Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

After the inspection, the four passed through the heavily guarded outer city wall. The situation inside the city wall was not bad, no different from other cities. However, because people from different suburbs had gathered in these few districts, the streets were particularly bustling and lively.

The city is protected by a long, dragon-like body, so the citizens don't need to worry about the bloodshed outside. Or rather, they've already seen it all and continue living their lives as usual!
The Bell Tower Magic Association and the Drum Tower Hunter Alliance can be said to be the very center of the ancient capital, standing tall within the inner city walls, shining with the glory of many years.

In such a time when the dead roam freely, perhaps only the members of the Dangerous Dwelling Clan would dare to live on the outer city walls.

Their villages remain safe and sound to this day, but unfortunately, because these villages don't use modern equipment much, information transmission is incredibly slow; sending a letter can take a very long time...

The news of the complete annihilation was delivered by one of their villagers. The military had not been able to verify it, as the ancient capital was constantly being harassed by the undead and did not have much time to deal with the villages outside the city.

"Moye, where are we going now?"

Liu Xian took Mo Xie's arm and asked.

"Find someone who knows about Wei Jucun, since we don't know the route either."

Mo Xie had visited the ancient capital several times, but he was not familiar with the land of the dead outside Anjie. The dead were often more terrifying than demons, so he had to find a guide who knew the route to the dangerous settlement.

Since we want to find someone, we should naturally go to the Hunter Alliance in the Drum Tower of the ancient capital.

The Hunter's Hall was packed with people. Wherever there was danger, the hunter mages were there. The more dangerous the place, the more treasure it contained. The Ancient Capital Hunter Alliance was particularly active!

Mo Xie glanced at the scrolling bounty screen and noticed that the most requests were for "rescue." After all, with the undead riots going on recently, many people were probably still in danger outside the city walls, and those who were safe would naturally pay a high price to hire hunter mages to rescue them.

"Most of them are rescue operations; it seems there are still many people in danger..."

Xu Zhaoting glanced at the scrolling bounties on the screen and said with a sigh.

"What rescue? They're just body-collecting teams."

Suddenly, a voice with a hoarse, duck-like voice broke in. The group turned around and saw a short hunter mage dressed as an explorer standing beside them. They all had to bend down to see him.

"The hunter mages here are still alive. Who hasn't abandoned their teammates? The most common thing they say is... Don't look back, come back to collect the corpses during the day!"

The short man crossed his arms and said dismissively.

"Shouldn't we go to rescue the team members if they're trapped?"

Liu Xian was extremely puzzled. Although she had become a vampire and her methods and perspectives were different now, she had not become a cold-blooded person because of it. She also knew that any hunter mage with a conscience must abide by the team's covenant and could not betray or abandon their team!

"Sorry, this does not apply here."

Hearing Liu Xian's naive words, the short man couldn't help but laugh. This reasoning was indeed correct, but it was different in the ancient capital.

"Then what did you mean by the corpse collection team you mentioned earlier?"

Xu Zhaoting frowned slightly and then asked.

"Those who are stranded outside will die if they stay overnight. Sending people to rescue them is a euphemism, but to put it bluntly, it's just to collect the corpses so that the bones don't become ghosts. So don't count on rescuing people. It would be a great achievement if you could find one or two pieces of your friend's remains and make sure you come back alive."

The short man chuckled, stroking his ducal beard. His gaze swept over the four people before him, lingering on Liu Xian for a moment before he asked with a smile.

"You guys look like you've just arrived in the ancient capital. You're not here to find someone at the Hunter's Alliance, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan looked surprised and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

"This is the intuition of a seasoned mage hunter."

Seeing the short man's confident expression, Mo Xie smiled slightly and spoke.

“We are indeed planning to go find someone, but we don’t know the exact route to Weiju Village, do you know that?”

"Hehe, what a coincidence. When it comes to visiting Weiju Village in the ancient capital area, no one knows it better than me. Of course, I can take you there, but the price..."

The short man chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and got straight to the point.

"It's okay, my friend is more important. You drive, I don't care about this little bit of money."

Mo Fan didn't intend to waste words. He waved his hand, acting like a rich young master, completely unconcerned about money.

The short man sat up abruptly, held up one finger, and said with a smile.

"Okay, ten million!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Mo Fan.

Mo Fan took a deep breath, his lips twitched, and he stared at the short man with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with anger, as he roared with bared teeth and claws.

"Ten million... Why don't you just rob a bank? You'd make more money that way!"

If Xu Zhaoting hadn't been desperately stopping him, he probably would have rushed up to the short man and attacked him.

Despite Mo Fan's strong reaction, the short man remained expressionless, perhaps because he had encountered many people like him, and said with a smile.

"Let me tell you, at this time of undead turmoil, go around and ask if there are any hunter mages willing to go to the dangerous village that is so far away. Only I am willing to take people. Moreover, ten million is the price I can charge for taking people. If you want to charter a car, it will cost twenty million."

"You want to bring extra people for ten million, and another twenty million for chartering a car? Go to hell!"

"Mo Fan, calm down..."

Ignoring the tugging and pulling of the two people beside him, Mo Xie looked at the calm and composed dwarf and simply took out the Hunter Master Badge and said.

"Ten million is too much, how about a smaller amount?"

The short man's eyes lit up when he saw the Hunter Master badge, and he quickly smiled respectfully.

"Oh my, you're a Hunter Master! You're so young and promising. It's an honor to have you in my team... Here's the deal: I'll only take five million from you, that's already a 50% discount, I really can't go any lower!"

"Okay, we won't charter a car then. You can continue to bring people; there's no conflict."

Mo Xie had no intention of hiring a car, so she took out her bank card and handed it to the short man.

The short man took the bank card, his face beaming with an uncontrollable smile. With a master hunter in the team, their safety was greatly guaranteed.

Moreover, this master hunter even agreed to let me bring another group. Such an outstanding man deserves a beautiful female companion! (End of Chapter)
