Chapter 184 Trace
Camille had gone to prepare herself . Carlos was just about to do so as well, but suddenly, he was dragged by Abel, “Carlos, do you have the map for that attacked gem mines? I have a mount wolf . It's very speedy, so I want to rush there to have a look at the condition first,” Said Abel .
“Wow, little brother, you must be a rich guy . I heard a mount wolf is the number i land mount . When are you going to let me ride it, huh? Said Carlos . The moment he heard that Abel had a mount wolf, his eyes immediately lit up with admiration .
“Let's talk about the mount wolf later . Just give me the map first,” Said Abel slightly irritated by Carlos's careless attitude . There was no way Black Wind could let other people ride it . Even if Abel had commanded, it wouldn't let anyone get close to his back for even a second . That was the nature of a mount wolf; they were an extremely loyal bunch and would only identify one person as their owner . If Carlos was not afraid of getting thrown to the ground, then he could go for it .
“Here's your map . Since you have such a fast mount wolf, you will definitely get separated from us . Just remember, never force any attacks in a thousand years . The rune signs you have are enough to kill off those rank 3 and below wizards, but those rank 3 and above are a whole other league . You must be careful,” Carlos said with a worried tone, as he took out a map from his pocket .
“Understood . Carlos . ” Said Abel as he snatched the map and threw it into his portal bag . He then immediately turned and ran downstairs .
“Ah, a portal bag . If I can also get one, that would be amazing . ” Carlos mumbled with admiration seeing Abel go off without needing any preparation at all .
After half a day, Abel arrived at the magic gem mines marked on the map with Black Wind . Since there would be a lot of low ranking wizards joining this battle, Abel did not summon White Cloud . He only arrived riding on the back of Black Wind .
One of the magic gem mines was located 500 miles west from Bakong City, and another was located 600 miles around the east-west direction from Bakong City . The map also marked all the places with resources that had not been attacked yet . They were all very close to Bakong City, which he could see why the magic towers were built around here .
Firstly, Bakong City was the biggest city in the Duchy of Carmel, so it could bring about large amounts of top quality day to day stuff for the wizards . Secondly, since all of those important resources were concentrated near Bakong City, wizards also needed to be concentrated just outside of Bakong City .
Abel rode Black Wind straight up towards a road on the mountain, which was reinforced by humans . He did not see anyone along the way . It was only after he took a turn on the mountain road, he saw a decent-sized mine . Around 10 miners were moving the scattered rocks away from the tunnel . When they saw Abel, he stood up in shock .
An old miner stepped up, looking at the intimidating Black Wind and said: “Mr . , what do you want?” The old miner sounded so brave . It was almost like he knew how to fight .
“I am a wizard from the Duchy of Carmel . I was sent here to take a look at the damaged condition of the mine,” Said Abel as he took out his identity card and held it in front of the old miner's face .
“Mr . , 2 out of the dead bodies of the 4 wizard was there . The old miner let out a breath of relief, but he was still looking a bit nervous as he pointed towards a shed . He then proceeded to point towards a hole and said,” there are still 2 wizard's dead bodies being trapped . We are already trying to get them out as soon as possible . ”
“No rush, were you there when the attack happened?” Abel gazed at the old miner, then towards the 10 or so other miners standing on the spot .
“The only survivors were another 2 injured miners and me . They had already been sent down the mountain for treatment,” Said the old miner in sorrow .
“They killed ordinary people as well?” Said Abel in disbelief .
“Yes, after those wizards arrived, the first thing they did was blown off the defense set up by the Mr wizards . Afterward, they just kill anyone they saw . I stood on a rock, but I was so scared that I slipped and hit my head . When I woke up, I realized everyone was dead other than us 3 . Wizard Morton arrived not long afterward and organized people to help us repair the mine,” As the old miner was speaking, fear emerged from his eyes . It seemed like he was reminded of the demon-like wizards of the other day .
Up to this point, Abel had understood that only Wizard Morton could have speed like this in the Duchy of Carmel . So he could rush here in almost no time . But since those wizards had killed miners as well, it seemed like they were trying to slow down the magic gem production in the Duchy of Carmel . Therefore, they decided to attack the core resource of Wizards in the Duchy of Carmel .
“You can continue your work . I'll take a look around . ” Said Abel saving his hand towards the old miner .
At the entrance of the mine, there were some marks of a damaged defense circle . Although Abel didn't know too much about defense circles, he could tell this was a simple defense circle . The normal red lamp, a magic gem that the defense circle used was scattered into countless small pieces on the ground . The surface of the magic circle was intentionally damaged as well .
There were some pieces of used up rune signs on the ground . It seemed like those Wizards came here to attack was very well prepared . A simple defense circle was mostly used for defending against physical attacks . If it was hit with a magic attack that exceeded its limit, the defense circle would be destroyed immediately . Those wizards prepared many rune signs to directly destroy this defense circle .
Abel kept looking as he walked . He marks on the ground reflects how the battle was fought at the time . It was an unfair battle . There were no signs of fighting back-only the blood of the defenders .
Abel arrived at the place where the dead bodies were placed . The dead bodies of the 2 low ranking wizards were placed separately on one side, while the dead bodies of the 10 or so miners were lying on the other side . The power of the fire attack was too great . Most of the dead bodies were so burnt, and their faces were basically unrecognizable . After a close examination, Abel stood up with disappointment . The attacking wizards basically left no evidence behind .
“Woof woof!” Black Wind began to call next to a big rock . It must have discovered something .
Abel quickly walked towards Black Wind and took a look at where it's paw was pointing . There was a small crack between 2 rocks . There was a faint light coming out of the crack . From this, Abel could see it was a corner from a grey shirt at the bottom of the crack . It seemed like that corner of the shirt was ripped off by some sharp rocks and landed at the bottom of the crack .
That crack was around a meter deep, but extremely small, so it was basically impossible for a human to reach their hand in . This could very well be the reason why that corner from a grey shirt was not taken out by anyone .
But that's not a problem for Abel . He took out the magic cane with the 'spirit transfer' ability from his portal bag, unleashed the 'spirit transfer' spell, and in a flash of white that the corner from a grey shirt appeared in his hand .
“Come here Black Wind, give this a smell . See if you can find this person!” Said Abel as held up the shirt corner towards Black Wind's nose . As far as he knew, even dogs, the descendants of wolves, have a strong sense of smell, so a spirit beast mount wolf should have no problem .
Abel was right . After Black Windr 2 gentle sniffs, it told Abel through the soul chain that it could find out who this piece belonged to .
In a rush of excitement, Abel hopped on the back of Black Wind and sped down the mountain .
After Black Wind went down the hill, he sniffed a few more times in the air . It no longer walked on the main road . Instead, he entered into a small road when it came across a dissect road . At last, he stopped in front of a house .
It was an ordinary house made of mud and stone . The front door was opened wide . The moment when Abel jumped down from Black Wind and got close to the house, the stink of blood rushed towards him .
Abel put the 'frozen armor' on his body, and carefully entered the house . The moment he entered, he saw the dead body of a farmer and his family, there was even the dead body of a 2-year-old kid . The 3 dead bodies were just lying still next to the corner of the wall . It was clear that the 3 of them were dragged here, and struck to death with a sword . It seemed like those wizards didn't even want to waste their mana on ordinary people .
Abel stared at the dead family of 3 on the ground, especially that 2-year-old kid . He felt a fiery rage burning within him . Of course, Abel had killed a lot of people in the past as well, but he had never harmed an innocent . What those wizards had done was beyond Abel's comprehension; they wouldn't even spare the life of a 2-year-old child .
Abel walked through the rooms and arrived at the backyard . There were footprints of horses, which showed the reason why the family was killed . Those low ranking wizards needed a place to put their horses, and this house just so happened to be close to the mine . So, that's why the family was killed .
