Abe the Wizard

Abel had just put away his barrier circle in his room, and the moment he stepped out of his front door, he saw steward Ken running towards him. “Master, Please come outside !”

“What happened?” Abel saw that steward Ken looked very desperate, so he could only have guessed something might have happened.

“The city palace just had news. Harry castle had been attacked by a wizard!” Said steward Ken in a depressed voice.

“What? Harry castle had been attacked by a wizard? Is Uncle Marshall, ok?” Abel was shocked to his core; his voice almost broke as he asked.

“The Lord of Marshall is ok, but we lost 10 knights and 5 people were injured,” Steward Ken saw that Abel was losing it, so he quickly

replied.

After hearing uncle Marshall was ok, Abel calmed down a bit. However, it was still a pity that there were 10 knights who lost their lives. They were all old followers of the Lord of Marshall. After hearing this, Abel asked angrily, “Who’s the wizard?”

“According to the news from the city palace, when that wizard appeared, it was wearing an armor made out of ice. He then ran into Harry castle and murdered anyone he saw. The knight servants rushed up to the Wizard, sacrificing their lives. In the end, they struck off the wizard’s ice armor, and he was killed by the Lord of Marshall with one arrow.

“Duchy of Keyen, how dare you!” Abel knew where this wizard had come from now. He was one of the 15 low ranking wizards. What Duchy of Keyen had done had irritated Abel to his core. Family was the most important thing to him in this world. No matter if it was his stepfather or the knight servants that fought alongside him.

“Ken, prepare a large amount of top quality iron for me. I need it!” Abel commanded.

“Yes, Master!” Due to Abel’s prestige state, Ken was also recognized by many nobles in Bakong city. If he wanted some top quality iron, all he needed to do was to make a few calls.

“Black Wind, we’ll get back the magic tower.” Said Abel padding Black Wind.

Throughout the morning, an incident had been escalating. A low ranking Wizard had attacked the family of an intermediate wizard’s disciple. Every wizard in the Duchy of Keyen was angered by this behavior. It was no longer a situation involving a single wizard. What the Duchy of Keyen had done would trigger every single wizard. Just imagine what would happen if a wizard had murdered the entire family of another wizard.

Someone had to pay for this. Otherwise, a similar event might happen again in the future.

The elites of the Wizard Union’s headquarter in Duchy of Keyen had a meeting with their only intermediate wizard, although the outcome of the meeting was not disclosed to the public. Afterward, the family of that low ranking wizard who attacked Harry castle was whipped out from the face of the world by that intermediate wizard from the Duchy of Keyen.

“Abel, It seems like you are the target of that 15 low ranking wizard. That’s my mistake. At the time I did not consider the Duchy of Keyen’s revenge when I submitted your good work to the Wizard Union. This might be the key reason why they are coming after you,” Said Wizard Morton in a somewhat guilty tone.

“Teacher, don’t say that. You are very good to me.” Abel quickly followed.

“those low ranking wizards were decided into 3 teams. The first 2 teams were responsible for attacking our resources, but their actual goal was to lure you to come out. The last team was for support. Luckily your mount is fast. Else you would be facing not 1 but 2 teams of low ranking wizards. The second team had a bad day. They ran into Carlos and Camille, so they all got slaughtered.” Wizard Morton analyzed.

“Teacher, you are right. Now, as I think about that, I do seem like the actual target of those low ranking wizards,” Said Abel nodding his head.

“The worse part was that they organized a rank 3 wizard to attack Harry castle. Those Duchy of Keyen bastards, always come up with cheap tactics like this. Every time we Duchy of Carmel has a good seed, they will try to destroy it.” Wizard Morton angrily exclaimed.

“The wizards from the Duchy of Keyen had done something similar in the past?” Asked Abel, looking at Wizard Morton.

“Yeah, Wizard Yveline was exactly attacked by the wizards from the Duchy of Keyen. He was badly injured in that attack, and that’s why he’s been stuck as a beginner wizard.” sighed Wizard Morton.

Abel couldn’t help himself. He clenched his fist until his joints started cracking. Abel was very surprised at the time he saw the young appearance of Wizard Yveline. Wizard Yveline was a genius as well, how come he had been stuck as an intermediate wizard for all these years? Now Abel knew the answer.

“Abel, give me your wizard badge!” Said Wizard Morton.

Abel confusingly placed his wizard badge in the hand of Wizard Morton. Wizard Morton gently tapped his own wizard badge on Abel’s wizard badge, and hand it back to Abel.

“Abel, the reward for the Worgen’s deity had arrived. I had just transferred 1500 credit points to your wizard badge.

“Thank you, teacher!” Said Abel. Finally, he heard good news today.

“I contacted Wizard Johnson. The Duchy of Keyen had agreed to repay the victims and promised things like this will never happen again in the future. That should be an end to this,” Said Wizard Morton helplessly. Although his disciple standing looked calm on the surface, Abel actually felt like he was about to explode like a volcano every second deep within.

“Yes, teacher,” Abel sounded very monotone. It was like he doesn’t care about this outcome at all.

“Let’s go have a rest today. Don’t think too much. We can only guess at this point. This event might be a rare incident.” Said Wizard Morton.

Abel left the room of Wizard Morton. He felt anger burning inside him, did the Duchy of Keyen really think a little bit of money could fix this?

As Abel was walking down the stairs, he ran into Carlos. Carlos stepped up and asked, “Junior brother, I heard your family’s castle had been attacked. Are you ok?”

“I’m ok, the Duchy of Keyen had solved this situation peacefully.” Said Abel in a stale voice.

“That’s great. Next time we’ll teach the Duchy of Keyen a good lesson.” Said Carlos viciously.

“Thanks, Carlos, I’ll get going now.” Abel forced a smile and said goodbye to Carlos.

Black Wind had been lying outside of the magic tower throughout all this time. Everyone knew this was Abel’s Mount, so no one was dared to disturb it. When it heard it’s owner coming out, it immediately jumped up and ran towards Abel.

“Black Wind, go!”

Abel did not go home. Instead, he speeded out the city. In a deserted little hill a few hundred miles beyond the city, White Cloud had swooped down from the sky to welcome them.

“Long time no see, White Cloud!” Abel’s mood had immediately lightened up when he saw White Cloud. Black Wind, White Cloud, and Him were like family members.

This time he found White Cloud was to see if he could increase its rank. White Cloud was not a predator, but it had an enormous body. That was a clear reflection that it stood at the top of the beast’s hierarchy. On top of its flying ability, even a soul beast would not attack it for no reason.

“Goo goo goo!” White Cloud rubbed its enormous against Abel’s chest. It seemed like it was expressing how it was missing him.

“I brought you some good stuff today!” Said Abel lightly padding White Cloud’s feather.

White Cloud didn’t seem to understand what the word ‘good stuff’ means, but it knew it’s owner was good to him, so he began to “goo goo” again.

Abel took out a dark gold colored ‘soul potion’ from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag. That was exactly what he was going to give White Cloud today. He had neglected White Cloud way too much. He always just left White Cloud alone to find food by itself, and only call it when he needed it.

White Cloud widened its eyes and fixed at the ‘soul potion’. The ‘soul potion’ had deeply attracted it, it couldn’t help itself but made some more “goo goo” sound. It seemed like he was asking its owner to give it to it quicker.

Abel twisted open the lip of the ‘soul potion’ and poured it into White Cloud’s mouth.

The moment when all the ‘soul potion’ was poured into White Cloud’s mouth, it closed its eyes and lay motionless on the floor. The feather on its body flashed in quick sparkles. It was not glowing. Instead, the light reflected on its body would sometimes disappear and appear again. It was also almost like parts of White Cloud’s body had become transparent or a moment with each flash. Not only it’s feather but the body under the feather as well.
