Abe the Wizard

Black Wind came back with a skull in its mouth. It was at this moment that everyone realized they seemed to forget all about their rewards. Lady Carrie quickly stepped up and took the skull. With a slice of her blade, a mercury-like crystal core appeared.

“Bennett’s work was amazing in this battle, and he had heroically saved Morrie, so I decided to give this crystal core to him. What are all of your opinions?” Lady Carrie asked, holding the crystal core.

“Agree!”

“Yes!”

“Sure!”

Other than Lady Morrie, all the other ladies agreed. She looked at her squad, feeling very embarrassed. Crystal cores were very important to everyone here, and they had to give it up because of her.

“Thanks, everyone! I’m in need of some crystal cores for my training. How about this, I’ll give you all some ‘Lotions’ and ‘Conditioners’ for comprehension!” Said Abel feeling slightly embarrassed as well.

“As long as you are willing to give us your ‘Lotions’ and ‘Conditioner,” we’ll give you all the crystal cores we can find in this adventure!” Lady Muriel yelled in excitement.

“Yes, yes, ‘Lotions’ and ‘Conditioner” are much better than crystal cores!” Lady Marian nodded and agreed.

When Abel gave each of the 5 bottles of “Lotions’ and ‘Conditioner’ even Lady Carrie began to smile. Meanwhile, all the other ladies were screaming in excitement.

“Ok, stop playing around. Let’s find a place to rest, and let Bennett absorb the crystal core’s energy!” Said Lady Carrie clapping her hands.

Since the intermediate soul beast that roamed this area had been killed, here was the safest place for now. Therefore, Lady Carrie decided to just stay here for some rest.

“Bennett, all of Druid’s safety is guaranteed in the forest when there are no open fields!” Said Lady Carrie waving her hand. Afterward, her Poison Creeper began to wrap around the big trees around them, as well as connecting it with its poisonous vines.

Although one Poison Creeper didn’t look like much, as all the ladies began to command their Poison Creepers, the place was fully covered in walls of poisonous vines. It looked very safe here. Even if the Poison Creepers were attacked, as their owners, they would know immediately.

“Bennett just left the tubes here. That spot is for you!” Said Lady Carrie pointing towards a designated area made up of some more vines as a barrier.

After Abel took out 5 large tubes of water from his Portal Bracelet, he said, “I’ll get to work, for now, then I will need to make some potions. It might take a long time, so no need to call me out for food!”

By this point none of the ladies still cared about him; they were busy dividing their tubes as well as opening up their tent.

Abel walked to his designated area. He ignited the barrier circle, as well as decorated the place with a normal tent.

He closed his eyes and focused on White Cloud’s soul chain with his power of the will. Before they set out, Abel had commanded White Cloud to watch after them from the sky. Now upon hearing Abel’s command, it had landed on the ground invisibly.

Abel jumped on the back of Black Wind. He gently tapped on its neck and connected their souls together. In a flash, Black Wind disappeared and reappeared on the back of White Cloud in a flash of white light.

If there was no Barrier Circle, Abel would definitely be spotted. The barrier circle had totally absorbed the energy wave sent out by Black Wind’s move in a flash, and the invisible shield on White Cloud also had the same ability. Just like that, Abel had left the so-called very safe camp made up by Poison Creepers without a single sound.

It had taken the Lawland Squad a day of travel, but now White Cloud was already back at Angstrom City in under an hour. The few hundred meters tall walls of the city were glowing in purple within the night, filling the city up with a sense of majesty.

You could never imagine just how alluring this city was unless you look from above the sky. The elves yearning for beauty was fully reflected on this city’s defense wall.

Abel looked down at this city, feeling a little sentimental. Maybe he would not be back here for a long time after today. This city’s grand protection circle was mostly targeted towards the ground, so the sky was still mostly looked after by the sights of guards.

White Cloud swiftly took a turn in the sky and lowered towards the city. Its invisible shield could not only hide its body, but it could also hide all of its scents.

If Abel was not so confident on White Cloud’s invisible ability, he would definitely not use such a tricky and risky way to return to Angstrom City. When White Cloud was around 10 meters from the ground, Abel jumped down, and White Cloud Immediately returned to the sky again.

Abel owned the control board of Angstrom City’s grand protection circle for sometime before, so he knew a thing or two about it. The Grand protection Circle could monitor any combat qi or magic activity in the city. The soul of the circle would first examine if the activity was an attack. If it was, it would alert the guard’s headquarters. Afterward, the officers there would decide how to deal with it.

Therefore, Abel did use his combat qi to absorb the impact as he landed. He only bent his legs the split second before he hit the ground, and almost no sound was made.

He was on Lola Road, right next to Prince Adolf’s castle. The night was the best cover, so he didn’t even bring Black Wind with him. Since his transformation necklace could only hide his own scent, it was best to enter the castle by himself anyway.

He arrived on the castle wall’s side. They were only around 10 meters tall. Abel could jump over them effortlessly. However, when he placed his hand on the wall, he felt a magic wave. He never expected Prince Adolf to be this careful, and surrounded his entire castle in a protective circle.

Now, Abel had to change his plan. As he was still thinking he suddenly heard a carriage coming towards Prince Adolf’s castle on Lola Road.

Abel quickly dashed to a side and hid amongst the woods, closely watching the carriage as it headed towards him.

It was a normal-looking carriage without any decorations. The coachman was a middle-aged elf. He seemed to be quite experienced since there was not a single sound other than the steps of the horses and the rolling of the carriage wheels.

When the carriage passed in front of Abel, he did a roll and smoothly arrived at the bottom of the carriage. He grabbed ahold of a rod under the carriage with his legs pushing outwards. His body was entirely off the ground, and not a single sound was made. Also, because of his transformation necklace, the person in the carriage was not aware in the slightest bit.

The carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Adolf’s castle, and the gate automatically swung open without any interaction like it was planned.

The moment the carriage passed through the gate, Abel felt a wave of magical energy scanned over the carriage as well as his body. However, he did not believe this transformation necklace made by the Goddess of Moon would be taken down by these normal protection circles.

The floor had turned from delicate to luxurious. By this point, Abel knew he had entered the inner courtyard. Although there was not a single sound, Abel could sense there was a guard every 10 steps.

The carriage did not stop. At last, it arrived in a garden. There was not a single guard here, Abel was certain of that. Abel’s senses towards his environment were extremely strong. Even if one single person was looking at the carriage, he would know.

This should be the safest place in the entire castle. It made sense since it was definitely not easy to pass through a castle’s protection circle and a large number of guards without being noticed. Since Prince Adolf needed some privacy as well, no guards were really necessary here. Especially after all those layers of defenses.
