Abe the Wizard

The fatigue came through after days of continuous battle. Although there were quite a few flavors you could choose from hunger potion, both Abel and Black Wind grew disgusted by it after eating it every day. However, since that was the only thing they were consuming, it was not like they had a desire for other food anyway, especially after eating the Blue Howling rabbit.

“Let’s go!” Said Abel stared at the cave in front. He no longer wanted to go deeper. He just wanted to go back to his mansion in Lambe road and have a good rest. He had recorded this spot anyway.

Abel packed up all the stuff, and just when he opened the Scroll of Town Portal, he was blocked by Black Wind. Soon, he realized why.

“You want to run back to the Rogue encampment?” Abel asked with surprise. It was a few days worth of distance from here, but looking at Black Wind’s face, Abel couldn’t help but laugh and gave it a little pad. He then put the scroll away and shouted: “Black Wind, now run like the wind!”

Black Wind viciously dashed out, and Abel was immediately bombarded with immense wind. If he hadn’t lowered his body fast enough, he would be directly knocked to the ground. Then he would be the first commander to fall from his own mount, something that would make all knights speechless.

A set of gold combat qi armor appeared on Abel, and it slowly shifted to fit the shape of a leaning body on the back on Black Wind. Therefore, they could be more aerodynamic.

The armor cut through the air, allowing Abel to see his surroundings. This was just like sitting on the back of White Cloud. The grass on the ground was now speeding behind like the clouds in the sky.

In this almost suffocating atmosphere, Abel went through a few day’s worths of the distance back to the Rogue encampment by noon. It seemed like Black Wind enjoyed this speed a lot. Although it was drenched in sweat after such a distance, it didn’t feel tired at all.

A mount wolf was already the best mount in the Holy Continent. They were kings when it came to speed and flexibility. Although some mounts were faster than mount wolves, they were not as flexible. Some were more flexible but not as fast. However, by this point, Abel was sure not beings in the Holy Continent were faster Black Wind.

Black Wind’s speed had exceeded the limit of all normal and natural beings. It was a spell endowment, a technique used in hell to help their servants enchant their speed. With Black Wind’s increase in speed, his commander’s striking power, and his powerful magic weapons, Abel was confident that he could penetrate the defense of an official wizard during close body attacks.

Back in Angstorm, Abel and Black Wind stepped out of the portal door into his mansion in Lambe road. After he had a good clean, he opened the defense and barrier circle. Ling ling… after a while, steward Brewer had arrived at his master’s floor.

“Master, you are back!” he said with a glimpse of the excitement.

“What’s up?” Abel asked

“Countess Carrie had delivered 6 young blue howling rabbits and an old elf breeder. She said she’d give you her part of the exchange first!” Brewer replied.

Ever since Countess Carrie delivered 6 young blue howling rabbits here yesterday, he’d been stressing about it. Luckily the old elf was experienced in breeding and brought some grass here, but it didn’t last for long. Right in the morning, the 6 young blue howling rabbits were not feeling well. There was a chance they might not even make it until tonight.

“It must be Old Mund, invite him here!” It was odd that Countess Carrie had delivered those blue howling rabbits. Abel had not even agreed to her conditions, so why would she do that? Unbelievable.

The thing Abel did not know was that when Grand Duke Edwina sent some elves to find blue howling rabbits, some actually brought 6 young ones back. It was at that same time, Abel raised the idea of raising blue howling rabbits. Therefore countess Carrie brought them back and let Old Mund take care of it.

However, soon countess Carrie got the news that these young blue howling rabbits were a lot more demanding than the mature ones. Since the Grand Ducal palace had not bred them for a long time, they did not have enough potions and the environment they required to grow. All of a sudden, Countess Carrie didn’t know what to do, so she just sent everything, including Old Mund to Abel’s place first as a down payment. Even if one had died, she would just need to send another one over. It was better to let Abel get used to breeding blue howling rabbits in his place earlier anyway.

“Master!” Old Mund quickly arrived and bowed.

“Old Mund, what did countess Carrie want?” Said Abel staring at the slightly nervous Old Mund.

“Master, Countess Carrie allowed me to stay in your mansion. From now on, I would breed the blue howling rabbits, garden, and anything you want me to do!” Said Old Mund nervously.

Old Mund’s voice was filled with confusion about the future. He had been ordered to a lord’s palace from the Grand Ducal palace all of a sudden, and he did not know a single thing about how this lord treated his servants.

“Can these blue howling rabbits that you brought survive?” Abel asked.

“Master, most likely not!” After a bit of hesitation, Old Mund still decided to tell the truth.

“Why?” Abel asked. He was a little confused since he knew Old Mund was an experienced breeder.

“Blue howling rabbits need to eat mana grown grass ever since birth. The ones that had been brought back from the place where those blue howling rabbits were captured are too old. They can no longer be eaten. These young blue howling rabbits are too weak. If they continue to starve, they might not be able to survive much longer!” Said old Mund with a low soft voice.

“Tell me how to breed blue howling rabbits back in the day.” Abel was not worried about the mana grown grass. He could get as much as he wanted. He was only worried about the process of breeding.

“Blue howling rabbits are very timid and sensitive creatures. They are very picky when it comes to the environment, so you have to use a mana gathering circle to create a mana concentration environment. Every blue howling rabbit needs to be separated from each other far away, or use a sound blocking cage. The temperature needs to keep around the temperature of spring to summer. The longer grass is preferred, so it was better to use an intermediate mana gathering circle to grow it. If not, there might be a chance the grass will run out and affect the growth of the blue howling rabbit.” Said Old Mund. He told Abel everything, without holding a single thing back.

“Old Mund, give those 6 howling rabbits you brought back to me. I’ll take care of them!” Abel gave a little nod. After hearing Old Mund’s basic introduction, he could roughly understand why those blue howling rabbits were so hard to breed. A mana gathering circle would take up a lot of energy, especially intermediate ones. This expenditure was not a person with normal gold coins could sustain; you would need a mana gem mine to do that.

No wonder why the elves banned this wonderful food. If they spent all their mana gems on satisfying their taste buds, they would no longer have any more resources for the Druids. The elves understood the significance of losing military power

After a short while, Old Mund and 2 servants entered their owner’s hall holding 6 wooden boxes.

“Master, the 6 blue howling rabbits are here!” Said Old Mund gently as he placed the 6 wooden boxes on the ground gently.

“Old Mund, you are now my man. If you need anything, just ask steward Brewer. Brewer, organize accommodations for Old Mund. If he had any demands, try your best to satisfy it.” Afterward, Abel waved his hand and sent the 2 men off.

After the few elves bowed and left the hall, Abel picked up one of the wooden boxes on the ground. There were some simple magic patterns on top of the box, and it was equipped with an intermediate mana gem. This was a noise-canceling pattern; he had seen it in some luxurious shops before. He never thought he would see one of them on the box of a single blue howling rabbit.
