Abe the Wizard

“Commander spirit, what energy does this thing use?” Abel said as he gazed at the magic circle in the center.

“The best magic circles here are power by gems with full energy!” The Commander spirit replied.

“See if this is enough!” Abel said as he took out a perfect red gem from his portal bracelet.

“Of course. This is perfectly preserved energy, but a single gem is still too weak to power the base!” The Commander spirit was excited when it saw the gem, but it still told Abel the truth.

“I’ll place the gem here. Is that it?” Abel asked.

“Yes, all you need to do is to place it in the center of the circle. The circle can absorb energy from the gem by itself!” The Commander spirit controlled the puppet to point towards the middle of the circle.

Abel began to throw perfect gems towards it. A glow began to intensify in the magic circle.

Ever since Abel realized that the battle fort used perfect gems as an energy source, he had always brought along many of them with him.

These things came in handy just in time.

He had only stopped after he using 5000 pieces.

“Headmaster majesty, the base had now returned to normal operations. After examination, a big rebuild needs to happen until it can be used properly again!” The Commander spirit said happily.

It did not expect this Headmaster to have this much energy with him. This amount of energy was enough for the base to run hundreds of years.

“Let’s head to the next level!” Abel waved his hand. He wanted to see how useful this base actually was.

The energy had come into effect immediately. A beam of white light wrapped around Abel and the labor puppet beside him. Afterward, they disappeared from the first floor and reappeared on the second floor.

The first thing he saw was a huge open space. A sky was replicated with a magic circle. There was not a single building in that space other than a few barracks.

“Headmaster, this is the training ground. Since the energy was replenished, this training ground can replicate any terrain and conditions. This can allow a person to train in the most challenging conditions.” The Commander spirit explained.

Abel couldn’t help but show respect towards the ancients’ training ground. No matter which period of time, training in different environments was not easy. To bring a full team into a truly challenging environment, just the distance alone would be unrealistic.

This was why there were people who said the elves are good at jungle fighting, the dwarfs are good at mountain fighting, the humans are good at city defense, and the orcs are good at plain fighting.

This training ground could make up for humans’ weakness, allowing them to adapt to different environments. This could dramatically increase their fighting power.

However, Abel would not expose this place in the near future. Besides a few core family knights, Abel was not planning to let anyone even come close to this place.

“Commander spirit, replicate a jungle!’ Abel wanted to see it with his own eyes.

“Yes, Headmaster!”

As the words of commander spirit landed. Beams of white light shot up from the ground, forming a web reaching towards the sky. Soon, it had turned into a white wall, dividing the training ground into countless little sections.

There were energy waves in each section, and soon giant trees began to emerge from it.

The white walls vanished, and a jungle emerged in front of Abel. Under his gaze, those trees were just like actual trees.

Perhaps the only thing lacking was life. Abel couldn’t help but step up to touch a tree.

The sensation told him this tree was physically, but it did not have an actual tree’s life force. Since Abel was a druid as well, so he had a good understanding of life force. These trees were all created by a strange magic circle.

“Commander spirit, how were these trees made?” Abel asked curiously.

“They are energy replicated objects, the result of tens of thousands of years of research. Unfortunately, it can only replicate the looks of an object, not the internal. This is all I know. Base 07 and I lost contact with the outer would tens of thousands of years ago, until you showed up today!” The commander spirit explained.

“Amazing!” Abel sighed as he looked at those trees. They looked and felt just like the real thing.

Replicating real-life objects was basically the work of God, but the ancients had already reached that level.

If the ancients had continued their research, maybe they could truly replicate something from in to out.

It was too bad the ancients had vanished from this world. According to the words of the commander spirit, base no.7 might be the last remaining base if the energy of the other ones had been drained after tens of thousands of years.

“Are these energy replicating objects very draining?” Abel asked again.

“Yes, they take up a lot of energy. But most of them can be recycled. The actual energy this replication had used was only 2 perfect gems.” The Commander spirit replied.

Abel couldn’t care less about those perfect gems. His perfect gems could not be used publicly anyway. He could only use it on himself. It didn’t matter how many gems this base needed; at most, it would just take him a little more time.

Abel then arrived on the third floor. It was that seemingly endless sea of bones he was in when he first entered the base.

“Headmaster, this is the examination ground. It replicated the skills of a person with a corresponding skeleton. This is also the only place in the base that could be operated by death qi; that’s why it became the most important place for the base to derive energy!’ The Commander spirit explained.

Abel gazed at the sea of bones. He knew those ancients were definitely not a kind-hearted bunch. With this many skeletons, how many innocent lives had been lost?

But this made sense when looking at their weapons. With a battle fort, It would be a killing machine if it was fully equipped. You could imagine the tempers of these people who made these killing machines.

Especially base no.7. Everything here was all used for battle or security.

“Commander spirit. Why did I get thrown away after I attacked that energy wall? Isn’t this an examination ground?” Abel recalled what had happened to him and asked.

“Headmaster majesty. At that time, you had not exposed your identity. That energy wall you attacked is not made by death qi, so as soon as you attacked it, the base would see you as an enemy!’ Commander spirit explained.

Abel was speechless. He already expected ground where magic was forbidden, yet he still had his headmaster identity in his portal object.

He could understand why anyone who wasted the energy of this base would be seen as an enemy. The Commander spirit had been trying to preserve this place’s energy for tens of thousands of years, but his attack had taken an unexpected amount of energy from it.

Of course, he would be seen as trying to destroy this base. That was why he had been thrown into that completely sealed dumping ground.

After touring the third floor, Abel teleported back to the first floor again. He needed to stay here for 3 days and then ignite the teleportation station in Nam mountain. The base could not help him during this entire process.

Although the energy of this base had been replenished, most of the puppets were still damaged. Countless magic circles needed to be fixed. After tens of thousands of years of an energy shortage, this base had really taken a big hit.
