On May 23rd, 9 P.M.
At that moment, Abium stood in his room and gazed at the night star through the window with a void of emotion.
'What happened to you, kid?' Azolla asked in his mind.
'I felt danger when I activated the [Seer's Intuition] spell in the reception hall earlier, Azolla. I can tell that the one who supports this Baron Harry is dangerous.' He said with a bitter smile on his face. Even though he became an official mage and became much more powerful than in his previous life, he didn't feel any happiness.
'I'm still weak.'
'Do you have a guess about the culprit behind this action?' Azolla asked with a curious tone.
'I don't know. Maybe Necromancers? That possibility is very high. Also, I can't rule out the possibility of the enemy being Light church's followers.' Abium said with a frown.
'Moreover, I also spoiled their plan at Bare Keep Town, and that Holy Maiden might still hold some grudge against me.' He started to feel urgency from his heart. 'An omen? Or is it due to fear? Haa! I must construct a first-tier spell model quickly.' He suddenly thought of checking the spirit power and said in his mind.
'Status.'

...
'Azolla, can you tell me which spell is most suitable for me in the current situation?' Abium glanced at the blue screen and asked.
'Hmm, you now need attack power. Choose the Red orb's corresponding spell Fireball.' Azolla suggested.
He also thought constructing the fireball spell was the right choice and nodded his head.
'Before that, I need some rest.' He mumbled.
After that, he lay on the wooden bed quietly and fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, Amaryllis town.
Abium woke up by the sudden knock from outside and soon opened the wooden door.
A second later, he noticed a girl with long green hair and round purple eyes standing in front of his room and waving her hand at him with a smile. She was none other than Camilla. She stood there in her transformed human form and wore a dazzling pink dress that almost covered her toes.
"What happened?" Abium asked while yawning.
"Helena asked me-." Before she could finish her sentence, she froze with a confused face and shrunken into her original form. After that, she flew back to his right side and tilted her head in confusion.
Then, she started to scratch her tiny head and appeared more clueless.
'Did she forget? Tsk, is this some kind of disease or racial trait?' Abium suddenly thought of Camilla's strange behavior and silently shook his head.
'I don't have time to research her history and racial abilities. Ha, I should inform others that I will be busy for the next few days and start constructing the fire spell model.' He thought to himself and went downstairs.
Within an hour, he freshened up and had breakfast. After that, he went to Helena's room and informed her about his plan before returning to his room.
He also told others not to disturb him for the next few days.
'I don't know how long it will take to construct this first tier spell model. But it's better to hurry up.' He thought inwardly.
As for the Adventurers' Guild officers still staying in Moondale, he didn't think much about that problem. He knew they would have already heard the news about Baron Harry's schemes and might come independently. Baron may try to create problems for Abium, but he wouldn't do that to the Adventurers' guild members.
Once Abium arranged everything, he sat on the floor next to his bed and took out the First-Tier spellbook from his space ring.
It was filled with hundreds of first-tier spell models!
He searched the book for the next few minutes and finally found the fireball spell model inscribed on the 53rd page.
He carefully sent his spirit power towards the spell model and carefully analyzed it.
But his face soon stiffened as he saw the number of rune characters inscribed in the spell model.
'Damn! 200 runic words? For real?' He almost shouted in shock. A second later, he calmed down and started constructing the fireball spell model in his mind.
He began to inscribe the rune characters patiently and felt like time seemed to be moving like a tortoise. On the outside, the sun went down, and night came. But Abium stayed in the same position as a statue and continued constructing the fireball spell model. The time went on like one day, two days, three days, and so on. Finally, on the fifth night, his finger began showing movement.
In the next second, a surge of fire elements started to gather inside his room from nearby surroundings. No! The whole town felt a warm feeling from the mansion, and everyone in the Amara town woke up due to the unnatural phenomenon.
At that moment, everyone saw a bright light from the three-storied house, illuminating the whole town!
Inside Abium's room, a dense amount of fire-elemental energy rushed towards his body and started to surround him like bees. All the fire-elemental energies merged into his body in a few seconds, leaving the town in darkness.
At that moment, Abium saw a reddish hexagonal star shining in his mind and soon returned to its dormant state. Unlike other spell models, this one appeared ten times bigger and looked like a mini sun!
After checking the newly constructed spell model, he opened his eyes slowly and frowned as he felt the chilling wind touch his body.
'Why am I standing naked? Did my dress get burned due to the fire elemental energy?' He was startled a bit and soon breathed a sigh of relief as he noticed he was alone in his room.
After that, he snapped his finger like a mysterious trickster. A small red flame appeared at the tip of his fingertip while illuminating his room and soon vanished with a poof!
'Oh? I didn't expect my control over the fire element would increase to this level! I can feel the deeper connection between fire and my soul.' He nodded brightly and quickly took out a dress from his spatial ring. After he had changed his clothing, he walked out of his room and informed everyone that everything was okay.
Then, he went to the kitchen, ate charcoal steak, drank some red wine, and returned to his room. After that, he closed his eyes and activated the [Seer's Intuition] spell while thinking about the danger in Moondale town.
He would never forgive the Baron's family members for what they did to Edward and others.
'Claude and others are under my protection. I need to let others know what will happen if someone messes with my men.' He muttered coldly.
But to his surprise, no danger appeared in his mind this time, which left him baffled.
'Does that mean the one who protected Baron Harry already left? Or the possibility of success increased once I constructed this fire spell?' A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
'But I can't make any rash decisions. I know that Novak's family is hiding something.' He again cast that seer's intuition, but the result was the same.
He soon shook his head and noticed his eyes burning due to lack of sleep.
Abium heaved a deep sigh and lay on the bed to take some rest.
…
June 1st, Sunday morning.
Abium sat on the wooden chair in the reception room and heard the reports from Kuran.
"Official guild members had already arrived a few days ago, lad. Like we had expected, Baron didn't cause them any trouble during the trip. But if the commoners and adventurers want to come to our territory, he will definitely create more trouble. Before another big incident happens, we must solve the problem with Baron Harry as soon as possible." Kuran spoke solemnly.
Meanwhile, others seated on the wooden chairs nodded and expressed their thoughts.
While discussing, Kuran suddenly remembered something and began searching his leather bag.
"They gave this letter to us."
Kuran said while taking out a sealed letter with a royal symbol painted on it and giving it to Abium. Abium swiftly reached out his hand, took the letter from Kuran, and unsealed it.
It was an official invitation letter to all the nobles for the Grand Nobles Gathering!
Crown Prince Huggin requested every noble to attend the Upcoming Grand Nobles' Gathering on June 28th!
Abium's expression stiffened up when he read the contents.
'As expected, that hooded guy has the power to even manipulate the crown prince… Moreover, there is no mention of the coronation ceremony in the letter. Haa! I can't sit back and watch someone manipulating the whole incident.' His expression grew solemn as he further read the content.
Abium didn't even listen to Kuran's next words and thought of what to do next.
After pondering for a moment, he calmed down while nodding his head and shifted his gaze towards Helena, who sat on his left side.
Then, he took a silver ring from his pocket and passed it to her.
At that moment, Kuran also noticed his odd behavior and stopped talking.
"Helena, take this ring. It's a low tier artifact I created a few days ago. Once you activate this ring, you would be able to cast a 'mirage' spell and can change your appearance at your own will." Abium said calmly and also passed the invitation letter to her.
