Abe the Wizard

Chapter 855: Exchange

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Elite Holy Knight Menkin sped forward in chaos towards the portal door with 20 holy knights following behind. He let the 20 holy knights enter before him as he turned and said his last words to Abel. Afterward, he disappeared with the portal door in a flash of blue light.

“Wizard Abel, all thanks to you, the city did not take a big hit!” WIzard Lamar arrived at Abel’s side and said, He looked beat up, but his face was full of smiles.

“Wizard Lamar, I’m confused. Doesn’t Sland City have any guardian wizards?” Abel did not care about the glory.

Take Onneu City, for example. Other than the 2 elite wizards guarding the super teleportation circle, a beginner wizard was on guard.

This large city should have guardian wizards as well. If he didn’t have a conflict, the blizzards’ Elite Wizard Godwin and other 5 elite wizards in the wizard union, law enforcement WIzard Lamar and Wizard Chapman would not come to investigate.

Also, the entire Sland City would also fell into the hands of Holy Knights.

“We are investigating this as well. There was a wizard trading event nearby, and all the elite wizards of Sland City had joined!” Wizard Lamar lowered his voice and added in a cold laugh, “What a coincidence. Sland City was almost defenseless, and the evil knights decide to invade!”

Abel couldn’t help but shake his head. No matter which Continent, there would be people trading their morals for benefits.

“Wizard Abel, I will let the wizard union know about your contribution to Sland City today. You will be rewarded accordingly!” Wizard Lamar put a smile on his face again.

“Wizard Lamar, the bravery you’ve shown just then is more admirable!” Abel also smiled.

Abel knew it was not the time to claim the credit. A lot of people saw what he did anyway. His rewards were set in stone. Making a new friend with a few worlds was not a bad idea.

“Wizard Abel, this the way to contact me!” Wizard Lamar ignited his wizard badge and sent a message to Abel’s wizard badge. He then smiled and bowed. “You can contact me through any wizard union branch quarter. We will go back to report what happened here first. Goodbye!”

Abel watched as the 2 red-cloaked law enforcement wizards disappeared from the gate of the wizard union. Afterward scanned the message in his wizard badge with his power of the will. It was a bunch of symbols. If he wanted to contact Wizard Lamar, all he needed to do was to go to the teleportation circle and ignite those symbols from his badge.

Just like that, Abel had made another friend in the Central Continent. He then returned to Johnson.

Its body transformed into human form upon seeing Abel. However, this transformation brought about waves of ear-piercing grinding noise. It was the sound of damaged iron balls scratching against each other.

Johnson was looking very beat up. A third of his iron balls were damaged, and most of them were no longer usable. They were all made by Abel’s condensed iron, so you could just guess how powerful those elite Holy knights were.

However, Abel knew those damage did not mean much to Johnson. Its most important area was its head. His head was well preserved in the iron monster. Unless someone attacked the iron monster and destroyed its iron head, Johnson would be good as new after swapping out those damaged iron balls.

Out of a sudden, a priest with giant horns arrived by the said of Abel and quickly stepped up. “Wizard Abel, Johnson is hurting bad, let me have a look!”

“Mr priest, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t think Johnson is hurting too bad!” Abel gazed over and rejected him.

He knew what the priest wanted to do. Although the Taurens were known for their honesty, Abel could see the cunningness in his dried-up eyes.

Ever since he realized there was an iron monster in Johnson, he wanted to know more about what Johnson is made up of.

“Too bad, I just wanted to learn!” The priest with a giant horn looked over at Johnson feeling a little sorry.

“Sir Priest, how come the skeletons you summon are different from the ones I saw in the Holy Continent?” Abel asked bluntly.

“Ah, you came from the Holy Continent?” The priest gazed back at Abel. He didn’t believe such a powerful wizard had come from a branch Continent. He then added, “There are many branches of Priests. The Central Continent has preserved the most original one, and the other Continents branched out!”

“How come the one in the Central Continent is the most original?” Abel asked out of curiosity.

“Because the original branch is proven to be the most truthful, so of course it would be the one practice by the Central Continent!” Said the priest like it was common sense.

“I don’t understand, then why do the other continents branch out?” Abel asked again.

“For testing. Take the skeleton resurrection spell, for example. The original ones have to slowly practice from simple to advanced, but the altered version can preserve some original one’s power without doing so. All the priests went crazy when this was first discovered!” The priest made an exaggerated hand gesture and said.

“But the priests up above didn’t want the altered version to be studied in the Central Continent because it is untruthful to the tradition!’ The priest said, pointing towards the Sky.

“Aren’t the priests in the Central Continent worried about bad altered versions from branch continents?” Abel couldn’t help but ask.

“If they don’t test it out, how do we know which ones are usable and which ones are damaging to our tradition?” The priest said with a laugh.

Abel began to doubt if death qi had an effect on the personality of priests. Although the Central Continent ones were not as bad-tempered as the Holy Continent ones, they were not nice either.

“Wizard Abel. How did you escape from the frost slow down?” The priest asked.

He couldn’t understand how Abel could flash away after being slowed down. He had chosen the best time to save Abel. Saving someone from the most dangerous moment was the best way to maximize favor return.

Just think about it, helping someone and saving their life was night and day.

“I have my ways!” Abel smiled as he took out a melting potion from his portal bag.

“This is?” The priest gazed at the yellow potion on Abel’s hand; he had never seen a potion of this color before.

“This is a melting potion. It can immediately melt any frost and create an ice resistance in a short period of time!” Abel smiled and explained.

It was one of the few potions from the Dark World that Abel could take out. Its effect was not that logic-defying and bad at the same time.

“Wizard Abel, can you sell me this potion?” The priest asked with desire.

The frost slow down was one of the scariest things about Holy Knights. It could determine the outcome of a fight. It would be a lifesaver if he could escape from a frost slow down.

“You know, lifesavers are not cheap. What are you willing to give in exchange?” Abel asked. He knew a lot about the wealth of priests.

“Wizard Abel, don’t think about those 38 light gems I’ve just got!” The priest held his portal gear tight and said with a certain look. “Those light gems are mine. I need them to exchange training resources!”

Abel almost wanted to kick this priest as he looked at him. He had only gotten those gems because Abel had burned half of the life of those nights away.

“I don’t need your gems. Do you have a full set of priest skills inheritance? If you do, I can give you 2 bottles in exchange!” Abel shook his head.

“What do you need a priest skill inheritance for? Are attracted by our great occupation?” The priest asked with his eyes wide open.

“I just want to have a look, so trade or no trade?” Abel smiled.

Of course, Abel would not tell him the truth. He already had a full set of priest skills inheritance from the Holy Continent, but he didn’t know how much they were altered. Some of the methods it used were so disgusting even Abel didn’t want to learn them.

Therefore he had been trying to revive the skills back to their original form. However, it would take Abel a lot of time and effort to revive those advanced ones, so it might be easier to just ask this priest.

“Wizard Abel, do you know how important my inheritance is?” The priest’s face sank and lowered his voice.

Just when Abel thought the priest had rejected him, the priest added.

“I won’t give you my inheritance with 4 bottles at least!” The priest said with confidence.

Abel almost cringed. This exchange was reasonable from a priest’s perspective, but you could get an unaltered priest inheritance from any priest.

As long Abel didn’t demand a personally altered version, he could get it from any priest in the Central Continent. They were all the same.

Altered skills, on the other hand, were what made them special. It was where the true value lies.

“Ok, whatever!” Abel took out 4 melting potions and held them forward.

The priest then took out a lambskin book from his portal object. Before he handed it to Abel, he edited something with his pen.

However, when he reached for the potions, Abel did not let go.

“Why did you edit it, is there any problem?” Abel asked in suspicion.

“Oh, I’m sorry, wizard Abel. I was afraid that people would steal this inheritance, so I added some extra stuff to it. Whoever got their hands on it would explode in a bang. What I just did was defusing it!” The priest quickly explained.

The priest really wanted to trade with Abel, so he didn’t want to give Abel a problematic inheritance, but his explanation was a lie. What he actually did was edit the experience he had with altered spells.

That information could not be explored, so he edited it out.

Abel let loose and gave the potions to the priest. The trade was complete.

Suddenly, Abel felt surrounded. Wizard Godwin and the 4 elite wizards from the blizzards had rounded him up as he was speaking with the priest.

“Wizard Abel, it seems like your friends are here. I’ll go first!” The priest said in a flash. He knew something was wrong.

He then made a hand gesture suggesting he was not close to Abel and started to walk away. He let out a breath of relief when he was out of the surroundings of those elite wizards. Before he went off, he looked back at Abel and wished him luck.

“Wizard Abel, there are no giant protection circles in this city. I want to see how you can escape this time!” Wizard Godwin said furiously.

He did not make a move immediately. Instead, he ignited all the energy in his Wizard core. He wanted to surpass Abel’s rank 16 wizard core with his rank 18 wizard core.

At the same time, his power of the will formed a web and wrapped around Abel.

This was a common and effective attack method high-rank wizards did to their inferior.

He knew Abel’s wizard core was not easy to suppress from his last attempt, so he brought 4 rank 17 wizards with him this time.

5 elite wizards unleashed their wizard core energy towards Abel. However, Abel remained still. His wizard core was beyond the laws of this world. If he did not escape to the Dark World from the punishment of this world during his level up, he would have already died.
