Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1064
Chapter 1064: Arriving At The Lance Continent
After 10 minutes of flying, Abel saw the battle fort had arrived at the ocean, according to the monogram.
According to the books he read, the oceans were divided into shallow water and deep water. The shallow water was the area 10,000 miles around the continent. It was the dragon’s territory, and it was protected from the sea beast’s attacks.
Any further than that were places that even the dragons wouldn’t cross. This was also why communication between a subcontinent and the Central Continent almost always happened through a super teleportation circle.
However, considering how high the battle fort was flying, those powerful beasts of the sea shouldn’t be able to notice it.
The speed of the battle fort began to stabilize. Its speed could truly go neck to neck with a fighter jet even a few times the size.
He crossed 10,000 miles in no time, and Abel looked down. There was not a single creature, and everything looked normal.
The battle fort slowly made its way towards the green dot marked as the Lance Continent on the monogram.
Suddenly, Abel noticed a giant sea monster roaming in the water. It was its territory.
Maybe only a legendary could take on such a powerful being.
The deep-sea was important to the beasts of the sea not only because of their bloodline but also because of the deep sea’s resources.
If not, they would not be able to get so powerful.
“Little bugs!” That beast looked towards the sky and sensed 2 law-defying wizards speeding above it.
Normally it wouldn’t bother, but today it was in an excited mood, so it decided to eat what entered his territory.
It jumped out of the water and flew towards the sky. Its speed was not affected at all.
However, not even 10 meters above the sea, powerful energy flashed above it. Their speed sent a chill down the beast’s spine.
It was fine for a beast of the sea to reach the height of the battle fort, but that speed was something it could not understand. It was almost logic-defying, and it reminded it of an ancient event within its bloodline.
Back in the day, these speedy flying objects invaded the ocean and massacred powerful beasts. Finally, they took away large amounts of corpses.
It was a nightmare deep in its blood. All of a sudden, it lost control of its body, and it fell heavily back into the ocean.
That impact was nothing for a beast, but it did not leave the ocean again. Instead, it dived deeper.
All it wanted at that point was to hide in the depths of the ocean to let those scary thoughts fade away.
Abel didn’t know, but a legendary level beast of the sea was scared off by his battle fort. The power of the ancient civilizations was truly something he could not comprehend. Even powerful beasts of the sea were just a source of resources for them.
You could just tell by looking at the materials of the battle fort. Even a grandmaster blacksmith like Abel has never seen something like it. Most likely, they came from the ocean.
After all, the beings on the continent rarely interacted with the ocean.
Abel kept his eyes on the monogram during the 10 hours of flight. The danger he was expecting never happened.
All he ran into was different weather conditions. Sometimes there were clouds below him, and sometimes there weren’t, but they were all too boring to admire.
“The prestigious headmaster, we have arrived at the Lance Continent. Please select the landing speed and confirm to the repairing robots to start checking for damage!” The Fire Tooth spirit sounded.
“Ok. Land at max speed, and open the protection and invisibility circles!” Abel said.
From those words, he knew flying at this speed might damage the battle fort.
Luckily all it took was mana gems which he had endless.
The battle fort began to land and slowly transformed back into its original oval shape when it was 1000 meters above the ground.
Of course, this speed was like a snail crawling compared to what Abel just experienced.
He shook his head and looked outside the Lance Continent.
It was a lively Continent with flora and fauna growing all around.
It was at that moment he sensed something strange in his forehead.
Hundreds of thousands of prayers rushed into his crystal angel statue.
He ignited the world stone and allowed his druid soul to analyze them.
Considering their power, this process would only take 10 minutes at most.
Abel was puzzled by the result. Although these prayers were from the Lance Continent, their structure was completely different from the ones he was used to in the Central Continent.
The prayers he normally received from the Central Continent were from normal people, but there were more than 5000 prayers from intermediate knights amongst these prayers from the Lance Continent. He even got a few prayers from rank 17 knights, which was extremely rare considering that Knights would normally plateau by rank 16.
Of course, there were tens of thousands of prayers from novice knights ranging from rank 1 to rank 5. Since they were too far from the Holy Kingdom, these prayers were directly received by Abel.
However, he soon noticed some special prayers. Their movements were elusive, and they were received faster than any other prayers.
According to the world stone’s analysis, those were from a hundred rank 19-20 holy knights and a hundred preachers.
“That’s weird. Why are there holy knights and preachers around?” Abel began to get skeptical.
Although it was not impossible for an extremely talented person to become a rank 16, rank 17, or even rank 18 knight in 300 years with enough resources, becoming rank 19 and rank 20 was unbelievable, let alone 100 of them. He was suddenly reminded of the holy armor. Maybe this was its power.
As for the preacher, Abel only had 20 of them by ruthlessly creating miracles with his totem pole in the Battlecry City.
But the Holy Kingdom had 100 of them just by passively enforcing propaganda for 300 years. Abel couldn’t help but get a little jealous. Considering the type of information he got from his follower Cafford in the Holy Kingdom, he knew how important a preacher was.
In order to get into the core of the Holy Kingdom and get information about the gods he always wanted to understand, he needed his preachers.
There were many things about the gods that puzzled him, but it was extremely hard to find anything about them in the Central Continent.
Even if he did, they were only on the surface level and did not get to the point.
Abel was one of the very few people who knew about the gods. He had followers in the Barbarians, the Holy Kingdom, as well as the elite elves, and he always got his understanding through trial and error.
Therefore, Abel was excited to kill those 100 preachers in the Lance Continent. He needed their souls in his crystal angel statue.
Then, all he needed was to pick some good candidates to grant their soul before he could get more preachers.
Of course, he could only do this before the demon from beyond reawaken. Once it did, he, along with those 2000 holy knights of his, would be spotted.
Therefore, Abel had to keep increasing his power before the demon from beyond found him being a little thief. It might hate him more than the Wizard union.
Abel’s targets were the 100 rank 19 and above holy knights as well as those preachers. As for those intermediate holy knights and tens of thousands of ordinary followers, he wouldn’t even need to make an effort to kill them.
He could immediately identify their location through their bond anyway, so he was not desperate. He needed to find the preachers first.
He needed more information about the gods. Maybe the Holy Kingdom was the only place that had it.
Considering how advanced the Demon from Beyond’s skill was when it came to controlling its followers, the information it got had to be much more well-rounded.
“Can we track down the location of those 100 preachers?” Abel was not confident that he could look at how disjointed those prayers were.
In reality, the prayers of those followers were really privileged.
Since the crystal angel statue, Abel was about the same rank as the demon from beyond. His status was undeniable.
The demon from beyond used to be unchallenged, but since it had fallen into a slumber, it gave Abel’s crystal angel statue an opportunity.
The holy armor Emperor Harvey had was secondary to god. Therefore, Abel had stolen all the prayers of the Lance Continent once he arrived.
The only ones different were the 100 top-level holy knights as well as those preachers cultivated by the golden holy armor. The bonds between them were extremely close, so even the crystal angel statue could not get all of their prayers, only bits and pieces of it.
But still, pinning down their location should be possible.
The only downside was it would take a little longer since he needed to gather at least tens of disjointed prayers to pin them down precisely.
The sky was slowly getting Dark. Abel stopped the battle fort in mid-air as his druid soul, and world stone kept analyzing the data and transferring the result to the Fire Tooth Spirit.
Since Abel could not enter the Dark World, he could only set up a mana gathering circle and start his daily meditation with light gems.
Although it was far inferior compared to the prayers of the elite elves, it was still better than nothing.
An hour passed by, and he opened his eyes, seeing some dots on the monogram.
He immediately knew they were the locations of the preachers, but the only puzzling thing was they were spread out throughout the entire Lance Continent.
He didn’t know, but they were all under the command of Emperor Harvey to established temples throughout the entire continent.
At the moment, he had only identified 30 of them, but Abel no longer wanted to wait. He had to find his first assistant.
