Chapter 124: Attributes

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Wizard Morton simply explained the different characteristics between the three magic spells and proceeded to say, “if a wizard wants to increase their abilities substantially, there is only one way–going to the valley of Mount Budapest to hunt a soul beast and absorb their crystal core. However, if you want to make it out alive from mount Budapest, your magical ability must be outstanding.”

“Soul beast? Crystal core?” It was the first time Abel had heard these words.

Wizard Morton then explained, “You will rarely see soul beasts in the human world since they have all been driven out. Now, the closest soul beast gathering point from the human world is the valley of Mount Budapest. That valley is a natural barrier between the humans and the orcs. Other than it’s the height of ten thousand meters, these soul beasts are also another important reason why the orcs can’t go through to the human world.”

Wizard Morton flashed the pattern in his hand. A string of white lights levitated from his hand. Meanwhile, the same string white light flashed on a shelf nearby. Through these white lights, a red gem had disappeared from the shelf and reappeared on Wizard Morton’s hand. It was an irregular red crystal. However, it was not transparent.

“This is a crystal core, it’s one of the most important resources for wizards,” said Wizard Morton as he handed the red crystal to Abel.

Abel took the red crystal in his hand and closely examined it. This thing looked like solidified blood. Can I put this thing in my mouth? Wouldn’t it pierce the body?

“Teacher, how do you absorb this thing?” Abel asked with confusion.

“You can’t absorb this!” Said Wizard Morton laughing loudly. He then proceeded to say, “crystal cores can only be absorbed 2 hours after the soul beast has died. At that time, the crystal core was still in a soft plastic like state. If you wait longer than 2 hours, it will solidify like this, and you can no longer absorb it. However, these things are one of the main components for making rune signs, there are different ranks to it, and it can make rune signs with different abilities.”

“If crystal cores are that important, there must be a lot of wizards in Mount Budapest.” Asked Abel curiously.

“Mount Budapest is a very dangerous place, and these soul beasts are not easy to kill ether. The reason why they are called soul beast is that they are not only a lot more powerful than normal beasts, but they are also a lot smarter. If you go with a group, you might not see one single soul beast at all. Even if you are lucky enough to see one, they might be so powerful that even an entire group of wizards might not be able to take one down. This is only one reason why so few people go to Mount Budapest. Another is that there are a lot of orcs flying above Mount Budapest with their flying beasts. These orcs will often ambush on the human side of Mount Budapest, to kill off wizards. Therefore, other than wizards who are well trained in battles, normal wizards will not go there,” said Wizard Morton sounding very serious. It seemed like he had a very vivid impression of Mount Budapest. Wizard Morton then proceeded to say, “Not all soul beasts have a crystal soul. You might find one by only killing one low-rank soul beast, or never find one despite killing hundreds of high-rank soul beasts.”

“Other than Mount Budapest, are there other places I can hunt these soul beasts?” Abel yearned these crystal cores that could to increase his abilities quickly. However, he was not ready to take such a risk, especially when he did not have all the powerful equipment with him.

“Other than Mount Budapest, you will need to go over the Earth-Dividing Mountain range and enter the double moon forest. Earth-Dividing Mountain range is the dwarf’s territory. And double moon forest is the elves’ estate. The dwarfs are not too bad to deal with since most of them are quite nice to humans, but the elves hated humans. There are a lot of risks involved in you want to go to the double moon forest. The elves rule the forest. No opponent would win if they fought in the forest,” Wizard Morton continued “The elves will not let any human use any portal magic circle in the double moon forest, so you have to walk through the Earth-Dividing Mountain range. Even if you successfully made it to the double moon forest, the elves will not easily let you hunt soul beasts in their forest. That’s why so few people go there.”

Wizard Morton looked at Abel with a warning and said, “You are still too young for this. You don’t have adequate defense techniques, so you can not go there. I don’t want my disciples to die outside.”

Abel then gave out a look of extreme obedience and said, “Teacher, you don’t need to worry. I will listen to your arrangements.” However, in his heart, he wanted to get on White Cloud and fly over Mount Budapest to have a look. He was an intermediate knight with some wizard self-defense skills, so he should be able to make it back alive.

“You have met your two students of wizardry brother and sister, right? Although they are a bit naughty, they are quite gifted. I hope you guys can be nice to each other. Well, that’s enough for today. Now I will examine your body’s attribute and estimate how gifted you are.”

Said Wizard Morton as he took out a palm-sized square sign from his waist pouch.

Abel’s eyes froze, no matter which way he looked, the pouch did not look like it could fit a palm-sized sign. It must be a portal bag, but he just wasn’t sure if it was as big as his.

Wizard Morton saw Abel’s gaze fixed on his pouch, and he couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “you have good eyesight, this is a portal bag. When you become an official Wizard, you can also buy one from the Wizard Union. Every official wizard can only buy only one of these portal bags in their life.

After Abel heard that every official Wizard could only buy one in their life, he began to ponder. He was already enjoying the benefit of an official Wizard.

“Teacher, how big is it?” Asked Abel curiosity staring at Wizard Morton’s portal bag.

“It can perfectly fit this table!” Wizard Morton said, pointing at a nearby table.

Abel looked at the table. It was around 1 meter in length and width. So the bag should have a space of around 1 square meter. After he calculated, he realized what he had taken from the worgen was a real treasure. An intermediate wizard like Wizard Morton could only get one around 1 square meter, but the one he had was like the size of an entire room. How precious was that?

Abel then asked again, “Other than the Wizard union, is there any other way to get a portal bag?”

“Of course… Kill an official Wizard, and you will get an ownerless portal bag!” Said Wizard Morton in a low voice as he stared at Abel.

Abel felt a chill running down his spine. He did not know how powerful an official wizard was, but he already got a taste of it through a mere “fireball” magic technique.

Wizard Morton then said to Abel, “Official wizards have a lot of self-defense techniques, so it is not easy to kill one. You will know in the future.”

“Ok, now come here. Put your hand on this attribute sign!” Wizard Morton said to Abel as place the attribute sign on the table.

Abel stepped two steps forward and put his hand on the attribute sign. The sign began to flash in white light. Abel felt like someone was spying on him, but as the white light of the attribute sign faded away, and this feeling of someone spying on him and also vanished.

“Ok, you can let go now!” Said Wizard Morton to Abel.

Abel took his hand off the attribute sign, and there were some words had appeared on the sign. He leaned forward to have a look, and it showed some data related to him.

Wizard Morton read the words out loud,

Power: 12.21

Speed: 2.50

Constitution: 5.05

Will: 12.02

Mana: 10

Wizard Morton lifted up his head in shock and asked: ” What is your Knight’s rank?”

Abel replied, “Rank 12 intermediate knight.”

Wizard Morton was so shocked he almost jumped. “How old are you. How could you be an intermediate knight already?” Said Wizard Morton as he looked at Abel like he had found an extremely rare gem.

Abel did not know how to reply. he only said softly, “Maybe it was because I’ve been doing Knight’s training since I was very young!”

Sweat began to pour down from Wizard Morton when he heard these words. What knight did not start doing training since they were very young? And how old was Abel? If another knight had heard these words, they might as well hit themselves with a rod and die.

Wizard Morton shook his head, “Impossible, even if you are an intermediate knight, your strength was still way too powerful.”

The most powerful strength possessed by an intermediate knight was around 4, and Abel had three times that amount of strength.

“Teacher, my strength is my gift. That’s why my strength is so powerful.” Said Abel with a lot of confidence.
