PS: The story needs to unfold, and so do the transition chapters. Tomorrow, the Holy Knight will appear!
He was teleported to the Central Continent by the super teleportation circle during the day, so he didn't enter the Dark World. However, he didn't sleep either.
After setting up the mana gathering circle, he meditated for an hour and then practiced the Blue Dragon's' Ice Crystal Breathing Technique '. After experiencing his body's attributes slowly increasing, he focused his attention on the pineal gland between his eyes.
He carefully opened a crack on the world stone fragment, and the crystal angel statue appeared.
The crystal angel statue was as pure as a crystal, but now, a small part of it had turned golden. As the world stone fragment's suppression decreased, a string of prayers began to appear in his brain.
Abel thought to himself as he looked at the crystal angel statue, "So the world stone only separated the crystal angel statue from his soul, but it didn't separate the long-distance prayers!"
He also had some doubts in his heart because he didn't know if what he was doing was considered theft. Moreover, it was stealing other people's information.
"Whatever, I can't stop it anyway. But what if the entire crystal angel statue turned golden?" He thought to himself.
There weren't many devout believers in this world, and Abel was sure that the source of the prayers was humans.
Although there were churches among the humans, they weren't very powerful. They were suppressed by the Wizard Union, and their priests could only use some low-level healing spells.
Most importantly, those healing spells could only be used on normal people. Knights, warriors, and wizards couldn't accept the effects of healing spells. Therefore, those powerful figures wouldn't support the church, and it was very difficult for the church to develop.
Under such circumstances, where did the hundreds of thousands of prayers and the most devout believers come from?
He didn't know how to explain it, but he knew they must have come from the Central Continent. He already had a crystal angel statue when he was in the Holy Continent. It was just that as soon as he teleported to the Central Continent, the crystal angel statue that was like a decoration in the Holy Continent immediately received the prayers.
Although he was already a rank 16 wizard, he didn't want to face a powerful being or a god with hundreds of thousands of followers.
After that, he tried to use the world stone fragment to completely cut off the connection between the crystal angel statue and the worshippers. However, no matter how hard he tried, the world stone fragment couldn't do it.
In the morning, Abel got up and washed his face before putting on a hooded robe to hide his face. When he opened the door, he saw the manager of the Moses Auction House, Kinglake, and Intermediate Alchemist Jose.
Kinglake bowed, "Honorable wizard, I have good news for you. The Moses Auction House has the materials you need. We invite you to the auction house to discuss the details!"
"Oh?" Abel's interest was piqued. It seemed like the original soul nourishing potion and gecko potion were extinct in the Holy Continent, but they still existed in the Central Continent.
One had to know that the original Master Level Potion Recipe would give him a lot of alchemy energy every time he refined it. Moreover, the effects of the potion were incomparable to the improved version.
Abel nodded, "Alright, let's go to the auction house then!"
Kinglake was very excited when he heard Abel agree. After Abel left yesterday, he contacted the Moses Auction House headquarter. When they heard that an elite alchemist who didn't want to reveal his identity had appeared in the Moses Auction House in Silan City, they immediately asked him to do everything he could to make this person stay.
Therefore, the next morning, Kinglake personally came to Abel's hotel room to wait for him. Intermediate Alchemist Jose, on the other hand, volunteered to come. He couldn't even focus on his work if he wanted to see an elite alchemist again.
When Abel arrived at the same VIP room in the Moses Auction House, he saw an old man with a boy around ten years old. There was also an intermediate wizard standing behind them.
"My name is Garrett Moses, the owner of the Moses Auction House. This is my grandson, Mervyn. I've just arrived in Sland City, so I didn't come to greet you. Please forgive me!" Old Garrett said with a bow.
"Nice to meet you!" Abel replied blandly.
It seemed like the owner of the auction house had a favor to ask of him. Abel didn't care about that. He just wanted to know if the ingredients were here.
"Last night, I contacted dozens of branches and asked some friends for the materials you requested. Finally, I've prepared five sets for you. This is the best I can do!" Garrett continued.
Afterward, Garrett turned to the intermediate wizard behind him and nodded. The intermediate wizard then took out a portal bag and placed it on the table.
Abel stepped up and scanned the bag with his power of the will. There was no power of the will lock on the bag, so his power of the will could directly go in. The ingredients he wanted were inside.
Since the recipe of the soul nourishing potion and the gecko potion were from the Holy Continent, if he wanted to use local ingredients to make these potions, he would have to use substitutes.
Luckily, Abel had stored large amounts of Holy Continent ingredients in his holy portal ring, Valaya's ring, before he left the Holy Continent. If he didn't have a lot, he could still make the potions according to the original recipe.
Inside the portal bag, there were many ancient materials that had gone extinct in the Holy Continent. Abel's face began to fill up with a satisfied look.
For normal alchemists, only five sets of ingredients of this level was not enough for one potion. It was already extremely lucky to make one potion.
This was why there were so few elite alchemists. Alchemists needed to keep making potions of the same level as their level, and the higher the level, the more precious and rare the ingredients would be.
On top of that, the success rate was very low, so it was extremely difficult for an alchemist to get even a sliver of alchemy energy.
Other races were not that bad, but humans had a long lifespan, so it was even harder for them to become elite alchemists.
There were a lot of people who trained as a wizard and an alchemist at the same time, but once they split their attention between two professions, their chances of success would be even lower. After all, both professions required a lot of time to be a wizard and an alchemist.
Although a Sorcerer's lifespan had been extended, most Sorcerers spent their days in a frenzy of cultivation. Many Sorcerers lived in isolation from the rest of the world before they became official Sorcerers.
"Mr. Garrett, I'm very happy with the ingredients. You can name your price!" Abel tapped his portal bag and said.
"May I know your name?" Garrett hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Mr. Garrett, my identity is not important. You can call me Bennett. Yes, Alchemist Bennett!" Abel lowered his voice.
Garrett heard this unfamiliar name and looked towards Alchemist Jose. Alchemist Jose shook his head. He had never heard of this name before.
Garrett then looked towards Wizard Jose, and he shook his head as well.
Garrett was still a little hesitant. Such a valuable ingredient and his decision was a gamble. If he trusted the wrong person, it would bring disaster to his family.
But it was also because of this unfamiliar name that he felt a little relieved. Before he came here, he had already done some research on the Stan Empire and the three elite alchemists around.
He was sure that Abel was not one of the three elite alchemists. They all had powerful backgrounds. If what he was going to take out was leaked, he and his family would be in big trouble.
If the Moses Family was not in such a critical situation, he would not have made such a risky decision.
According to Kinglake, Abel didn't even have any gold coins and needed to be exchanged. It was very likely that he didn't even have a magic card. Either that, or the identity of a magic card was very dangerous and he didn't want to expose it.
This meant that Abel was an elite alchemist who was in big trouble and had to hide his identity. From this point, Garrett was more confident in a lone elite alchemist like him.
"All of you, leave!" He glanced at the people around him and said.
Everyone knew that he was going to have a private conversation with Abel, so they all bowed and left the VIP room. Only Garrett, his grandson, and Abel were left.
Garrett pushed the portal bag on the table towards Abel, "The prestigious Mr. Alchemist, these ingredients are for free. In exchange, you can make a potion for me!"
Abel's voice was calm under the hood, but it gave people a strong sense of confidence, "Mr. Garrett, these ingredients are quite valuable, but I don't lack money. These ingredients are not enough for me to make a potion!"
Of course, Garrett didn't know Abel's true alchemy skills. At least in the Holy Continent, the price of a Master Alchemist was countless times more than these ingredients.
Garrett introduced his family, "Mr. Alchemist, the Moses family is a business family. Although we are nobles, we have always been ostracized by the nobles of the empire. The big nobles of the empire have been eyeing our family's wealth for a long time. Recently, the third prince wanted to expand his power, so he needed a large amount of wealth. Therefore, he set his eyes on the Moses family!"
Abel frowned. He was being targeted by the Blizzards. Although one of their elite wizards was dead and the other was injured, the grudge between them had grown even bigger. No matter how confident he was, he wasn't confident enough to face a wizard organization from the Central Continent with his current ability.
Just think about the fact that the Blizzards sent a rank 17 and a rank 18 wizard for the first time. They were basically invincible in the Holy Continent, but here, they were like hired thugs.
If he didn't push the emperor of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis into a corner in the Holy Continent, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of a rank 18 wizard old man. But here, rank 18 wizards could do anything they wanted.
If Wizard Godwin wasn't so confident that he would fall into a trap, he wouldn't have been able to injure him so easily.
More than 2000 crossbow bolts could only injure Wizard Godwin's right hand. If a few more rank 18 wizards came, how was he going to deal with them?
Therefore, he didn't want to get involved in any conflicts. What he wanted the most right now was to get in touch with the lightning clan and ask for protection.
"Mr. Alchemist, there's no need for you to show up. The Moses family has a history with a Mr. Elder in the Land of Ice. That Mr. Elder has promised to help the Moses family once!" Garrett quickly added after seeing Abel's reaction.
Abel lowered his voice, "If the Elder of the Land of Ice Frost is willing to help the Moses family, then isn't the problem solved?"
Garrett explained, "The Mr. Elder will only help once, and that little bit of friendship will be used up. Therefore, my family has been keeping this promise. Now that the Third Prince is forcing me to use it, I don't want to ask the Mr. Elder to help me deal with the Third Prince. I want my grandson, Mervyn, to become a disciple of the Mr. Elder!"
Abel finally understood what Garrett was trying to say. Garrett was a businessman, after all. He wanted to maximize his profits. Asking the Mr. Elder to help could only stop people from spying on the Moses family once, but once Mervyn became a disciple of the Mr. Elder, no one would dare to do anything to the Moses family anymore.
However, Abel glanced at the little boy, Mervyn, who was a little scared. He couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Didn't any wizard tell Garrett that his grandson didn't have the potential to become a wizard?
"Mr. Alchemist, as you can see, my grandson doesn't have the potential to become a wizard!" Garrett gently patted Mervyn's head and continued, "It's not easy to get a wizard's potential. Many families would marry their daughters off to wizards, even if they're apprentices. Even so, it's very rare to find someone with the potential to become a wizard."
Abel nodded. Wizard potential was the most difficult thing to explain. It was more common for nobles to have it. Maybe it was because nobles were more talented people who had it after many years of marriage.
Garrett said with a bitter smile, "The Moses family has always had the Mr. Elder's promise for the past hundred years, but we've never had a single member with the potential to become a wizard, not even among the direct descendants!"
A determined look flashed across his face. He had been trying to test Abel's temperament with words since the beginning. Now, he was finally going to say the most important thing.
"The Moses Pawn Shop received an ancient item from an adventurer. We found an alchemy potion formula in it. It was my son who found the formula, and he gave it to me. However, I haven't been able to find an alchemist who can make this potion formula!" Garrett carefully took out a black metal plate and placed it on the table as he spoke.
Abel picked up the metal plate. His Grandmaster Blacksmith instinct allowed him to sense the material of this metal plate. It was a special material that he had never seen before in the Holy Continent.
Some words were written on the surface of the iron plate with small strokes. It was a recipe. Although there were less than a hundred materials in the recipe, the complexity of the refinement was beyond the grasp of a Senior Alchemist.
"Talent Potion," a potion that could increase the user's talent and basic power of the will!
The name and description of the potion were very simple, but the effect was enough to make Abel's jaw drop.
The reason why wizards were so rare was because the requirements to become a wizard were too high. The basic power of the will was the power of the will that a person had when they were born. Although it could increase slightly as they grew older, the range of the power of the will was the limit.
However, the amount of spirit power a person had after birth would determine the general range of their spirit power. This potion could increase the basic spirit power. If it could really turn an ordinary person into a wizard with no talent, the importance of this formula was enough to make many people go crazy.
However, after seeing the ingredients in the formula, Abel knew there wouldn't be many of them. Most of the ingredients were extremely rare, as he had read about them in his new potion book.
From the potion books he got, he could understand the difference between the Central Continent and the Holy Continent in terms of alchemy materials, so 3 beginner gems were definitely worth it.
He didn't know if Abel had asked an alchemist to look at the formula, but even if he did, the alchemist's skills wouldn't be too high.
This was because the 'talent potion' was actually a kind of potion that worked on the soul. It was extremely difficult to make a soul potion. If an Advanced Alchemist were to make such a formula, unless that Advanced Alchemist was a child of destiny, they would fail no matter how many times they made it.
"Mr. Garrett, do you want your grandson Mervyn to take the talent potion?" Abel asked as he played with the metal plate in his hand.
He had just scanned this kid. Although his power of the will was not enough to become a wizard, it was still quite strong among normal people. It was not a bad choice.
"Yes, can you help me?" Garrett asked nervously.
To be honest, the reason he made this decision was because even if his family had avoided being spied on by the elders, there would still be other spies.
The fact that Abel wanted to exchange intermediate gems for gold coins meant he did not have an organization behind him. If he did, he would not have to exchange intermediate gems for gold coins. It was obviously not worth it.
It was a rare opportunity to meet an elite alchemist like this. Garrett was a businessman. It was his instinct to take risks. At the same time, his instinct told him to trust this mysterious elite alchemist after seeing Abel.
"You can pay for the ingredients, but the reward is too little. It's not worth it for me to help you!" Although Abel agreed to Garrett's request, he also pointed out that he would need to pay more.
"Mr. Alchemist, I've already prepared the ingredients. As for the reward, I have mansions in Silan City and the royal city of Bojin City. You can choose whichever one you want. Also, I'll give you the metal plate with the formula!" Said Garrett with a face full of joy.
"Give me the ingredients and arrange an alchemy room for me here. Also, clean up the mansions in Silan City for me!" Abel nodded.
"Mr. Alchemist, our family has been secretly collecting the ingredients ever since we got the formula. We only have 6 sets so far. Do you think it's enough?" Garrett took out a portal bag and handed it over as he asked worriedly.
"If I'm satisfied with the price, I'll try my best to give you a 'talent potion'!" Abel lowered his voice.
He put away the portal bag. It seemed like portal bags in the Central Continent were not as precious as the ones in the Holy Continent. Of course, a family that could run an auction house in 10 cities in the Holy Continent was not a normal family.
He was already guessing the rank of the elder in the Land of Ice. If the Moses family could recruit an intermediate wizard, it shouldn't be a problem for them to hire an elite wizard. If they still needed the help of the elder in this situation, it meant that the elder's rank must be very scary.
This made him even more afraid to expose his own information, because who knew if the Moses family would tell the elder about him afterwards.
Even he was tempted by the 'talent potion.' With this potion, he could make his family members become wizards and enjoy the longevity of a wizard.
Every wizard had descendants. If he found out that he had the talent potion, he would be in big trouble. Of course, if Garrett spread the news, his family would be in big trouble as well.
Since the ingredients were very precious, Abel didn't leave the Moses Pawnshop to make the talent potion. This was to make Garrett feel better.
He was using Alchemist Jose's alchemy room, so it was very well-equipped.
The process of making the talent potion was very troublesome, but it also depended on the person. After Abel ignited the ability of the world stone fragment, he didn't need to use any other ability. He didn't even use the 'Akara alchemy bottle.' He just used the tools in the alchemy room and followed the recipe. He succeeded on his first try.
The other 5 sets of ingredients were put into the 'Valaya's ring.' He didn't want to waste them. If he went all out, he could make a talent potion that was at least golden.
A business family like the Moses family had only collected 6 sets of ingredients after so many years. It seemed like the ingredients for the talent potion were very hard to come by, so he didn't want to waste them.
He didn't have much time to make the talent potion, but he still stayed in the alchemy room for half a day before he came out.
Garrett quickly stepped up and stared at the potion in Abel's hand, "How was it, Mr. Alchemist?"
Abel handed the potion in his hand to Garrett, "It was a success!"
Garrett excitedly took the potion, "That's great! There's hope for the Moses family!"
In order to keep it a secret, only Garrett and his grandson Mervyn were present. Garrett opened the potion and said to Mervyn, "Mervyn, drink it quickly!"
Mervyn took the potion and drank it in one gulp.
Abel was also paying attention to Mervyn. He had already analyzed the potion, and it was indeed used to increase one's basic power of the will. However, he had never actually used it before. Seeing how Mervyn drank it would save him a bottle of potion for testing.
Not long after Mervyn drank the talent potion, Mervyn's face turned red, and he was sweating profusely.
Mervyn was young, but he was tough. He felt pain, but he didn't make a sound.
Abel noticed that Mervyn's power of the will was slowly increasing. The talent potion was indeed effective.
After half an hour, Mervyn finally couldn't take the pain anymore and fainted. The potion's effect immediately stopped.
"What a pity!" Abel shook his head slightly. If Mervyn had some endurance training, he would've been able to last longer. Although he had already met the requirements of a wizard, his talent was still considered low.
Garrett saw that Mervyn had fainted and immediately held him in his arms, "Mervyn, what's wrong?"
Mervyn was his hope. He lifted his head and looked at Abel.
Abel said, "Mervyn is fine, Mister Garrett. He has met the requirements of a wizard's will!"
Garrett relaxed and said to Abel, "Thank you very much. I'll have Kinglake take you to the villa. He will take care of all the paperwork for you. Don't worry!"
Abel bowed slightly and said, "Goodbye!"
Garrett saw that Abel was about to leave and quickly took out a black card, "Please wait a moment. This is an anonymous magic card. Please accept it!"
Abel did not refuse. He took the card and looked at it. There was a number on it. It was five hundred thousand gold coins. He didn't care about the number of gold coins, but he was more interested in the anonymous magic card.
Back in the Holy Continent, only some large organizations could get their hands on anonymous magic gold cards. It was very difficult for an individual to get one.
The mansion that Abel got was very big. It was so big that it was beyond his expectations. There were more than 20 servants here, and there was also a professional butler named Kern.
The villa was located in a noble's residence. It was the best location in Sland City in terms of environment and safety.
Kinglake took care of all the paperwork for Abel. He used the name Bennett. As a wizard, Sland City wouldn't stop him even if he owned the villa anonymously. This was the privilege of a wizard.
However, Abel didn't stay there. He left some gold coins for Kern and headed straight to the Wizard Union in Sland City. He was going to use the teleportation circle there to leave.
He was going to use the villa as a backup for when he needed to hide his identity.
The Wizard Union in Sland City was very big, but there weren't many wizards inside. Most of them were workers of the Wizard Union, and most of them were not wizards. They were just normal people who served wizards.
"Don't block the way!" Just when he was about to walk into the Wizard Union, a loud voice emerged from behind him, and a giant hand reached towards him.
Abel took a step forward and dodged the big hand. When he turned around, he saw a werewolf standing behind him, wondering how he had dodged that push.
The appearance of a worgen wasn't a big deal. Abel had seen all kinds of creatures in Silan City before, but the worgen in front of him had a beginner wizard badge on its chest. That was what surprised him.
He knew the Central Continent was very accepting of the orcs, but he didn't expect there to be an orc in the wizard profession.
Seeing that Abel was still standing in front of him, the worgen reached out its hand again. This was why Abel was wearing a hooded robe to hide his wizard badge. Otherwise, this worgen wouldn't have dared to push an elite wizard.
Abel ignited the energy in his wizard core. A terrifying energy rushed towards the worgen and suppressed its weak wizard core. At the same time, its body was pressed to the ground, and it couldn't even breathe properly.
With his wizard core formation rate, he could even suppress the wizard core of an intermediate wizard, let alone a beginner wizard. This was the benefit of having a high wizard core formation rate.
The worgen's face was filled with fear. It knew it had messed with a wizard it shouldn't have messed with. At the same time, it was blaming Abel in its heart. Why did he have to hide such power?
Abel didn't look at the worgen for too long. The energy just now was only targeted at this worgen, and it didn't affect anyone else. After he left, the worgen could finally breathe again.
The teleportation circle here was on the side of the Wizard Union hall. Abel stepped on the teleportation circle, and a scanning energy scanned his wizard badge on his chest. This was to verify if he was a member of the Wizard Union. Only members of the Wizard Union could use this teleportation circle.
If he wasn't a member of the Wizard Union, he would have to get permission from the Wizard Union to use the teleportation circle, and it would be very expensive.
He connected his power of the will to the teleportation circle and quickly connected to the Land of Thunder Fall. But soon, his face turned sour. The teleportation circle in the Land of Thunder Fall was blocked.
At the same time, an elite wizard in the Land of Frost received a message from Abel about using the teleportation circle in Sland City. This message was then sent to Wizard Godwin in Frost City.
Abel didn't know any of this, and the elite wizard didn't know that this rank sixteen wizard named Abel was a prodigy wizard under the age of 20. He was only doing this because he owed a favor to his friend, Wizard Godwin.
