Master Changsheng

Chapter 36, Section 036: [The Mask of the Imposter]

After leaving the oasis, we arrived at the place where old man Ryan had died.

After a brief inspection, he spotted the mage's staff that he had overlooked.

It was planted in the desert and had lost its luster.

Only at the top of the staff, a gem emitted a faint glow.

The rest of his body, scorched by Ankai's fireball spell, turned as black as charcoal and would crumble at the slightest touch.

Because the staff was in such a bad state, no information about it appeared before Ankai's eyes...

He sighed inwardly at the pity and removed the gem from the top of the staff.

The staff itself, after the gem was taken away, was blown away by the wind and scattered into a pile of fragments.

Ankai put away the gem and went to the side.

First, they used freezing magic to create an ice platform that was more than three meters long and more than two meters wide.

Then, sitting on it, he took out all his spoils from the [Storage Ring No. 1] on his hand…

Two storage rings, and a gray-white mask.

One came from Sally Buklin, and another from the old man Ryan from the Bounty Tower.

Looking at the storage ring in front of him, An Kai had the idea of ​​opening a blind box.

My heart is surging with emotion…

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ankai decided to open Sally Buklin's storage ring blind box first.

Sally Buklin's storage ring has a capacity of about six cubic meters.

Like other mages, a large portion of the space in his storage ring was occupied by various mage analysis books.

In addition, there are some interesting anecdotes and other analyses.

An Kai tossed and turned, and just as he was getting bored, his eyes suddenly lit up!

A Study of Mainland Chinese Languages!

He quickly opened the book and finally found the answer he was looking for on page 67!

"The language of the Kingdom of Shak is used very frequently within the Kingdom of Shak, and influenced by it, some duchies within its territory have also chosen the language of the Kingdom of Shak as their primary national language..."

Below this passage is an excerpt from the Kingdom of Shah.

This excerpt from the language of the Kingdom of Shak has the same flavor as the texts in the books that Ankai obtained in the Mage Tower!

This passage contains two characters that Ankai had seen in the books inside the Mage Tower, and they were used as the title of the book!

According to the explanation below, these two words mean "slaughter!"

As you continue flipping through the pages, the description of the Kingdom of Shak disappears and is replaced by another language.

"Not bad..." An Kai muttered to himself with a smile.

With a goal in mind, he knew how to find it.

It's much better than finding a needle in a haystack.

An Kai put the book "Analysis of Mainland Languages" into his [Storage Ring No. 1], feeling that he might need it in the future.

After searching through the books, they continued to check Sally Buklin's storage ring, but found nothing of value, such as money.

However, I found 38 low-grade magic stones.

Besides that, there were some of Sally Buckerlin's personal clothes...

Some are worn close to the body, while others are worn as outerwear.

"Wow, she's wearing lace!"

An Kai clicked his tongue and then left the clothes in his storage ring.

I moved those books into [Storage Ring No. 1].

After these books were placed inside, Ankai's [Storage Ring No. 1] was filled with all sorts of books.

This included the book he first acquired, which he couldn't open no matter what he tried.

According to his speculation, the key to unlocking this book lies with either Will Bucklin or Sally Bucklin.

After all, this came from the mayor of an unknown town.

This guy has connections to the Buklin royal family!

However, he was in no hurry to open it. Ankai would not reveal these things until he figured out the identity of the deceased mayor.

After sorting through Sally Buklin's storage rings, Ankai clicked his tongue and smacked his lips.

The emptiness of the storage ring further illustrates Princess Sally Buklin's decline...

Despite having some suspicions, Sally Buckling's shabby appearance taught me a lesson.

Fortunately, he learned the spell [Summoning], which is a sustainable development spell, and it somewhat made up for his losses.

Assuming it's done once a day, the [Summon] will only take about 9 years to generate around 3000 gold coins. Beyond that time, it surpasses the bounty value of Sally-Bucklin herself.

For someone like Ankai who is immortal, the [Summoning] spell is well worth it!

With that in mind, Ankai exchanged the 38 newly acquired low-grade magic stones for skill points, and then added them to the spell [Summoning]!

[Skill Points -38]

[Summoning Proficiency +38]

[Summon Lv5 『58/60』]

After sensing his surroundings, he confirmed that his pet summoning level had also been raised to Lv5.

Ankai was very satisfied.

At this rate, it won't be long before it reaches the second-tier level of Lv11.

At that time, you'll get two skill points a day!

It's so comfortable!

Little did Ankai know that the difference between his [Summoning] and others' [Summoning] was enormous...

After doing all this, Ankai opened Ryan's storage ring from the Bounty Tower.

The space is only about three cubic meters.

An Kai's face fell as soon as he opened it!

The storage ring was completely empty!

There's nothing there!

This completely proves that Ryan, that old bastard, planned to double-cross us from the very beginning!

He didn't die unjustly!

In other words, Ryan's body was burned to ashes. If his body were still alive, Ankai would have no choice but to whip it several times to vent his anger!

After putting away Ryan's storage ring, Ankai's [Storage Ring No. 1] now contained five storage rings, minus the [Storage Ring No. 1] he was wearing.

These storage rings alone could fetch a good price…

Ankai finished opening the blind box and picked up the gray-white mask from the ground…

【The Imposter Mask: Lv1】

[Quality: Average]

[Usage Requirements: Endurance 80, Stamina 80.]

[Note: Taking this with you will give you a brand new life!]

The appearance of the system introduction caught An Kai's eye!

A mask of [Common] quality is already considered a "treasure" in the desert!

The staff that old man Donglin treasures is only of [Common] quality.

Besides quality, Ankai cares even more about its effectiveness!

This fell from Ryan; even my fireball couldn't melt it.

This is enough to demonstrate the strength of its material resistance.

It feels as light as a wing when held in your hand, and has a slightly cool touch.

After much deliberation, Ankai put it on his face.

After putting it on, An Kai began to think about how to use the [Disguiser's Mask]...

With a thought, the face of a middle-aged man with a thick beard appeared on An Kai's face...

Using the spell [Freeze], following my will, I condensed it into a circular mirror...

Ankai looked at his own face...

"Haha! Just by looking at my face, Widow Wang would never be able to tell the difference between me and Hanks!"

The [Disguiser's Mask] brought comfort to An Kai's heart.

The appearance of this mask was very timely, perfectly meeting his needs...

"The people at the bounty post are really kind!"

"Well done, Will!"

Muttering to himself twice, An Kai smiled and walked towards the oasis…

Just as I took a step, a notification suddenly appeared…

[Attribute Points +1]

Ankai laughed. Will is even better!
