Chapter 891: Divide

“The reason I’ve gathered all of you is that I have some good news to announce!” Wizard Hogg turned his gaze from Wizard Frank to the others and smiled.

“Good news? Seems exciting, just like mining!” Wizard Evans whispered sarcastically to a wizard beside him.

His voice was soft, but they were all elite wizards. Nothing could escape their ears.

“WIzard Evans, you are exactly right. The good news has to do with mining. But I don’t think you want to join anyway, why don’t you take a rest!” Wizard Hogg gazed and lowered his voice.

“Captain, no offense, but this place is too boring. How am I going to make it through a month?” Wizard Evans quickly explained.

He joked around with Wizard Hogg quite often, but he would never joke around with business. If the captain said there is good news, there is good news. There was no way Wizard Evans would miss the chance.

“Wizard Abel from our team just talked with me, and he said his beast Johnson is very sensitive to minerals, so he wants to let Johnson do the mining, and the rewards will be spread among the team!” Wizard Hogg smiled.

“Wizard Abel, just point the location, and I will get my puppet to start digging. We will definitely have a lot of gems to take home!” Wizard Frank yelled in excitement.

However, the others didn’t seem as excited. Most elite wizards were very wealthy. Even if they spend a month digging continuously, they had to divide the gems between everyone, which probably wouldn’t be much.

Still, everyone was very grateful for Abel’s offer. A loyal teammate who doesn’t care about little things was more trustworthy in a life and death battle.

The main reason Wizard Hogg had accepted this blatantly safe and boring mission was so that Abel could fit in with the team better.

Therefore, they would more likely trust each other when the time comes for a risky battle mission in the future.

Although Abel was an official member of the team after passing the trial, getting fully accepted by others still needed some time. Trust is hard to develop for wizards.

“Just watch what WIzard Abel does first and see if he needs any help! Everyone knows wizard Abel is a Grandmaster Blacksmith. He has a lot of methods when it comes to dealing with different minerals!” Wizard Hogg lowered his voice and gaze at Wizard Frank. It seems like he didn’t like the idea of Wizard Frank using his puppet too much.

Although bringing a puppet was not forbidden, Wizard Hogg knew how big Wizard Frank’s portal bag was. It was only 2 square meters, and a puppet would have taken most of the space. He won’t have any more room for resources if a battle occurs.

However, Wizard Hogg wouldn’t publicly embarrass Wizard Frank. It might do more harm than good, so he might save his criticism for later.

“Wizard Abel, you can begin!” Wizard Hogg nodded at Abel.

“Yes, captain!” Abel said as he padded his chest. Afterward, a gigantic portal appeared, and Johnson stepped out.

“Johnson, help me locate some mana gems and gather all of them!” Abel commanded through his soul chain.

Johnson bowed like a human and reached its senses underground.

“Wizard Abel, why is the big guy not moving?” Vice-Captain Lamo stepped up and asked since he was quite good with Abel.

As soon as Wizard Lamo finished those words, he noticed the rocks on the ground moving automatically. Afterward, pieces of white beginner-level mana gem began to emerge.

“That’s….” Wizard Lamo was stunned. He saw quite a bunch of gems in his days, but it was the first time he saw them emerged like that.

He turned to Johnson with a fiery gaze. He knew it was Johnson’s ability.

“Haha, amazing!” More and more gems emerged, and the wizards applauded.

At first, only low-level gems were coming out one by one, but then mid-level gems emerged.

Soon, hundreds of gems had surfaced, and the rate kept increasing.

Moving minerals was Johnson’s natural ability, just like breathing to humans. It didn’t take any effort at all.

After a few more minutes, 300 gems had surfaced.

Wizard Hogg and others were shocked when the first top-level gem emerged. Although the Lighting ground did not have a protection circle, those countless mana gathering circles underground still needed top-level gems to sustain them.

Therefore, the Lightning clan needed top-level gems just as much as other organizations. Also, it was far easier to exchange high-level gears with a top-level gem than a normal one.

Abel stood by and watched. He was numb to it. He had almost unlimited gems on him anyway.

He had a mountain of perfect gems in his Varaya’s ring alone, which he had prepared in the Holy Continent.

He was an emperor in the Holy Continent, and no one would care no matter how many pieces of gems he gathered. There were many mines in the Kingdom of St Ellis in the first place anyway, and most of the gem exports were taken care of by the kingdom.

Since scattered mana gems were useless to most, they could only be used on jewelry. Ever since Abel started to gather those scattered gems, the price of jewelry shot up.

What Abel cared about the most was the type of gems he obtained. The ones that came out of this mine were what he called a diamond. They had the ability to counteract attributes. On top of its scarcity, it had always remained as one of the most expensive gems.

To wizards, they were the best gem. They could be used to support many attribute-specific magic circles, unlike fire gems, ice gems, and lighting gems.

For example, a giant fire attribute circle needed a fire gem to support it. Other types could create a conflict between the elements. However, those mana gems could be used as a perfect alternative.

Abel suddenly realized why the Holy Knights were after these gems. The light energy within the was the polar opposite to the death energy in skull gems.

“We are rich! We are rich!” Wizard Evans laughed. He then turned to wizard Hogg and said, “Captain, can we please accept another gem mine guarding mission? with Johnson on our side, every gem in the world is ours!”

“Wizard Evans, you better keep your mouth shut. And that applies to all of you. No one is allowed to say anything about today. WIzard Abel trusted us to show us such ability, so you better not betray him!” Wizard Hogg gazed at Wizard Evans, then turned to others and lowered his voice.

“Yes, captain. That ability is a fountain of wealth. There’s no way we will let anyone else know about it!” Wizard Evans nodded.

At first, the team’s elite wizards didn’t care about gems too much, but as their quality and volume increased, a smile emerged on their faces.

After 2 hours, Johnson had gathered a little mountain of gems.

Johnson stood up again and stepped back to Abel for a bow. The mining session had finished.

Abel put Johnson back in the monster ring and didn’t say anything. He kept his promise. All the gems he gathered belong to the team.

“Lamo, take a look. How should we divide those gems not or take it back first?” WIzard Hogg gazed at the mountain of gems and turned to wizard Lamo.

“Captain. Just divide them now. Our portal won’t fit if both of us try to take it back. It’s a hassle!” Wizard Lamo said. It was the hassle of being too wealthy.

“Wizard Abel, since you are the one who gathered the gems, how do you want to divide them?” Wizard Hogg was not expecting so many gems. They were enough to make any wizard go insane, so he had to go through Abel again.

If the wizards in this team didn’t depend on others for their lives in battles, they might have started to fight for those gems already.

In the past, even wizard Hogg couldn’t tell how many gems a large mine had, but now he had a rough idea.

50,000 beginner-level gems. 10,000 intermediate-level gems, 120 top-level gems. That was why most of the gems they found were beginner-level gems.

However, Abel knew a large gem mine would have more than this. Maybe he was too violent with his mining in the past. Most of the gems in the mine were torn out by him.

That was how gem mines get damaged. When you took many gems out of them, they would no longer be able to produce more.

“Captain, just divide them equally!” Abel replied casually.

Abel’s calmness stunned the wizards once again. Those things were not normal wealth. They were the net worth of at least a few rank 20 wizards,

“Wizard Abel, are you sure?” Wizard Hogg asked again.

“Yes, captain, I’m sure. I’m a Grandmaster Blacksmith. Making a good income is as easy as flicking my hand to me!” Abel smiled.

“Ok, then we will do as WIzard Abel said. WIzard Lamo can be in charge of the process!” Wizard Hogg nodded. He then added, “if you are thinking of exchanging other resources with your top-level gem. Please consider the team. Top-level gems are very important to the Lightning!’

If they divide the gems equally, each wizard gets at least 10 top-level gems. It was more than their years of savings, so each wizard had a big smile on their face when they accepted their gems.

Just think about it. The entire Blizzard had only 50 top-level gems in their inventory. So you can just imagine how valuable those things were.

However, WIzard Frank did not have a big smile on his face like the others. If he needed to bring those gems back, he would need to throw away his mining puppet to free up some space in his portal bag. That thing cost him a fortune.

“Wizard Daff, can you keep my mining puppet for me?” Wizard Frank turned to a rank 17 wizard.

“Wizard Frank, my portal bag is even smaller than you. Why don’t you ask the captain or vice-captain?” Wizard Daff waved his hand.

Wizard Frank helplessly shook his head. Of course, he would not ask the captain. He was late to the gathering, and he only brought that puppet along because he peaked at the detail of the mission before everyone. Maybe that’s karma.

“Wizard Abel, do you have some space?” Wizard Frank turned to Abel.

Every wizard who came to the Central Continent from a subcontinent was ultra-wealthy. Although subcontinents did not have as many training resources as the Central Continent, elite wizards were also not common.

Therefore, resources tend to get skewed towards elite wizards, so Abel must have a huge portal bag.

“Wizard Frank, what’s happening?” Abel asked as he put away his portion of gems.

Although he said they would divide the gems equally, Abel was still given 2 extra top-level gems. Intermediate and beginner gems, on the other hand, were given out to others. Abel couldn’t care less about those.

“Can you help me carry my mining puppet?” Wizard Frank asked. His voice was very soft. It seems like he was afraid of wizard Hogg hearing him.

“Frank, I have an extra portal bag. you can borrow it!” Abel said as he took out a portal bag.
