Chapter 173: Wizard Johnson

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Abel followed Wizard Morton into a huge door with a hotel sign in front of it. The hotel here was different from the hotel in other cities. The moment they entered, they could feel that the voices of people talking were very soft. There was not a single person talking loudly, which reminded him of one of those luxurious hotels from his original world.

Wizard Morton led Abel to an empty table and took a seat. Afterward, a waiter quickly stepped up. He bowed and said, “your honor Mr. Wizard. How I help you today?”

Abel was shocked to discover that the waiter was actually a novice wizard. Although he was only rank 1, he was still a real novice wizard. Why was he working as a waiter?”

“I’ll have 2 set meals and an empty glass!” Said wizard Morton to the waiter.

After the waiter had left, Abel could help but ask “teacher, that waiter just then is a rank 1 novice wizard. Why is he working as a waiter here?”

Abel knew in his heart, some of those low ranking wizards who sacrificed their comfort to wait outside of the magic tower also had a high status in Bakong City. Most wizards were nobles, and seeing them took what he thought was just some boring missions without hesitation, Abel could truly see the power of wizards.

“Because they still want hope!” Said Wizard Morton looking at the back of the waiter as he left. He then proceeded to say, “The Wizard Union had attracted a large number of official wizards to accept their missions here, so there are opportunities everywhere. Who knows, one day he might get lucky, and an official Wizard will pick him as a disciple. Things like this are very common here, so countless low ranking wizards had also been attracted here, trying to catch that tiny bit of hope.

At that moment, Abel changed his perspective towards that waiter. No one chasing their dreams should be made fun of!

“If they don’t get a job, they can not sustain their expensive training. That’s why you’ll see low ranking wizards doing all kinds of jobs around here. They are all people continuously trying to get on the path of being a wizard.” Wizard Morton exclaimed.

“Teacher, what are the wizards actually aiming for?” Asked Abel in a puzzled tone. Although he had studied spells, and already became a rank 3 novice wizard, he still thought the reasons to become a wizard was just to attack people with spells and increase lifespan. However, the Wizard Union commanded every wizard not to get involved in the battles of the world. So what were all those training for?

In the past, he knew exactly what he was aiming for with his training. That was becoming a wizard, use mana, unlock the Tome of Town Portal, go home!

However, reality had smashed this dream. The path to his home was closed, and the Tome of Town Portal opened up another gate to a ruined Dark World.

After undergoing go much disappointment, Abel still held a tiny bit of hope within him, but he was frustrated. He didn’t know where he should go or what he should do, so he just kept being a novice wizard for now.

“Do you think the world you see is the real world?” Said Wizard Morton with a smirk.

“Real-world? Isn’t this the real world?” Said Abel looking at Wizard Morton with a puzzled look.

“As I said, this world is very big, bigger than you can imagine. If you can break through and become an elite wizard, you can go even further and see even more things!” Said Wizard Morton with an optimistic expression.

“This world is very big?” Ever since Abel had entered the world of wizards, the most powerful wizard he saw was an intermediate wizard, his teacher Wizard Morton. He had never even heard of an elite wizard, let alone breakthrough to become one and aim for even higher success.

“Abel, you are the most gifted disciple I had ever seen. Out of all my disciples, you might be the only one who can walk to the end. Just remember, there are three stages of being a wizard: executed, understand, and mastery. This is what my teacher had told me, but I didn’t live up to his hope. I can never break through the understanding state!” Said Wizard Morton with a slightly sentimental tone, seemed like he had remembered something from his past.

“Execute, understand, mastery,” Abel mumbled to himself.

“Your honor Mr. Wizard, please enjoy your meal!” At that moment, the waiter said respectfully holding a platter up to the table.Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com

Wizard Morton nodded, and the waiter divided the set meals and placed them in front of Wizard Morton and Abel. Afterward, he placed a high leg crystal wine glass in front of Wizard Morton, bowed, and left.

Wizard Morton took out a bottle of red wine from the portal bag on his waist. He poured half of it on to the glass and carefully closed the lid again.

Abel recognized this was the bottle of red wine he had given his teacher as a gift. Since nowadays, he only exclusively drank the wine he combined himself, even the wine made from his own Cotter Wine House might be too cheap for his liking.

However, seeing how careful his teacher was to the wine, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. Although his teacher never asked for another bottle of wine, he knew his teacher love wine a lot, but he had never given him another bottle ever since.

Abel put his hand in his portal bag. Since an everyday item such as wine could be put into his public portal bag, it was very convenient for him to take it out. When he put his hand in, he realized there were two extra bottles of red wine. These unique, out of the world red wines were combined with multiple ultra-luxurious red wines from the Cotter wine house through his Horadric cube.

Before Abel could even speak as he placed the two bottles of wine on the table, a voice suddenly came from somewhere, “Morton, Long time no see!”

Abel was shocked a little. Since he had become an elite knight, his powerful sense was like an instinct already. How could anyone get so closed without him even realizing it?

“Johnson, what are you doing here?” Wizard Morton stood up and hugged an old man with a grey robe.

When Abel saw the two hugged each other, he knew his teacher, and Wizard Johnson must be very close friends. Although a hug could also be seen as an expression of close friendship to normal people, to a wizard, a hug could signify both parties were exposing their most vulnerable side to each other. When two wizards hug, they were getting rid of every single defense from their body to have an intimate connection.

Wizard Johnson sat by the side of Wizard Morton, and brush on his portal bag. A wine glass appeared in his hand.

“Give me some, I’m dying of thirst,” said Wizard Johnson, tipping is wine glass towards Wizard Morton.

Wizard Morton first put the two bottles of red wine on the table into his portal bag. He then took out the bottle of half-empty red wine from his portal bag, after he poured half a cup, he closed the lid again.

“Old bastard, you are so stingy.” Said Wizard Johnson, holding up the wine glass in his hand.

Seeing his teacher Wizard Morton being called an ‘old bastard’ by the even older looking wizard Johnson, he couldn’t help but giggle.

Wizard Morton did not care about what Wizard Johnson had said. He only stared at Wizard Johnson in pity as Wizard Johnson drank up all of his wine in one sip.

“What wine is this?” Wizard Johnson’s eyes began to sparkle as he immediately reached his hand towards the bottle. However, all he got was just a bunch of air. The bottle was already in the hand of Wizard Morton.

“Seeing how fast you had drunk your wine, any good wine will be spoiled by you.” Said Wizard Morton looking at Wizard Johnson in disdain.

Although that’s what Wizard Morton had said, he still poured about half a cup of wine for Wizard Johnson.

Wizard Johnson took a small sip of the red wine and enjoyed himself for a moment. Afterward, he gazed over at Abel and asked: “Is this your disciple?”

“Yes, he’s my new disciple. I’ll just be taking him here to get his wizard badge,” Said Wizard Morton with a thankful look on his face.

“Oh, he must be the one who gave you this red wine, isn’t it?” Wizard Johnson asked.

“Yeah!” The moment he said this, he realized something was wrong. He immediately followed, “Why do you want to know?”

“No wonder you had accepted him as your disciple. If I can have such good wine, I will accept him as my disciple as well,” Said Wizard Johnson seriously while nodding his head.

“What are you doing here?” Asked Wizard Morton.

“Recently there were a lot more worgens appearing around the Duchy of Carmel. Ever since you gave me the dead body of the captain wolf rider of Flaurling, the report had stated that the worgens are doubling down on their force around here. So I’ve been sent here to investigate.” Said Wizard Johnson, sounding even more serious.

Abel felt a cool breeze blew upon his heart. He had done too many bad things to the worgens and took too many benefits from them. Could this operation by the worgens be targeted towards him?

However, he didn’t have the guts to tell his teacher about this. Some of the benefits he gained include the transformation necklace, Kong Kong spirit portal bag, large amount of potions, as well as the treasures from the wolf rider captain of Flaurling. He got the transformation necklace when during his killing of the prince. Although the royals might not know about this, it was still better to keep this as a secret to minimize his tension with the royals. While in regards to the Kong Kong spirit portal bag, it was his largest storage space, it was where most of his assets were stored.
