Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 79

"Our two goals in coming here are simple. The first objective is the two magic pieces of equipment that are in the possession of these two young people and the second objective is this young woman "James Gate spoke solemnly before pointing to Liu Xia.

"What kind of magical equipment are you looking for?" Tang Chen pretended to know nothing and asked casually.

"Princ.i.p.al Tang, do you think we are idiots or something?" James Gate asked angrily, did he know that Tang Chen was playing with them, if he didn"t know what the group was looking for, he would be a great idiot that he should quit his job.

"I didn"t mean to offend you, dear guests, but I don"t know what you"re looking for" Tang Chen replied with an innocent face. He knows about the two magical pieces of equipment that were in the possession of Liu Yang and Liu Xia, and he also had a vague idea about Liu Xia"s true ident.i.ty. But he preferred to pretend not to know how far this situation could go.

"Regarding our first objective, we want to make an agreement with China on the two magical pieces of equipment of the G.o.d of Elements" James Gate"s words sparked everyone"s interest. The words G.o.d of the Elements was like a myth for magicians.

The G.o.d of the Elements was what they called the most powerful mage in all recorded history, he could use all seven elements and their variations, besides, he also had the element of summoning and void. The nickname G.o.d of the Elements was given because he managed to reach the peak of cultivation and reached the level of the Mage G.o.d.

n.o.body knows the origin of the G.o.d of Element or his name, the only thing they knew was that he lived in another era of magic before 2012. Evidence reports that the ancient age of magic was more than ten thousand years ago, but was replaced by another era later.

The only thing known about the ages was that from time to time, the world would change radically and new races that were hidden will appear again and others will disappear.

In some historical tales, it shows that the human race disappeared for some ages before returning, during that time, vampires, dryads and other races ruled the world.

Before he died, the G.o.d of the Elements left a place containing his things, the place was locked by a lock and it took ten keys to open, each key represented one of the elements.

Legends say that the G.o.d of the Elements left ways for someone to advance from the Saint-level to the G.o.d level. No one knows whether this is true or not, but everyone wanted to find out about it.

The thought about the possibility of becoming a Mage G.o.d is something that makes people greedy to the point of causing ma.s.sacres for that.

Because of this, the search for the inheritance of the G.o.d of the Elements became the new Arms Race of the new world.

"I see ... As for your second goal?" Tang Chen asked, he looked directly into James Gate"s eyes and asked. Despite the casual look, James Gate felt a great pressure on his body.


"Let"s talk about that goal first" James Gate looked at Liu Xia for a moment before answering Tang Chen"s question. This quick look did not go unnoticed by Tang Chen, he just laughed internally at this action.

(Are you thinking you can kidnap the young miss? You are underestimating this old man"s skills) Tang Chen was already prepared for possible conflicts with the other side.

"It"s all right"

"The USNAF wants to make a deal with China, we want one of the magic equipment in your possession. In return for that, we will deliver rare and extremely precious materials "James Gate spoke to his offer, his country is very interested in the nine artifacts left by the G.o.d of Elements.

"I thought the USNAF already had one of ten magic equipment, why do you want another one? Didn"t countries sign an agreement not to try to get these pieces of equipment until they find the other three pieces of equipment and the lost lock? "Tang Chen asked. This treaty was signed to prevent other countries from trying to steal the magical equipment of the G.o.d of the Elements.

"This may be true, but some things happened and we had to change plans, especially after some things happened. Besides, China doesn"t need two of the ten magic equipment, just one is enough "James Gate spoke unnaturally, he didn"t want to talk about it.

"I see ... It seems that the rumors are true. The USNAF lost the magical equipment of the G.o.d of Elements that was in your possession "Tang Chen spoke slowly, but each word was a sharp sword piercing James Gate"s heart.

The loss of one of the ten magic pieces of equipment of G.o.d the Elements was a disaster for the USNAF, there are only ten such pieces of equipment, and they had one of them. But they were stolen in the end.

Tang Chen"s words did not surprise the other four visitors, as they also knew this information. But it was different for Liu Yang and Liu Xia, for someone managed to steal something from the USNAF military, these people must be extremely dangerous and bold.

The two didn"t know much about the world, but some information they did. The USNAF was one of the world"s superpowers and governs the territory in the north of the American continent.

"This is not something that princ.i.p.al Tang, China or any other country needs to be concerned about. We at the USNAF will solve this ourselves, "James Gate said solemnly, the rob of the magic equipment was a great humiliation for them.

"So we have no reason to negotiate with you, if you manage to recover your magic equipment, the situation will return to what it was before. Besides, the USNAF may try to negotiate with the other five countries that also have one of the ten magic equipment. Apart from the three, who are missing, there are still six who have known owners "Tang Chen spoke casually, he showed no sympathy for the USNAF situation, if China that was stolen, the other countries would be happy with this situation. Just as other countries are happy with the USNAF situation.

James Gate did not comment on Tang Chen"s words, if the other side were in the same situation, they would do the same thing.

"I see ... It looks like there is no room for negotiation" James Gate spoke coolly after thinking about it.

"And you? What kind of affairs do you have with us? "Tang Chen spoke to the other four guests.

"I am here to talk about an alliance with China," The princess of the United Kingdom said, she had other goals for this meeting.

"My country wants a small agreement with China, we want something that you have in your country" Selim Kaasi spoke up.

"I"m here to do some business on pills made in China" Camila Boni spoke next.

"I am here to talk about the two magical equipment held by China," Fred Alberts said.

The other four spoke of their interests in coming to China.

"I see ... You two can talk to s.h.i.+ Wu, he will a.s.sist you in this matter." Tang Chen waved his hand and s.h.i.+ Wu appeared in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me" s.h.i.+ Wu gestured to two guests who wanted to do business, the three left the room.

"Princess Backer, what kind of alliance are you talking about?" Tang Chen was curious to know about this.

"We want to do a small alliance with China, as for the details, I prefer to speak in private" The princess spoke mysteriously, her manner was graceful and refined as a royal lady.

"Okay, we can talk about this later when this little conversation is over"

"Don"t worry about it" The princess didn"t mind waiting a while.

"We, at the Union of European Nations, have found clues about the thieves who stole USNAF"s magic equipment. And we think the next target will be China since you are the only country that has two magical equipment that belongs to the G.o.d of Elements "Fred Huberts spoke solemnly, he knew that this was a very serious matter.

The other side was still unknown and they did not have the luxury of losing their magic equipment.

"I see ... But what kind of affairs do you have with us?"

"We would like to ask for China"s cooperation on this matter. If they stole the equipment from the USNAF, they must also aim to steal the other six pieces of equipment. "

"Was this done by the Returning G.o.d Sect?" Tang Chen looked at Fred Huberts and asked solemnly. This conversation was supposed to be private, as it was very serious and dangerous, but Tang Chen let Liu Yang and Liu Xia listen carefully and quietly.

"Well ... We are still finding out about it ..." Fred Huberts didn"t know how to answer that question, they were just suspicious and nothing was proven.

"It was they, they who invaded our base and stole the magic equipment."

"How can you be so sure of that?"

"We captured one of them before they could escape after we tortured him, he spoke of his origin." James Gate spoke angrily, he had a lot of hatred for this group.

"Did you find out anything else?"

"No, his body was destroyed before we can extract any more information"

"It seems that the situation is quite complicated ... Regarding the two magic equipment, you need to talk to the young master and the young miss, as they are the owners, they who decide what to do with it"

"I didn"t know that China was so irresponsible as to leave two of the ten most precious and unique magic equipment in the world in the hands of two children" These words aroused the curiosity of the other two guests, they also did not understand the reason for a country leave these two items in the possession of two children.

"You don"t have to worry about that, this is something from our country. Young master, young miss, what do you think of that? "Tang Chen asked the couple"s opinion.

The three guests looked at the two waiting for their answers.
