Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 271 Special Transactions

Until midnight, when no action was seen from the military, Wang Teng turned and left, returning to his tent.

However, to his surprise, an unexpected person came knocking on his door.

"Hello, Mr. Wang Teng, I am Finna, the Egyptian military staff officer and the commander of the army for this operation."

Fenner was already waiting inside the tent, accompanied by a man who looked like a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Ai Jiangtu, standing to the side, gave him a look, which, combined with his dark face, looked quite comical.

"What do you want from me?" Wang Teng sat down on a chair nearby.

"Boy, what kind of attitude is that? The Chief of Staff is talking to you!" East Army Commander Wankos pointed at him angrily.

Fenna waved to stop him. Capable people are always a bit arrogant, but she didn't care about that, as long as they could cooperate.

"I need your help with something."

"Your team leader gave me some great suggestions, and I think they are very feasible."

"But I need to be in command of the army and can't leave. There aren't any Shadow High-Rank Mages in the army."

"At the core of the pyramid phantom, the density of undead is extremely high, and even a shadow mage of average skill cannot break through to the inside."

"I would like to entrust you with placing the Blazing Light Vessel at the base of the pyramid mirage."

Her goal was simple: to destroy the pyramid mirage. Everything else was secondary to this objective.

"Oh……"

Wang Teng laughed inexplicably. This guy really only asks whoever raises the problem to solve it, and if no one raises the problem, he plans to keep piling people up?

Seeing Wang Teng's disrespectful attitude towards their staff, the Kuomintang officers standing nearby grew increasingly angry, as if they were about to take action at any moment.

"Impotent rage~"

Wang Teng glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Staff Officer Fenner.

"If you can't move yourself, then find someone who can. Egypt is located at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, and there are countless magical forces here. Finding a wind-type magic user is very easy."

"If the army doesn't have any high-level shadow mages, then go to the Hunter's Alliance and post bounties; there are plenty of people willing to take them."

"I'm neither a wind mage nor a shadow mage, what use are you to me?"

Wang Teng wasn't going to indulge her. So what if she was a military staff officer? Did she think she could just take advantage of him for free? He couldn't tell if what she said was true or false, so he was skeptical of her anyway.

The training could end at any time, and the team's qualification for the finals was already a sure thing. The National Team's decision to stay or leave was entirely up to them.

Fenna frowned slightly. This kind of talk was just like that of a seasoned veteran. This was the kind of person she least wanted to face.

What do you want?

"What do you have?"

The atmosphere changed instantly. Both sides stared at each other, and now it was the Egyptian military that needed their help; the pyramid mirage was a thorny issue for them.

As for needing to stay in the military and not move? That's a joke. Whatever messy obstacles they have internally, what does that have to do with him?

The pyramid mirage has appeared so many times, and we still haven't found a quick solution to this problem. It's truly incompetent!

Relying on others' pity and sympathy to offer assistance? I guess they issued international aid, and the only people who could come were probably teams like theirs that needed more experience.

The threat of demons from various countries has always existed. Who would lend a helping hand for no reason? The cost of cultivating a super-level mage is extremely high. No force would easily take action. As for wild super-level mages, they would be even less likely to lend a hand for nothing.

Ai Jiangtu seemed to be seeing this mercenary side of Wang Teng for the first time, as if he had become the kind of person he used to hate.

After a moment of anger, Fenner's face turned bitter. The Egyptian military certainly had a lot of resources, but they were all already reserved.

There are too many magical forces in this area, and many resource-producing areas have already been divided up. They can only possess a very small portion.

They are completely short-handed internally; otherwise, the entire country wouldn't be without a single decent forbidden spell mage.

Every time a pyramid mirage appears, it's a nightmare.

"I don't have the resources."

"But I'm willing to sign an agreement. As long as it doesn't send my men to their deaths, I'm willing to give you the authority to freely deploy five hundred military mages, and at the same time, I'll appoint you as an honorary military advisor."

When Fenner said this, the Kuomintang agents standing nearby were incredulous, and even Ai Jiangtu looked like he was questioning his own existence.

This is tantamount to allowing outsiders to interfere in the power of the national military. What's the difference between this and selling out the country?

"Chief of Staff Fenner!" Vankos pointed at her and demanded loudly; he absolutely would not allow this to happen.

Ai Jiangtu also resumed his indifferent expression. He had originally thought that Fenner was an excellent leader, but now it seemed that he was no longer.

"You probably investigated my information before you came."

"Hehe~ But unfortunately, it's too late for you to say that. I already have a collaborator. I can only apologize."

Perhaps Ai Jiangtu and Wan Kesi didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Staff Officer Fenner's words, but Wang Teng did.

Isn't it because he has decent talent, is a rising star, and is an absolutely high-quality investment target, with the authority to mobilize five hundred military mages?

That kind of thing is very abstract; it's extremely useful when it's useful, but worthless when it's not. International resources have already been mostly distributed.

Undiscovered resource points have a very high probability of being inhabited by demons, and they can only compete with the demons for them.

Behind every top mage, there are usually international collaborators. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, with one side providing combat power and the other providing manpower and labor.

Fenner was clearly thinking the same thing. Putting aside the long term, he could get a free attack right now, and unless something serious happened, he wouldn't need to mobilize the military mages.

If something goes wrong, it's definitely not a problem that an individual can solve, such as mining resources.

If Wang Teng hadn't discovered the resource vein, with his strength, he wouldn't need a military mages for minor problems, let alone major ones.

Then this agreement is practically meaningless, and since the other party is a judge, their credibility should be relatively high.

In this world where all power is concentrated in one person, numbers are sometimes not as useful as they seem.

"Is that so? That's a shame. There's nothing I can do about it." Advisor Fenner smiled with relief; she didn't have many resources left to offer.

Seeing that she looked like she had completely given up, Wang Teng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Is there a Pharaoh's Spring?"

Fenna was stunned. How did the other party know about such a hidden treasure? But she quickly laughed. There really was such a thing!

This thing is probably more useful to necromancers. She couldn't tell what the other party was trying to do, but that didn't affect her decision.

"have!"

"Very good, then let's trade with Pharaoh's Spring!" Wang Teng was very satisfied. He didn't know if that thing would work for him, but he would give it a try. It should be fine.

Even if it's useless, he can still make a deal with necromancers, as this thing has an extraordinary effect on souls.

The necromancer can also use the Pharaoh's Fountain to launch almost unlimited troop production battles, making it practically a cheat code in positional warfare.

P.S.: Thank you for the monthly tickets, readers. I've only been able to write one day's worth of chapters lately, so I can't give you extra chapters. I'm deeply ashamed.

I still owe six chapters, but I'll make it up to you when I have the chance. Thanks to the readers who gave me rewards before, but please don't give any more rewards, as I can't write any more for the time being.
