Abe the Wizard - Chapter 49

Chapter 49

As Abel was riding on his horse, the vacant horse that was carrying the high-quality horse stock was by his side . Both horses were extremely agile . Instead of admiring the scenery along the journey, Abel carefully observed if there were movements around him . He constantly took a map out from his chest pocket and cautiously compared it to the terrain .

When looking at the maps of this world, the first thing you would notice was not the details . Yes, because there weren’t many details . Instead, there was a general line that was drawn which highlighted the nearby geographical features of the area .

The map Abel had on his hand was already a special map made only for nobles . It was already considered the best map available in this world . There was a list of symbols and their explanations at the bottom of the map, which corresponded with symbols that were placed all over on the map .

This river that Abel had just crossed was marked on the map with a symbol that read, “Be careful of the deepwater when passing through . ”

When Abel looked back at the river in front of him, it was more like a stream than a river . As he was constantly groaning about the map, he thought to himself that maybe the symbol on the map should change to “beware of getting your shoes wet” instead .

He then looked at the map again, this time, the map marked there was a small hill ahead . As Abel looked up, he saw a small hill . Luckily it hasn’t disappeared yet . The map was finally accurate this time around .

This was the first time Abel had traveled this far alone . So he carefully examined the surrounding environments since he didn’t want to lose his life through a trivial accident .

Suddenly, there was a stirring sound coming from the air . Abel immediately looked up into the sky to see what was going on . To his surprise, a gigantic bird was crashing down towards the small hill ahead .

Abel’s curiosity was quickly aroused . The bird was bigger than anything he could have ever imagined . He had never seen such a gigantic bird in this life or even in his past life . It was almost as big as a passenger plane .

The Knight of Saroyan set off towards the direction of that small hill . Meanwhile, about 10 minutes later, Abel had gone down to the foot of the mountain and left the two horses there . He then took out his Harry’s bow, placed the magic ice sword on his back and went back up to the mountain .

Unlike ordinary horses, these warhorses did not need to be tied up in the wide . They were trained to not leave the location where their owners had left them .

Furthermore, these carnivorous warhorses could also drive out any potential threats which made it much safer when traveling with them .

It took a lot of effort and time for Abel to walk from the foot of the mountain towards the top . Although this small hill didn’t look big from afar, it was only until now Abel had realized the definition of a dead horse running up the mountain .

Then suddenly, Abel heard the sound of “goo . . goo…,” as well as people talking in beast language . Abel’s heart dropped . He was not expecting the orcs to be nearby at all .

As Abel carefully lurked around his surroundings, he remembered that he was caught by the wolfrider last time due to his scent . But this time he gained experience . He found a leeward region that should keep his scent from reaching the orcs .

“How long do I have to wait before it can fly again?,” Cried a voice in the orc language .

“It may take up to two days, my Lord,” Said a humble voice .

“twp days? Are you serious that I have to stay in this human world for 2 more days? I will feel sick even if I have to stay another day . You better hurry it up and cure the thing . ” As a voice lashed out from somewhere .

“Yes, my Lord . ”

Abel carefully stuck his head out to peek at the current situation . Even though he was in a leeward region, he also held his breath for extra precautions . Who knew if the orcs could hear better than normal humans?

The first thing that Abel saw was the gigantic bird, the bird had a huge wound on the side of its’ body . If the wound was measured to normal human sizes, it would account for the length of two people! However, a wound for these gigantic birds was considered only a small wound . As Abel continued looking, there was a worgen wearing leather clothing, who was carefully putting medicines onto the continuously bleeding wound of the bird .

On the edge was a wargon that caught Abel’s interest immediately . It was not an ordinary wolfrider . This was the first time that Abel had seen an orc wearing armor . The fact that it was wearing a black armor was all the more peculiar . It didn’t have a shiny smooth surface, which meant it was no ordinary steel . Since only unpainted material would have a texture like this . This material was black in default . Abel had never seen such unique material in his life .

This special worgen seemed to be extremely irritated, as he constantly urged the other worgen to hurry it up to treat the bird’s wounds .

“Stay here and take care of the wound . I am going to find something to eat,” said the worgen in black armor . He then headed out towards the other side of the mountain .

Abel took a closer look at the worgen who was working on the bird’s wound . It looked like it was going to take a while before the bird could fly again . Therefore, he abandoned his original idea of investigating the bird and wandered off to follow the wolf rider in the black armor .

The wargon in black armor was Fowler . He had just escaped from the Neuilly Valley . Since the bird was injured and extremely tired during its long journey here, it should be able to fly again any time soon . The only option was to find a hidden spot around for the bird to heal up .

Fowler’s loss was tremendous . All of his year-long guards and mount wolves had been killed . However, as long as he could return home, all of these things were trivial compared to his family’s wealth .

Fowler suddenly stopped when he reached the bottom of the mountain . He carefully examined his surroundings . At this moment, Abel thought he was caught and he immediately hid behind a giant boulder .

Abel had suffered a lot of hardships with his attempt in tracking Fowler . On many occasions, he wanted to pull out his bow and one-shot the wargon . However, Abel always had a feeling that it would be very hard to hit its armor . As Abel’s power of will increased, he became more confident in himself in taking the shot .

Slowly, he poked out his head and saw the wolf rider taking off his armor . When the armor was removed, it was able to be easily folded into a rectangle . Then the rectangle seemed to be fixed after wolf rider had pressed the top for a few times . Afterward, the wolf rider picked it up and carried it behind him .

As Abel placed the arrow back on harry’s bow and pulled backward, saying to himself, “You are just killing yourself . You can’t blame me for taking off your own armour . . ”

What happened next shocked Abel . The wolfrider suddenly took out a necklace from his chest and uttered a spell .

Abel had experience with spells .  Since he was in a close range with the wargon, his power of the will was able to remember every single word the wolf rider had uttered .

These kinds of spells were a typical orc style spell . These spells usually contained a large number of quotes that praised the orc god, mixed with some strange pronunciation . As soon as the wargon finished saying the spell . A soul-crushing force emerged from the sky, followed by a green beam of light . The light began brighter and brighter, soon surrounding the entire body of the wargon .

By the time the light had dissipated, the wolf rider had fully transformed into a human’s body when he appeared in front of Abel’s eyes . The wargon’s unique arched back was gone, its’ height had dropped as well as his facial hair and pointed mouth looking completely like a human .

“Wow, a treasure!” Abel was completely struck by this sight .  Whatever that necklace was, it was a high-value treasure . On top of that, it was from an orc, so he could justify stealing it without feeling any remorse .

As Abel pulled his bow to the maximum power and aimed precisely onto the wargon’s head . However, this was not a human, it’s an orc . Its head could be counted as military service . Therefore after a bit of consideration, Abel decided that shooting it at the heart was a more viable option

With a bang, the arrow traveled faster than the speed of sound . The wolfrider was hit in the heart with almost no response . The necklace then promptly began to flash a few times and then suddenly the wargon’s appearance had transformed from human back to its original form .

Abel stepped forward and approached the wolfrider carefully . When he confirmed that it was dead, he began to loot the body of the wolf rider .

The first thing Abel took was the necklace, he carefully removed it from the wolf rider’s neck . The necklace was a circle made of unknown materials, on one side, it was carved with the beast god, and the other side was the human god of war .

And the second thing he looted was the set of armor, Abel picked the armor up with his hands . The armor was extremely light . It was only around five pounds, which was almost nothing for a knight . Abel lightly poked the armor with his dagger, it did not make a mark at all . He poked it again with more force, still, it made no difference . After a few more times, Abel gave up . It’s better to leave it to a knight with combat qi to test out the defense power of this armor . A novice knight like him was too weak to do anything .

Abel was so glad that he believed in his power of will and didn’t attack the wolf rider when it was wearing the armor . Luckily, the wolf rider got himself killed by taking off his own armor .

Fowler didn’t deserve to be killed . All he wanted to do was to sneak inside a human village to get some food . He wasn’t looking to harm anyone . Since he didn’t want an entire troop of knights running after him, he used a family treasure to turn himself into a human so he could go steal some food .

His armor was made exclusively for worgen, to transform into a human . Fowler had to take it off, and Abel took advantage of what he did .

In the end, Abel found a pile of things from the wolf rider’s arms, including two rune sign, which was a surprise for Abel . Other than that, he had also found some jewelry, and finally a familiar orc technique sign .
