After passing through a few hundred magic towers, Abel saw that the terrain had changed. There were hills here, and there were even taller mountains in the distance.
He also realized that the rocks on the ground were no longer normal rocks. They were iron ores.
As a blacksmith master, he could tell the quality of the iron ores at a glance. They were all very high quality. Only the best iron ores could produce iron ores of this quality.
Iron ores could be seen everywhere here. They were just like normal rocks on the ground.
When he reached the top of the hill, he realized that it was not a hill at all. It was a mine. There were only ores under his feet. They were the purest iron ores.
Wizard Hal's "instantaneous movement" was very fast. Abel was curious, but he couldn't get an answer.
After passing through the hill, Wizard Hal teleported towards a mountain peak.
Frankenstein and Abel followed closely. Abel saw a castle on the mountain peak. As he got closer, he realized that the castle was made of steel. It was a real castle made of steel.
But then again, there were plenty of high-quality iron ores everywhere. A castle made of steel like this was nothing.
It was probably more convenient to make a castle out of steel than a castle made of stone. Needless to say, this castle was made by the dwarves. Abel was familiar with the style.
Just when they got close to the castle, a scanning wave swept over them. It seemed like someone recognized them. A figure appeared on the city wall.
"Hal, you're here. Why didn't you use the teleportation circle?" It was a middle-aged wizard in a robe. He smiled at Wizard Hal and bowed to Abel, "You must be Master Bennett, right? Welcome to the lightning clan's battle fort! "
"Hello, Wizard Davy!" Wizard Hal was very respectful. He bowed and turned to Abel, "Master Bennett, this is Wizard Davy."
Abel bowed, "Sorry for bothering you, Wizard Davy."
Although Wizard Davy was very friendly, Abel could sense the horrible smell of blood coming from him. It was like his entire body was filled with murderous intent, but he knew it wasn't directed at him. Wizard Davy must've just gone through a slaughter.
"Come on, let's go into the castle!" Wizard Davy smiled and bowed.
Frankenstein flashed through the magic circle and followed the two law-defying wizards into the palace of the castle.
There were already 3 law-defying wizards waiting in the castle hall. Abel was shocked. He knew the Lightning clan had law-defying wizards on the frontline, but he didn't expect there to be so many of them.
The three in the hall, the one who came out to greet them, and the one who was on duty at the teleportation circle, there were five law-defying wizards in total.
Abel greeted the law-defying wizards in the hall. Afterward, everyone sat around a long table, and a rank 20 wizard served them drinks.
Abel was a little surprised. Why would a rank 20 wizard do something like this? Rank 20 wizards were extremely powerful in other places.
Wizard Davy smiled and explained, "Master Bennett, this is where the lightning clan is stationed on the frontline. Our mission is to protect this fort and make sure this mountain and the surrounding 10 miles are safe."
Wizard Hal didn't talk much when he came here. It seemed like Wizard Davy had a very high status here.
"Wizard Davy, why are there so many ores here?" Abel was very curious about the front line, so he asked.
Wizard Davy smiled, "Master Bennett, everyone who comes here for the first time will ask the same question. Wizard Davy laughed and pointed at the sky, "There was a dimension crack in the sky, and the demon from beyond came to our world through it. At the same time, the dimension force created countless mineral veins in this area."
Abel continued to ask, "So this fort is guarding these mineral veins?"
Wizard Davy replied, "No, this fort is not guarding the mineral veins. It's guarding the mana veins and mithril veins."
There was no need to talk about mana veins. Magic circles, puppet mechanisms, and training all required mana gems. You could say that the entire central continent was supported by mana gems.
Mithril, on the other hand, was a rare and precious metal material. Its excellent magic conductivity made it widely used in almost all magic items and magic circles.
"This is a godsend!" Abel couldn't help but sigh when he heard that there were two important mineral veins in just a few dozen miles.
Wizard Davy shook his head and lowered his voice, "This is the cursed land, Master Bennett."
Abel was confused, "Why is that, Wizard Davy?"
Wizard Davy replied, "As you can see, the minimum requirement for a permanent wizard here is to be a rank 20 advanced wizard. Those below that can only come here occasionally to complete simple missions. They are not qualified to guard this fort.
Every once in a while, the Evil Kingdom will unleash a terrifying wave of energy. Only rank 20 professionals can guarantee their safety! "Wizard Davy lowered his voice.
Abel continued to ask, "Is this from the demon from beyond?"
He didn't know anything about the front line, so he could only ask Wizard Davy, who had been stationed here for many years.
Wizard Davy explained patiently, "It should be. Normally, this wave of energy is nothing, but every few years, there will be a slightly bigger wave of energy. If there is no Wall of Doomsday, even the front line will be damaged. Every few hundred to a thousand years, there will be an even more intense wave of energy that will directly penetrate the Wall of Doomsday and reach our world."
Abel heard this and immediately thought of the food crisis in the Holy Continent a few years ago. Could that crisis be caused by the demon from beyond?
Abel quickly asked, "Wizard Davy, was there a huge wave of energy a few days ago?"
Wizard Davy nodded, "Yes, Master Bennett. The food supply in the Central Continent has not returned to normal since the wave."
Abel sighed, "It's not just the Central Continent. It's the same in my subcontinent homeland. Because of the wave of energy, there has been a lot of chaos."
Wizard Davy spoke, "Master Bennett, can you tell me the power of your law-defying wizard contract? We need to arrange our fighting force properly for the upcoming battle. " Wizard Davy gazed at Frankenstein, who was standing there in silence.
Abel smiled, "Of course, Frankenstein is a rank 21 law-defying wizard. His power should be higher."
Wizard Davy could just scan Frankenstein with his power of the will if he wanted to know. He just didn't want Abel to misunderstand.
Wizard Davy shook his head, "Master Bennett, I don't know how you increased Wizard Frankenstein's power, but I feel like his power is much higher than rank 21."
Although he couldn't scan with his power of the will, he could tell that Frankenstein's power was about the same as his.
"I told you, Frankenstein's power is higher than rank 21." Abel wouldn't say anything about the equipment bonus. The whole world would go crazy if he found out that all of his spells were increased by rank 7.
He would only use those on his most trusted summons. He wouldn't tell anyone about the rune word before he reached a point where he didn't need to be afraid of anyone.
In this world, rune research was very low level. Most of them were just using the runes themselves. After countless years of research, there were a lot of places that could amplify the effect of the runes themselves. However, the natural rune system was not complete. On top of that, the rune inheritance was cut off, so this world's understanding of runes was still in its infancy.
At least, before the rune stones were researched, there would not be any rune word weapons in this world.
Wizard Davy spoke, "Hal, bring Master Bennett around. After lunch, we'll all move out except for the wizards who stayed behind." Wizard Davy nodded and turned to Wizard Hal. He then bowed to Abel, "We still have some things to prepare. Please take a look around."
With that, Wizard Davy and the other three law-defying wizards left the hall. Only Abel and Wizard Hal were left behind.
Wizard Hal saw Wizard Davy leave and smiled to Abel, "Master Bennett, there are quite a lot of law-defying wizards in the lightning clan, right?"
"The law-defying wizards should be very powerful, right?" Abel himself had just become a law-defying wizard, but he could sense that the 4 law-defying wizards were very powerful.
"Wizard Davy is a rank 23 law-defying wizard. I heard he's about to reach rank 24. The other three law-defying wizards are all rank 22." Wizard Hal didn't want to hide anything, so he answered directly.
After becoming a lightning law-defying wizard, Abel finally understood why lightning law-defying wizards were so powerful. Originally, lightning spells were mainly used for paralysis, but because of the enhancement of the "lightning command," they had reached a level where paralysis and lethality were just as scary.
The lethality of the attack depended on the level of the 'lightning mastery' spell and the mastery of the laws of lightning that a lightning law-defying wizard possessed.
Once you became a lightning law-defying wizard, a rank 1 "lightning command" could increase the power of all lightning spells by 50%. After that, every rank would increase the power of your lightning spells by 12%.
Every rank of law-defying wizard was divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top-level, which corresponded to the fourth level of lightning mastery. Once a law-defying wizard reached the fifth level, they would become a rank 22 law-defying wizard.
Abel couldn't help but sigh, "The lightning clan is so powerful!"
As far as he knew, almost all the law-defying wizards he saw on the central continent were rank 21, but as soon as he entered the frontline, he rarely saw any rank 21 law-defying wizards.
Wizard Hal spoke, "The power of the lightning clan has increased greatly because of your participation. Including me, there are six lightning law-defying wizards. Also, with Wizard Frankenstein, your dragon Druil, and your Beamon giant beast, there are almost nine law-defying wizards in total!" Wizard Hal was a little excited when he thought about this. Maybe the lightning clan would gain even more with Abel's participation.
Abel spoke humbly, "It's a shame that my giant dragon transformation has a time limit. I can't fight for a long time. Also, there's a long cooldown time after each transformation."
Wizard Hal laughed, "Master Bennett, I'll take you to see the mine!" He knew how Abel beat up the four fanatical Knight after transforming into a giant dragon, so he remembered Wizard Davy's order.
After leaving the fort that the lightning clan was guarding, Wizard Hal added an "energy shield" and an "ice armor" to himself.
Wizard Hal spoke to Abel, "Master Bennett, we used the" instantaneous movement "when we came here. We didn't stop halfway. That's fine. Now that we're going to the mine, we need to be careful. You can summon all your power to protect yourself."
As soon as he heard what Wizard Hal said, a spell pattern flashed in his hand, and a "hurricane armor" appeared on his body. After that, he summoned his grey bear and Doff the Beamon. After that, he thought for a bit and summoned his five immortal ravens as well.
In a place like this, the immortal ravens would be able to detect enemies from afar. It would be better for them to warn him.
Frankenstein saw that Abel had a defensive circle on him, so he instinctively did the same.
Wizard Hal was still in the front, and Frankenstein was following behind with Abel and the grey bear. Frankenstein's power of the Will wrapped around the immortal ravens, and the five of them moved in a flash. Doff was following behind with a teleportation spell.
From afar, it looked like Abel was traveling alone, but it was like he was leading an army.
