The moment the 3 of them entered the magic tower, they saw that wizard Morton standing in front of the teleportation circle with a big smile.
“Teacher!” The 3 of them immediately stepped up and bowed.
“Camille and Carlos, you two can go first. Abel, come with me,” Wizard Morton nodded, waving his hand towards Abel.
“Teacher, where are we going?” Abel asked Wizard Morton as he stood in the center of the teleportation circle.
“The Wizard Union branch headquarters in Duchy of Keyen. It is the closest Wizard Union branch headquarters from here,” Said wizard Morton as he began to start the teleportation circle.
In a flash, he had already arrived in another teleportation circle. Although the layout of this teleportation circle was exactly the same from the one in Morton’s magic tower, from the decorations outside of the defense circle, he could tell it was another magic tower.
“Let’s stop here for a while. This teleportation circle can only teleport 5000 miles at a time,” Wizard Morton explained to Abel with a smile, then he took out his magic gold card again a swiped it in mid-air. The teleportation circle began to work its magic again.
They had stopped for two times, and every time they needed to pay their fee. At last, they arrived at a huge, incomparably, luxurious teleportation circle. This teleportation circle was different from any other one Abel had seen in the past. It took up even more space than ten of the teleportation circles in Morton magic tower combined.
The surface was scattered with tightly netted dark gold color patterns. From time to time, the pattern would shimmer with light. The teleportation circle was very special. It could be used even when another person was still teleporting.
As Abel was still looking, a few groups of people had also be teleported here. They appeared in different areas of the teleportation circle, and there were even a few people disappearing from the teleportation circle in a flash of white light.
“Follow me!: said wizard Morton as he padded the stunned looking Abel.
“Yes, teacher!” Abel reply and quickly followed Wizard Morton’s steps.
“This is the wizard Union branch headquarters in Duchy of Keyen. Only a rank three wizard or above could enter here. The reason why I bring you here today is to help you order a wizard badge,” Said Wizard Morton as he walked.
Camille and Carlos had already told Abel about this, so Abel was not surprised. However, he found the Wizard union branch headquarter very amusing. The place was all filled with white-colored marble decorations. The wall, the floor, even the ten huge pillars in the middle of the hall were made of pure white.
The wizards are obsessed with white here. Even the wizard behind the counter was wearing an entirely white robe. Wizard Morton stepped up to the counter and said: “I’m here to request a wizard badge for my disciple!”
The wizard behind the counter was a very young-looking novice wizard with five leaves on his badge. He then said respectfully, “Mr. Morton, please wait a moment. I’ll contact the Wizards responsible for examination!”
The wizard behind the counter ignited a magic circle on the counter and said something towards it. Afterward, he turned back to Wizard Morton and said, “Mr. Morton, please go to room number 3 in level one. Mr. Blight will be waiting for you there!”
“Blight!” Said Wizard Morton frowning his eyebrows.
“Teacher, what happened?” Abel asked quietly.
“Wizard Blight is a Wizard from the Duchy of Keyen. We sacked Black magic tower last time, and I also had some tension with wizards from the Duchy of Keyen in the past. It seems like things might not go as smoothly as I thought.” Wizard Morton replied.
“Teacher, I am not in need of the wizard badge. We can come back again some other time in the future.” Said Abel quickly as he didn’t want to give Wizard Morton a hard time.
“They won’t go out of there way to give us a hard time. He is only a wizard responsible for examination. He can only do what is in his job description,” Said Wizard Morton with a smile waving his hand.
In order to get to room number 3, they had to pass through a hall filled with Wizards from the counter. Under the powerful sense of Abel, every single one of those wizards felt like a bomb full of danger. There were so many rank 3 and above wizard concentrated in one spot, Abel was in full alert mode.
Within room number 3, sat the 30 or so years old wizard Blight with yellowish hair and a darkish face. He was just talking with someone through the magic circle on his desk.
“Mr. Ston, it is confirmed that wizard Morton and his disciple novice wizard Abel is coming here to collect a wizard badge!” Wizard Blight said to the intermediate wizard Ston on the other side of the line in a respectful manner.
In the Rocky canyon, around 100 miles out, stood six magic towers on the tip of the canyon. Two of those magic tower had more than ten stories, which signified the power of this group of magic towers were much greater than the ones in Duchy of Carmel.
On the top floor of the tallest twelve storied wizard tower, intermediate wizard Ston was just looking over at the brilliant scenery of the rocky canyon. He demanded through his words, “Help me keep them there. That old bastard Morton just sacked one of our magic towers as well as slandered dark Wizard Black. We haven’t even settled this, and he already went back to Duchy of Carmel like nothing had happened. I won’t let it slide this time. It is what happens when you try to offend the dignity of the wizards from the Duchy of Keyen.
Wizard Ston cut off the call. The conversation he had was made was thought the teleportation circle in his magic tower. However, the conversation that followed would be a little more troublesome.
He turned around and took out a magic circle board from a cupboard. This magic circle board was made out of all kinds of skeletons. It doesn’t look like a thing made by human wizards at all. In the middle of the magic circle board was a white intermediate magic gem.
Wizard Ston placed his hand on the magic circle board and ignited the magic circle. Spooky energy immediately spread Ed around his room. All kinds of negative emotions were rumbling around in the heart of Wizard Ston.
“The orcs’ deity are such a hassle!” Said wizard Ston as he added a frozen armor on to his body.
The magic circle board slowly unleashed. All of those negative emotions around were quickly sucked into the magic circle, which was just unleashed. The magic circle began to glow in dark red, as a skeleton made up of negative emotions emerged from the magic circle.
“Click click, Wizard Ston, why are you contacting me?” The bones on the skeleton rubbed against each other vigorously, making a disturbing sound.
“The deity of Gosford, remember you asked me to help you capture Abel a few days ago? Well, There’s some progress. He just showed up in Duchy of Keyen!” Said Wizard Ston to the skeleton.
“Click click, wonderful. Now just think of a way to lure him to me. I will capture him personally and turn him into one of my skeleton warriors! Said the deity of Gosford, with a voice full of hatred.
“However, there’s a small hassle. He has company, an intermediate wizard!” Wizard Ston had no idea how an insignificant novice wizard could offend the orc’s deity. However, seeing the hatred of the deity of Gosford, he was sure that an intermediate wizard could not scare him a single bit.
“Just say it, what do you want?” The deity of Gosford fully understood the intention of Wizard Ston. Long years of doing business with each other had made them very close.
“Besides the reward you said you’ll give me last time, you also need to help me kill off that intermediate wizard!” Said Wizard Ston in a low voice.
“It’s not hard for both of us to kill an intermediate wizard together. But as you know, it is very hard to stop an intermediate wizard if they are trying to escape.” The deity of Gosford was a little shocked by the request. He thought Wizard Ston would just want more resources, but instead, he wanted to kill an intermediate wizard. If intermediate wizards were really that easy to kill, why would every Duchy need at least one intermediate wizard to protect them?
Intermediate wizards made their name through their powerful fighting ability as well as their frighteningly long lifespan. Although it was only an intermediate rank, intermediate wizards were comparable to the elite rank of other occupations.
“I can find two more beginner dark wizards from my side to join this mission.” Said Wizard Ston, his voice sounding even lower.
“Click click, two intermediate, two beginners. We might have a chance to keep him. I will not hold back, so it depends on your luck if we can keep him or not.” The deity of Gosford was very excited to kill an intermediate wizard. This could not only weaken the strength of the human race, but he could also capture Abel.
The deity of Gosford needed to capture Abel, but he had to capture him personally and not let other human wizards interfere. There was only one reason for this, the ‘transformation necklace.’ Originally, this treasure was made to help him travel between the orc’s empire and the human world more easily. However, one day his favorite child of his first wife needed to come to the human world for trial, so he borrowed him the necklace. However, little did he know, it would be the last time he saw the necklace. Now, all the evidence was pointing towards that the necklace was in the hands of Abel. Not only that, but the orc’s Kong Kong spirit portal bag was stolen by a worgen, and the deity of Gosford also suspected it was Abel who had done it.
