Abe the Wizard - Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Mount Wolf Trainer

After having dinner with Loraine, Abel was preparing to go to the bedroom to help Black Wind with its mount enhancement technique. Steward Ken approached him.

“Master, the trainer for Black Wind has been waiting for you. Would you like to see him now?” He asked, bowing towards Abel.

“Bring him to the guest lounge, and I’ll see him there.” Abel turned and began walking towards the guest’s lounge.

Abe had just sat down in the guest lounge drinking some juice when Ken came in with a big, burly man.

“Master, this is trainer Marcy.” Ken introduced Abel then quickly stepped aside.

“Mr. Marcy, thank you for coming by.” Abel stood up and bowed slightly.

“Dear Baron Abel, I am at your service!” Said Marcy.

“Ken said that you’re experienced in training mount wolves?” Abel asked curiously, looking at the eye-catching Wolf claw scar on Marcy’s face.

“Yes, Baron Abel. I was taken into slavery by the orcs for more than ten years, and I have been involved in the training of several Mount wolves for the wolf riders in the Orc empire!” Marcy explained to Abel, making no secret of his past.

Mount wolves were extremely rare in the human world, so when Abel heard about Marcy’s past experience, he was glad to know that there was a trainer with such experience in training mount wolves.

“Ken, get Black Wind over here, and show Mr. Marcy!” Abel spoke towards Ken, then turned to Marcy with a smile and said, “My Black Wind has never been systematically trained because of his lack of experience. He’s a very playful nature. He loves to play around wildly too.”

“Baron Abel, these mount wolves are very playful when they’re young. But with proper training, they can be battle-effective within three months.” Marcy said confidently.

“Whooo!” like a black bolt of lightning, Black Wind rushed inside the guest lounge through the door. Within split seconds, he was already beside Abel, rubbing his head against his body.

“Black Wind, sit down properly,” Abel ordered with a gentle tone. Black Wind then immediately sat on the ground obediently, but his head kept moving around restlessly.

“How old is this mount wolf, Baron Abel?” Marcy asked Abel, looking hesitantly at Black Wind.

“About three months,” Abel replied.

“My supreme-ruler, your Black Wind is even stronger than mount wolves that were 6 months old. I couldn’t even tell his age for a moment, I’ve just never seen such strength at such age.” Marcy exclaimed

When Abel heard this, he couldn’t help himself but asked calmly, “Since you’ve been in the Orc empire for many years. Have you heard about a technique known as “Mount enhancement”?”

Marcy’s face seemed like he had remembered something, a moment later, he said firmly, “the honorable baron Abel, I have never heard of the “mount enhancement” technique. The Orc empire is very different from the human world. The more powerful the technique is, the more simple and direct its name would be. So according to my interpretations, your so called “Mount enhancement” would probably be a secret technique.

Abel recalled the wolf raider where he killed and took Black Wind from. Although he had a “Mount enhancement” technique with him. His mount wolf was pretty much the same as any other mount wolf. But the use and reasons are still unknown, as the wolf rider died before he was able to use it.

Back then, Simon attained the “mount enhancement” technique sign during one of his adventures. After the death of nearly all of his companions in the adventure, he was found an orc’s technique sign in an abandoned shrine that was filled with hidden dangers. However, the technique sign didn’t include any instructions which meant Simon wasn’t able to use it.

Simon believed that orc’s technique sign must’ve been extremely precious since he had paid such a high price of losing most of his companions. So even if he didn’t know how to use it, he wanted to trade it for a large sum of wealth. But, his status was way too low. This meant if he traded with other orcs, he would’ve been ripped off or scammed. This was why he wanted to trade it away after he came back from the trial of death, as he would’ve had a much higher status to trade by then.

Although Simon knew that orc skill cards were very valuable, because his family was small and none of them could become a Wolf rider, he had to carry the “Mount enhancement” skill card with him, which ultimately became Abel’s.

Marcy knew by this time that the young Baron in front of him must’ve possessed a “Mount enhancement” technique sign which would make his mount wolf extremely powerful. As Abel had told him about this classified information, he couldn’t help but be shocked as he didn’t know what this young Baron would do with him afterward.

“Mr. Marcy, I will let you take care of Black Wind. You can train it during the day, and I will come back every evening to perform Black Wind’s “mount enhancement”. Do you have any specific requirements for the payment for this job?” Abel did not hide anything from Marcy, because even if he hid it now, he would still find out about it after a few months of working with Black Wind, so might as well let him know now.

Abel had been very secretive with keeping the orc technique sign in fear of the noble arbitral tribunal or people from the shrine temple in condemning him. But he was no longer the old Abel. He no longer had to fear these small things due to his high status as a Baron now.

“Baron Abel, I would like to join the Abel family to become a trainer within your family.” Marcy made up his mind as a trainer in your family.” Marcy made up his mind after a moment of groaning.

“You don’t need to do that, Mr. Marcy. Orc skills may be troublesome to others, but they are nothing to me, and you may rest assured that it would not cause any loss of dignity for you on the pretext of secrecy.” Abel smiled as he understood clearly what’s on Marcy’s mind.

After hearing Abel talk about a volatile subject so calmly, Marcy was reassured by his choice. With a young Baron full of confidence, his family would continue to increase their strength within society. If he joined a family like this, he would’ve had his safety guaranteed for the rest of his life. All his life, he had worked extremely hard. With a few near misses in death, he was certain that he wanted a safer lifestyle.

“Master Abel, I’m sure that I want to join the Abel family!” Marcy had changed the way he calls Abel as he said firmly.

“All right, then you’ll be the professional trainer for the Abel family.” Abel nodded, then turned to steward Ken and said, “Ken, prepare 5000 gold coins for Marcy for his training fees for Black wind and also make arrangements for her family in terms of residency.”

“Thank you, master! Marcy bowed.

‘Yes, master!” Ken bowed too.

“All right, if there’s nothing else, you are all dismissed. I’m going to help Black Wind now.

Abel said, waving his goodbyes to both Ken and Marcy.

In noble’s etiquettes. There were different ways to address a person, although the differences were small, they were quite delicate. If the person you are addressing had a certain status you just address them with something that showed respect and distance. If someone was closer to you, you could address them less formally to reflect your closer relationship

Abel was also very satisfied. Marcy’s experience would allow Black Wind to receive the same training that was in the Orc empire. Looking at the somewhat confused Black Wind on the side, it didn’t realize that its relaxation period is coming to an end and the training would start soon. Abel then softly padded Black Wind’s head and took it back to his bedroom for “mount enhancement”.

At the end of the “mount enhancement”, Abel returned Black Wind to Ken, who had come to deliver 10 days of food for Abel. Ken now had to take Black Wind to Marcy. Starting from today, Black Wind was to live and train like any other mount wolves that were in the Orc empire.

After Ken and Black wind were sent away, Abel put Ken’s food for the 10 days into a personal locker. If the food were left outside, the meat, cakes, milk and other food would’ve all went bad in a few days. Fortunately, there was now a personal locker, which has enough storage space for Abel to store 10 days worth of food.

Abel then closed the doors and Windows, used his magic to open the scroll of Town Portal, and the wonderful rippling portal appeared. He then traveled through the portal as he had once again arrived in Rogue encampment.

The rogue encampment was quiet as usual. Other than the sound of the water and the wind, was the same white tent that stood there. The only thing standing between the sky and the ground was Abel.

Afterward, Abel took out his hourglass and laid it on the ground for the first day of his basic wizard meditation practice. It seemed that this environment was more conducive to meditation. At the very beginning, he had already entered the back of his mind, and the magic began to be drawn into the pattern of the rank 1 wizard.
