Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Upon hearing this, Cao Le immediately became annoyed: "Who, who the hell is eyeing my little cabbage?"

Although she's called my younger sister, haven't I been raised like a daughter since I was little?

Children from poor families mature early, but Cao Ying is definitely a little princess.

Now that she heard someone was eyeing her, Cao Le was naturally immediately annoyed. This person was practically asking for trouble!

Who can have opinions about their own baby bok choy?

"She's just a classmate. She's not being clingy, but she's got those kinds of feelings. Ying'er's always with me. What do you think will happen if I'm not around and she gets tricked?" A sly glint flashed in Apas's beautiful eyes.

Cao Le naturally noticed it as well.

Can...

Since it concerned his own sister, he felt it was more reliable to keep the little snake girl alive.

"Clap clap clap..."

But Apas's attitude made him very unhappy!

If you upset Cao Le, you'll naturally get a slap in the face.

Apas was startled when she was suddenly hit...

Although she did lie, given her "understanding" of Cao Le, it's impossible that he wouldn't care about something like this.

"you..."

I wanted to yell at him, but then I realized I didn't have any reason to.

In the end, all she could do was glare at him resentfully.

"You can stay, but if anything happens, I'll come back and beat your butt to a pulp!"

After all, his younger sister had grown up, and there were some things he, as her older brother, couldn't ask her anymore.

Since Apas was unwilling to leave the school, he naturally had no choice but to agree.

It's just that we're missing a magic-based class...

It's not a big deal!

...

After leaving Shanghai, Cao Le headed back to the Cao family.

After gathering together with Jiang Shaoxu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Lingling, who were also going to Tianshan together, they set off immediately.

As for Mu Ningxue, she seemed to still be somewhat annoyed by what happened "before," and therefore did not want to join the trip this time.

As for Mu Bai, it was because he was going to the National Government team this time, so he had no interest in getting involved. In addition, Bai Hongfei gave him the position in Feibiao City, so he couldn't get away at all.

As for Lingling?

She simply didn't want to go to school; she just wanted "excitement."

...

Their destination was Pan Town, a small town located on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. It was quite different from other special post stations because, as mentioned before, its existence was due to the relatives of those who had disappeared in the Tianshan Mountains. They spontaneously built wooden houses along a river at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in anticipation of their return, which gradually formed into a village and then a town. Later, those who wanted to go to the Tianshan Mountains also flocked to Pan Town in search of supplies and a place to stay, turning it into a starting point for people heading to the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains. Hunters, explorers, mercenaries, students, and adventurers gradually filled the town.

There are not many local residents in XJ; most are outsiders.

When they arrived at Pan Town, they found that this town, which was named after Tianshan Mountain, was much larger than they had imagined, almost half the size of the Cao family's new town.

The houses here are primarily practical, and the streets are filled with vendors selling magic potions, armor, magic stones, information maps, and looking for teammates...

Here, the number of hunter mages is even denser, numbering five or six thousand!

After arriving here, Jiang Shaoxu contacted Ai Jiangtu and the others, and then the group went to meet up with them.

...

In a shop, at an eight-person table, Cao Le, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Lingling sat on one side, while Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, Jiang Yu, and Guan Yu sat opposite them.

"Long time no see!" Zhao Manyan said first, looking at the group.

After all, they had been through many hardships together, so it was naturally quite a happy occasion for them to gather together.

"Yes, if Ai Jiangtu hadn't run into Jiang Shaoxu this time, we probably would have just had a small get-together," Jiang Yu said with a smile.

"Why do you want to go to Tianshan?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

“A truly powerful mage must make a trip to Tianshan no matter what.” Ai Jiangtu seemed to have a deep obsession with Tianshan.

"Actually, there's nothing special about Tianshan, and the environment is quite harsh. Although there are indeed many treasures, the dangers are the same. I really don't know why so many people are so attached to Tianshan," Cao Le said with a shrug.

"Cao Le, have you been to Tianshan?" Nan Jue asked curiously.

Cao Le nodded. He had indeed been there, but that was in his past life.

However, he wasn't completely ignorant of the Heavenly Mountains in the magical world. The so-called dangers were only for the weak.

There are indeed many great demons in the Tianshan Mountains, but there are even more ancient Chinese totems.

Totems have no inherent malice towards humans. As for those monarchical creatures?

Given his current strength, he has nothing to fear from anyone who isn't a supreme-level monarch. He can easily take them on one-on-one!

Even for a supreme monarch, there's nothing to panic about.

after all...

His current level is truly at the minor perfection of the four elements!

"When? How come I didn't know?" Mo Fan looked at Cao Le curiously.

Although they weren't conjoined twins, they were mostly together. Even when they weren't together, he knew where he was. But I've never heard of him going to the Tianshan Mountains, have I?

Zhao Manyan was also puzzled. When did Cao Le come to Tianshan?

498. Tianshan Totem

"So you have to know everything?" Cao Le retorted.

In this lifetime, he indeed never came to Tianshan.

Even though he'd never been here before, he knew what the situation was like here!

Mo Fan was displeased!

He always felt that Cao Le had never been here, even though they had grown up together since childhood. They had also spent a lot of time together afterward. When had he ever heard that Cao Le had been to the Tianshan Mountains?

Given his personality, would he really not tell me about something like this?

Cao Le was somewhat helpless. Does it really matter whether you've been there or not?

Sometimes he really doesn't understand Mo Gouzi...

They want to understand everything clearly, just like that annoying washing machine.

But unfortunately...

They don't have the brains of a detective, so why bother with this kind of thing?

Nan Jue suddenly asked curiously, "Cao Le, when did you go to Tianshan?"

"In my dreams."

What he originally wanted to say was that Tianshan wasn't actually that obsessed with people.

It wasn't as scary as I imagined.

But now that everyone's curious, he really can't say anything, after all, the Tianshan Mountains in this world are very different.

The paths inside must be quite different from those in my previous life...

In the end, he had no choice but to deny it.

Mo Fan exclaimed: "/-/*/@!"

Cao Le completely ignored this; the dog was simply trying to cause trouble.

“This time, let’s send our strongest team from China to give it a try,” Jiang Yu suddenly said.

Many people share the same obsession with Tianshan, but it just so happens that they all came together at a very opportune time. This gave those who were initially hesitant and awe-inspiring about the mystery and danger of Tianshan a bit more confidence.

...

Before they arrived, Ai Jiangtu and his team had already formed a group, and Ai Jiangtu had already made arrangements with the other party.

So they just need to go to the mercenary group to report for duty afterwards.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Tianshan Mountains are truly without danger. Once the environment becomes extremely harsh, one's level of cultivation becomes less important; what matters most is rich experience and wisdom in handling affairs.

Mercenary groups spend most of their time traveling in the wild, and in critical moments, they can act as cannon fodder to save mana, so joining a group is actually quite suitable.

Mercenaries and hunters are similar, but the difference is that mercenaries are more cohesive and closer to military management, including their team members, who are basically fixed.

Hunters are more relaxed and free, mainly following bounties. Mercenaries can be called private armies. Ai Jiangtu is probably used to the discipline of the military. He prefers to choose mercenary groups with more orders to follow rather than hunter groups.

The mercenary group that Ai Jiangtu and his group had chosen was among the top three mercenary groups in Asia, with a total of over 110 members, divided into ten squads...

...

"I heard that the Merlon mercenary group has its own vassal cities in the Middle East?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.

“Yes, they have their own city, and like some governments, they mainly collect taxes. However, their main business is still hiring and exploration. This time, they are sponsored by the Riden royal family to explore the Tianshan Scar. On the one hand, it is to give the Riden royal family more reputation for conquering the world and more collections. On the other hand, they want to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus for the seriously ill queen.” Ai Jiangtu told everyone.

"The Riden royal family is indeed very wealthy and powerful," Zhao Manyan remarked.

"Your Zhao family also has a flag, and they've hired one of the top hunter groups in the country," Guan Yu said.

Zhao Manyan looked at Guan Yu with some doubt. He knew a little about this matter: "I know a bit about the affairs of the Riden royal family. The queen is at odds with her eldest grandson and wants to leave all her inheritance to her youngest grandson. The will has been drawn up, but her youngest grandson is still in his wife's womb and won't be born for more than half a year. Unborn children have no right to inherit. In other words, if she doesn't live to see her grandson born, all her property will go to her eldest grandson."

The reason why his brother Zhao Youqian sent people here is actually related to this.
