Could it be that he, Li Huan, had only wanted that unremarkable robe?

Li Huan smiled. Of course not.

It was just that he had already recalled the process of the mission in its entirety!

As he watched the Mage turn around and leave, Li Huan knew that his mission was about to be completed!

The next few days, Li Huan did a few small missions within the city, counting down the time.

Suddenly, a burst of energy erupted from the Mage Tower!

The entire city even trembled a little!

Li Huan, who was in the middle of a small mission, immediately dropped what he was doing and headed straight for the Mage Tower!

For that mission, the final arrangement was that after the Arch Mage had broken through with assistance, the player who coincidentally passed by would receive the true reward.

Because only one person could receive the reward. The player who completed the mission would even make arrangements to frequently ‘coincidentally’ be in the surrounding area!

But Li Huan did not have that special privilege. That was fine. If there were no conditions, he would create conditions! How hard could that be?

As he thought of that, Li Huan quickened his pace even more. He had to rush to the vicinity before that Mage made his grand entrance!

Everyone in the city had felt the burst of energy from the Mage Tower. They all gathered nearby as well, wanting to see what was going on.

“Hahahaha! I have finally, finally! I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this day!”

The Mage walked out of the Mage Tower, feeling the energy throughout his body.

One had to realize that the higher the level, the more difficult to break through!

That Mage had been stuck at the bottleneck of Level 29 for a long time, always unable to break through!

After all, based on the settings, that mission would only have existed after players had entered that world. If not for Li Huan, the NPC who had intervened halfway, he would have had to wait far longer.

Everyone understood what had happened, but only the Mage apprentices truly understood what it meant!

He was a Level 30 Pyromancer! With his current ability, destroying a small town would be a piece of cake for him!

“Aiya! Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Li Huan quickly tidied himself up, and put on a shocked expression. He had to put on the whole works!

In actual fact, he was also trying to strictly follow every condition of the mission. He was afraid of missing out something important, and not getting the equipment.

“It’s you!”

The Pyromancer had noticed Li Huan, who was simply offering his congratulations as he ‘coincidentally’ passed by.

The Pyromancer walked down the steps in front of the Mage Tower, and gave Li Huan a huge hug!

The surrounding Mages and Mage apprentices were dumbfounded!

That person! Wasn’t he the one who had spouted nonsense about wanting to go to the Royal Magic Academy a few days ago?

And now, the owner of the Mage Tower, whom they revered as a god, was actually giving him a big hug in front of everyone!

What was going on?

“Hahahaha! Thank you, really! If not for you, I don’t know how long more I would’ve been stuck here!”

When he said that, the people around them were completely stunned!

No way, what level was that person at?

“Good! Good! I’m extremely happy today! Come! Consider this item a gift to you!”

Li Huan did not take the words of that person to heart at all.

Wasn’t he just a Level 30 Pyromancer… Even if he was at Level 130, Li Huan would not think he was that great either…

However, the last sentence made his heart leap!

The Mage took out something from his pocket. After pretending to decline at first, Li Huan accepted the equipment in the end!

Phew, after working so hard, everything wasn’t in vain.

“Did he, did he just receive a gift from the Arch Mage?”

“I can’t be wrong! It must be!”

“Wah, no way! This is insane!”

Since the item was already in his hands, there was no need for Li Huan to continue hanging out in that place.

He casually made small talk with the Arch Mage, and then hurriedly walked out of the crowd.

All he wanted was to quickly return to his residence, and test the power of that thing!

[Lost Summoner Ring]

[Item Grade: Secret Shadow]

[Earned After Equipping: Mana +7, Wisdom +9, Endurance +2]

[Summoner Oath (Exclusive Special Effect): [Mind Control] +10%]

[Race Cry (Exclusive Special Effect): Cooldown time for skills with keyword [summon] -5%, strength of Summoned Creatures +10%]

As expected of an early-stage Summoner divine equipment! The equipment’s enhancement of his stat panel was just average. But the two exclusive special effects could lead to a concrete increase in his abilities by the percentage!

He already had the ability to summon a troop of more than ten Summoned Creatures. After applying the equipment, all his Summoned Creatures could get a true upgrade!

Together with the ordinary cloak that the Arch Mage had given to him during their first meeting, Li Huan’s stat panel had improved significantly!

Name: Li Huan

Class: Summoner (Level 15)

Talent: SSS-Level Supreme Summoning

Strength: 12

Wisdom: 57

Endurance: 13

Mana: 63

Skills: Mind Control (3), Skeleton Summoning (3), Arcane Missile (2), Wind-Blessed (2)

Summoned Creatures: Skeleton Race

After reading the gist of it, Li Huan was in a very good mood. After all, after obtaining that piece of equipment, his capabilities had really risen by a lot!

Since he had achieved his goal, there was no need to stay there anymore.

Li Huan pushed the door open, preparing to buy a few things that he would need for the road. He planned to set off within the next two days.

But for some reason, as soon as he stepped out, he felt a faint, eerie aura in the air.

He had a bad feeling about it.

But thereafter, the place continued to bustle with activity. He could not detect anything out of the ordinary.

After buying some essential supplies for his journey, Li Huan suddenly saw a symbol carved on a few inconspicuous buildings by the side of the road.

A hand broke out through the earth on the ground. The background of the whole scene was an angel trapped by a chain around it.

If anyone else had taken a look at that symbol, they might think that it was some tattoo artist’s signature mark or something.

But Li Huan was most familiar with that symbol!

That, was the symbol of the Dark Council!

But it shouldn’t be? Based on his memory, the plot involving the Dark Council’s presence in that city would only come a few years later?

After thinking for a while, Li Huan suddenly understood. The plot about the Dark Council’s presence there was related to the Level 30 Pyromancer! He had helped that Pyromancer reach Level 30 himself! And that had led to the arrival of the Dark Council!
