Abe the Wizard

Abel’s intuition had saved him once again in a battle, but he was really not satisfied with the result. He would be at a huge disadvantage once he was faced with too many enemies.

Just like when he was fighting against the sand maggot larva, he could not react because there were too many threats from all directions and because those sand maggot larvae were too weak to threaten him anyway.

However, when he was fighting against Coldworm the Burrower one to one, he spotted its ice enchantment explosion immediately.

Abel shook his head. His intuition still saved his life nevertheless, and his carelessness put him in that situation.

He resummoned a spirit wolf for that spirit guardian knight. Although its power had decreased a lot, it should recover after some time of fighting in the Dark World.

The only thing left in this place was a golden box. It was not too noticeable at first since Coldworm the Burrower, and it’s Sand Maggots were also gold.

Abel stepped up and opened the box. Inside was placed with an ancient magic staff. He didn’t have to guess. It was the ‘staff of the king.’

The name sounded great, but in reality, it was not that useful. It was just one of the components in making the Horadric Staff.

Abel put away the staff of the king and kept searching in the box. There was a long shape charm. According to his knowledge, it was a grand charm.

Grand charms could be ignited even in a portal object, and most importantly they could change attributes with 3 perfect gems.

Abel ignited the sight and data analysing ability of the world stone, and the charm began to glow. Afterward, its attributes were reflected in Abel’s mind.

Serpent’s Grand Charm

+52 mana

This attribute was not too useful for someone with more than 3000 points of mana like Abel. But as long as he could change the attributes, he could be the one he wanted.

He then placed the Serpent’s Grand Charm in his portal bracelet and looked at the space inside. Nothing changed, so he left.

He returned to Lut Gholein, but did not stay in the Dark World. He did not have many perfect gems on him. He needed to combine some normal gems to refill them.

He also needed some rest after the adventure today. He really needed to rethink his wizard fighting tactics

He returned to his magic tower in the Harry Castle Wizard Circle and then teleported to Harry Castle.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a familiar silhouette.

“Bernie, why are you here?” Abel was shocked.

Bernie was a busy man. He was doing big business with his family, and Abel never told him when he would come out of his retreat. Ever since he went into his retreat 3 months ago, he had never appeared in Harry Castle.

If he needed to take care of business in Bakong City, he would teleport to Bakong City. Why did Bernie wait for him in Harry Castle?

When Bernie saw Abel, he stepped up in excitement and grabbed him, “Abel, finally. Did I gain weight?”

“Bernie, what happened? You really did gain weight!” Abel looked up and down at Bernie and nodded with a smile.

“I’ve been waiting for you in Harry Castle for 3 months and you never showed up!” Abel said irritatedly.

“Wait, Bernie. What does this have to do with gaining weight?” Abel interrupted.

He didn’t know why Bernie had waited for him for 3 months. There must be some extremely difficult problem to deal with, so Abel asked passively.

“Of course, it has to do with it. I was eating at your castle every day. This is the result of 3 months of overeating! If you did not show up, I would have turned into a ball after a few more months!” Bernie said helplessly while gently patting his stomach.

“Bernie, just pay for the ingredients you ate, and you will slim down again!” Abel replied in a helpless tone. Bernie had just wasted 3 months of his food.

“Hehe, congratulations for becoming a Master Alchemist, the only Master Alchemist in the Holy Continent. This is even more special than being a Grandmaster Blacksmith!” Bernie looked left and right and whispered.

“How sincere can you be when you ate 3 months of food from me and don’t even have a present!” Abel said with a laugh.

“Abel, aren’t we good friends?” Bernie added, he knew Abel was in a good mood.

“Of course we are. If not, you won’t even be here!” Abel nodded.

He was right. Harry castle was not easily accessible. This place had many secrets, especially that land outside of the castle watered with the third goddess spring water. Abel wouldn’t let anyone not close to him see it.

“The Goff family is very good to you, right?” Bernie asked again.

“Bernie, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t be like this!” Abel rolled his eyes and lowered his voice.

He knew Bernie had something desperate he needed help with. He didn’t know what.

“The Goff family found a formula for a flying boat when we were searching around the ancient sight. We don’t know how to make the core!” Bernie said with a smile

“What’s a flying boat?” Abel asked. He didn’t know much about the ancients.

“A flying boat is a boat that can fly in the sky. It can fly up to 500 meters and carry large amounts of stuff. Of course, it can carry people as well!” Bernie explained.

Abel was not satisfied with this explanation. It is way too simple. So Abel connected with the Commander spirit on his waist through his power of the will and asked, “Commander spirit, do you know about the flying boat?”

“Head Master, the flying boat is a civil use carrier. You could see them everywhere in the sky back in the days. They were the work of ground spirits, but they weren’t too difficult to make!” The Commander spirit replied through Abel’s power of will.

Abel understood the usefulness of a flying boat. It could replace horse carriage in the Holy Continent and make delivery of goods more efficient.

However, Abel was not confident on those flying boats. Anything that could fly for a long time needed a lot of energy. He was not in the ancient times, and top-level mana gems were extremely rare.

“Bernie, you dwarfs have 2 Grandmaster Blacksmith; why can’t they make it?” Abel suddenly remembered.

“Abel, the flying boat’s core needs a very special material. Only Master Alchemists can make them, not blacksmiths.” Bernie shook his head.

It all made sense to Abel now. No wonder why Bernie had waited 3 months for him. Bernie found out that he had become a Master Alchemist so he wanted to come for a gamble.

“Bernie, yes, I am a Master Alchemist, but I only know how to make potions. I am not a metallurgist. Those are different things!” Abel explained.

Although both were classified as Master Alchemist and had the same Master alchemy pattern, the skills needed for potion making were completely different from metallurgy. There were 2 different schools.

“Everyone knows that. Do you think I’m stupid? You have only been learning alchemy for a few years and your potion-making skills have already reached a master level. It should take you too long to learn metallurgy. The Goff Family will agree to share the formula for the flying boats with the Duchy of Carmel!” Bernie looked at Abel and laughed.

Bernie still remembered when Abel first started learning Alchemy. Abel left the human world, which was also when Bernie met Abel for the first time. That was not long ago, and Abel’s alchemy skills had progressed dramatically. He had become a Master Alchemist almost in a blink of an eye.
