Abe the Wizard

“Abel, you looking for me?” Wizard Morton appeared on the first floor of Abel’s magic tower.

“Teacher, have you heard of a spiritual aura?” Abel asked directly.

He knew the biggest difference between his Insight rune word and his other rune words was the ‘meditation’ spiritual aura. So, the threat was most likely coming from this aura.

Wizard Morton’s face immediately contorted. Even though this magic tower was extremely safe, he quickly looked around to make sure no one was listening and asked “Abel, where did you hear about the spiritual aura?”

“I’ve accidentally forged a weapon and realized that weapon can make a spiritual aura!” Abel knew his explanation wouldn’t make much sense, but he knew his teacher wouldn’t investigate too much.

“Impossible!’ Wizard Morton said loudly.

He knew about the spiritual aura. Although he had never seen one with his own eyes, he still understood how scary it was. It was a state obtained extremely; there was no way it would appear on a weapon.

Abel didn’t say anything. He merely took out the Insight rune word and a cloud like spiritual aura emerged below the feet of him and Wizard Morton.

Wizard Morton reached his hand and gently touched the cloud like smoke under his feet. He then gazed towards the polearm on Abel’s hand with immense disbelief.

“Let me take a look at that polearm!” Wizard Morton said.

Abel handed the Insight rune word to him. It was tiring just by holding this double-handed polearm.

However in the process, the cloud-like spiritual aura immediately disappeared as soon as the pole arm left Abel’s hand. When Wizard Morton received the polearm, the aura reappeared again.

Just when Wizard Morton wanted to open his mouth and ask Abel how he had made this thing, he quickly stopped himself. This weapon would give Abel too much trouble.

“Abel, no matter what, don’t let anyone see this thing. If another person has, make sure you kill them!” Wizard Morton said in a serious tone.

“Teacher, is the spiritual forbidden?” Abel asked in confusion.

“You’ll know why once you leave the Holy Continent. I have sworn to never say anything about this!” Wizard Morton did not explain too much and handed the Insight rune word back to Abel.

“Too bad. I thought I could use it to help my wizards to quickly recover mana for training or battle. It looks like I have to scrap this idea!” Abel shook his head and threw the Insight rune word back in his Kong Kong Spirit Portal bag.

“This spiritual aura can quickly recover mana? Maybe you can make a room and fill the floor up with smoke. Then, the spiritual aura won’t be noticeable. Also make every wizard who goes into practice swear that they will never say anything about it!” Wizard Morton said hesitantly. It was way too beneficial for a wizard’s training.

How many years would it take for a wizard to learn a spell? Almost tens of years of hardship. When Wizard Morton first became an intermediate wizard, he had locked himself up for almost 2 years just to learn the ‘move in a flash’.

And it was only achievable since he was so gifted in lightning spells. The reason why learning a spell took so long was that mana took a long time to recover. It wouldn’t meet the demand for training.

In the Holy Continent, not many people actually knew about the spiritual auras. With some camouflage and a pledge, Abel should be able to keep it a secret.

“Teacher, I don’t have time for this, I’ll leave it to you!’ Able handed the Insight rune word to Wizard Morton again.

Wizard Morton couldn’t help but felt a little speechless as he held the polearm in his hand. Although the spirit aura was forbidden, this thing was still an extremely valuable treasure.

Abel had treated it just like so ordinarily thing as he handed it to him.

He didn’t think too much about it and began to laugh. He knew how dedicated Abel was to his training. Abel did not sacrifice his time and effort to make a polearm like this for himself. Just by looking at his attitude alone, Wizard Morton could tell that he had made it for the wizards in his domain.

“Great, leave it to me. Only the most important wizards will be able to enjoy this polearm with spiritual aura. I will hide this weapon and tell people I got mana regenerative magic circle!” Wizard Morton said with a smile.

Not long after, Wizard Morton had turned the second floor of his magic tower into a magic training room. The surroundings were filled with firm targets covered in protection circles, which was more than enough for an intermediate wizard’s training.

A cloud of smoke covered the ground of this training room, but not a single wizard who came in for training questioned anything. They were convinced that it was just the effect of a mana regenerate circle.

Every one of those wizards would also need to sign a secret contract, and all of them had agreed.

A mana regenerative circle sounded way too good to be true. Even with Abel’s power, it would attract a lot of unnecessary attention if another person had found out about it.

Abel returned to his normal training schedule. In the morning, he read books in his magic tower, went to the training room or take care of the domain’s business when he had time, and entered the Dark World at night to clean up hell creatures.

10 whole days had passed. His rank 9 wizard core had been fulfilled. He could become rank 10 at any moment, the pinnacle of beginner wizards.

Just when he was trying to figure out how he could break through the rank 9 bottleneck, The Lord of Marshall called through Tower Spirit Flora.

Abel then met up with The Lord of Marshall in the hall of Harry Castle, but he had a strange look on his face.

“Abel, some had happened to the Duchy of Carmel recently. King Algernon George and a few of the most powerful elders in the George Family have been taken away by the Liante City Wizard Union!” The Lord of Marshall had just gotten this information from the Duchy of Carmel.

Although Harvest City was Abel’s domain, it was still the territory of The Duchy of Carmel on paper. A huge incident like this would definitely have an affect on Harvest City.

“Uncle Marshall, did you know how this happened?” Abel also didn’t know how he should feel about this.

The wizard union took away the king of a duchy. Nothing like this ever happened in the past. Although the Wizard Union’s status was beyond imagination, they would rarely cross the line like this.

“You know, our early domain had just been established and we are lacking a lot of men. We didn’t even have the chance to establish an investigation department, but I’ve asked my family in Bakong City. It seems like the George family had offended something great, and they were captured by the wizard union for investigation!” The Lord of Marshall replied.

Abel also didn’t have a good solution to this. An investigation department could not be built over night, so he could only rely on other families to seek information. Still, this lack of an investigation department had exposed a weakness of Abel’s domain, it was a problem he needed to solve immediately.

In regards to the Gorge family, Abel really couldn’t care less. He didn’t have much connection with them anyway. The one that would be affected the most would still be the Duchy of Carmel itself.

“We need to build our own information-seeking network. See if anyone in the family is gifted in this kind of thing, or maybe ask the Bennett family if they have anyone suitable for the job!” Abel said helplessly.

“The biggest problem now is that we don’t know how the other duchies will react. There was always great tension between the Duchy of Thunder and the Duchy Carmel. An event like this will give the Duchy of Thunder a good opportunity to get their revenge!” The Lord of Marshall also knew it was important to establish an information seeking network for an investigation department, but they should focus on the situation at hand first.
