Rebirth Of Abium 100 Chapter 100: Discussion

'That's impossible! Kid, don't believe this story. Even though Runeth is a legendary mage, he can't pull off this kind of spell easily.'

Abium also thought the same and quickly asked with a frown.

"So, how are you going to use that blood essence to remove the shackles, my lady?"

"By using potions. Different potion formulas could remove the shackles. But all these potion formulas are only owned by large empires and few academies in the north." Tabitha said with a regretful tone.

At the same time, Abium suddenly thought of himself and asked her.

"But how come I didn't face any shackles?" As she was expecting his question, she gave him a bitter smile and responded.

"We don't know. When you got advanced into an official tier mage, Zivior almost fainted from the shock. He couldn't figure out how you didn't face any shackles and informed our teacher. But even our teacher Alius became clueless, so we thought of concealing that matter." Her words made Abium's eyes to widen in shock. Without minding his shocked expression, she continued,

"We know if you stayed in the magic tower, then the news about you will definitely go out. So, Zivior comes up with a plan to make you n.o.ble to send you out of the magic tower, and you agreed without any hesitation. Mostly, no one knew about your secret except Grold, Berold, and other second-tier mages."

'Heh, if I didn't accept that n.o.ble t.i.tle at that time, teacher Zivior might have planned on sending me to do some missions outside.' He nodded with an understanding and soon asked a few more questions about the potions.

After a few minutes, he got most of the answers.

'It must be due to the divinity I didn't face any shackles before. But if I face any shackles in the future, then I also need these potion formulas.' As Abium was in deep thought, Azolla's voice reminded him.

'It's not due to the divinity kid; It's due to your reckless behavior that your first shackle got broken.' Her words caused him to frown.

'What do you mean? When did I behave recklessly?' Abium quickly asked.

'Humph, it happened in that undead plane. When you touched that nether pool, spiritual energy from that lake entered your body excessively and even broke the shackle.' She said with a cold tone while Abium finally understood.

'Then I will definitely face shackles once I finished absorbing the spirit power from that divine fragment.' He sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, Tabitha noticed his facial expression and starting to speak with a startled expression.

"It appears you found out the secrets behind that broken shackle of yours. So, how did you did that?" She asked with shining silver eyes.

'Even if I tell her, she wouldn't believe me. Hmm, at least I can give her hints.' Abium quickly made up his mind and spoke.

"It's related to the world tree, my lady. I stumbled upon a pool that is connected to a world tree, and when I touched that pool, the spiritual power inside that pool directly entered my body. Due to the excessive amount of spirit power entering the body, the first shackle in my body also broken." His words left Tabitha to become speechless. She knew there was a deep relation to the world tree and the spirit energy.

"You are truly lucky, kid. If you had touched the world tree spirit roots, then you wouldn't be standing in front of me now. I heard touching those spirit roots could even kill a fourth tier mage." Tabitha said with a serious tone after maintaining a long silence. She now understood everything and breathed out a sigh of relief.

Abium also nodded his head while listening to her words and silently said to himself not to go near to the world tree.

As he was about to bid farewell to her, Tabitha started to speak.

"Kid, I know a friend who has a high tier artifact which could do the same work as that nature artifact. But the price is not someone like you could afford."

"How much, my lady?" He asked hurriedly.

"25,000 white golds." Abium got almost heart attack when hearing that amount and felt dizzy.

'Wait a minute! I have a few more elemental crystals. I can exchange it for some of those crystals.' His amber eyes instantly lit up as he thought of that. Last time when he auctioned two small elemental crystals, he almost earned a fortune. He quickly touched his spatial ring and started examining the crystals in his mind.

'Hmm, I have two s.p.a.ce-elemental crystals, one ice-elemental crystal, three earth-elemental crystals, one wind-elemental crystal, and darkness-elemental crystal. Hmm, Except s.p.a.ce-elemental crystals and darkness-elemental crystal, other elemental crystals will be no use for me.' He quickly made up his mind and asked Tabitha with a forced smile on his face.

"I have an elemental crystal, can he accept that as payment?"

Instantly Tabitha's expression froze, and soon she said with a high pitched tone.

"I knew you have more elemental crystals. Ha! Did you rob these treasures from any dragon's lair?" Tabitha sat there while looking at him as he was some kind of terrifying monster.

After calming her mind a bit, she returned to her former calm expression and asked.

"Do you have a wind, fire, or darkness elemental crystal?"

"I have wind elemental crystal, my lady." Abium instantly replied.

"Hmm, can you take that out? I want to see the crystal size would be worth 25000 white gold coins." Tabitha said while showed her right-hand palm outward. Without any refusal, Abium quickly took out a palm-sized transparent wind-elemental crystal and placed it on her hand.

"This is…" She looked at that crystal with bewilderment and truly astounded inside.

"It could sell for more than 30000 white gold coins if you auctioned it." She said with a slightly regretful tone and asked him one more time. "Do you really want to exchange that high tier crystal for this wind-elemental crystal?"

"Yes, my lady. I need that artifact urgently." He nodded his head.

'Otherwise, my chance of success in hiding from that elven's guy's eyes will be very less.' He muttered to himself.

"Okay. Maybe I can ask for any extra materials for the remaining amount. Hmm, do you need any spell scrolls in those three elements?" Tabitha pondered for a while and asked.

'Of course, yes. I don't have any first-tier or second-tier spell scrolls now. I also have a high chance of meeting those necromancers during the grand n.o.ble's gathering. Moreover, the ones who are going to cause trouble are second-tier necromancers. I won't even stand a chance against them if I met them alone.' He thought for a bit and asked her about the amount.

"How many white gold coins for a single second-tier spell, my lady?"

"It will be based on the spell rarity, Mage Abium. But most of them would be around 500 to 1000 white gold coins." When hearing Tabitha's reply, Abium almost falls on the ground.

'What the h.e.l.l? Isn't that completely rip off.' He felt his heart starting to ache when he thought of the amount. He gritted his teeth and quickly nodded.

"My lady, I need a total of 5 second-tier attack magic spell scrolls before the grand n.o.ble's gathering and some first tier." He said with a serious tone.

"Mage Abium, are you planning to do something dangerous?" Tabitha's expression went stiff for a moment, and she quickly asked in a hurried tone.

'Well, I won't hide these things from her. Moreover, those necromancers had already made their moves on me.' Abium muttered to himself and quickly responded.

"I got ambushed by a necromancer when I'm traveling to my territory, my lady. Well, he is just an apprentice necromancer, so I killed him without much problem. But the problem is, with them, I also saw viscount Gauvain's lackey and count Tibal's soldiers. I suspect they are colluding with the necromancers, so that's the reason I hurried back to capital secretly." After hearing Abium's explanation, Tabitha's expression got more serious and quickly informed someone using communication rune. Although Abium couldn't identify who the other party was, he thought it must be another second-tier mage.

What made him sighed out of relief was, she completely hides about him and vaguely told them two n.o.bles were colluding with necromancers.

After she finished her communication, Tabitha stood up and said with a sigh.

"This time, you truly gave us important information, Mage Abium. I think I have to inform about this to our teacher personally." She paused for a moment and quickly continued. "As for that high tier artifact, Don't worry, I will exchange it with my friend for you when returning from the magic tower. You can come back around eight o clock in the evening; I will be here with that artifact."

"Okay, my lady. I will come back later." Abium knew she was in a hurry to leave, so he also stood up and agreed. After thanking her, he left the room while casting the disguise spell on himself.

Without wasting any time, Abium walked out of that Orchid auction house and moved towards the Inn where he tied his horse. After he took his mount back, Abium directly moved from Merchants' Borough to the Commoners' Borough.

'I also have to buy a small house in the Commoners' Borough.' He said to himself while he was entering the commoners' Borough.

Soon, Abium arrived at 35 Warren street and booked a single room in Wood's Inn after tying up his mount near to that Inn. This Wood's Inn was a single-storied building with a shabby outer appearance. In the past, Abium always stayed here in this Inn, and later, he felt a bit attached to it.

Soon, the old man Green who was the owner that Wood's Inn took out a rusty iron key and gave it to him. Abium quickly took that key and moved towards the interior of the Inn.

After a few seconds of the walk, Abium arrived in front of a 5 1/2 feet tall wooden door. There was an iron lock attached to it near to the lock rail, and Abium quickly used that rusty iron key and unlocked it.

As he opened the wooden door, it made a screeching noise and followed by white wooden powder dust fell from the top rail.

Cough! Cough!

Inside, he saw a broken bed covered with a woolen blanket on the top and an old oak table and a chair placed near to it.

'Heh, It reminds me of the old days.' Abium let out a sigh and soon sat on the bed then starting to organize his thoughts.

'Today is 10th March. I have only 18 days to dig out more information about the incident that would happen during the grand n.o.ble gathering. First, from my understanding, I can tell the one who planned this gathering appears to be the elven guy.'

'As for the order of dead members' involvement, I know nothing about them. Why did they send Watson to kill the crown prince Huggin in the past? If they want to kill him, they have plenty of options before, right? Hmm, I can somehow guess them making chaos during the grand n.o.ble gathering is a distraction. Also, they must have planned this beforehand, like the red python organization.'

'Next is Holy light church members, I think a few of holy church members will be accompanying Duke Adhemar, Duke Louvel, and Margrave Eliot during the gathering. As for that Holy maiden Jeanette, I don't know for sure. I altered many peoples' future, so there is a possibility some anomaly might happen.'

'Now, on to the topic, what is my actual purpose here? Hmm, that's a tough question indeed. One thing for sure, I have to think of a way to save the crown prince. But with my current strength, that would be almost impossible. Ha! I guess I have to find a way and inform some clues to the academic mages.'

'But before all of that, I must find that mysterious old man and Baron Harry's grandfather elder Randolph and have a long chat with those old fogies.'

After thinking for a while, Abium thought of taking some rest as he laid on the bed, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.
