Chapter 185 Found
“Black Wind, let’s go!” Abel turned and hopped back on the back of Black Wind. Those wizards had only settled here for a while. He had to keep the investigation going.
Black Wind sniffed the air again. After he confirmed the direction, he sped towards it. This time Black Wind did not even go through roads. It just ran straight through the farms. Abel could see there were horse footprints on the fields, which confirmed the direction that he was going was correct.
Suddenly, the ident.i.ty card on his waist began to vibrate; a Wizard wanted to contact him. Abel took out his ident.i.ty card from his waist. After he connected with it, an unfamiliar voice came through, “Is this Abel?”
“Who are you?” Abel asked in confusion. He never heard this voice before, why was he contacting him.
“I am Yveline’s disciple Carrol, what are you now?” Said the voice.
Rank 5 novice wizard Carrol? Of course, Abel had heard this name before. He lived in Yveline magic tower for a few days, although he had never seen novice wizard Carrol before, he met his follower. That follower’s name was Ethan, and his att.i.tude was horrible.
Abel didn’t seem to have much connection with Wizard Carrol, why did he want to know his location? Abel couldn’t help but feel like something was odd, but he didn’t think of it much anyway. This was the first time all the magic towers had sent out their low ranking Wizard for a mission together, so Abel thought there might be some special arrangement that required his location.
“I just left the mine in Tezcuca mountain. Did something happen?” Abel followed.
“Wow, that was fast; you already arrived at Tezcuca mountain?” Novice Wizard sounded a little shocked as he proceeded to say. “We had discovered some trace of the enemies, so we were just trying to gather everyone up. We’ll be waiting for you at Lenida mountain.”
“Lenida mountain?” Abel took out the map from his portal bag to look at the location. Then he replied, “Ok, I’ll be there in a moment.”
“Quick, we are waiting for you.” Novice Wizard Carlos added and cut off the ident.i.ty card.
Abel closely examined the location on the map again. Suddenly, he felt his heart moved; it was exactly where Black Wind was heading.
He took out his ident.i.ty card again and began to call Camille. After a while, their ident.i.ty cards were connected.
“Camille, It’s Abel!”
“Abel, where are you?” The sound of Camille emerged.
“I am heading towards Lenida mountain.” Said Abel.
“What are you doing there?” Camille asked in a puzzled tone.
“Where are you now?” Abel was scared in his heart that things might turn out like how he had initially imagined. But he didn’t want to tell Camille just now. He hasn’t fully understood what was going on, so it was still better for him to go take a look first.
“I’m only just got out, and Carlos as well. The teacher ordered us to investigate separately. So if you have news, just let us know, never attack when you discover an enemy. Contact us first, and we will attack together.” Said Camille in worry.
“Ok, I’ll let you when I have news!”
Abel cut off his ident.i.ty card, and a mocking facial expression emerged. He then began to mumble. “Carrols, I hope you have enough money to buy your rank increasing potions!”
As far as Abel knew, novice wizard Carrol was not like novice wizard Sam, who was also stuck at rank 5. Novice wizard Carrol had always been madly obsessed with money, and those rank increasing potions for official wizards. Abel just did not expect he would sell his information this time. That was just nasty.
But he could not blame Carrol for this nasty thing he did. Carrol was not closed to Abel, if he could successfully lure Abel into the place he had stated, the Duchy of Keyen would accept his condition. The action of sacrificing the life of a novice Wizard, in exchange for the chance of becoming an official wizard himself, made total sense in his heart.
Abel was already certain in his heart that those attacking wizards would be waiting for him in Lenida mountain. He just didn’t know how many of them would be there.
Black Wind’s speed was very quick. He was already close to Lenida mountain after around 30 minutes. When there was still some distance, he took out his telescope to examine the tip of Lenida mountain in detail.
Lenida mountain was medium size rocky mountain with almost no trees. Abel knew it was perfect for an ambush at first glance. In the left of the mountain, there was a cave filled with rocks
Through this telescope, he could see a white robed wizard desperately looking around in the cave. It was Novice Wizard Carrol. He seemed like he was waiting for someone. Abel turned his telescope to examine his surroundings. But he was not expecting Black Wind to arrive at the destination this quick. He could already see the hidden wizards behind rocks inside the cave. He had seen 5 of them poking out so far. It seemed like they really couldn’t risk the chance of losing against Abel this time.
A cold smirk emerged from Abel’s face as he took out Harry’s bow from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag. This bow could shoot very far. If his opponent did not have a ‘frozen armor’ to protect them, one shot was more than enough to kill a low ranking wizard.
Horace was a rank 5 novice wizard, and his teacher was Wizard Ston. Ever since Wizard Ston became wanted by the Wizard Union, his life had been flipped upside down. He had turned from a respectable intermediate Wizard’s disciple to a hated by many dark Wizard’s disciples.
On top of that, the Wizard Union had come to him multiple times and asked questions about his teacher Wizard Ston’s condition, which made his life very miserable.
This revenge operation was set up by another rank 11 Wizard from the Duchy of Keyen, Wizard Stanley. The team was almost entirely made up of Wizard Ston’s disciples. The highest ranked Horace was one of the main forces. Wizard Stanley agreed to Horace, as long as he could kill Abel after the attack, Keyen’s information system would help him return to return to Keyen. Afterward, he could become a disciple of Wizard Stanley.
In regards to the other 14 wizards, their chance of returning to the Duchy of Keyen would be very small from the perspectives of Horace. After they had divided themselves into 2 teams and separately attacked 2 mines, they realized the alert circle had been triggered. Although their actions were quick and didn’t get captured during the attack, the teleportation circle to go back had already been closed down. There was no way the Duchy of Keyen would spend that many resources on sending those low ranking wizards back, so Horace truly believed that he might be the only survivor of the team. All the other wizards would be sacrificed.
To Horace, this operation was a good chance to turn his life around. He just needed to kill a rank 3 wizard, and especially after he got insider information from Wizard Carrol, he was certain that Abel couldn’t escape.
As he was casually sitting on a rock, joy filled his heart. Those glorious respectable days would soon return to him after he became the disciple of Wizard Stanley.
But there was one thing he did not know, and that was all the other 14 wizards low ranking wizards had also gotten their own individual promise. Some were promised large amounts of resources; some were being kept as a disciple. They were all told that an official path was left for them to retreat.
These 15 low ranking wizards were already thrown into the dark wizard situation because of Wizard Ston, so there was no way the other Wizard form the Duchy of Keyen would accept them. They were all being used like trash. This attack operation was created to not only impact the resource of the Duchy of Carmel, but it was also created to officially get rid of these wizards with unclean names.
The moment the teleportation array was shut, the fate of these 15 wizards were already set. There was no way they could escape the search of the information reporting system of the 4 Duchies.
Horace was still innocently dreaming about his bright future as he sat on a rock. He suddenly heard a scream, followed by groans of agony.
Horace quickly hid behind the big rock and shouted, “attack!”
“Nice job Carrol, you had gathered all of them together. I will definitely let the superior know about your good work,” Abel’s voice came from outside the cave.
“Carrol, you betrayed us!” Horace was not surprised at all. Since Carrol would betray his fellow Wizards from his own Duchy, of course, he was more than capable of betraying wizards from other Duchy.
