Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 400 The Rice Goes into the Pot

The battle was quickly brought to a close. After the ancient king merged the pyramid underworld into the Abyss of Sha, he disappeared with the entire newly formed Abyss of Sha.

The retreat of the spirits of both sides revealed the entire Loess Plain once more. Without the shroud of death and the glow of the underworld, the severed limbs scattered across the land quickly melted away under the sunlight.

"Eek~ Who's that?" Pang Lai narrowed his eyes, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in the distance.

The other party seemed to be carrying something and was speeding towards the fortress.

"It looks familiar~" Jiang Shaoli took a closer look and realized that she seemed to have seen it recently. She began to recall the memories of the past few days.

"Mo Fan!!!" Pang Lai's eyes widened. As the other party got closer, he finally saw clearly that the other party was in demon form, which caused his body size to change drastically.

huh~

"Chief! I've caught the mastermind behind this incident! It's him! Cardinal Leng Jue!"

Mo Fan spoke in a hoarse voice. He was in very poor condition, his body covered with black and red lightning marks, and his aura fluctuated.

"Quick! Wang Teng, come and handle this!" Pang Lai immediately shouted to Wang Teng, who was standing to the side, seeing Mo Fan looking miserable and on the verge of a dead end.

"Don't worry, you won't die!"

Wang Teng walked up to Mo Fan, raised his hand and touched the black and red patterns. The remaining power seemed to be summoned, and it all left Mo Fan's body and surged into Wang Teng's palm.

In just a few breaths, the marks covering Mo Fan's body quickly disappeared, and given his demonic state, he could recover in no time.

Seeing that his condition had stabilized, Pang Lai breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"Mo Fan, you've done a great job this time, you've caught the mastermind."

"How about it? Want to come to the Forbidden City and become a councilor? You two can keep each other company, just like Wang Teng?" Pang Lai immediately invited with a beaming smile.

"To become a member of parliament?"

Mo Fan looked surprised and felt a little excited, but he quickly shook his head. Joining a faction was too restrictive; he preferred to be free on his own.

Moreover, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist the taunts of those idiots and would just kill them outright.

"Don't you like it...?" Pang Lai felt a little disappointed when she saw him shake his head. In that case, she could only make up for it in another way in the future.

"Alright~ I'll remember your contribution this time!"

Pang Lai knew very well that forcing things wouldn't work, so if the other party didn't like it, then so be it; after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

Mo Fan was glad that Pang Lai understood him, so he handed over the dying Leng Jue to him.

Not to mention, he almost died in the aftermath of Lei Hai's attack on this mission.

When Wang Teng clashed with the entire Pharaoh's army, they were watching from behind. But in an instant, a devastating thunderous attack struck, and none of the blue-clad soldiers could withstand it; the entire army was wiped out!

Only when he activated his demonic transformation in time and Leng Jue used the technique of the Descent of the Evil God could they barely block the bombardment of Lei Hai.

It was thanks to the Pharaoh's timely dispelling of the thunder sea that he survived; otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether he would have survived.

"How will you deal with the backlash from this demonization?"

After Pang Lai took over Leng Jue's position, he began to focus on the backlash issue, something that most of the higher-ups were aware of.

"No problem this time~ I've absorbed enough remnants of souls and the evil energy from Leng Jue on the battlefield, so I can safely get through this backlash."

Mo Fan grinned. This battle might be the one where he gained the most. After the sea of ​​lightning bloomed, countless remnants of souls flew towards him.

Not only is it enough to pay the price for this demonization, but it also covers most of the price for the next one. The little mudskipper has even been promoted once. He hopes for more of these good things.

"Tsk~ That's settled then. You should go down and rest. Also, your two friends are resting down there too," Pang Lai said.

"Okay~" Mo Fan happily turned and left. He had survived a great calamity and was sure to be blessed with good fortune.

"This should be the end of it!"

"Chief, I need to return to the capital."

"The follow-up matters will be handled by Staff Officer Bin, and she will continue to serve as the garrison staff officer in Feihuang City."

"What do you think, Staff Officer Bin?"

Jiang Shaoli glanced at Binwei to the side. Binwei's performance this time was outstanding, enough to qualify him as a garrison staff officer in a newly established base city.

"I obey orders!" Staff Officer Bin replied seriously.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip to Kitahara with me. You can go back if you need to."

Pang Lai naturally wouldn't stop the other party. It's true that forbidden spellcasters shouldn't run around unless they're safe; that's the unspoken rule.

Jiang Shaoli was not the military commander, so he had less freedom of action, and he also had the responsibility of guarding the capital.

As the commander of the Imperial Capital's military headquarters, his temporary assignment to Beiyuan on behalf of the military was already the result of discussions among the high-ranking leaders.

"Alright~" Jiang Shaoli said with a smile, then turned and left.

"Councilor Zhu Meng, thank you for your hard work these past few days. Please assist Advisor Bin in safely transferring this group of high-level mages to Feihuang City."

"They are very important for the future reconstruction of the garrison in Feihuang City." Pang Lai immediately thought of something and instructed Zhu Meng beside him.

"Okay, Chief!" Zhu Meng immediately agreed.

"Thank you for your support, Chief, and thank you for your help, Congressman Zhu Meng!" Staff Officer Bin said happily.

With Councilor Zhu Meng protecting us, there shouldn't be any further safety issues.

"You're welcome," Zhu Meng said with a smile.

Wang Teng, standing to the side, saw this scene and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. What exactly did Zhu Meng owe the chief? Why was he so hardworking and conscientious?

"With the Kitahara incident over, my mission is also considered complete."

"Chief, I'll be leaving now."

Following Jiang Shaoli's departure, Wang Teng also expressed his intention to leave. He had achieved his goal, and now it was time to prepare for the next phase of his plan.

Now that we have the rice, it's time to get ready to cook.

"Alright~ You've worked hard too. The situation on the ocean is attracting attention from all sides. I can settle your posting duties now."

"The domestic situation is tense right now, and you might have to make a trip there if there's a mission."

Pang Lai smiled again. This time, the Beiyuan incident was handled perfectly, and the Pharaoh was defeated without causing any casualties.

Even the ancient king took away the pyramids, his old home in the underworld, making it difficult for him to cause as much trouble as he has today.

With this collaboration, we may be able to seek cooperation with the Old King again if we encounter similar situations in the future.

After all, there's always a second time after the first. This time, both sides had a relatively pleasant time, and the ancient king seemed to be a deceased emperor with whom communication was possible.

Moreover, since the other party awakened, the ancient capital has no longer been plagued by undead, which undoubtedly further proves that the other party is a rational emperor of the dead.

What the deposed emperor thought was unimportant. When facing a powerful emperor, actions speak louder than intentions; the facts speak for themselves.

"Okay~"

Wang Teng did not refuse. To be honest, he doesn't carry out many missions, maybe only one or two a year.

Knowing his strength, Pang Lai naturally wouldn't assign him any trivial tasks, as that would not only waste his time but also his combat power.

This is the weight that comes with strength. Tasks cannot be assigned casually; it must be considered whether they are worthwhile and appropriate, and whether the situation can be resolved satisfactorily.
