Abe the Wizard - Chapter 150
Chapter 150: News
As he looked into the telescope, Abel saw a sea of fallen, colored red due to the color of the fallen’s skin. There were thousands of them, and within the sea, there was a Fallen shaman lurking.
They were not one of those slow-moving creatures of hell like zombies. Although small, they move quickly. Fortunately, they were not as fearless as zombies.
The fallen shaman was the leader, and as long as the Shipwreck wizards were still alive, the Fallen would stay immortal; the shaman could continue to resurrect the dead Fallen.
At the same time, they were also the masters of fire spells, seen from their skin, representing the color of hell,
Fallen shamans used “Firebomb” to attack their enemies, demonstrating their mastery of the fire spells. Which was why with the shamans, the fallen were dangerous.
Abel had no motivation to search for the flesh blood wasteland. The army of Fallen was a brick wall to Abel. There were too many and exceeded his abilities. On top of that, there were Fallen shaman within.
If only Black wind were here, Abel thought. Even if he couldn’t fight off the enemies, he would’ve been able to escape.
Now, Abel finally understood the meaning of this sentence, “A knight without a mount is not considered a real knight.” Moving quickly wasn’t capitalized in knight training. Human bodies weren’t built to move quickly. So, humans found a solution–the mount.
Since Abel had the first mount wolf in the Holy Continent, he had the extra power for a knight. Even if Abel couldn’t deal with so many of the Fallen at a time, if he had Black Wind was here, he would’ve been able to use speed to separate the Fallen, kill the Fallen shaman hiding inside first, and then slowly eradicate the rest of the Fallen.
Although he was only an intermediate knight, he could easily beat the Elite knights. Moreover, when he was using his knight abilities, he was able to resist a commander–even it was only for a short period. While he wasn’t able to beat the commander, withstanding the commander filled him with superiority. Coupled with his recent magic spells, he had truly strengthened his capability in battle once again.
As he stood in the fresh blood wasteland, the truth had struck him hard. Although he seemed powerful, in this world, his knight abilities could barely kill the lowest levels of creatures easily. Furthermore, he didn’t have enough mana. He’d be scr*wed If he got outnumbered.
Abel was, once again, eager to improve his strength. He had so much to learn, whether it was rune card or new spells, especially group attack spells, which were the fastest way to improve his strength.
It was already getting dark, and Abel was a long way from the Rogue encampment. Abel took a scroll of town portal from the Horadeic cube, filled it with magical power, and opened a portal.
It was Abel’s first time opening the portal. As he stepped into the portal, he thought he would return to his mansion in Triumph boulevard, but when he woke up from vertigo, he wasn’t in the mansion. Instead, he had returned to the campfire in the Rogue encampment.
Abel was surprised. Was there something wrong with the Scrolls of town portal? If anything had gone wrong with the scrolls, he would’ve never been able to return to the Holy Continent. Here, there was no food, no people, and he could not last long, even with his enormous portal bag.
Confused and terrified, Abel tried to open another scroll of town portal, and a new portal appeared in front of his eyes.
Abel prayed a little before entering the portal, even though he didn’t believe in gods. As he stepped into the portal, his body disappeared from Rogue encampment.
In Abel’s mansion on the Triumph Avenue, in his room, a blue portal appeared in isolation.
When Abel opened his eyes and saw the huge forest around him, he couldn’t understand at first. It took him a moment to realize that this was the illusion of isolation circle. Finally, he had successfully returned to the Holy Continent inside his room.
It turned out that the town scrolls would only return to the Holy Continent if used in Rogue encampment, and only back to the camp if they were used in the wild. Abel suddenly realized that this discovery of the town scrolls would greatly reduce travel time too.
If the scroll of town portal could teleport him directly back to the holy continent. Then, there would be a high chance some problems might occur, and teleport him somewhere else along the way back to Rogue encampment. Therefore, he might get attack by creatures from hell, during his dizzy teleportation state. Abel liked this feature of the scroll of town portal.
Abel took out the circle control card and closed the isolation circle. Throughout one night, the magical power within the delicate magic gem had only decreased a little bit. With this interpretation, a delicate magic gem like this could support enough magical power to sustain an isolation circle to open for a month
Abel put away the isolation circle. He then went to the bathroom, cleaned himself, put on clean clothes, and walked out of the bathroom refreshed.
“Master, the messenger from Bennett city has come over!” Ken, the housekeeper, who was already waiting outside the door, stepped forward as Abel left the room.
“What’s the matter with my father?” Abel wondered to himself. Then he said to Ken, “Send the messenger to the guest lounge!”
‘Yes, master! Bow down and walked out.
When Abel went into the guest lounge, a servant brought in some snacks and juice. Ken then came in with a dusty middle-aged man.
“Norman, it’s you. What’s the matter at home?” Norman was one of the six soldiers who had once been Abel’s bodyguard. Abel knew Norman well and asked him warmly when he saw him.
“The Knight of Bennett has asked me to bring you a letter, my Lord.” When Norman saw that Abel remembered his name, he saluted with excitement and took a parchment sealed in wax and handed it to Abel.
“Norman, you’ve had a hard trip!” As he said this, Abel opened the scroll and read it from top to bottom. Then he smiled happily, “Ah, it looks like my elder brother is getting married; this is great.”
“Oh, before I came, Young master Zach told me to tell you don’t forget the gift you promised him,” Norman spoke softly as if he was somewhat ashamed of what young master Zach had said, but he had to obey young master Zach’s request and read out the message.
“Haha, Zach still remembers. Alright, I will prepare his gifts after this.”
To receive news from his family made Abel very happy within his heart. With his current blacksmith skills, he could easily forge a set of magic knight’s armor and a full set of the magic weapon’s for the Bennett’s family to pass down to their next generation. To Abel, it was a pity that he couldn’t learn new runes. Otherwise, he would’ve had more choices.
“Norman, wait a minute,” said Abel.
Abel ordered Ken to bring in the parchment and ink. He wanted to tell his brother about his current situation and give a detailed response that he would rush back to attend his wedding. Although Abel was still the son of the knight of Bennett, on paper, he was no longer a member of the Bennett family. Therefore, it was still better to keep his response formal.
After writing the letter, Abel handed it to Norman and said, “You can rest here for a few days. Ken will arrange your quarters and just hand this letter over to my father when you return.”
“Yes, my Lord.” Norman bowed to receive the letter and withdrew.
After Norman left, Abel turned to Ken and said, “Ken, in two months, my big brother Zach will be getting married. I’ll need you to start buying some of the most popular ornaments in Bakong City, and ask Coder winery to send a batch of wine to Bennett castle.”
