After having dinner with Loraine, Abel was preparing to go to the bedroom to help Black Wind with its mount enhancement technique. Steward Ken approached him.
âMaster, the trainer for Black Wind has been waiting for you. Would you like to see him now?â He asked, bowing towards Abel.
âBring him to the guest lounge, and Iâll see him there.â Abel turned and began walking towards the guestâs lounge.
Abe had just sat down in the guest lounge drinking some juice when Ken came in with a big, burly man.
âMaster, this is trainer Marcy.â Ken introduced Abel then quickly stepped aside.
âMr. Marcy, thank you for coming by.â Abel stood up and bowed slightly.
âDear Baron Abel, I am at your service!â Said Marcy.
âKen said that youâre experienced in training mount wolves?â Abel asked curiously, looking at the eye-catching Wolf claw scar on Marcyâs face.
âYes, Baron Abel. I was taken into slavery by the orcs for more than ten years, and I have been involved in the training of several Mount wolves for the wolf riders in the Orc empire!â Marcy explained to Abel, making no secret of his past.
Mount wolves were extremely rare in the human world, so when Abel heard about Marcyâs past experience, he was glad to know that there was a trainer with such experience in training mount wolves.
âKen, get Black Wind over here, and show Mr. Marcy!â Abel spoke towards Ken, then turned to Marcy with a smile and said, âMy Black Wind has never been systematically trained because of his lack of experience. Heâs a very playful nature. He loves to play around wildly too.â
âBaron Abel, these mount wolves are very playful when theyâre young. But with proper training, they can be battle-effective within three months.â Marcy said confidently.
âWhooo!â like a black bolt of lightning, Black Wind rushed inside the guest lounge through the door. Within split seconds, he was already beside Abel, rubbing his head against his body.
âBlack Wind, sit down properly,â Abel ordered with a gentle tone. Black Wind then immediately sat on the ground obediently, but his head kept moving around restlessly.
âHow old is this mount wolf, Baron Abel?â Marcy asked Abel, looking hesitantly at Black Wind.
âAbout three months,â Abel replied.
âMy god, your Black Wind is even stronger than mount wolves that were 6 months old. I couldnât even tell his age for a moment, Iâve just never seen such strength at such age.â Marcy exclaimed
When Abel heard this, he couldnât help himself but asked calmly, âSince youâve been in the Orc empire for many years. Have you heard about a technique known as âMount enhancementâ?â
Marcyâs face seemed like he had remembered something, a moment later, he said firmly, âthe honorable baron Abel, I have never heard of the âmount enhancementâ technique. The Orc empire is very different from the human world. The more powerful the technique is, the more simple and direct its name would be. So according to my interpretations, your so called âMount enhancementâ would probably be a secret technique.
Abel recalled the wolf raider where he killed and took Black Wind from. Although he had a âMount enhancementâ technique with him. His mount wolf was pretty much the same as any other mount wolf. But the use and reasons are still unknown, as the wolf rider died before he was able to use it.
Back then, Simon attained the âmount enhancementâ technique sign during one of his adventures. After the death of nearly all of his companions in the adventure, he was found an orcâs technique sign in an abandoned shrine that was filled with hidden dangers. However, the technique sign didnât include any instructions which meant Simon wasnât able to use it.
Simon believed that orcâs technique sign mustâve been extremely precious since he had paid such a high price of losing most of his companions. So even if he didnât know how to use it, he wanted to trade it for a large sum of wealth. But, his status was way too low. This meant if he traded with other orcs, he wouldâve been ripped off or scammed. This was why he wanted to trade it away after he came back from the trial of death, as he wouldâve had a much higher status to trade by then.
Although Simon knew that orc skill cards were very valuable, because his family was small and none of them could become a Wolf rider, he had to carry the âMount enhancementâ skill card with him, which ultimately became Abelâs.
Marcy knew by this time that the young Baron in front of him mustâve possessed a âMount enhancementâ technique sign which would make his mount wolf extremely powerful. As Abel had told him about this classified information, he couldnât help but be shocked as he didnât know what this young Baron would do with him afterward.
âMr. Marcy, I will let you take care of Black Wind. You can train it during the day, and I will come back every evening to perform Black Windâs âmount enhancementâ. Do you have any specific requirements for the payment for this job?â Abel did not hide anything from Marcy, because even if he hid it now, he would still find out about it after a few months of working with Black Wind, so might as well let him know now.
Abel had been very secretive with keeping the orc technique sign in fear of the noble arbitral tribunal or people from the shrine temple in condemning him. But he was no longer the old Abel. He no longer had to fear these small things due to his high status as a Baron now.
âBaron Abel, I would like to join the Abel family to become a trainer within your family.â Marcy made up his mind as a trainer in your family.â Marcy made up his mind after a moment of groaning.
âYou donât need to do that, Mr. Marcy. Orc skills may be troublesome to others, but they are nothing to me, and you may rest assured that it would not cause any loss of dignity for you on the pretext of secrecy.â Abel smiled as he understood clearly whatâs on Marcyâs mind.
After hearing Abel talk about a volatile subject so calmly, Marcy was reassured by his choice. With a young Baron full of confidence, his family would continue to increase their strength within society. If he joined a family like this, he wouldâve had his safety guaranteed for the rest of his life. All his life, he had worked extremely hard. With a few near misses in death, he was certain that he wanted a safer lifestyle.
âMaster Abel, Iâm sure that I want to join the Abel family!â Marcy had changed the way he calls Abel as he said firmly.
âAll right, then youâll be the professional trainer for the Abel family.â Abel nodded, then turned to steward Ken and said, âKen, prepare 5000 gold coins for Marcy for his training fees for Black wind and also make arrangements for her family in terms of residency.â
âThank you, master! Marcy bowed.
âYes, master!â Ken bowed too.
âAll right, if thereâs nothing else, you are all dismissed. Iâm going to help Black Wind now.
Abel said, waving his goodbyes to both Ken and Marcy.
In nobleâs etiquettes. There were different ways to address a person, although the differences were small, they were quite delicate. If the person you are addressing had a certain status you just address them with something that showed respect and distance. If someone was closer to you, you could address them less formally to reflect your closer relationship
Abel was also very satisfied. Marcyâs experience would allow Black Wind to receive the same training that was in the Orc empire. Looking at the somewhat confused Black Wind on the side, it didnât realize that its relaxation period is coming to an end and the training would start soon. Abel then softly padded Black Windâs head and took it back to his bedroom for âmount enhancementâ.
At the end of the âmount enhancementâ, Abel returned Black Wind to Ken, who had come to deliver 10 days of food for Abel. Ken now had to take Black Wind to Marcy. Starting from today, Black Wind was to live and train like any other mount wolves that were in the Orc empire.
After Ken and Black wind were sent away, Abel put Kenâs food for the 10 days into a personal locker. If the food were left outside, the meat, cakes, milk and other food wouldâve all went bad in a few days. Fortunately, there was now a personal locker, which has enough storage space for Abel to store 10 days worth of food.
Abel then closed the doors and Windows, used his magic to open the scroll of Town Portal, and the wonderful rippling portal appeared. He then traveled through the portal as he had once again arrived in Rogue encampment.
The rogue encampment was quiet as usual. Other than the sound of the water and the wind, was the same white tent that stood there. The only thing standing between the sky and the ground was Abel.
Afterward, Abel took out his hourglass and laid it on the ground for the first day of his basic wizard meditation practice. It seemed that this environment was more conducive to meditation. At the very beginning, he had already entered the back of his mind, and the magic began to be drawn into the pattern of the rank 1 wizard.
