Chapter 172: Making Things Difficult
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

There was no way the deity of Gosford would let any wizard interact with Abel alone because of the possibility that he might possess two super treasures . The few worgens he had sent previously had all failed and even the most powerful wolf rider captain of Flaurling had died in Bakong City .

If not for these past failures and the immense value of these two treasures, the intermediate deity of Gosford would never come to the human world . He would be risking getting captured by humans . The worgens wouldn’t dare to take his treasures even if they had killed Abel, but human wizards were different . They would keep treasure every time they had a chance .

Abel was following Wizard Morton when a cool breeze blew upon his heart . It seemed like some kind of danger was going to dawn upon him . He was still very new to his raise of danger sensing ability . He could only try to look around, trying to find where the danger was located . However, he was in the Wizard Union’s branch headquarters . Almost all wizards here were able to be a threat to his life, so his senses were basically useless here .

Wizard Morton slowed down his steps, he turned and asked Abel in a caring tone “Abel, are you not feeling well?”

“Teacher, I’m fine,” Abel shook his head, trying to get the sensation out of his head .

Abel quickly followed up with the steps of Wizard Morton . When they walked around the center of the hall, his attention was drawn by a big wall rounded by wizards . The wall was filled with words, swimming up and down .

“That’s the mission list, in the future, you can use your wizard badge to directly accept missions from the teleportation circle in the magic tower . ” Said Wizard Morton, lightly turning his head after seeing Abel’s curiosity looking towards the group of people .

“Why are those wizards accepting their missions here . Isn’t it more convenient to stay at their own magic tower?” Said Abel in a puzzled tone .

“Not all wizards like to be locked in one place . Many of them travel around the world to seek chances to increase their rank,” Wizard Morton replied .

“Then how do they meditate?” Abel thought, without a magic tower or a place filled with mana such as the dark world which they could enter, those wizard meditate would not have a place to meditate .

“The parts of the wizarding world you have made contact with are still way too small . You have only seen the surface of it . This world is very big, bigger than you have ever imagined . There are many other ways for wizards to practice . Concentrating magic circles as well as hunting to get fresh new crystal cores are some of the common ways wizards go about their training . Especially getting a fresh crystal core, they can increase a Wizard’s meditation speed by a lot . If crystal cores don’t always solidify after 2 hours, all wizards will be much more powerful .

Although crystal core solidifying might be a problem for others, it was nothing to Abel . Since he had a Horadric cube, he could even pause the time of the explosion of an exploding big sword, so of course, he could preserve a crystal core .

His speed of progress was way to slow . When he was a knight, he was continuously spoiled by his lightning speed of progress . Now, as a wizard, he also felt like his training speed was very slow . Although to other people, he might seem like a genius with a scary speed of progress, Abel knew fully well in his heart that every night he had an extra ten days to practice . Therefore, it had actually taken him three years to progress from rank 1 to a rank 3 wizard .

If other wizards knew what Abel was thinking, they might have wanted to strangle him to death . How were three years anything to wizards? Many wizards with backgrounds would start using the ‘constitution potion’ ever since they were around ten years old and start doing training . If they could become a rank 2 novice wizard in 3 years, they would already be considered as a genius .

Let’s take Carlos, for example . He had been training under wizard Morton ever since he was very young, and he had only reached the level of a rank 3 closed to rank 4 wizard around his 20s . He had been meditating for more than ten years, and Camille was not too different . Ever since the start, Wizard Morton had cultivated the two of them like they were his inheritance . If Abel did not appear, they would have been the last disciples of Wizard Morton .

“Abel, we are here . Don’t worry, Wizard Blight won’t give you a hard time,” Wizard Morton comforted Abel with a smile . Seeing the distracted look on Abel’s face, Wizard Morton still thought he was worried about the examination .

“Ok, teacher!” Said Abel trying to calm himself down .

In front of them was a huge door scattered with patterns . Wizard Morton moved to the side and said, “According to the rules, you have to try to open this door yourself until we can see the Wizard responsible for examination .

Abel nodded lightly and placed his hand on the door . The patterns on the doors began to glow, and he felt his mana being lost . Afterward, the door slowly opened .

“Nice, only a rank 3 wizard can on pen this door, now let’s go!” Said wizard Morton, padding the back of Abel . He was not surprised at all .

There was only a desk within room number 3, behind the desk sat a Wizard in a white robe . After he saw Wizard Morton, he immediately stood up and welcome .

“Welcome, Wizard Morton!” Said Wizard Blight . This was not how Wizard Morton had expected at all . Wizard Blight was very polite . He crossed his arms in front of his chest, forming an X and did a wizard bow .

Wizard Morton replied with a Wizard bow as well and said: “Wizard Blight, please examine my disciple!”

By putting both arms in front of the chest and bow, was a type of friendly wizard bow . It showed that the Wizard come in peace, as he was putting his hand on a place that the other party could see .

“This is your disciple?” Wizard Blight looked up and down at Abel and said with a smile, “Actually, an examination won’t even matter . I can already feel that your disciple had already completed fulfilling the rank 3 wizard pattern . ”

Abel immediately felt lifted when he heard these words . However, when he thought that the examination would be over in a moment, Wizard Morton was calming, staring at Wizard Blight, waiting for the words that followed .

After a while, Wizard Blight proceeded to say, “But according to the rule of the Wizard Union, I need to arrange a novice wizard to have a friendly battle with your disciple . From that, I will access your disciple’s mastery in his spells . ”

“Go ahead!” Wizard Morton said, nodding his head . Although this rule did exist, it had often been skipped . Since Wizard Blight especially raised this request, it seems like things wouldn’t go as smoothly as expected .

Wizard Blight then said with a smile, “Wizard Morton, you are so unlucky . All the novice wizards responsible for examination just so happen to not be here today . Can you come back again tomorrow?”

Wizard Morton darkly thought to himself . The trouble had arrived, as expected . An original examination had pushed down until tomorrow . However, Wizard Morton could not refuse, since Wizard Blight was still doing things according to the rules .

“Ok, we’ll come back tomorrow morning . Are you sure there will be novice wizards for battle examination around that time?” Said Wizard Morton to Wizard Blight in a deep voice .

“Of course . You don’t need to worry . Just come back again in working hours tomorrow morning, and I will arrange it for you!” Said Wizard Blight certainly .

Seeing there was not much he could do . Wizard Morton turning his head towards Abel and said: “Abel, let’s go . ”

By that point, Abel had fully understood . Although this Wizard Blight seemed like a nice guy, he was truly trying to give both of them a hard time . Abel was angry in his heart, but he could also do nothing about it .

As they were leaving, Abel walked around the mission list again . A message suddenly attracted his gaze .

Mission number: 388

Mission requirement: soul catching grass

Mission duration: unlimited

Mission reward: 100: 1 credit point, unlimited .

However, the portal bag in which he had put his soul catching grass was in his Kong Kong spirit portal bag . He could not take it out here, so he could only try to remember the mission number and followed Wizard Morton out of the hall of the Wizard Union .

“Teacher, ain’t we going back today?” Asked Abel after he saw Wizard Morton had left the Wizard Union branch to headquarter .

“We’ll stay here for the day and come back tomorrow morning . This place was pretty nice, and you just had a taste of it . ” Said Wizard Morton with a smile .

It seemed like this entire city was revolving around the Wizard Union . Every shop was selling stuff related to wizards .
