Abe the Wizard

Chapter 514 - Unwanted Ability

Chapter 514 Unwanted Ability

Dwarfs were born with a special love for wine. It was in their nature. Maybe only a small amount of humans would enjoy Abel’s Luxury Master Wine, but it was basically the dwarfs’ favorite thing in the world.

“Thrilling!” Wizard Allen let out a big breath of hot air.

After seeing Wizard Allen’s face, Wizard Larkin also quickly lifted up his little glass and poured the liquid down his throat. His eyes grew wide. It seemed like he couldn’t fathom the existence of such a strong wine. The lust for wine in his blood had been ignited all at once.

“You are right; this wine is amazing!” Wizard Larkin yelled.

Wizard Cyril did not hesitate, and he no longer complained about how small the glass was. If he kept talking, he would be missing out on his portion.

Abel lifted up the crystal jug with a smile and refilled the wine for the 3 elite wizards. By that point, the 3 elite wizards finally realized why these small glasses were suitable. If they drank a huge mouthful of it at once, maybe even a Wizard dwarf would get drunk.

Abel almost didn’t drink any luxury master wine during the entire dinner. The jug was soon cleared out by the 3 elite wizards, along with the food.

At night, Abel went to his 6 stories empty magic tower for rest after he finished serving the 3 elite wizards. Although it only had 6 stories, it’s mana concentration was just as dense.

Wizard Larkin sat in the meditation room of the magic tower. He realized something different as he started to meditate. Although he had tried to meditate after drinking, the outcome was always affected as his brain grew slower.

The wine he drank this time was a lot stronger, but somehow it allowed him to concentrate even better. He felt like the wine had energized his mind. This meditation season was way better than the normal ones he had.

Don’t underestimate this little bit of focus. If a Wizard could get a tiny bit of focus every day, it could pile up over time.

Wizard Larkin’s eyes began to flash. The taste of this wine was already a level above master wine, and now it had given him an effect like this. It seemed like he really needed to take full advantage of this opportunity since Abel was so close to the Goff Family.

He took out a communication circle and ignited it.

Soon, Old Goff’s voice emerged, “Wizard Larkin, are you calling me at this time because Grandmaster Abel is in trouble?”

Old Goff’s heart began to tense up as soon as he received a call at this time. He knew Abel needed help, but 2 rank 18 wizards were already stepping up, and Wizard Cyril was there as well. If they didn’t get through this situation, he didn’t know what would.

“Grandmaster Abel already solved everything by himself; we came late!” Wizard Larkin quickly replied in a slightly embarrassed tone. He said he came here to help Abel, but he didn’t actually get to do anything. Instead, he just had a good time drinking.

“Great, then why are you calling me?” Old Goff spirits lifted. He didn’t know how to solve the problem with 3 rank 17 wizards himself, so at least the thing was resolved. Still, Abel needed to accept a favour from him.

“Grandmaster Abel made a new wine, quickly sent someone over to discuss if we can get some back. This wine can help wizards meditate!” Wizard Larkin replied.

“Help wizards meditate?” Old Goff felt his spirits lift even more. Anything that was good for a wizard could be considered as training resources, and up to a point, these kinds of training resources would become military resources.

If Abel had enough of that wine, and if he could supply it long term, then it would become a military resource.

Up to this point, Old Goff quickly replied “Wizard Larkin, doesn’t Abel owe you a favor? Can’t you just order some from him directly?”

“Old Goff, I don’t have the face to ask. I’m still not that close with Grandmaster Abel yet. Do you know what I saw when I arrived?” Wizard Larkin helplessly recalled the 3 light beams of souls.

“What did you see?” Old Goff paused for a bit.

“3 dead rank 17 elite wizards. 3 light beams of soul in one place. It was the first time I saw something like that in my entire life!” Said Wizard Larkin, tone full of marvel.

All of a sudden, Old Goff had become speechless. He only followed in a dry voice after a long time “Grandmaster Abel did it all by himself? You guys didn’t help?”

“Didn’t you hear what I said? We came late. Cyril did help a little, but most of the work was done by Grandmaster Abel himself. Maybe after this news spreads, our Bursting Crossbows will get sold like crazy. 2 elite wizards were directly shot to death by them!” Wizard Larkin replied.

“How’s that possible!” Old Goff’s voice had grown high pitched. He knew his family made them well. He might have believed it if Wizard Larkin said it had killed a head commander, but shooting an elite wizard to death? That was too much.

“I’ve seen the dead bodies. They were shot to death by around 10 arrows from our crossbows!” Said Wizard Larkin helplessly. If he didn’t see it with his eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it either.

“Could the elves’ magic circle in combination with our Bursting Crossbows really unleash such power?”

Since that was what Wizard Larkin had said, Old Goff had no choice but to believe him. He began to seriously consider that power.

“I’ve said what I want to say. Just tell little Bernie to come to talk about the wine. He has more face than me,” Wizard Larkin waved his hand and closed the communication circle.

Old Goff was still mumbling to himself. “He killed 3 elite wizards with arrows!”

He was sure of one thing. All the dwarfs’ crossbows would soon be ordered by countless cities. No regulation could stop the ordering of something that could kill an elite wizard.

Although there were only rumors in the past, now it had been testified. A crossbow had officially become a threat to wizards.

Still, no one knew the crossbow Abel had was actually the Bursting Crossbow. It was the dwarfs’ secret weapon. Only people they called brother could get such a thing. If Wizard Cyril did not tell Abel, he would never know such powerful weapons existed.

Old Goff began to think about how he could get the most benefits from this. When the news that Abel shot 2 elite wizards to death had spread in a few days, the value of crossbows would shoot up like crazy. As the dwarfs’ only trader, he needed to get the most benefits for the dwarfs.

Meanwhile, Elite Wizard Allen and Elite Wizard Cyril also sensed the effect of Abel’s new wine. Wizard Cyril understood how close Abel was to the Goff family. So no matter how precious this wine was, as long as he needed it, they would be able to get some.

Wizard Allen was also thinking about staying at Abel’s place even longer. Firstly was for the euphoria he gained from the food, secondly was for wine, and thirdly was to deepen their relationship.

Although Abel had let Bartoli try the wine, he didn’t realize the special effect it could bring. This effect was so special, it had gained an important place in the 3 elite wizards’ heart.

At that moment, Abel was trying to figure out ways to increase his battle fort’s power. He had swapped out all the intermediate gems in the 100 little war puppets to top quality gems. It had almost taken him an hour.

Afterward, tower spirit–Flora’s voice emerged “energy replenished in the little war puppets; logarithm unknown!”

It seemed like the dwarfs who had made these puppets did not even consider the fact that someone had used top quality gems to power them.
