Abe the Wizard Chapter 654 - Time to Get Back

Chapter 654 Time to Get BackThe armchair was still there when Abel, K3308, K3305, Markham, and Bodley went to the top of the slope. Abel didn’t know why, but he thought that it was pretty funny.Abel said with a smile, “Hey K3308, that chair belongs to you now.”

K3308 was still a bit pale, “Such pleasure! It would’ve been better if I had a cup of juice, though.”
“Sure, sure,” Abel took out a cup of chilled water spirit fruit juice from his portal bracelet, “Here, take this. It’s good for you.”
“Wow! I was just kidding about the juice, brother! Thanks!”
K3308 kind of just snatched the juice from Abel’s hand. Most people would’ve made fun of him for this, but he was an injured man. Right now, Head Commander Markham and Head Commander Bodley were watching everything around them. They weren’t letting their guard down at the most dangerous place in all of the Holy Continent.
K3305 also did his part to help. With his staff in hand, he put on as many appropriate defensive spells as he could. He was getting into battle mode.
Abel didn’t really join them. He took out a sling chair from his portal bag, and he just started reading his book while lying on top of it. It was a confusing move to his teammates. It didn’t make sense to them that he could be this relaxed.
K3305 couldn’t hold it after a few hours, “Alright, I’m sick of standing up all the time. Hey, you got any more sling chairs with you?”
Soon, all three wizards were doing their own thing on the sling chairs. K3308 was rambling about how brave he was during combat. Abel was pretending to listen to him while reading his book. K3305 was reading another book.
By the way, the books they were reading were not for leisure. Abel and K3305 were trying to make it into their next level by enhancing their understanding of the wizard system. Knowledge was crucial to their performance, and wizards had to use the time they had to study what the others had explored.
If Abel wasn’t reading, K3305 wouldn’t feel safe enough to do so as well. He had been very tense this entire time, but after seeing Abel killing a troop of one thousand orcs, he decided to learn to become more composed.
So did Markham and Bodley. There weren’t any orcs to be seen. After half of the day had passed, they finally realized that it was stupid to be so alert. The orcs were trying to avoid them. That much was clear by now.
“You got anything to eat, K3516?”
After he got tired of talking, K3308 was finally sounding like the injured man that he was. He had no food in his portal bag, and that juice Abel gave him was already finished. Abel didn’t really blame him, though. Instead of saying anything back, he just took out four blue hollowing rabbit-flavoured “ration potion” from his portal bracelet.
“Wow! A ration portion!”
After being at the Miracle City for more than two years, K3308 had already used up all his ration potions. He didn’t have many points, either, so it wasn’t like he could just buy more from the alchemists.
When he took the tubes over, he just gulped them all down his throats. It didn’t take him too much time to regret it. The ration potions he had before weren’t all that good, but this one had a very rich flavour to it. If he had a second chance to savour it, he would’ve taken a lot more time to do that.
At the same time, K3305 and the two head knight’s commanders were drinking the potions as well. They were drinking like normal people, which meant that they had the time to get a better taste of the good stuff.
“This is so good, man. I can’t even… it’s just so good, man,” K3305 said to K3308.
That made K3308 want to cry. He wished that he could savour the stuff, but he’s already had his chance.
Abel was watching the whole time. He didn’t want to say anything much, but out of his good heart and will, he took out another potion from his portal bracelet.
“Is that for me? Wha- Thank you so much, K3516!”
Abel wasn’t just giving it to K3308, though, “Hey, don’t push yourself too much. Your body’s not sturdy enough to take two at once. Use it when you’ve digested what you’ve taken.”
K3308 shrugged his shoulders with a smile, “Oh, yeah, you’re right. This thing is enough to feed me for three days. I should probably save it for later.”
“Uh, mine can actually last ten.”
“What? How am I supposed to contain myself for that long? Oh, go…..”
After everyone was done laughing at K3308, they began to prepare themselves for the night. Of course, it was up to the two knight’s head commanders to do the patrols. The orcs didn’t appear, so everyone got some good rest.
Abel felt that it was weird that it was so peaceful. The worgens didn’t send anyone after him, but that shouldn’t be possible at all. They were among the strongest in the Orc Empire, and there were many of them that could easily overpower him.
Perhaps it had to do with the rule here. Advanced priests were not allowed to be sent to the orc battlefield. Still, if there were enough of the intermediate priests, he would still be in a lot of trouble. He was ready for that scenario this whole time, actually.
The worgens were probably preparing for something big. Abel was pretending to be relaxed, but he had already used his power of the Will to search everywhere. It was the reason he’s brought K3308 here, actually. The worgens might be targeting the main team. Now that he was here, he could at least protect his injured friend with his spiritual guardian knights.
Still, nothing happened until the noon of the final day. The hunting quest was finished, and the orcs didn’t send anyone to come after Abel.
A notification popped up on Abel’s military tag, “To K3516: you have reached the one-month time limit for your Orc Empire hunting quest. Please return to the mission hall to retrieve your military points.”
K3308 couldn’t get up, but the smile on his face was as wide as it could get, “It’s over! I’m alive! I can live in area B now!”
Head Commander Markham was pretty glad, too, “Let’s go home now.”
After packing everything into his portal bag, Abel jumped onto his mount. Everyone was ready to go back to the miracle wall.
