"Master, what are you doing?" Finkle was looking at the air conditioner with envy. He was trying to figure out how the hot air came out, but he was shocked by this sudden spell. He thought he was attacked, so he looked around and asked.
"Nothing, I'm just practicing my spells." Abel took out a carving knife and a jade stone from his portal bag and casually explained.
Finkle was not an idiot. The "frozen armor" that appeared without any spell or hand gestures was definitely not a normal ability. However, he was already Abel's follower. If he wanted to keep his position as an apprentice for a long time, it would be better for him to keep his mouth shut.
In the following time, Finkle watched Abel carefully carve the jade stone in his hand. From time to time, he would suddenly use force to leave deep marks on the jade stone. Sometimes, he would accidentally aim the carving knife at his finger, but he never hurt his finger. He would always stop when he was about to cut his finger.
However, Finkle had already figured out a pattern. Every 7 minutes, Abel would activate the "frozen armor" spell, and it would appear without any spell or hand gestures.
Abel's basic carving knife training was very slow because of the weak little souls. However, his elite Knight's sense of danger helped him a lot. Due to his distraction, there were a few times when the carving knife almost touched his finger, but the elite Knight's sense of danger stopped him in time.
The Bakong City branch of the bank of the Holy Continent was located in the best location on Tianjing Avenue. The entire building was built with the whitest giant rocks. Every rock was polished to the point that it was as smooth as a mirror. This project alone made the Bakong City branch of the bank of the Holy Continent stand out from other buildings.
Abel and Finkle got off the carriage in front of the Bakong City branch of the bank of the Holy Continent. When Abel was about to step on the snowy white stairs, he was distracted again. If Finkle did not help him in time, he would have done the same thing in front of the Bakong City branch of the bank of the Holy Continent.
"Master, the bank of the Holy Continent does not allow the use of spells and combat qi." Finkle reminded in a soft voice.
"Is there such a rule?" Abel suddenly realized that it was a good thing he was in the carriage, and no one saw him casting a spell. It turned out that using spells was also forbidden in Bakong City.
With that in mind, Abel stopped casting the "frozen armor" spell. However, he didn't stop the countdown. In his mind, he could only practice multitasking in a safe place like the magic tower or the city during the day. If he was in Rogge's camp, especially in the wild, he wouldn't be able to practice multitasking. Therefore, he didn't want to stop for even a second.
"Finkle, go in!" Abel glanced at Finkle, who was waiting for him on the side.
The Bakong City branch of the bank of the Holy Continent had a lot of similarities with modern banks. A wide counter made of black mirror-like marble separated the internal working area of the bank from the external waiting area. The people who came to deal with the gold coin business all sat in the waiting area, waiting for the waiter to call them.
Abel looked around curiously. This place was much more advanced and beautiful than he had imagined. Although it was only a branch, there were carvings of the goddess of wealth and some legends on the wall. It made the whole bank look very dignified and solemn. As soon as he stepped in, he couldn't help but calm down and lower his voice.
A staff member wearing a white waiter uniform stepped forward and bowed politely. He looked at the two of them hesitantly, as if he couldn't decide which one to ask. In the end, he said to Finkle, "Hello sir, how can I help you?"
Abel and Finkle were both wearing grey hooded cloaks. The difference was that Abel's cloak was made of cotton, while Finkle was wearing a wool cloak because he was afraid of the cold. Therefore, the waiter was wearing better clothes. Finkle, who had a chubby body, thought he was the one in charge.
Finkle turned his head and looked at Abel. He saw that Abel didn't care, so he turned back and said to the waiter, "Please take us to get the wizard's offerings!"
The waiter's body froze, and he said with a trembling voice, "Please follow me!"
Looking at the appearance of this waiter, Abel realized that the reputation of wizards was quite scary. He followed the waiter to the second floor through the wide staircase on the left side of the hall.
"Sir, please be careful!" Finkle was a little worried as he followed Abel. He wanted to be able to help him at any time.
"Don't worry!" Abel waved his hand and paid more attention to his steps. They arrived at the second floor safely.
"This is the VIP lounge. Please wait for a moment, I will go and ask the treasurer to come and serve you!" At that moment, the waiter realized that he had mistaken Abel for the person in charge, so he bowed respectfully and said to Abel.
"No problem, we just need to rest!" Abel said with a smile.
After the waiter bowed and left, Abel turned his head and said to Finkle, "I didn't expect the metal shop to be so spectacular!"
Spectacular was Abel's first impression of the Bakong City branch of the Holy Continent. No matter if it was the white mirror-like walls on the outside, or the embossed decorations on the inside, at least in his opinion, other than the temple, this was the most beautiful place in Bakong City.
"Sir, the metal shop in the Holy Continent is the only one in every big city. The branch in Bakong City had been continuously improved for hundreds of years to become what it is now. It belongs to the Holy Continent Chamber of Commerce, which is one of the most powerful organizations in the human world." Finkle said softly.
At that moment, the waiter had already served the coffee. Abel couldn't help but admire the service here. He thought back to his previous life. When he went to the bank to withdraw money, he always had to wait in line. If he wanted to drink something, he had to buy it himself. It was just that he had never been to the VIP lounge, so he didn't know that the service there was also very good.
Thinking about this, Abel's hand shook, and some of the coffee spilled on the table.
"Sir, are you okay?" Finkle quickly asked. Abel had been acting very strange on the way here. It was like he had something on his mind, and accidents happened from time to time.
"Pfft!" A woman couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Abel turned his head, and the woman happened to turn her head as well. The woman was wearing a fancy dress. Even in this cold weather, she only had an extra fur coat. He recognized this woman. She was the mistress of King Leander, Mrs. Daisy.
"Baron Abel, nice to meet you!" Mrs. Daisy didn't expect the person she was laughing at to be Abel. She was a little panicked as she curtsied. She still remembered the day her senior Knight guard was killed by this young baron with his bare hands.
Abel and Mrs. Daisy were not familiar with each other, so he didn't say anything. He just slightly bowed back.
However, the young man beside Mrs. Daisy had attracted Abel's attention. The young man's face was pale, and he was wearing a loose leather robe. There were some patterns drawn on it. To normal people, those patterns were just decorations, but Abel knew they were magic patterns. Although he didn't know what kind of magic pattern it was, it was the first time he had seen someone draw magic patterns on clothes.
Although Abel's wizard rank was not high, his power of the will was strong enough. He could clearly sense that this young man was not an official wizard. From what he could sense, this young man's rank was about the same as Carlos'. He estimated that this young man was around rank 3 novice wizard.
Seeing Abel was looking at him, the young man smiled and nodded to Abel. He put his hand in front of his chest and did a wizard's salute. It seemed like this young man had also seen through Abel's identity. But it was easy to guess. In the city, anyone who could dress like Abel and Finkle and enter the VIP room, other than the clergy, was probably a low ranking wizard.
Abel politely returned the wizard's salute. Although the young wizard in front of him was very polite, as a senior Knight, Abel could sense that this young wizard was not as gentle as he appeared to be. It seemed like he was a little disgusted by Mrs. Daisy's salute.
However, Abel didn't care about this. He was just proud that ever since he had become a senior Knight, his senses had improved, and he could better recognize other people's hidden emotions. This would bring him a lot of benefits in the future. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of many things. For example, the few senior Knight leaders he had met before must have taken the initiative to make friends with him. At this moment, he thought about how he had exchanged his sincerity with them, and that was how they became friends.
"Who is that?" The young wizard asked Mrs. Daisy softly.
