Chapter 3 The Wizard's Treasure

"The one who killed the quartermaster to open the warehouse was you, the Chief, not me. Isn't that so?"

The old guy smiled cunningly and cunningly, with a look of successful plotting.You can't tell from that smile that this guy is in an important position.

"Chairman, you are already here, why can't I be here? Those bastards in the Ice Council are really stingy. Since they don't say anything, I have no choice but to come and get it myself."

The old man's pale brows were covered with icy shards, and his marble sculpture-like face had a treacherous expression that did not fit his image.Judging from the woven bags stacked behind the old man, this guy stayed here for several hours at least, looting half of the supplies in the entire warehouse.And judging from the fact that the co-pilot is probably planning to commit a large-scale crime and evacuate the entire warehouse.Take a closer look at the footprints on the ground, but the king and governor are not alone.

However, how did this guy get in without a magic seal?By punching holes?

"Break in illegally, and the group steals property. Your Excellency Governor is indeed a bit overstepped in doing so."

Walking into the warehouse with a cane, Kaos squinted his eyes and raised his head to look at the noble thief governor.

This old man was once one of the leading soldiers of the Hell Expeditionary Army and was deeply involved in the battlefield of Hell.The weapon full of abyssal breath tormented the old man's body beyond recognition.But he still survived tenaciously, and he is still alive and kicking as his governor of the Northland.His figure became even taller, like a city wall lying in front of the skinny mage.Countless hot air crystallized and condensed dust floated on his body, and the king and governor who looked like a lion smiled kindly at the mage with his Chinese character face covered with scars.The hideous flesh and scars on his face rolled into a mass of dark red flesh, making the mage frowned unnaturally.

"As a mage who has signed a contract with the imperial system, I can't ignore this kind of lawlessness. Openly plundering the country's property and sneaking into the country's military important places, your Excellency the king and governor, what you have committed is a terrific crime."

"...I'm talking about chief, you are completely in no position to talk about me now."

Relying on his height advantage, the king and governor saw the white dust floating in the igloo behind the mage and the clothes piled on the ground at a glance.Looking at the skinny mage in front of him, the king and governor instantly completed the process in his mind.

Chief of mages, monster of monsters.

The governor who once fought side by side with the mage has a deep understanding of how many ways this monster with human appearance can kill a person.And he also has a very good understanding of the strange biological remains of the mage.So the old general can directly deduce the process and result of the matter just by looking at the messy pile of clothes and the pile of white powder.

The quartermaster provoked the mage beyond his control, the quartermaster was hit by the disintegration technique, and the quartermaster turned into powder.Very simple process.

He really deserves to be the head mage of the Northland, who would kill someone without even blinking his eyes.

"The murderer came to accuse the thief. It really doesn't matter who is good and who is evil. Can everyone just pretend that they didn't see it? We are committing a crime together. Please come and see, Master Mage."

With a heroic smile on his face, the governor of the king turned his body slightly, made an invitation gesture to the dying young man, and opened the way to the warehouse.

"That's because he wants to die, not what kind of law I violated. I abide by every bit of the mage's contract. Threat first, then kill. He wants to pursue death, so I won't stop a warrior who wants to die "Looking at the old man who got out of the way, Kaos shook his head helplessly and explained dryly.

"But I like the condition of joint criminal responsibility sharing."

With a slight bow to the king and governor, Kaos walked gently into the Northland warehouse that was regarded as a dragon's nest by the Northlanders.

"After all, my task is to find those illusory elves to form a covenant alone. How can I find those legendary things without support? I have tried my best to describe my difficulties to him. He insists on this, and I have no way to do it. "

"Chief, your reason is really high-sounding..."

"Who made me a member of the mage? I have given him enough face, and if he doesn't want it, then I have nothing to do."

Faced with the king's governor's questioning, the mage quacked twice like a crow, his dark and slightly cloudy eyes scanned the governor's woven bag, and then walked slowly into the warehouse with his staff.That strange appearance was like a skinny plant standing up from the ground and walking beside the old man.

Kaos has actually always been a law-abiding, or apparently law-abiding mage.Compared with those lawless companions, Kaos' legal awareness can be said to be at the level of a saint.He did not massacre towns, nor did he cause a major earthquake, nor did he cause landslides, he just went about his own business in a very stable manner.

But even a mage who is easy to talk to is still a mage.

When he succeeded the chief mage of the Northland, the ice tower that gradually collapsed in the eyes of all the nobles of the Ice Council was enough to prove how powerful this new chief mage possessed.That's why the king and governor will follow the footsteps of the black-robed mage at this time, just like a knight's retinue following a knight.At a distance of three to five steps away from the mage, follow him step by step according to his weak and slow pace.Faced with the respectful attitude of people of this level towards him, Kaos also did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he moved more slowly and observed the surrounding materials.

Most of the room was unlocked by the old man, and it could be seen from the crack of the door that it was completely empty.But what surprised the mage was that even now, he didn't see even a single person other than the two in this warehouse, and he didn't even find his breath.How on earth did he remove these things?
Turning around a corner, he saw a red-eyed ghost who couldn't dodge and could only tremble in the shadows, and Kaos immediately knew it.Looking meaningfully at the king and governor with an increasingly embarrassing expression, the wizard didn't say anything, but continued to move forward.

What can drive this kind of ghost is not pure magic, but some witchcraft creations can drive away this kind of red-eyed ghost indirectly.Specifically, this kind of thing is usually used in material handling on certain extreme terrains.For example, Hell, or Heaven Mountain, which is full of places that mortals cannot pass through.It looks like it should be a good thing that the King Governor picked out from the Hell Expeditionary Army.To be honest, Kaos was very curious about how this old guy would bring this thing out after evading the witchcraft inspection.

But everyone has their own secrets, and the wizard hasn't thought about this kind of thing.

And what made the wizard even more concerned was that there were actually much more supplies here than Kaos had imagined.Even if he used the knocking technique to knock on the door locks of dozens of rooms in a row, the dazzling array of supplies inside still made the mage feel that he had been cheated by the ice nobles.The number of treasures is so many that it makes people feel like they are in the king's treasury.

"If I remember correctly... the secret magic gem resource should be the first choice for mages, right?"

Stretching out two fingers to pick up a sapphire randomly placed on the shelf, Kaos pointed the polished aquamarine gem at the patio above his head. In black pupils.The soft radiance emanating from the gemstone, and the ripples around it that only the mage could see proved everything.This little thing is definitely a secret magic gem dedicated to first-class mages.Kaos put the little thing back on the shelf, and looking around the warehouse, there were hundreds of crystal-clear magical gemstones shining in the room.

"Of course, my chief." The king's governor also showed a malicious smile. "All gem resources here belong to the mage. In the Northland, the mage has the right to use all gems, no matter who his owner is."

"Oh? Is that so..." Kaos nodded absent-mindedly, and gently brushed the warm mineral crystals with his fingers.

And as far as the mage can see, the long corridors are basically such sealed rooms.

This is truly an incredible fortune.
