Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 259 A Small Reward

With Nan Jue and Jiang Yu agreeing, the group quickly reached a consensus: they would skip shopping and head straight to Freedom Island.

There are quite a few hotels below the Temple of Liberty, the only downside is that they are a little expensive.

For those who have just become rich overnight, this is just pocket money.

Upon receiving the news, Ai Jiangtu immediately returned to his hotel and gathered the remaining teammates who were away.

The next morning arrived.

As a member of the National Guard, being attacked in the area is already a serious embarrassment to the Temple of Liberty, not to mention that this person was once a temple mage.

Oluna, who had contact with the National Team, came to the hotel as their representative.

The spacious room was filled with members of the National Team, as well as Oruna, the mage representative of the Temple of Liberty.

"After a night of interrogation, we have determined that Pei Li has become a henchman and executioner of the Black Vatican, and the crimes he has committed are beyond redemption."

"The bad news is that Cardinal Leng Jue of the Black Vatican has arrived here, and the executioners' attack on you may have been at his behest."

"It also involves a conspiracy; the other party stole a forbidden item from the Temple of Liberty last night."

Oruna looked at Mo Fan, and even she found this strange. Why didn't he target Wang Teng, but instead targeted this man?

"Cardinal!!" Mo Fan was somewhat incredulous, never expecting that someone as insignificant as himself would receive so much attention.

Now, in addition to Cardinal Salon, another dangerous member of the Black Vatican at the level of a cardinal has set his sights on him, which infuriates him.

"What rampant and sinister rats!" Ai Jiangtu cursed angrily. In today's world, demons are watching, and dangers abound. There are always these scumbags causing trouble.

When Aoluna saw how angry Ai Jiangtu was, she felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that he might escalate his emotions and go to cause trouble for Leng Jue in a fit of rage.

"Our temple's high-ranking mages have been mobilized. This time, even the cardinals of the Black Vatican will not be able to escape New York."

"Of course, for safety reasons, you will stay in the hotel for the next few days. Your expenses will be fully reimbursed, and there will be security personnel nearby."

"This is also our Temple of Liberty's way of making amends to you all."

At this point, she turned her gaze back to Wang Teng, this hidden master.

"Miss Oluna, what are you thinking, looking at me like that?" Wang Teng smiled.

"Wang Teng, this time you captured the blue-robed deacon of the Black Vatican and fulfilled the bounty on our Temple of Liberty, indirectly restoring our reputation."

"We have combined all the rewards and converted them into a single ordinary wind-type soul seed as our final reward, to thank you for everything you have done."

Oruna felt a little guilty. This reward could be said to be a scheme by the temple mage, who, according to her observation, possessed both spatial and chaos magic.

Whether the reward is a magical tool, a magical artifact, a dimensional resource, or even a lightning or fire resource, it may boost the enemy's combat power.

The wind element is different; it seems no one in this team specializes in it. Even if someone did, it wouldn't matter, as the wind element offers limited boost to combat power.

Given the rarity of wind-type soul seeds, it's unlikely that the other party will sell them for money; it's best to keep them as collectibles.

This way, the high price paid to the other party doesn't boost their fighting strength, making it a win-win solution.

At least in her understanding, high-level mages have three magic systems and must focus on cultivating their main magic. With limited resources, a group of students would most likely not be able to take care of the other two systems.

A single Soul Seed can significantly boost combat power, which is tantamount to aiding the enemy. Ordinary Wind-type Soul Seeds minimize the risk of aiding the enemy.

"I accept this reward!"

Seeing her cautious and guilty look, Wang Teng didn't bother to argue too much; he figured she probably wouldn't be taking kickbacks here.

He no longer has any concept of money or ordinary resources; only super-tier resources can arouse his interest.

"As long as you're satisfied, the Temple of Liberty will handle the Black Vatican issue properly, so everyone doesn't need to worry too much."

"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Oruna regained her cool expression. Having finished her official business, she still needed to return to the temple to be on duty. As a part-time instructor, she also needed to go to work. She turned and left.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. We should be more careful when we go out from now on."

"If there are no problems, we will choose a time to head to the next stop. Anyone who wants to replenish resources can get ready."

Ai Jiangtu has already divided the money equally, and now almost everyone has nearly 3 million yuan in operating funds.

With this money, one can purchase many good resources to improve their strength. Of course, there may also be some people who are content with just getting by.

It's quite possible to want to save this money and live a good life, since not everyone is willing to give up everything for ability.

More likely, it's about improving one's abilities for a better life.

This is perfectly understandable!

They already have enough money on hand to last them a lifetime.

As for whether he could still maintain a spirit of courage and diligence, he didn't know.

All he can do is preserve time, give them time to choose.

The crowd dispersed; they had had enough excitement for the night.

Inside the room, Wang Teng didn't go into Jiang Shaoxu's room. Instead, he made a phone call in his own room. He had received a message from Lin Yunxi.

"What did you guys dig up?" Wang Teng asked with an undisguised smile.

"Landmine Core!" Lin Yunxi's trembling, excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You have no idea how high the quality of the subsequent ore veins is. According to the assessment, this ore vein is a rich ore of extremely high quality."

"Wow! We can easily extract at least two lightning-type Great Celestial Seeds from it. This is truly a gift from nature."

Dawn Castle was brightly lit at this moment. Lin Yunxi's gaze was fixed on the box on the table, which contained a magnificent magical treasure.

Upon being unearthed, it was secretly returned to her castle immediately.

When she received the news, she was so excited that she was trembling all over; this mineral vein was simply priceless.

Aside from these three major components, the remaining resources also constitute a substantial wealth.

This lightning-type ore vein is the best ore vein ever discovered in their country's history.

As the initiator, Wang Teng was naturally their lucky star and a perfect collaborator. Even if there was no subsequent cooperation, they had already made their money back from this one opportunity alone.

"That's a wonderful thing. As partners, it's naturally mutually beneficial. You invested in me, so you deserve a return."

Wang Teng grinned from ear to ear; it was yet another treasure, and he could never have too many of these things.

This call was quite frank; he didn't immediately start talking about profit sharing, which would have been a foolish idea.

Trust is priceless. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. With this act of honesty and openness, there will naturally be more cooperation in the future.

As long as he is stronger and has a higher status, the initiative will always be on his side.
