"Carlos, do you have a map of the magic gem mine that was attacked? I have a mount wolf. It's very fast. I want to go check it out first. " Camille went back to her place to prepare, and Abel grabbed Carlos, who was about to go prepare as well, and said.
"Little brother, you are so rich. You even have a mount wolf. I heard that mount wolves are the number one mount on land. When can you lend me one?" Carlos said with a face full of envy when he heard that Abel had a mount wolf.
"Let's talk about the mount wolf later. Give me the map first." Abel said helplessly as he looked at Carlos. To be honest, Abel couldn't even ask Black Wind to let someone else ride it. Mount wolves were born to be loyal to only one master. In his opinion, if Carlos wasn't afraid of being left behind, he could go ahead and try.
"I can give you the map. Since you have a mount wolf that is so fast, you will definitely split up with us. But you must be careful not to force yourself. The rune signs on you are enough to kill wizards below rank 3, but the power of wizards above rank 3 is not something you can compare to. You must be careful." Carlos said worriedly as he took out a map and threw it to Abel.
"Got it, Carlos." Abel took the map and threw it into his portal bag. He then turned around and ran downstairs.
"I'm so jealous of the portal bag. When will I have one?" Carlos couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Abel didn't even need to prepare anything before setting off.
Half a day later, Abel rode Black Wind and arrived at the magic gem mine marked on the map. Since there would be a lot of low ranking wizards involved, Abel didn't summon Bai Yun. Instead, he rode Black Wind.
The location of this magic gem mine was about 500 miles west of Bakong City, and the other one was about 600 miles northwest of Bakong City. On the map, most of the wizard resource points that had not been attacked were near Bakong City. This was why the magic tower was built in Bakong City.
Bakong City was the biggest city in the Duchy of Carmel. It could provide a lot of top quality daily necessities for wizards. Also, since all the resource points were near Bakong City, wizards would gather outside of Bakong City.
Abel rode Black Wind up the mountain along a reinforced mountain road. He didn't meet anyone along the way. After turning a corner, a large scale mine appeared in front of him. More than 10 miners were moving rocks from the collapsed mine entrance. When they saw Abel coming, they stood up in horror.
"Sir, what do you want?" A slightly braver old miner walked forward with trepidation. He looked at the huge black wind and asked with a terrified expression.
"I'm a wizard from the Duchy of Carmel. I'm here to check the damage!" Abel took out his identity card and showed it to the old miner.
"Sir, 2 of the 4 dead bodies of the wizards are over there." The old miner let out a sigh of relief. His expression was still nervous as he pointed at a shed not far away. He then pointed at the mine and said, "The bodies of two Sir Adepts are buried in the mine. We are cleaning them up."
"Don't worry. Who was there at the time?" Abel looked at the old miner and then at the other miners who were standing with their hands tied.
"Sir, the only ones alive are me and the other 2 injured miners. We've already sent them down the mountain for treatment." The old miner said with a sad face.
"You mean they even killed normal people?" Abel asked in disbelief.
"Yes. When those wizards arrived, they first blew up the protection set up by the wizards at the entrance. After that, they killed everyone in sight. I was standing on a rock, and I was so scared that I lost my footing and fainted. When I woke up, I realized the mine had been destroyed. Everyone was dead except for the 3 of us. Not long after, Sir Moreton arrived and arranged for people to repair the mine." The old miner's eyes were filled with fear. He seemed to be thinking about those demonic wizards from the other day.
Abel understood. In the Duchy of Carmel, only his teacher Moreton had the speed to come here. However, those low-ranking wizards had killed even the miners to slow down the production of magic gems in the Duchy of Carmel. They wanted to hurt the foundation of the wizards in the Duchy of Carmel.
"You guys continue. I'll take a look around." Abel waved his hand and said to the old miner.
There were traces of a damaged protection circle at the entrance of the mine. Although Abel didn't know much about protection circles, he could tell it was a simple one. The normal red magic gems were broken into pieces and scattered on the ground. The surface of the circle was also damaged on purpose.
There were also some broken pieces of rune signs on the ground. It seemed like those low-ranking wizards were well prepared. A simple protection circle was mainly used to defend against physical attacks. As long as a magic attack exceeded its limit, it would destroy the circle. It seemed like those low-ranking wizards had prepared enough rune signs to directly destroy the circle.
Abel looked around as he walked. The marks on the ground reflected the battle situation. It was basically an unequal battle. There weren't many marks on the ground, only the blood of the defending side.
When he arrived at the place where the dead bodies were placed, the bodies of the 2 low-ranking wizards were placed on one side. On the other side were the bodies of 10 miners. Fire spells were too destructive to the bodies. Most of the bodies were beyond recognition. After carefully examining the bodies, Abel stood up in disappointment. Those wizards didn't leave any useful traces.
"Wooo wooo!" Black Wind kept howling beside a big rock. It seemed like it had found something.
Abel quickly walked to Black Wind and looked at the direction where Black Wind's claw was pointing. It was a narrow gap between 2 rocks. Through the weak light, he could see a piece of grey cloth at the bottom of the gap. It seemed like it was cut by the edge of the rock and fell into the gap.
This gap was about 1 meter deep and very small. It was basically impossible for a human hand to reach in and take it out. This was why it was left here.
This was not a problem for Abel. He took out the 'telekinesis' magic staff from his portal bag and ignited the 'telekinesis' spell. In a flash of white light, that piece of cloth had already appeared in his hand.
"Come, Black Wind, sniff and see if you can find this person!" Abel put the piece of cloth under Black Wind's nose. In his opinion, even the descendants of wolves had a very sensitive sense of smell. As a spirit beast mount wolf, Black Wind shouldn't have a problem.
As expected, Black Wind sniffed twice and told Abel through the will chain that it could find the owner of this piece of cloth.
Abel was overjoyed. He jumped on Black Wind's back and let Black Wind lead the way out of the mine. They followed the mountain path and ran down the mountain.
After they got down the mountain, Black Wind sniffed twice in the air. It did not continue on the main road. Instead, it ran into a small road from a fork in the road and stopped in front of a house.
It was an ordinary house made of mud and stone. The door was wide open. Abel jumped off Black Wind. As soon as he got close to the house, he smelled blood.
Abel put on his' frozen armor 'and carefully walked into the house. As soon as he entered, he saw the bodies of a man and a woman, two farmers, and a child lying in the corner of the house. It was obvious that they were brought here and killed with a knife. It seemed like these low ranking wizards were too lazy to waste their mana on ordinary people.
Abel looked at the family of three on the ground, especially the child that was only a few years old. His heart was burning with anger. Although he had killed a lot of people, he had never hurt the innocent. These low-ranking wizards wouldn't even let a child go. Their behavior was beyond Abel's understanding.
