Abe the Wizard

Chapter 878: Level Three Authority Access

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Wizard Lamar had been quite busy. He left the Wizard Union building as soon as he ended his conversation with Abel. Abel was left alone at the trading spot. His crest was promoted to level three. There were also 5000 points. They were what gave him the motivation to start checking what’s available on the item checking list.

Since he was at the trading spot, he could just show his wizard crest to the counter staff. This was exactly what he did. Once the counter staff took the scanning circle over, he heard a reply quite quickly.

The counter staff said politely, “You are of level three authority access now, Master Wizard. From now on, you’ll be able to do secret trading in the carriage alone by yourself.”

Very quickly, the counter staff brought Abel to a small room that was on the side. The set-up was quite simple. There was one table, which had two spell circles and one slot on top of it.

The counter staff explained as he pointed towards the table, “Sir if you put your wizard crest inside this slot, you’ll be able to check all the items that are inside the list. If you want to trade certain items, once you’ve selected them with your power of the Will, the number of points needed will be automatically taken off. The items will then be teleported through the spell circle on the table.”

Abel realized that the counter staff didn’t seem to know him, “Um, are there many people with level three authority access?”

The counter staff bowed and replied, “Not so much in the Wizard Union, sir Wizard. It’s only given to those who have made significant contributions to the Wizard Union.”

“Thank you!” Abel quickly bowed and left the room. From what he noticed, this “gift” might just be greater than what he expected.

After putting the wizard crest into the slot on the table, a white light flashed across. A light then flashed out of the circle on the table.

“Respectable Wizard Abel, you now hold a level three authority access. The items you can trade are as followed...”

A very long item appeared in front of him. He could scroll through it with his power of the Will. The resources varied. There were gears and potions. One bottle of the “advanced wizard meditation potion,” which was supposed to increase the meditation effect of advanced wizards by 20%, was around 10 points to purchase. As for a magic staff for advanced wizards, it was around several hundred points.

The most ordinary item was the “ration potion.” It was about 0.1 point per bottle. It kind of just showed how ridiculous Abel’s reward was. His purchasing power was increased exponentially after receiving the 5000 points.

Actually, even magic towers were available on this list. While a regular rank sixteen tower was about twenty thousand points in total, the one-time reward the Wizard Union gave him was a quarter of that. It was what he was given for saving Silan City. Fighting the crusaders had always been the most rewarding mission to do inside the Wizard Union.

From inside, Abel’s seen a lot of items that he felt like he really wanted. The super mana gathering circle, for example, was a circle that was far more superior to its regular or advanced level counterparts. If properly installed, it could turn an entire region into a mana-supplying environment. It was quite expensive, actually. With a cost of ten thousand points with just three in stock, he decided that it was best to earn more points here on the central continent first. As for whether there’d be one for him to get, that was something to worry about at another time.

Still, there were quite a lot of other items that he was interested in. They were also quite expensive. The ‘bi-directional teleportation circle” was one that caught his attention. There was just one in stock, which indicated that it was an item that was only for those with level three authority access or above. He didn’t care much for the other types of teleportation circle because each one would only cost about a thousand points to install. This was different, though. It was a portable type that could be set up right away. Its mobility was where its worth shined. Even with a portal circle master’s help, it’d take at least an entire day for a regular circle to be installed. Pre-ordering was a must because the circle masters wouldn’t just be available at all times.

This “bi-directional teleportation circle” had flaws, though. It was not the type that could be connected into the Wizard Union’s teleportation circle network. He must have at least two that would allow him to travel in between. That being said, it was best for those under constant need to escape to another place, but not those who would make frequent travels to public locations. For what an “instantaneous movement” could do, this teleportation circle could do it at a much faster pace.

As for why Abel could still have the chance to buy this circle, it had to do with the wizards’ purchasing habit on the central continent. After becoming advanced wizards, the central continent’s wizards would spend all their resources on buying training materials. They were not going to spare some just to get themselves an item that would give them a little more convenience. This way, this “bi-directional teleportation circle” cost was only about four thousand in total. However, this cost would be a lot higher if this was given to those with occupations other than wizards, not that they would have the permission to use them. The druids, the priest, and the Barbarians would love to get their own “bi-directional teleportation circle,” but no wizards would want to use their points to trade materials with those, not in the same class.

Abel was kind of poor right now. He had just five thousand points, so buying the bi-directional teleportation circle would only leave him one thousand points. As far as he was concerned, though, he could always earn more points later. His current priority was to go after the Blizzard clan with this circle. He wanted a surefire way to go after them without being caught, so very quickly, he confirmed the bi-directional teleportation circle with his power of the Will.

Under a flash of white light, a circle plate appeared right on the table. He picked it up right away. There were two of them that came as one set. As long as it was within a range of five hundred meters, he could always teleport instantly after setting up either one. There was one thing about the design that he really liked. With every teleportation, the user would be teleported with the circle that he was standing on. Of course, there was also the option of keeping both circles still, which would create a waypoint that allowed stable teleportations between two locations.

After putting the “bi-directional teleportation circle” into his Valaya’s ring, Abel lost interest in looking for other items. He took the wizard crest away from the slot and left the room. The next thing he did was to do a quick check on his map. With a quick skim, he could see that the Blizzard clan was situated in the far north. If he was to “visit” them, he’d have made a stop at the Ice Crown City, which was the closest city to Frost City with about five hundred miles of distance to travel.

This time, he listened to Wizard Lamar’s instruction not to head back to his estate. He knew it was longer safe there, so he took out his invisibility cape to conceal his presence. Then, he used the Wizard Union’s teleportation circle to leave Silan City. As he couldn’t get to the Ice Crown City with the intermediate teleportation circle used inside the Silan City Wizard Union, he had no choice but to make a midway transfer in the middle of his journey. He went there, and in the middle of his stop, he activated his transformation necklace to turn himself into an elf. He put away all the wizard symbols on him. His presence became that of a druid.

The midway transfer was surprisingly cheap ever since he was given level three authority access. Actually, it was free if he was using the teleportation circle of the Wizard Union. Still, since he had to be discrete, he chose not to move directly to the Ice Crown City under the name Wizard Abel. Instead, he went out of the teleportation circle network once he reached an intermediate city that was several thousand miles away from Ice Crown City. He intended on continuing with White Cloud. After being sold out the last time, he had become more cautious about using transportation tools that would otherwise leak his whereabouts to his enemies.

He made White Cloud land outside Ice Crown City. Abel took out a druid heritage book that was titled “Nature and Neutrality- druid.” He flipped to the page with the name “summoning dire wolf” and started reading. He wanted to learn how to summon dire wolves, because now that he was in his elven form, it’d be kind of weird if he didn’t have a mount he could ride on. No, he’s never used the summon spell before. Unlike most druids, he didn’t take the time and effort to learn how to draw the necessary spell runes. He didn’t learn to communicate with the dire wolf he summoned with his power of Will. Everything just sort of came to be once he opened the world stone fragment with his spell rune.

With his hands, he used the life force he transferred from the druid spirit to illustrate the spell rune for the “summon dire wolf.” Right in its green center, his power of the Will was dropped to a unique summoning dimension. This was where countless dire wolves lived. He had to pick one that he could communicate with well. It was kind of a tedious process because not only did he have to take turns to slowly talk to each one of them to see which one was better, he’d also have to spend a lot of time sorting things out with the one that he thought he could work well with.

It was the reason why you were not supposed to let druid summoned creatures die easily. Partnership was rare, so before the summoned creatures were about to die, the druids would have them back inside the portal beast bag and try to resuscitate them with whatever resources were needed. Any amount that went into healing the original creature would be better than spending more time looking for a new one, so it seemed.

After searching for a powerful dire wolf out of all the dire wolves, Abel connected his power of the Will to it. His “summon dire wolf” spell was just level one, though, so it was not enough to attract its attention. When he realized that he couldn’t communicate with it directly, he tried injecting his dragon essence into the power of the Will. It was just a bit, but it was enough to make the dire wolf go very weak. It could even be said that it surrendered to him without even the will to resist.

The next part was quite simple. In just ten minutes, a dire wolf as white as snow appeared before him. Unlike most regular dire wolves, it lowered its head timidly as soon as it appeared. This was when Abel changed his invisibility cape to his regular druid robe. With his elven appearance, no one was ever going to see him as an elven druid.

With that, he rode the dire wolf he tamed into Ice Crown City, which was situated at the very cold far north. It was not as affluent as Silan City, but it was quite close to Frost City, where many the resources were transported to make stops. This was where many of the products that were unique to the Land of Ice Snow were sold, which was why there were always so many merchants and adventurers here.

And no, Frost City was not a real city. Rather, it was a privatized castle that was strictly owned by the Blizzard clan. The original name was Frost Castle, but given how powerful the Blizzard clan had grown to be, the number of residents increased so much that it eventually became a real city.

Having spent two intermediate gemstones, Abel bought a house inside the royalty residence district, the safest part of Ice Crown City. He was only able to get it with his druid status, by the way, because regular people had no way of buying a residence in this region no matter how rich they were.

After buying the house, he was immediately given three servants to work here for him. He didn’t fire them, but he did order them to never enter his room. He wanted to spend some time doing shutdown training inside. No, the servants didn’t say anything back. The dire wolf guarding the door was just too scary for them.

Once shutting himself inside his room, he decided to put up one of his “bi-directional teleportation circles.” From this point onward, this was where his get-to exit point would be. He thought it was necessary because after being defeated by a rank nineteen advanced wizard, he realized that there were still times where he had no choice but to run for his life. Now that there was rank twenty wizard after him, this became even more true.

Bypassing his three servants was quite easy. Even without using his spells, he managed to sneak outside the new house without them noticing. After arriving at the Ice Crown City, he summoned White Cloud again to reach a high altitude.

He wanted the central continent to know about his super explosive ball.
