Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 105 Ghost
Amidst the gloating discussions, the magician returned to his temporary residence in dejection.

He sat on the hard bed and clenched his fists.

"How embarrassing! As a superhuman being, I have to be humiliated in public by an ordinary person."

"Who?"

The magician shouted and turned his head to look.

What came into view was a man wearing a white shirt and navy blue overalls. The man's body was covered in dust and his shirt had several tears on it.

He almost immediately drew out his wand and pointed it at the uninvited guest who had sneaked into the barracks at some point.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to help you."

The man ignored his wand and said calmly, "I know a lot about you. You were born in a small town on the border of the empire. When you were ten years old, a group of strangers you had never seen before visited your home. They talked a lot about you to your parents. You saw them get emotional and cry for joy in front of you. Then, they let those people take you away and took you to a place called the Astrology Society. There were many children like you there."

"Who are you?"

The magician's voice trembled as he stared at the boastful man, who was in his early thirties, about the same age as him. They had never met before, but the other person seemed to know everything about him.

The fear of the unknown enveloped him.

"You once thought you were very special. You tried your best to learn all the knowledge you could get in the academy. However, your long-term efforts made you realize a fact - although you have become a transcendent, there are many people like you. Passing the second-level magician exam is already the limit. You went to live in the big city you always dreamed of, but found that you were not taken seriously at all. Your situation is not much better than those mercenaries, but you owed the bank a large sum of money, a debt that you don't know when you can pay off."

The wand sprayed out a red ball of light, which hit the man in the corner of the room, but he easily dodged it.

The man did not get angry, but continued to smile at him, a creepy smile, as if everything in his heart was exposed in the other's eyes.

"It's the same this time, isn't it?"

The man walked towards the magician step by step. Although he was unarmed and showed no signs of attacking, he made the magician retreat again and again.

"That's the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Gear City, right? Normally, you don't have the chance to talk to him. Do you know why he came here? Because a big shot has come to Gear City. As long as you can make him happy, he can forgive your debt with just one word. Maybe your future life trajectory will change because of this."

The man was getting closer and closer to him, his voice echoing in his ears like the whisper of a devil, "You know very well that as long as you can go to the imperial capital and get the potion from the Astrology Guild, you will be able to pass the third-level exam, where you will have a new beginning..."

"Who are you anyway?"

The shaking wand was pointed at the man again.

"You already have the answer in your heart. Catch me and I will take you to the imperial capital."

"Kane!"

The magician called out the man's name, and what responded was a hearty laugh. He watched the man run out of the house, and the laughter was getting farther and farther away from him, going away in the direction of the mine.

He heard the shouting coming from outside the house, "Or, let Talon catch me, you still get nothing and can't get anything!"

The magician chased after him desperately.

Anger, panic, and reawakened greed intertwined at this moment, and he released the knockback spell desperately - this would not kill Kane, but would knock him away. He only needed to hit him once to make him unable to move.

The magician saw himself getting closer and closer to Kane, so close that he subconsciously ignored many unusual details.

For example, there were suddenly fewer people outside the mine.

The color of the sky became a little strange, the piled corpses disappeared, and the lingering smell of blood could no longer be smelled. He chased all the way to the edge of the mine and forced the culprit who instigated the riot into a desperate situation.

Kane turned around and faced him, opened his arms to him, and waited for the final blow.

The magician saw the red ball of light hit Kane, and he finally hit the hateful man in front of him.

He saw Kane fly into the air and hit hard against the railing at the entrance to the mine.

At this moment, the humiliation that had been pent up in his heart for a long time was released, and he couldn't help but shout loudly, "It's me! I caught Kane!"

"boom--!"

There was a gunshot behind me, followed by a heart-wrenching pain.

The magician lowered his head and looked at his abdomen, where blood was oozing out. He turned away in disbelief.

The abnormality in the sky returned to normal at some point, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

He saw the black muzzles of guns, all pointed at him.

"boom--!"

"Bang bang——!"

This man is probably crazy.

Even Ethan looked in shock at the magician lying in a pool of blood. His hand holding the wand lost its strength and the red sandalwood wand rolled to the side.

The magician's eyes widened, as if he was unwilling to close his eyes.

But everyone saw it right away. They saw the magician rushing over here like a possessed man. The Chamber of Commerce President Taron finished arranging the gas barrels, and as soon as he turned around, he was knocked away by the oncoming red ball of light and fell heavily into the gas barrels.

It was less than ten minutes since he was publicly humiliated by Talon, which made people subconsciously think that he was angry and attacked Talon from behind.

But Ethan felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.

The magician shouted loudly before being shot, but what he shouted was a language that no one could understand.

Talon stumbled towards the magician with the help of his men. His face was extremely gloomy. He was still not satisfied when he saw the bleeding holes on the magician's body. He raised his foot and stomped on the corpse's chest several times. Then he pulled out his revolver and fired all the bullets in a row.

The magician was so dead that he could no longer die that he asked his men to carry the body away.

During this time, the gunmen who came with the magician said nothing and no one stepped forward to stop them.

The discussion in the crowd became more and more lively, and everyone was shocked by this sudden scene. Ethan left the crowd calmly and walked towards the magician's barracks.

He soon discovered signs of a fight in the house. The magician had cast a knockback spell here not long ago, and the wall in the corner was dented, which meant that he had met other people in this room.

At this moment, the voice of a cat came from the energy storage crystal.

"This is Maomao. I have completed my investigation. There is no Kane in the mine. Perhaps this person has never existed in the beginning."
