Chapter 142
“Sir . This dark wizard tried to trap me inside his seclusion circle . He wanted to kill me!’ Abel said .
“Impossible!” The young wizard couldn’t believe what Abel said . If a rank two apprentice wizard fought against a rank seven apprentice wizard . There was just no way that the latter would lose .
From the young wizard’s perspective, judging from how the body had lost its head, Wizard Black must’ve taken a fireball to the mouth . It was hard to imagine how such a scenario could happen, but all the evidence was here . As for the rank four apprentice wizard, he died from having his back burnt from a fire element spell .
The young wizard threw a cautious look at Abel . While scanning Abel from top to bottom, he realized that a portal bag and a circle plate were lying on the ground . Just when his mind was about to be taken over by greed, the tree token on Abel’s waist had him thinking twice . After all, he was not the headless corpse that was lying on the ground . He wasn’t one yet, at least . He had a bright future ahead of him, which he should not risk losing because he tried to piss off Wizard Morton .
“I understand now . You can pick up what you want from them . I’ll take the bodies,” the young wizard said with a smile, then watched enviously as Abel took everything from Wizard Black . Even all of the rank four apprentice wizard’s belongings were taken .
When Abel was done, all that was left for the young wizard were two magic gold cards that could not be transferred at all .
“Keep these magic gold cards,” the young wizard said while trying to be nice, “I’ll tell the Wizard Union to contact the Bank of the Holy Continent . What they’ll do is to force a bank transfer from Wizard Black to your account . Is that okay with you? All you need to do is to take these two cards and give them to Wizard Morton . ”
Regardless of what methods Abel used, the young wizard respected him for killing a wizard that was way above his league . Besides, Abel was a disciple of Wizard Morton, which was, by no means, a title that should be ignored .
In fact, Abel did feel some malice from the young wizard . When he felt it, however, it didn’t remain for too long . Perhaps it’s because Morton was mentioned . All that ill intention just then was quickly turned into a sense of admiration .
“Thank you for the advice . When my teacher asks about what happened today, I’m going to say something good about you,” Abel saluted to the young wizard .
Abel then left happily with the loot that he retrieved . The young wizard, too, left with the two dead bodies . When the two were gone, a figure appeared from where they were talking . It was Wizard Morton .
Morton saw the blood on the ground . He thought it was a good idea to get Abel here for some training . He wanted to teach him about how dangerous it was in the world of wizards . He had no idea that Wizard Black would have a seclusion circle, though . Abel was lucky (or just really smart) to have handled all that on his own .
When Morton realized that Abel was trapped inside the seclusion circle, he pretty much just gave up on rescuing him . Even for him, breaking a seclusion circle was not a quick and easy job . Instead, Morton planned to kill the dark wizard as soon as the circle was deactivated .
Abel killed not only the rank four apprentice wizard but also headshot the rank seven dark wizard . As the situation changed so quickly, Morton decided not to show up at all . If he did appear and spoke to Abel, Abel might just rely on others to save him during his future adventures .
After seeing that Abel was safe, Morton teleported himself back to Caral City . Since his guardian circle was at a much higher level than the wizard women, no one noticed that he had left his tower .
“Abel came back!” Camille smiled at Abel . He’s in a pretty mood . He probably made some good deals when Abel was out .
“What did you buy, Abel?” Carlos asked .
“Some crystals cores,” Abel said abruptly . He didn’t want to talk too much about it . He wanted to see his teacher first .
“How much did you buy it for? Were you ripped off?” Carlos asked with concern .
“Not when I am getting from you,” Abel laughed .
“Well, you’re pretty sensible for saying that,” Carlos patted his chest, “You know, I do know a lot about everything that goes on in a market . ”
“Yeah, yeah . Come on, pack your things . We’re going back now,” Camille said .
Carlos said as he packed up the few rune cards that he had on the rack, “Don’t be like that, man! You know, I did buy a material that was worth twenty gold coins for just ten . ”
“Well, why don’t you talk about the time you spent 100 gold coins for a piece of junk?”
“Er…that was just a mistake!”
…… .
Abel heard their conversation . He was delighted . As the three went on with their conversation, they came in front of the teleportation circle .
“I’ll pay for transportation this time,” Camillie rushed in . Abel chose not to argue with her . As for Carlos, he just pretended that he was looking at the scenery around them .
After the wizard activated the transportation circle, a bolt of white lightning took them to their destination .
“We are back! Nothing feels better than your own home, am I alright? Carlos shouted in excitement whilst trying to recover from his headache .
“Fair enough,” Abel replied . Just when he stepped out from the circle, he could hear Wizard Morton calling for him from downstairs .
“Come here, Abel,” Morton called .
Abel thought to himself as he quickly said goodbye to Camillie and Carlos, could Wizard Morton have known about Caral City already? Man, the wizards sure had a good network system .
“You looking for me, Sir?” Abel asked as he went to level 11 from level 10 . When he arrived, Wizard Morton was already waiting for him .
“You did very well at Caral city . Actually, you did much better than I thought,” Morton smiled .
There was just no way that Abel could hide about what he did . Now, all the wizards in the other three Duchies knew about how he, a rank two apprentice wizard, has successfully murdered a rank seven dark wizard . Wizard Morton was a proud man now, much prouder than he already was before .
“You knew about it already, Sir?” Abel replied whilst scratching his head . He did see this coming, but he was still pretty surprised that Morton could know about it so quickly . In fact, the news came faster to Morton than he did .
What Abel didn’t know was that Wizard Morton was protecting him behind the scenes the entire time . While students wanted to find a good teacher, good teachers wanted to find good students . Because of how talented Abel was, Morton had to put in extra effort to look after him .
Abel took out the portal bag and gave it to Morton, “This is what I got from that dark wizard . Please, accept this gift on my behalf . ”
Instead of taking the portal bag, Wizard Morton just stood there with a “proud dad” look on his face . What Abel did was very touching for him . When he got his first portal bag, he was hugging it in his sleep . Abel, though, he decided to give it away to thank his teacher .
“Keep it . Actually, look for anything that could be used to identify its owner . If there is, I’ll go search for the magic tower he’s at,” Morton said with a smile .
“You mean this?” Abel asked as he gave a card to Wizard Morton . He had no idea what the card was for .
