Abe the Wizard

oor of Novice Wizard Sam.
He lightly knocked on the door.

Novice Wizard Sam’s voice came from within, “Is it Abel? Come in!”

Abel gently opened the door and walked in.
Novice Wizard Sam put down a book and lifted his head to look at Abel.
He asked with an odd tone, “Didn’t you say you need to go for three days, why did you come back after a day?”

“Mr.
Sam, I need to tell you something very important” Abel did not know how to tell Novice Wizard Sam all of a sudden.

“Speak up, what is it?” Novice Wizard Sam asked, seeing the hesitated look on Abel’s face.

“Mr.
Sam, I saw wizard Morton yesterday, he gave me an identity card and invite me to go to his magic tower today.” Abel did not explain how the situation had taken place entirely.
He only told Novice Wizard Sam about his conversation with Wizard Morton

“My spirit, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be at Morton magic tower now? Novice Wizard Sam asked in a hurry.

“Uncle Sam, I want to know your opinion!” Abel had changed how he addressed Novice Wizard Sam.
Since the two had gotten closer, their conversation had become more like an uncle talking with his nephew.

“Abel, you know that my teacher Yveline is a rank 6 wizard.
Even if you pass the examination and become one of his disciples after he comes back, you will only be a disciple under his name.
You won’t have any rights to live in the magic tower for the long term.” Novice Wizard Sam let out a sigh and proceeded to say “you know what Abel? You are a genius, it is your luck to be picked by Mr.
Morton.
This is your chance, so why would I stop you?”

Abel knew that Novice Wizard Sam was someone who was truly good to him.
He said, “Uncle Sam, thank you for everything you have done for me.”

Sam looked at Abel with eyes full of yearning and said “You can do now, you can truly spread your wings there.
Wizard Morton has 5 disciples.
His magic tower was the dream of every student of wizardry due to its vast opportunities.
You know, Wizard Morton was an intermediate wizard of the 3 main wizards of the Duchy.
Also, he is the only wizard that had cultivated an official wizard.”

Novice Wizard Sam hesitated for a while and proceeded to say “if… I mean, if you have the chance, can you help me ask Wizard Morton why I couldn’t be an official wizard!”

Abel looked at Novice Wizard Sam with a look of confusion.
Novice Wizard Sam then continued to say “A few years ago I had reached the state of ranking up, but something was blocking my way in the final step.
Wizard Morton is the most powerful wizard in the Duchy, he might know the reason why I could not rank up.
I know this request is a little presumptuous, but if you have the chance, can you please help me ask!”

“Uncle Sam, you don’t need to worry.
I will definitely help you ask.” Abel did not think Wizard Morton was someone hard to talk to.
His impression of Wizard Morton was that he was very serious when talking to strangers, but easy-going and humorous with his friends and family.
It seemed like asking this question for Novice Wizard Sam wouldn’t have any trouble, it shouldn’t need the assistant of wine.

“No matter what, don’t let my business affect you.
No matter what.” Novice Wizard Sam said with a hint of worry.
By that point, he had already regretted asking Abel to do this favor.
He only blurted it out since he had been stuck at the last step of being a rank 5 novice wizard for a long time without result.”

“I know Uncle Sam!” Abel could sense the extreme love and care Novice Wizard Sam had for him.

Novice Wizard Sam then stuck out his hand to hold Abel and said: “Don’t stay here anymore, go now, don’t let Wizard Morton wait.”

Abel stepped down for the first floor of Yveline magic tower, accompanied by Novice Wizard Sam to the front gate.
Abel took out his identity card from his chest pocket with both of his hands.
Novice Wizard Sam took the identity card and said with a smile, “You are on your own from now on.
Remember, make friends with everyone in the magic tower and try not to offend anyone!”

Hearing these long-winded words by Novice Wizard Sam, Abel felt a warm sensation in his heart.
He then gave a deep bow to Novice Wizard Sam and said goodbye.

Novice Wizard Sam opened the gate of Yveline magic tower as Abel walked out.

“The magic tower had opened its gate, someone had walked out!” Shouted one of the students of wizardry outside, one by one they all quickly turned their heads towards the direction of the magic tower.

“Mr.
Abel, anything I can help you with?” Said fatty Finkle as he quickly rushed towards the side of Abel.
