Chapter 108: A Foolish Incident

“Hahaha.” Novice Wizard Sam couldn’t help laughing loudly. Then, he stopped and said, “The dwarfs’ Blacksmith Master use ancient runes to make magic weapons. That’s some extremely incredible technology.”

Novice Wizard Sam took a sip of fruit juice in his cup and proceeded to say, “Wizards also grasped some of those runes, which are the ones used on the rune sign. Although the runes in magic weapons can be used a lot of times, it’s only effective when the weapon strikes a person. Do you expect a wizard can strike someone with a weapon?”

Up to this point, Novice Wizard Sam let out a small laugh and continued his speech, “Rune signs can attack or defend in however way you like. They’re a lot more convenient than magic weapons and more suitable for us weak wizards. On top of that, which one do you think can generate more profits, a one time use rune sign, or a magic weapon that could be used countless times.

By that point, Abel understood. Rune signs were more suitable for Wizards to use and could help them make the most amount of money. On the other hand, magic weapons were only ideal for occupations that often indulged in close battles, and due to their longevity, wizards could not continue to make money off it. That’s why they did not spend too much time researching it.

“Of course, if you have deep knowledge in runes, you can create a magic weapon used by a wizard, known as the magic cane. Magic cane was the dream of every wizard.” Novice Wizard Sam began to laugh again. “But it was not easy. There aren’t many wizards who own magic canes. Even my teacher does not have one.”

“You can go back this afternoon, take care of everything you need to. Remember, resources are essential, especially to novice wizards,” Novice Wizard Sam said gently. He was reminded of his fellow disciples. They were all working like crazy for resources. But of course, Novice Wizard Sam would not mention this to Abel.

“Mr. Sam, thank you very much for your teaching!” Abel could sense how much Novice Wizard Sam cherished him. He had helped him a lot, especially with all the faint sense of jealousy coming from all the other wizard followers in the tower. Abel understood how rare this was.

Abel felt like he was cheating the system. He had only arrived at the magic tower a few days ago, and he had already requested a three day holiday. However, Abel had a lot of things to take care of when he would leave the magic tower. Other than going to take care of the comprehension issue with the royals, the most important thing was that he needed to ignite the scroll of town portal.

The long grey robe surrounded Abel’s body as he walked on the road downhill. As he was walking, he thought of the “fireball” pattern. His fingers continued to move in his robe. Although he didn’t use any magical power, he sensed that he could make a mistake very easily and needed to start again.

Abel was thinking about the pattern, and before he knew it, he had already reached the bottom of the hill. He was out of the surrounding area of the magic tower. Suddenly, a team of public security guards wearing all black surrounded him.

“Mr, you need to go to the noble arbitral tribunal to answer a few questions now!” The leader of the public security public guards stared at this student of wizardry in long grey robes with a pair of dark eyes. At first the public security guard did not want to accept this mission. He knew his target was a student of wizardry, and anything to do with wizards could bring about troubles.

However, this student of wizard in front of them had offended their high-status young master Newton Benson, who was also a student of wizardry. The Benson family was one of the four most powerful families in Bakong City, and young master Newton Benson was one of the Benson family’s first wife’s children, who had studied at the magic tower for a very long time.

As a public security guard cultivated by the Benson family, he did not have the guts to reject the command of one of the Benson family’s first wife’s children. On top of that, the person their young master wanted to seek revenge was only an ordinary student of wizardry, a nobody, so the task should be easy. They were also using the name of Noble arbitral tribunal to arrest this student of wizardry. Therefore, no one could save him, unless if an official wizard appeared.

“Arrest me?” A ruminate smile began to come through the hood of his robe. He would never have guessed in a hundred years that someone would call the public security guards to arrest him.

“Please come with us!” The leader of the public security guards did not have the guts to use physical force on a student of wizardry. He only raised his voice.

The leader of the public security guard had already expected that he might not be able to arrest this student of wizardry. As long as the student of wizardry refused, there was no way they could have forcefully kept him.

“Ok, if that’s what you want!” Abel thought, he might as well find out who was the man behind this drama.

“Take him away!” The leader of the public security guard waved to his men, and a few public security went up and took Abel on to a horse carriage.

The leader of the public security guard let out a breath of relief. This student of wizardry really was a nobody. If not, this student of wizardry would have most likely used his status to threaten him already. He only needed to raised his voice a little until the kid was scared and followed him on to the carriage.

Abel stayed inside the carriage while looking out the window. After going through a few main roads, he arrived at a large pure white building.

“We’ve arrived. Please step out.”

Upon hearing these words, Abel stepped out of the carriage with his head pointing down. When he lifted his head, the first thing he saw was a statue of the goddess of justice and order, which one hand holding a balance scale, sword on another, while stepping on a venomous snake.

The infamous noble arbitral tribunal must be the building behind this statue. With the escort of the public security guards, Abel had entered this building.

In the center of the building’s hall, there was a young man around the age of 20 wearing a suit waiting. Along his side were two judges of the noble arbitral tribunal wearing a uniform with a print of the goddess of justice on top of it. When Abel stepped into the hall, the young men looked at Abel with a sense of hatred out of jealousy.

“My two superiors, young master Newton, the men you want had been brought here!” Said the public security guards, saluting to the two judges and the young man in a suit.

“My two superiors, it was he who stolen my gold coins and disrespected my family’s coat of arms. I request to send him to the remote Murray City.” Said the young man loudly.

This was a setup, and the reason for it was excruciatingly simple. Newton did not want to take the life of this student of wizardry. He only wanted to escort him away, so he could still return to the magic tower and continue to be a follower of Novice Wizard Sam.

A noble accused an average person, and the Benson family had bribed the two judges. Newton was sure this student of wizardry could not escape these types of high success rate accuses.

However, the process must be done quickly–quickly escort this student of wizardry to Murray City before he had the chance to tell Novice Wizard Sam, and then find someone to kill him. Therefore, this would have nothing to do with Newton.

“You accuse on behalf of the Benson family?” A voice came from Abel’s robe before the two judges could even speak.

“You need to address me as your highness. I accuse you on behalf of the Benson Family!” Newton was irritated. His voice sounded a-bit sharp.

“The two respected judges are representing the goddess of justice and order. Can you testify he was accusing me on behalf of the Benson family?” Abel asked the two judges. His voice sounded calm as always.

By this point, the two judges already realized something was odd. This student of wizardry was not an average person. Through his way of speech, they could tell that he was a noble that gone through the noble’s etiquette training. On top of that, this student of wizardry seemed way too calm in the noble arbitral tribunal. There was not a single bit of terror within him.

One of the judges turned to Newton and asked, “Young master Newton, can you accuse on behalf of the Benson family?”

Newton did not know what the judge mean by that. He had only been kicked out of the magic tower, and he did not have the guts to tell his family. He had all of these connections by just directly saying the name of his family. All he wanted was to escort this student of wizardry quickly. If not, his status within the family with be dramatically lowered. He might not even be able to get his resources for training.

“Yes, I am very certain I can accuse on behalf of the Benson family!” Said Newton decisively.

The two judges exchanged gazes with a helpless expressions. The judge who had just spoken then turned to Abel and said, “Now, I will inform you officially. The Benson family had accused you of stealing young master Newton’s gold coins and disrespected their family’s coat of arms. Do you have any comments??
