Abel did not expect that his decision to stay for a day to observe the city would cause misunderstandings among many organizations.
Name: Abel Harry
From: Holy Continent
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Level: Level 16 wizard
Registration place of wizards: Wizards Guild of Liante City, Holy Continent
Level 16 wizard certification place: Wizard Guild of the Kingdom of Saint Alice in the Holy Continent
A simple message was sent to all branches of the Central Continent Wizards Guild through the Wizards Guild's transmission circle. Every wizard who saw this information was shocked by the age.
In the Central Continent, even if resources are always guaranteed, it is extremely difficult to become a high-level wizard at the age of 19.
Not to mention the resource-poor continent of the Holy Continent, where one can achieve such achievements at this age, and one's talent must be so powerful.
So while Abel was dining in the hotel, his information had been learned by many organizations and nobles, and they all wanted to bring this amazingly talented young wizard into their own power as soon as possible. .
There have been five people in the history of the Central Continent who became senior wizards before the age of twenty. Except for two of those five wizards who died unexpectedly, the final achievements of the remaining three wizards were extremely astonishing.
There are many difficulties in the promotion of a wizard. The first is the bottleneck period, which is almost unsolvable. The only way to stimulate the wizard is through various things.
Among the wizards' research on the bottleneck period, the most likely way to break the bottleneck period is the assessment between life and death. There is a high chance that the bottleneck can be broken.
However, when a wizard is promoted, he must have a magical environment. If there is no protection around him, then the wizard will fail to advance because there is no magical environment. If there is protection, then the wizard cannot be truly touched by the horror between life and death.
However, there is a process of strengthening the wizard crystal to be promoted from an intermediate wizard to a senior wizard. If this process occurs before the age of twenty, then even if the wizard crystal does not reach the optimal strengthening level, it can be completed in the future, and the difficulty will not be Too tough.
As long as you are over twenty years old, the difficulty of completing the wizard crystal will increase dozens of times.
This is the difference between becoming a senior wizard before the age of twenty and after the age of twenty. It is also why various organizations and nobles pay some attention to Abel, a senior wizard who is only 19 years old.
But if Abel knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say that you are thinking too much.
Although the world said that he was a peerless genius, he knew that everything he had came from the Horadric Cube and the support of a dark world behind him.
Although he is only 19 years old on the surface, that is only his age in the Holy Continent. He has been practicing hard for decades in the dark world. Every achievement he has achieved is the result of his persistent practice.
His best condition is the magical environment and the crystal nuclei provided by countless blue roaring rabbits, so that he can practice in the best environment and with what he considers the best resources.
However, his wizard crystal can be said to be the best, and he has full confidence in this point, because when his wizard crystal appeared, even this world had the intention of killing him.
The adventure captain carefully answered the questions raised by Abel, but it was a pity that he was just an ordinary adventurer and only knew some ordinary things. He had very little deeper understanding of nobles, wizards, and the Central Continent.
The conversation that was a pleasure for Abel and a torment for the adventure leader was finally over. He was talking to a senior wizard. Although Abel was quite easy to talk to, the feeling of oppression in his heart was difficult to disappear.
"Thank you for your answer. This is your reward!" Abel took out an intermediate magic stone from an ordinary space bag on his waist and handed it over.
Although he didn't know the consumption level of the Central Continent, he knew that a senior wizard's monthly gift was only five intermediate magic stones, so he took out an intermediate magic stone as a thank you.
In order to come to the Central Continent, Abel specially prepared a large amount of intermediate magic stones produced from the mining area for consumption. You must know that the intermediate magic stones synthesized from Horadric cubes in his hands are too pure and cannot be leaked out.
"Thank you, Master Wizard, you are so generous!" The adventure captain took the intermediate magic stone with trembling hands. He had seen the intermediate magic stone, but had not touched it personally, because the intermediate magic stone was only circulated among those with distinguished status.
Just when Abel stood up and was about to leave, four minotaurs nearly three meters tall walked in from outside the hotel door. They were wearing iron armor and holding spears.
As soon as Abel saw the orcs appearing, his first reaction was to prepare a spell, but in an instant he forcibly gave up the idea of casting a spell.
First of all, this is a city, and he doesn't know what the consequences will be if he forcibly casts spells in the city.
In fact, he found that none of the diners sitting there had any extreme reactions, but some of them had a look of awe on their faces, but there was no trace of the fear that humans in the Holy Continent would have when seeing the orcs.
The servants on the side and the boss Dai Li at the counter all had smiles on their faces, as if they knew these tauren.
Behind the tauren, a middle-aged human noble wearing a Chinese robe followed into the hotel lobby.
At this time, all the diners dining in the hall stood up and bowed to the human noble.
"Honorable Lord Viscount, why did you come to our hotel in person?" The hotel owner Daly quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Everyone, I have something to talk with this wizard. If you haven't finished your lunch, please continue. If you have finished your lunch, please leave early!" The middle-aged human noble did not respond to the boss Daley, but looked around. He glanced at the diners who had stopped eating in the hall and said.
"Lord Viscount, we have already used it, let's leave first!" All the diners, whether they had finished their lunch or not, quickly bowed and left the hall.
Soon there were only Abel, the hotel's servants, and the boss Daley in the hall. The boss Daley carefully wiped a table clean himself, then winked at several servants, and then all retreated.
"You guys stay outside the store!" the middle-aged human noble ordered the four tauren.
The four tauren bowed in response and came to the door with spears in hand to prevent others from entering the hotel.
"Master Wizard Abel, I am Viscount Ebenezer, the lord of this city. Welcome to the Central Continent!" Viscount Ebenezer faced Abel at this time and bowed to introduce himself.
"Viscount Ebenezer!" Abel bowed in return. The standard aristocratic etiquette reflected his good aristocratic cultivation.
He was not surprised as to how the city owner, Viscount Ebenezer, knew about his arrival in Onniu City, but he did not expect to find him so quickly.
"Master Wizard Abel, today, on behalf of the Stan Empire, I invite you to join the empire and become its servant!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a smile.
Originally, this kind of invitation should not be made by a noble of the level of Viscount Ebenezer, but should be invited by a higher-level wizard or a senior wizard of the same level as Abel. However, when Viscount Ebenezer obtained Abel's information, After that, he immediately contacted the empire, and the empire asked him to contact Abel first.
As soon as such a talented wizard appears, there will definitely be organizations or empires coming to fight for it. The Stan Empire does not have much advantage. It is possible to retain Abel by contacting him first. If it is too late, there may not even be a chance. .
"Viscount Ebenezer, I have just arrived in the Central Continent, and I have never understood anything here!" Abel politely rejected Viscount Ebenezer's request.
Viscount Ebenezer breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was no disappointment on his face. He came today to be entrusted by the Stan Empire to make a request. He didn't care whether Abel accepted it or not.
To be honest, he didn't believe that Abel would directly agree to this request. It would be much better for such a talented wizard to enter any wizard organization than to enter the Stan Empire.
"Master Wizard Abel, what do you need to know, I can give you some answers!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a smile.
Abel did not reject the goodwill of Viscount Ebenezer, because this is Onniu City, the city where the super teleportation array back to the Holy Continent is located, and getting along with the city owner might be helpful in the future.
"Viscount Ebenezer, why are all your bodyguards orcs?" Abel was very puzzled just now, so he asked directly.
"You are talking about the four minotaurs just now. Minotaurs are hard-working, strong, and very loyal, so most nobles like to hire minotaurs as bodyguards!" Viscount Ebenezer explained with a smile.
Abel was a little silent. He could not accept this change at once. Although he had estimated that the orcs might coexist peacefully with humans in the Holy Continent, the fact that the orcs were completely integrated into human life in front of him made him unable to believe it.
He has experienced many battles with the orcs. He has seen the brutality of the orcs and the madness of the orcs. He never thought that the orcs from the Central Continent could serve as bodyguards for human nobles.
You must know that the identity of the guard has shown that Viscount Ebenezer in front of him can entrust his life to the hands of the four tauren.
"Master Wizard Abel, you are from the Holy Continent, where orcs and humans are supposed to be in opposition, so you are not used to the appearance of tauren, right?" Viscount Ebenezer saw Abel's expression and thought The continent where Abel was born was listed in the information, and he asked with a smile.
"Yes, I once fought to the death with the Orc Empire in the Holy Continent. I didn't expect..." Abel said with a sigh.
"The relationship between the various races in the Central Continent is very close. Here you don't look at the race, but at the power it represents. Behind our Stan Empire is the land of ice and fog. Basically every empire has a powerful one behind it. Organizations, the existence of the empire is to provide talents and resources for those organizations!" Viscount Ebenezer knew a lot about the Central Continent, and in order to make friends with Abel, he also revealed all the secrets he knew.
"How big is the Central Continent?" Abel then asked.
"It's very big. Twelve empires occupy most of the land in the Central Continent, but there is still a lot of land that belongs to the world of spiritual beasts!" Viscount Ebenezer seemed a little unable to answer this question, he said vaguely.
"Why did the knight disappear in the Central Continent?" Abel asked again.
Although the adventure captain also answered this question, how could the captain's knowledge be compared with that of a viscount, so Abel asked the question again.
"Lord Wizard Abel, thousands of years ago, knights have always been the backbone of the Central Continent, but since the evil extraterrestrial demon came to the Central Continent, enslaved the knights and made the knights believe in him, the knights have become loyal to him. War machines, they plundered the population and robbed resources. At that time, when the Central Continent was invaded by the Demon from Beyond, several extremely powerful wizards appeared. They severely damaged the Demon from Beyond and his men. We rushed to a corner of the Central Continent, which is the Kingdom of Evil! From then on, knights have become a taboo in the Central Continent, and anyone who dares to practice the way of knights will be hanged!" Viscount Ebenezer said in a deep voice.
As expected, Viscount Ebenezer knew much more than the adventurer. Although he could not explain some of the details clearly, he had already explained clearly the reasons for the decline of the knights.
"Viscount Ebenezer, could it be that the demon outside only attacked knights that day, and didn't he attack other professions?" Abel asked in confusion.
You must know that there are orcs in the Central Continent. Those orcs should be easier to kill. Why would they choose knights to kill them
"Yes, the devil from outside the world can only kill knights. He can make the knights stronger!" Viscount Ebenezer seemed to have thought of something, and said with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Thank you so much for your answer, it is very helpful to me!" Abel bowed to Viscount Ebenezer to express his gratitude.
"Master Wizard Abel, if you don't mind, you can live in my city lord's mansion. The environment here is too noisy and it will also affect your practice!" Viscount Ebenezer extended an invitation to Abel.
Abel hesitated, because what Viscount Ebenezer said was true, and he was used to living in a spacious house. Although the rooms in this small hotel were relatively clean, they were still far different from the homes of nobles.
"Viscount Ebenezer, I accept your kindness. In addition, I want to buy a yard in Onniu City. Can you recommend it?" Abel did not refuse and continued to ask.
Because of the super teleportation circle in Onniu City, he will definitely return here. He has huge wealth in his hands. He doesn't want to treat himself badly, so buying a yard to live in is a good choice.
What's more important is that he wants to study the crystal angel statue in the pineal body of his brain. For reasons of confidentiality and for his own safety, he wants to know earlier what impact the crystal angel statue in his brain will have on him.
Because the time at the Super Teleportation Array was too short, he did not do too much research on the Crystal Angel Statue, and the longer the matter dragged on, the more worried he became.
"Master Wizard Abel, no problem, go to my place first, I will send someone to check, and I will definitely find you a residence that satisfies you!" Viscount Ebenezer said happily.
If Abel wants to buy a house in Onniu City, he will have a connection with this city. Whether he lives here or not, this city will have a high-level wizard in name, and he will also be a talented high-level wizard. .
"Please!" Viscount Ebenezer stood up and bowed and said a hand gesture. Then he turned back to the boss Daley who was looking around and ordered: "Charge the wizard's consumption to my account. When you turn around, I'll ask the butler to find you!"
Then, before boss Daley could answer, Viscount Ebenezer stepped forward and pushed the door open.
Abel smiled and gave in to him, and walked out of the hotel together.
After leaving the hotel, Abel discovered that the four minotaurs were just part of Viscount Ebenezer's bodyguards, and there were twenty minotaurs waiting outside.
He couldn't help but think of what the diners said about Viscount Ebenezer's army of a thousand spearmen. Could it be that all those thousand spearmen were composed of minotaurs? In that case, the actual number of these thousand spearmen would be The combat effectiveness is not low.
After boarding the city lord's carriage, two horses pulled the carriage towards the city's mansion.
Abel looked at the streets on both sides of the road through the window of the carriage. The city was not prosperous, but there were many adventurers. It was no wonder that the city owner, Viscount Ebenezer, had a thousand spearmen to maintain security.
"Master Wizard Abel, although Onniu City is not big, it is rich in spiritual beasts and medicinal herb resources, so there are not many people in the city. In fact, most of the adventurers are in the forest outside the city. In autumn, It’s the time when there are the most prey!” Viscount Ebenezer introduced to Abel.
He seemed to want to let Albert know more about Onniu City, so he specifically mentioned the characteristics of the city.
"Why do I see that the faces of the people here are a little pale?" Abel said, pointing to the ordinary residents on the road.
The residents here are generally pale. He thought it was an exception at first, but as the carriage traveled further, he saw more and more pale residents.
"What you don't know is that the Evil Country will erupt with an evil atmosphere every few decades. That atmosphere will drastically reduce crop yields in the Central Continent. In order to prevent this, every city has stored some food for preparation. A crisis has arisen, but this time the crop yield loss that broke out a few years ago is more serious than before. Food distribution has already begun, which can only ensure that these people will not starve to death!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a sigh.
Abel's eyes moved. Could it be that the decrease in crop production in the Holy Continent was also caused by that evil country
Listening to what Viscount Ebenezer said, the evil aura that erupted a few years ago coincided with the decline in crop yields in the Holy Continent. It is only how powerful the evil country's extraterrestrial demons are that they can destroy the distant Holy Continent. Aura enveloped.
"The same is true in my hometown, the Holy Continent. Reduced crop yields have led to constant wars, and many people have died!" Abel also said with emotion.
"Master Wizard Abel, don't you care about your hometown Wizards Guild? It is unlikely that a war will break out in the Central Continent. If the various forces have conflicts, they will resolve them through other means and will not choose war." Viscount Ebenezer also He said he was a little curious about the Holy Continent.
"Viscount Ebenezer, tell me about the Wizards Guild?" Abel asked, not knowing much about the Wizards Guild here.
"Master Wizard Abel, you have found the wrong person. I know very little about the Wizards Guild, but the wizard in my city knows a little bit about it. Please ask him to introduce it to you then!" Viscount Ebenezer smiled. said.
As he spoke, the carriage arrived in front of a luxurious aristocratic building. There was a fountain in front of the door, spewing crystal water columns outwards.
The emerald green grass was neatly repaired and looked like a carpet on the ground, with several small animals playing on it.
From the main road to the noble building is a stone road paved with square stones. Each stone is extremely smooth, making this short road much smoother than the main road.
The building itself should be many years old, and the stones used in its construction have turned gray due to the erosion of time, but it is this color of time that makes this building more aristocratic.
The carriage drove until it stopped in front of the building's gate. A steward in a black robe quickly stepped forward and opened the carriage door.
Viscount Ebenezer got out of the carriage first, and then made a hand gesture to Abel.
As Abel stepped out of the carriage, he lamented that no matter where he was, nobles were the privileged class.
"Steward, send some attentive servants to the yard on the left to take care of the wizard's daily life!" Viscount Ebenezer ordered the housekeeper, and then he turned back to Abel and said: "I'll ask you to rest in the yard on the left first. Click here and I will contact you immediately about the yard you want to buy! ”
"Viscount Ebenezer, please excuse me!" Abel bowed and thanked him.
The housekeeper took Abel to the courtyard on the left side of the city lord's mansion. This was a small courtyard consisting of a living room, dining room, study room, and bedroom. Almost all facilities were complete.
There were four male servants in the courtyard, and two good-looking maids were responsible for taking care of Abel's daily life.
It can be seen that Viscount Ebenezer is very attentive to Abel. From Abel's aristocratic etiquette, he knows that Abel is from a noble family, so everything prepared now is based on aristocratic service.
While he was looking at the courtyard, a footman came in.
"Sir, Lord Geok Wizard is outside asking to see you!" the manservant bowed and said.
"Invite him in!" Abel waved his hand and said.
This Geok wizard was probably the enshrined wizard of the city lord's palace. This was the first wizard he saw outside the super teleportation circle.
Judging by his breath, Wizard Geok is a junior wizard, around level seven, and his attitude is a bit reserved.
"I've met Lord Wizard Abel!" He said with a wizard's salute.
"Wizard Geok, I have asked you to come here to ask for advice. I have disturbed your practice!" Abel said apologetically in return, and then made a gesture to sit down.
"It's my honor to be able to help you!" The junior wizard Geok sat on the lower seat in the living room.
"Wizard Geok, what are the training resources for wizards in the Central Continent?" Abel asked first.
In fact, Abel wanted to ask this question when he was stationed at the super teleportation circle, but the attitude of the fat senior wizard at that time made him have no intention of staying any longer, so he only asked now.
When in the Holy Continent, the wizard's training resources were mainly potions to improve the effect of meditation, and fresh crystal nuclei could not be used normally by wizards.
"Master Wizard Abel, the main training resources for wizards are magic stones. Magic stones drive magic gathering arrays. Some wizards' training potions have a special effect on improving meditation, but their value is very high." Junior Wizard Geok paused. Then he said: "If we talk about the best cultivation resource, it is light stone!"
"What is the light stone?" Abel interrupted and asked.
"After killing the evil knight, you can get the light stone. Meditation after using the light stone can greatly improve the effect of meditation!" Geok junior wizard explained.
Only then did Abel realize that the evil knight was also a resource, and according to what Geok's junior wizard said, this resource should be the most effective among all resources.
"Of course it is not easy to kill the evil knights. They are very powerful, and senior wizards who are less than level 17 are not allowed to carry out the killing mission. Therefore, light stones generally flow out from the hands of senior wizards, and the quantity is very small. , this kind of resource is traded by the senior wizard metropolis with the wizard organization!" Geok junior wizard continued.
"Then how do wizards earn resources in the Central Continent?" Abel asked again.
Abel has many ways to earn resources, especially if he wants to buy some materials he needs. Each of these materials is extremely expensive at his level, and the number of his intermediate magic stones is not large. He has the most It is a synthetic magic stone, but it cannot be traded.
He can obtain resources by opening a restaurant, selling Master Liquor and Grandmaster Liquor, or refining potions, but this is not the Holy Continent. Once he exposes some secrets, he may attract the prying eyes of other wizards.
The only people he brought with him this time were Johnson, Feiyan, Baixue, Baiyun, and Heifeng, as well as the war command spirit and four hundred small war puppets holding powerful city crossbows. This was all his strength.
These strengths were okay in the Holy Continent, but in this unknown central continent, he did not dare to guarantee his own safety.
"The easiest way to earn resources in the Central Continent is to make offerings. A low-level wizard like me only needs to use low-level magic stones to activate the magic gathering array every day, so the offering money from a city like Onniu City is enough for my practice. Yes!" Geok junior wizard said with some self-deprecation.
"Wizard Geok, you don't have a magic tower?" Abel asked in surprise.
Hearing the junior wizard Geok talk about using the magic gathering array several times made Abel think that he might not have a magic tower, but how could a seventh-level wizard not have a magic tower
"Since the emergence of the light stone, many wizard apprentices with poor talent have been successfully promoted to become official wizards. Wizard apprentices with good talent will be absorbed by various organizations, while wizard apprentices with poor talent, like me, spend I paid countless prices, and finally owed a lot of debt, to get a light stone. By using the light stone, I became an official wizard, but my potential has been consumed a lot by this promotion method. I am still lucky, so After many years of training, he has been promoted to a seventh-level wizard!" Geok, a junior wizard, said in a deep voice.
"The effect of this light stone is almost the same as the forced promotion potion!" Abel said involuntarily.
There is a similar potion in the Holy Continent, which can forcibly upgrade a low-level wizard with level five fullness to a level six junior wizard. However, this promotion will permanently make the wizard lose the ability to be promoted.
"No, forcibly promoting potions will make people completely lose hope, but light stones can retain some hope. As long as you keep practicing, you can continue to be promoted!" Geok, a junior wizard, said with a look of determination in his eyes.
Abel felt the determination of Geok's junior wizard and couldn't help but respect him.
"So it is impossible for a wizard like me to own a magic tower. The only wizards who have the financial resources to own a magic tower are those wizards trained by organizations!" Speaking of the magic tower, the junior wizard Geok was still very envious.
At this time, Abel had understood why there was still no magic tower despite the seventh level of Geok's junior wizard. The reason was probably the light stone. The light stone allowed many trainee wizards who could not be promoted to become official wizards, which greatly increased the number of official wizards. .
The number of formal wizards in the Holy Continent is very small. In order to retain these formal wizards, each principality will provide part of the resources for its magic tower. Because of the scarcity of wizards, the Holy Continent Wizards Guild will also let wizards take credit, so that they can Get the magic tower in advance.
But when there are more formal wizards in the Central Continent, this method becomes unrealistic. The result is that only formal wizards with good talent can get more resources, while formal wizards with poor talent can only rely on magic gathering arrays to practice. Yue maintains his training through the primary magic stone obtained by offering gold.
"Thank you, Wizard Geok, this is my gratitude!" Abel took out two intermediate magic stones from his body and gave them to the junior wizard Geok and said.
When the junior wizard Geok saw the two intermediate magic stones, his eyes showed joy. When he took the intermediate magic stones, he hurriedly bowed and thanked them.
Abel couldn't help but sigh, that a seventh-level wizard would be so interested in two intermediate magic stones. You must know that a sixth-level wizard in the Holy Continent only offered several intermediate magic stones.
