Abe the Wizard

–Abel did some calculations. It was only his first day, and he had gained 30.4 war glory. If he continued like this, he would be able to go back to his domain to train.

While he was still thinking, k3305 and k3308 walked towards him. K3308 said with a gentle smile, “k3516; you got quite a lot of war glory, didn’t you!”

“It’s not bad; I wonder how they calculated it?” Abel had gotten 8.4 war glory in total for killing orcs, but he didn’t actually know the details about how war glory was actually calculated. The Miracle spirit had given him such an odd number, so it should be correct.

Abel might be the only one in Miracle City who would question the Miracle Spirit. The Miracle Spirit was basically the god of Miracle City. It was in charge of everything, from every individual mission to organizing the entire Miracle City military force.

“I know!” K3308 replied. He then continued in a very confident tone “Killing wolf rider captain gives you 1 war glory. Killing orc deity gives you 1.5 war glory. Killing intermediate deities gives you 3 war glory. Normal orcs are around 0.01-0.1 war glory!”

After hearing k3308’s explanation, Abel began to recall his battle. He had killed 3 wolf rider captains and 5 deities, so how come he only got so little war glory?

“Is it a little lower than you think?” K3305 said with a smile and continued, “let’s go to return our horseback deer first; I’ll tell you more along the way !”

K3308 was riding a chocobo, but he still tagged along with k3305 and said, “I’ll go with you guys, and let’s find something to eat after. It’s so late already, and I’m starving!”

“Since we are in a battle formation during the battle, our war glory is calculated according to the damage we do. The calculation is complicated. You will only get all the war glory if you killed an orc outside of Miracle City by yourself!” K3305 explained as they walked.

Abel was not totally against this idea. Just like wizards, for example, they could only safely attack with spells with the knight formation protecting them, so it made to give the knights some war glory.

By this point, he also realized how hard it must have been for his father, the Knight of Bennett, and The Lord of Marshall. A knight would probably only get around zero point something war glory with each mission, and they had to take higher risks.

Just like this mission–even with Abel’s scary archery skills, a few knights had died.

Of course, this was classified as an advanced mission since only official knights were allowed. In the mission hall, there were some missions with normal warriors; they might not even have a chance to land a single strike against the orcs. They could only rely on maintaining their formation and techniques.

Abel, k3305, and k3308 went back to the wizard camp. It had already passed dinner time, so there were no wizards left in the restaurants. The wizards didn’t have that much free time to dwell around; they were all either on missions or doing training.

Of course, k3308 was a special guy. If k3305 didn’t tell him to eat faster, he would have taken longer to enjoy his food.

Afterward, they went back to their accommodations. Abel used his military card to open the gate. At that moment, his servant Peman was no longer there. Servants would only come to serve in the day, even in the best area like area a.

Abel stepped into the room and ignited the protection circle. He set up the barrier circle in the training room. If he didn’t have a barrier circle, he could be tracked by the Miracle Spirit.

There was no way Abel would have the guts to open a portal door if that was the case.

He ignited the portal door and arrived at the Rogue Encampment. He then arrived at his little hotel in Lut Gholein through the small teleportation station.

Although he felt a strange power in the Rogue Encampment, he did not feel too safe using the power that did not belong to him. Feeling invincible might make him lose himself, so he still chose Lut Gholein.

He got quite a lot of rewards this time–Five portal objects. They just looked a little disgusting since they were made up of skulls and ribs.

Abel brushed them with his power of will and everything within those five portal objects were thrown out onto the ground at once.

Abel almost immediately regretted his action as a horrific smell spewed out.

He used the fastest method to examine and divide those objects, pick out the useful stuff, and throw the useless stuff aside.

There were 2 scrolls of deity training knowledge, and none of them were about spell patterns. One of them was a user guide, so it was rubbish to Abel.

He threw the other training mindset guide to the side. His hope of learning the ‘skeleton support’ spell pattern was shattered.

But it made sense. Who would bring a spell pattern guide to a mission in battle; they needed to safe space for the most useful stuff.

Both beginner wizards and deities had the same 1 square meter size portal bag. It was sad how little stuff they could fit.

Abel picked up a green bottle. It looked familiar. It was the potion that deity had thrown out to stop the charging knights near the end of the battle.

Abel opened the lid, and green smoke began to sift out. Although Abel didn’t know too much about poison, he had an alchemist pattern within him. He could identify how strong a poison was.

This was a combined poison. But of course, it was not as simple as mixing a few types of potions. Every potion needed to have a special element.

Sometimes, combining random poisons would just weaken the effect of both, and sometimes even defuse it. On top of that, the ingredients for poison were tough to get. These few bottles of poisons were the life savers for those orc deities.

It was too bad Abel’s bow was too fast; they didn’t even have time to use them.

“6 bottles of poisons!” Abel thought to himself as he cleared out his Horadric Cube. He wanted to combine the 6 poisons to see if he could get anything more potent.

Just like a walk in the park, Abel ended up with 2 bottles of green potions with blue electric arcs. By that point, he no longer dared to open it. He didn’t know the power of these combined potions, and his last bottle of poison antidote from the dark world had been used. He would be in big trouble if he got poisoned.

He would just test it out when he ran into a powerful enemy in the future, Abel thought to himself as he placed the poisons in his portal bracelet.

Afterward, he picked up a deity magic staff. It had a death qi adding ability, which was useless to Abel, so he threw it in towards the pile of useless stuff by the side.

He noticed 127 weird little skulls. He held one up in his hand. It was filled with death qi. It was some kind of death qi concentrator, similar to magic stones or the gems in the Dark World.

“Gems!” Abel suddenly thought to himself. It was a skull gem.

A skull was a type of gem in the Dark World. He had never seen one among the human or dwarfs in the Holy Continent, but he finally found one in a deity’s portal object.

To confirm this idea, all he needed to do was to throw it in his Horadric Cube.

Afterward, a message appeared on his Horadric Cube.

Chipped Skull

Can place in a socket

Weapon: Steal 2% life and 1% mana per hit

Helm or Armor: +2 Replenish life and +8% mana regeneration rate

Shield: Attacker takes damage of 4

This might be the most practical gem. Although it was only valid on physical attacks, Abel was a powerful knight. He did physical attacks regularly.

However, Abel did not feel too well as he looked at the word “Chipped.” He rarely had any “chipped” gems before. He only had flawed ones at most.
