was a real desert barbarian.
Later, he was subdued by An Kai, and when he saw An Kai teaching His Highness Wayne's knowledge of magic, Malken thought that An Kai was a knowledgeable old scholar and was forced to live in the desert.
Later, on the way to Chaos City, Ankai offers Wayne to cancel their Shaq Kingdom's wanted for Hanks.
After hearing an explanation of Ankai's relationship with Hanks, Malken thinks that Ankai is a person with affection and righteousness.
Until this moment, Malken stood in the main hall and saw Ankai sighing for Hanks' journey to the Seven Kingdoms...
He suddenly understood that Ankai, from the beginning, only had himself in his heart, and everything he did was also for himself.
In order to get him, a fifth-order [assassin] professional, as his subordinate, he could endure his impatience and accept His Highness Wayne as a student.
Hanks was then released from being wanted and forced to go to the Seven Kingdoms to resume trade with a "life-saving grace".
Finally, let him appear and coax the fifth-order [assassins] to escort Hanks to the Seven Kingdoms, so as to achieve the goal of making Hanks go to the Seven Kingdoms willingly.
Malken could foresee that even if the team were able to return, it would lose a lot.
But by then, they must have made contact with some of the traveling merchants.
This also achieved Ankai's goal.
The outer city of Chaos City has resumed trade, and Ankai can safely be the underground king and collect high taxes.
One ring after another, the characters shown are also different, which shows that Ankai is not only terrible in strength, but also in mind... Very thorough!
Standing in the main hall, the fifth-order [assassin] Malken, in his life, he has seen many people of all shapes and shapes.
But there are not many people like Ankai who have a clear purpose and can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Even Ankai's use and indifference to others reminded Malken of what the king of the Shak Kingdom looked like when he was young...
The same indifference, the same unscrupulous use of the people around him, but he can still occupy the righteousness, and make the people around him willing to do things for him...
"It's horrible!"
Malken's constant brain supplement, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Until An Kai waved his hand to signal him to leave, Malken still had a solemn expression, and when his eyes saw An Kai, there was more... Be careful.
In fact...
Malken's brain supplement can't be said to be completely wrong, it's basically half wrong.
Wayne is the one Ankai really wants, and Malcoln is the giveaway.
And letting Hanks go to the Seven Kingdoms, it was also out of helplessness that An Kai had, after all, his resource consumption had increased visibly, and after thinking about it, only Hanks, a former spy of the Seven Kingdoms, met the conditions for candidates to go to the Seven Kingdoms for trade.
In addition, Hanks is old and may be able to cluck one day, so Ankai is desperate for a new gold and philosopher's stone exchange route.
Also, about getting Wayne to cancel Hanks' wanted warrant.
When An Kai mentioned this matter, he didn't have any other thoughts, nothing more than suddenly remembered that Hanks was still wanted by the Shak Kingdom, and it happened that his horse boy was the eldest prince of the Shak Kingdom.
It's just a casual mention in small talk...
"What's the matter with this guy?"
An Kai frowned and watched Malken leave, but he could see it clearly, this ice cube face, when he left, his expression was a little wrong.
[Lv23]'s [Meditation] makes An Kai very sensitive to the changes in the expressions of others.
Even if it was a slight change in expression, he could see it clearly.
How could An Kai know that some of his actions had been made up by Malken's brain into a careful plan...
However, for the use of the people around him, if An Kai knew about Malken's idea, he would not deny it.
In this desert, Ankai has always believed in a principle, and only interests can become long-term partners.
There were some people around him, but in the end, the only thing left was Hanks, the old thing.
In the final analysis, it is Ankai and Hanks who have enough common interests, and the two have already established enough trust in cooperation and exchange of interests.
Including this trip to the Seven Kingdoms, in order to allow Hanks to go willingly, An Kai also took out a tax of 10% of the outer city of Chaos City in the future.
Ichishi, it doesn't sound like much.
But if it is 100,000 gold coins, or even 10% of 1 million gold coins, this income is quite considerable for Hanks.
Now, the seven countries around the desert are in civil strife, and in the desert, the orcs and the inner city of Chaos City are fighting each other.
Another big force deceased town doesn't accept the living, so in the desert and the surrounding seven countries, only the outer city of Chaos City, where An Kai is located, is the real "paradise"!
There are no wars, no civil strife, no aliens.
As long as food is solved, and trade is resumed, it is foreseeable that in this surrounding war-torn environment.
The outer city of Chaos City will become a "holy place" sought after by many people..."
At that time, it is entirely up to Ankai to decide how much tax he wants to collect.
This is what Ankai's planned future Chaos City Outer City will look like.
Therefore, he can give 10% of the tax to Hanks, which is already a huge concession based on the past friendship between the two.
If it were Sally Brooklyn or Will Brooklyn, who had a relationship with Ankai, Ankai would not have come up with this success.
The first is whether the two of them can open up the trade between the outer city of Chaos City and the Seven Kingdoms, which An Kai remains skeptical.
Although they were the princes and princesses of the Duchy of Buklin, they were not the princes and princesses of the Seven Kingdoms, let alone the princes and princesses who were exiled abroad.
In one case, Will Buckerlin is a bit better, because of his professional peculiarities, Ankai still has some trust in him.
Sally Buklin, in Ankai's mind, was directly eliminated, this kind of trading worth millions and tens of millions of gold coins, Ankai will definitely not cooperate with her...
Therefore, Hanks was able to be trusted by Ankai and promised to go to the Seven Kingdoms, which shows his trust status in Ankai's heart!
The trust level of others is 0.1 in Ankai's place, so Hanks has at least 1.0 percent.
Of course, the full value of the trust level could be 100...
After Malken left, Ankai took the 6,000 low-grade magic stones that Hanks gave him before leaving, and chose 5,000 to exchange for skill points.
In Hanks's words, there were more than 5,000 gold coins left that he would have to wait for when he returned.
This statement made Ankai more sure that he was looking for a new way to exchange gold coins and philosopher's stones...
[Skill Point +5000]
[Skill Point: 5999]
The skill points of 6000 are one short, which makes Ankai quite reassuring.
Then he chose to use 200 low-grade magic stones to replenish the energy of the mage tower.
[Radel's Mage Tower Energy +20.] γ
γLazer's Mage Tower Energy: 100% (80%+20%)γ
"Can 10 low-grade magic stones be exchanged for 1% of energy..."
"Not bad..."
The defensive effect of [Lazer's Mage Tower], Ankai still recognizes, consuming 20% of energy to resist the fatal blow of Malken, a fifth-order [Raider], which is rare.
Sitting in the main hall, the matter has been arranged.
Including Wayne, Ankai also arranged for him to study the Wind Blade Book next door to him.
In Wayne's words
In a few days, the Wind Blade Technique could be studied by him until the apprentice mage could also use it.
For this, Ankai is still looking forward to it.
A few days ago, when Ankai communicated spells with Wayne, he had already determined that the spells in his hands were not the same thing at all as the spells mastered by those mages.
He himself thought about the reason, and it might be related to his four-dimensional attributes.
Not only is it balanced, but it is also much higher than its peers.
In his memory, the mage profession, when it was a first level, only gained 9 attributes for each level.
As for the warrior, only 8 attributes are obtained at the first level.
All in all, for some traditional professions, the attribute points they get for each level of promotion at the first level are not much compared to Ankai.
On the other hand, Ankai, according to the spell level, he needs 40 attributes for each level he increases at the first level!
After all, he is a four-dimensional attribute balanced development...
Of course, in addition to the four-dimensional attributes, An Kai also estimated that his spell casting did not need to be related to the old immortal request of the law god.
In the entire Dongzhou and even the Divine Punishment Continent, An Kai may be the only mage who bypasses the magic god to cast spells...
After listening quietly for a moment, Wayne was still muttering about the knowledge of wind blade art that An Kai didn't understand, but through the speed and tone of his voice, he could hear that this guy was very excited.
Maybe it's like he said, it won't take a few days to study the Wind Blade Technique...
Looking at the hot courtyard outside, Ankai suddenly felt that everything was fine.
With a thought, use [Summon] to summon [Withered Vine Treeman: Lv23], and then hold the [Brute Force Staff] and smash the [Withered Vine Treeman] core...
Rummaged through it, but there was no core.
"Bad luck!"
With a scolding voice, a fireball technique appeared out of thin air, burning the [Withered Vine Tree Man] to ashes...
This scene made the body of Nur Pinch, who was inadvertently looking at Ankai in the guarding courtyard, shudder, and then muttered, "Tomorrow... Summoning that guy tomorrow to make the boss happy..."
In the main hall, Ankai heard the murmur of Nur Pinching Sius, and casually threw out ten low-grade magic stones...
It fell right in front of Nurpinsius.
"Don't delay your cultivation."
"Boss Xie! Thank you, Boss!"
Nur Pintius quickly stood up, and kept shouting thanks in his mouth.
Even though it doesn't need these Philosopher's Stones...
In the main hall, after An Kai returned a gentle smile, he casually played a [Freezing Technique] to close the door of the main hall.
Then, with a thought, the [Lazer's Mage Tower] manifested from his body, enveloping An Kai's figure and disappearing into the ground.
Next.
Ankai reappeared from inside the Mage Tower in the main hall of the Evergreen Gang's station.
A night's rest and [meditation] allowed him to gain an attribute point.
Add it to your [Endurance].
[Stamina +1]
[Stamina: 525]
Then he took out the [Beast Meat Refining Table] of [Enhancement +5], and instructed Nur to go to the Evergreen Gang's reserve point and get two pieces of fresh Monster hind leg meat.
After taking out two low-grade magic stones, they were placed on the [Beast Meat Refining Table] countertop, and in an instant, the magic stone was turned into powder and melted into the meat of the hind legs.
Just for a moment.
The beast meat is strengthened by the [Beast Meat Refining Table].
[Strengthened Hind Leg +5: Lv1]
[Quality: Normal]
[Note: Don't eat too much of the strengthened animal meat, be careful to be supported.] γ
The [Beast Meat Refining Table] has been strengthened to [+5], and along with the Beast Meat strengthened by it, the [+5] quality has also appeared.
It just so happens that it can satisfy Ankai's appetite now.
Take the flesh of the beast, one in each hand and one in the right hand.
Ankai glanced at Nur Psius, who was staring at him, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Nur pinched the sius for a moment, and he agreed
You prepared two pieces of animal meat for yourself?
Nur pinched the black face of Xiusius and smiled awkwardly, "No... It's okay..."
As the words fell, Nur Pinshus turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall...
Just as it walked to the door, Ankai's voice suddenly sounded behind it: "Wait a minute."
Nur pinched the figure of Xiusius for a moment, and it knew that Ankai had it in his heart...
As soon as I turned around, I saw An Kai throwing two bone sticks over...
"Go out and nibble, don't be grateful to me."
Looking at the two bone sticks in front of him, Nur pinched the sius and didn't know what mood he was in...
When did it come to this point?
Glancing at Ankai's expression, Nur pinched the sius for only a second before he grabbed a bone stick and bit down on a bone stick.
He whimpered and said, "Thank you... Boss..."
Watching Nurpinsius leave, Ankai was satisfied.
In his memory, this is how he raised pets in his previous life.
After the owner eats the meat, the pet feeds the bones.
Stretching his body, Ankai listened to Wayne's progress in today's spell research for a moment, and then walked out of the main hall.
Today, he plans to go deep into the outer city of Chaos City to check the integration of the residents of the original city with the foreign residents.
After all, the state of existence of these people is related to their vital interests in the future.
If the new residents can't survive, Ankai will intervene and provide them with a more comfortable environment.
And then press hard...
Thinking of this, Ankai smiled lightly.
In these troubled times, it makes sense for him to provide a stable place to live and then receive a small payment.
As it passed by Nur-pintius, it was holding a bone stick and gnawing without raising its head.
"Sure enough, the ancestor's method of raising is right."
Muttering, Ankai left the Evergreen Gang station, and his face was exactly that of Hanks' father.
Walking along the street, after walking for about half an hour, on the west side of the outer city of Chaos City, some people gathered in front of them.
Ankai walked there with old steps.
Pulling away from the crowd, I saw the scene inside.
Among them, the knight Polpi, who had no mount, with a few doglegs, scolded the five exiles who had fled from the Seven Kingdoms in front of him:
"Dog, our city lord protects you safely, and you don't even want to pay for protection? Still running away again and again?!"
"Is it true that our lord is a charity?"
The five prostrate inhabitants of the city, bowing their heads and sobbing in low voices, "Your Excellency... We're really out of money..."
"No money?!"
Polpi glared at him with rage, and continued to shout: "There are five houses allocated to you, you squeeze one and keep one, and the remaining four are sold or rented out, isn't that money?!"
"I see you, you just don't want to give!"
"Dogs, do you want to eat for nothing? I'm going to you guys!"
