Abe the Wizard

likely stolen from countless knights’ families throughout the years.

Those secret techniques were very useful to the kingdom.
If anyone wanted to learn, a negotiation could be hard.

Afterward, Abel notices the books about wizard inheritance.
It included Magic pattern drawing, rune card making, and magic circle.
There were even some about alchemy.
As long as a wizard specialized in one type of inheritance, he would be able to have the skills to keep him alive in the wizard world.

The amounts of stuff gathered by a thousand-year-old kingdom was scary, and they were fully on display in these bookshelves.
They basically had everything.

Abel arrived at the corner of the room and spotted a bookshelf with thousands of books without any tags.
However, he was caught off guard for a moment when he saw the title of those books.

They were about priests.
Abel had killed countless priests, but he had never gotten a full set of their spell patterns.
These books had every spell he could think of as well as a detailed explanation.

The ones about spells only took up a small portion of those thousand books.
All the other ones were the research documentation of priests.

What were the priests researching?

Abel could almost imagine it.
Dead bodies, torture, all kinds of horrific scenes.
This was how the skeleton resurrection spell was done.

Afterward, he pulled the priest’s spell books in his Varaya’s ring and left the floor with confusion.

He was shocked again when he arrived on the 17th floor.
It was just like hell.
There were human parts and organs stored in giant crystal glass.
He smelled the horrific smell of rotten flesh and herbs.

Abel passed through those crystal glasses and came across an alchemy bench, or more like a surgery bench.

There was a turn apart rotten corpse on the bench giving out a horrific smell.
Maybe the old man was doing some research before he left, and he did not put away his stuff properly.

Human research!

Abel felt a chill running down his spine.
A kingdom was supporting a rank 18 wizard, and he was doing human research deemed illegal by the wizard union in this magic tower.

This would not be a surprise if it were happening in the orc empire, but this was the human world.

Abel noticed a magic robe thrown to the grown by the side of the bench, so he scanned the corpse with his power of the will.
From its characteristic, this corpse most likely belonged to a wizard.

The old man was researching a wizard’s body?

Abel was confused; the old man had resources, why would he do something like this?

Abel didn’t know the old man before entering his magic tower, but now he had gotten a brief idea.
He was a wizard crazy for training.

A magic tower underground had almost cut off any connection with the outer world.
Wizards had a high tolerance to loneliness, but something like this was too much for most.

The old man would not do any unnecessary thing, so why was he researching a wizard’s dead body.
It was too bad that the old man was already dead.

Just when Abel felt the urge to sigh, he noticed a lambskin parchment by the side of the bench.

He snatched the parchment.
It was a hundred years old wizard experiment.
The goal was immortality.

He advanced on orc priests’ research to obtain a substance that replaced one’s body to achieve immortality.

“Crazy!” Abel wanted to burn the parchment immediately, but something stopped him.
Although these records were filled with the stink of blood, it was the first detailed documentation on a wizard body.
Abel had never heard of most of that information.

After a bit of hesitation, he put the parchment in his ring.
Afterward, he threw out a fireball towards the corpse on the bench and burned it clean.

This explained why there were so many books on the 16th floor, especially about orc priests.
If the old man had more time, he might have made progress.

Abel was not interested in continuing the research, at least not at the moment.
He was still young.
All he had was time.
Maybe he would pick up that knowledge again when he reached the age of the old man.

He left the 17th floor.
When he arrived at the 18th floor, all he saw were luxurious articles of clothing and art pieces plastered on the wall.
The floor was covered in sheep fur, and the furniture were the ones of the royals.

This was the most lively place of the tower.
There was a cup of water on a small table and countless luxurious pieces of jewelry on a large table.

Maybe the old man had decorated this place like the common world to keep himself from going fully insane.

The old man did not have any wizard followers.
He had decorated everything by himself.

The lonely still had hobbies, and the old man’s hobby was the luxuries of the common world.

Abel walked into a room on the side and found the core of this magic tower’s spirit.

Since its owner was dead and the commander spirit had taken control, Abel could easily be recognized as the new owner.

The tower began to glow, and a voice emerged like it had just woken up from a long sleep “Master, tower spirit is here to serve you!”

Abel quickly swapped out the intermediate gems in the magic tower’s energy box into top quality ones.
It was his habit since he couldn’t use it anywhere else.

“Tower spiral ignite all the magic circles!” Abel added.

“Yes, master!” Afterward, the sound of energy running through filled the magic tower.
It was reborn once again.

A magic tower with a dead owner was like a tomb, burying its owner’s wealth until eternity.

The magic circle of a magic tower would only reignite once it had a new owner.
Suddenly, the magic tower was lit up.
Even the dim illumination circles began to work their magic.

Abel felt like the magic tower had become a part of him.
He could clearly sense every magic circle within it, even the small numbers that Johnson damaged.

His senses were amplified a few times all of a sudden.
The entire underground space, as well as the garden above, emerged in front of his eyes.
He then zoomed out to the palace and then the entire Denan City.

“It’s a giant protection circle!” Abel mumbled.

What Abel was seeing was the giant protection circle of Denan City.
It was not ignited when Abel entered Denan City, and most royals never heard about it.

Abel sighed as he looked through the circle.
Although it was only a normal giant protection circle with a good amount of defense and attack, it could fight off almost any elite wizard with a rank 18 wizard surveilling in an 18 stories magic tower underground.

Just imagine, if a wizard invaded Denan City, this giant protection circle could quickly lockdown that wizard and limit his ability to move in a flash.

Afterward, the old man could utilize his magic tower to amplify his spell and land upon the wizard through the giant protection circle.

“It’s the perfect protection system!” Abel sighed.

Abel knew the kingdom’s final card was underground, but he was not expecting it to be so powerful.
This could not only attack anyone in the city, but it could also spy on anyone in the city without a protection circle.

A person who took over this place could perfectly see anything that was happening in Denan City.
Maybe this was the actual reason the old man had set up this giant protection circle.

“Tower spirit, how do I take care of those herbs outside?” Abel looked outside and felt a little confused.

The old man took care of those herbs all by himself, but if Abel were to do the same, he wouldn’t have any time left for training.
He was not planning to keep this place free from all wizard followers anyway.

“Master, will you allow me to use puppets?” The tower spirit asked.

“Yes, I’ll give you the permission to use puppets!” Abel replied.

After Abel said his words, a cabinet in the operation was triggered, and its doors slowly swung open.
2 human shape puppets walked out from within.

These puppets were extremely simple compared to Abel’s little war puppets.
They only had some simple mechanics, and the tower spirit fully controlled them.
They probably couldn’t even stand if they went beyond the magic tower.

Maybe you could think of those puppets as the body of the tower spirit.

In a flash of white light, those 2 puppets disappeared and reappeared outside.
Soon, they began to work without holding back.

Those herbs had been growing for a long time without anyone taking care of them.
Although it wouldn’t affect their power, a clean up was long overdue.

Abel knew these herbs were the main income of the old man.
A valuable herb could exchange potions even money couldn’t buy in the Wizard union.

However, all of those herbs were now Abel’s resources.
No one’s alchemy was better than him in the Holy Continent anyway.

This tower spirit had been set to grow herbs automatically, making it a level more valuable again.

However, a perfectionist like Abel just couldn’t accept those ugly puppets, so he took out 4 little war puppets from the Varaya’s ring and gave them to the tower spirit.

Simultaneously, he installed 10 lightning spirals on the 18th floor of the magic tower, so this tower could have the attack of an elite wizard even when no elite wizard was around.

All he needed to do was to send a few trusted wizards here, and the entire Denan city would be under the attack range of those lightning spirals.

Afterward, Abel left and went back to where Steward Burbridge was waiting.

“Steward Burbridge, pass down the order that no one can talk about and enter this place.
It is the secret of the kingdom!” Abel lowered his voice.

“Yes, your majesty!” Steward Burbridge bowed without question,

After Abel placed 5 more lightning spirals at the entrance, he placed Steward Burbridge’s hand on his shoulder and flashed out of the underground structure.

Steward Burbridge had seen the power of those spirals from the military parade.
They had stunned the Holy Continent, so he understood what Abel meant by not letting anyone enter.

Abel didn’t know if there was anyone in the Kingdom who knew about this entrance.
Greed might bring the worse out of people, but with those lightning spirals, no one would come out alive.
