While the Assassins Guild was still discussing how to fight against Abel, all the Knights in the human world went crazy. A set of magic knight equipment was made by Abel, so the Knights were willing to do anything to have it.
Magic Knight equipment usually consisted of magic armor, including a helmet, iron boots, gloves, belt, and other parts. It took a lot of time and effort to make, and this was the Knight's last line of defense.
Then there was the magic Knight sword. The most important one was the legendary knight sword that could absorb life and mana. This kind of sword was the dream of all big Knights.
Then there was the magic shield. A magic shield was the life of a Knight. A knight's left hand was for defense, and his right hand was for attack. The right hand was the knight's sword, and the left hand was the shield. This was why the Knight was the strongest class in close combat.
In the human world of the Holy Continent, in all the duchies, and in the 3 big empires, every mission point of the Assassins Guild was attacked by Knights.
The Assassins Guild did not expect to be attacked like this. They thought only the Duchy of Carmel or the surrounding duchies would be threatened by the Duchy of Carmel. Only in those places would the Assassins Guild be able to take revenge from the Duchy of Carmel.
In every city of the Holy Continent, the Knight rarely put on a mask and attacked the mission points of the Assassins Guild. They only had one goal, and that was to find the headquarters of the Assassins Guild.
However, the Assassins Guild was an organization that had countless enemies. They had always been protecting themselves from their enemies, so the staff at the mission points did not know where the headquarters was.
Even the high-ranking assassins in the Assassins Guild did not have the authority to use the teleportation circle to enter the headquarters. They did not know the exact location of the Assassins Guild headquarters.
In the Pute Valley of the Kingdom of St. Anwall, Wizard Kilmer's face was very ugly. The two leaders of the Assassins Guild, Arch-knight Of Acton and Wizard Eliot, had just tried to persuade him to kill Abel himself.
Wizard Kilmer knew that even if he wanted to attack Abel, he could not do it in Abel's territory. 3 rank 17 wizards were killed there, and he did not want to die there.
Of course, he was only thinking about it. He would not attack Abel himself. No matter if he succeeded or not, he would not be able to handle the consequences.
Wizard Eliot suggested, "We can lower the authority of the orders to kill Abel so that all the assassins have the authority to accept them. Then we can increase the reward. This way, all the assassins in the Assassins Guild will go to the Duchy of Carmel to find a way to kill Abel. I don't believe Abel can keep his defense intact. He can't block all the assassins' attacks!"
In the Assassins Guild, the powerful assassins would get some important orders. As they leveled up in the Assassins Guild, their authority would increase as well.
However, this did not mean that the weak assassins were not powerful. Many assassins would think of other ways to assassinate their targets, such as poisoning, traps, and so on.
If all of these assassins were to make a move, Abel would not be able to have a day of peace.
This was why so many powerful people in the history of the Holy Continent did not want to become enemies with the Assassins Guild.
You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Assassins were everywhere. No one could guard against them all the time.
If Abel was just a wizard, he could just live in his magic tower, and these assassins would not be able to do anything to him. However, as soon as he stepped out of his magic tower, he would fall into their trap.
Wizard Elliot's suggestion was to lower the requirements of the assassin kill order even further. This way, all assassins would be able to accept the mission. Even the weakest assassin without any fighting ability would be able to accept the mission.
Arch-knight Of Acton nodded, "Let's do it. Let Abel enjoy the rest of his life. He will never be able to walk out of his magic tower!" Abel's counterattack made him even angrier.
Although the Assassins Guild was not the most powerful guild in the Holy Continent, it was still a lot weaker than the Blacksmith's Guild and the Alchemy Guild. However, it was more aggressive.
Abel's counterattack had challenged the Assassins Guild like never before. This was not something he could accept.
Wizard Eliot yelled towards the door, "Someone, spread this mission to all the mission points!"
Soon, a staff member walked in and took the stamped parchment, but he did not touch it.
Wizard Eliot said angrily, "Why aren't you doing it yet?"
The staff member said in fear, "Master, we lost contact with all the mission points in the 3 big empires and duchies!"
Wizard Elliot couldn't help but yell, "What's going on?"
The Assassin's Guild had spent hundreds of years in order to establish mission points throughout the human world. In order to obtain the recognition of various parties and allow the existence of mission points, the Assassin's Guild had put in a lot of effort for several generations.
But now, they could no longer contact those mission points. Who had the power to do this? Maybe the 3 big empires could do it together, but even they couldn't do it in such a short time.
Also, the 3 big empires had enough power to protect themselves, so they wouldn't make an enemy out of an organization like the Assassins Guild.
"What happened?" Wizard Kilmer didn't ask about the Assassins Guild, but if this news was true, the entire Assassins Guild's assassin network would collapse. The Assassins Guild that he had been protecting would be done for.
For countless years, it was the endless supply of resources from the Assassins Guild that allowed him to become a rank 17 wizard. He had also placed his hopes of becoming a rank 18 wizard on the Assassins Guild.
Wizards were a profession that consumed a lot of resources. The more advanced a wizard was, the more resources they would consume. This was why there weren't many advanced wizards in the human world.
Without enough resources, it was impossible to cultivate an advanced wizard. If an advanced wizard wanted to take the next step, they would need even more resources.
Luckily, the real genius wizards in the Holy Continent had all left after becoming advanced wizards. This allowed the Holy Continent to have extra resources to cultivate a new batch of advanced wizards, but those resources were all controlled by the Wizard Union.
If a wizard like Wizard Kilmer wanted to get a share of the resources from the Wizard Union, he would have to be restricted by the Wizard Union.
Think about it, a wizard who controlled an organization like the Assassins Guild would not go to the Wizard Union and be restricted by other advanced wizards.
Therefore, when he heard that the mission point could not be contacted, he couldn't help but panic.
"Elder … Elder … According to the last news we received, it was the Knight who attacked the mission point. All the Knight in the human world had gone crazy. They madly attacked our mission point, captured the staff, and destroyed the mission point!" The staff member was shocked by Wizard Kilmer's aura. It was only until Wizard Kilmer calmed down a little that he said the news he received.
Arch-knight Of Acton clenched his teeth in anger, "Our mission points in the human world are all gone. Our efforts were all destroyed by Abel!"
Wizard Eliot complained, "We shouldn't have accepted this order. It caused our Assassins Guild to suffer such a loss!"
Although this order was supported by both of them, it was still brought up by Arch-knight Of Acton. It was normal for Wizard Eliot to have thoughts of complaining at a time like this.
"Yes, I was the one who brought up this order, but what did I do it for? Wasn't it for the guild? Also, you agreed. What do you mean by saying something like this at a time like this? "Arch-knight Of Acton slammed the table and stood up.
"I'm still here. What do you want? You want to fight among yourselves already? "Wizard Kilmer sneered.
As he spoke, his aura suddenly increased. Arch-knight Of Acton and Wizard Eliot bent down. The staff member was directly pressed to the ground. Although the staff member's face was red from the pressure, he didn't dare to make a sound.
Wizard Kilmer said helplessly, "Although there are no mission points in the human world, we still have mission points in the dwarves and elves. Let's use them as a foundation. We can slowly return to the human world after this is over!"
He didn't have a good idea. All the mission points in the human world were destroyed. There were just too many Knights involved. It was to the point that the Assassins Guild didn't dare to say anything about revenge against the Knights.
It was fine to take revenge against one or more Knights, but if they took revenge against the entire Knight class, there would be no place for the Assassins Guild to survive in the Holy Continent.
Knights were the most basic management in the Holy Continent. Whether it was farmers or city dwellers, they were all managed by the Knight class. Once they became enemies with this class, there would be no place for the Assassins Guild to survive in the Holy Continent other than the Orc Empire.
"Report!" Another staff member yelled at the door.
Wizard Kilmer looked at Arch-knight Of Acton and Wizard Eliot. He already had enough bad news today. What news was this?
There was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of the three of them. It was as if saying 'come in', which was usually easy, had become a little difficult for them now.
Wizard Kilmer lowered his voice, "Come in!"
The staff member walked in and saw the staff member who was trying to get up from the ground. A flash of fear appeared in his eyes.
The staff member said with a trembling voice, "Sirs, the elves just sent a message. The Assassins Guild has targeted the king of the Duchy of Carmel, Guru Abel. The Duchy of Carmel is a friendly city of Angstrom City. The Assassins Guild's actions are a declaration of war against the elves. Therefore, the elves will capture any member of the Assassins Guild that appears in the elves' territory. All mission points will be sealed, and all members will be captured!"
"What does what we do in the human world have to do with the elves? Is this Abel the son-in-law of the elves? "Wizard Kilmer couldn't keep up his image as he yelled.
The staff member didn't dare to look at Wizard Kilmer, "Sirs, there's more news!"
Wizard Kilmer suppressed his anger and waved his hand, "Tell me, what else do you have?"
The staff member continued, "The dwarves have also sent a message. They have sealed all the mission points of the Assassins Guild in the dwarven city. All members will be handed over to Guru Abel after they are captured. Also, all dwarven Assassins Guild members must leave. If they are found out, they will be charged with treason!"
"Boom!" The staff member who just finished speaking and the staff member who just got up from the ground were hit by a fireball. The fireball pushed the two of them a few meters away and exploded.
The power of the explosion caused the entire assembly hall to tremble, and the assembly hall was in a mess.
"It's over. The Assassins Guild is done for!" Wizard Kilmer mumbled to himself. He didn't care about the two staff members he just killed.
The price of mission points in the Assassin Guild of the elves and dwarves was 10 times more than the price of mission points in the human world. In order to establish mission points in the elves and dwarves, the Assassin Guild had even done many shady things for the important figures of the elves and dwarves.
With the help of the two races and the promise that the Assassins Guild would not target the nobles, the mission points were established in the two races.
Wizard Kilmer's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Seal the teleportation circle. It's not safe anywhere now. We can't let anyone in or out of the headquarters. Let's think of something else after this period of time!"
Killing Arch-knight Of Acton and Wizard Eliot was easy, but it didn't do anything. The most important thing right now was to preserve their strength and find a way to rebuild the Assassins Guild after the storm passed.
As for the assassination of Abel, no one mentioned it again. They had been in meetings all this time. Who would've thought that the decision would be made so soon? There was no way to send it to the assassins in the guild.
The teleportation circle of the Assassins Guild was sealed. Other than the staff members, all the other assassins were sent out of the Assassins Guild headquarters.
The Assassins Guild went into hibernation, waiting for the chance to rise again.
… …..
It had been five days since the Assassins Guild's assassination. The Knight of the Holy Continent had never been this active before. The knights had cleaned up every mission point of the Assassins Guild in the human world, and countless staff members were captured.
After the mission points of the Assassins Guild were destroyed, the most direct impact was that the Assassins Guild had no way to turn in their missions. They could complete their missions, but they couldn't get the bounty.
The reputation of the Assassins Guild had been destroyed. The members of the Assassins Guild couldn't find the Assassins Guild, and the Assassins Guild couldn't contact their members.
All of this was out of Abel's expectation. He didn't think a Grandmaster Blacksmith's promise would be this important. It would make the Knight of the human world attack the Assassins Guild like crazy.
Arch-knight Of Acton and Wizard Eliot had become famous. Before, their names were still circulating among the Knight of Acton, but now, they had become the target of every Knight.
Every city, every village, as long as there was a Knight guarding it, they had become the eyes of the Knight of Acton.
Steward Burbage walked into Abel's study room and bowed, "Your Majesty, Wizard Allenby wants to see you!"
"Come in!" Abel was stunned when he heard this name. Wizard Lorenzo was the closest to him among all the elite wizards in Liante City.
Normally, Wizard Lorenzo would be the one to contact him when something happened in Liante City. How come Wizard Allenby was the one who came this time?
"Guru Abel, long time no see!" Wizard Allenby walked into the guest room. Abel was already waiting for him.
The study room was a very private place. Only the people closest to him were allowed to enter. As the king of the Duchy of Carmel, there were too many secrets in his study room.
"Wizard Allenby, what brings you here today?" Abel stood up and pointed at a chair on the side with a smile, "What brings you here, Wizard Allenby?"
Wizard Allenby bowed back with a smile and sat down.
The servant came up to deliver the fruit juice from the elves, and then carefully retreated.
Abel saw Wizard Allenby pick up the juice and take a sip. He seemed to be looking at Steward Burbage, and he began to think.
Abel looked at Steward Burbage and said, "Burbage, you can leave first. Don't let anyone interrupt my conversation with Wizard Allenby!"
Steward Burbage bowed and left. He then closed the door of the guest room on his way out.
Wizard Allenby smiled, "Guru Abel, you were recently assassinated. On behalf of the Wizard Union, I would like to express my condolences. The Assassins Guild's actions have exceeded the Wizard Union's expectations. They will be condemned by the Wizard Union!"
Abel immediately expressed his attitude, "Thank you for your concern. The Assassins Guild has become a cancer in the human world. I will use all my resources to fight the Assassins Guild!"
Wizard Allenby suddenly said, "Guru Abel, I know Wizard Kilmer!"
Abel was stunned. He was a little confused. Was Wizard Allenby here to persuade him?
Abel said, "I'm sorry, but the conflict between me and the Assassins Guild is irreconcilable!"
The conflict between him and the Assassin's Guild could no longer be resolved peacefully. Now that he had the advantage, if he didn't beat them to death now, when the Assassin's Guild recovered, he would continue to be targeted by the Assassin's Guild.
Although he wasn't afraid of assassination, his family was not. He still had a duchy. If the Assassins Guild targeted the people he cared about, it would be a disaster.
Wizard Allenby shook his head, "No, Guru Abel, I'm not here to persuade you!"
Abel asked in confusion, "Then, you are?"
Wizard Allenby gently swirled the crystal glass in his hand and said with a smile, "I went to Wizard Kilmer's magic tower many years ago. You know, a lot of his magic tower's components were bought from Liante City!"
"What? You went to Wizard Kilmer's magic tower? "Abel's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask.
Elite wizards had a much better sense of direction than normal people. They could easily sense where they were by using the "move in a flash" all year round. On top of that, they were born with a wizard's knowledge system, so this ability was pushed to the limit.
Abel had bought a lot of information over the past few days. He roughly knew that the Assassins Guild Headquarters was in the Kingdom of St. Anwall, but he didn't know the exact location.
Wizard Allenby took out a piece of parchment from his portal bag and handed it to Abel, "Yes, I personally installed some of the components in Wizard Kilmer's magic tower, but I can only give you a rough location!"
Abel took the parchment. It was a map. The rough outline of the Kingdom of St. Anwall was drawn on the map. There was a red circle in the Kingdom of St. Anwall.
The circle was about 800 miles in radius. From the map, one could tell that it was a mountainous area. It wouldn't be easy to find the Assassins Guild Headquarters in a place like this.
Wizard Allenby spoke from the side, "Wizard Kilmer set up a positional interference device in the magic tower. According to the rules, I can't see the outside of the magic tower. So, this is the best I can do to draw the map!"
He also knew that although this map was very helpful in finding the Assassin's Guild headquarters, it was still some distance away from actually finding the Assassin's Guild headquarters. If the Assassin's Guild headquarters had some sort of seclusion circle or other concealment means, this map was very likely to be useless information.
Abel stood up, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and did a wizard bow, "Wizard Allenby, thank you very much for your help. Once you've prepared the materials for your magic staff, you can come find me at the Duchy of Carmel!"
"Guru Abel, it's my honor to be able to help you!" Wizard Allenby was overjoyed. No matter what, Abel's attitude meant that he had accepted this information. Making a magic staff was one thing, but more importantly, building a friendship with Abel would make it easier for them to keep in touch in the future.
After sending Wizard Allenby off, Abel opened the map again. He knew why Wizard Allenby had to ask everyone to leave before giving him the map.
Wizard Allenby's actions had directly betrayed his customers in Liante City. Especially before he worked for Wizard Kilmer, he had to sign a confidentiality agreement.
"Anyone can be betrayed. It just depends on how valuable they are!" Abel mumbled with a smile on his face. In his heart, he had already classified Wizard Allenby as a normal friend.
The map in his hand had a range of 800 miles. This range was still too big for other people, but for a flying mount like him, it wasn't hard to find.
Especially since he had the commander spirit, he could scan everything within 10 miles. This would allow him to complete his search as quickly as possible.
"Burbage, send down the order. I'm going to retreat for a few days. Leave everything to my father and Earl Brook!" Abel said to Steward Burbage.
Earl Bennett represented Family Bennett. Although Earl Brook was the head of the Hari family of Gamba, he was also Earl Marshall's father. Therefore, Abel was used to dividing the Duchy of Carmel between the two of them.
Of course, Abel wasn't going to retreat. He decided to go to the Duchy of St. Anwall himself. Although the Griffin Knight could scout, it couldn't do anything to an elite wizard. Also, he didn't want to alert the enemy.
He first used the teleportation circle to return to the Bakong City Palace. Afterward, he used the soul chain to summon Bai Yun, Flying Flame, Johnson, and Snow White to the battle fort 03 above the palace.
The best weapon to deal with an elite wizard who could move in a flash was a battle fort. It was an ancient weapon used to deal with those who could move in a flash.
As usual, Bai Yun pulled the battle fort 03 towards the Kingdom of St. Anwall. Abel left in stealth mode without alerting anyone. He quietly flew towards the location marked on the map.
Abel didn't use the battle fort in Harry Castle. It was the last line of defense for Harry Castle and the entire Duchy of Carmel wizard circle.
As long as the battle fort was there, even an elite wizard wouldn't be able to deal a fatal blow to Harry Castle.
There were too many family foundations there, like the 3 goddess statues, Abel's magic tower, and the powerful spirit of Flora.
Although the battle fort 03's spirit was not as powerful as Flora, it was not weak in battle. It was enough to deal with an elite wizard.
Bai Yun's flying speed was also very fast, but it was still too slow compared to Flying Flame. Abel's heart skipped a beat. The battle fort could only move with Bai Yun's help, and Bai Yun's speed determined the speed of the battle fort.
Abel happened to have a bottle of ability potion. It had 3 abilities: lightning enhancement, extra speed, and teleportation.
The extra speed was one of them. Once Bai Yun had the extra speed, its speed would skyrocket. Afterward, the battle fort would be able to reach the battlefield much faster.
"Bai Yun, take a break!" Abel yelled to Bai Yun, who was pulling the battle fort 03.
"Coo coo!" Bai Yun replied. Although it didn't know what its owner wanted, it still stopped.
As soon as the battle fort 03 stopped, the battle fort 03's spirit automatically locked it in place. The battle fort was fixed in the sky.
"Bai Yun, this ability potion is for you!" Abel threw the purple potion to Bai Yun.
Of course, Bai Yun knew what kind of potion it was. Normally, the owner would give it to a battle beast or a summon beast first. The power of the ability potion could be seen from other summons and summons.
It deftly grabbed the bottle with its beak and opened the cap. Under the envious gaze of Flying Flame and Johnson, it drank the potion.
Only Snow White was confused. It didn't know how precious the ability potion was.
A purple light flashed on White Cloud's body and wrapped around its giant body. Abel knew that it was time to rely on luck to choose one of the three abilities in the "ability potion."
No one could help Bai Yun in this kind of thing. It all depended on Bai Yun's luck.
However, Abel had his own opinion. He realized the non-battle ability would be chosen first. Among the 3 abilities, the lightning enchantment was a battle ability. It was very scary.
If Bai Yun had the lightning enchantment, it would unleash 4 lightning bolts to attack the enemies around it.
However, this ability was useless to Bai Yun. Abel wouldn't let Bai Yun participate in a battle.
As a sky sparrow, White Cloud was no longer afraid of fighting. It had overcome its natural cowardice. However, White Cloud was not a battle-type beast. Its attacks were very simple. As Abel's enemies got stronger and stronger, White Cloud's attacks became less and less effective.
Abel thought the most likely ability to get was the 'extra fast' and 'teleportation.' These were both movement abilities, but the 'teleportation' ability was too weak. It could only be activated when one's life was in danger.
'Teleportation' could only be activated when one was seriously injured.
Just as Abel was looking at the purple light on Bai Yun's body and studying the pattern of the 'ability potion,' the purple light began to retract. The final choice had been made.
Abel saw Bai Yun's huge body absorb the last trace of purple light. Suddenly, its white body flickered with white light. Then, its body disappeared and appeared about 500 meters away.
"Bai Yun, you obtained the 'teleportation' ability?" Abel couldn't help but ask.
He got an affirmative answer from Bai Yun's soul chain.
Just as Abel was thinking that the 'ability potion' might be wasted, he saw Bai Yun appear 500 meters away again. Its body flickered with white light. Then, it appeared where it left.
"What's going on? Don't you need to be seriously injured to use the 'teleportation' ability?" Abel asked, but he could only get Bai Yun's puzzled response.
Abel thought of Bai Yun's identity. Bai Yun was not a battle beast. In other words, it was just a harmless creature. The sky sparrow was naturally timid and a vegetarian flying beast. Therefore, the abilities that appeared in its body were more powerful.
