Abe the Wizard - Chapter 713

To this day, Harvest City was still considered a part of the Duchy of Carmel. However, due to the tension between Abel and the George Family and Abel’s support from the Kingdom of St Ellis, Harvest City had full autonomy, and it could not be taxed.

But if another Duchy had taken advantage of this situation and threatened the Duchy of Carmel’s sovereignty, this dynamic might change.

This was not a good thing for Harvest City, but due to the lack of information, both The Lord of Marshall and Abel could not make an accurate prediction of what might happen next.

“Uncle Marshall, I’ll take a trip to Bakong City to see what is going on!” Abel hesitated.

He had now reached the bottleneck of his training. No matter how hard he mediated, he could not even increase a tiny bit of his magic power. He needed an opportunity to level up, so taking a little trip might be a good idea.

Abel, you need a team of knights to go with you?” The Lord of Marshall asked.

Abel was already an earl. As the ruler of a huge city and a vast territory, reflecting the power of his domain was crucial, and bringing a team of knights would be a great way to achieve it.

“Uncle Marshall, don’t forget, I’m a wizard as well!” Abel couldn’t help but laugh.

Imagine the irony of sending a team of knights to protect a Head Commander, a Head Commander that was a wizard as well.

Wizards were not supposed to have much connection with the common world. However, due to Abel’s status as a Grandmaster Blacksmith, the Wizard Union couldn’t really question his business. That was how a wizard had become an earl.

“Ok, whatever!” The Lord of Marshall laughed as well. Abel was still a kid in his mind. A few years ago, he couldn’t even imagine these statuses, but now, Abel had them.

Abel didn’t want to bring a team of knights with him because his mode of transport to Bakong City was limited.

He directly teleported to the teleportation circle on the Morton Magic tower’s first floor in Bakong City through the one in Harry Castle. Although the Magic tower had been shut, he still had permission to access it.

The energy supply of the Morton Magic tower could not be stopped, so the teleportation circle had always remained in operation.

He stepped out of the magic tower. The other 3 magic towers were still standing on the top of this hill. The only thing lacking was the liveliness it had. All the wizard followers who had dwelled in front of these magic towers had all moved to Harry Castle for its better condition.

Without cleaning up, this place felt like a desert. The weeds on the ground were starting to overgrown.

Abel didn’t like it this way. This place was the beginning of his wizard journey; it was full of memories. He quickly connected with Bartoli through the soul chain and asked her to set up a mission for a few apprentice wizards to clean up this place.

Only apprentice wizards would clean up the places around a magic tower. The mana those magic towers gave out was basically poison. If a normal person had stayed in a mana dense environment for too long, they would be badly injured or even die.

Countless apprentice wizards were gathering outside of Harry Castle. That place had more than enough mana to support their training, and they could gain resources by doing missions.

Therefore, giving out missions was a great way to help those wizards. Just a single mission could provide enough resources to support a few apprentice wizards for a few years.

Abel summoned Black Wind and rode it alongside the valley all the way down towards Bakong City.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he sensed the atmosphere getting tense. The normal soldiers guarding the place were replaced with knights on war horses. This place was just a normal Duchy, and Knights had high statuses in each Duchy.

Even though they were just beginner knights, sending them to guard a city gate would still be a big move.

“Bakong City is locked!” One of the knights blocked Abel, even though he noticed that Abel was riding a mount wolf.

Abel was caught off guard a little. He knew how famous Black Wind was in Bakong City. Was it possible that someone had never heard about him?

However, he had no intention of giving this knight a hard time. He took out a noble coat of arms from his portal bracelet. On top was a golden Chinese dragon under a black background.

Abel’s noble coat of arms had 2 faces; one was his own family coat of arms, another was the Harry family white unicorn coat of arms. Although the owner of that white unicorn coat of arms was The Lord of Marshall, Abel also had the privilege to use it since he was the Harry family’s heir.

However, ever since Abel had become an earl, the coat of arms needed to depict Earl Abel as the main sovereign. Therefore his father, The Lord of Marshall’s coat of arms, had become a secondary noble coat of arms to him.

Abel had presented the side with the Chinese dragon since it was granted by Bakong City when he received his domain. Also, it could show how humble he was.

However, he was totally not expecting what happened next.

“Sorry, Sir Earl. Bakong City is closed; you can’t enter!” That beginner knight gazed at the coat of arms and added. Although he had softened his voice, he still rejected Abel.

Abel’s face changed, and he took out his wizard badge as well. He asked again, “How about now?”

That knight’s face immediately turned when he saw the wizard badge. His partner quickly took out a whistle and heavily blew on it.

“You are not the knights from Bakong City!” Abel lowered his voice.

He finally realized why these knights could not recognize him after seeing Black Wind and that golden Chinese dragon coat of arms. Even when Abel took out his wizard badge, they blew on their whistle like an enemy was spotted.

They wouldn’t treat Abel this way if they knew his identity, so there was only one possibility. These two knights were not from here.

Every knight in Bakong City could recognize Abel’s golden Chinese dragon coat of arms since they had to memorize every noble’s coat in the Duchy.

And when a new noble was granted a coat of arms, those knights would know about it.

“Sir wizard, we are knights from the Duchy of Thunder. Our Duchy’s Head Commander Hector and a few other Wizards are taking with the George Family. No one is allowed to enter Bakong City!’ Although a knight had blown his whistle, he still spoke to Abel in a gentle tone.

“Get out of the way!”

Abel suddenly stepped forward on Black Wind. Before those 2 beginner knights could even react, Abel had arrived in front of their faces.

He grabbed one of the knights by his hand and directly threw him towards the other knight. The 2 knights clashed with each other and fell off their horses.

Those beginner knights were helpless like babies in the face of Abel. Abel didn’t even use any force. Just his speed and strength alone was enough to destroy those knights.

“Who is messing with the men from my Duchy of Thunder!” A white light flashed, and an intermediate wizard emerged from the city gate, perfectly blocking Abel’s way.

That intermediate wizard gazed at the half-dead knights on the ground, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. However, his face suddenly sank when he saw Black Wind.

Abel didn’t say anything; he flashed a magic pattern on his hand and cast a ‘telekinesis’ spell. It was so fast it had stunned that intermediate wizard.

“Ab…” before that intermediate wizard could even complete his word, he flashed away to dodge that telekinesis.

However, another spell pattern was formed long ago on Abel’s other hand. He had cast a double spell simultaneously. One was controlled by his main soul, while his druid soul ignited the other.
