Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 134 Asha'ruya
Xi'an Xianyang International Airport.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, turning the entire world into a gloomy scene.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. These are extraordinary times. Every passenger who lands must show their identification and state their purpose."

At the airport exit, a man in uniform stopped Su Chi and his two companions and spoke to them in a very serious tone.

Su Chi didn't say anything about this and simply handed over his ID.

Mo Fan and Liu Ru, who were standing to the side, had both frowned slightly, but after seeing Su Chi's actions, they also handed over their documents.

"The three of us are students who came here for tourism."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

The uniformed man examined the ID card carefully for a few moments before returning it to the man.

After leaving the airport, Liu Ru originally wanted to hail a taxi, since Xianyang is still quite a distance from the ancient capital.

However, Mo Fan rejected this suggestion because he didn't want to waste a single second and just wanted to go to the ancient capital to find the place where Zhang Xiaohou disappeared.

So the three of them rode on Mo Fan's summoned beast, the Swift Star Wolf, and sped along the highway toward the ancient capital.

When the three arrived in the ancient capital, they found that it was under martial law.

At this time, there were also members of the Magic Association guarding the city gate, and some guardian mages were responsible for checking people coming in and out.

"Let's go, let's head straight to the Gulou Hunters Alliance."

After the inspection was completed, Su Chi led Mo Fan and the other person through the heavily guarded outer city wall and, following the memory in his mind, headed towards the Drum Tower Hunter Alliance in the inner city.

Previously, Su Chi had directly questioned the Wei Fang personnel who sent the message and learned from them that Zhang Xiaohou had disappeared between Yangyang Village and Hua Village in the dangerous settlement area.

soon.

The three then arrived at the Drum Tower Hunter Alliance Hall.

We are currently in the midst of an undead uprising, and the bounty screen in the lobby is almost entirely filled with rescue requests.

"I didn't expect that most of them would be rescue requests," Liu Ru murmured, looking at the big screen.

"What a load of bull, they're just here to collect corpses." No sooner had the words left his mouth than a hoarse, hoarse voice reached the ears of the three.

Liu Ru frowned and turned her head in the direction from which the sound came. She saw a short, strangely dressed hunter mage staring at her.

"What did you mean by 'collecting the corpse' just now?" Liu Ru asked.

Seeing the puzzled look on the beautiful woman's face, the short mage coughed lightly and began to show off his knowledge.

"This must be your first time visiting the ancient capital."

The short man stroked his beard and explained with a smile, "Anyone who has lived in the ancient capital for many years knows that if you end up spending the night outside, you are basically doomed to die; there is no chance of survival."

"These requests are ostensibly for rescue, but those who issue them know they're really just for collecting corpses, to prevent their loved ones' remains from becoming spirits in the wild."

what! !

After hearing what the short hunter had to say, Liu Ru and Mo Fan were both shocked.

"Judging from your attire, you must do this kind of work too. How much would it cost if we wanted you to take us to Yangyang Village?" Su Chi asked directly.

After hearing this, the short mage glanced at Su Chi and then held up one finger.

"One million? Deal." Mo Fan agreed very readily.

"A million dollars? Do you think I'm a beggar?" The short man's voice rose a octave with excitement.

"If it's not a million, then it's ten million?" Mo Fan paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "Then let's just do it ourselves."

"Deal." Su Chi interrupted Mo Fan and agreed immediately.

"No, Chi Zi, you can't spend money like this. This guy is obviously trying to rip us off." Mo Fan was getting anxious.

“The Abyss of Evil has appeared near Yangyang Village, so other hunter mages probably wouldn’t dare go there, and we wouldn’t know the way if we went by ourselves,” Su Chi explained.

To be honest, ten million doesn't seem like much to him right now, so he doesn't want to waste his time on that amount of money.

Upon hearing Su Chi's decision, Liu Ru immediately took out her own bank card, which contained tens of millions of yuan that she had previously saved.

The group then established a commission in the Alliance Hall, and Liu Ru directly transferred ten million to the Hunter Alliance.

The money will only reach the short man once the commission is officially completed.

"Oh, right, I have one more condition: I won't just take your case, so there will be other people joining the team later," the short man said.

"What did you say?! You've even made demands?!"

Seeing that Mo Fan was getting anxious, the short man explained, "If you want to hire a car, that's fine too, but the price will double."

"Go and solicit your customers." Mo Fan didn't want to say anything more to this unscrupulous businessman.

Since the short guy needed to attract another client, and his team also needed to make some preparations, the meeting was scheduled for tomorrow.

After the short man left, Su Chi took the two of them to a hotel to check in.

Because of the chaos caused by the undead during this period, the tourism industry in the ancient capital has been exceptionally bleak, and hotel prices have become much cheaper.

After booking the rooms, the group didn't rush to sleep, since it was still early.

“Zhou Min and Mu Bai are here too. Let’s get together tonight. I’ll call them out for a get-together,” Su Chi said to Mo Fan.

"Green tea man?"

Mo Fan was taken aback; he really didn't know about this. "Okay, speaking of which, it has indeed been a few years since I've seen a green tea guy."

In a very authentic old local shop.

Su Chi, Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhou Min, Zhao Kunsan, Wang Sanpang, and others sat in a private room, talking about their experiences in recent years.

Su Chi originally wanted to bring Liu Ru along, but Liu Ru refused.

She and Mu Bai and the others didn't know what was going on, and since Su Chi and the others were probably just talking about the past, it would be awkward for her to chime in.

Seeing that Liu Ru really didn't want to come, Su Chi let her be.

"Hey green tea guy, I heard you've taken over an entire street, impressive." Mo Fan greeted Mu Bai first.

However, Mu Bai's face immediately darkened upon hearing the words "green tea man." He knew that Mo Fan was a man who couldn't say anything nice.

So Mu Bai ignored Mo Fan and turned to Zhou Min, who was standing to the side, and asked, "How's your cultivation at the Wild Goose Pagoda going lately?"

"It's still a second-level nebula."

When this was mentioned, Zhou Min's mood was clearly somewhat disappointed.

"A mid-level second-tier nebula is already very strong." Wang Sanpang seemed to have noticed the low spirits in Zhou Min's tone, so he shouted loudly.

"If I can break through to the third level of the intermediate stage, I will be able to learn the Fierce Fist: Nine Palaces. Then I will be able to hunt down Corpse Generals and my ranking will be higher," Zhou Min explained.

Mo Fan was somewhat surprised after hearing Zhou Min's words and said, "Is the ranking of your ancient capital academy determined by hunting undead?"

"Yes."

Zhou Min nodded and continued, "Our Ancient Capital Academy is different from other universities. Because there are endless undead in the ancient capital, the academy directly uses undead as the anchor point for academic credits. The higher the academic credits, the more undead it has hunted."

"In addition, we also have to go to the outer city wall for duty every now and then. Speaking of which, I was supposed to be on duty today."

That's it!

Mo Fan suddenly realized that the student training mechanism at the ancient capital academy was so interesting.

However, compared to Mo Fan, Mu Bai's focus was clearly on the last sentence.

"Hmm? Do you have enough credits this month? Will it affect your resource allocation next month?"

"It should be about right. It's fine. Anyway, a month's worth of resources isn't much. It doesn't matter to me whether I take it or not. It's not easy for us all to get together."

"By the way, speaking of rankings, I remember that the nomination competitions for various universities have recently started one after another. With your abilities, you two must have both won a nomination vote for Pearl Academy, right?" Zhou Min said with a slightly affirmative tone.

Upon hearing this, Su Chi and Mo Fan exchanged a glance, then Su Chi smiled and said, "We've disappointed Squad Leader Zhou."

Ok?
She had just learned that Mo Fan's fire element cultivation had reached the third level of the intermediate stage, but she didn't expect that even with such strength, he couldn't get a single nomination vote.

However, what surprised her the most was Su Chi. If Mo Fan's failure to get a nomination vote was due to bad luck, Su Chi's strength should not have led to this situation.

However, although Zhou Min frowned, she did not speak directly because she noticed that Su Chi had a smile on his face.

"Due to some special reasons, Mo Fan gave up the subsequent nomination competition."

Su Chi paused here, glanced around at everyone present, and then continued, "As for me, there is no need for me to participate in the nomination battle. I already obtained four votes from the National Government several months ago."

"What!!"

Four votes??

Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang didn't react much to these words. After all, they were still just beginner mages and hadn't entered the academy to study, so they weren't very concerned about this matter.

However, Zhou Min and Mu Bai were shocked. They stared at Su Chi with wide eyes, their tone extremely surprised.

Both of them were students at the Ancient Capital Academy, so they were very familiar with the selection process for the National Team.

Generally speaking, having three votes from the National Government is practically a guaranteed win, but Su Chi claims to have four votes. Doesn't that mean his selection for the National Government team is a done deal?
"Congratulations! I didn't expect the gap between you and us to have widened so much," Mu Bai said.

He could never see through Su Chi since he was a child. He still remembered when he saw Su Chi awaken the water element on the playground of Tianlan Magic High School. He thought that Su Chi's life would be like this forever.

Unexpectedly, after two years of silence, this guy chose to venture to Shanghai, and returned to Bocheng in an exceptionally dazzling manner a year later.

"Go for it, try to get first place!" Zhou Min stared at Su Chi with her clear, bright eyes.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

the next day.

After receiving a call from the short mage, Su Chi and his two companions went directly to the south gate of the outer city wall.

At this moment, several people had already surrounded the short man. Su Chi looked around and saw that the others were fine, but one woman with a black veil and a voluptuous, tall figure caught his attention.

The veil obscured the woman's face, but her dark, deep blue eyes were fully revealed.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is Wentai's adopted daughter, a candidate for sainthood at the Parthenon, and a notorious information broker.
Asha'ruya!
Seeing that the group had all arrived, the short man and his big, strong companion began to lead the way.

After completing the exit registration at the South Gate, the group headed directly towards Yangyang Village.

"Hey Chizi, you've been staring at other people the whole way here. Do you have a crush on them?"

Mo Fan stood next to Su Chi and whispered something.

"What are you talking about? I was just a little curious about her clothes," Su Chi explained.

The three of them walked at the back of the group, so it was hard not to look at the woman in black veil ahead as they traveled.

The main reason is that it's early morning and still very cold, and the woman in front of me is wearing a thin robe embroidered with colorful birds, which, along with her exposed calves and fair, delicate feet, makes it hard not to attract attention.

“What’s so strange about that? Some people prioritize style over warmth. But I have a feeling she must be very ugly,” Mo Fan said with certainty.

"Hmm? Why do you think so?" Su Chi raised an eyebrow at Mo Fan.

He knew that Asha'ruya was a great beauty, based on the description in the original work.

Absolutely stunning!
"Oh, is there even a need to think about it? If she weren't so ugly, why would she need to pretend to be mysterious by covering her face? It's just that her face doesn't match her graceful figure and unique temperament," Mo Fan said, nodding to himself as if praising his own cleverness.

“Nonsense, she must be very beautiful.” At this moment, Liu Ru, who had been silent until now, couldn’t help but interject.

"Moreover, the aura emanating from her is somewhat familiar to me; she must also practice dark magic."

Liu Ru, who transformed into the Dark Spirit Dragon Girl, not only retained the shadow magic of the vampires, but also gained a blood magic that this world had not yet developed.

"How did you know?" Mo Fan was also a little curious about this pretty young woman who had always been by Su Chi's side. According to her own introduction, she was Su Chi's secretary.

"Hmph, I naturally have my own methods." Liu Ru glanced at Mo Fan, then looked at Asha Ruya in front of her again, her eyes filled with admiration and envy.

Although the group spoke very softly, Asha's voice still faintly reached Asha's ears.

Because she could tell that Su Chi was extraordinary the moment she saw him, it wasn't just Su Chi who was paying attention to her along the way; she was also paying attention to him.

When she heard the somewhat loser-like man behind her say that she was ugly, Asha Ruya couldn't help but clench her fists.

If the timing weren't so inappropriate, she would definitely teach that loser behind her how to speak properly.
