Abe the Wizard

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

As Abel rode his horse carriage towards the magic tower, even the driver of the carriage could tell that he was in a good mood today. Abel’s brother Zach was getting married at Bennett’s Castle.

On the carriage, Abel was reading Morton’s observation record carefully. He had already learned a lot of useful information from the record, and whenever he had time, he would’ve taken it out to read it. Due to his power of the will, his memories were able to increase drastically, but in order to secure those memories, he still needed to read a few times before he was able to memorize those clearly.

As the carriage departed off the main road outside of Bakong City and headed towards the mountain roads. Abel’s power of will suddenly sensed a threat that surrounded him. It was like being stared at by a viper.

“Stop the carriage!” Shouted Abel as he opened the door and immediately jumped out.

“What’s the matter, my Lord?” Asked the driver, looking at Abel strangely.

“We will call it a day, head back first.” Abel did not explain his intentions but instead told the driver to leave.

“Yes, my Lord.” Without saying anything else, the driver turned the carriage around and returned back to Bakong City.

Abel, however, did not move. His power of the will was now in full swing, as though as he would be attacked by a thunderstorm if he moved a single bit.

“Master Abel, it was not easy to find you!” Said a strange voice coming from somewhere.

Abel turned and looked in the direction of the voice. It was a wolf rider he knew very well. This was the heart of the human world, which other worgen could it be? Especially when that worgen was wolf rider captain.

Yes, it was wolf rider captain of Flaurling. Due to the missing treasure of the wolf clan, he was blamed by the heads of the wolf clan, but since wolf rider captain of Flaurling was located in the human world, it was very hard to capture him unless a head wolf rider captain was sent out. However, it would be very risky for a head wolf rider captain to enter the human world

If anything had happened to the head wolf rider captain here in the human world, then the power of the Wolf clan would be greatly weakened. Hence, no head of the wolf clan would ever give out such an order. Furthermore, no head wolf rider captain would dare risk their lives to undertake such a risky mission.

Therefore, despite that wolf rider captain of Flaurling had lost the most important treasure of the wolf clan, and this angered the heads of the wolf clan, he was only asked to complete a mission to redeem himself. That mission was to assassinate the killer of Woolf family’s 6th son Fowler, who was the human race’s most potential blacksmith master, Abel

If wolf rider captain of Flaurling wanted to return to the Orc empire, then he would have to accept the Wolf clan’s arrangements to assassinate Abel. Otherwise, he would have to spend the rest of his life adrift and would never be able to return to the orc empire.

If wolf rider captain of Flaurling didn’t lose the resources in the first place, he would be successfully promoted to a head wolf rider captain. Then nothing would matter at that point. He would be able to return to the Orc’s Empire anytime he wanted. Not only no one would stop him, but they would’ve also given him a warm welcome to due to his prestigious title.

But now that wolf rider captain of Flaurling had lost all of the resources, with all of the treasures that would promote him being all stolen. All he had left was the armor on his body and his weapon.

With no other options left, the only thing wolf rider of Flaurling could do was to follow the orders of the Wolf clan and assassinate Abel. But assassinating a blacksmith master in the human world wasn’t easy at all, especially since the master blacksmith resided in a capital city.

In order to acquire details on Abel’s daily movements, the Wolf clan used all kinds of connection they had in the human world, purchasing intel from humans that they have traded with before. With the help of these traitors, they have finally found out that Abel was heading to the magic tower by himself every day. As Abel becoming a wizard disciple was extremely secretive, only a few people knew about it other than the royals, with ordinary citizens only knowing that Abel was living in Bakong City.

The Wolf clan was well aware that if they had to kill Abel before becoming a formal wizard. Otherwise, if they want to kill him in the future, it would cost them a lot of their resources. Hence, the news of Abel was quickly passed onto the wolf rider of Flaurling as they wanted him to assassinate Abel immediately.

Under these circumstances, wolf rider captain of Flaurling decided to ambush along Abel’s route to the magic tower. Originally he was planning to kill Abel by surprise, but he was not expecting his power of the will to be this sensitive.

“Wolf rider, you shouldn’t have come into the human world!” Said Abel quietly, pretending that he didn’t know who wolf rider captain of Flaurling was.

“Master Abel, you know why I’m looking for you!” Said wolf rider captain of Flaurling assuredly.

“Why?” Abel had offended the wolf clan so much that he didn’t even realize for a moment which of event wolf rider captain of Flaurling was talking about.

“The great Woolf family were furious that you have killed their sixth son, Fowler. That’s why they have ordered me to come here and take your life!”Wolf rider captain of Flaurling said to Abel with a ferocious face.

“Great? Abel scoffed. “Aren’t you afraid that your beast gods will blame you for describing the Woolf family as great?”

The word “great” wasn’t an adjective that was used casually in this world. They were normally only used to describe the most powerful king in the most powerful kingdom, or the legendary spirits and gods that possessed immense power

To wolf riders, the Woolf family was considered as the royals of the wolf riders as it was a part of the spirit of the wolf rider. Hence, wolf rider addressed the Woolf family as “great.”

Wolf rider captain of Flaurling wondered why Abel was still able to face him so calmly. The feeling of being ignored irritated him so much that a powerful force came from within his body as he rushed directly towards him.

Abel’s clothes were freely waving around In mid-air. With wolf rider captain of Flaurling ‘s immensely powerful yet invisible impose pressure, small leaves and dust were picked up from the ground and blew directly towards Abel. However, it formed a circular defense shield and scattered towards the side not far in front of Abel.

The golden combat qi of Abel had allowed him almost to impose pressure from the wolf rider captain. But this impose pressure was much stronger than any other knight he had ever met, from Viscount Dickens, Commander Lowell to Commander Hopkins, and even the vice-captain to the Duchy’ s Royal defense force, commander Lowell’s impose pressure was no were as close as this wolf rider captain.

Abel’s emotion began to look grim as this was the most powerful opponent he had ever faced, and since the wolf riders were naturally a fighting race. It meant that they would be much stronger than an ordinary human at the same level.

Abel then placed his hands into the portal bag at his waist, as an ice magic sword and magic shield promptly appeared on both of his hands.

A Portal bag?” As wolf rider of Flaurling was still puzzled about how could this intermediate knight in front of him would withstand the impose pressure. He noticed Abel also had a Portal bag. In a split of a moment, he almost thought Abel had stolen his spirit portal bag. However, he quickly changed his mind after he saw the portal bag was on Abel’s waist.

“Your teacher endorses you so much that he will give you a portal bag, but it will soon be mine.” Said wolf rider captain of Flaurling, eyes were full of greed. However, his human language sounded terrible.

Little did wolf rider captain of Flaurling know, the idea he had just disregarded was actually the truth.

“Too bad I’m not interested in what you have on you!” Abel glanced over at wolf rider captain of Flaurling, who had come here without a mount wolf. Since he was in the center of the human civilization, all he had on him was a battle-ax while wearing a piece of armor.

These seemingly unintentional words by Abel struck the soft spot where the Wolf rider captain was penniless. When he had heard Abel’s words, it immediately gave a war cry and charged directly towards Abel with his battle-ax.

Halfway through the charge of the wolf rider, a white outpouring of combat qi from the wolf rider captain of Flaurling suddenly increased the power of the ax, and the air seemed to freeze with its combat qi.

The wolf rider captain was so fast that within split seconds, the ax was already in front of Abel’s face. Luckily, Abel had been watching out for his attack and avoided it early.

Abel swung his shield in front of him. The golden combat qi surrounded the shield, as the battle-ax flew towards it. “Dong!” Abel lightly twisted his body, and wolf rider captain of Flaurling had been knocked back by a step from the rebound.

Wolf rider captain of Flaurling ‘s eyes was filled with disbelief. He was about to be promoted to a head wolf rider captain, which was supposed to possess the top class of fighting power. But now, he was repelled by an intermediate knight.

And Abel knew very well that in the first block because the shield had the ability to absorb physical impact. The two weren’t actually too different in terms of strength, and this was the first time Abel had ever seen an opponent with a similar strength with him.
