Abe the Wizard - Chapter 171
Chapter 171: Deity
The moment the 3 of them entered the magic tower, they saw wizard Morton standing in front of the teleportation circle with a big smile.
“Teacher!” The 3 of them immediately stepped up and bowed.
“Camille and Carlos, you two can go first. Abel, come with me,” Wizard Morton nodded, waving his hand towards Abel.
“Teacher, where are we going?” Abel asked Wizard Morton standing in the center of the teleportation circle.
“The Wizard Union branch headquarters in Duchy of Keyen. It is the closest Wizard Union branch headquarters from here,”
Wizard Morton he began to start the teleportation circle.
In a flash, he had already arrived in another teleportation circle. Although the layout of this teleportation circle was exactly the same from the one in Morton’s magic tower, Abel could tell it was another magic tower from the outside decorations.
“Let’s stop here for a while. This teleportation circle can only teleport 5000 miles at a time,” Wizard Morton explained to Abel with a smile. Then he took out his magic gold card and swiped it in mid-air. The teleportation circle began to work its magic again.
They had stopped two times, and every time, they needed to pay their fee. At last, they arrived at a huge, incomparably, luxurious teleportation circle. This one was different from any other one Abel had seen in the past. It was bigger than ten of the teleportation circles in Morton magic tower combined.
The surface was scattered with tightly netted dark gold color patterns. From time to time, the pattern would shimmer with light. The teleportation circle was very special. It could be used even when another person was still teleporting.
While Abel was still looking, a few groups of people had also teleported here. They appeared in different areas of the teleportation circle, and there were even a few people disappearing from the teleportation circle in flashes of white light.
Wizard Morton put his hand on Abel’s shoulder since he looked stunned and said, “Follow me!”
“Yes, teacher!” Abel reply and quickly followed Wizard Morton’s steps.
“This is the wizard Union branch headquarters in Duchy of Keyen. Only rank three wizards or higher can enter. I brought you here today to order a wizard badge.”
Camille and Carlos had already told Abel about this, so he was not surprised. However, he found the Wizard union branch headquarter amusing. It was filled with white-colored marble decorations. The wall, the floor, even the ten huge pillars in the middle of the hall were made of pure white
Even the wizard behind the counter, a very young-looking novice wizard with five leaves on his badge, was wearing an entirely white robe. Wizard Morton stepped up to the counter and said: “I’m here to request a wizard badge for my disciple!”
“Mr. Morton, please wait a moment. I’ll contact the Wizards responsible for examination!”
He ignited a magic circle on the counter and said something towards it. Afterward, he turned back to Wizard Morton and said, “Mr. Morton, please go to room number 3 in level one. Mr. Blight will be waiting for you there!”
“Blight,” Said Wizard Morton frowning his eyebrows.
“Teacher, what happened?” Abel asked quietly.
“Wizard Blight is a Wizard from the Duchy of Keyen. We sacked Black magic tower last time, and have some disagreements with wizards from the Duchy of Keyen. Things might not go as smoothly as I thought.” Wizard Morton replied.
“Teacher, I don’t need the wizard badge. We can come back again some other time in the future.” Abel quickly said. He didn’t want to give Wizard Morton a hard time.
“They won’t go out of there way to give us a hard time. He is only responsible for examination. He can only do what is in his job description,” Wizard Morton said smiling.
To get to room number 3, they had to pass through a hall filled with Wizards from the counter. Abel felt it: they were all potentially dangerous bombs. There were so many rank 3 and higher wizards concentrated in one spot, so Abel was in full alert mode.
In room number 3, wizard Blight, 30 years old with yellowish hair and a darkish face, was talking with someone through the magic circle on his desk.
“Mr. Ston, wizard Morton, and his disciple novice wizard, Abel, are coming here to collect a wizard badge!” Wizard Blight said in a respectful manner.
In the Rocky canyon, around 100 miles out, there were six magic towers on the tip of the canyon. Two of them were more than ten stories, signifying greater strength than the Duchy of Carmel.
On the top floor of the tallest tower, intermediate wizard Ston was just looking over at the brilliant scenery of the rocky canyon. He demanded, “Help me keep them there. That old bastard Morton just sacked one of our magic towers and slandered dark Wizard Black. We haven’t even settled this, and he already went back to Duchy of Carmel. I won’t let it slide this time. I’ll show them what happens when you try to offend the wizards from the Duchy of Keyen.
Wizard Ston cut the call. The conversation he had was made was thought the teleportation circle in his magic tower. However, the conversation that followed would be a little more troublesome.
He turned around and took out a magic circle board from a cupboard. This magic circle board was made out of all kinds of skeletons. It didn’t seem like it was made by human wizards. In the middle of the magic circle board, there was a white intermediate magic gem.
Wizard Ston placed his hand on the magic circle board and ignited the magic circle. Spooky energy immediately spread around his room. All kinds of negative emotions rumbled in Wizard Ston’s heart.
“The orcs’ deity are such a hassle!” Said wizard Ston as he added a frozen armor on to his body.
The magic circle board slowly unleashed. All the negative emotions around were quickly sucked into the magic circle. The magic circle began to glow in dark red, and a skeleton made up of negative emotions emerged from the magic circle.
“Click click, Wizard Ston, why are you contacting me?” The bones on the skeleton rubbed against each other vigorously, making a disturbing sound.
“The deity of Gosford, remember when you asked me to help you capture Abel? Well, I’ve some news. He just showed up in Duchy of Keyen!” Said Wizard Ston to the skeleton.
“Click click, wonderful. Now just think of a way to lure him to me. I will capture him personally and turn him into one of my skeleton warriors! Said the deity of Gosford, with a voice full of hatred.
“However, there’s a small problem. He has company, an intermediate wizard!” Wizard Ston had no idea how an insignificant novice wizard could offend the orc’s deity. However, seeing the hatred of the deity of Gosford, he was sure that an intermediate wizard wouldn’t not scare him a single bit.
“Just say it, what do you want?” The deity of Gosford fully understood Wizard Ston’s intention. Long years of doing business made them very close.
“Besides the reward you said you’d give, you also need to help me kill off that intermediate wizard!” Said Wizard Ston in a low voice.
“It won’t be hard to kill an intermediate wizard together. But as you know, it is very hard to stop an intermediate wizard if they are trying to escape.” The deity of Gosford was a little shocked by the request. He thought Wizard Ston would just want more resources, but instead, he wanted to kill an intermediate wizard. If intermediate wizards were really that easy to kill, why would every Duchy need at least one intermediate wizard to protect them?
Intermediate wizards made their name through their powerful fighting ability as well as their frighteningly long lifespan. Although it was only an intermediate rank, they were comparable to the elite rank of other occupations.
“I can find two more beginner dark wizards from my side to join this mission.” Said Wizard Ston, his voice even lower.
“Click click, two intermediate, two beginners. We might have a chance to keep him alive. I won’t hold back, so it depends on your luck if we can keep him or not.” The deity of Gosford was very excited to kill an intermediate wizard. He wouldn’t just capture Abel, but also weaken humans.
The deity of Gosford needed to capture Abel without other human wizards interfering because of the ‘transformation necklace.’ Originally, this treasure was made to help him travel between the orc’s empire and the human world more easily. However, one day, his favorite child of his first wife needed to come to the human world for trial, so he allowed him to borrow the necklace. However, little did he know, it would be the last time he saw it. Now, all the evidence pointed towards Abel. Not only that, but the orc’s Kong Kong spirit portal bag was stolen by a worgen, and the deity of Gosford also suspected Abel.
