Versatile Mage: A random forbidden spell every month

Chapter 104 You Can't Pay the Interest
It rained for three days straight. If it weren't for playing cards to relieve his fatigue, Li Xingze would have felt like he was going to moldy.

"Three days! I lost two million in three days. What the hell!"

The short man looked as if he was doubting his life. He only earned 20 million in this trip, and he had to share a portion with the strong man.

"There are people who have lost more than you, so just be happy."

The short man rolled his eyes. Others always brought two big bodyguards with them when they went out. How could he compare with them?

Li Xingze glanced at Asharuya and said, "Remember to transfer the money to my card when you get back. Don't default on it."

"Don't run away, let's continue." The short man grabbed Mo Fan's arm. Li Xingze and Mo Fan were the winners of the game of Landlord.

Li Xingze didn't dare to interfere, but Mo Fan was not afraid.

"The rain has stopped, let's hurry to Hua Village."

Mo Fan refused. He was already bored of playing poker after three days.

Now that the heavy rain has stopped, it is a good time for him to go find Zhang Xiaohou. This is the purpose of his coming to the ancient capital.

"Why are we still going after all this? I've heard a long time ago that there's a demon abyss near Hua Village. If we accidentally step into it, hundreds of lives won't be enough to kill us!"

The short man had not been very resistant before, but it had been raining heavily for three days in a row, which might be some ominous sign. He thought it would be safer to go back to the ancient capital.

"It's okay if you don't go to Huacun, then I'll refund the money."

"That's even worse."

The short man shook his head repeatedly. He lost two million on this trip. That was a huge loss!

"Then lead the way."

"I have to go to Hua Village as well. I haven't been back to Yangyang Village for several years. Although I don't know why my uncle never lets me go back, when I went back this time I saw that the village was gone. I have to find out everything."

The strong man said seriously that after all, they were family members whose blood was thicker than water, so he would naturally not be indifferent to the disappearance of the village.

"Okay, okay, you can't leave me alone when I'm in danger."

The short man looked helpless, but finally he believed in Li Xingze's strength. After all, the strength he showed was indeed extremely powerful.

Looking at Hua Village, which was also destroyed, although it was much better than the previous Yangyang Village, there was still no one here. The short man and the big and strong man were all stunned.

Walking into the village, the village path was in a mess, with destroyed wooden houses, scattered haystacks, and some brown bloodstains.
"This should be the trace left by the casting of wind magic."

Li Xingze came to a piece of wood and said as he looked at the smooth cut on it.

As a wind mage, he knew very well that only wind magic could make such fine and smooth cuts, and more than one.

"Wind Mage?"

Mo Fan immediately thought of Zhang Xiaohou and began to frantically search for him in the ruined village.

The big strong man was also searching in a panic, while the short man, Asharuya and the other two were resting where they were.

Li Xingze glanced at the village. He remembered that there should still be talented people in this village.

After searching for a while, he finally locked his target on the well. Li Xingze walked over and looked down.

Sure enough, there is someone!

As the villagers came out one by one, the originally spacious open space was suddenly filled with more than a hundred people.

No one expected that a seemingly small well could accommodate so many people.

Finally, a man and a woman climbed out of the well at the same time. Mo Fan looked at the man with wide eyes, looking incredulous.

Just when he thought Zhang Xiaohou would take the initiative to hug him, he actually stood next to the girl without any reaction, as if he didn't know him at all.

Seeing Mo Fan walk up and forcefully hug Zhang Xiaohou, but Zhang Xiaohou didn't react at all, Li Xingze smiled faintly. He had to admit that his acting was really good! However, at the moment, Li Xingze did not join in the affectionate gaze between the two, but came to Asharuya's side.

"How about it? Did you get the information you wanted?"

Asharuya turned her head and looked at him, and said, "Have you guessed my identity?"

"It does not matter."

"I'm leaving now. See you later."

"Don't forget to put the money on the card, otherwise you won't be able to pay the interest."

Looking at the villagers who would rather stay in the village and wait to die, Li Xingze didn't know what to say to persuade them for a moment, as his own fate was in his own hands.

Since these villagers don't believe in their strength, why should he waste his breath on them?

These people also know that staying here means waiting for death, but they would rather live in the well for a while than take a chance of survival.

Sadly.

"Since it's their decision, there's no point in trying to persuade them. Those who want to leave should gather at the entrance of the village. We'll be leaving in ten minutes. Remember to bring your garlic!"

Village chief Xie Sang said decisively.

In the end, only about thirty people out of the hundreds of people in the village were willing to leave, most of whom were young people.

Xie Sang couldn't help but sigh when he saw so many people staying in the village.

"It's better to have fewer people. If we really have to escort a hundred people, we will definitely be doomed." The short man said very realistically.

If he were really asked to choose, he wouldn't want to take care of anyone. Who would be willing to take care of these burdens?

"How can you say that? These are all living beings." Su Xiaoluo said somewhat unhappily.

The short man rolled his eyes and said confidently, "Other people's lives have nothing to do with me. I can't even take care of myself."

"You!" Su Xiaoluo was furious, but didn't know how to refute.

Li Xingze showed a helpless expression when he saw this scene. This girl is still too young.

If he really had to escort a hundred people, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of all of them even if he summoned the Abyss Dragon.

If someone dies, the blame might be put on him.

Village chief Xie Sang knew better how to get to the ancient capital the closest way, so the responsibility of leading the way fell on his shoulders, while Li Xingze and Mo Fan acted as the guards.

However, these villagers obviously believed Xie Sang and the mage Hong Jun more, and did not trust the two young men Li Xingze and Mo Fan at all.

As for the short man, there is no need to say more. What he said before was heard by many people and gradually spread among the villagers.

The short man didn't care about this, because he really put his own safety first.

This bunch of fools, who don’t even know the real big boss, are just foolishly following the village chief and that half-baked wizard.

The short man stayed close to Li Xingze, so if he encountered danger, he would be able to get help from the big man immediately.

After leaving the village, everyone continued on their way. Due to the bloodline of Weiju Village, the wandering undead did not attack, so they were relatively safe along the way.

After two nights without encountering any attacks from the undead, at this rate of travel, the ancient city could be reached in less than half a day.

But at this time, Li Xingze discovered that the soil under a villager's feet began to loosen.

"Scatter quickly, there are undead!!"

"How is that possible? It's daytime!"
