"Take care of Wizard Abel on your own. If you can't, then there's no need for your team to exist. I'm still missing some important materials for my research!" Elder Marz lowered his voice as he looked at Wizard Emir with greedy eyes while holding Wizard Godwin in his hand.
If Wizard Emir couldn't take care of Abel, then he would have a reason to turn Wizard Emir into his research material as well.
There were three elders in the Blizzard clan, but at this level, they rarely made a move. The only one who was active was Elder Marz, so no one dared to deny his words.
Wizard Emir endured the chill and bowed, "Yes, elder. I'll go find Wizard Abel myself and avenge the dead wizards of the Blizzard clan!"
"That better be the case!" Elder Marz's voice still lingered in the hall as he disappeared with Wizard Godwin in a flash of white light.
Wizard Emir murmured to himself, "Wizard Abel!" His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
In the morning of Sland City, Abel walked out of the basement. He was going to the Wizard Union today to gather some information.
Steward Kern bowed and sent him off. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a familiar voice.
"Wizard Abel, I know you live here!" The priest was greeting him.
Abel was a little confused as to how the priest recognized him. He had his face covered with a hood.
The priest saw his confusion and pointed at his magic staff. Although the "leaf" rune on the staff didn't look like anything special, it had a very ancient feel to it.
The priest said proudly, "Wizard Abel, I'm afraid all the big families in Sland City already know the location of your mansion. I'm just the first one to come!"
It turned out that it wasn't a big deal to have a new wizard in Sland City, but Abel didn't leave after his fight with the Holy Knight yesterday. The "leaf" magic staff in his hand, as well as his disguise when he entered Sland City, was discovered.
Abel looked at Priest Big Horn, "Priest Big Horn, what do you need me for?"
"Wizard Abel, can we talk inside?" The priest looked around. He didn't want to talk outside the door.
Steward Kern didn't show any interest in his master's new name. To him, it didn't matter whether his master was Abel or Bennett.
"Priest Giant Horn, please come in!" Abel made an inviting gesture.
After entering the villa's hall and sitting down, the servant served the juice and bowed before leaving, leaving only Abel and the priest.
The priest asked softly, "Wizard Abel, are you interested in ancient ruins?"
"Ancient ruins?" Abel was caught off guard. He didn't explore many ancient ruins, but he did get a lot of good stuff. Judging from the priest's reaction, it seemed like he had something to ask of him.
"Ancient ruins are left behind by powerful figures in ancient times. It doesn't matter if you are a wizard or a priest, unless you are a real genius, you can't keep improving in your limited lifespan. Normal wizards and priests can no longer level up after reaching rank 16 or 17.
As for those who are more advanced, they all have their own adventures. There are many ancient ruins in the vast Central Continent, and most of them have yet to be discovered. There are treasures that can increase your power, powerful weapons, and even powerful holy objects! "The priest's voice was full of temptation.
He thought Abel just came to the Central Continent from a subcontinent, so he didn't know what an ancient ruin was, so he quickly explained.
Abel could tell that the priest didn't do any research on him. If he did, he wouldn't be talking about being a genius in front of him.
According to the information he had from the Wizard Union, an elite wizard under 20 years old was definitely a genius. Even Abel knew there was a lot of exaggeration in this.
"Priest Big Horn, from what you've said, an ancient ruin must be very valuable information. It's not easy to get it!" Abel pretended like he didn't know what the priest was thinking.
"Wizard Abel, I've come to you for a very good reason. My two friends and I found an ancient ruin, but there are a lot of puppets inside. Those puppets are very hard to deal with, so I want to invite you to join us in the exploration!" The priest finally revealed his intention.
"How do we split the loot?" Abel asked directly.
"Of course, we'll split it according to our contribution. Don't worry, with Johnson's help, you will get a lot!" The priest continued to tempt.
"Priest Big Horn, where is the ancient ruin?" Abel asked again.
"You'll know when we arrive!" The priest's wrinkled face twitched a bit, "You'll know when we arrive!"
From his point of view, inviting Abel to join them was a success.
The gathering point was in Sland City, which was why the priest was here. It was also why he joined the battle with the Holy Knight.
Abel saw the priest's two companions in a tavern in the city.
"This is Ruin. He's a Barbarian, a close combat expert!" Priest Giant Horn pointed at a tall, burly man in tattered leather armor who was drinking wine in his seat.
"Nice to meet you!" Abel bowed politely.
"Big Horn, where did you find a human wizard? His spells can move those monsters?" Ruin asked in a loud voice.
"Ruin, lower your voice!" The priest couldn't help but remind him.
It was a good thing they were in a private room. If they were in the main hall, they would've attracted some attention.
Ruin lowered his voice as he looked at Abel, "Don't drag us down, human wizard. Otherwise, I'll chop you in half!"
Abel knew this Barbarian Ruin was an idiot, so he didn't say anything. He just glanced at the priest.
He didn't trust a companion like this. He wouldn't leave his back to someone like this.
"Wizard Abel, don't worry. Ruin is very powerful. With him protecting you, you can cast your spells without worry!" The priest quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Ruin, Wizard Abel is very powerful, and he has the help of a powerful contracted beast. If you don't want to end up with nothing like last time, you better be nice!" Afterward, he turned to Ruin and said.
"This is Leon from the elves. He is a powerful Druil!" The priest then introduced the other one to Abel.
Leon didn't look like an elf. Instead, he looked more like a Barbarian. If it weren't for his pointy ears, no one would've thought he was an elf.
"Wizard Abel, I am half-elf Leon!" Leon stood up and bowed to Abel.
"I am human Abel!" Abel bowed back.
Abel was very curious about these two companions. He knew what a Druil was. He had the heritage of a Druil himself, but since he was studying Knight, Wizard, and Priest, he didn't have the time to study the heritage of a Druil. If he didn't specialize in Druil, many of his spells could be replaced by wizard spells.
At the same time, Abel was surprised that a half-elf could inherit a Druil. Although he didn't know much about the elves in the Central Continent, every Druil in the Holy Continent had to be a real elf to inherit it.
Of course, he was more curious about Ruin. Although Ruin didn't treat him well, he was still interested in the Barbarian profession.
It was just that with Ruin's attitude, it wouldn't be easy to find out more. He would have to wait until the battle started.
"Wizard Abel, I can feel a familiar energy from you. Do you have some kind of relationship with the elves?" Half-elf Leon asked curiously to Abel.
"Druil Leon, I just came to the Central Continent from the sub-continent. My relationship with the elves was very good!" Abel said with a smile.
He began to wonder if it was the Druil soul in his body that made half-elf Leon feel something. Or maybe it was because he was wearing an elven holy object.
"You are a friend of the elves, so you are a friend of mine!" Half-elf Leon said in joy.
"Everyone, let's go. We still need 2 days to get there. Let's talk on the way!" Priest Giant Horn interrupted the conversation.
"Let's go!" Ruin was getting impatient. He didn't know why, but he just didn't like Abel.
After they walked out of the bar, half-elf Leon summoned 3 mad wolves and looked towards Abel in embarrassment, "Wizard Abel, I'm so sorry. You will have to find your own mount!"
Abel knew half-elf Leon was not giving him a hard time. It was just that the Druil could only summon 3 mad wolves, and half-elf Leon could let others ride his mad wolves. This meant he was very good at controlling them.
Back in the Holy Continent, Lady Carrie never dared to let her companions ride her mad wolf. Just by hearing its name, one could tell that it was very irritable. It was fine for its owner to ride it, but once someone else rode it, it would immediately go crazy.
"Don't worry, I have a mount!" Abel said with a smile and summoned Black Wind.
As a Druil, half-elf Leon looked at the way Abel summoned Black Wind strangely. This was a typical Druil summoning method. Keep your summon in your portal bag and summon it when you need it.
However, he only glanced at it and didn't say much. Who didn't have secrets?
The 4 of them left Sland City on their mounts. As soon as they were out, Abel began to feel nervous. He knew he had fought with the Blizzards a few times, so he had a death grudge with them. It was fine in Sland City, but once they were out of the city without the protection circle, they could be attacked by the Blizzards at any time.
Of course, he would not stay in Sland City because of this. The priest's invitation was a rare opportunity to explore the ancient sight.
If he didn't expose Johnson's power in Sland City, the priest would not have invited him.
Most importantly, Abel was only a rank 16 wizard. Even if he had lightning talent, his power was still manageable. If he was a rank 17 or 18 wizard with lightning talent, Priest Big Horn would never bring such a dangerous wizard with him on this adventure.
Although Abel was very brave in the battle with the Holy Knight, his weakness was also very obvious. As a rank 16 wizard, his spells could not do much damage to a higher rank caster.
Rank suppression was a fact that was hard to change. It didn't matter if you were a wizard, a priest, or a Druil.
"Everyone, wait. Ruin, give the mad wolf a buff!" Half-elf Leon said to Barbarian Ruin.
Barbarian Ruin gazed at Abel proudly. He then raised his head and yelled. He reached his hands towards the sky, and a surge of energy shot out from his body. With his body as the center, a circle of golden light shot out.
All of a sudden, Abel felt his body heat up. He felt his body become stronger, and his mana increased by a lot.
This was the "battle system." Abel immediately knew the name of this spell. He also knew that Barbarian Ruin had the same inheritance as the Barbarians in the Dark World.
"Wizard Abel, Ruin's Barbarian talent spell can make the mad wolf faster and run longer!" Half-elf Leon saw Abel's curiosity, so he explained with a smile.
"Human wizard, you're lucky!" Barbarian Ruin raised his head and said to Abel.
Abel didn't care about Barbarian Ruin's provocation. He was thinking about whether he could learn this spell. But looking at Barbarian Ruin's face, it seemed like it would be very difficult to see the inheritance of the Barbarians.
Abel suddenly thought of his "tornado (damaged)." It was inspired by the top-level Barbarian skill. Maybe he could use it to trade with Barbarian Ruin.
After coming to the Central Continent and seeing so many powerful professions, Abel no longer cared about the Knight skills he learned. The "tornado (damaged)" was just a technique to use force. It was very suitable for Barbarian Ruin since he used dual axes.
It was just that the "tornado (damaged)" needed special conditions to cast, so he couldn't do it right now. He had to wait for the right opportunity.
Black Wind carried Abel and followed behind the team. Even with the "battle system" buff, the mad wolf's stamina and life force were greatly increased, but it was still not as fast as Black Wind.
