Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 114 Arrival at the Ancient Capital
At this moment, Mo Fan used both hands, and purple lightning and scorching flames intertwined.

Now he was able to release Fire Spray the instant he completed the Thunder Seal. With the power of Level 4 magic, these slave-level undead in front of him could basically be killed instantly by Mo Fan.

“Damn it, I told you before not to panic. There’s no point in panicking!” Mo Fan jumped in front of a villager who had broken his leg, and shouted angrily and helplessly.

Mo Fan squatted down and carried the villager with a broken leg on his back. The young man was in so much pain that his snot and tears were mixed on his face, making him look very disgusting.

“Be patient, once we get to the city the healing wizard will help you heal your leg!” Mo Fan said with a little impatience.

Mo Fan was also very annoyed. The undead that attacked them were not strong at all. He could even kill them all by himself. But these villagers were too stupid. It was obvious that they would be safe if they stayed with him and Lin Ran, but there were always a few smart idiots who ran away when they saw the undead coming... How stupid!
Mo Fan was in a bad mood. He threw the villagers to a safe place. He noticed that Lin Ran was still killing the undead not far away.

Mo Fan let out a breath, and then vented all his unhappiness on these undead spirits that came out to hurt people in broad daylight. It was obvious that he only needed to blast them into pieces with fire, but Mo Fan used intermediate-level lightning magic.

The terrifying Thunderbolt Yaksha descended from the sky, and the few undead spirits that wanted to attack people were torn to pieces by Mo Fan's thunder claws, and turned into blood mist in a moment.

After the thunder, Liu Ru also picked up two villagers who had escaped from them and threw them in front of Mo Fan. Were these villagers frightened out of their wits?

She looked around and said to Mo Fan, "These villagers are frightened."

Mo Fan took a look at the three young men beside him who were injured because of running around, and felt a little angry.

Glancing at the scattered corpses of the undead, Mo Fan sighed and said, "Let's go. These people are too stupid."

Mo Fan and Liu Ru handed several injured villagers over to Su Xiaoluo's care. Su Xiaoluo brought some medicine with her to relieve the pain.

"Fiery Fist!!!!" At this time, Lin Ran released the Fiery Fist to eliminate all the remaining undead.

After a while, everyone sat together. No one spoke and the atmosphere was very solemn. Several frightened children cried softly. Although no one died this time, some people were injured.

Liu Ru sat next to Lin Ran, gently pushed him, and whispered: "I just met a strange undead boy."

At this time, Liu Xian sat next to Lin Ran, and Mo Fan was also waiting for Liu Ru's next words.

Afterwards, Liu Ru recounted the story of the undead boy she met. Mo Fan's face became more solemn, and he unconsciously glanced at the village chief Xie Sang who was not far away.

For some reason, he always felt that these things had something to do with the village chief who was hiding something. The undead who could attack people in broad daylight was really unheard of...

"Do you want us to check it out?" Liu Ru asked.

“Forget it, there’s nothing to investigate. Send these people to the ancient capital and let them do whatever they want.” Mo Fan really didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. He was furious just now.

Lin Ran also nodded and said, "Since they don't want to say anything, then forget it, just go back to the ancient capital."

"Well, if we send them to the ancient capital, there shouldn't be any danger." Liu Ru nodded.

……

After a long time, the undead stopped appearing. Looking at the sky, Mo Fan felt that he could not waste any more time here.

These undead spirits can come out and hurt people during the day. Hiding in the rock circle is not a long-term solution. It is better to reach the ancient capital before dark. Who knows if there will be powerful undead spirits at night!
Lin Ran and Mo Fan began to urge everyone to continue on their journey. This time, Mo Fan wanted to tie up all the villagers with ropes to prevent them from panicking when encountering any problems.

After experiencing the previous battle, everyone recognized the strength of Mo Fan and Lin Ran. They were not blind. Mo Fan's ability to kill an undead in seconds with one magic made them feel a little more at ease. Lin Ran's ability to kill a large group of undead with one punch made people even more at ease.

As we moved forward, it got darker, but fortunately the towering city walls that were hazy in the afternoon mist on the horizon gradually appeared before us.

Because it was daytime, there were some military mages patrolling outside the outer city wall. After seeing these military mages, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly quickened their pace to hide in the city.

A group of people walked to the city gate, where a team of mages in military uniforms were guarding it.

"Are you from Huacun, Weiju Village?" The guard mage looked at them with confusion.

"Yes, yes, I am the village chief." Village chief Xie Sang hurriedly took out a seal, which could indicate his identity as the village chief of Weiju Village.

"Recently, everyone in the city is talking about you, the dangerous villagers." said another young guard.

"Talking about us, what happened?" At this time, Hong Jun looked at them with confusion.

A guard captain curled his lips, then took a copy of today's morning newspaper and showed it to the village chief.

The village chief picked it up and saw a striking title at first glance!
"The six dangerous villages in the Xianchi area were all looted by the undead, and there are few survivors!"

The village chief was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that only their Hua Village was attacked by the undead, but he did not expect that other villages were also attacked and destroyed. If he had not arrived in the ancient capital, he really would not know.

However, this news seemed to make the expression on the village chief's face even weirder, as if there were some things that he simply couldn't understand.

"Then we'll be leaving. You can make your own arrangements for what's next." The more Mo Fan looked at the village chief, the more strange he felt. He no longer wanted to get involved in this mess.

I looked at Lin Ran and found that he was still in deep thought.

“Thank you so much. I didn’t expect that you are the same age as our Hong Jun, but you are already so strong.” An aunt said excitedly to Mo Fan and Lin Ran.

“Without you, I’m afraid we would be in the same situation as other endangered villages. Thank you so much.” Su Xiaoluo had just come back to her senses from the news of the destruction of other villages and hurriedly thanked Mo Fan and Lin Ran.

Mo Fan and Lin Ran were about to leave, but a problem arose.

Zhang Xiaohou only knows Su Xiaoluo now. Originally, Mo Fan and Lin Ran wanted to take him away from here and send him to Xinxia for spiritual healing, but this idiot refused to go anywhere and was only willing to stay with Su Xiaoluo. He was simply like an unreasonable idiot.

Mo Fan was helpless with the amnesiac Zhang Xiaohou, and finally said helplessly: "I will notify the military district first, you can take this guy with you first."

Anyway, we have arrived in the ancient capital now, so Zhang Xiaohou will naturally be fine. It is okay for him to stay with Su Xiaoluo, and Su Xiaoluo can also treat Zhang Xiaohou's hidden illnesses.

The people from Hua Village followed Hong Jun and left. It seemed that the people from the Magic Association would arrange accommodation for the remaining people in the dangerous villages. This was not something that Lin Ran and Mo Fan had to worry about.

……

Mo Fan told his instructor Fei Jiao about Zhang Xiaohou's situation, only to find out that Fei Jiao was still on a mission and would take at least a day to return.

Mo Fan felt uneasy if he didn't cure Zhang Xiaohou and hand him over to the military district, so he decided to stay in the ancient capital with Lin Ran for a few more days and go back after things were sorted out.

"Where are we going next?" Liu Ru looked around. She seemed very curious about everything in the ancient capital.

Lin Ran said, "Mu Bai is here, right?"

“Well, it’s time for us to go meet our fellow countrymen in Bo City.” Mo Fan said.

"Is that so?" Liu Ru said.

"I don't know how they are doing." Lin Ran was a little curious about Mu Bai's current situation.

"I am also very curious……"

……

Following the address given by the short man, Mo Fan and Lin Ran quickly found the street that was said to be occupied by the people of Bo City.

This street is not long, it is a crossroad between two main roads, and magical items are sold on this crossroad.

Mo Fan and Lin Ran were both from a famous magic school, and they were both mid-level magicians. This was considered a high status in society, but in reality, there were still many mages and civilians struggling at the bottom of the magic world. They were running small businesses related to magic, buying and selling magic tool materials, or reselling magic stones, and purchasing some usable parts of monsters...

The same is true for Huili Street, where most of the items sold are very small magic items, and the prices are generally only between 500 and 1 yuan. Because there are many second-hand magic tools and materials, the value is difficult to estimate. This kind of magic selling street is like an antique street or a magic nine-yuan store. Many cash-strapped mages will come here to shop, and occasionally they can get good stuff. For them, one more magic tool is a qualitative leap in strength!
Mo Fan and Lin Ran didn’t expect to see everyone. After all, they didn’t necessarily know all the people from Bo City. They came here just to see how their fellow Bo City people were doing…

After walking past several stores, Mo Fan discovered that most of the store clerks and bosses were from Bo City, with thick southern accents. From their looks, one could tell that they were living a pretty good life; they were all smiling, with no trace of the gloom of disaster at all.

"Fuck, what the hell is this? It's all garbage. I spent over a hundred thousand on it. It's such a waste of money!!" A slightly hoarse voice echoed in the store, and the sound was really unpleasant.

However, this Mo Fan sounded very familiar. At first glance, he found that the boss who made the scream was a man with a dark face, small eyes, and a flat nose. Although the shape of his face had changed a little, he basically looked the same as in high school.

Lin opened his mouth and said, "It was Zhao Kunsan. We used to quarrel so often."

"Zhao Tuizi!" Mo Fan immediately greeted the man with a smile.

Zhao Kunsan is very angry now, because his men brought back a bunch of junk. He was worrying about how to sell them to make back the 100,000 yuan he invested. Then he heard someone calling his nickname, and he got angry instantly!
Zhao Kunsan followed Mu Bai, and Mu Bai now treated him as a half-brother instead of a lackey, but these blind people kept calling him like that.

“You’re looking for death, you’re looking for death, believe it or not, I can kill you with a single spell. Let me tell you, I’m a mage, a third-level beginner mage!” Zhao Kunsan yelled at Mo Fan who had just entered the store…

As he cursed, his voice gradually became softer, and then he looked at Mo Fan and Lin Ran, who were smiling beside him, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Damn it, why are it you?" Zhao Kunsan stared with his eyes wide open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan!!

How could it be them? Zhao Kunsan hadn't seen Lin Ran and Mo Fan since the Bo City disaster. He heard that they were now famous and doing well in Mingzhu Academy.

Zhao Kunsan was very busy every day, so he didn't pay much attention to Mo Fan and Lin Ran.

But Zhao Kunsan knew that Mu Bai had been keeping an eye on them. Every time he heard about Mo Fan, Mu Bai would immediately go into seclusion and practice hard. Ultimately, he wanted to surpass Mo Fan and avenge his previous defeat.

“Yes, hi. Long time no see.” Mo Fan smiled brightly, but there were already arcs of lightning moving on his palms. As long as this guy uttered another dirty word that made Mo Fan unhappy, Mo Fan would not mind teaching him a lesson like he did in high school.

Lin Ran said, "Long time no see."

"Boss, do you want me to get someone to kick them out? Don't they know where we are?" When the waiter saw the boss's reaction, he immediately looked anxious to protect his master.

"Get out of here, it's none of your business." Zhao Kunsan said impatiently.

What a joke! Even if all the mages on this street were called over, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat Mo Fan, not to mention Lin Ran was also there. Zhao Kunsan was not a fool, how could he not know the current strength of Mo Fan and Lin Ran.

“You’re living a pretty good life.” Mo Fan retracted his lightning power, then walked up to Zhao Kunsan and patted him on the shoulder.

Zhao Kunsan smiled very unhappily and responded reluctantly.

……

Zhao Kunsan was indeed a lackey, and he quickly reported to Mu Bai that Mo Fan and Lin Ran had come to disrupt the store.

Mu Bai came very quickly. Mo Fan and Lin Ran hadn't even had a few sips of tea when Mu Bai walked in expressionlessly. "Hey~ Green Tea Man, long time no see." Mo Fan looked at Mu Bai.

"Long time no see." Lin Ran said. He was very happy to meet an acquaintance.

Mu Bai was still dressed very decently, with a carefully done hairstyle. It was unclear whether his outfit was real or fake, but he looked like a child from a wealthy family.

However, Mu Bai's expression was less proud and conceited than before, and more calm and steady. It was estimated that the events in Bo City had a significant impact on him.

I heard from the short man before that this street was bought by Mu Bai. Now it seems that Mu Bai’s business skills are also very impressive. After all, the shops on this street are not cheap.

Judging from the current situation, Mu Bai should continue to work hard on his cultivation, and his lackey Zhao Kunsan should be in charge of the shop affairs. Most of the other people who migrated from Bo City came here to work for him. Mu Bai did a good thing, making it known here that the residents of Bo City do not have to live under the roof of others.

Mu Bai had walked in with no emotion at first, but when he heard Mo Fan say "green tea boy", his face suddenly darkened, and he must have cursed Mo Fan in his heart.

Liu Ru and Liu Xian sat aside, watching the people in front of them. They always felt that the relationship between Mo Fan and these two old classmates was very strange. Also, Lin Ran had a strange smile on his face the whole time, as if he was watching a play.

“Since you guys are here, I’ll ask Zhou Min to come over tonight so we can all get together.” Mu Bai was a man of dignity after all, and he was too lazy to get into a fight with a psychopath like Mo Fan.

"Long time no see." Mu Bai looked at Lin Ran and said.

"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded.

"Is Zhou Min also in the ancient capital?" Mo Fan asked in surprise.

Mo Fan hadn't been in touch with Zhou Min for a long time. The disaster in Bo City caused too many people to lose contact. Mo Fan didn't know where his former classmates had gone, and he didn't have their contact information.

"She is my classmate at the Ancient Capital Academy. Wasn't there a nomination dispute recently? She has been in seclusion for a long time, and I haven't seen her for a long time." Mu Bai took a sip of tea and spoke.

"Oh?"

"Of course, her chances of winning the nomination are virtually nonexistent."

Mo Fan nodded. The competition for the nomination was not an easy thing. Zhou Min's family was very ordinary, and it would be very difficult for him to squeeze into the top ten of all the ancient capital schools simply by hard work.

"Also, Fatty Wang is also here, let's call them all." Zhao Kunsan remembered something and said hurriedly.

"it is good."

Everyone had survived the Bo City disaster, and could be considered to have been through life and death together. The little grudges they had in school before were actually nothing now, but Mu Bai was still not convinced.

"I have booked a place. When they heard that you were coming to the ancient capital, they both agreed to come over for a get-together." Mu Bai put down his phone and said to Mo Fan and Lin Ran.

"Green... No, Mu Bai, are you working for the Mu family now, or on your own?" Mo Fan looked around the shops here. In fact, the value of the shops on this street is very high.

"Myself, the Mu family... Humph, they treat us like beggars." Mu Bai snorted coldly, and it was obvious that he had a grudge against the Mu family.

Lin Ran knew a little bit about Mu Bai's resentment.

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested in listening.

"It's no use telling you this. In short, the big Mu family doesn't take our small branch family seriously at all. Even Uncle Mu Zhuoyun is not very satisfied. The only one they care about is Mu Ningxue because of Mu Ningxue's natural talent..." Mu Bai said.

"Oh, her natural talent is indeed very strong." Mo Fan nodded and said.

Speaking of Mu Ningxue, Lin Ran would chat with her from time to time to consolidate their relationship.

Mu Ningxue's natural talent is not just as simple as it appears. The amazing power of her Ice Crystal Bow is also very terrifying.

……

In an authentic Shaanxi restaurant, Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhao Kunsan, Wang Sanpang, Zhou Min and Lin Ran sat together. This was probably the only high school reunion since the Bo City disaster. Seeing these familiar faces, Mo Fan and Lin Ran were still very relieved.

"Lin Ran, aren't your girlfriends coming with us?" Zhao Kunsan couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, they have something else to do." Lin Ran knew that Zhao Kunsan was referring to Liu Ru and Liu Xian.

Liu Ru didn't know any of the people here, and most of them were sitting together talking about their past in high school, so there was no need for them to get involved, so they went to find Su Xiaoluo and the others to see how the people in the dangerous village were being resettled.

"You actually have a girlfriend? And two at that?" Zhou Min looked at Lin Ran, blinking his clear big eyes, and looked very gossipy.

"Hahaha, it's a small matter." Lin Ran said.

"Speaking of which, our squad leader Zhou Min has grown up and become more and more beautiful. Why didn't any of you do anything to her?" Mo Fan couldn't help but say.

Wang Sanpang and Zhao Kunsan both laughed dryly, they wanted to make a move but neither of them had reached the level of a mid-level mage, and they didn't even have the hope of becoming one in this lifetime. Zhou Min was now considered a top student in the Ancient Capital Academy, so how could they be a match?

"How was your training in Yanta?" Mu Bai suddenly asked Zhou Min.

Zhou Min was dressed very simply today, in white. Her phoenix eyes still held the pride and stubbornness of a young girl. However, it was obvious that she was very excited after not seeing Mo Fan for such a long time. She always grabbed Mo Fan and asked him questions.

"Don't even mention cultivation in front of these two perverts." Zhou Min's voice became a little higher, and he even rolled his eyes.

“No, no… I’ve studied many subjects and my cultivation is very diverse. The real abnormal one is Lin Ran.” Mo Fan said modestly.

“Okay, let’s see what level you are now.” Zhou Min felt that Mo Fan was being set up on purpose, so he continued speaking.

Zhou Min was also very rude and directly used his mind to probe Mo Fan's body.

Mo Fan was not mentally prepared, and suddenly felt Zhou Min's thoughts running around in his own spiritual world. This kind of thoughts would not cause any harm, as long as they were not from a psychic mage, they would not pose any threat to others.

“What? It’s just a second-level nebula!” Zhou Min was driven out by Mo Fan after she discovered one of his nebulas, which made Zhou Min unhappy and she pouted.

“Hehe, I didn’t say I’m strong.” Mo Fan smiled modestly.

"Damn, the second-level nebula is already very powerful!!" Wang Sanpang screamed at this time, looking completely devastated.

"Zhou Min, does that mean you have reached the third level now?" Mu Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

"Not yet. If I learn the Fiery Fist: Nine Palaces, I will be able to deal with the corpse generals, and my ranking will be higher. By the way, Lin Ran, what is your current cultivation level?" Zhou Min said.

The old classmates also looked at Lin Ran, and everyone knew that he was a pervert.

"It's a high level, I guess." Lin Ran said.

"What do you mean it's just high-level? You monster!" everyone said.

Mo Fan couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhou Min's complaint, and then asked his own question: "Your ranking is based on your ability to defeat zombie generals?"

"To be precise, it's against the undead." Mu Bai corrected. Seeing that Mo Fan was still confused, he continued, "Instead of letting students engage in meaningless competition, it is better to focus their energy on the undead. There are almost endless undead to kill on this land, so our school will use the number of undead killed as credits. The higher the credits, the higher the ranking will naturally be. Students who want to be nominated will squat by the outer city wall every night as if they were injected with chicken blood."

Mo Fan nodded. It turned out that different schools adopted different mechanisms. The Ancient Capital Academy was really interesting. They actually ranked students based on their performance in killing undead.

"In addition to killing the undead, we also send students to the outer city wall to perform duties every once in a while. I was supposed to be on duty today, but you two came and sneaked over from a long distance..." Zhou Min said with a resentful look on his face.

"I'm really flattered." Mo Fan also laughed. Zhou Min was quite cute.

"Can you complete the credits in this way? If the credits are not enough, the allocated resources will be very few." Mu Bai looked at Zhou Min and said.

"It doesn't matter if I don't take a month's resources. We finally get together. I actually miss you a lot." Zhou Min said.

After this statement was made, everyone was silent for a moment, but they all agreed with what Zhou Min said in their hearts.

In high school, we awakened together on the playground, learned magic together, practiced hard for grades together, and experienced the wild together. Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Becoming a wizard, especially a high-level wizard, is actually far from being as carefree as imagined. Most of the time, we are facing life and death.

This is how it was. On the first day they entered Tianlan Magic High School, Principal Zhu told them all what the duties of a wizard were.

Ordinary people can choose to live a peaceful life, but this is unlikely for mages.

Over the years, people have witnessed countless deaths.

“By the way, isn’t Xu Zhaoting in the same school as you?” Zhao Kunsan remembered something and interrupted Zhou Min’s topic.

Mu Bai said, "Xu Zhaoting came here with his girlfriend before."

"His girlfriend is very beautiful." Wang Sanpang spoke at this time. He and Xu Zhaoting were close friends and kept in touch frequently. He felt very pleased and a little envious when he saw that his close friend had a very good girlfriend.

As they were talking, the topic turned to the Black Church. Mu Bai asked Lin Ran and the others about what happened to them.

After hearing what Lin Ran and Mo Fan said, everyone was very angry.

"These bastards." Wang Sanpang couldn't help but say, if it weren't for these bastards, Bo City would never be like this.

Lin Ran was in a bad mood, so he took a sip of wine and said, "How about we go beat up the undead?"

"I'm very angry now and I want to use magic." Mo Fan said.

Everyone laughed and said, "Let's go, then."

"Hey, let's go." Zhou Min also spoke.

"By the way, why did you come here?" Mu Bai suddenly asked.

Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan looked at the few people and told them why he came here.

"He has lost his memory... Then let's go see him after we beat the undead." Zhou Min said.

Mu Bai also nodded.
