Abe the Wizard - Chapter 138

Chapter 138

“Thank you, Camille . I will be careful,” Abel said while nodding his head .

“We arrived . Both Carlos and I bought our carving knife here . ” Said Camille as she led Abel to the front of a shop .

The storefront of that shop was filled with all kinds of knives, swords, and shields . Under the gaze of Abel, all those knives, swords, and shields did not look too bad . They were all made from a hundred skill iron base . Behind the counter, there was a rank, secured with two full body armor .

“Isn’t this a place for Wizards to exchange their stuff? Why are there so many weapons? Abel asked quietly .

“Junior brother . Do wizards have any ability to protect themselves? Of course, they need to buy some warrior or knights equipment to protect themselves . All the equipment in our store is the best of the best . If you give a tip to the thing that protects you, they will definitely remain loyal to you . ” Said a raspy voice coming from somewhere . It was the owner of the shop, a burly man with a face full of beard, who was around 2 . 2 meters tall . He came up to Abel after he overheard his question .

“Dorian, this is my junior brother Abel, he wants to buy a carving knife,” Camille said hello to Dorian, the burly man with a face full of beard .

After Dorian had heard Camille’s introduction, he looked at Abel in disbelief . He asked, “Abel? May I ask, what is your name?”

“Abel Harry,” Abel bowed and replied .

“My respected Master, Elite Black Smith Dorian salute to you!” Said Dorian as he bowed deeply .

“Dorian, you are too polite!” Said Abel after returning a greeting .

“It is my pride to have you visiting my shop!” Said Dorian in pure excitement .

“Wait, Dorian . Did you just call Abel a Master?” Camille asked in a puzzled tone .

“Camille, did you not know that Master Abel is a Black Smith Master? He was the 36th Black Smith Master in the Holy Continent, as well as the youngest Black Smith Master . According to statistics, he is the closest Blacksmith Master to becoming a Grandmaster Black Smith!” Said Dorian, his voice filled with his respect for Abel .

“Abel?” Camille was dumbstruck . She seemed to have lost her ability to speak all of a sudden . All she could do was stare at Abel . She had only regained her concentration after a while and asked Abel, “Abel, why didn’t you ever mention you are a Black Smith Master?”

“That’s because no one had asked me,” Abel innocently stared at Camille .

“Shouldn’t you be the one who tells us first?” Said Camille staring back at Abel in a somewhat helpless way . It was such an important thing, but Abel had always pretended like it was nothing and never told her about it .

“I came to the magic tower to become a wizard . What does my other status have to do with it? The teacher had said that the status and wealth of an ordinary person have nothing to do with being a wizard . As long as you are a member of the wizards, you will be granted the identity of a wizard . ”

“Do you really not know what being a Black Smith Master signifies? Camille realized maybe Abel didn’t know too much about being a Black Smith Master .

She proceeded to say, “Other than making powerful weapons . Black Smith Masters can also work with wizards to make powerful magic weapons . For example, a wand that increases ice attacks, without the help of a Black Smith Master, it is impossible to make one . ”

Seeing the dumb look on Abel’s face, Camille waved her hand and said: “Whatever, you had just become a novice wizard . The teacher will teach you this stuff in the future . ”

Abel did not know how to make a wand at all . He had only socialized with knights in the past, and almost everything he made was equipment for knights . Master Bentham had said in the past that Abel could become a student of the dwarfs, and further develop his forging ability . But at the time, Abel only wanted to become a wizard and did not pay too much attention to a Black Smith Master’s study .

Now, his perspective had changed . It seemed like the connection between Black Smith Masters and wizards were actually a lot closer than he thought . They seemed to have a special yet tightly linked relationship . If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely sit down and have a good talk with teacher Wizard Morton .

“Master Abel, did you say you want a carving knife?” During all this time, Dorian’s sight did not leave Abel at all . When Abel noticed Dorian, it looked like he was looking into the eyes of a fan seeing a superstar .

“Yes, your excellency Dorian . I need a carving knife for my study of rune sign-making,” Abel said with a laugh .

“Please wait,” Dorian said and bowed . It was somewhat comedic to see a 2 . 2meters gigantic bowing to the 1 . 85 meters Abel .

Dorian turned around and searched in a box behind the counter . After a while, he carefully took out a dark gold color carving knife and handed it to Abel with two hands . Dorian said, “I had accidentally found a natural ore around here . However, the ore was too small to make any weapons out of it, so I made this carving knife . Upon its completion, I realized this carving knife was a lot sharper than anything else on the market . Please give it a critique . ”

Abel received Dorian’s carving knife with two hands and closely examined it . This carving knife looked like it was made with some kind of alloy . Abel tapped it two times with his hand . It seemed like there was some extremely balanced heavy metal inside it . If this kind of natural compound gold was sharped to such extent, it would be even rarer than other valuable ores . This alloy was truly unique .

“The material of this carving knife was compounded with many types of metal . You said it’s a natural ore, so it was compounded naturally . Materials like these were so rare . You can almost call it a treasure from the sky,” said Abel in a careful tone .

“Master Abel, your sight is too good . I have shown this carving knife to many Black Smiths and wizards, but never a Black Smith Master . The few wizards I have shown this carving knife to agree with what you have said . It’s just that they were not too interested in these compound metals . Although these types of metal were sharper than gold, they could not increase the amount of magical ability being injected . Therefore in the eyes of those wizards, this carving knife is not too different from the ones made with normal metals,” said Dorian looking at Abel with respect .

Abel smiled in a little embarrassment . The alloy could be seen everywhere in his previous world . Even primary school kids could understand the concept of alloy . However, this carving knife in the hand of Abel was good for both study and practical use . He was not like the other wizards who only cared about magical ability . If Abel could separate the compounds within the alloy, he might be able to make some extremely powerful weapons .

According to the statistics in the Horadric cube, the attacking power of this world’s weapons was generally lower, to the point where it’s basically impossible to hurt anyone with a ‘absorb material impact’ rune sign . Abel calculated, although these weapons might have no problem battling a low-rank monster in Rogue encampment, it would most likely have a problem battling high-rank monsters . Since Abel had discovered a type of alloy that could increase a weapon’s attacking power, it provided him with a direction for experimenting in the future . That’s good news .

“How much for this carving knife?” Abel asked as he stared at the carving knife in his hand in excitement .

“Master Abel, if you like it, I can give it to you as a gift . That ore didn’t cost me that much, and my forging skills are nothing compared to yours anyway, so don’t ever talk gold coins with me . ” Said Dorian waving both of his hands .

“That’s?” Abel was a little hesitant . He really wanted this carving knife, but his heart won’t let him take advantage of Dorian and walk away with this carving knife for free .

“Abel, just accept it . I knew Dorian for many years . If he said, he wants to give you something as a gift . With his personality, he would rather throw it away than take it back,” Camille couldn’t help but interrupt seeing Abel’s hesitation .

“Ok, thank you, your excellency, I’ll accept this gift . If you have any questions in regards to forgery, feel free to ask me . Of course, I had not been studying forgery for too long, so I might not be able to answer some of your questions, but I’ll try my best,” said Abel in a somewhat serious tone .

“Thank you, Master Abel . ” Hearing Abel’s promise, Dorian was filled with joy . Although Dorian was already an elite Black Smith, he did not have any inheritance . At first, he felt like he had lost his goal . However, after hearing this promise and guidance by a Black Smith Master, he had regained a sense of direction again . That was great news for Dorian .

On the way back, Camille asked Abel countless questions that made his brain hurts .

“Abel, how much does it cost if I want to buy a weapon from a Black Smith Master?”
