Chapter 126: Teleportation Circle
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Abel tapped with a finger from his right arm. Another "fireball" shot out on the target. The voice came out again.
"5 points fire damage"
The lowest damage of Abel's "fireball" spell was 2, and the highest was 5. All of his patterns were taken from the ability tree in the Horadric Cube. Every time it would shoot out the most perfect "fireball" spell pattern. Seemed like this way could unleash the most amount of power from the "fireball" spell.
Due to safety purposes, the magic tower did not allow people to go to Rogue encampment through the use of the scroll of Town Portal. To save time, Abel never left this magic testing room since then. He continued to test out the "fireball" spell until his magical power was depleted. Then, he would do some meditation to help him recover.
Abel realized it took him around 20 minutes to help him recover the magical power through meditation, which was twice as long as when he was in Rogue encampment. Especially when his magical ability was still not too high.
During lunchtime, Abel's identity card rang. It seemed like someone wanted to talk to him. He picked put the identity card and moved with his spirit.
Carlos's voice came through his identity card, he said "Junior brother, come to the first floor. We'll have lunch together."
"Ok senior brother, I'll be down in a second" Abel replied and left the magic testing room. He had just shot out 4 "fireball" spell, his magical ability was completely depleted. At first, he wanted to do some meditation to recover before lunch. But since Carlos called, he tried to resist the slight headache caused by the depleting his magical ability and went down.
When he reached the first floor of the magic tower. Camille and Carlos were already waiting for him in the visitor lounge. When Carlos saw Abel, he stood up and pulled out a chair from the Abel and said: "junior brother, sit here!"
"This is a visitor lounge, can he have lunch here?" Abel realized the first floor of Morton magic tower was quite cramped. A large half of the space was taken up by a gigantic magic circle.
"We always eat here. The teacher had turned half of the first floor into a teleportation circle. Although it raised our income, it sacrificed our liveable space." Said Camille in a sorry tone.
"But it's not all too bad, at least we have a free chance to use the teleportation circle every month," Carlos explained.
"But we still need to pay for the cost of operation, that's not cheap." Said Camille as she gazed at Carlos.
This sparked Abel's interest, he asked, "This is a teleportation circle?" The one he saw in Rogue encampment was way smaller than this. This giant teleportation circle also seemed to be a lot more complicated than the simple one in Rogue encampment.
Camille then proudly introduced "yes, this is the only teleportation circle in Duchy of Carmel, and the only one with a range of 5 thousand miles." As she spoke, she seemed to forget all about her complaints earlier.
As the few were deep into their conversation, suddenly a white light flashed on top of the teleportation circle. The white light slowly faded away, and a wizard wearing a white magic robe appeared in the center. When he saw 3 young novice wizard politely bowed to him, the wizard took out a card from the portal bag on his waist. Then, this white robe wizard made a slashing motion and disappeared from the teleportation circle again.
Abel was stunned by what he had just seen, he was speechless, he did not understand a single thing in regards to what had just happened. He then turned to his 2 senior brother and sister with eyes of confusion.
"Someone using our teleportation circle to switch to another teleportation circle," Camille explained with a smile. She then followed "The teleportation circle we have is considered a small scale one, and it has a range of around a thousand miles. If you want to travel anywhere further, you might need to go through many different teleportation circles."
"I'm so jealous of that wizard, the cost of teleportation is enough to support my training for a long time." Said Carlos looking at the white robe wizard who had just disappeared from the teleportation circle.
"How much does it cost each time?" Abel asked. He saw clearly that the card the Wizard was holding was a magic gold card.
"If you want to go through the teleportation circle, it will cost you 10 normal magical gems every time, which is around 10,000 gold coins." Said Carlos with eyes looking like the shape of gold coins.
Abel couldn't help but remember the time where he sold a normal magical gem for 300 gold coins in Harvest City. That businessman had easily made 700 gold coins of him by just reselling it. That was so sad.
Camille then proceeded to explain, "Normally, wizards will much rather receive gold coins than magic gems. However, the main energy source for this teleportation circle is magical gems."
Abel then asked suspiciously "Why don't we put the teleportation circle outside of the magic tower, isn't it due to safety, the magic tower won't let any wizards who don't belong to the magic tower come inside?"
"The teleportation circle also needs to draw a lot of energy from the magic tower. Just installing the magical gem by itself won't do anything. Due to safety, teacher had added a defense circle, separating the teleportation circle from the magic tower. On top of that, there is a rule that any wizards above the intermediate rank can't use this teleportation circle. So of course, the magic tower is safe. Said Camille as she pointed towards those huge metal fences covered in patterns outside of the teleportation circle.
"Of course, trying to make gold coins." Said Carlos lightly.
"Careful don't let the teacher hear you. He will decrease your training resource" said Camille, pretending to be vicious.
"I didn't say anything, let's eat," said Carlos as he quickly changed the topic.
At that moment, a boy and a girl wearing grey robes went up and put some cutlery and food on the table. Abel looked up and down at the 2 wizard followers.
"These are our 2 wizard follower, Page, and Joey." Carlos noticed Abel was examining the 2 Wizard followers, so he introduced them to each other.
After the 2 wizard followers heard Carlos introduced them, they immediately bowed to Abel and said: "Mr. Abel, it's our pleasure to serve you."
"You should also find a wizard follower to help you take care of normal day to day work" Camille suggested to Abel.
Abel then explained, "maybe after a while, I still need to go back to my castle and rest every night, I only come to the magic tower in the morning."
"My spirit, how can the teacher say yes to a request like this?" Carlos soured suspiciously, the teacher won't even let him go to Bakong City for a holiday.
"Yeah, the teacher is too nice to you" Camille look up and down at Abel as though as she was searching for something.
"Let's eat!" Said Abel as he quickly picked up his fork and knife.
After lunch, they all returned to their individual floors. Abel continued to practice the "fireball" spell until the sky got dark.
Abel tapped his identity card on the front door of the magic tower. The front door opened and he walked out.
Suddenly, an excited voice came out of nowhere "Mr. Abel, are you staying in Morton Magic tower?"
Abel turned his head and look, it was that fatty a Finkle. He couldn't help but laugh"Yes, I had already settled in Morton Magic tower."
"I am so jealous of you," a flattering look occurred on Finkle's face as he proceeded to say "if you need anything, please let me know."
Suddenly, Abel felt a tingle in his heart. Although he wasn't planning to get a wizard follower currently, it might still be a good idea to help him take care of trivial tasks. Finkle might be a bit plumb, but he seemed to have a good heart.
"Can you help me find a horse carriage? I want to go to Bakong City" asked Abel with a smile.
"Of course Mr. Abel. I have a horse carriage right nearby." Finkle's eyes began to sparkle. As long as Abel requested him for help, they would have social communication. Finkle's family thought this was where all friendship starts.
Abel sat on the carriage and returned to the courtyard in Triumph boulevard. Finkle was very discreet. He did not request to be in the same carriage as Abel. He only told the carriage driver to drive carefully and went off.
As soon as Abel stepped down the carriage. Steward Ken had already appeared in front of him. He bowed and said, "Master, you came back!"
Abel then directly asked Ken. "Ken, from today onward, order a carriage to pick me up from Morton magic tower around this time every evening."
"Yes Master, congratulations on your acceptance in Morton magic tower." Said Ken with a face full of smile.
"Also, help me prepare 10 days' worth of food tomorrow. I have some other use for it. Ok, let's prepare for dinner!" Said Abel as he walked inside the courtyard. However, he did not explain the reason why he needed 10 days' worth of food.
"Yes Master" steward Ken bowed and walked off to prepare dinner.
"Brother Abel, did you officially became a disciple of a wizard?" Asked Laura with a face full of excitement.
"Yes, I am the disciple of intermediate wizard Morton. Abel replied positively.
Hearing Abel's response, a cheerful mood began to emerge from Laura's face. She said, "Intermediate wizard, he must be very powerful."
As Abel heard these words, his heart began to tingle. Before he had made contact with any wizards, Abel did not have the slightest idea of how powerful they were. However, Laura seemed to know a lot about wizards.

Chapter 127: Mount Wolf Trainer
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After having dinner with Loraine, Abel was preparing to go to the bedroom to help Black Wind with its mount enhancement technique. Steward Ken approached him.
"Master, the trainer for Black Wind has been waiting for you. Would you like to see him now?" He asked, bowing towards Abel.
"Bring him to the guest lounge, and I'll see him there." Abel turned and began walking towards the guest's lounge.
Abe had just sat down in the guest lounge drinking some juice when Ken came in with a big, burly man.
"Master, this is trainer Marcy." Ken introduced Abel then quickly stepped aside.
"Mr. Marcy, thank you for coming by." Abel stood up and bowed slightly.
"Dear Baron Abel, I am at your service!" Said Marcy.
"Ken said that you're experienced in training mount wolves?" Abel asked curiously, looking at the eye-catching Wolf claw scar on Marcy's face.
"Yes, Baron Abel. I was taken into slavery by the orcs for more than ten years, and I have been involved in the training of several Mount wolves for the wolf riders in the Orc empire!" Marcy explained to Abel, making no secret of his past.
Mount wolves were extremely rare in the human world, so when Abel heard about Marcy's past experience, he was glad to know that there was a trainer with such experience in training mount wolves.
"Ken, get Black Wind over here, and show Mr. Marcy!" Abel spoke towards Ken, then turned to Marcy with a smile and said, "My Black Wind has never been systematically trained because of his lack of experience. He's a very playful nature. He loves to play around wildly too."
"Baron Abel, these mount wolves are very playful when they're young. But with proper training, they can be battle-effective within three months." Marcy said confidently.
"Whooo!" like a black bolt of lightning, Black Wind rushed inside the guest lounge through the door. Within split seconds, he was already beside Abel, rubbing his head against his body.
"Black Wind, sit down properly," Abel ordered with a gentle tone. Black Wind then immediately sat on the ground obediently, but his head kept moving around restlessly.
"How old is this mount wolf, Baron Abel?" Marcy asked Abel, looking hesitantly at Black Wind.
"About three months," Abel replied.
"My god, your Black Wind is even stronger than mount wolves that were 6 months old. I couldn't even tell his age for a moment, I've just never seen such strength at such age." Marcy exclaimed
When Abel heard this, he couldn't help himself but asked calmly, "Since you've been in the Orc empire for many years. Have you heard about a technique known as "Mount enhancement"?"
Marcy's face seemed like he had remembered something, a moment later, he said firmly, "the honorable baron Abel, I have never heard of the "mount enhancement" technique. The Orc empire is very different from the human world. The more powerful the technique is, the more simple and direct its name would be. So according to my interpretations, your so called "Mount enhancement" would probably be a secret technique.
Abel recalled the wolf raider where he killed and took Black Wind from. Although he had a "Mount enhancement" technique with him. His mount wolf was pretty much the same as any other mount wolf. But the use and reasons are still unknown, as the wolf rider died before he was able to use it.
Back then, Simon attained the "mount enhancement" technique sign during one of his adventures. After the death of nearly all of his companions in the adventure, he was found an orc's technique sign in an abandoned shrine that was filled with hidden dangers. However, the technique sign didn't include any instructions which meant Simon wasn't able to use it.
Simon believed that orc's technique sign must've been extremely precious since he had paid such a high price of losing most of his companions. So even if he didn't know how to use it, he wanted to trade it for a large sum of wealth. But, his status was way too low. This meant if he traded with other orcs, he would've been ripped off or scammed. This was why he wanted to trade it away after he came back from the trial of death, as he would've had a much higher status to trade by then.
Although Simon knew that orc skill cards were very valuable, because his family was small and none of them could become a Wolf rider, he had to carry the "Mount enhancement" skill card with him, which ultimately became Abel's.
Marcy knew by this time that the young Baron in front of him must've possessed a "Mount enhancement" technique sign which would make his mount wolf extremely powerful. As Abel had told him about this classified information, he couldn't help but be shocked as he didn't know what this young Baron would do with him afterward.
"Mr. Marcy, I will let you take care of Black Wind. You can train it during the day, and I will come back every evening to perform Black Wind's "mount enhancement". Do you have any specific requirements for the payment for this job?" Abel did not hide anything from Marcy, because even if he hid it now, he would still find out about it after a few months of working with Black Wind, so might as well let him know now.
Abel had been very secretive with keeping the orc technique sign in fear of the noble arbitral tribunal or people from the shrine temple in condemning him. But he was no longer the old Abel. He no longer had to fear these small things due to his high status as a Baron now.
"Baron Abel, I would like to join the Abel family to become a trainer within your family." Marcy made up his mind as a trainer in your family." Marcy made up his mind after a moment of groaning.
"You don't need to do that, Mr. Marcy. Orc skills may be troublesome to others, but they are nothing to me, and you may rest assured that it would not cause any loss of dignity for you on the pretext of secrecy." Abel smiled as he understood clearly what's on Marcy's mind.
After hearing Abel talk about a volatile subject so calmly, Marcy was reassured by his choice. With a young Baron full of confidence, his family would continue to increase their strength within society. If he joined a family like this, he would've had his safety guaranteed for the rest of his life. All his life, he had worked extremely hard. With a few near misses in death, he was certain that he wanted a safer lifestyle.
"Master Abel, I'm sure that I want to join the Abel family!" Marcy had changed the way he calls Abel as he said firmly.
"All right, then you'll be the professional trainer for the Abel family." Abel nodded, then turned to steward Ken and said, "Ken, prepare 5000 gold coins for Marcy for his training fees for Black wind and also make arrangements for her family in terms of residency."
"Thank you, master! Marcy bowed.
'Yes, master!" Ken bowed too.
"All right, if there's nothing else, you are all dismissed. I'm going to help Black Wind now.
Abel said, waving his goodbyes to both Ken and Marcy.
In noble's etiquettes. There were different ways to address a person, although the differences were small, they were quite delicate. If the person you are addressing had a certain status you just address them with something that showed respect and distance. If someone was closer to you, you could address them less formally to reflect your closer relationship
Abel was also very satisfied. Marcy's experience would allow Black Wind to receive the same training that was in the Orc empire. Looking at the somewhat confused Black Wind on the side, it didn't realize that its relaxation period is coming to an end and the training would start soon. Abel then softly padded Black Wind's head and took it back to his bedroom for "mount enhancement".
At the end of the "mount enhancement", Abel returned Black Wind to Ken, who had come to deliver 10 days of food for Abel. Ken now had to take Black Wind to Marcy. Starting from today, Black Wind was to live and train like any other mount wolves that were in the Orc empire.
After Ken and Black wind were sent away, Abel put Ken's food for the 10 days into a personal locker. If the food were left outside, the meat, cakes, milk and other food would've all went bad in a few days. Fortunately, there was now a personal locker, which has enough storage space for Abel to store 10 days worth of food.
Abel then closed the doors and Windows, used his magic to open the scroll of Town Portal, and the wonderful rippling portal appeared. He then traveled through the portal as he had once again arrived in Rogue encampment.
The rogue encampment was quiet as usual. Other than the sound of the water and the wind, was the same white tent that stood there. The only thing standing between the sky and the ground was Abel.
Afterward, Abel took out his hourglass and laid it on the ground for the first day of his basic wizard meditation practice. It seemed that this environment was more conducive to meditation. At the very beginning, he had already entered the back of his mind, and the magic began to be drawn into the pattern of the rank 1 wizard.

Chapter 128: Four Months
At the end of the daily meditation session, Abel took out the attribute sign and placed his hands on it. A flash of white light and a set of data appeared on the attribute card.
Power: 12.21
Speed: 2.50
Constitution: 5.05
Will: 12.02
Mana: 10.1
When Abel finished meditating by himself, he felt like his power of will had increased a little, but such a small incremental growth would not show on the attribute card. It probably suggested that the growth was less than 0.01. He was ready to double down on his meditation training for the next few days and take a look at the data again. Every time he finished a meditation session, his mana would only increase by 0.1. If he wanted to increase his mana to 120, it would take him a long time, even in Rogue encampment.
After meditation came "fireball" training. He wanted to empty his mana he had just gained and meditate to recover again. After a day of training, Abel opened his Horadric cube as his power will suddenly noticed a message on the fireball symbol on the skill tree.
"fireball"
Produces magical fire arrows
Mana cost: 2.5
Current skill level: 0
Fire damage: 2-5
Experiences until next level up: 2876/5000
Abel's experience with the "Fireball" spell had already reached half of the required experiences in terms of the next ability increase. Due to his successful training with the spell, he was also able to cast it within split seconds. If it was for an ordinary wizard, they had to use the power of will to draw the pattern every time, which would cost them much more time as well as draining the power of the will.
But Abel's mana was still too low. If he had 120 worth of mana, he would've been able to increase the number of fireballs he could strike out continuously. Since his low mana had affected severely for his mana regeneration, Abel observed that it would take up to 5 minutes to just recover a tiny bit of his mana.
After a few days of meditation practices, Abel has confirmed that in Rogue encampment, he needed to undertake three meditation sessions. This was about three days' worth of practice until he could increase his will by 0.01 points. The rogue encampment was already a place that was filled with strong magical power. It was even a few times stronger than the magic towers. For an ordinary wizard meditating the magic towers, they wouldn't be able to increase their power of the will by 1 point even after many years of training.
Wizards were known to possess terrifying spells and had a long life span. But now, Abel understood the response of "You win some, you lose some." Although wizards had a much higher life expectancy than any ordinary people, they had to spend most of their life undertaking meditation practices in order to increase their magic strength.
Abel's everyday routine was the same as the days passed quickly. During the day time, Abel trained at the magic towers. At night, he would return to his mansion on Triumph Boulevard to help Black Wind with its'"Mount enhancement." When he was finished, he would enter Rogue encampment for meditation practices as well as practicing his "Fireball" spell.
Four months passed, Abel had just finished another ten days of meditation practice and his "Fireball" spell training in Rogue encampment. Now, Abel had made great progress in terms of both his body and the power of the will. Since time passes differently in Rogue encampment, every night when he entered Rogue encampment and came out the next day, Abel had actually completely ten whole days of training during that period of time.
Therefore during this period of four months, Abel had actually been practicing for more than three years.
Abel then took the attribute sign from the kong kong spirit portal bag and pressed his hand on it. With a flash of white light, a set of data emerged.
Power: 15.12
Speed: 2.50
Constitution: 6.05
Will: 16.01
Mana: 160/160
Upon reaching 100 points of mana, Abel found that his mana regeneration had also reached 1 mana regained per minute, which seems to have reached the limit of the wizard's mana regeneration. Whether it was 120 mana or 150 mana, or now 160 mana, the mana regeneration was fixed at 1 mana per minute.
Abel now felt as if he was a human machine gun. The terrifying "fireball" spell had reached the point where it could continue to be shot out 10 times in a row. Finally, his spells had become destructive. At this moment, Abel imagined that if he was facing a group of Elite knights, as long as he was able to distance himself away from them, he would've been able to burn them all to death.
No wonder wizards in this world held such a high status. This matchless magical power was such a terrible tool for the wizards to suppress weapons made from all other occupations.
With the improvement of Abel's mana, he also sped up his time of practicing the "fireball" spell. He raised to rank 1. A rank 1 to rank 2 "fireball" would require 5600 points of experience which took him 3 days worth of actual time. From rank 2 to a rank 3 "fireball" required 15360 experience points and it took him around 8 days. From a rank 3 to a rank 4 "fireball" required him 30150 experience points and took him more than half a month. From a rank 4 to a rank 5 "fireball" required 50120 experience points. From a rank 5 to a rank 6 "fireball" required 5480 experience points. From a rank 6 to a rank 7 "fireball" required 06410 experience points. Just like that, 4 months had passed. A rank 7 to rank 8 "fireball" required Abel 15309 0 experience points, and he had already completed a large half of it.
Using the Horadric cube, Abel's power of the will focused onto the fireball symbol on the skill tree, and a message appeared:
Fireball
Produces magical fire arrows
Mana cost: 2.5
Current skill level: 7
Fire damage: 12-15
Experiences until next level up: 11314/143090
With Abel fully focused on his training, he realized he was able to cast his "Fireball" spell 1000 times per day. But he couldn't exceed 1000 casts, as it would result in a headache and a whirl for him. Even more, meditation seemed to have no use, as there was some kind of restrictions that limited the number of spells to 1000 per day.
This was nothing particularly bad for Abel. Other than him, no other wizard was able to cast 1000 spells per day anyways. As casting these spells required using mana, they also required the power of will to draw these picture patterns. Every cast required the concentration of the power of will and the human body had a limit. Only someone like Abel was able to achieve casting 1000 spells per day since he was able to cast directly from his skill tree.
With Abel working as hard as a monk, he eventually increased to a rank 2 novice wizard. However, he was quite unsatisfied with the rate of increasing his rank. Even though in reality it was only four months, to him, it was already three years. It took three years for him to draw a rank 2 novice wizard pattern, and this was only the beginning of the wizard rank as he was still a novice wizard. He couldn't imagine how long it would take for a formal wizard to increase rank. If he took 3 years to do this, wouldn't they take at least 10 – 20 years just to get 1 rank up?
Through the portal, Abel returned to his mansion room on Triumph boulevard. He then went to the washroom to clean away 10 days worth of dust, changed into his white robe, and walked out towards the courtyard.
After four months, Abel had already reached has reached 1 meter 85 tall. But he almost did not grow at all at night. Every night day would go into Rogue encampment to train for 10 days. But when he came back out, due to the different speeds at which time moves in this world, his physical body would immediately return to how he was 10 days ago. If it was not because of this, Abel would already an adult by this point
"Woo!! A howl came from far and near. Suddenly, Black wind, who was already taller than Abel rushed towards him.
Black Wind's force was so tremendous it had almost shaken Abel on to the ground. Immediately, Abel gave Black Wind's big brain a gentle smack. This smack made Back Wind felt so comfortable that it closed its eyes with a pleasant look. This look made Abel laugh so hard he almost choked.
In the period of four months' time, Black wind had undergone a change that was like night and day. It's height now exceeding 2 meters and his entire body was filled with black hair. It had distinctive exploding muscles on its' body, alongside with a little change in terms of its' personality. Other than being a little naughty when it was with Abel, it had a sense of dominating king in front of everyone else.
"Master Abel! Marcy followed Black wind and bowed.
"Marcy, how's Black wind's training?" Abel had been busy with wizard training recently and had little time to communicate with Marcy. Due to his intense training, his mana was now balanced with his will. The spell training was also smooth, so now had more free time to ask Marcy how Black Wind was doing
"Black Wind has finished his initial training!" Marcy looked at Black wind with a special look on his face." He continued, "Master Abel, with Black Wind's attidute now, although he doesn't live among the wolves, it is showing so many signs. I can tell that it is a King beast."
Chapter 129: Beginner Mount Black Wind
"King Orc?" It was the first time Abel had heard this term. He stared at Marcy with curiosity, waiting for his explanation.
"King Orc is the ruler of a species. There can only be one king orc among a hundred thousand of orcs, and they naturally one rank higher than common species," Marcy explained.
"What rank is Black Wind now? Abel asked
"From my experience, Black Wind had already exceeded the ultimate rank of the mount wolf species. It became a junior soul beast." .As Marcy said the word "soul beast," his eyes lit up with passion. He continued, "Mount wolves are the highest quality attacking beast among all the normal orcs. Maybe it was because of this, I never heard of a single orc species breaking through and became a king orc, not even if they grow up naturally like Black Wind."
Abel was sure at that point that the ordinary sounding "mount enhancement" technique must be some extremely precious mysterious technique. Both Black Wind and White Cloud had formed a soul chain with Abel, and despite Marcy's experience, he had never heard of an orc that could create a soul chain and bond with another species."
Especially for White Cloud, since Abel has been using the "mount enhancement" technique on it, Abel no longer needed to use the orc's sky sparrow control card 36 to control White Cloud. He only needed to use their soul chain to connect with each other.
Now, since Black Wind had become a king orc, could White Cloud become a king orc as well? Up to this point, Abel's heart was burning with passion. But when he thought of the gigantic body of White Cloud and looked down at his hands, the burning passion quickly turned into a patch of smoke. If Abel wanted to massage White Cloud with the "mount enhancement" technique, he would at least need to be 5 meters tall.
It was a pity, the "mount enhancement" technique was a technique that required the unleashing of the power of the will. If Abel did not possess the rank of a head commander in this world, he could not pass on this "mount enhancement" technique to another person. This was one of the unique ways the orc technique sign kept its secrets.
"Master Abel, you can now ride Black Wind!" Marcy softly reminded Abel.
"Yeah!" Abel had always treated Black Wind as a pet; he almost forgot Black Wind had already become a mount.
Marshall lightly called, "Black Wind, get ready!"
Originally Black Wind was joyfully dancing around Abel, but as soon as it heard this call, it immediately lay down. Its eyes stared at Abel with yearning, requesting him to start riding."
"Master Abel, Black Wind will not let anyone rid him other than you. Therefore, the last part of the training was making you two a perfect fit for each other." Said Marcy as he helped Black Wind to put of a saddle designed specifically for mount wolves.
Abel was very familiar with these kinds of saddles, he had assassinated countless wolf riders, and he often kept their mount wolf saddles as spoils of war in his castle.
Seeing that Abel was paying attention to the saddle, Marcy explained, "this saddle was specifically designed for the body of Black Wind. Black Wind was a lot stronger than normal mount wolves, and all the ready-made ones on the market will not fit it, so Mr. Steward had invited a Master specialized in making saddles into the courtyard to help make one for Black Wind."
"No need for the rein!" Said Abel as he saw Marcy was amount to put a rein on Black Wind.
"Master Abel, you can you control it without a rein?" Asked Marcy with confusion.
Abel didn't reply, and he only smiled mysteriously. He already had the soul chain to connect with Black Wind. If he could fly White Cloud perfectly without a rein, Black Wind should be even easier. As long as they were a good fit, their fighting power could easily exceed using a rein.
"Whooo…!" Black Wind began to wiggle its body, desperately looking at Abel, hoping he could get on top of it soon.
"Coming!" Said Abel as he quickly jumped on top of Black Wind. With a move of heart, Black Wind jumped up from the floor.
Black Wind felt the presence of its owner on top of it. It was happy since Abel was the only being in this world who was able to connect with it. Abel was the most important thing for Black Wind. Ever since Black Wind was born, it stayed with its Abel. Although it used to be naughty, after a few months of training, it understood its purpose in life.
"Go!" Abel said softly. Black Wind's limbs began to generate energy along with its massive body. It tensed up all its muscles, and soon Black Wind had already rushed outside like a knife slicing through the wind.
Alongside the main road of the courtyard, Black Wind arrived at the front gate like a strike of lightning.
Suddenly, Abel heard Loraine's voice from behind, "Big brother Abel, I want to ride too!"
"Back!" Abel lightly padded on Black Wind's neck. Marcy was stunned as Black Wind did a quick 360-degree turn. It did not even slow down the slightest bit, and it was already back by the side of Loraine.
An extremely speedy turn like this had made the life long mount wolf trainer Marcy question if Black Wind was even a mount wolf. This ability had exceeded all mount wolves by a long shot. He never even knew turning without decreasing speed could even be done.
As Black Wind ran back to Loraine, Abel reached out his hand and held Loraine by the waist. With a slight jerk, Loraine was already on the back of Black Wind.
Black Wind then speeded towards the front gate again. But this time, it directly jumped over the 5 meters tall front gate and continued to speed on to Triumph boulevard.
"Black Wind, faster!" Said Loraine as she held onto the neck of Black Wind and laughed. She didn't seem to mind the speed at which Black Wind was going.
Hearing the support of Loraine, Black Wind increased its speed again. Abel felt like he was on his friend's sports car from his past life. The houses and trees of each side fell behind him at extreme speed, and from time to time, he would hear the people on the sidewalk cheering.
A black shadow speeded along the normally calm and quiet Triumph boulevard. Suddenly, a luxury horse carriage was about to come out of an intersection. Seeing they were about to crash, some people closed their eyes, and some automatically let out a scream. But in a second, the black shadow did a majestic leap, creating a marvelous curve line in mid-air above the horse carriage.
The two warhorses carrying the luxurious carriage was deeply shocked by what they had just witnessed. They felt like their souls had been shaken by a godly power; the 2 war horses couldn't help but poop themselves. A horrific smell came from the front of the carriage.
"Who was that?" Asked a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious suit. He viciously stared at Abel, disappearing into the distance.
"Master, that's Baron Abel !" The carriage driver was not an ordinary person. He was an intermediate warrior, so his eyesight was quite good.
The middle-aged men with a luxurious suit began to speak again. "Let's go back!" His voice was sounding helpless, as though as the vicious stare he just had was just a mistake.
"There's someone on top of it, and it's a mount!" Said someone on the sidewalk, realizing there was someone riding the black shadow.
"It's a black mount wolf, my god. Someone is actually riding a mount wolf!" Since Triumph boulevard was were all the most powerful nobles lived, most of them had seen a lot in their lives, so someone had also recognized the black shadow.
At the end of Triumph boulevard, a group of soldiers was on guard. Suddenly, one of them shouted, "What is that?"
A few soldiers saw a black shadow speeding towards them on Triumph boulevard. The first thing that came to their minds was to block it. However, the moment they were about to step forward, their leader had stopped them. Their leader had served in the miracle city and gained outstanding military service, and he said in a low voice, "Do you want to die? That's mount wolf, when have you ever seen a knight owning a mount wolf in Bakong City?"
They exited Triumph boulevard and continued to speed on to Tian Jin avenue. The roads were becoming more and more crowded, Abel moved in his heart again, and Black Wind slowed to a walking speed.
"Big brother Abel, Black Wind is very fast, even faster than a unicorn!" Said Loraine joyfully. Once again, Loraine had mentioned something that Abel did not know about. He had only seen a unicorn on the coat of arms of the Lord of Marshall. He never knew they were real animals.
If Loraine had ridden a unicorn, how high was her status actually? This question has emerged in the mind of Abel again, but Abel didn't want to pressure Loraine. He wanted to just go with the flow, and if Loraine wanted to say it, she would have done so already.
There were a lot of people in Tian Jin avenue, and they all looked at Black Wind with a puzzled expression. Many of them were also curiously looking up and down at Black Wind and Abel and Loraine on its back.
A Knight saw Black Wind, and his face looked oddly surprised. There was not a single person that had heard of a Knight owning a mount wolf in the entire Duchy of Carmel. After the Knight's oddly surprised look had faded away, jealousy flashed in his eyes. In this world, a good mount was like a luxurious sports car. A mount wolf was the best mount anyone could find in the holy continent.

Of course, not everyone's gaze was nice. A mount wolf was the signature mount of a wolf rider. Many people were afraid of it, especially those who had family members who died at the hands of a wolf rider.
However, no one was dared come out and block Abel's way. Everyone knew, a Knight who could possess a mount like this, carelessly riding it out on bright daylight, must have an unimaginable status.
Black Wind was only jogging, but it was still fast. The natural scent of these mount wolves could often make ordinary horses faint. War horses were often a lot stronger, but since Black Wind had reached the rank of a soul beast, they would still get very nervous when the smelled the scent of Black Wind–even if Black Wind was not targeting them.
During this entire ride, Loraine was sitting in front of Abel. She was laughing with pure joy. Abel noticed many frightened war horses along the way. At that moment, Abel jerked with his heart saying, "Black Wind, hold back your beast's impose."
It was a lot easier for Black Wind to understand these commands through its soul connection with Abel, than spoken words. Immediately, he began to hold back his vicious beast's impose. After a while, the threatening scent of Black Wind disappeared. Other than its powerful appearance, Black Wind came across as just like another ordinary harmless mount.
"Big brother Abel, can we go outside the city and take a look?" Loraine still didn't have enough fun, so she stared at Abel with her big eyes, begging for him to take her further.
"Ok. But not too long, I still need to go back to the magic tower today." Abel replied he was basically defenseless to Loraine's requests.
"Thank you, big brother, Abel." Loraine said excitedly, patting the neck of Black Wind. Then she said, "Black Wind, let's go fast. We'll go to play outside the city."
Normally Black Wind was locked up in the courtyard in a Triumph boulevard. Although it was not a small courtyard, it was still nothing compared to being outside. When it heard that it could go outside the city, it immediately began to speed up. It was faster than a normal war horse running at full speed.
"Stop!" They had arrived at the South Gate if Bakong City. A beginner Knight walked up with his war horse. The beginner Knight was a handsome young guy wearing a shiny white armor, reflecting his family's wealth.
Abel was stunned a little. He passed through the South Gate every day along his way to the magic tower, and no one had ever stopped him. Why there was someone stopping him today all of a sudden, he reached out his hand and lightly tapped on the neck of Black Wind, signaling it to stop. Black Wind let out a dissatisfied sound and came to a halt.
"Who are you? Where do you get that mount wolf?" Asked the young knight with a grounded voice, viciously staring at Abel. Then, a sudden surprised look emerged when he gazed at Loraine.
"Since when did the Royal defense force began examining the personal assets of the nobles?" Abel said after seeing that he was looking at Loraine. He was a little irritated, so he decided to bite back.
The young knight stared at Abel with a pair of cold eyes and closely looked up and down at him. Understanding different etiquettes and outfits were a crucial skill in Bakong City in the Duchy of Carmel. This was because, through these things, a person could understand the status of the person they were facing. Then, they could decide if they could offend this person, or if offending them was worth it.
Abel was suddenly carried out of the city all of a sudden on black wind with the demand of Loraine. He was still wearing an ordinary white robe. This also had to do with the fact that he had to enter and exit the magic tower constantly. The body of wizards tended to be weaker, so they would often wear a robe. Abel didn't want to be a sore thumb out, so he usually would also wear a robe.
Due to the influence of his previous world, Abel also really liked pure cotton things as they feel comfortable on the body. However, pure cotton clothing was considered as cheap in this world, and normally nobles would not wear it.
The young knight gave a cold smirk. The knight thought that the young man in front of him had clearly undergone some noble etiquette training, but his outfit was way too normal. But the young knight was doubtful. Owning an elf and a mount wolf was not someone an ordinary noble could attain.
"Big brother Abel, let's go," said Loraine, sounding a bit irritated. She only had one day to play with big brother Abel and most of the time had already been taken up by this Knight in front of her.
"If you have nothing important to say, please step away." Said Abel with a slightly angered tone, stopping him for no reason and didn't even say a word.
As a person who had deep knowledge in the noble's etiquette, the young knight knew that no big nobles would let an elf call themselves brother or sister, it was something very embarrassing. Therefore, after he heard the elf called Abel as a "Big Brother", he made a decision. He would arrest this young man under the law of smuggling orcs. There was no way a big noble could own a mount wolf like this. There had to be a problem.
"I will arrest you under the name of the Royal defence force, can you please go back with me to answer a few questions about where did you get this mount wolf!" The Knight said to Abel who was trying to comfort Loraine. He then took out a medal, showing that he was a small captain of the Royal defense force.
"Arrest me?" Abel couldn't believe what he had heard. Then took out a card on his waist and said to the Knight "Do you really want to arrest me?"
"Do you think a rubbish card like this could threaten me!" Without a doubt, the knight had already struck the card on Abel's hand on to the ground. Abel was shocked, how could a brainless young knight like this even exist, striking the identity card of Morton magic tower on the ground without even thinking.
At first, Abel was only a little bit irritated by a young knight was blocking his way. He understands that even car drivers in his past world were often stopped to check their driver's license. However, everything changed when he presented his identity card. This little gesture had become an insult to Wizard Morton.
Abel was furious that someone had insulted the identity card of his teacher. He unleashed his impose pressure. Although normally an intermediate Knight could not unleash any impose pressure, due to Abel's strength, it directly unleashed the natural impose of his body. When Black Wind felt the impose of Abel, it also unleashed his beast impose as well.
Previously on Triumph boulevard, two horses had been so frightened by Black Wind's indirect impose that they pooped themselves. Now, Black Wind was directly unleashing its beast impose on to the young Knight's war horse. The war horse let out a faint sound of "wooo", and soon it was lying motionless on the ground. The young knight on top of the war horse was shocked, but after years of Knight's training, a Knight's basic move was instinctive to him. As his war horse was falling, he did a backflip and landed on the ground putting on his defense pose. He stared at Abel with a threatening look as a white string of combat qi shot out from his body.
"Baron Abel, have mercy!" A voice came from the top of the city wall as a shadow of a man jumped down. It was the commander that Abel had fought a few days ago. Since this commander was now the man of the eldest prince, he was promoted to become vice-captain of the Royal Defence force. He was just patrolling nearby and saw someone using combat qi, only to discover that one of his men was about to fight Abel.
"We meet again!" Said Abel, staring at the commander with cold eyes.
"The honorable baron Abel, the vice-captain of the Royal defense force, Lowell, is glad to see you!" Commander Lowell said as he bowed or Abel.
At first, commander Lowell did not want to get involved. He was frightened by the power of this young intermediate knight Abel and his connection with head commander Hopkins. However, as the vice-captain of the Royal defense force, if he saw this situation and didn't go save his man, his status in the Royal defense force would be impacted.
"You really want to help him?" Asked Abel, his voice was sounding extremely cold. This matter was not only about himself but also the name of Wizard Morton.
"Did you think that you could black mail us by just knowing head commander Hopkins." Said commander Lowell. He didn't think of the fact that Abel did not care about his dignity. He was left with no choice but to do this, despite not knowing how things had started.
"I will kill him today, who can stop me?" Abel's eyes fixed on commander Lowell as he leashed even more impose from his body. He then gently lifted Loraine and put her behind his back.
Abel had decided if commander Lowell really wanted to stop him. He could have a taste of his continuous "firebomb" spell attack, it seemed like a good time to test out the power of the rank 7 "firebomb" spell as well.
