Abe the Wizard

“We have Abel, don’t we?” Carlos was no longer as stressed as before as he spoke to Abel.

“What do you want me to do?” Abel asked.

“Don’t you have a portal bag?” You can help us carry the dead body back.” Said Carlos as he pointed towards the dead bodies on the ground.

“Abel, don’t listen to him. You can’t make your portal bag dirty like that.” Camille followed.

“Don’t worry Camille; I got another one,” Said Abel after hearing the both of them make their jokes.

“Another one, where did you find all these portal things,” Said Carlos. He immediately jumped up and held Abel on the shoulders.

“It was a spoil of war from the last time I fought alongside teacher. I only got one; the teacher got 2 portal bags, I think.” Abel emphasized when he talked about the 2 portal bags, which made Carlos’s eyes wide open like a ball.

Abel took out the space finger joint and shoved the 7 dead bodies inside. Camille stuck out her hand curiously, so Abel playfully placed the space finger joint on her hand.

“That thing is so disgusting!” Although this was what Camille had said, she still rolled around the space finger joint on her hand and admired it.

“Camille, what would you say is the teacher’s favorite thing?” Carlos asked out of the blue.

“What?” Camille did not understand what he meant by that all of a sudden.

“What’s the teacher’s favorite thing?” Carlos asked again, this time in a more serious tone.

“How do I know, lately he’s been holding a glass of red wine every day, so maybe he really likes red wine,” Said Camille hesitantly. She then asked Carlos back, “Why are you asking this question?”

“No… nothing!” Said Carlos, sounding a little forced.

“Ooh, I know now. You want the teacher’s portal bag,” Camille knew Carlos all too well after living with him for all these years. So, of course, she knew what car was thinking by seeing his facial expression.

“No, I’m not!” Carlos made an excuse and then proceeded to say, “Where you think they sell the best red wine?”

“If I remember it correctly, the brand of red wine teacher normally drink is from Coder Wine house. You can go buy some,” Camille said after thinking for a bit.

“Camille, you have such a good eye. I’ll go to Coder wine house to buy some when we are going back,” Said Carlos in excitement.

dre

“Cough cough!” Abel coughed twice and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, “the Coder Winehouse you seem to be talking about is under my name.

“Oh! You’re too rich. I know the wine from Coder wine house is always in high demand, so I’m not even going to spend a single cent now. Just give me 2 bottles,” said Carlos, with eyes fixed on Abel.

Camille face-palmed herself; she could not stare at Carlos directly anymore.

“Ok, I’ll give you 2 bottles.” Said Abel as he took out 2 personal bottles of red wine from his portal bag and placed it on Carlos’s hand.

Carlos took the red wines and hugged them close to his chest, as though he was holding a portal bag.

“Let’s go back!” Said Camille. She didn’t even bother to look at Carlos as she turned her head directly towards Abel.

On the way back, Abel and Camille exchanged knowledge on etching. Black Wind had also held back its impose, and walked side by side with Camille’s war horse. Carlos told his war horse to follow behind them, not sure what that guy was thinking.

Both Black Wind and Camille’s war horse were familiar with the road back home. Therefore even though the sky was dark, they still decided to make their way back to the magic tower other than finding a hotel somewhere.

It was already midnight when they got back to the magic tower. They hopped off their mounts in front of the magic tower, but Abel suddenly heard Black Wind howl in dissatisfaction. That was weird, so he connected to the soul chain to hear what Black Wind had to say.

“Wine, wine.” Black Wind had been repeating this word all this time.

Abel turned his head back. Under the light of the magic tower, he could see Carlos holding 2 empty wine bottles, shaking unstably. Good thing he didn’t fell off his horse during the ride.

“Carlos, you drank up all the wines you were going to give to the teacher. How are you going to get your portal bag now, huh?” Camille asked with a smile.

“What portal bag, wine good, wine good!” Carlos mumbled to himself as he held up the empty bottle laughing like an idiot.

“That’s it. Carlos will not have a good time tomorrow if the teacher sees him like this,” Before Camille could even finish her sentence, a big smile had already covered her face.

Abel stepped up and helped Carlos to get off his horse. He snatched the 2 empty bottles from Carlos’s hand and threw it on the ground. With one arm holding Carlos up, Abel said to Camille “I’ll get him to his room. You can go rest first.”

Abel knocked on the big door on level 3, Carlos’s Wizard follower Page opened the door just to see a drunk Carlos, sloppy as a puddle of mud. He couldn’t help himself but called “Mr., what happened?”

“Nothing, he just drank too much. The kind of wine he drank was not harmful. He should be fine after a good night of sleep.” Said Abel as he transferred Carlos on to the hands of Page.

Abel was very confident in red wines. It would definitely not hurt the body even if you drink too much. So he only casually remained Page, before returning to his room.

Abel didn’t have the guts to go into the Rogue encampment here, so that was another night wasted. But still, the meditation session could not be missed.

Early the next morning, when Abel and Finkle were just walking towards the first floor, and they could already hear Carlos’s huge voice.

“Haha, I ranked up, I ranked up !” The ear-shattering laugh of Carlos filled the peaceful magic towers.

Camille sat far away on the other side of the table, quietly eating her breakfast.

“Abel, Finkle, I’ve ranked up.” When Carlos saw the two, he immediately ran up and gave them a hug.

Abel gently turned his body, casually dodging the hug of Carlos. However, Finkle was not as lucky. He already deep in the hug of Carlos.

“Come come, and I’ll tell you about my rank up experience. It’s good for you.” Carlos enthusiastically dragged Finkle to a seat and began to rant about how he was able to increase his rank so quickly.

“How did Carlos rank up over the night?” Abel softly asked Camille.

“When I woke up this morning, he said it was because he drank too much yesterday. He woke up in the middle of the night, realizing his mana was full, so he didn’t sleep and slept the night finish filling in the rank 4 wizard pattern.” Said Camille in a somewhat confused tone.

Abel was not surprised that Carlos could fill in a rank 4 wizard pattern in one night. He had been trying to figure that out since he became rank 3, so it should be easy for him to fill it in. But what Abel was surprised about was that Carlos said it would take months before a person could rank up after they filled in the pattern, how could he rank up just like that?

Suddenly the shadow of a human flashed in front of their eyes. Wizard Morton appeared on the first floor. They immediately stood up and bowed.

“You guys can go back to your rooms,” said Wizard Morton to the few wizard followers.

After the few wizard followers left, Wizard Morton said to Abel in the slightly dark facial expression. “I told you not to share your red wine with others. Did you forget?”

“Yes, it’s my mistake, teacher,” said Abel with his head down.

“Teacher, that…” Carlos stood up but didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.

“Carlos, speak clearly. Stop chocking on your words” Wizard Morton criticized Carlos

“Yes teacher, that red wine was not for other people, Abel gave it to me to give it to you. But halfway, as we were coming back yesterday, I wanted to taste what kind of wine do teacher you like, so I took a sip. The taste was too wonderful, so I couldn’t stop and drank all of them,” Carlos told Wizard Morton everything that happened yesterday in one breath, he could not let Abel take the blame for no reason.

“Do you think you are gifted enough to rank up a few months earlier?” Said Wizard Morton staring coldly at Carlos.

“Hehe,” Carlos scratched his head in embarrassment.

“The wine Abel gave you was made personally by himself with a secret formula. It has the ability to adjust your physical ability. You drank too much yesterday, so your body was subconsciously meditating. The red wine adjusted your physical ability and delivered all your excess mana for your meditation. If I didn’t help you find relief from it yesterday, you would already be dead from excess mana,” Wizard Morton roared at Carlos.

Carlos’s face immediately went white, he then stood up and quickly bowed and said: “thank you, teacher, for saving my life!”

“Now listen up, never mention Abel’s red wine again. Those things are very good for the body of wizards, even for high ranking wizards.” Said Wizard Morton gazing at the 3 of them.

“Yes teacher!” Camille and Carlos quickly replied.
