Abe the Wizard

Chapter 566 Clean Up Mission

Abel didn’t know what the clean up mission was, but he thought it was okay from the look on k3305’s face. Then, he then also took out his military card and focused his power of will on it.

His military card allowed him to accept missions in the mission hall. Then he selected the clean up mission, and more details appeared:

“Clean up mission: large number of orcs had gathered 20 miles away. They are getting ready to build a city.

Mission demand: drive away all orcs, and destroy their structures.

Slots: 10 wizards, powerful fighting ability required. 10 Head Commanders, powerful fighting ability required. 80 knights must grasp knight formation.

Mission reward: 5 war glory. Extra if an orc is killed.

The mission comes with a map. You can open it once you accept the mission.”

After Abel requested to join the mission with power of will, he got a reply from the Miracle Spirit.

“K3516, we examined your fighting ability. You are now accepted to the clean up mission!”

After Abel saw 3305 lowered his military card, he quickly asked, “what so good about these clean up missions?”

“Clean up missions are temporary missions. We don’t get them often. The orcs can’t build any city 50 miles from the Miracle City. If they do, the Miracle Spirit will send out a clean up mission like this.” k3305 explained.

“There’s a clean up mission, quick!” A head commander held up his military card and yelled to his friends. A similar thing was also happening from another side.

Abel and k3305 exchanged gaze and walked to the right of the mission board with a smile, leaving s.p.a.ce out for the others.

“Right, if we just go out to clean up orcs like that, are we going to get ambushed?” Abel asked gently.

“Don’t worry, clean up missions are often made according to the enemy’s power. Of course, the difference won’t be too big since the Miracle Spirit doesn’t like to give out too much reward, but I’m sure we won’t get ambushed. The Miracle Spirit’s scanning ability was only partly affected by those dead orcs’ death qi. It can still clearly scan any orc movements from 50 miles away. If there is a problem, it will let us know.” K3305 continued to explain.

“How do they calculate the extra war glory if we killed an orc?” Abel didn’t understand that point.

“Every orc we kill is 50 miles away from the Miracle wall will come with war glory. It is calculated by the type of orc and your contribution to the mission, but of course, it’s not up to us to decide. The Miracle Spirit doesn’t disappoint when it comes to justice.” K3305 said with a smile.

Abel couldn’t help but sigh at how powerful the Miracle Spirit was. It could calculate any human’s war glory from 50 miles away, and automatically send the war glory to the person’s military card.

“Since we are waiting for everyone to accept the mission, I’ll let you know about the missions the Miracle Spirit gives out.”k3305 continued with a friendly voice.

“The Miracle Spirit normally has 3 types of missions. First is security–like guarding the Miracle Wall and city patrol, for example. Anything similar with an empty spot will also be listed out as a mission. The special thing about these types of missions is that they are not too dangerous, which is why it is limited to once a year.

Guarding the Miracle Wall sounds like something the front line fighter will do, but normally all you do is to just control some magic circles in the Miracle Wall and support them with some magic. The main attacks are still made by the long term intermediate wizards.

The second has to do with your sub occupation, like magic circle drawing, rune card making, for example. You can only accept these missions if you have the right skills. Normally, the Miracle Spirit will let every wizard know about their sub occupation the day they arrive and give them the permission to accept those missions.

The last type of mission has to do with battle–like Orc Empire hunting. You can accept these unlimited amounts of time. Of course, your fighting ability needs to be tested as well. If you didn’t complete anything during your mission, your ability score will decrease. So these kinds of missions can only be accepted by powerful wizards.” K3305 explained in detail.

“So if you want to get the battle of the orcs mission over with earlier, you have to keep doing battle missions.” Abel understood k3305, but he just wanted to make sure.

“War glory doesn’t come easy. In order to do well in a battle mission, you have to keep increasing your ability. You need to do that through training resources, and that cost war glory, you know. “K3305 nodded and followed.

“Right, do I need a mount to go outside?” Abel suddenly thought about a mount, but he didn’t want to expose Black Wind. Did he need a new mount?

“Don’t worry. When wizards like us go out, Miracle City will organize some horseback deer for us. Although they are not as good as chocobos, they are much better than normal war horses,” k3305 replied with a smile.

Horseback deer were a type of herd animal. There were a lot of them living in the ranges of Mount Budapest. Miracle City had utilized this natural benefit and captured a lot of horseback deer for the wizards to use.

These mounts had good stamina. They had the lightness of a deer, and the power of a horse. Its speed was neck to neck with war horses, so wizards liked them quite a lot. They were provided by the Miracle City for free anyway.

At that moment, more and more people began to gather in the mission hall. They were all attracted by this temporary mission. Most of them were head commanders since knights and warriors were picked by them.

“Slots filled. Please gather in the military inventory. We will set off in 20 minutes!” A message appeared in Abel’s Military card.

“You got the message? We are going to get our horseback deer now!”k3305 said.

The two then went to the inventory. At that moment, some knights wearing heavy armors had already gathered. The well trained war horses quietly stood. There were also some more knights rus.h.i.+ng in with their own war horses.

Abel picked out a well trained looking horseback deer with his military card. It was very quiet as Abel was leading it. Abel didn’t expect much from it anyway. It was okay as long as it could run; nothing was better than Black Wind at the end of the day.

In almost no time, all the knights had arrived. There were 9 wizards, including Abel and k3305. Still, one was missing.

“I’m late; I’m late!” A Wizard in a luxurious robe rushed forward on a chocobo, waving a glowing blue magic staff. Then, he began to greet the other 9 wizards.

“How come this guy is here!” said k3305 with a quiet irritated voice.

“What’s wrong with him?” Abel asked. Although the Wizard’s clothes looked very expensive, he seemed like a nice guy. He still greeted everyone before the official start. A person like this should be easy to deal with.

“He is k3308; we are from the same batch. His attack power all relies on his gears and explosions; he is basically a drag once his magic items are used up!” K3305 quietly explained.

There were many types of magic gears in the Holy Continent. There were some for defense, some could only be used for once, and some that lasted for a long time, like a magic staff.

However, there were rarely any magic items that you could use for an unlimited amount of time. Even for a magic staff, most of them could only be used 3 times a day. Other types of magic items might also come with some kind of spell, but they could only be used once a day.

The explosion k3305 had said probably meant unleas.h.i.+ng all the magic on a magic item at once. Since all magic items’ attacks were immediate, it could increase fighting ability by light years.

After K3308 saw k3305, he quickly smiled, “K3305. Nice to see you again. Maybe we are destined to fight together. You better take good care of me!”
