Abe the Wizard

rie’s personality was very different from Loraine’s.
Loraine’s personality was passive and easy-going, but Carrie’s a more independent think and, well, hard to get along with.

“Here, Loraine,” Abel took out some more bottles, “have some ration potions.
I made them just a while ago.
I’ve got apple flavor.
These are grape-flavored.
These are orange-flavored.”

As Loraine saw the many, many gifts Abel had for her, she felt like her heart was melting from happiness.
She said softly to Abel, “Thank you so much, Abel, but I can’t take them all away with me.
Don’t you need some ration potion for yourself, too?”

Abel replied, “I can make more for myself if I want.
Just take these.
You’ll need them when you’re being locked up in a cave.
Besides, even if you can’t carry them….”

Abel took out a crystal ball from his pocket, “This is a portal ball.
It’s perfect for you.
You don’t need any mana to use it.
Just use your power of the Will, and it will be activated.”

Abel had no idea how valuable his portal ball was.
In truth, it was not something that was naturally produced on the Holy Continent.
It was actually an object rewarded by the great evil being when the duergars did their worship whilst sacrificing their own kind.
Like the kong kong spiritual beast bag, it was extremely valuable because it did not require any mana to be used.

“Loraine,” Abel sighed as he watched Loraine putting her items inside the portal ball, “I wanted to give you a surprise.
I didn’t think that it’s going to be our parting gift.”

“Don’t worry, Abel.
The lifespan of a normal elf is 600 years.
I can sign a life contract with you, and that’s going to give you half of my lifespan.”

“I’ll miss you, Abel.
I’ll miss you every day.
We’ll be together for 300 hundred years, so 20 years is actually short….” Loraine blushed as she glanced towards her parents, who were too busy looking at the elven perfumes in their hands.

“Promise me, Loraine.
Don’t you ever do something stupid like that,” Abel said in a firm, yet gentle voice, “Live as well as you can, and I’ll train as hard as I can.
Since I am a rank three wizard now, my lifespan is already at about 180 years.
In the future, I’m going to be stronger, and that’s going to make me live longer.”

“Oh, sorry.
I did the math wrong.
Since you can live up to 180 years old now, and I can for 600 years if I divide by two…”

Abel interrupted Loraine before she finished speaking, “When I get stronger in the future, I’ll also live a lot longer.
Do you understand that, Loraine? After twenty years, we’ll spend every day together.
The important thing for you to do now is to train yourself properly.
I’ll always protect you, Loraine, but you must be able to protect yourself as well.”

The dinner that night felt very sad.
As Grand Duke Edwina told Abel to stay, Carrie took Loraine out of the house.
It’s going to be a while before Abel could see Loraine again.

Watching as the tears came out of Loraine’s eyes, Abel wondered if he should ever bring her back home at all.
As the two had their final look at each other, Abel opened his mouth as though to say something.

“I’ll come to visit you.” Abel didn’t actually say it out, but that looked like what he was trying to say, judging from the shapes that his mouth was making.

“Abel, I know what you have done in the human world.
While I will let you keep your identity as an elf in Angstrom City, you will be allowed to live here for some time being.
Actually, live here for a while.
I need to know more about my future son-in-law.”

Grand Duke Edwina’s words made it difficult for Abel to refuse.

According to Abel’s original plan, he wanted to leave Angstorm City and continued his life as a mercenary.
Either that, he could also be an adventurer that trains himself during his journey.
But since Grand Duke Edwina said it, he might just be an elf for the time being.

Living in Angstorm City wasn’t too bad.
In fact, Abel could learn a lot of new things here.
Besides, since this entire place was governed by Grand Duke Edwina, safety wouldn’t be a problem at all.
Even if the Wizard Union knew that he was here, no one dared to come here to kill him.
