Abe the Wizard

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The young knight said, “It was nothing. I saw that he had a mount wolf, so I stepped up and asked him a few questions. Then, he took out a card to play with me, so I hit it on to the ground.” His voice was beginning to sound very weak. He realized a person of Abel status might not take out a card to play with him after all.

“What card?” Commander Lowell turned and look on the ground, and there was an ordinary-looking card with an engraving of a big tree on top of it.

Commander Lowell’s face began to grow horribly pale. He then turned and deeply bowed to Abel. He said, “the honorable baron Abel. Do not worry. I will give you and your teacher an explanation. He and his family will pay for what he had done.”

When commander Lowell realized could have offended a Wizard to save one of his men, cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He thought, you definitely deserved to die.

The young knight was horrified by the words of commander Lowell. Hopelessness shadowed over him. This ordinary card must represent some with great power. Up to this point, he felt a giant hand grab him by the neck. With a clear snapping sound, the body of the young knight had already been thrown to the ground by commander Lowell. He died.

Commander Lowell carefully picked up the card on the floor, gently wipe the dust off, and handed it back to Abel with a bow. He said, “The honorable baron Abel, please take back your identity card. Do not worry. His family will also pay for what he had done.

If commander Lowell did not kill the young knight already, Abel would have done so himself. Abel said with a cold calming voice, “You better. If I am not satisfied, I will report this to my teacher and let him answer your questions.”

“Do not worry. I will make sure you are satisfied!” Said commander Lowell with a shiver. If this had angered the wizard, not to mention that the young Knight’s family, even himself would be in big trouble.

Abel reached out his hand, took his identity card, and strapped it back on his waist. He then lightly padded Black Wind on its neck, Black Wind immediately accelerate and disappeared into a small dot in the distance before the eyes of commander Lowell. Soon, even the small dot vanished from his sight.

“Big brother Abel, don’t get angry,” said Loraine as she gently patted the back of Abel.

“Loraine, I’m not angry,” said Abel as he turned and carried Loraine back to the front. He felt like he was hit with some kind of emotion. With his increase in power and status, he noticed he had become a completely different person compared to himself when he first came to this world. He was no longer the peaceful and conflict-less person he used to be. That part of him had completely disappeared.

“But you just…?” Loraine asked curiously.

“That knight had insulted the possession of my teacher. He deserved it. I just feel like I had lost myself a bit!” Said Abel with an awkward smile.

“Big brother Abel, you lost yourself!” Loraine felt a little bit confused by the words of Abel.

Abel no longer wanted to talk about what just happened, so he changed the topic and asked Loraine with a caring tone, “Loraine, are you getting used to living here?”

“Yes, it reminds me of home.” When Loraine mentioned home, a sad expression began to emerge.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely send you home,” Abel promised Loraine once again.

“Big brother Abel, that’s impossible. My home is very far away. I sneaked out to play with a teleportation array but got captured by the capturing squad. Then the capturing squad carried me for a very long time and very far away. I don’t think I can never go back home.” As Loraine was speaking, tears endlessly rolled down from her eyes and shoulders continuously twitched.

“Don’t worry Loraine, do you know big brother Abel has a very big secret?” Abel said as he gently hugged Loraine with his arms.

“What secret?” Loraine still had the nature of a kid. When she heard Abel said secret, she immediately paid attention.

“You’ll know in a moment,” said Abel as he signaled Black a Wind to Run faster with his heart, while simultaneously trying to use his soul chain to connect with White Cloud.

Ever since Abel had settled in Bakong City, Abel had ordered White Cloud to look for food for itself in a mountain range a few hundred miles away. He had always been in contact with White Cloud through the soul chain, but they had never seen each other in a very long time. When Abel requested that they should meet up with the soul chain, he felt excitement and joy coming from the other side of the soul chain.

Black Wind had been running for an hour, and they were around a hundred miles beyond Bakong City. Suddenly, a massive body landed in front of them from the sky. Black Wind alertly stared at White Cloud, and White Cloud stared back. A confused look then emerged from both of their faces. Both of them were connected by Abel’s soul chain, and they could both scent the presence of their owner of each other.

“Black Wind, this is White Cloud.” Abel introduced as he gently padded on the neck of Black Wind.” He then turned to White Cloud and said, “This is Black Wind, you two can get to know each other a bit.”

Black Wind made some “wooo wooo” sound, and White Cloud made some “ghoo ghoo” sounds as a way of saying hi to each other.

“My god, big brother Abel, you have a sky sparrow.” Loraine had seemed a lot of things, she immediately recognized this creature in front of her.

“Did you see it. This is my secret” said Abel as he jumped down from Black Wind and helped Loraine come down as well.

“Big brother Abel, I will definitely keep this secret” as Loraine was speaking, she made a zipping motion with her hand in front of her lips, looking extremely serious.

“Loraine, now you can stop worrying. No matter how far away your home is when I become an official wizard, I will use White Cloud to send you home” when Abel saw the adorable look on Loraine’s face, he couldn’t help but laugh.

” I will wait for you, big brother Abel,” Loraine said these words very softly as she began to look at White Cloud with an extremely curious expression. She no longer wanted to look at Abel as she turned her gaze towards White Cloud.

“My beautiful elf, may I invite you on a flight?” Asked Abel as he gave a majestic bow to Loraine and reached out his hand.

“Can I? Can I really?” Loraine immediately held grabbed Abel’s hand with excitement like she doesn’t care about anything else in the world.

“Let’s go!” Abel jumped up on to the back of White Cloud, then he reached out his hand and pulled Loraine onto the back of White Cloud as well.

“Ghoo ghoo ghoo!” White Cloud was very happy that it could meet its owner again. It reached its head back so it could be closer to Abel. Abel reached out his hand and gently brushed on the feathers on White Cloud’s neck.

“Big brother Abel, can I pat it as well?” Said Loraine standing behind Abel with admiration.

Abel moved to a side, allowing Loraine to go beside him and pad White Cloud. Loraine stuck out her hand and gently brushed on the feathers of White Cloud. It made White Cloud so happy that it laughed with sounds of “ghooo ghooo”.

“Take a seat Loraine. Get ready.” Abel gave half of the seat on White Cloud’s neck to Loraine, and he then helped her secure the seatbelt, took out a wind goggle from his portal bag and help her put it on.

Seeing that Abel was getting busy because of her, Loraine couldn’t help but let out a small giggle.

“Black Wind, come up,” Abel shouted at Black Wind as he pointed towards a roofless leather carriage on the back of White Cloud. He then followed, “You can sit there.”

Black Wind really liked White Cloud. When he heard the words of Abel, he immediately jumped on to the carriage on the back of White Cloud. Abel then stepped up and secured Black Wind with a seat belt as well. Black Wind was not used to seatbelts, and it continued to wiggle its body. It only quieted down a bit when Abel gently hit Black Wind on its big head.

Abel then returned to the side of Loraine and put on his own seatbelt and wind goggles. He then shouted, ” White Cloud, Let’s fly!”

The gigantic White Cloud lightly made the “ghoo ghoo” sound. It then stretched its wings and began to fly smoothly off the ground. Despite White Cloud’s gigantic body, it maintained its balance very well. It did not feel like it was very heavy at all. Abel was filled with admiration, and the experience was not all too different than flying a plane in his past life.

According to Abel’s demands, White Cloud directly fly up to the highest part of the sky. This was a human’s world, and Abel would be in big trouble they were spotted. Although there were no other flying mounts in the Duchy of Carmel, wizards might have some unknown techniques to attack White Cloud. Therefore, Abel had always warned White Cloud to stay away from all magic towers.

White Cloud was a type of bird, and its eyes were a lot stronger than humans. It could spot tiny details on the ground from the sky. Other than serving the command of Abel and hunting for its own food, it was a Sky Sparrow’s nature to fly high in the sky. Therefore, despite White Cloud had been living in the human world for a long time, he had never been spotted.

This was the first time Loraine had looked down on to the ground from the sky. She was filled with joy as she pointed towards the trees, houses, mountains, and rivers on the ground. She couldn’t help but giggle and get Abel to look down with her. Seeing how happy Loraine was, Abel was 120 percent satisfied with his decision to take Loraine outside today. Therefore, he also laughed next to Loraine at the tiny landscape passing by.
