Abe the Wizard

White Snow’s voice emerged from the soul chain. “This is for you, my master!”

Abel was not surprised by what White Snow had done. It was a top-ranking spiritual beast. Maybe it even had the intelligence of a normal human.

Flying Flame’s gaze was drawn to the piles of blue gem on the ground. Although it was not its favorite gem, the red gem, he still loved all shiny things.

In the past, Abel was worried that there would be a problem if he had taken too many gems out. But now he felt a little bad as an owner. Just a pile of flawless gems had made Flying Flame so excited.

“White Snow, you can keep it to yourself. I don’t need it!” Abel gave the gems back to White Snow. Not only that, but he then took out 100 perfect blue gems from his portal bag and dumped it on the ground “if you like blue gems, you can take these as well. As long as you follow me, you can have as many as you want!”

Flying Flame had almost gone blind by looking at so many perfect shiny blue gems. Its eyes were glowing. If it’s the owner was not here, it would have forcefully stolen them already.

White Snow sensed a threat, so it quickly scooped the gems into its portal bag to break away from Flying Flame’s greedy gaze.

“Flying Flame, you can have some too, but those blue gems are useless to you anyway!” Said Abel helplessly.

He then took out 100 perfect red gems from his portal bracelet and handed it to Flying Flame. Flying Flame quickly shoved them into its portal bag and ran back to its nest on the top of battle fort no.03 with its 2 little legs. It was the best place to keep its gems.

White Snow’s eyes sparkled. It also wanted a nest on battle fort no.03, but no matter how hard it pecked on the hard surface of the battle fort, he would not make a hole. After a few tries, it gave up.

“No.03, help White Snow make a nest!” Abel said.

Suddenly the seemingly impenetrable ground began to shake, and a nest for White Snow emerged. White Snow happily dumped all of its gems inside the nest and dived in to enjoy itself.

When he saw how happy White Snow and Flying Flame were, Abel couldn’t help but shake his head in laughter. He then turned and went back to his magic tower.

He took a seat at the top level and began to think about the challenge of this operation. He had signed a contract with White Snow without exposing his identity, which could dramatically boost his safety. If the orc empire had found out his real identity, a human grandmaster Blacksmith in the Orc Empire, they wouldn’t let him go back alive–by all means necessary.

Abel took out the orc tooth and that strange identity card.

Just when he was about to examine it, a warning emerged from the battle fort through that robotic voice “Master, a headmaster identity card spotted. Identity confirmed. You are now a headmaster!”

“03, you know what this identity card is?” Abel couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

He had always been very curious about this identity card due to how well preserved it was. If he didn’t have that piece of world stone as support, there was no way he would be able to open the box the identity card was in.

After hearing that the battle fort no.3 spirit confirm this identity card, he had become certain that this thing was from the same period as the battle fort.

“Master, only those with great power of a headmaster can have this identity card. As soon as the identity card has accepted you, your status will automatically become a headmaster!” Battle fort no.03 explained.

Abel could basically see how important this head master identity card was since no.03 had called it’s owner a ‘great power.’ The word ‘great’ was rarely thrown around.

You could only use the word ‘great’ to address the king or the gods. Great power probably meant someone with the same rank as a god or king, but no matter what, it still showed just how prestigious this thing was.

Someone with great power like this would definitely not lose their identity card. They would only give it to their offspring and let them inherit the status of a headmaster.

“03, what does a head master identity card do?” Abel was still a little confused.

“Master. A headmaster can control all battle machines, but it can only do so through a spirit!” 03 explained again.

“Please be more clear!” Abel still did not know what it did.

“Master, you can now rule over battle fort no.3, but you have to do so through me!” 03 replied, very seriously.

Abel was caught off guard a little. That wasn’t right. Wasn’t this the power he had all along?

Since when did battle fort no.3 gain a sense of humor?

“03, so what’s the difference between this and the power I have currently?” Abel asked again with patience.

“There is no difference in the battle fort no.3, but when you have multiple battle machines, you can control them through me as long as they are in my control range!’ 03 explained again.

Abel couldn’t help but shake his head. The control range of battle fort no.03 was so small–only a few hundred meters. It couldn’t even control machines on the ground if it was a few thousand meters above the sky.

“03, I got a map from the headmaster identity card. Do you know what it signifies?” Abel asked as he suddenly remembered the map.

“Master, Sorry. I can’t find any data. I can’t answer!”03 replied.

Abel was extremely curious. He was sure the sights in the place were built in the same period as the battle fort. Maybe he could get even more battle forts from there.

“03, open the roof of the magic tower!” Abel said as he felt the battle fort was beginning to land.

“Yes, Master!”

This magic tower was made entirely out of the strange shape-shifting material, so the battle fort 03 spirit could fully control it. Soon, the top of Abel’s magic tower had divided into 2 and slowly opened up.

When the 2 sides were fully separated, that magic tower was basically roof-less, exposing the outside’s unbearable beauty.

By this point, White Cloud had dragged the battle fort away from the highest peak and slowly heading towards a valley.

They had arrived at the orc side of Mount Budapest. The view here was completely different from the human side. All the plants and trees were small, and the place was still filled with patches of snow in September.

Weird, how come it was so cold here?

Even on the orc battlefield, he never felt like this. The temperature there was quite similar to the human world.

Abel didn’t know that since the Miracle Wall was so thick, it had stopped a lot of the warm air from the south side of the human world from entering into the orc world. Still, due to how much heat the Miracle Wall was gathering, it could still warm up the places 50 miles from the Miracle wall, where the orc battle was located.

At that moment, he was in the north of the Holy Continent divided by Mount Budapest. All the south’s heat was completely blocked, and all the cool breeze from the north was trapped. This divided these 2 parts of the Holy Continent into 2 different seasons.

Food was scarce, which made the spiritual beasts on the orcs side even more vicious. They also tend to be speedier and smaller.

As Abel stared at this completely different world, he thought about how the humans had described the orc empire: cold and deserted.

White Cloud kept dragging the battle fort 03 towards the north. They had already gone over the highest peak, so White Cloud’s job was easy again, and it began to accelerate.
