Chapter 102: Meditation Techniques for Beginner Wizards

Within 3 miles of the magic tower, there was a neat row of typical Bakong City architectural houses standing on one side of the main road along the mountain.
From there, you could see the three magic towers that were on the top of the hill, and from there, you could see the entire Bakong city.

There were a total of 50 houses here, each of them was built with the same structure.
They weren’t particularly eye-catching.
However, these houses had a small courtyard, which made it quite convenient for Abel to interact with his mount wolf.
Therefore, Wizard Sam was kind enough to prepare a house here for Abel.

Abel placed the long grey robe over his head and walked slowly along a road on the edge of the mountain.
It was dinner time.
Many of the other same outfitted students of Wizardry were also leaving their houses.
The people who resided here were mostly students of wizardry, with a few noble servants waiting here for their masters who were practicing spiritually.

Originally, Ken, one of Abel’s stewards, was planning to arrange several servants here to take care of Abel’s daily life, but Abel refused and simply requested him to send someone to bring over Black Wind here regularly every day and to take it back during the evening.

As soon as he entered the house 16, which was Abel’s house, a dark shadow emerged upon him.

“Black Wind, stop that now!” Abel had a needy passion for Black Wind, and as it grew larger, he became stronger and stronger.
If a small calf like Black Wind attacked a man, he would surely fall to the ground.

Black Wind’s tongue kept licking Abel’s face as if this was the only way to show how much he missed his master.

“Master.” Ken stood behind the Black Wind and bowed to Abel.

“It’s alright, Ken, you don’t have to come here yourself.
You’ve got a lot of things to do in Bakong City already.
Next time, just tell a servant to bring Black Wind here.” Abel said towards Ken, who was extremely loyal to Abel.

Although Abel was staying in Bakong City, there were still things that required him and others to manage and to take care of.
For example, Abel had properties in Bakong City, a mansion, as well as a manor outside of the city.
These properties had to be cared for and managed.
It meant that Ken had to stay to take care of them.
As Abel resided in Harry’s castle, with Ken being Abel’s steward, Ken had always stayed within the castle and had not been anywhere else until recently.

Now that Abel was left alone in Bakong City, Ken insisted on staying with him, which he rarely did.
This meant that Ken was now in charge of all affairs in Bakong City so that Abel would be able to spare all of his time to enter the magic tower and to become a sorcerer’s apprentice.

Although Ken did not understand why a powerful intermediate knight, as well as a master blacksmith, would ever want to enter the magic tower to become a wizard follower, he still faithfully organized and prepared everything for Abel.

With the use of the “Mount enhancement spell” being used more and more widely, Abel had to keep the threat of the skill to a very low level.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to use it near the magic tower.

Looking at Black Wind’s face, which was filled with enjoyment, Abel began to increase his force slightly.
Black Wind was suddenly awoken and immediately gave Abel a look in the eyes, and the look seemed as if it was asking why did Abel interrupt its’ relaxation moments.

Abel tried to control Black Wind’s massage duration to 30 minutes.
Although the golden combat qi had only lasted for 30 minutes, with the pure golden combat qi flowing through, it was far more superior than the quality of an hour worth of massage from before.

After bidding farewells with Ken and Black Wind, Abel walked back to the magic tower.
As he journeyed back, his heart was thinking about when he could finally learn the methods of the wizard’s meditation.
Only when Abel stepped inside the magic tower did he realized that Yveline, Sam’s teacher, had already left.
With the wizard’s travel time being extremely difficult to determine, it made Abel quite anxious as he was only one step away from attaining his dream method of the wizard’s meditation.
Now, he was stuck in the final step.

When approaching the magic tower, Abel felt a trace of malice from the apprentice wizard outside of the tower.
He couldn’t help but immediately felt a sense of distraction within his heart.
Why would anyone gain a sense of hatred towards him when he had only just entered the magic tower?

When Abel was about to turn to look, the sense of malice was suddenly gone.
Abel then tried to examine at the 30 or so students of wizardry that were in front of his eyes, but he couldn’t find anything, and there was nothing more he could do about it.
Maybe it was just someone who was jealous of his luck.

As Abel walked towards the bottom of the magic tower, he placed his identity card, which was on his waist and pressed it onto the door, then there was invisible energy that swept through his body.
Without the strength of Abel’s power of the will, he wouldn’t have been able to spot these types of energetic motions.

An identity card was a magical item that can only be used within the magic towers.
It was mainly used for authentication in important places as well as a tool for transmitting messages inside the magic towers.

“Abel, come over here and help me clean up the lab,” Sam, a level 5 novice wizard, said suddenly from the identity card on Abel’s waist.

Abel was immediately roused through the sound of Sam’s voice, which he promptly replied, “Yes, Mr.
Sam.” Abel then quickly walked towards the lab, where Sam was clearing away the scattered lab equipment from the lab table.

Judging from the mess that was on the floor, Abel realized it was another unsuccessful experiment.
So he took out a broom from the corner and began to sweep away the debris and pieces of fragments that were on the floor, when he was finished, he mopped the floor with water.

“Abel, please don’t blame me for making a Lord like you to do these chores.” Said Sam, whiling smiling towards Abel.

“Of course not.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr.
Sam !” Obviously, Abel knew everything that Sam had done for him.
Here, Abel wasn’t allowed to refer Sam as uncle as Sam had explained to him before already since Abel possessed the lowest status within the magic tower, everyone had to be addressed as “Mr.” except for other fellow students of wizardry wizard.

In order to make Abel in becoming his follower, Sam had to drive out his former follower, which was not known until he came to hear about it from other wizard followers.
Sam had never told him about this matter.

“The teacher won’t be back any time soon.
He sent a message today, and he said he won’t be back for another two months.” Sam said.

“It’s all right, Mr.
Sam, it’s only two months.
I can always wait.” Although Abel was disappointed, he didn’t express it.

Sam, the novice wizard, was very satisfied with Abel’s performance and said with a smile, “I have already told the teacher that you are my nephew, so he agreed to let me teach you the “beginner Wizard meditation.” If you can learn it, it proves that you have the qualification in becoming a wizard, if not, you have to return to your foster father and continue to be noble.”

There were excitement and a sense of gratitude in Abel’s voice as he replied.”Thank you, Mr.
Sam!”

“The other three apprentices in the tower are all level 1 novice wizards except for you.
As my apprentice, you shall notify me if any of them dares to bully you.” Sam, the novice wizard, said to Abel with a worried tone as he clearly wasn’t aware of Abel’s strength as a knight.

Each of the four disciples of Evelyn, the level 6 wizard, was allowed to bring in one wizard follower into the tower, more like a servant than a follower, whose main job in the tower was to look after their own superiors.

“They didn’t bully me, Mr.
Sam.” Abel felt a little strange as he wondered why Sam would say something like this.

Sam, the novice wizard, sneered, he seemed not to want to bring up this particular subject again.
He then took a thin sheepskin book out of his arms and handed it to Abel, “This book is not a precious secret, but it is the root of our wizardry, so don’t let others see it.”

“Yes, Mr.
Sam.” Abel took the sheepskin and held it tightly in his hand, as if afraid that the book might fly away.

“Read through the book yourself first, if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me.” Sam looked at the instruments that were on the laboratory table and whispered ruefully, “It failed again, now I need to search for new materials for the experiment.”

Seeing Abel was still standing at where he was, Sam waved his hands and said, “Go ahead, study hard, and when your magic powers are fully mapped out in your mind, you will see a complete “Beginner Wizard Meditation” pattern in your mind.
When you’re truly ready, you can come over to me to learn your first spell.”

“Yes, Mr.
Sam.” Abel gave Sam a bow and left the room.

Abel’s room was a small room that was located on the second floor of the magic tower.
The room had no windows; there was only a bed, a desk, and a chair.
Moreover, there weren’t even any extra spaces to allocate for any other necessities.
With the majority of the magic tower’s space being used to place more decorating magic circle.
This meant there wasn’t much space left over in each level of the tower, as long as there were basic necessities, it was already pretty decent for an apprentice like Abel.

The good thing about a wizard’s diet was it didn’t require their followers to take care of it as there were dedicated people who were able to deliver fresh honey bread, wine as well as various meats to the magic towers.
With various selections of foods, there was even a specific set of meals for a follower like Abel.
Abel was not someone with a lot of interest in food, but he still felt that the food was quite delicate, and has an exquisite taste.
