Chapter 230 Jungle Python

Once he was back inside the tent, Abel stayed with Lorraine the whole night till she slept. Once he was left alone, he activated the seclusion circle to separate himself from Loraine. Loraine was inside, while he and Black Wind were outside.

Now, Abel was worried. He wasn’t sure how many people knew about White Cloud’s ability to camouflage itself. If there were a lot of people who did, he wouldn’t be able to hide so safely.

At midnight, there was a violent explosion outside the camp. Some more noises followed after, but they didn’t last for very long. Soon, it became quiet again.

In the morning, when Lorraine walked out of the tent, she realized that one of the tents was missing. There was a black charcoal track where it used to be.

“What happened yesterday, Abel?” she asked Abel.

Abel explained vaguely, “The dwarves have some matters. They have to sort out themselves. It’s not really in our place to meddle in.”

As unclear as Abel’s response was, Loraine could understand the gist of it. She’s quickly understood why she slept so soundly yesterday. That being said, she obviously had her doubts that Abel did something behind her back.

“Thank you for your help, Master Abel!” the eldest of the Borton brothers came and bowed to him.

“So they did manage to settle things down,” Abel said to Loraine, then returned the bow to the Borton six brothers.

“Yes, Sir!” Borton replied, “My two brothers did get some minor injuries, but overall, nobody was hurt badly.”

In the meantime, Bernie and Wizard Aitken went out of the tent. After seeing Abel, they bowed and showed exceptional respect for him. Bernie said, ” Thank you so much for your message. Wizard Kipling was arrested last night!”

Abel took a step back, “Wizard Kipling was arrested?”

“Wizard Kipling was diligent and strong, but we assaulted him when he was doing meditation,” said Bernie. “We fought at the same time and broke his defense spell.”

Meditation was the only way for wizards to improve their magic power, and it was a daily routine for most of them. Unfortunately, this improving period made Wizard Kipling be arrested.

“Bernie, what about the inquiry?” Abel asked.

“Abel, we’ve found a potion having the order of queen bee in Kipling’s bag that can attract Savage Bees but protect the owner, he almost killed us. He provided messages to Duergar. They just take advantage together. He just told them you were a human being and didn’t have the time to explain more before getting arrested.”

That’s a relief! Abel thought. It was better that fewer people knew his secret. He meant to come over that wizard who made him leave home.

Abel didn’t ask what would happen to Wizard Kipling. He had no business, and they would deal with it properly. Every race had the same treatment to the traitor, surprisingly but reasonably.

Wizard Kipling had weakened Dwarves, but this was such relief for everyone as they caught the traitor, especially for Abel, it was sensible that he did not use any spell.

He wasn’t in the Holy Continent, and he was just famous for being a blacksmith. Because of this, the enemy underestimated him.

Two days later, Abel replaced the post of Wizard Kipling. He got six new crystal cores.

“Watch out!” Abel called out, then picked up his shield to defend the head attack of a big python.

“It’s the forest python, catch it!” said Wizard Aitken, who did not intend to help.

They were very lucky to meet a non-official soul beast in this forest. Its skin was durable and had a high defense of magic: the best material for robes.

Abel knew its value, but he wasn’t interested. Armors would have much higher defense abilities if he found enough materials for forging, but for most of the wizards, they couldn’t bear the weight of this.

The forest python had 15 meters long and a scary strength. The Borton six brothers surrounded it as Abel got an attack. They kept on provoking it for distracting its attention, then Borton’s leader gave it a long wound by his ice magic sword.

This wound was serious for a human, but as a python with 15 meters long, it did little impact and just a bit hurt.

Feeling the pain, it started using its head and tail to attack them madly. The six brothers defenced it in turns: one stepped back, the other one made up.

They had the magic shield, the python just gave them some trouble, but not hurt them. The Borton leader stabbed it again and enlarged the wound.

Abel had no chance to help, and they worked perfectly.

Borton six brothers did it again and again. The ground had turned red by its blood. Abel figured out that they wanted to get a large skin. That was why just the leader attacked.

The battle lasted almost one hour and ended to victory. The Borton leader divided the skin from the python carefully and cut it into two to share with excited Wizard Aitken and Abel.

“Abel, just take it, it’s the best material for robes. They have the rule of wizards first.” Wizard Aitken said as Abel intended to refuse.

Hearing this, Abel lived with it. Although he just a level-3 wizard, he had taken the post of the wizard in this team.
