Abe the Wizard - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Fifth and Sixth

Even with the bloodstains on their faces, Wizard Nigel still recognized the two wizards when he saw them. Yes, both Wizard Bunker and Wizard Jallel were from the Blizzard line. They were known to be extremely obnoxious and abusive to anyone.

Right now, Wizard Nigel received a text from his identity card. It was from Wizard Lorenzo and the two wizards that have come here through the super teleportation circle.

“Oh, rats,” Wizard Nigel thought to himself, “I should’ve waited longer for the notification. If I saw this earlier, I would’ve never come here so early.”

Despite having no intention to have anything to do with the two wizards in front of him, Wizard Nigel still tried his best to give them a warm welcome.

“Wizard Bunker, Wizard Jallel, Welcome back to Holy Continent. My name is Nigel, and I am the guardian wizard of this city.”

“Alright, whatever. Just skip the crap!” Wizard Jallel was already very impatient, “Shut up and take me to the shower. Gee, thanks for the terrible management you do in this place! Don’t you just love it when someone pours blood all over you after you’ve teleported somewhere?”

Wizard Nigel didn’t take that nicely. If anything, he wanted to fight Wizard Jallel right now. He was just too scared to do it. He was only a rank below the two wizards in front of him, but the difference in strength was too much for him to try anything.

Even with Wizard Cliff gone, these two wizards were still a force to be reckoned with. Not anyone could be referred to as “battle-wizards.” Wizard Bunker and Wizard Jallel both earned the name by doing their fair bit on the battlefield.

It was why Wizard Nigel chose to lower himself, “Many apologies for the unpleasant experience. Please, follow me. I’ll arrange a shower for you two very quickly.”

Wizard Bunker stopped Wizard Jallel before he went on his rant, “Alright, sixth. We don’t have a lot of time. Let’s just go now.”

“Sure, fifth. I’ll listen to you,” Wizard Jallel nodded.

If they weren’t on the job, Wizard Bunker wouldn’t mind if Wizard Jallel was giving Wizard Nigel more trouble. Still, not only did they have something that they needed to do, they could only stay in Liante City for three days. If they went over that limit, they would have to spend many more points than they’ve already had.

Honestly, Wizard Nigel wanted to leave as well. He did have his obligations as a guardian wizard, however. Now that he was with two outsiders, he must be with them at all times before they left the city. He could leave them to someone else, but no one was going to take over his role.

Wizard Bunker demanded while wiping the blood off, “Wizard Nigel, we’re here to do some investigations on Cliff. Can you give us the right to access his info?”

“Sure,” Wizard Nigel agreed to the request, “I’ll do it right now. As Cliff’s associates, you have the legal right to look up any information on him.”

Then, after a few clicks of the button, both Wizard Bunker and Wizard Jallel gained access to research Wizard Cliff.

Before Bunker started searching, he went on to send a reminder to Wizard Nigel, “Cliff’s death has been the top news for a while now. You should know this, Wizard Nigel. The Blizzard has lost its biggest benefactor on the Holy Continent, so we must elect a new one from the Holy Continent.”

Wizard Bunker continued, “I’ll say it straightforward for you. If you help us figure out who killed Cliff, I can ask my superiors to make you our new representative.”

“I….” Wizard Nigel wasn’t sure what to say. Right now, his original lineage was already gone. Even with his current status, he didn’t have an association or group that he could rely on. That being said, he was an excellent candidate to help the Blizzard line to do their biddings.

Wizard Nigel spoke after thinking for a while, “I must thank you for making this offer, Wizard Bunker, but I don’t think that I can help you with this investigation. On this Holy Continent, I can’t think of anyone that could’ve actually killed….”

Wizard Jallel interrupted, “Hey, Fifth, can we go get something to eat first? All that travel we did is making me hungry.”

“I…”

As annoying as it was to have someone talk over you, Wizard Nigel tried to keep his temper down. He did quite like Wizard Bunker’s offer, so he decided to play the servant part just a bit longer.

Wizard Nigel changed his tone for a bit, “Oh, you’re hungry? I’ll take you two somewhere to eat, then. Don’t worry, and it’ll be all on me.”

Wizard Bunker nodded, “Good to have you work with us, Wizard Nigel. Please, lead the way for us.”

Then, they all went to “the Forgotten Land” to have their meal. While the place wasn’t open yet, a lot of the low-tier wizards were already lining up there. Eating here was practically a part of their daily lives now.

“Master Nigel!” the wizards that lined up bowed as soon as they noticed Wizard Nigel.

Wizard Nigel nodded and said, “Good to see you all here. Um, don’t stay here too much if you haven’t got much to do.”

“Oh, sure, sure! We’ll go now, Sir!”

Soon, all the wizards that were here were gone. They were afraid that the three advanced wizards would try to “cut the line” to be in front of them.

“What would you like to order, Master Nigel?” Mahler, the manager of the restaurant, quickly came and asked.

Wizard Nigel quickly shooed him away, “I want three of everything that’s on the menu. Be quick about it. I’m here to treat some significant guests!”

“Yes, Master Nigel,” Mahler bowed and left.

When Mahler went to the kitchen, he quickly came to tell Galen what happened.

“Be careful today! Master Nigel is bringing two very important guests. Don’t make any mistakes!”

Garen nodded in confidence, “Don’t worry about it, sir. It’s not our first day on the job.”

“And Fink!” Mahler called to the Fink siblings, “Be extra quick about the order! Make sure that they are all done properly!”

Then, within a few minutes, Garen and Mitch went to serve the dishes to the table.

“This smell!” Wizard Bunker said in praise as soon as the dishes were placed, “I didn’t expect to have something this good on the Holy Continent!”

Wizard Nigel smiled and explained, “This is the best restaurant in Liante City, Wizard Bunker. It might be a little small, but it’s a VIP establishment that’s built for wizards only.
