Chapter 1143: Law Enforcement

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Wizard Arbuthnot was a wizard law enforcer. Although he was just a rank 18 advanced wizard in a red cloak, even rank 20 advanced wizards had to pay respects to him.

Right now, he was enjoying his water spirit fruit juice (produced by regular elves, of course), inside the Wizard Union branch building of his current location. After hearing that Master Bennett’s favorite drink was the water spirit fruit juice, the drink had become something of a symbol of affluence. It also had to do with how the elves had been sending water spirit fruit trees to Abel. However, given the state of the Wizard Union now, many wizards were proud to have their own juice.

Wizard Arbuthnot couldn’t relax for long since his law enforcer card was beeping. Something had happened in his area. He connected his power of the Will to the card. From what it looked like, some wizards reported that a soul light was spotted over Snow Spirit Mountain.

He cursed to himself, “Damn it! I can’t even rest!”

He teleported himself to the teleportation circle of the Wizard Union branch building. He connected his power of the Will to the one at Snow Spirit Mountain but he realized that the connection couldn’t be made. Wizard Arbuthnot was very familiar with the area that he was in charge of, so naturally, he quickly picked a nearby city close to Snow Spirit Mountain.

Wizard Arbuthnot disappeared and reappeared in that city. He activated his card just so that he could use the teleportation circle amidst the city. If he didn’t do this, the city circle would’ve suppressed him the moment he tried to move.

Wizard Arbuthnot teleported himself several times towards the Snow Spirit Mountain. He stopped quickly, though. He could see seven soul lights, one big and six small streaks flashing in the distance. He was very afraid. Under the beam of the six smaller soul lights, the biggest one seemed extra clear.

A law-defying wizard just died. This was not something that Wizard Arbuthnot could handle. Very quickly, he took a temporary contact circle out of his portal bag and immediately reported to Joseph. Wizard Joseph was the administrator of the law enforcement department. All law enforcer wizards could report to him in the most emergent of times.

Wizard Joseph said with a tense look, “You got the situation clear?”

Wizard Arbuthnot replied, “I’m not close to the Snow Spirit Mountain yet, Master Joseph. I’m not sure!”

Wizard Joseph screamed, “Wizard Arbuthnot! That’s a red cloak you are wearing! Do you know why it’s red? It’s the color representing the many enemies that tried to go against the Wizard Union!”

Wizard Arbuthnot remained silent.

“NOW!” Wizard Joseph got louder, “Head to the Snow Spirit Mountain and make the situation clear!”

On the central continent, no one except the Nation of God would try to go against the Wizard Union. This was pretty much why the law enforcement department was also so unreasonable. No one was supposed to go against them, which was why it was such a serious matter that a law enforcement wizard died.

Wizard Arbuthnot replied loudly, “Yes, Master Joseph!”

He put away the contact circle and looked towards the seven soul lights. He swallowed his spit and looked towards the red cloak he was wearing. After giving himself some pep talk, Wizard Arbuthnot teleported himself towards the Snow Spirit Mountain.

The closer he was, the more that he felt afraid. He heard many, many sounds of machines banging on the ground. It sounded like some war was taking place. He was already thinking about the possibility of being killed by someone coming out of nowhere. Nothing was strange since a law-defying wizard was already dead. He had to continue with Wizard Joseph’s command, though, so he could only try to get closer.

Wizard Arbuthnot screamed as he reached the top, “Wizard Arbuthnot is here to inspect the situation!”

He didn’t want to be killed just because he didn’t give his name away in time. Instead of receiving a response, Wizard Arbuthnot could see busy working puppets. They were busy digging up the mountain. He even saw the Beamon giant beast and a law-defying wizard that was digging the ground.

At the scene, only one elf was sitting there. Yes, sitting. The elf was sitting on an elven-style chair in front of an elven-style desk. He was drinking from a crystal cup containing a drink that Wizard Arbuthnot was very familiar with. It had to be Master Bennett.

The Beamon giant beast, Mysterious law-defying wizard, and Elf.

This had to be him. To double-check this, Wizard Arbuthnot made sure to look at the drink the elf was taking. Yes, only Master Bennett would be after this.

Abel smiled at the law-enforcement wizard that appeared, “Greetings, wizard from the law enforcement department. Do you care for a drink?”

Wizard Arbuthnot bowed carefully, “Honourable Master Bennett! I didn’t know you’re here. What’s this for?”

Forget about the cloak. This was just an interaction between someone who was strong and someone who was weaker.

Abel laughed and replied, “The Snow Spirit Mountain disobeyed the rule of the class holders and laid their hands on the subcontinent where I was born. I came here to get rid of them.”

Wizard Arbuthnot got even more careful, “I have no right to meddle with what you did, Honourable Master Bennett, but would you permit me to report this to the headquarters?”

As for what caused this, Wizard Arbuthnot wasn’t going to ask at all. All he was requesting was that he could say that Master Bennett decided to sweep the Snow Spirit Mountain clean. Advanced wizards weren’t supposed to be killed under the rule of the Wizard Union, yes, but as a matter of fact, the Wizard Union could just turn a blind eye to this.

Abel made a gesture, “Please, go ahead.”

Wizard Arbuthnot quickly ran to the side. Again, he took out the contact circle and activated it.

Wizard Joseph asked in satisfaction, “What’s going on, Wizard Arbuthnot?”

He was very glad about Wizard Arbuthnot’s efficiency. This was just what the law-enforcement department needed.

Wizard Arbuthnot spoke as he looked towards Abel, “Master Bennett, is trying to get something by destroying the Snow Spirit Mountain.”

Wizard Joseph couldn’t believe it, “Which Master Bennett do you mean?”

“The elven potionmaster, Master Joseph. I’m talking about him!”

Wizard Joseph screamed again, “What? What! What kind of law enforcement wizard are you, Wizard Arbuthnot?”

Wizard Arbuthnot was speechless. He liked his boss, but he could get too serious at times. He didn’t know what to do here. Should he even go arrest Master Bennett? If he was, he might just be isolated from the rest of the central continent.

Wizard Joseph screamed, “Ask Master Bennett what he needs help with! Quick! Make sure he stays safe! If you can’t, use an emergency command and kill everyone who tries to attack Master Bennett on sight!”

Wizard Arbuthnot’s body shook, “Oh, right! Sure. Wait, couldn’t you make it clearer? I was almost going to arrest Master Bennett!”

Wizard Arbuthnot honestly didn’t expect Wizard Joseph to give him the permission to use an emergency command. He must’ve really appreciated Master Bennett allowing the use of a one-time item like this. After sending the emergency command, all the wizards within a 500-mile area would receive a message calling for help. After receiving the reinforcement message, all the members of the Wizard Union would have to go to the area designated. Otherwise, a large amount of the points would be taken away from them. It was supposed to be a very last resort, so Wizard Arbuthnot wasn’t even sure if he should use that. Given how Master Bennett was so relaxed drinking his juice, the wizards that he summoned over might just beat him to death when they saw that no help was actually needed.

Wizard Arbuthnot reported, “Master Joseph, Master Bennett is just taking a break. The fight’s already ended.”

Wizard Joseph commanded, “Master Bennett’s free? Let him talk to me, then!”

Wizard Arbuthnot didn’t dare to break the temporary contact circle, so he just took it carefully over to Abel’s side.

He bowed and placed the circle on the table, “Master Joseph of the Law Enforcement Department wishes to speak to you, Master Bennett.”

Abel poured a cup of juice for Wizard Arbuthnot, “Have a seat with me, Wizard Arbuthnot. Why not enjoy this juice first?”

Instead of sitting down, Wizard Arbuthnot went ahead and took the cup.

Abel turned to speak to the contact circle, “Excuse me, Wizard Joseph, but I’ve had some personal grudges against the Snow Spirit Mountain. If you can take care of this-”

A holographic figure appeared on the contact circle. It was Wizard Joseph.

Wizard Joseph smiled politely, “You could’ve left it to our hands, Master Bennett! You can just tell me if it’s something personal you want handled. I’ve got a team of specialists here who will make it extra safe for you. We can’t have you being exposed or anything now, can we, Master Bennett? If we do, that would going to be a great loss to the entire continent.”

As for what the personal grudge was, Wizard Joseph didn’t care less. All that happened was the ruin of a small-sized wizard group and the death of a low-tier law-defying wizard.

Abel smiled, “I didn’t do this myself, Wizard Joseph.”

Wizard Joseph smiled as well, “I get what you mean. You didn’t have to do too much to defeat a rank 21 law-defying wizard, I would imagine. Here, if you don’t mind me being too pushy, I’ll just write a reason for you in our official record. I’ll make it so that you did this to assist the Law Enforcement Department.”

Abel didn’t like the idea, “I don’t mind being more open about this, actually. You can ask Wizard Clamens if you’re interested in the details. I don’t think I’ve done anything out of place this time.”

If there was a breach of rule, Wizard Joseph wouldn’t have to come up with some sort of cover-up scheme.

Wizard Joseph laughed, “As long as you have a reason of your own, Master Bennett, I don’t think anyone would bother you for a law-defying wizard and a small-sized wizard group.”

Wizard Joseph did not sound like a law enforcer during this whole conversation. If anything, he sounded more like Abel’s accomplice. Wizard Arbuthnot couldn’t help but feel a bit bothered. It turned out that Wizard Joseph wasn’t so earnest. He felt anxious to learn about this, so he drank the juice that was passed to him. The chilling juice entered his body, and while he wasn’t sure what it did, it’s almost like his soul entered into a sublimed stage such that all his worries were gone.

Wizard Arbuthnot emptied his mind, and he realized something. All the training he undertook for the past several hundred years was coming to him. At last, it became something of an enlightenment.

Abel was just having a conversation with Wizard Joseph, and they suddenly felt a promotion qi that was next to them. They turned around and looked towards Wizard Arbuthnot, but they could see that Wizard Arbuthnot was sitting on the ground. Abel hurried up and threw a mana-gathering circle. He activated the mana gathering circle such that Wizard Arbuthnot had a quiet promotion in the mana environment.

Abel shook his head, “He’s pretty lucky.”

Wizard Joseph didn’t understand since he was on the other end, “What do you mean, Master Bennett?”
