Chapter 200 - Hide Away

Abel’s red wine was very good for wizards, especially high ranking ones. As they got older, their body could no longer take up as much damage from the mana. This was a big challenge for a resigned wizards if they wanted to progress to the next step. Wizard Morton’s teacher was exactly stuck at this step, so Wizard Morton had hesitated for a long time as a disciple. At last he decided to send his teach 2 bottles of these wine, but he did not told him were he had got them from.

Although Wizard Morton had blamed himself a little for this coincidence, he was also very confident about his teacher. As long as his teacher could rank up, everything would turn out fine.

Wizard Morton flashed out of his room. He thought to himself in his heart that Abel needed to go hideaway for a bit.

On the 9th floor, Abel was focusing on carving a crystal core. On the crystal core, there was a rune drawn with ink using the ‘Akara rune pen.’ This way, Abel could carve it out faster and more efficiently.

Suddenly Abel felt his heart dropped. He sensed he was in big trouble. Since his power of the will had increased, his alertness had also grown far beyond other elite knights of the same rank.

Weird, there was no way he could possibly be spotted during his attack on the Duchy of Keyen. Luckily, his intuition told him he was not in a life-threatening situation, just big trouble.

Actually, Abel had already come back yesterday. But since Black Wind had exhausted itself by overusing the ‘move in a flash,’ he was forced to spend a night on a mountain within the Duchy of Carmel.

As Abel was thinking, a white light flashed. Wizard Morton appeared in his room. Almost at the same time, an armor made out of ice appeared on Abel.

“Teacher!” Abel quickly dropped his stuff when he saw his Wizard Morton, as he stood up and bowed.

This was the first time Wizard Morton had appeared in Abel’s room like this. Although it would make his disciples feel like they did not have any privacy at all, today was a desperate situation.

Abel was so scared he almost jumped. Since Wizard Morton was the owner of the magic tower, his ‘move in a flash’ was extremely fast around here. However, Abel had put on his ‘frozen armor’ just as fast, and that was scary. If he could further rank up this speed, no one would be able to attack Abel off guard.

Not only that, but the ‘frozen armor’ would unleash automatically by his weak little soul when it felt something wrong.

After drinking 8 bottles of ‘soul potions,’ his weak little soul’s power of the will had increased a little. This allowed it to form a thin 27 meters thread with its power of the will. Since this thread was so small, he couldn’t do much actual thing with it other than using it to detect threats 27meters from him throughout the entire day.

No matter how powerful a normal Wizard’s power of the will was, they could not continuously use it to detect threats throughout the day. The weak little soul was different. It didn’t need to rest, so it could focus and repeat the same thing over and over.

When the weak little soul sensed a threat nearby, it would automatically ignite the ‘frozen armor’ in the Horadric cube’s skill tree through another power of the will thread.

Wizard Morton had already gotten used to this disciple’s weird behavior. He thought that Abel must have found another Wizard’s inheritance. Like the ‘spirit transfer’ ability, for example. Only an official wizard could do a ‘spirit transfer,’ so that magic cane came from an official wizard. Although ‘spirit transfer’ was not a powerful attack spell, it could still break other people’s spells, which was quite useful.

Abel had given 2 ‘fireball’ magic canes to Abel gave Camille and Carlos. Therefore there was a big chance this Wizard’s heritage was skilled in making magic canes, and Abel just added a ‘fireball’ spell to it as a sample.

Now, Wizard Morton was more certain about this idea as Abel had unleashed a quicken ‘frozen armor’.

Luckily Wizard Morton was old, so he wasn’t too interested in some other Wizard’s inheritance. However, if it was a younger wizard, he might force Abel to give out the inheritance.

“Abel, you did the thing in Duchy of Keyen, right?” Said Wizard Morton fixing his gaze on Abel.

“Teacher...” Abel didn’t know what to say. He cared about his teacher a lot and didn’t want to lie to him.

Seeing the look on Abel’s face, Wizard Morton didn’t really need an answer. This disciple had more guts than anyone, he thought to himself.

“Teacher, how do you know?” Abel said with a shy voice

“Johnson just send me a message. The Wizard Union’s elite in the Kingdom of St. Ellis just passed down an order, you had used your power as a Blacksmith Master to attack the Duchy of Keyen. Some red shirt prosecutor wizard will be looking for you.” Said Wizard Morton with a serious look.

“What evidence do they have?” Abel said with irritation. Although he had committed the act, he did not show any trace of his super exploding balls, nor the way he got there.

He just developed his super exploding ball, and he never used it before, so no one would know.

White Cloud could become invisible since it ranked up, so no one would know Abel had been to the Duchy of Keyen as well.

Did he miss something? Was he not cautious enough? Abel’s heart was filled with questions.

“No evidence. The investigation department’s elite wizard, Mr. Cliff, wants to make you a scapegoat, so this buzz can die down. What you have done in the Duchy of Keyen had frightened a lot of wizards,” Said Wizard Morton, helplessly shaking his head.

“How’s that even possible?” Abel asked with his eyes wide open.

“Simple, because my teacher had shut himself up, trying to increase his rank. Mr. Cliff thinks that my teacher will die in the process, that’s why he is acting so carelessly,” Said Wizard Morton with a cold laugh.

“Teacher, what should I do?” Abel could not guess in the thousand years; the Wizard Union would be this unreasonable.

“Don’t worry, just go hide for a bit. My teacher will come out after 2 or 3 months, and things will be fine.” Wizard Morton said calmly.

“Will my family be affected?” Abel was still worried. Not about himself, since he could escape any time with White Cloud’s amazing ability.

“I’ll take care of it. I’ll spread the words to make sure the wizards won’t target your family, and no one in the Duchy of Carmel will attack my disciple’s asset.” Wizard Morton further emphasized his tone.

“Thank you, teacher!” Abel was deeply touched since this whole thing was caused by his intuition. This also had to do with Abel’s personality. If you were good to him, he would repay you by few times. If you messed with him, you would be waiting for his revenge. However, this revenge hungry personality had backfired on him.

“Take this,” Said Wizard Morton as he took out a magic circle board and handed it to Abel. Afterward, he proceeded to say, “this is a communication circle. Check up with me form time to time, and I’ll let you know when things have settled, and you can come back.”

“Thank you, Teacher!” Abel held the communication circle in his hand. It was made entirely out of some black colored wood. Its surface was filled with tightly drown magic patterns, and in the middle, there was an indent gap.
