He did not expect to run into an Intermediate Wizard who wanted these poisons as soon as he arrived.
Abel did not know much about poison. Although poison making was a branch of alchemy, Abel had a Horadric Cube. It could combine any normal poison into the scariest poison, and any normal antidote into the most effective antidote. There was no need for Abel to do much research on it.
Therefore, he didn’t really care about these poisons. Besides that, it would be a good idea to give these poisons out to human wizards, so they could have a better understanding of them.
Every human wizard would pass down their research result to their disciples. It was all because out of this development over generations that human wizards had gotten their status in the Holy Continent.
Wizard Cyrillic gave this portal finger joint a quick scan with his power of the will and his face immediately changed. This was a 5 cubic meter portal joint. He was sure, the original owner of this thing was definitely an intermediate priest.
Not just a normal intermediate priest, but an extremely powerful one. Just like human wizards, only powerful wizards could have a portal bag more than 1 cubic meter.
Large portal objects were extremely valuable, and the only way to get them was through competition in strength.
Abel was still too new to the wizarding world, and most of the time, he learned stuff on his own. He had never heard of any wizard competition before.
The human wizard union would organize a large scale competition every few years, and some of the rewards included a portal bag with more than 1 cubic meters.
“Wizard k3516, you do have the blood corroding poison I want!” Wizard Cyrillic took out a red bottle of poison and said in excitement.
“Amazing!” Abel was also very happy that he had completed a trade.
Wizard Cyrillic then gave the portal finger joint back to Abel and asked, “What do you want in exchange?”
By this point, he saw Abel as a fellow member. A person would at least need to kill a single intermediate priest to get a portal finger joint like this. Since Abel was only a beginner wizard, he definitely needed to be respected.
“Little skulls and bone made portal objects!” Those were the only things Abel wanted and he was so used to saying it by now. But then he thought about that strange identity card and added “or maybe a map of the orc empire!”
“I can ask my wizard friends for some little skulls and bone made portal objects, as for the map of the orc empire…” Wizard Cyrillic paused for a bit and suddenly looked towards Head Commander Donald.
Head Commander Donald waved his hand and began to speak “Let me explain, I’m the only one in here who has a map of the orc empire. Those things are extremely rare. I have only gotten one from a head wolf rider captain of ten thousand during a battle a few years ago. If you can give out enough, I can trade with you!”
Actually, the 10 men in the room knew each other quite well. They all knew what good stuff the others had, and only head commander Donald had the map Abel was looking for.
Fair trade was the best way to maintain a friendship. It was how nobles had gone about doing things, and it was also most widely approved by the different military occupations in the Holy Continent.
He turned to Wizard Cyrillic, “You can take the blood corroding poison first. I live in no.9 area A of the wizard camp. When you gather enough little skulls and bone made portal objects, you can send it my way!” Abel then said to Wizard Cyrillic. Just like that, their trade was settled.
Abel was not worried about wizard Cyrillic. Although it was the first time they met, Abel could tell this was a united little group. No one in this group would break their trust.
“Thank you, wizard k3516!” Wizard Cyrillic said with a smile. He was very happy that Abel trusted him.
Abel then took out a knight sword with a cracked skull gem installed and threw it towards Head Commander Donald “head commander Donald, take a look to see if this sword is good enough for your map of the orc empire!’
Head Commander Donald held the knight sword in his hand and gave it a little wave. He then closely looked at it and said with a frown, “this knight sword is pretty good. The material is very nice. Too bad it is not a magic sword, so it won’t do much for me. I can only bring it to a blacksmith as a half complete sword and do some alterations to it. It’s not enough for the map!”
Head Commander Edi then spoke up from a side with a laugh “Donald, how about this. Take a look at my knight sword and these 3 magic knight spears. I’ll give all of them to you for the map, and you leave that knight sword to me!”
“Hold on, that’s not right!” Head Commander Donald put on a suspicious face and held up the knight sword again for a closer look.
The only thing about this knight sword was that it used a totally different forging process from the ones in the Holy Continent. It looked quite ordinary from the outside, but soon he sensed a bit of an energy wave coming out of it.
“K3516, can you tell me what’s different about this knight sword?” Of course, Head Commander Donald would not trade with Head Commander Edi. They were friends for many years, so he knew Head Commander Edi was just joking to suggest that there was something special about this sword.
“This is a double absorption knight sword!” Abel explained.
“Absorb what?” Head Commander Donald was so confused, sweat almost dripped down.
“When you strike an enemy with this sword. It will automatically absorb a part of your enemy’s life and mana, and turn it into your own!” Abel continued.
Head Commander Donald’s eyes grew wide open. A magic sword could give him Magic ability so he wouldn’t have to use his own attributed combat qi.
However, In some ways, a head commander like himself had more than enough combat qi to sustain him through a battle, which could achieve the same effect as having a magic sword.
He had not ever even heard of the ability to absorb your enemy’s life and mana as your own before. This could increase his fighting power. Just imagine a ‘charge’, it would take up way too much mana from a head commander which they couldn’t replenish.
A Charge was a head commander’s most powerful attack. It could increase the force of a strike over 6 times. If there was a gear that could replenish mana, it could increase his strength.
“Wizard K3516, it seems like you missed one thing. This knight sword is the work of Grandmaster Abel!” Head Commander Edi added with a laugh.
“Grandmaster Abel’s work?” Head Commander Donald quickly picked up the sword and again and found a marking on the handle. He then laughed loudly and said, “You could have just told me that this was Grandmaster Abel’s, and I would have traded it with you even if it was just a normal knight sword!”
A knight sword made by a grandmaster blacksmith. Just the name alone would boost its value for a few times, even if it was a normal sword.
“Here’s the map of the orc empire. It is too bad this can’t be copied; if not it will not be as near as valuable” said Head Commander Donald as he handed Abel an orc tooth.
Abel held the tooth in his hand and curiosity emerged. He was just not expecting a map to look Like this.
At the time, Head Commander Donald was stroking his new knight sword with his fingers. He couldn’t wait to test it out. But as he turned his head, he saw the confused look on Abel’s face, so he said with a laugh “all you need to do is to hold this tooth in front of your head and you can see the map!”
Abel held this tooth in front of his head and a giant map appeared in his mind almost immediately. As he kept looking his energy began to get drained by the orc tooth.
This was the evil of things made by orc priests. Even a map required the user to sacrifice his energy.
