Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After looking at the landscape for a while, Abel remembered that he had made a telescope. He took it out from his portal bag said, “Here, use this,” as he handed the telescope to Loraine.

Loraine curiously held the telescope on her hand, not knowing what to do with it. Abel let out a small laugh. Loraine suddenly put up an irritated look. She thought Abel was mocking her.

After seeing this charming irritated look on Loraine, Abel could only laugh. He taught Loraine how to use a telescope correctly. The moment Loraine had witnessed the magic of a telescope, she had completely forgotten what had just happened and began to giggle again.

It was October, and the temperature had turned cold after a while, especially when they were so high above in the sky. It was only after Loraine had settled down a little from her intense excitement. She realized the cold Wind blowing on her face was like a sharp knife. She automatically leaned against Abel.

Abel had a strong body, and the cold could do nothing to him. When he saw the look on Loraine’s face, he realized the temperature must be very low in the sky. To a person without training such as Loraine, it must be torture. He began to regret his mistake.

“Let’s go back!” Abel hugged Loraine tightly with his arms and said with a gentle voice.

“Ah!” Loraine just made a sound. She did not want to speak as she hid in the arms of Abel. At that moment, her face began to turn red within hug of Abel. The temperature in her body began to rise as well, as though the surrounding coldness had completely disappeared.

“White Cloud, let’s go back!” Said Abel as he lightly tapped on the neck of White Cloud.

White Cloud did a 360 turn in mid-air and began to fly downward. Its descent was so fast, Loraine screamed.

When White Cloud had landed, Abel help Loraine to take off her seatbelt and carried her to the ground, he then turned to Black Wind. At that moment Black Wind was silent. It seemed like the flying did not affect it at all. Abel was very satisfied. If he needed to go somewhere far in the future, he could bring Black Wind with him. Its behavior was light years ahead of the war horses. Abel remembered the first time he took his warhorse flying on the back of White Cloud, and it took them a long time until they could recover and walk again.

The moment when Abel took off Black Wind’s seatbelt, it could not help but begin to rub the seat belt mark on his neck with the soft hair on its head. Abel dodged and lightly padded on that massive skull of Black Wind. He then said to black Wind through the soul chain, “Ok, I know. I won’t tide you up again, but you need to promise you can stay safe.”

After black Wind heard the words of Abel, it lowered its head and made the woo woo sound. Meanwhile, he took out its claw and tightly hold on to the floor of the carriage, signaling to Abel that it had the full ability to stay safe.

“Ok, understand,” said Abel with a laugh.

Up to this point, Abel jumped on to the back of Black Wind and called, “let’s go down!”

Black Wind jumped out of the carriage, his leg slightly tipped on the body of White Cloud, and directly landed next to Loraine. Abel once again picked up Loraine and place her at the front. He then turned his head back to White Cloud and said, ” White Cloud, You can go now. I’ll call you when I need you!”

As White Cloud made that ghoo ghoo sound, Black Wind immediately backed off to avoid the hurricane of dust. A giant body lifted off the ground, and it’s head sentimentally gazed at Abel one last time and viciously flapped its wings. Soon, White Cloud had disappeared into the cloudy sky.

“Black Wind, go full speed and bring us back!” Abel shouted, and Black Wind accelerated into full speed. Loraine sat in front of Abel suddenly found it a little hard to breathe, so she quickly turned to Abel and leaned against his chest comfortably. In this warm environment, on top of all the exhausting thing she had done today, Loraine had fallen asleep.

Abel hugged Loraine with his arm in a somewhat loving and pity way. As Black Wind run faster and faster, the ride also became more stable. In the South Gate of Bakong City, the guards saw a familiar black shadow rushing towards them at lightning speed. They immediately stopped everything they were doing and bowed among the line of ordinary citizens waiting to enter the city. The two guards responsible for opening the noble pathway also bowed.

In the eyes of many, the black shadow sped through the noble passage. After it was gone, the guards let out a breath of relief, and everything returned to normal.

“Who was that? They were so arrogant,” Asked a noble angrily as he was blocked by a guard from entering the city.

The guard coldly gazed at that noble, pointing at a spot nearby and said, “Just there, a Royal defense force captain had stopped the man on his way earlier, he was then personally killed commander on the spot. Do you really want to know who that man was?”

“No worries, then!” The noble immediately got back on to his carriage and left. He no longer wanted to enter Bakong City.

Seeing the noble going away in embarrassment, the guard smirked. All the other people waiting to enter the gate nearby were looking at the spot where the black shadow had disappeared in terrifying shock.

“Master, welcome back!” When Abel had gotten back to his mansion, steward Ken was already waiting for him, and he stepped up and bowed.

“Shhh!” Abel whispered as he pointed towards Loraine on his chest with his finger.

Ken bowed again and opened the gate for Abel. Abel then carried Loraine off Black Wind and entered the mansion. Black Wind followed behind like a good boy.

“Master, you’ve grown up!” Ken mumbled softly.

Abel picked up Loraine and walked along the path in his courtyard. He realized many of his servants were looking at him in a somewhat surprising way. Some couldn’t help but laugh. Any servants would be shocked if they saw their noble master caring a young elf, especially when Abel was not just an ordinary noble.

Abel gently lay Loraine on to her bed and said to a maid, “When Loraine wakes up, tell her I went to the magic tower.”

“Yes, master.” Said the maid as she bowed

Abel quickly walked out Loraine’s room, but little did he know, as soon as he walked out, Loraine had sneakily opened her eyes. When she saw the maid about to ask something, she immediately reached out to her hand to stop her.

“Miss, you...?” When the maid was about to ask a question, she suddenly stopped as though she had realized something. She then gave a little smile to Loraine and did not ask the question again.

Loraine’s face was still red as she tightly held the telescope that Abel had given her in her arms. She then whispered, “Now I have this, I can see brother Abel in the sky.”

“Ken, I am very happy with Marcy’s good work. I want to tip him 2000 gold coins,” said Abel directly to Ken.

“Yes, Master. Since you have free time, I will report to you about your income lately.” Said Ken with a bow.

“Let’s see. How much did I make?” Abel’s physical property was an excuse for him to spend money. The more income streams he has, the less suspension he will raise with his unknown wealth.

“Master, the two courtyards outside of Bakong City can give you 3000 gold coins every month.” Although Ken had remembered all of this information, he still took out an accounting record to show his professionalism as he spoke to Abel.

“If the two courtyards can only generate that little amount of income, does it mean they are not good quality courtyard?” Abel asked he was not satisfied with the income.

“Master, they are already the best courtyards around Bakong City. They are all extremely high in demand.” Ken explained.

If it was a good quality courtyard, that’s all it mattered to Abel. The amount of income his property produced was like nothing compared to the six figures in his magic gold card.

“The two shops in Tain Jin avenue can bring you 20,000 gold coins of profit every month.” Said Ken looking at his accounting records.

“The Benson family are still the least stingy, their compensations are actually decent,” Abel exclaimed.

Ken did not respond. Courtyard and shops were actually two totally different types of assets. You could not compare them only based on profit. To a noble without an estate, a courtyard would be many times more valuable than a shop. Courtyards were land, and they were the true reflection of wealth and status.

“Also, the Cotter wine house. It is the most famous wine house for Cotter Wine. It can bring you 30,000 gold coins every month,” Ken proceeded to say.

“The eldest prince, oh sorry, I mean the king majesty is such a nice guy.” Abel was very happy when he heard the profit the wine house had brought. The eldest prince, Julien George, had become the King of the Duchy of Carmel a few days ago. However, at the time Abel was madly doing his training, he did not accept the palace’s invitation.

“Master, the current spending on this courtyard, including the food and salary for the servants are 10,000 every month. The details are here, please take a look,” said Ken as he flipped to a page in the accounting record and handed towards Abel.

“My dear steward, I trust you very much. You can look at it yourself.” Said Abel waving his hand.

“We can make a total profit of 52,000 gold coins every month. This is a huge amount of wealth, ” said Ken in excitement.

“Huge amount of wealth” Abel couldn’t help but smiled as he said this. He was reminded of the white robe wizard on the teleportation circle the other day. Each time it cost 10,000 gold coins if a person wants to teleport, and it can often take multiple times until the person reaches their destination. That’s a truly huge amount of wealth. His current income was nothing.
