Chapter 492 Distributing the Gifts

Camille covered her mouth in fascination when she saw the giant magic circle behind Harry Castle, “This... this is beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!”“So that’s where your magic tower is,” Wizard Morton asked Abel.

“Yes, right over there,” Abel nodded.

Wizard Morton said with a frown, “It’s a bit close to the castle. Are you sure it’s safe for non-wizards?”

“It’s fine, Mentor,” Abel said with certainty, “I’ve set up a mana-seclusion circle. The people in the castle won’t feel an ounce of mana affecting their health.”

“Mana-seclusion circle?” Wizard Morton squinted with his eyes, “That’s the elve’s treasure. How did you... what did you do?”

Abel said with a smile, “You know. I do have a lot of friends, Mentor.”

“Very well,” Wizard Morton nodded in approval, “Let’s go have a look inside, then.”

Abel made a gesture with his hand to the rest of the group, “Please, everyone, follow us inside.”

Instead of using the teleportation circle, Abel told the group to follow him on foot. Obviously, this was because he didn’t want too many people to know about the teleportation circle.

When they’ve walked down the path, everyone began to feel an invisible wall in their way. Strangely enough, they could still pass through it, despite feeling its existence.

“So this is the mana-seclusion circle,” Wizard Morton said as he felt the barrier with his hands.

“Yes,” Abel replied, then walked straight through the invisible barrier.

The other wizards did so as well, and they began to feel very thick mana floating through the air. After the mana gathering circle had been activated for an entire night, this place had become the perfect training ground for wizards to absorb a sufficient amount of mana.

“Has the mana density here always been so high?” Wizard Morton asked. He was very surprised by how ideal this place was.

Abel replied, “It’s not very strong before. To create the right concentration of mana here, I’ve set up a large-sized mana gathering circle.”

Wizard Yveline, Wizard Murphy, and Wizard Morton all looked at each other for a bit. They’ve always known how rich Abel was, but they’ve never thought that he would be this rich.

Meanwhile, Camille and Carlos were fully enjoying the thick mana that was in the air. When they sniffed the air as hard as they could, they couldn’t help but think of something. If they weren’t even in the magic tower yet, just how ridiculously thick would the mana be indoor?”

Sam was the most surprised. Wizard Yveline did ask him to live here with him, and it wasn’t like he was going to refuse, but to be honest, he never expected to have the chance to be at a place this well-built.

“Where are these elves and dwarves from?” Wizard Morton said, pointing over the distance.

Abel said with a smile, “I’ve asked them to come here. Do you see the magic circles and buildings? They’re the ones who did all of them!”

When they walked inside the hexagonal circle, Wizard Morton was shocked.

“Wait, why are there six towers here?” Wizard Morton widened his eyes. There were six towers in his sight. While they were all different in terms of their height, their orientations were perfect for the hexagonal circle’s geometry.

“Wizard Yveline, that seven-floor tower belongs to you,” Abel pointed towards the seven-floor magic tower.

As grateful as Wizard Yveline was, it was only natural for Abel to give his “offering” to a state-sponsored wizard such as himself. As the dutiful guardian of the Duchy of Carmel for the past few decades, Wizard Yveline did, in every possible way, have the right to receive this tower from Abel.

“What about the rest, Abel?” Wizard Morton asked. Right now, he still couldn’t believe what he was looking at. He couldn’t believe that Abel built several magic towers without him knowing about it. Like, it’d make sense if he was building houses, but magic towers? Upon this point, he never thought that it was something that anyone could build on their own.

“This is yours, Mentor!” Abel said as he pointed towards the 12-floor magic tower.

“Good grace!” Wizard Morton dropped his jaw. Before, he had to be in a lot of debt to be able to afford his own tower. Now, by the miracle that was his disciple, he actually received one for free.

“Does that mean we get to live here, sir?” Camille asked in amazement.

Carlos was the same, too, “Oh, this is going to be excellent! I can just smell the thickness of the mana around here! Maybe we’ll become rank five novice wizards because of it!”

As he looked at how happy his disciples were, Wizard Morton couldn’t really find the courage to refuse Abel’s gift to him. Also, it might sound too good to him, but since the teleportation circles here were connected to Bakong City, moving here wouldn’t stop him from doing his job as the city guardian. He actually had no reason to turn Abel down.

“Wizard Murphy, that’s the tower I’ve built for you,” Abel pointed towards the other 7 towers.

“I’ll be taking it, then. It’s a lot better than where I live. Besides, it’s still inside the Duchy of Carmel, so it’s not illegal or anything if I move here.”

Abel then pointed towards the 6-floor magic tower, “And that’s the one for Wizard Willy. He should be back soon, I think.”

Wizard Morton scratched his chin for a bit, “That’s very considerate of you, Abel, but you know how stubborn Willy can be. He might be poor, but it’s not like he was just going to take the tower. If he does come back, try to persuade him that you’re asking him to protect your domain.”

“Let’s have a look at your tower now, Mentor,” Abel nodded and said.

“Sure, sure. Let’s take a look now,” Wizard Morton smiled.

When the group went to the base floor of the 12-level magic tower, Wizard Morton began to touch the wall with his hands.

“This isn’t from the Liante City branch, is it?” Wizard Morton asked.

Abel asked with concern, “Do you not like towers made in Liante City, Mentor? If that’s the case, I’m sorry. I only got points from Liante City.”

Wizard Morton quickly shook his head, “No, no no no! Don’t be apologizing to me! I’m saying this is too good. It’s so much better than the ones we’ve got from the St. Ellis Wizard Union branch!”

Wizard Yveline nodded, “Yeah, just take a look at the materials they’ve used to build the outer walls. This is so much better than what we used to have.”

When he heard the two senior wizards say this, the first thing that Abel thought of was Liante City. Unlike the St. Ellis Wizard Union branch, it was full of wizards in the mid-top tier. It was an extremely wealthy place, where only the best materials were assembled into a very concentrated area. Compared to other places, it was no wonder these wizards were so shocked to see how nicely built the magic towers were.

Abel said as he noticed the excitement in Wizard Morton’s eyes, “Let’s go in now, shall we?”

Before they went in, Abel made way to let Wizard Morton open the door. Since it was going to be the new “Morton Magic Tower,” it was only right that the owner of the building was the first to enter.
