"This should be the central continent!" Abel mumbled to himself.
The energy from the super teleportation circle beneath him hadn't completely dissipated yet. At that moment, he felt an item in the Valaya's ring vibrate uncontrollably.
Valaya's ring had already recognized him as its master, so he'd be able to detect any changes in it immediately.
It was the crystal angel statue. When he sent his power of the Will into the ring, he realized that the source of the vibration was a crystal angel statue formed from the remnant soul of Tyrael that had been corrupted by hell.
As soon as his power of the Will connected with the crystal angel statue, countless amounts of information flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
His mind was in a mess. He wanted to move his power of the Will away from the statue, but he realized that his power of the Will was fixed on the statue. It was like the statue was a part of his power of the Will.
Abel's soul was very complicated. He had the soul of a human, but he also had the characteristics of a giant dragon after absorbing the dragon essence from the blue dragon core. He also had the characteristics of an angel after absorbing the remnant soul of Tyrael.
Originally, the crystal angel statue didn't have the power of faith, so it didn't have any energy to replenish itself.
He didn't know why, but when he came to the Central Continent, the crystal angel statue sensed the power of faith. When his power of the Will came in contact with it, the crystal angel statue automatically recognized him as its master. It was born from his brain, and it had the characteristics of an angel.
The sea of information made Abel's mind hurt more than he could handle. At the same time, the soul of the Druil quickly took in some of the information and relaxed his mind a little.
Using this opportunity, he immediately activated the world stone fragment's ability to analyze data. With the help of the world stone fragment, the information began to come under control.
"My God, please forgive my sins. I cut down my neighbor's tree today!"
"My God, please protect me so that I can pass this test!"
"My God, please make Miss Minnie fall in love with me!"
"My God, please save my puppy! It's dying!"
"My God, please let my mother recover from her illness as soon as possible!"
…
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of years of information were neatly arranged in his mind. The world stone fragment quickly organized the information, and it was no longer as messy as it was at the beginning.
Abel finally understood the content of the information. It seemed like it was all about praying to the gods, but he didn't understand why he could accept it.
However, he was in trouble. The influx of information made it impossible for him to think about anything else.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, the world stone fragment in his pineal gland flashed. Afterward, the crystal angel statue flew out of his Valaya's Ring. A crack appeared in his eyes, and the crystal angel statue went into his eyes.
After the crystal angel statue entered his eyes, it came under the world stone fragment. Under the light of the world stone fragment, the information disappeared.
The crack in Abel's eyes disappeared as well, as if it was never there in the first place.
Abel was a little confused. What was going on? He knew how miraculous the crystal angel statue was. It was formed from the remnant soul of Tyrael in his mind, and then taken out by him.
Now, it had returned to the pineal gland in his brain, and it was clearly suppressed by the World Stone fragment.
Although the world stone fragment and the crystal angel statue weren't small, they would take up a large part of the pineal gland between his eyes. However, both of them were inside the pineal gland, so their size didn't mean much to Abel.
Abel thought for a moment, and the light from the world stone shard dimmed a little. Soon, a bunch of prayers were sent into his mind.
He quickly commanded the world stone fragment to suppress the crystal angel statue, and the prayers disappeared again.
Although the sound of prayer had disappeared, the sound of prayer didn't enter his mind. Instead, it entered the crystal angel statue. Strands of milky white faith power were generated in the crystal angel statue along with the sound of prayer.
It seemed that a group of believers in the Central Continent had confused the God they believed in with the Archangel represented by his crystal angel statue. Or rather, the two were very similar, so they mistook the crystal angel statue for a God.
He couldn't find anyone to ask about the crystal angel statue before, but now that things were like this, it was even more impossible to find someone to ask about it. Treasures that were related to the divine spirits were all at the level of divine items.
This was not the Holy Continent. He wasn't afraid of anyone there, but he didn't know what was going on here, so it was best to be safe.
"New Magus, please follow me!" The energy around had stabilized, and the door of the hall was opened. A wizard in a white robe walked in.
Abel followed the white-robed wizard out of the super teleportation circle hall. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he saw countless pillars around him. Each pillar was filled with magic circle runes.
The pillars were about 10 meters tall, and there were more than 100 pillars surrounding the super teleportation circle. He could feel the mana in the air being absorbed by these pillars.
The mana density in the air was very high. It was even better than the mana gathering circle. He just didn't know if this was the legendary super mana gathering circle.
Abel had a feeling that the Central Continent and the Holy Continent were on the same planet. Other than his intuition, the composition of the air here was exactly the same as the Holy Continent.
Not many people in the Holy Continent knew about the Central Continent, and those who did didn't tell him much about it. Therefore, he had to rely on his own guesses.
"Mr. Wizard, my name is Abel. May I ask what your name is?" Abel asked as he followed the wizard in a white robe.
The wizard in a white robe was more powerful than Abel. Judging from the wizard badge on his chest, he was already a rank 17 wizard.
Wizard Grover was a little more relaxed, "I'm Grover. I'm also an advanced wizard. Don't call me Mr. Wizard. Just call me by my name!" Maybe it was because of Abel's friendly attitude.
"Wizard Grover, where are we going?" Abel could tell that Wizard Grover was a friendly person, so he asked.
"I'll take you to register your identity. That way, your information will be sent to the Wizard Union, and your identity will be recognized by the Wizard Union." Wizard Grover explained as they walked.
"Wizard Grover, why don't you use the 'instantaneous movement' instead of walking like this?" Abel wanted to ask this question. Almost all intermediate wizards in the Holy Continent rarely walked. Normally, they would use the 'instantaneous movement' instead of walking.
On one hand, it was to practice the 'instantaneous movement'. On the other hand, it was because it was fast.
"Wizard Abel, you're new here. You don't know the rules of the Holy Continent. It's best if you don't use the 'instantaneous movement' in any city. It'll be considered a challenge to the big defensive circle. You'll be attacked by the spirit that controls the circle!" Wizard Grover stopped in front of a dark grey building and replied.
Abel looked at the building in front of him. He could tell that it was a defensive building. On the surface of the dark grey building, he could vaguely see some defensive patterns.
Wizard Grover took out an identity card and swiped it on the door of the dark grey building. The door opened automatically.
"This is the guard station of the super teleportation circle. You need to be careful!" Wizard Grover gave a friendly reminder, but he didn't say anything. He just walked through the door.
Abel followed him in. As soon as he walked in, he could clearly feel a scanning force sweeping across his body. It focused on the wizard badge on his chest and seemed to recognize his identity. Soon, the scanning force disappeared.
After he walked in, he saw a hall. There weren't many wizards here. There were only five of them, and one of them was an advanced wizard. The rest were basically beginner wizards.
The four beginner wizards were sitting behind a desk. It was obvious that they were in charge of business. The advanced wizard was a little chubby. When he saw Abel walk in, a shrewd smile emerged on his face.
"Wizard Abel, come here to register!" Wizard Grover pointed at a beginner wizard and said.
"Mr. Wizard, please give me your wizard badge!" The beginner wizard said with a respectful tone.
Abel took off the wizard badge on his chest and handed it over.
The beginner wizard took the badge and pressed it on a small magic circle on the table. Soon, a white light flashed, and he took off the badge and returned it to Abel.
"That's it?" Abel asked. He didn't expect the wizard badge to be returned so quickly.
"Mr. Wizard, your information has been verified by the Wizard Union. From now on, you just need to go to any Wizard Union every month to get your monthly payment!" The beginner wizard nodded his head.
"There's a monthly payment?" Abel asked curiously.
"Mr. Wizard, you are an advanced wizard. Every month, you can get 5 intermediate gems from the Wizard Union. If you work for the Wizard Union or complete missions for the Wizard Union, you can get more!" The beginner wizard explained patiently.
As soon as Abel heard that he would only get 5 intermediate gems a month, he lost all interest in it. If he didn't have other sources of income, 5 intermediate gems wouldn't even be enough for his own training, let alone building a magic tower.
Abel's expression made it clear to all the wizards in the hall that he was quite rich.
"New wizard, it's dangerous here. Don't you want to buy something to protect yourself?" A chubby advanced wizard walked over and asked kindly.
Abel turned and looked at the chubby advanced wizard. From the corner of his eye, he saw a strange look on the beginner wizard's face.
The chubby advanced wizard in front of him was also a rank 17 advanced wizard. Although his voice was friendly, Abel couldn't sense any friendliness from him.
Before coming to the Central Continent, Abel had changed all his gear. He didn't wear any of his rune word or physical combat gear.
All he wore was a luxurious robe. He didn't look any different from a normal advanced wizard.
The reason he didn't wear any of those gear was because Wizard Dunn reminded him not to reveal his identity as a Knight in the Central Continent. Therefore, Abel was even more thorough. He didn't even have a single Knight related item on him.
"Wizard Dickens!" Wizard Grover was about to stop Wizard Dickens, but he was stopped by Wizard Dickens with a hand gesture.
Wizard Grover didn't want to offend his companions because of Abel, so he didn't say anything.
"Look at this magic armor. It's only 1000 intermediate gems. Cheap, right?" Wizard Dickens took out a magic armor from his portal bag and introduced it to Abel.
Abel glanced at it and knew it was a magic armor from the Dark World. Of course, it was just a normal blue magic armor.
"Look at the attributes. It reduces spell damage by 4 and increases defense by 30%. It's only 1000 intermediate gems. It's not expensive at all!" Wizard Dickens said in a confident tone.
"Wizard Dickens, I'm just a wizard. I can't use armor!" Abel didn't want to offend an elite wizard as soon as he arrived, but he didn't want to be lied to either, so he tactfully declined.
"If you can't use armor, how about leather armor? I still have magic leather armor. If not, I still have magic cloth armor. Although it's not as good, I'll only charge you 800 intermediate gems!" Wizard Dickens said as he took out a leather armor and a cloth armor.
"Thank you, but I don't need them!" Abel lowered his voice.
If he wasn't a Grandmaster Blacksmith, and if he didn't have a deep understanding of the Dark World's equipment, he would've been laughed at by Wizard Dickens. He knew that the Dark World's equipment wasn't worth that much in the Central Continent. If he didn't have a deep understanding of the Central Continent, he would've wasted a large number of intermediate gems and be laughed at like an idiot by Wizard Dickens.
"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? It's very dangerous outside. Without the protection of these equipment, you could get hurt at any time! "Wizard Dickens continued.
"Wizard Dickens, let me remind you. Look at the age of this elite wizard in front of you!" Wizard Grover couldn't stand it anymore, so he gently reminded Wizard Dickens.
Wizard Dickens heard him and began to look at Abel. Soon, he could feel the vitality in Abel. This was a ridiculously young advanced wizard.
An advanced wizard like this would have great achievements in the future. He was not like those advanced wizards who teleported here when they were hundreds of years old. They were just cannon fodder in the Central Continent.
It was fine if he lied to those advanced wizards, but if he lied to this Abel in front of him, he might come back and cause trouble when Abel's power increased.
"Wizard Abel, I'm sorry, but I still have some things to do. I'll take my leave first!" Wizard Dickens laughed awkwardly and quickly left Abel's side.
"Wizard Abel, please don't blame Wizard Dickens. I've been guarding this super teleportation circle with him for a hundred years. Other than the nice mana environment, there's not much other income. Our monthly salary is barely enough for training, so whenever new people come, he'll find a way to sell some useless equipment!" Wizard Grover explained to Wizard Dickens in embarrassment.
"It's okay, Wizard Grover. I don't know much about the Central Continent. I don't even know where this place is. Do you sell maps here?" Abel smiled.
Wizard Grover replied, "This is the very edge of the central continent. The city we're in is called Annual City. It's the access point of the 18 super teleportation circles in the west. You can buy the map you want from the map shop outside, but you'll have to use magic gems to buy everything here."
Eighteen continents in the west? Abel's heart skipped a beat. How big was this world? There were 18 continents in the west of the Central Continent.
Abel had explored the ocean before. According to Blue Dragon Emmanuel, the ocean around the Holy Continent was protected by dragons. That meant the Holy Continent was surrounded by at least 10 thousand miles of ocean.
Looking at it this way, the vastness of this world far exceeded his imagination.
"Thank you so much, Wizard Grover!" Said Abel as he prepared to leave.
"Wizard Abel, it's best if you stay in Annual City for a while. Your message has been sent out through the Wizard Union. With your talent, I'm sure a wizard organization will invite you to join. As long as you join a wizard organization, you'll have protection in the Central Continent. Also, the training conditions in a wizard organization are much better than training on your own!" Wizard Grover quickly reminded Abel.
"Do you know where the headquarters of the Lightning Clan is located?" Abel remembered the identity card that Wizard Dunn gave him. Wizard Dunn wouldn't trick him, so it was best to find a wizard organization that he could trust.
"The Lightning Clan?" Wizard Grover looked at Abel seriously and continued, "The conditions to join the Lightning Clan are very high. Do you have any elders there?"
"No, I have a Lightning Clan identity card. I think I can join the Lightning Clan!" Abel took out his identity card and said.
Wizard Grover's face changed. He looked at Abel's identity card with fear and envy.
"The Lightning Clan is located in the Land of Thunder Fall. You can go there through Annual City's teleportation circle!" Wizard Grover said with a hint of respect.
Abel bowed to express his gratitude and left the station through the front door.
After Abel left, Wizard Grover looked at Wizard Dickens, who was spacing out on the side.
"Wizard Dickens, don't do this kind of thing in the future. You might offend someone you shouldn't offend. It's not worth it for money!" Wizard Grover lowered his voice.
The hall of the station wasn't very big, so all the wizards heard what Abel said. Wizard Dickens was shocked by what Abel said about the Lightning Clan.
He was a rank 17 wizard, but he knew very well that he had no chance of winning against a rank 16 Lightning Clan wizard. The power and terror of lightning spells were famous in the wizard world.
After walking out of the station, he followed the main road for a while and saw a wall. There was a gate at the end of the road.
There were no guards at the gate. He walked in front of the gate and activated the scanning ability on the gate. Soon, his identity was verified, and the gate opened.
He walked out of the gate, and the gate closed behind him. At this point, he realized that the inside and outside of the wall were two different worlds. The inside of the wall was a mana environment, and the outside was a normal human city.
It wasn't that different from a human city in the Holy Continent. The shops on both sides of the street were just normal shops.
Abel decided to rest in this city for the day. He wanted to learn about the culture of the Central Continent before making his next move.
There was a hotel in front of him, so he pushed open the door and walked in.
"The prestigious Mr. Wizard, I am the owner of this place, Daley. How may I help you?" When a servant saw Abel, he was about to step forward to greet him, but he was stopped by a fat middle-aged man who walked out from behind the counter. The servant quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Give me a clean room and a set of lunch!" Abel said after looking around. It was quite refreshing.
"The prestigious Mr. Wizard, the room will be ready for you right away!" Daley said with a smile on his face. He then turned to the servant and said, "Hurry up and clean the best room for the Mr. Wizard. Make sure it's clean!"
The servant hurriedly bowed in agreement and quickly walked upstairs.
"Sir Wizard, what would you like for lunch? I have fresh beef that I just slaughtered today, some vegetables that I just harvested from the fields, and some red wine from Gondrake City!" Daley carefully bowed as he introduced the food.
"I'll have a steak and 2 of your chef's best dishes. I don't want red wine. Do you have juice?" Abel said casually.
"Juice, I have snow mountain pear and crystal grapes. Take a look, and I'll ask someone to make juice for you!" Daley was stunned for a moment and quickly said.
To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to what he ate in a hotel like this. Most people would drink red wine, and most people would drink rum. Not many people would order juice.
However, Abel was a wizard, so he had to do it. Although it was a little troublesome, it wasn't impossible.
"Do you have water spirit fruit?" Abel asked casually. He then realized he had asked the wrong question. How could a hotel like this have water spirit fruit? He quickly said, "snow mountain pear juice!"
"Pfft!" A burst of uncontrollable laughter came from a table of guests who were eating in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
It was lunchtime, and there were already 5 tables in the hotel, taking up half of the tables.
There were 4 adventurers, 3 males and 1 female. The one who laughed was the young female adventurer.
She carried a bow on her back. Even when she was eating, the bow didn't leave her body. You could see how important it was to her.
Two of the other three adventurers were using large axes, and one was using a large shield and a long spear. Their weapons were all within reach.
The one using the large shield and long spear was a middle-aged man. He glared at the female adventurer and stood up.
"I'm sorry, Bessie. Please forgive her!" He said with a bow.
"Captain, why are you apologizing? He just ordered water spirit fruit juice. Isn't that funny?" The female adventurer was a young girl who looked to be about 20 years old and had a delicate face. She was unconvinced and retorted.
Abel didn't care about this at first. He turned around and bowed slightly, "Sorry for my rudeness!"
He then found an empty table and sat down. However, the captain was shocked when he saw the wizard badge on Abel's chest. It made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Bessie, apologize to the wizard!" The captain ordered Bessie in a deep voice.
Bessie wasn't an idiot. She had been adventuring in the wild for a long time, so it was inevitable that she didn't pay attention when she returned to the city.
"I'm sorry, wizard!" Bessie stood up and said softly to Abel.
Abel stood up and bowed slightly to show that he had forgiven her.
In this hotel, the captain was probably the only one who knew what Abel's wizard badge meant. Since the captain and Bessie were apologizing to Abel, the other 4 tables began to talk again.
Only the adventurers were a little nervous. Eating with an elite wizard was not a good choice for adventurers.
Abel wanted to eat in the main hall because he wanted to learn more about the Central Continent while the diners were chatting.
By the time the lunch he ordered arrived, there were more diners in the hotel, filling all ten tables in the hotel.
If he wasn't a wizard and no one wanted to eat with him, he wouldn't be the only one at this table.
Abel listened to the conversations around him and slowly savored the food. Although the food here was much worse than the ones made by the chefs in Harry Castle, he could tell that they had put in a lot of effort to make it.
When lunch was about to come to an end, he heard some things.
The highest ranking person in Annual City was the city lord. He was a noble with a viscount title, and he had 1000 spearmen to keep the city safe.
Annual City was on the edge of the Central Continent, but due to its geographical location, there were many spiritual beasts in the forest outside the city. Therefore, Annual City had become a favorite city for adventurers.
Everything here was almost the same as the Holy Continent. Nobles were in charge of the city, and adventurers were looking for opportunities to make a fortune.
Combined with what he saw, the situation here was very similar to the Holy Continent. Or rather, the living environment here was the same as the human world in the Holy Continent.
However, Abel noticed something strange. None of the diners mentioned Knights. It was almost like knights didn't even exist.
Knights were the foundation of the nobles' existence. If knights did not exist, then how would the nobles manage the city? Would they use those spearmen?
Maybe he should take the initiative to learn more about the Central Continent. Abel stood up and walked to the table where the adventurers were about to leave. He pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Everyone, I'll treat you all to a drink after lunch!" Abel said with a smile. He then waved his hand and said to a servant, "Give everyone a glass of good wine!"
"What do you want to know, Mr. Wizard?" The captain asked carefully.
He knew Abel didn't have any bad intentions, but his friend Bessie just laughed at Abel. This was not a small matter. If a wizard was a petty person, he would have killed Bessie immediately.
Annual City was a small city, and its large protection circle could not suppress elite wizards. If an elite wizard wanted to kill someone in the city, it would be very hard to stop him.
"Don't be so careful. I just want to ask something simple!" "I just came to the Central Continent from another continent, so I don't know much about this place. I can tell that you are an experienced adventurer, so I want to ask you some questions about the Central Continent." The captain nodded and said, "Actually, I've just come to the Central Continent from another continent. I don't know much about this place.
The captain's face relaxed a little, and he quickly said, "Sir Wizard, please ask whatever you want to know. If I know anything, I'll definitely tell you!"
"Are there any Knights here?" Abel asked.
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, the captain's face changed. If Abel didn't say he just came to the Central Continent, the captain wouldn't have dared to sit here anymore.
"Knights are the symbol of evil. Knights are taboo in the Central Continent!" The captain looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them except for his teammates.
This time, it was Abel's turn to be stunned. Knights were evil?
Knights followed their own rules. Although there were some scum among the knights, most Knights were just representatives of justice. They protected the human world and were the warriors at the forefront of the war.
Why did they become the symbol of evil in the Central Continent?
"Why?" Abel asked.
