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.
