Master Changsheng

Chapter 28: Playing along

Ankai once envied Reed immensely; this guy could pick up a valuable, down-on-his-luck nobleman just by going out once.

At that moment, Ankai's envy of Reed vanished.

Because he found a princess!

He didn't know how much Sally Bucklin could fetch at the bounty tower.

But one thing is certain: it's an enormous sum of money!

Because he had heard Hanks mention something about getting hold of the Fifth Princess of Buckling and handing her over to the Bounty Hunters, which would guarantee him a life of comfort and security!

Of course, this is on the premise that the person in front of you is really the fifth princess of the Principality of Bucklin!

"You claim to be the fifth princess of the Principality of Buklin? How can you prove it?"

Ankai asked cautiously.

He didn't want to end up like Polpi from the old Kaishan Gang, being looked down upon by that woman in the bounty post.

Because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would slap the woman to death...

Sally Buklin heard Ankai's response.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she had some guesses about An Kai's identity.

An Kai shouldn't be an assassin sent by his four good brothers.

Rather, they are creatures that naturally live in the desert.

She was incredibly unlucky; she finally found an oasis, only to run into this monster!

A monster mage who can instantly cast a massive fireball!

Sally Buklin figured out the key point, reached for her waist, pretending to take something out, but actually pretending to take something from her storage ring.

Unfortunately, An Kai could clearly sense the fluctuations in the storage ring.

This is closely related to his [meditation] level.

The magical fluctuations vanished in a flash, and Ankai pretended not to know, not pointing out the problem.

However, in his heart, he was already 95% certain of Sally Bucklin's identity.

Now there is only one question left: Sally-Buklin, as a genius mage of the Duchy of Buklin, became a third-tier mage at a young age, so why is she now weaker than an ordinary person?

Ankai will not act rashly until this issue is clarified.

For example, he always keeps a distance of more than two meters from Sally Bucklin.

When Sally Buklin took out her identification, Ankai gestured for her to throw it to him instead of going forward to catch it.

[Nameplate of the Fifth Princess of the Principality of Buklin]

[Hint: A plaque made of three gold coins.]

Holding the nameplate that Sally Bucklin had thrown at him, a system notification appeared in front of him.

At this point, An Kai was relieved.

Confirmed, this is my resource point!

He immediately changed his tune: "So it really is Her Highness the Princess! I am also a citizen of the Duchy of Buklin!"

"I am also very saddened by His Majesty's passing... Alas!"

"Your Highness, what happened to you? Why do you look so disheveled?"

One second ago, An Kai was still indifferent.

The next second, his enthusiasm made Sally Bucklin uncomfortable.

It wasn't that An Kai had awakened some kind of "simp heart," but rather that he knew that in the bounty tower, the living Princess Bucklin was worth many times more than the dead one!

Ankai was afraid that if he appeared too indifferent, Sally Buklin would feel desperate and then choose to commit suicide.

If that's the case, then he's at a huge loss!

Therefore, just a few changes of expression can bring in a lot of resources, which is worthwhile for An Kai.

Sally Buklin was taken aback by the sudden change in attitude.

If An Kai hadn't remained motionless and hadn't accepted her nameplate without any intention of returning it, she would have believed him completely.

Although she didn't know why Ankai's attitude had changed so drastically, Sally Buckling felt a sense of relief...

They survived!

Next, I need to figure out how to use the guy in front of me to help me get out of this predicament…

Indeed, the death of the Typhon Giant left Sally Buklin in dire need of a new protector.

And Ankai, who killed the Typhon Giant, was Sally Buklin's best choice.

Sally Buklin was very confident in dealing with someone living in the desert!

Thinking of this, Sally Bucklin's expression suddenly changed, revealing a weak look, and she began to explain her experience in a low voice.

While explaining her experience, she would occasionally sob, which would be met with comforting words from Ankai.

Sally Buckerlin's frail appearance was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard or saw it.

Unfortunately, her performance partner was a guy who was only interested in selling her for resources.

All the show of concern Ankai displayed was merely a facade to prevent Sally Buckling from having suicidal thoughts…

Ten minutes later.

Sally Buklin recounted her tragic experiences in fits and starts.

It's simply that she was on the side of justice, but was framed by her evil brothers, leaving her powerless and helpless.

They could only flee in disarray into the desert.

Although she was forced to flee because the Buklin Mage Association lost the game.

However, other mage associations can help her turn the tide. Her master, the president of the mage association of the Principality of Bucklin, has already gone to other mage associations to seek help.

It won't be long before she makes a comeback.

The underlying meaning is that Ankai should protect her, and he will be richly rewarded in the future, including a position as vice president of the Mage Association, etc.

In short, Sally Buklin's promises to get Ankai to protect her were incredibly tempting...

The only pity is that Ankai is a pragmatic guy who only focuses on immediate benefits and has never been interested in pie-in-the-sky deals.

"Alas! Please accept my condolences, Your Highness!"

"I'll take you to Chaos City; I have a safe place to stay there!"

"There are always too many dangers in this oasis. I came here to collect the head of the Desert Crocodile."

"However, for the sake of Her Highness's safety, I will put this matter aside for now!"

An Kai, looking distressed and empathetic, offered his suggestions.

Sally Bucklin nodded without hesitation.

She had been searching for Chaos City for a long time, and now that Ankai offered to take her there, Sally Buklin couldn't have been happier!

Once in Chaos City, Sally Buklin can use the resources in her storage ring to seek more protection for herself in the Bounty Tower.

At that time, she will have a greater chance of ensuring her safety.

Sally Buklin was unaware that she already had a high-priced bounty placed on her head in the bounty tower...

I originally wanted to use some tricks to get An Kai to take me to Chaos City, but I didn't expect An Kai to be so helpful!

To make Ankai more obedient, Sally Buklin went to the lake and washed her face clean.

She revealed a beautiful face, then gave An Kai a sweet smile and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Warrior, let's go!"

An Kai feigned a silly grin, inwardly thinking, "People from big cities are really different; she's so much prettier than Widow Wang!"

To Sally Buckering, his appearance was that of a lecherous man, and Sally Buckering suddenly felt that Ankai was nothing special after all!

He's just a pretty talented mage barbarian!

I can easily take down this barbarian with a single move!

Ankai walked ahead, not caring what Sally Bucklin thought.

At this moment, all his thoughts were focused on how much food he would need to prepare for his seclusion after selling Sally Bucklin to the Bounty Hunters and obtaining a huge amount of resources.
