848 Understanding (Three Chapters in One)
Abel didn't 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
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Level: Level 16 Wizard
Wizard registration place: Wizards Guild of Leante City in the Holy Continent
Level 16 Wizard Certification Place: Wizards Guild of the Kingdom of St. Ellis in the Holy Continent
A simple message was sent to the entire Central Continent Wizards Guild's local branches through the Wizards' Guild's teleportation circle, and every wizard who saw this information was stunned by the age.
In the Central Continent, even if there are resources that 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 it can achieve such achievements at this age, how strong its talent must be.
So while Abel was dining in the hotel, his information had already been known to many organizations and nobles, and they all wanted to pull this amazingly talented young wizard into their forces as soon as possible.
There have been five high-level wizards in the history of the Central Continent who became high-level wizards before the age of twenty, and except for two of those five wizards who fell unexpectedly, the final achievements of the remaining three wizards were extremely amazing.
There are many difficulties in the promotion of wizards, the first is the bottleneck period, which is almost insoluble, only constantly stimulating wizards through various things.
In the study of the bottleneck period by wizards, the most likely to break the bottleneck period is the assessment between life and death, and there is a high chance that the bottleneck may be broken.
However, when a wizard is promoted, he must have a magical environment, if there is no protection around, then the wizard will fail to be promoted because there is no magical environment, and if there is protection, then the wizard cannot really be touched by the great terror between life and death.
However, the promotion of intermediate wizards to senior wizards has a process that requires strengthening wizard crystals, if this process occurs before the age of twenty, then even if the wizard crystals do not reach the best strengthening, they can be completed later, and the difficulty is not too difficult.
And as long as the age of twenty is over, the difficulty of the wizard crystal will increase by dozens of times if it wants to be completed.
This is the difference between becoming a high-level wizard before the age of twenty and after the age of twenty, and it is precisely because of this that various organizations and nobles will pay some attention to the high-level wizard who is only 19 years old at the age of Abel.
It's just that if Abel knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say, you think too much.
Although the world said that he was a peerless genius, he knew that everything about him came from the Heradic Cube, from the support of the dark world behind him.
Although he was only 19 years old on the surface, it was only his age in the Holy Continent, he had been cultivating in the dark world for decades, and every bit of his achievement was achieved through his persistent cultivation.
His best conditions were the magical environment and the crystal nuclei provided to him by countless Blue Howler Rabbits, so that he could cultivate in the best environment and with the best resources he thought.
However, his wizard crystal can be said to be the best, and he has full confidence in this, because when his wizard crystal appeared, even this world had the intention of killing him.
The adventure captain carefully answered Abel's question, but unfortunately because he was just an ordinary adventurer, he only knew some ordinary things, and he knew very little about nobles and wizards, and had little understanding of the Central Continent.
It was a pleasant for Abel, and it was a torturous conversation for the adventure captain finally ended, and the conversation with a high-level wizard, although Abel was still very good at talking, but the sense of oppression in his heart was difficult to disappear.
"Thank you for your answer, this is your reward!" Abel took out an intermediate powerstone from an ordinary space pouch around his waist and handed it over.
Although he didn't know the consumption level of the Central Continent, he knew that a high-level wizard's monthly dedication was only five mid-level powerstones, so he took out a mid-level powerstone as a thank-you.
In order to come to the Central Continent, Abel specially prepared a large number of medium-grade powerstones produced from the mining area for consumption, you must know that the medium-grade powerstones synthesized from the Hradic cube in his hand are too pure to be allowed to flow out.
"Thank you, Wizard, for your generosity!" "The Adventure Captain took the Intermediate Powerstone with a trembling hand, he had seen the Intermediate Powerstone but had never touched it himself, because the Intermediate Powerstone only circulated among the noble.
Just as Abel stood up and was about to leave, four minotaurs nearly three meters tall walked in from outside the hotel gate, dressed in iron armor and armed with spears.
As soon as Abel saw an orc appear, his first reaction was to prepare a spell, but in an instant, he forcibly dispelled the idea of casting a spell.
First of all, this was in the city, and he didn't know what would happen if he forcibly cast a spell in the city.
In fact, he found that all the diners present did not react excessively, but some of them showed awe, but none of the Saint Continent humans saw the fear of the orcs.
The servant on the side and Daley, the boss at the counter, were all smiling on their faces, as if they knew each other.
Behind the minotaur, a middle-aged human nobleman in a gorgeous robe followed him into the lobby of the hotel.
At this time, the diners in the hall all stood up and bowed to the human nobleman.
"Your Excellency Viscount, why did you come to our shop in person?" said the innkeeper Daley, who bowed swiftly and deftly.
"Everyone, I have something to talk about with this wizard, if you don't have a good lunch, please continue, if you have a good lunch, please leave early!" said the middle-aged human nobleman who did not respond to the boss Daley, but glanced around at the diners who had stopped to eat in the hall.
"Lord Viscount, we've used it well, let's leave first!" the diners, whether they had a good lunch or not, quickly bowed down and left the hall.
Soon there were only Abel and the servants of the inn and the boss Daly in the hall, and the boss Daly himself carefully wiped a table, then glanced at several servants, and then all retreated.
"Stay outside the shop!" the middle-aged human nobleman commanded the four minotaurs.
The four minotaurs bowed in answer and came outside the door with spears in hand to prevent the others from entering the inn.
"Lord Wizard Abel, I am Viscount Ebenezer, the lord of this city, and welcome to the Central Continent!" Viscount Ebenezer faced Abel at this time and bowed down to introduce himself.
"Viscount Ebenezer!" Abel bowed back, the standard aristocratic etiquette reflecting his good aristocratic upbringing.
He wasn't surprised as to how this city lord, Viscount Ebenezer, would know that he had come to Onnu City, but he didn't expect to find him so soon.
"Lord Wizard Abel, on behalf of the Stan Empire today, I invite you to join the Empire and become the Empire's enshrinement!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a smile on his face.
Originally, this kind of invitation should not be made by a nobleman of the level of Viscount Ebenezer, but should be invited by a higher level or a high-level wizard of the same level as Abel, but when Viscount Ebenezer got Abel's information, he immediately contacted the Empire, and the Empire asked him to contact Abel first.
As soon as such a genius wizard appears, there will definitely be an organization or an empire to fight for it, the Stan Empire does not have much advantage, it is possible to keep Abel if it is contacted first, if it is too late, it is likely that there will not even be a chance at all.
"Viscount Ebenezer, I just arrived in the Central Continent, and I don't know anything about it here!" Abel politely rejected Viscount Ebenezer's request.
Viscount Ebenezer breathed a sigh of relief, there was no disappointment on his face, he came today to be entrusted by the Stan Empire to make a request, as for whether Abel accepted him or not, he didn't care.
To be honest, he didn't believe that Able would directly agree to this request, such a genius wizard would be much stronger to enter any wizarding organization than to enter the Stan Empire.
"Master Abel, what do you need to know, I can give you some answers!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a smile.
Abel did not refuse the kindness of this Viscount Ebenezer, because this is Onnyu City, the city where the super teleportation circle returning to the Holy Continent is located, and it may be helpful to deal with the city lord in the future.
"Viscount Ebenezer, why are your bodyguards all orcs?" Abel was very puzzled just now, and he asked directly.
"You're talking about the four minotaurs, who are hardworking, strong, and loyal, so most of the nobles like to hire minotaurs as guards!" Viscount Ebenezer explained with a smile.
Abel was a little silent, he couldn't accept this conversion at once, although he had already estimated that the orcs might live in peace with humans in the Holy Continent, but the fact that the orcs were completely integrated into human life in front of him made him unable to believe it.
He had experienced many battles with the orcs, he had seen the brutality of the orcs, and he had also seen the madness of the orcs, and he never thought that the orcs of the Central Continent could serve as the guards of the human nobles.
You must know that the identity of the guard has already shown that the Viscount Ebenezer in front of him can entrust his life to the hands of the four minotaurs.
"Master Wizard Abel, you are from the Holy Continent, where orcs and humans should be opposed, so you are a little unaccustomed to the appearance of minotaurs, right?" Viscount Ebenezer saw Abel's expression, thought of Abel's birth continent in the data, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I used to fight with the orc empire in the Holy Continent, but 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 look at the power it represents, behind our Stan Empire is the Land of Ice and Mist, basically every empire has a powerful organization behind it, and the existence of the empire is to provide talents and resources for those organizations!"
"How big is the Central Continent?" Abel then asked.
"It's huge, the twelve empires occupy most of the land in the Central Continent, but there is still a large amount of land that belongs to the world of spirit beasts!" Viscount Ebenezer also seemed to be 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 to 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 Outer Heaven Demon came to the Central Continent and tempted the knights and made them believe in him, the knights have become his loyal war machines, they have captured the population and robbed the resources.
And at that moment, when the Central Continent was ravaged by the Outer Demons, several powerful wizards appeared, and they severely damaged the Outer Demons, driving the Outer Demons and his men to a corner of the Central Continent, which was the Evil Country!
Since then, knighthood has become a taboo in the Central Continent, and anyone who dares to practice the way of knighthood will be strangled!" Viscount Ebenezer said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, Viscount Ebenezer knew much more than the adventurer, and although he could not tell some of the details, he had already explained the reasons for the fall of the knights.
"Viscount Ebenezer, could it be that the demons outside the sky only tempt knights, and he doesn't tempt other professionals?" Abel asked puzzled.
You must know that there are orcs in the Central Continent, those orcs should be better tempted, why would they choose knights to tempt?
"Yes, the Outer Heaven Demon only tempts knights, and he can make knights stronger!" Viscount Ebenezer said as if he had thought of something, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Thank you so much for your answer, it's very helpful to me!" Abel thanked Viscount Ebenezer as he bowed down.
"Master Wizard Abel, if you don't dislike it, you can go to my City Lord's Mansion to live, the environment here is too noisy, and it will also affect your cultivation!" Viscount Ebenezer invited Abel.
Abel hesitated, for Viscount Ebenezer was telling the truth, and that he had become accustomed to living in a spacious house, and although the rooms in such a small inn were relatively clean, they were still far from those of a nobleman.
"Viscount Ebenezer, I accept your kindness, and I would like to buy a courtyard in the city of Annew, can you please recommend it?" Abel did not refuse, and then asked.
Because of the super teleportation circle, he will definitely return here, he has a huge amount of wealth in his hands, he doesn't want to treat himself badly, and buying a courtyard to live in is a good choice.
More importantly, he wanted to study the crystal angel statue in the pineal gland in his brain, for reasons of secrecy, and for reasons of his own safety, he wanted to know what effect the crystal angel statue in his brain had on him.
In the Super Teleportation Circle, due to the short time, he did not study the Crystal Angel Statue too much, and the longer this matter dragged on, the more uneasy he became.
"Master Abel, no problem, go to me first, I will send someone to inquire, and I will definitely find you a satisfactory residence!" said Viscount Ebenezer with great joy.
Abel wants to buy a house in Onnu City, so he has a connection to the city, whether he lives here or not, it will make the city nominally have a high-level wizard, and he is also a genius high-level wizard.
"Please!" said Viscount Ebenezer as he stood up and bowed with a salute, then he turned back to the boss Daley who was probing and ordered, "Put the wizard's expenses in my account, and I will let the butler find you when I get back!"
Then, without waiting for the boss Daley to answer, Viscount Ebenezer took the initiative to step forward and push the door open.
Abel smiled and humbled with him, and walked out of the hotel together.
Out of the hotel, Abel discovered that the four minotaurs were only part of the guards of Viscount Ebenezer, and that there were twenty minotaurs waiting outside.
He couldn't help but think of what the diners said about Viscount Ebenezer having an army of 1,000 spearmen, and the 1,000 spearmen were all composed of minotaurs, in that case, the actual combat effectiveness of these 1,000 spearmen would not be low.
Boarding the carriage of the city lord, the two war horses pulled the carriage towards the side of the city mansion.
Able 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, and it was no wonder that the lord of the city, Viscount Ebenezer, had a thousand spearmen to maintain security.
"Lord Wizard Abel, although Onniu City is not big, it is rich in spirit beasts and medicinal herb resources, so there are not many pedestrians in the city, in fact, most of the adventurers are in the forest outside the city, and autumn is the time when there are the most prey!" Viscount Ebenezer introduced to Abel.
He seemed to want to let Albert know something about the city of Onny, so he made a special mention of the city's characteristics.
"How can I see that the faces of the people here are a little pale?" Abel said, pointing to the ordinary residents on the road.
The inhabitants of the area were generally pale, and he thought it was an exception at first, but as the carriage progressed, he saw more and more pale residents.
"Did you know that the evil country will erupt every few decades, and that kind of aura will greatly reduce the crop yield in the Central Continent, in order to prevent this, every city has stored some food in case of a crisis, but this time the crop production that broke out a few years ago is more serious than before, and the distribution of food has already begun, which can only ensure that these people will not starve to death!" said Viscount Ebenezer with a long sigh.
Abel's eyes moved, could it be that the reduction in crop yield in the Holy Continent was also the cause of that evil country?
Listening to what Viscount Ebenezer said, the evil aura that erupted a few years ago coincided with the time when the crop yield of the Holy Continent was reduced, but how powerful the outer demons of the Evil Country were, so that the distant Holy Continent could also be enveloped by his aura.
"The same is true of my hometown Holy Continent, where the crop yield has been reduced and many people have died!" Abel also said with emotion.
"Lord Wizard Abel, don't you care about your hometown wizards' guild? It is unlikely that a war will break out in the Central Continent, and if there is a conflict between the various forces, they will solve it through other means, and they will not choose war. Viscount Ebenezer was also a little curious about the Holy Continent, he said.
"Viscount Ebenezer, tell me about the Wizards' Guild?" Abel asked, who didn't know much about the Wizards' Guild here.
"Lord Wizard Abel, you have found the wrong person, I don't know much about the affairs of the Wizards' Guild, but the enshrined wizard in my city knows a little, please introduce you then!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a smile.
As he spoke, the carriage had come to a luxurious aristocratic building, and in front of the door was a fountain that spewed out crystal columns of water.
The emerald green meadow was so neatly manicured that it looked like a carpet on the ground, and a few little beasts were playing on it.
From the main road to the aristocratic buildings, there is a stone road paved entirely with square stones, each of which is extremely smooth, making this modest road much smoother than the main road.
The building itself is supposed to be many years old, and the stones used for its construction have turned gray due to the erosion of time, but it is this color of time that makes the building more aristocratic.
The carriage came to a halt in front of the building's gate, and a butler in a black robe stepped forward and pulled the door open.
Viscount Ebenezer stepped out of the carriage first, and then saluted Abel.
As Abel stepped out of the carriage, he lamented that no matter where they were, the aristocracy was a privileged class.
"Butler, send some careful servants to the courtyard on the left side to take care of the wizard's daily life!" Viscount Ebenezer instructed the butler, and then he turned back to Abel and said, "First of all, you can rest in the courtyard on the left, and I will contact you immediately for the courtyard you want to buy!"
"Viscount Ebenezer, excuse me!" Abel bowed in thanks.
The housekeeper took Abel to the courtyard on the left side of the City Lord's Mansion, which was a small courtyard composed of a living room, dining room, study, and bedroom, with almost all the facilities.
And there are four male servants in the courtyard, and the other two good-looking maids are responsible for taking care of Abel's daily life.
It can be seen that Viscount Ebenezer is very attentive to Abel, and from Abel's aristocratic etiquette, he knows that Abel was born in a noble, so everything he is preparing now is based on aristocratic service.
As he watched the courtyard, a valet walked in.
"My lord, the wizard of Giok outside begs to see you!" said the manservant, bowing down.
"Please let him in!" Abel said with a wave of his hand.
This Giok wizard is probably the worship wizard of the City Lord's Mansion, and this is the first wizard he has seen outside the super teleportation circle.
Wizard Geok knew from his aura that he was a junior wizard, almost around the seventh level, and his attitude was a little restrained.
"I've seen Wizard Abel!" he said, making a wizarding salute.
"Wizard Geoc, please come here to ask for advice, I'm disturbing your cultivation!" Abel said apologetically, and then made a gesture to sit down.
"It's my pleasure to help you!" said Junior Wizard Geoc, seated at the bottom of the parlor.
"Wizard Geok, what are the wizard cultivation resources in the Central Continent?" Abel asked first.
In fact, Abel wanted to ask this question at the super teleportation circle garrison point, but the attitude of the chubby senior wizard at that time made him not have the idea of staying longer, so he didn't ask it until now.
When he was in the Holy Continent, the cultivation resources of wizards were mainly potions to enhance the effect of meditation, and fresh crystal nuclei could not be used normally by ordinary wizards.
"Master Wizard Abel, the wizard's cultivation resources are mainly magic stones, and the magic stones drive the magic array, and some wizard cultivation potions have a special effect on meditation, but the value is very high. The junior wizard of Geok paused, and then said, "If there is the best cultivation resource, it is the light stone!"
"What's the Light Stone?" Abel asked, interrupting him.
"After killing the evil knight, you can get a light stone, and meditating after using the light stone can greatly improve the meditation effect!" explained the junior wizard of Geok.
Abel then realized that the evil knight was actually a resource, and according to the junior wizard of Geoc, this resource should be the most effective of all resources.
"Of course, it is not easy to kill the evil knights, they are very powerful, and high-level wizards who are less than seventeen are not allowed to go to carry out the task of strangulation, so the ordinary light stones are flowing out of the hands of high-level wizards, and the number is very small, and most of the high-level wizards of this resource will trade with the wizarding organization!"
"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 sky-high at his level, and the number of his intermediate powerstones is not much, and the most on his body is synthetic powerstones, but they cannot be traded.
He can obtain resources by opening a restaurant, selling Master Wine and Grandmaster Wine, or refining potions, but this is not a Holy Continent, and once he exposes some secrets, he may attract the prying eyes of other wizards.
This time, he only brought Johnson, Feiyan, Bai Xue, Baiyun, and Black Wind with him, and brought the War Commander Spirit and four hundred small war puppets armed with continuous fires to strengthen the city crossbow, which was all his strength.
These strengths are okay in the Holy Continent, but in this unknown Central Continent, he does not dare to guarantee his own safety.
"The easiest way to earn resources in the Central Continent is to enshrine, a low-level wizard like me only needs to use low-level magic stones to activate the Gathering Magic Array every day, so the city offering gold like Onnyu City is enough for my cultivation!" said the junior wizard of Giok with some self-deprecation.
"Wizard Geoc, you don't have a magic tower?" Abel asked in surprise.
Listening to the junior wizard of Giok talk about using the magic gathering array a few times, Abel thought that he was afraid that he didn't have a magic tower, but how could a wizard who was already level seven not have a magic tower?
"Since the appearance of the light stone, many wizard apprentices with bad talent have also been successfully promoted to become official wizards, and the talented wizard apprentices will be absorbed by various organizations, and the wizard apprentices with bad talents, like me, have spent countless costs, and finally owed a lot of debts, so I got a light stone, I became an official wizard by using the light stone, but my potential has been consumed a lot by this promotion method, I am still lucky, after so many years of cultivation, I have also been promoted to a seventh-level wizard!" Junior Wizard Giok said in a deep voice.
"The effect of this light stone is similar to the forcible promotion potion!" Abel couldn't help but say.
There is also a similar potion in the Holy Continent, which can forcibly promote a low-level wizard in a full state of level 5 to a level 6 junior wizard, but this promotion will forever make this wizard lose the ability to be promoted.
"No, forcibly promoting the potion is to completely lose hope, but Guangshi can retain some hope, as long as he keeps cultivating, then he can continue to be promoted!" said the junior wizard of Geok, with a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
Abel felt the determination of the junior wizard of Geoc, and couldn't help but feel respect.
"So it's impossible for a wizard like me to own a magic tower, and those who have the financial resources to own a magic tower are only those wizards who have been cultivated by the organization!" Speaking of the magic tower, the junior wizard of Giok was still very envious in his eyes.
Abel had already understood at this time why the junior wizard of Geok was already level seven, and there was still no magic tower, the reason was probably the light stone, which made many trainee wizards who could not be promoted become official wizards, which greatly increased the number of official wizards.
The number of official wizards in the Holy Continent is very small, and each principality will provide a part of its magic tower with resources in order to retain these official wizards, and because of the scarcity of wizards, the Wizards Guild of the Holy Continent will also let the wizards owe credit, so that they can get the magic tower in advance.
However, after there are more formal wizards in the Central Continent, this method is unrealistic, and the result is that only formal wizards with good talent can get more resources, while formal wizards with poor talent can only rely on gathering magic arrays to cultivate, and maintain their cultivation every month through the primary magic stones obtained from the offering gold.
"Thank you, Wizard Geoc, this is my gratitude!" Abel said as he took out two Intermediate Powerstones from his body and handed them to Junior Wizard Geoc.
When the junior wizard of Geoc saw the two intermediate powerstones, his eyes showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him when he took the intermediate powerstones.
Abel couldn't help but sigh for a while, a seventh-level wizard would actually take such a fancy to two intermediate powerstones, you must know that in the Holy Continent, a sixth-level wizard worships several middle-level powerstones.
