Abe the Wizard

“Abel, what are some prerequisites to become a Black Smith Master?”

“Abel, do you still connect with other Black Smith Masters?”

“Abel, do Black Smith Masters make clothing for girls?”

“Abel, can Black Smith Masters make jewelry?”

These questions did not stop. Abel saw the no168 shop front in front of him, and let out a breath of relief. Hr said to Camille, “Camille, we arrived.”

“Abel, ever since I found that you are a Black Smith Master, your attitude towards me changed. How come you are no longer as enthusiastic,” Said Camille emphasizing her voice.

Abel bitterly smiled at Camille. He knew that all women could be illogical sometimes, even a wise female wizard. Camille was obviously asking weird questions along the way. Abel just did not know how to answer these questions, not that he had an attitude problem. That was such a big injustice. Abel could even feel it on his own face.

“You are back,” Said Carlos saving his hand to Abel and Camille. Then, he began to chat with a young wizard follower around 20 years of age in the shop in front of him.

“Can the price go any lower for this fire spell rune sign? The market price is 20,000 gold coins, and you are selling them for 22,000 gold coins. That’s quite a big gap, isn’t it!” Said the wizard follower, sounding a little irritated upon seeing the rune sign on display.

“We got a customer?” I’m a flash of an eye, Camille stepped in front of the counter. She looked at the wizard follower and said with a smile, “You can’t say it like that. Yes, the market price is 20,000 gold coins, but do you know why we are selling higher?”

“Why?” The Wizard follower saw a gorgeous female wizard.

“Because of heritage. All of our runes were personally inherited by an intermediate wizard, so our quality is a lot more promising than those ones on the market with defects, and turnover by multiple hands.” As Camille was speaking, she seemed to flash the identity card on her waist subconsciously.

When the wizard follower saw the identity card with a big tree engraving on Camille’s waist, his eyes immediately began to sparkle, he smiled and said: “Give me three fire attack rune signs.”

Carlos took out three rune signs from the shelf and handed it to the hands of the wizard follower. The

Wizard follower then took out his magic gold card and lightly tapped on Carlos’s magic gold card. A payment of 66,000 gold coins had been completed.

After the wizard follower had left, Carlos looked at Camille directly in the eye and said, “Wow, you used the teacher’s name to sell rune signs again. You better watch out.”

“No, I didn’t, I just said it was inherited by an intermediate wizard. There are a few intermediate wizards within the four countries. Who knows which one I am talking about!” Said Camille as she put on an innocent look, as though she had really just exposed her identity card mistakenly.

“Ok ok, at least we can sell some of them. It had been very quiet lately, and no one is buying rune signs,” said Carlos sounding a little irritated.

“Quiet is a good thing. It means that nothing major had happened. If not, we will get put in missions, and we won’t even have time to do our training,” Said Camille with a smile as she disagreed with Carlos’s perspective.

“Camille, we need to do missions?” Asked Abel suspiciously.

“Abel, you had only just settled in the magic tower. All you need to focus on is doing your training. You will get put into missions after five years.” Camille explained.

“Junior brother, if some bad intentioned dark novice wizards decided to something bad, sending an official wizard will be too much of a waste. However, it will be suicide if we send a knight. Novice wizards like us will be a perfect match. It will also be a good chance for us to gain some more experience in fighting.” Said Carlos turning his head after fixing up the things on the shelf.

“But only for novice wizards who can fight. We don’t want to give more food to our enemies by sending some rank three novice wizards,” Camille gifted this sentence to Carlos.

“Oh, it’s like I never completed a mission,” Carlos shouted while jumping up like a rabbit being bit in the tail.

“Yeah, what rank was that novice wizard that tagged along? Rank 1 or rank 2.” Camille asked Carlos in a calm voice while rolling her eyes.”

Seeing the two in killing mode again, Abel immediately said from the side, “Camille, Carlos. I’ll go take a walk, see if there’s anything to buy.”

“Ok, since it’s your first time here, it will be a good idea to take a walk around. I don’t trust Carlos to be by himself here. With his personality, he won’t even make enough gold coins for us to get back using the teleportation circle.” Said Camille nodding her head.

Abel slowly walked along with the crowd. Every shop had weird objects he couldn’t even recognize. Most of them seemed to be the body part of beasts, while others were strange herbs or materials. As Abel continued to walk, the more alienated he felt. By this point, he was even more motivated to memorize everything in Morton’s Observation Record. If he had, he wouldn’t be staring at all these weird objects in every shop like he had never been outside before.

After a while, Abel had stopped his steps. He finally recognized something in the shop in front of him. It was a crystal core; he was certain of that.

The owner of the shop was a middle-age rank four novice wizards with four-leaf badge on his chest. When he saw Abel, he said with a genuine smile, “Junior brother, are you looking for something?”

Abel continued to look at the crystal core on the shelf. Seeing such a familiar seller, he thought, why not buy some. It might also be a good idea to stock up some ingredients when he made runes in the future, “How much for a crystal core?” Abel asked.

“The Fire one is 20,000 gold coins apiece, the ice, and poison one is 30,000 gold coins apiece.” The middle-age wizard introduced with a smile.

Abel had asked about the rough value of crystal cores. These crystal cores in the shop were not too expensive. They were around the normal market value. This middle age novice wizard did not randomly raise the value since he didn’t have a wizard badge.

“Give me ten fire crystal cores and all of the ice and poison ones you have.” Said Abel seeing there was not much ice and poison one lefts on the shelf.

“Wait a minute, let me calculate,” the middle age novice wizard calculated in his heart for a while and proceeded to say “10 fire crystal cores, 20,000 gold coins. Seven ice and poison crystal cores, 21,000 gold coins. 41,000 gold coins in total.”

Abel took out his magic gold card. He had just received the auction payment of 240,000 gold coins from Edmound’s boutique shop. Now, he had reached a shocking amount of 35,1250 gold coins in his magic gold card.

A dark gold flash of light emerged as Abel tapped his magic gold card with the middle age novice Wizard’s magic gold card. After Abel had confirmed, 41,000 gold coins had deducted from his magic gold card. Now he only had 31,025 gold coins.

The middle-age novice wizard in front of Abel caught a glimpse of Abel’s gold card. Abel did not have the experience. Normally, people would cover their magic gold cards with their hands during transactions. When the middle age novice wizard saw the six figures in Abel’s gold card, his eyes flashed in greed.

Abel sensed a wave of bad intentions with his power of the will. When he lifted his head to see where the bad intentions were coming from, the eyes of the middle age novice wizard returned to peace again. Abel shook his head. Everything seemed to be normal, so he put the crystal cores in his bad and walked off.

Seeing where Abel had walked off, the middle age novice wizard took out a small sign and slowly injected some mana into it. This was a wizard exchange ground, so the use of mana was strictly band. However, these small scale communication signs only required a small amount of mana to operate, and it was sold by the officials of Caral City. That’s why the middle age novice wizard was brave enough to use it.

A small scale communication sign could only be used within a city, and that city must be covered in energy from a communication circle that corresponds with the communication sign. As the wizard exchange ground, Caral city was all covered in communication circles and was publicly selling these small communication signs. However, these small communication signs were normally extremely expensive. Normally an intermediate wizard could not afford it, and they were mostly purchased by official wizards.

“Teacher, I discovered a fat sheep!” During their conversation, the honest tone from the middle age novice Wizard’s voice had completely vanished. What’s left was only a smell of fishiness.
