Abe the Wizard - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Revenge From The Duchy of Keyen

Wizard Morton’s face did not change much, but Camille and Carlos forcefully gave out a little smile. By this point, Abel was sure something had happened.

“Teacher, are you looking for me?” Said Abel as he greeted Wizard Morton

“Abel, go with Camille and Carlos to investigate the mines!”Wizard Morton commanded.

“What happened?” Abel asked with a heart full of confusion.

“The 2 magic gem mines in the Duchy of Carmel had been attacked today. And all the low ranking wizards guarding the place were killed!” Said Wizard Morton lowing his voice.

When Abel first saw those low ranking wizards surrounding the magic tower, he just thought they were here to suck up the mana leaked out by the magic tower. Only recently, he had discovered, those low ranking wizards would also often accept some missions given out by the magic tower in exchange for training resources and spell practice.

The wizards who were qualified for guarding missions would need to be at least rank 1. By that point, they already had a decent amount of fighting ability, so it should be very hard to attack a gem mine, on top of the gem mine’s defense circle.

“Originally, I was planning to tell you about another case, but now, it seems like these cases are connected,” Said Wizard Morton.

Abel turned his head up towards Wizard Morton. It had been a week, so the Wizard Union must have some updates.

“The Wizard Union will soon throw Ston in the Dark Wizard List, and send out an arrest warrant throughout the entire human world,” Said Wizard Morton with a dim expression.

“They still haven’t captured Ston? Will he come to the Duchy of Carmel to seek revenge?” Abel felt his heart drop. That guy was an intermediate wizard. He must have some massive revenge coming, considering all of the hatred between them.

“Don’t worry. It’s very hard for Ston to come to the Duchy of Carmel. Every single teleportation circle had banned him from using it, and the Wizard Union’s information system is already looking for him. As soon as he shows himself, they will know where he is. After that, he will be welcomed by a ruthless hunt from the Wizard Union’s redshirt guards,” Said Wizard Morton after seeing that Abel was worried.

“Could this attack be set up by Ston?” Abel asked.

“It might be revenge set up by the Wizards from the Duchy of Keyen. They had taken too much damage this time by losing an intermediate wizard, as well the clean up by the Duchy of Keyen’s Wizard Union branch headquarter. The Duchy of Keyen’s power decreased a lot, and it’s not looking good for them. If they continue like this, they can no longer preserve their resources,” Said Wizard Morton with a somewhat ‘laughing at people’s misfortune’ tone.

Wizard Morton gazed at his 3 disciples and proceeded to say, “This time, we official wizards will not leave the magic tower. We will be responsible for igniting all the magic circle in the magic tower. Your identity cards can be used throughout the entire Duchy of Carmel, so if another official wizard appears, the magic tower will know. This is a battle between novice wizards, and no official wizards will get involved.”

There were 15 low ranking wizards being trapped in the Duchy of Carmel in total. Since all the branched teleportation circle towards the 4 nearby Duchy had been closed off, let’s go hunt them down as revenge for our dead wizard!”

“Yes, teacher!” Said the three of them simultaneously as they bowed.

As they were coming out of Wizard Morton’s room, Abel asked, “Carlos, do you know how powerful the 15 low ranking wizards are?”

Carlos slightly nodded and said, “When they were passing through the Duchy of Thunder’s teleportation circle in groups to detour over our border, the Duchy of Thunder’s teleportation circle had recorded who they were. 10 of the 15 of them were rank 3 and below, while the other 5 were official disciples from the Duchy of Keyen’s magic towers.

“Why isn’t the Wizard Union getting involved with this?”Abel couldn’t help but ask.

“The Wizard Union is a scattered organization. They can’t control what wizards are doing. The most they could do was to warn wizards for the things they do. They will only get involved if a wizard had harmed the Union or the wellbeing of humans,” Carlos explained.

Camille added on the side, “The reason why the teacher didn’t get involved in this fight is that an official wizard can not fight in a battle between novice wizards. Or else it will escalate into a fight between official wizards. This is a hidden rule of the Wizard world.”

“Those low ranking wizards could never have guessed in a million years that we have installed an alert circle in the gem mine’s defense circle. Ever since the teacher came back last week, he had installed an alert circle on every important resource. So when they were attacking the magic gem mine, the magic tower was alerted. Although it was too late to save the wizards, he had immediately closed down all the teleportation circle towards through the 4 duchy alliance.

There’s no way they can escape now,” Said Carlos laughing coldly.

“Did we lose a lot of resources?” Abel asked in a caring tone.

“The magic gem mine can return to operations once it was fixed. The biggest hit we took was losing those low ranking wizards. But they will not die for nothing,” Said Carlos clenching his teeth.

“Abel, Carlos and I prepared some rune signs for you. Keep them well,” said Camille. She took out 5 rune signs. There was a defense rune sign in the 5 rune signs. In order to make a defense rune sign, you need an attribute-less crystal core, and those things are very hard to get for a novice wizard. Every single defense rune sign would be the last life-preserving method for a novice wizard in a novice wizard battle.

“Camille, these things are too valuable. I still have some of my own rune signs,” said Abel waving his hand.

“Just do what I said and keep it. There might be a chance he will face an official disciple from the Duchy of Keyen. Our opponent is not normal low ranking wizards, but the rank 5 wizards from other magic towers will be responsible for taking them down, so we’ll mostly just focus on the rank 3 and below. Ever since brother William had left, second brother and a third sister had locked themselves up, so there aren’t any rank 5 wizards sent out by our magic tower,” Camille said as she shoved the 5 rune signs towards Abel’s chest.

Abel felt deeply touched in his heart. Suddenly, he was reminded of the ‘fireball’ spell magic cane he had. Although these magic canes with ability might be very valuable to others, they weren’t too important to Abel. All he needed to do was to kill a few more creatures from hell. He had 3 of the magic canes with the ‘fireball’ spell ability, and could already do a quicken ‘fireball’ spell. These magic cane could only raise his spell by one rank.

Up to this point, Abel took out 2 magic canes from his b]portal bag and gave them to Camille and Carlos. He then proceeded to say, “I’ll give these 2 magic canes to you guys, they are my spoils of war.”

“That’s some good stuff; it can raise the ‘fireball’ spell by one rank.” Said Carlos after he examined the magic cane.

“Let me try” after Camille heard what Carlos had said, her eyes began to sparkle. He pointed with the magic cane in her hand, and a ‘fireball’ dashed out.

“Camille, you idiot. Do you want to burn down the magic tower?” Wizard Morton’s voice came from the staircase. Afterward, a flash of white light surrounded the fireball, and just like that, the fireball vanished.

“Yikes, I forgot!” Said Camille as she stuck out her tongue. The staircase did not have a defense, which was why Wizard Morton would rarely use it unless he was trying to save some money.

“Just keep the magic cane Abel had given you. Once you have Abel’s things, I am less worried about your mission,” Wizard Morton’s voice came out from somewhere once again.

Although Wizard Morton didn’t know where Abel had got these magic cane, he seen him used one with an official wizard ability ‘spirit transfer’ I’m a battle before. Considering that Abel was a blacksmith Master, there was a big chance Abel was researching how to make a magic cane, and these 2 ‘fireball’ magic canes were just his prototype.

“Thank you so much, junior brother. This magic cane is very nice,” said Carlos in excitement, waving his magic cane around.

“What do you know dumb-dumb, this magic cane has the ability to unleash a quicken ‘fireball’ spell.” Said Camille as she rolled her eyes on Carlos. She then turned her head back to Abel and said, “Abel, this magic cane is too valuable. I will definitely return it to you after the mission is done.”

“That’s not right Camille, I just took your rune signs, and you still want to return this little gift from me?” Said Abel in a concrete tone.

“Then I’ll keep this magic cane junior brother. When I have some good stuff in the future, Is definitely share it with you.” Said Camille playfully as he continued to wave around his magic cane like it’s nothing.
