Chapter 420 - Sorting Out the Loo
Chapter 420 Sorting Out the Loo
After turning on the seclusion circle, Abel opened the teleportation portal to the Rogue’s Encampment. Once he went inside, he was finally freed of the burdens on his mind.
Cliff was dead. Abel did it himself, but he didn’t feel relieved at all. If anything, Cliff’s last words only made him feel even more uncomfortable. As of now, it was true that no one knew who the real killer was (except, well, the killer himself), but he decided that it was for the best if he laid low for the time being.
Now, then. Now that he was in the Rogue’s Encampment, he had all the time he needed to look at the stuff he gathered from Wizard Cliff. No, not the magic tower. It’s already a part of Johnson, and he needed extra space to place an entire tower by itself.
There was one thing that he wanted to look at the most: Wizard Cliff’s portal bag. He didn’t have enough time to look at it before. Other than that, there were also the portal bags of some other wizards inside the St. Ellis Wizard Union headquarter.
First, Abel took out everything inside Wizard Cliff’s portal bag. It was a large-sized bag with a volume of 10 cubic meters. When everything was out, a mountain of various objects appeared in the middle of the Rogue’s Encampment.
As Abel looked through these items, he realized that most of them weren’t of much use to him. For example, there were a lot of perfect gemstones. As much as Wizard Cliff cherished them, they were nothing but ordinary objects to him.
There were also a lot of rune patterns. Still, apart from some of the defensive circles, most of them just took too much time to activate. Abel would rather just use his skill tree than to have them take up space inside his portal bag.
And those potions. Abel only used dark-golden quality potions now. He didn’t even want to look at the ones that Wizard Cliff had. Most potions had some sort of side effects to them, so he wanted to avoid as much unfiltered substances as he could. This was why he would only drink potions that he made himself.
Not everything was useless, though. The spell books and commentaries Cliff wrote were all very educational. They would prove to be very important for Abel’s training. Or, they could be good for his magic item collection.
There were also two passive defensive items. Wizard Cliff was using them the entire fight. They both gave Abel a lot of trouble at the time. Unfortunately for him, only two were allowed to be carried at once. Since he already had the ice dragon protection necklace, he could only choose one to carry on himself.
So, choose one out of the two passive defensive magic items. One was a belt. The other was a ring. It was an easy choice for him. He was already wearing the snake’s self-recovery belt, and nothing was good enough to replace the snake’s self-recovery belt.
That left the ring. Abel never liked wearing rings. Perhaps it had to do with how he liked to work out in his previous life. He decided to hang it on his necklace, at the spot next to his portal beast ring.
Curiously, there was also a strange crystal item. It was shaped like David’s star, which was often the shape that’s used for magic circles on the Holy Continent. From what he could sense from it, there was a lot of lighting energy that was inside. It was absorbing the mana in the air to generate even more energy.
If it weren’t for how rich the mana was around the Rogue’s Encampment, Abel would’ve never felt this transformation of energy so strongly. By his estimate, this crystal could release about three lightning streaks in a day. Once that limit was reached, it would take an entire day to recharge.
So that’s why Wizard Cliff’s “lightning” spell was so powerful. He must’ve used this crystal item to charge up his mana. It looked kind of old, though. It was probably more of an ancient tool than a device that’s created recently.
Abel had to be decisive about what he wanted. He was no longer the amateur that carried nothing with him. After the other portal bags were cleared, he gave them all to his summoned creatures to use.
For the spiritual guardian knight captain, he decided to put a lot of gears inside its portal bag. Since its death qi was strong enough now, it could open the portal bag itself to switch to whatever equipment it was told to.White Cloud also needed its own portal bag. Once it did, Abel was going to put in a lot of his “ration potion” in it. While White Cloud could stay in the sky for several days without food, it still needed to feed itself.
Abel wanted more portal bags for himself, too. His kong kong spiritual beast bag was starting to get too cramped with all the stuff that he had. If he could have multiple portal bags inside his kong kong spiritual bag, he could save a lot of space would’ve been saved. He wasn’t that resourceful yet, of course, but it’s something that he was working towards.
Finally, there were the two boxes that Black Wind dug up from the ground. If they didn’t contain the power of the dimension, they would’ve been destroyed by Abel’s super exploding ball. Once they were opened, he could see that there were some portal items inside.
It was weird. It was a regular box on the outside, but once the lids were off, you could see space that was about ten times bigger. These were probably for doing office work. Unlike other portal items, you didn’t need to open it with your power of the Will. It could be opened manually. It could be carried around very easily. It seemed like something that anyone would be comfortable to use.
Once they were opened, Abel could see that they contained secret information of every family in the Kingdom of St. Ellis. He wasn’t interested in conquering a nation, though. Now that he had the dark world to explore, he didn’t want to meddle too much into “worldly affairs.”
The other box contained all sorts of rare materials. Meteorite iron. Various precious metals. The quantity was enough for Abel to make a few new sets of armors. There were also a lot of materials for alchemy. While he wasn’t sure what most of them were, that didn’t stop him from understanding how valuable they were.
All in all, he had gotten a lot of good things this time around. Abel had already made up his mind. The secret information could go to the Harry family’s residence in Harvest City. The two portal boxes, too.
Imagine that, all the treasures could be fit into one or two boxes. It’d be a perfect gift for Lord Marshall and the Knight of Bennett.
