Chapter 1392 Discovered
Bernie slowly regained his consciousness, and the first thing he saw was Wizard Jellal and a human wizard he didn’t know.
In front of him was a teleportation circle. He shook his head, trying to get his dizziness out, but he soon remembered what had just happened.
“Mr Hardy, now the job is complete, what should we do with Bernie?” Wizard Jellal bowed.
Since Bernie knew about his true identity, he didn’t want Bernie to live.
“Keep him for now, we will deal with it later once we capture Abel!” Wizard Hardy gazed at Bernie and lowered his voice.
He was clear on one thing. If he killed Bernie before they successfully captured Abel, he would automatically become Abel’s worst enemy. But if Bernie was in his hand, he might be able to blackmail Abel.
“What did you guys do?” Bernie yelled. He couldn’t remember anything he did on the hypnosis potion, but he knew something was up.
“Bernie, thanks for helping us invite Headmaster Abel to your rank 7 celebration!” Wizard Hardy lowered his voice.
“No, no way!” Bernie jumped and roared, but the Wizard quickly pressed him down again.

The energy pressing on him was heavy, but he did not stop struggling. Blood began to spill out from all the holes on his face, yet he still madly moved his body. Finally, Wizard Hardy increased his power of the will and knocked him out again. “Seems like the dwarves are still a loyal bunch!” Wizard Hardy added, which made Wizard Jallel a little embarrassed,
But Wizard Hardy did not care. He reconnected with the communication circle and connected with the wizard union headquarters.
He was only a little tool in this operation. The true players were the god rank wizards, and soon, 9 god rank wizards all were gathered at Bernie’s house through the teleportation circle. Which was all the god ranks the wizard union had besides the one on duty in the Howling Castle.
Wizard Fara was also in retreat on top of the Furnace Fort to master his new gain ability. Since he owed Abel a big favor yet there was not much he could do, he decided to check up on Bernie from time to time with his power of will.
However, on that day, he did not sense a single bit of life force in Bernie’s place. Bernie should be out of retreat by this time, according to his daily schedule.
Even if Bernie was in his bedroom, there should be some life force. When his power of the will scanned the yard, he immediately knew something was up.
There was a barrier circle. Since he leveled up, his senses have grown, and he gained the ability to differentiate different types of barrier circles. The one ignited in Bernie’s yard was far greater than the ones used by top rank wizard dwarves.
Although Bernie had a lot of resources from Abel, it was still unnecessary to use something like that, and he knew Bernie would not waste Abel’s resources.
What was happening? Wizard Jellal slowly grew worried.
Without hesitation, he flashed towards the royal palace.
If Bernie was not such a good friend with Abel, he would not bother King Dunba about something so trivial.
“King Dunham I want to ask the furnace spirit something!” He found King Dunba and bowed,
SO
The furnace fort was a mountain but also the Dwarves base. It looked normal on the surface, but it was the accumulation of the dwarves’ technology throughout their countless years of history.
There were countless triggers in preparation for battles, but not many people actually knew about them.
The main controller of the Furnace fort was the Furnace fort spirit.
“What happened?” King Dunba asked in a strange tone. The Furnace spirit was top secret, and Wizard Fara only gained access to it since he became a legend.
After all, the idea of a spirit monitoring the lives of everyone was too hard to swallow.
“King Dunba, something strange is happening in Bernie’s place and I want to know who came in or out!” Wizard Fara asked softly.
The dwarves’ Royal palace had its own barrier circle, so the god rank wizards did not notice the conversation between Wizard Fara and King Dunba.
Otherwise, he and King Dunba might be locked up already.
“Follow me!” King Dunba gazed into Wizard Fara’s eyes and lowered his voice.
He knew very well what was going through Wizard Fara’s mind. Although the dwarves could no longer be associated with Abel too much as a part of the wizard union, Abel still did a great favor for Wizard Fara, and he wanted to repay him.
Also, it was Wizard Fara’s first request since he became a legend. How could he reject it?
Even if Wizard Fara was wrong, it wouldn’t hurt to satisfy his curiosity.
They arrived at the first floor of the royal palace and entered a meeting room filled with magic patterns. Only king Dunba knew exactly where the Furnace spirit was, but it could replay from all directions.
“Fara, just ask!” Kin Dunba stepped aside.
“Furnace spirit, I want to see who entered Bernie’s place!” Wizard Fara bowed at a wall and asked.
Soon, images began to emerge on the wall. First, there was the silhouette of a dwarf flashing into Bernie’s place, taking out a magic circle board, and the place was filled with fog.
“It is Wizard Jallel!” Wizard Fara felt his heart drop as he recognized the movements. But what could he be doing to Bernie?
“No way, I have to go safe Bernie!” The projection showed that Bernie could be in danger at any time, so he immediately began to turn.
“Fara, wait up!” King Dunba stopped him with a serious face.
“Majesty, Abel did me a great favour so I have to help Bernie. I don’t know what Wizard Jellal is doing but Bernie’s life might be in danger!” Wizard Fara said desperately. “Do you know Wizard Jellal’s true identity?” King Dunba lowered his voice.
“His true identity?” Wizard Fara realized king Dunba sounded different.
“He is a spy put in by the wizard union to monitor the dwarves’ every move!” King Dunba smiles awkwardly.
“What? Why do you still keep him around?” Wizard Fara was stunned.
“So what if I do, the wizard union can easily make another spy. Also, it will be easier for us to deal with if we know who the spy is!” King Dunba lowered his voice.
After all, he did have control over the furnace spirit, so he knew exactly what every dwarf was doing
In fact, he had a detailed list of every spy the wizard union put in the Furnace fort.
It was just that there was no point in getting rid of them.
That would just make the wizard union more suspicious, and it might even put the Furnace spirit in danger. Wizard Jellal always thought he was doing something very mysterious, but he was actually monitored by King Dunba since he started to receive extra resources from the wizard union.
Therefore, what the dwarf lacked all along was not talent but resources.
“Majesty, just pretend you don’t know, I have to go save Bernie!” Wizard Fara bowed.
“Fara, don’t you understand?” King Dunba said helplessly.
Wizard Fara was confused. He spent his life in training, so he was ignorant compared to King Dunba when it came to conflicts.
“Who do you think Bernie is? Him alone doesn’t have any value. Wizard Jellal on the other hand is the most powerful spy the wizard union has on us, do you think they will make a move just for Bernie?” King Dunba explained helplessly.
“You are saying they want to go after headmaster Abel?” Wizard Fara was so stunned he almost couldn’t make a sound.
“So you can’t save him. The wizard union has to send out god ranks to go against headmaster Abel. We don’t know how many there are in that barrier circle but it will definitely be more than a few!” King Dunba lowered his voice.
“I will call headmaster Abel immediately!” Wizard Fara said without hesitation. “Ok, but be very careful. It is best if you go through the goddess temple’s teleportation circle and don’t put the dwarves in danger!” King Dunba nodded.
Although he knew the wizard union might have a way to find eventually, no matter what they did, it was their debt to Abel.
“Understood!” Wizard Fara bowed.
“Also don’t use the public teleportation circle, use this!” King Dunba waved, and a door opened from the side.
Inside was the royal palace’s private teleportation circle. It was black listed on the wizard union network, and the dwarves did a lot to make it.
This black listed had no address, no record, even the account it used was anonymous.
Considering how many teleportation circles there were, a thing like this was very hard to track down.
Even if they were noticed, the dwarves created hundreds of other false teleportation data to mislead the wizard union.
It was their final bit of freedom from the wizard union.
But no matter what, interfering with the wizard union’s plan to kill Abel was a great sin, and both Wizard Fara and King Dunba did not say too much about it.
Wizard Fara stood on the teleportation circle and sent out a request to the goddess temple.
Soon, Wizard Fara disappeared in a flash.
“Let’s hope everything goes smoothly. Even if the dwarves rely on the wizard union, we can not harm our friends!” King Dunba mumbled in determination.
