Chapter 1391: Calculated

Chapter 1391 Calculated

Hundreds of intelligent officers were gathered in the Wizard Union investigation department office. In front of them was a set of parchments. The analyzing spirit was also hard at work to decipher the information, and their questions were all targeted toward one person. Abel.

This process went on for days, and detailed information about Abel kept surfacing as this most powerful investigation department worked its magic.

During this time, they ignited the super teleportation circle 3 times, which was probably the most they ever did for a single investigation.

"I think we can lure him out using his family in the Holy Continent!" An officer suggested.

"Speak up!" Wizard Hardy gazed at him and lowered his voice.

"Abel cares a lot about his family, so if we capture his family and demand him to go back. It is very likely that he will agree according to his personality!" The officer continued.

"But it might not be easy to capture his family in the Holy Continent. Their Harry Castle gained a new super teleportation circle so they can get god rank support any time. Not to mention, there might be even more powerful beings guarding the place!" Another officer said.

The commotion caused by the Harry family's new super teleportation circle was too big to escape the Wizard Union's investigation department, and there were many reports of wizards gone missing in Harry castle, so it was safe to assume that they were captured or killed by something powerful. "Have you considered how crazy Abel can be? What if he directly unleashed an attack on the wizard union. With his 5 god ranks and the fact that he was not in our teleportation network, the things he can do will be a big hassle!" Wizard Hardy added. After all, it was not a good idea to mess with someone's family.

Especially if it ran the risk of triggering Abel before it was necessary. What if Abel chose to attack instead of obey?

The Wizard Union's territory was huge compared to what Abel had, which also meant they had much more to lose.

They only had one chance to have a go at Abel. If they failed, they would gain themselves an extremely powerful enemy.

The hundreds of officers stared into the sea of documents helplessly.

They were all experts in plotting an assassination, yet they just couldn't come up with anything in the face of someone with a few god ranks on his side-especially for a 23 years old who didn't have much data for them to draw from.

Besides Abel's family friends, there just wasn't anything else he really cared about. Of course, they thought about saint Lorraine as well, but that would be even harder.

Saint Lorraine was the goddess of the moon's spokesperson, and she could use godsend any time she wanted. Also, saint Lorraine basically spent her day dwelling in the goddess temple, and it was basically impossible for the god rank wizards to enter the goddess of moon's territory.

Wizard Harry's face sank. He and his officers just could not leave this room unless they came up with something.

After all, a wizard might leak what they were plotting to Abel, considering how much Abel interacted with them. And if they failed, the first one dead might be Wizard Hardy himself.

He saw the reports personally. Back in the day, 2 legendary wizards have attacked Abel. One of them was killed immediately, and the other went missing at the Wizard union headquarters.

Therefore it only made sense that he feared for his life, and their plan had to be perfect.

Meanwhile, in the Furnace Fort, Bernie sat alone in his yard near the royal palace's mountain peak,

Every house around was owned by the most prestigious dwarf, and Bernie knew very well how he got his place.

He was only a rank 7 wizard, which was not powerful even for a dwarf, but his potential was limitless.

A part of his resources was supported by his good friend Abel, which meant he didn't have to ever worry about a single thing.

He had just completed his daily training, and he noticed something strange.

Even though the house was far from the blacksmith guilds, the sounds of iron hammering had never stopped.

This was because there was no sound barrier in his place, as the hammering sound was loved by every dwarf.

However, that day he was met with an eerie silence.

He immediately added an ice armor on himself. Since he was a little nervous, it took him a full 3 seconds to cast the spell.

Just when his heart lifted a little with his ice armor, a mountain of energy directly pressed him to the ground.

"Good child, don't move!" A familiar voice emerged.

"Wizard Jellal, what are you doing?" Bernie forcefully lifted up his head and gasped.

Wizard Jellal was one of the lower rank law defying wizards in the dwarves, they rarely talked, but he seemed like a nice old man who always helped out.

"Bernie, I want you to do me a little favour. You and your family will repay handsomely for it!" Wizard Jellal sounded friendlier than usual as he emailed.

"Wizard Jellal, I will definitely help my elders. Just say your command!" Bernie was a little suspicious, but he still said. He didn't know why a law defying wizard dwarf would need to suppress him. He was helpless anyway. "Bernie. I see that you are now rank 7 wizard. You should celebrate and enjoy life a little, why don't you invite your friend?" Wizard Jellal continued to smile.

Bernie's eyes twitched. In the Central Continent, he only had one friend who was not in the Furnace fort, and that was the great Abel.

Someone must want to use him to lure Abel out.

"I don't understand, which friend are you talking about?" Abel spoke with his last bit of hope.

"The dragon headmaster Abel, ain't you guys good friends? After all you are only allowed here because of him!" A smirk emerged on Wizard Jellal's face as though he was looking down at Bernie.

"Wizard Jellal. I don't know who you are working for but a dwarf should not betray his tribe or his friend. This is our principle and we will stand by it even if it costs our lives!" Bernie said without a single bit of respect. He knew very well that Wizard Jellal was not working for the dwarves this time, and he had clearly sneaked into his house, which was definitely not how the dwarves do things.

Most importantly, he knew the dwarves would not betray Abel.

"Bernie, that's none of your business, but if you don't take the offer, I'm afraid you and your family might not live for long!" Wizard Jellal gave out a cold smile.

"Family will not let me live if they knew I betray Abel to save them anyway. Also you are underestimating Abel, i never seen him fail before!" Bernie added blankly.

As a dwarf from the Holy Continent, his heart was much purer than the ones in the central continent which saw the endless struggles between forces.

Death was scary, but it was still better than betraying a friend.

"Bernie, you are still a child. Do you know we still have countless ways to make you change your mind?" Wizard Jellal lowered his voice.

Wizard Jellal would not have done this if the wizard union weren't so desperate or if Bernie didn't stay in his house all the time.

But actually, he had already betrayed the dwarves for joining the Wizard Union investigation department.

Of course, the benefit this identity gave him was impossible to ignore. After all, he was only a law defying wizard because of it.

He was monitoring the dwarves move in the Furnace fort day by day just to report to the wizard union.

He felt no remorse about what he was doing. If he did not take the opposite, the wizard union could easily find another dwarf to replace him.

Since the wizard union's order was extremely urgent, he had to force Bernie to comply.

After all, Bernie was extremely special to the dwarves as well. His disappearance would definitely cause the dwarves to notify Abel.

Therefore, he couldn't make Bernie do anything suspicious. Wizard Jellal then increased his energy, and Bernie fainted. Afterward, he set o a teleportation circle in the yard and ignited it with a few intermediate gems. A teleportation circle like that was secretly kept in the wizard union, and it was extremely valuable.

Soon, white light sparkled, and a man stepped out.

It was Wizard Hardy. Considering how critical this mission was, he had to make a move himself.

"Mr Hardy!" Wizard Jellal quickly bowed.

"How's it going?" Wizard Hardy looked around and asked.

"Bernie is being suppressed but he is not obeying my words so I will leave him to you!" Wizard Jellal spoke carefully.

"Very nice!" Wizard Hardy nodded.

Afterward, Wizard Jellal led him into the room and saw Bernie lying on the ground.

"So he is a rank 7 wizard already!" Wizard Hardy frowned.

One could only be called a true professional after rank 6 since their body would be very different from normal people.

Most distinct of which was the soul, which was why it was very hard for the Holy Kingdom to brainwash professionals.

But it was not totally impossible to hypnotize a professional.

Wizard Hardy was not planning to hypnotize Bernie forever. All he wanted was to control Bernie to send out some message to Abel. Therefore, he took out an off white color potion and poured it into Bernie's mouth.

It was the hypnosis potion. It was secretly developed by the investigation department to use on special targets. When the potion was in effect, the target would fully act upon the controller's will.
