Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Hmm...something's not right!

Looking down, I realized that this bastard had been shameless again.

"Cough cough... It was dark and I didn't see it. It was an accident," Cao Le argued.

"Heh... You're a mage who specializes in shadow magic, how could you not see clearly at night?" Shao Yu asked with a look of disdain.

"If we see through each other but don't say anything, we can still be good friends!" Cao Le said with a hint of helplessness.

He didn't do it on purpose!

However, Shaoyu's advantages are just too perfect, making it hard to resist...

One of the patrol team leaders, listening to what the two were saying, was utterly speechless...

What time is it? Why are they arguing?

"Wait...it seems like the people you were supposed to send to help are all gone." Cao Le said as they were almost there.

Upon hearing this, Shaoyu paused.

“This is a trap,” Cao Le continued.

At the same time, a flame ignited in his hand, instantly shooting up to a height of over a hundred meters and exploding like fireworks...

As the crimson light swept across the sea, hideous heads suddenly emerged from the surface!

These heads had eyes, but they were lifeless, dull eyes. They looked like a group of cunning predators who had been waiting here for a long time!

"My God, how can there be so many?!" Shao Yu was also stunned when she saw this.

As a sound-based mage, for some reason, she didn't even notice when she came back...

Of course, it could also be because Cao Le was distracting her.

“These are not scavengers, but Black Hooks,” Cao Le said.

"what?"

"You all go back first, I'll cover the rear."

Just as Shao Yu was about to say something, Cao Le slapped her.

Every time she was photographed, Shaoyu knew she couldn't keep whining. If she didn't do as she was told, she would be slapped a second time.

Although it was already dark, the mages on the ship could still make out a general outline...

But who would have thought that the usually aloof Steward Shao would be photographed... and not react much at all?

What intrigued these mages most was that Cao Le actually wanted to stay here alone.

However, since Shaoyu had already ordered them to return, they naturally dared not linger any longer.

As they left, Cao Le's dark power enveloped the entire sea area.

The Black Hook Sea Monster is a creature that, like the Sea Monkey, is extremely prevalent in the ocean. Whether in the cold ocean or the warm waters, these Black Hook Sea Monsters can be seen. They look very similar to the Scavengers, and those who often travel in the ocean will sometimes mistake the Black Hook Sea Monsters for the Scavengers. Underestimating their opponents, they are often killed by the Scavengers in one blow!

However, to Cao Le, whether it was the Stain Hunters or the Sea Hook Black Demons, they were all the same. The moment darkness covered the sea, they were not worth mentioning at all!

Seeing Cao Le standing on the sea using the power of space, many sea hook black demons began to pounce on him.

It seems they wanted to swarm in and take Cao Le down in one fell swoop?

"Shadow Soldier - Slash!"

"Puff puff puff~~~"

In an instant, shadowy figures appeared behind the Sea Hook Black Demons. With swift strokes and deadly strikes, these Sea Hook Black Demons were instantly reduced to corpses floating on the sea...

With just one spell, thousands of Dark Hook Sea Goblins were all wiped out...

At the same time, Cao Le teleported back to the ship in an instant.

"Is it resolved?" Shao Yu asked as she watched Cao Le return.

"Mm." Cao Le nodded.

When they saw Cao Le standing on the ship again, the patrolling mages were all stunned... and when they heard Shao Yu's question, they were even more confused. Although they hadn't been gone for very long, it must have been several hundred meters away, right?

Returning to deal with so many sirens, even if they weren't the Slaughterers but the Black Hooks, wasn't that a bit too fast?

These people initially harbored some doubts, but when they returned to the city, some sea monsters attacked the Cao family. The moment Cao Le took action, all their doubts vanished instantly.

Whether they were scavengers or incompetent sea hook demons, before Cao Le's magic, only destruction remained. They possessed almost no ability to resist. On the contrary, the magic Cao Le used seemed to be anything but true destruction; he dealt with these sea monsters as easily as if he were blowing his own teasing away....

...

370. Cao Le: Stay by my side and good luck will follow.

After this battle, Cao Le became famous once again. Whether they were newcomers to the city or residents of the newly built city that was not very large to begin with, his reputation was known to almost everyone.

As for him, Mu Ningxue, who was with Xiangxiang, quietly sat and did what she was supposed to do...

(~￣▽￣)～

...

The ocean rises, a vast territory falls, sea monsters roam freely, and people are terrified. Under such circumstances, being able to severely punish the sea monsters and bring back their heads would be an exhilarating and glorious thing.

He didn't care much about these things, but that doesn't mean all mages are like Cao Le, who can turn thousands of sea monsters into corpses with a wave of his hand.

For some small towns, such a number of sirens would be enough to destroy an entire city.

Because of Cao Le's renewed fame, quite a few high-level mages have joined the Cao family in the past few days.

As for the high-level mages, they hadn't thought about it.

High-level mages are capable of supporting a small family; they're not so easy to recruit.

However, whether it's Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, or Shao Yu, it's only a matter of time before they surpass the highest level.

Of course, while it's very comfortable here, he can't stay here forever; it's too hard on his back...

...

After receiving news from the Dongfang family and the Mu family, everyone set off together.

This time, in addition to Cao Le and others, there were also some peripheral members of their family who went on this trip.

The journey was long, crossing mountains and valleys, and the newly discovered fire vein was located far from the city.

The western region is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains, wide plains, deep forests, and secluded valleys. Finding a rare fire vein in such a place is truly not easy. Fortunately, after a long period of exploration by the two great families, they have found a very safe route and established a post station in the Sun Ridge of Kunlun Mountain specifically to serve this fire vein.

The post station was called Wangyang Post Station. For a long time, it was a relatively poor village. With the influx of manpower from the two powerful families, it gradually developed into a small town.

It can be said that the power of aristocratic families is indeed very strong...

The strength here is not just the strength of an individual, but the strength of the whole, the kind of strength that can influence the nation.

In the original world, the Mu clan could endlessly cause trouble for Mo Fan and his group, and even when they clashed with the Mu clan, they would only manage to leave with their people...

...

Although the Mu family and the Dongfang family are not as powerful as the aristocratic clans, they are still considered old and established families in the country with a very solid foundation. They also have some cooperation with the local government. The government naturally hopes that such remote villages can be developed, so that roads, railways and security boundaries will be expanded accordingly. In addition, the east coast is frequently harassed and attacked by sea monsters, so the inland and western regions are receiving more and more attention.

The post station here was a bit chaotic, with piles of timber, stone, and mud everywhere. Because of its remote location, there was no railway, and the roads were all dirt tracks. As truck after truck drove in, the dust and mud made the entire post station...

It's not that they can't afford to build it; it's just that they will continue construction only if the fire vein can be activated. Otherwise, they wouldn't do something so foolish as to invest without any income.

Along the way, Cao Le didn't get involved in anything, but Mo Fan and the leaders of the other two companies did all the business hype.

When they arrived at the post station, the ice mage who had come to help, Mu Bai, also arrived.

The first thing Mo Fan said to Mu Bai upon seeing him was an extremely affectionate "Green Tea Guy~"

Mu Bai's face turned completely black at that moment!

I've never seen such a despicable person!

Mu Bai, though usually reserved, rarely swore, but when he was around Mo Fan, he couldn't help but swear...

Zhao Manyan looked at Cao Le with suspicion and asked, "Who is this guy? Why does it seem like Mo Fan and he are quite familiar with each other, yet they also seem to have some unpleasantness?"

“He’s my childhood friend, but when we went to Shanghai, he chose to go to the ancient capital. Although he’s a bit of a repressed guy, he’s still quite capable,” Cao Le explained.

For Cao Le to say that their strength is "not weak," then they are clearly not weak. At the very least, they must be at the level of a National Team member!

"Your Bocheng is truly a place where hidden talents abound!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

"There's nothing I can do; people around my age have all been influenced by my excellence."

Cao Le continued, "Look, before you met me, you were just an idle rich kid, but now you're a celebrity, aren't you? Moreover, you've gained the totem beast's approval, so your future is limitless..."

After listening to Cao Le's praise, Zhao Manyan felt that something was not right.

It seems like I was praised?

But it seems I'm just a green leaf setting off the flowers...

(｀ε')|

After arriving at their destination, everyone prepared to rest for the night and then set off again the next day.

After everyone finished eating, they parted ways. Zhao Manyan raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice to Cao Le and the others, "There are some small bars around here. How about we go find some simple and warm-hearted mountain village girls to chat about life?"

“Good idea. There aren’t many entertainment options here at night, and besides, most people probably don’t recognize us,” Mo Fan immediately replied.

"I have something to do, you three go ahead."

With that, Cao Le left with the little girl, Lingling.

Mu Bai said with a serious expression, "I'm not interested. You two go ahead."

"Don't pretend to be innocent. Let's go, let's chat. It's not as dirty as you think." Mo Fan grabbed Mu Bai and pulled him away. As for Cao Le?

He couldn't pull it...

Lingling looked at Cao Le curiously and asked in confusion, "Are you afraid I'll tell on you?"

"No."

"Then why don't you go?"

"This is such a small place, there probably aren't even any people your sister is old enough to go there," Cao Le said seriously.

Lingling immediately retorted with disdain, "You picky scumbag, I wish you a lifetime of loneliness!"
