Chapter 1266: Exchange
Under the lead of King Gunther, Abel arrived a the dwarves’ palace with the elites of the dwarves.
There were two teams of dwarves blowing on their welcoming horns as they walked in the streets.
It was the respect of the powerful, and the dwarves have done that perfectly.
They were always under the protection of the Wizard Union. But even there were dwarves learning wizardry. Their skills still lie within their forgeries and fortress defense.
King Gunther took a seat on the throne, but there was an extra seat next to him. It was for Abel.
After a moment of awkward silence, Abel took a seat as all the other dwarves remained standing.
“Blue dragon Abel, so what brings you here today?” King Gunther smiled and bowed.
“Majesty, I’m here to see my friend and negotiate with the nobles about processing ores!” Abel said bluntly.
“Processing ores is what us dwarves are good at. We will do it for free! But I’m just wondering who’s your friend in the dwarves?” King Gunther didn’t care about ores. The dwarves had the best blacksmiths, but he didn’t want to miss the chance to form a good relationship with a dragon.
“Majesty, his name is Bernie Goff. Unfortunately, I have a lot of ores to process, so it is still best to negotiate first!”
“Blue Dragon Abel, are you talking about my disciple Bernie?” Wizard Hutton suddenly gasped.
He was not expecting this at all.
“Yeah, can I see him?” Abel smiled.
“Of course, I’ll bring him here immediately!” WIzard Hutton bowed and immediately disappeared in a flash.
“Blue dragon Abel, please excuse us. Hutton is just desperate like this!” King Gunther bowed.
“That’s why I love the dwarves, you guys really are honest!” Abel smiled.
“Haha, then we are friends!” King Gunther laughed.
“Abel, why are you here?” 2 lights flashed and Bernie appeared next to Wizard Hutton. But he was just stunned that Abel was sitting next to King Gunther.
“Bernie, Blue Dragon Abel is a legend. Please mind your manners!” Wizard Hutton quickly warned.
He was just afraid that Bernie would anger Abel. After all, no one in this place could stop a legendary blue dragon.
“Bernie, long time no see. Congratulations for becoming an official Wizard!” Abel smiled.
He could sense the rank 6 wizard pattern within Bernie, but Bernie was speechless. Abel had always appeared as elf Bennett in the central continent, so no one knew what he looked like in human form.
This time Abel was identified as a blue dragon, but Bernie knew Abel was a human.
He knew Abel ever since he was a weakling; a wizard forced out of his home.
“Abel, did you get hurt?” Bernie suddenly asked.
As far as he knew, grandmaster Bennett had fought with a rank 28 wizard not long ago, and he had never heard about the name Bennett again until recently when the elves started to get more potions again.
“I’m great, I’ll tell you more later but now I need to talk some business with King Gunther!” Abel smiled in confidence.
Wizard Hutton immediately knew Bernie and Abel were close just by listening to them, so he couldn’t help but feel excitement emerging from within.
His disciple was great friends with Grandmaster Bennett. Now it was Blue Dragon Abel.
“Blue Dragon Abel, about the ores. We dwarves will gladly process it for you. But really, free of charge!” King Gunther was also very happy, as he added.
“Majesty, I’ve gotten half of the ores from the front line. I want them all turned into metallurgy materials. If you don’t charge me, I’m afraid we can no longer trade fairly in the future!” Abel did not hold back and smiled as well.
“But how are you going to pay?” King Gunther was stunned by the work they were about to do.
It would have taken years even if all the blacksmiths in the dwarves had gotten involved.
“This wine!” Abel took out a bottle and handed it forward ” it can help the wizard dwarves’ meditation. It is a good training resource!”
King Gunther opened the lid, and an intoxicating smell immediately traveled through the palace.
King Gunther was a wizard, but he did not take a sip. Instead, he gently tapped the bottle and transferred a drop into his mouth with his power of the will.
Suddenly, his soul began to cheer, and his sensitivity towards the mana around him drastically increased. If he were to meditate right now, it would be better.
“Huh, is this Grandmaster Bennett’s Grandmaster wine? Wizard Hutton sensed a familiar smell and gasped.
All the wizards in the hall also recognized this smell.
It also tasted the same, but its effect on the soul was much greater.
“Blue Dragon Abel, you know Grandmaster Bennett?” King Gunther asked.
“Majesty, that’s not something you need to know, but I can supply a large amount of wine in exchange. Just give me a number!” Abel smiled.
“Blue Dragon Abel, then us dwarves won’t hold back!” King Gunther said he got a great deal.
Ever since Grandmaster Abel disappeared, the dwarves could no longer try his wine, let alone one that was beneficial to training.
This blue dragon seemed even more generous than Grandmaster Bennett.
In the past, Abel just didn’t want to expose his power too much for security reasons, but he no longer had to as a blue dragon.
“Majesty, let’s find a place and I’ll let out the ores!” Abel recalled as he saw King Gunther getting carried away.
“Of course, follow me!” King Gunther quickly waved.
Wizard Hutton and Bernie followed while the other wizards stayed in the hall.
They then arrived at giant inventory within the Furnace fortress. It was where the most valuable ores were stored.
majesty, this place is not going to fit!” Abel scanned the number of ores he had and said.
“Don’t worry. We have more inventories at the back.
Abel began to let his ores out, and soon, 10 inventories were filled up.
King Gunter let out a long breath. Almost every single space he had underground was filled up.
“Blue Dragon Abel, take a rest. I’ll call someone in to count the ores and negotiate the wine we will take!” King Gunther was almost speechless.
“Majesty, I’ll go with Bernie. Let me know when you are ready!” Abel bowed.
Wizard Hutton was also stunned. He was expecting the ores to take up one inventory art most. He never went into the front line, and he never saw so many valuable ores at once.
“Bernie, let’s go!” Abel padded Bernie’s back and said.
Bernie was only a rank 6 wizard, but he already had a mansion in the Furnace Fortress. Which even Elite Wizards didn’t have, and it was all thanks to Abel’s name.
“Not bad, but Bernie, you are progressing too slow!” Abel looked around and lowered his voice.
“Yeah, of course it is nothing compared to you. You are already a legend, but how did you become a blue dragon ?” Bernie asked curiously.
“Easy, once your dragon blood reaches a level of concentration, you will be automatically recognised by the dragons!” Abel smiled.
“You call that easy?’ Bernie was speechless. He knew dragon blood was the most powerful thing in this world. Just a tiny bit was enough for a person to be recognized as a pseudodragon.
To become a giant dragon, the blood needed to be more extremely concentrated. How was that easy?
But in reality, it was easy for Abel. At least he never tried that hard to become a dragon. All he did was merge with a Blue Dragon’s crystal.
Of course, this process only had a 10 percent survival rate, and Abel just got lucky.
“Bernie, so you are an official wizard. I didn’t have much time prepare but here’s a gift!” Abel took out a magic circle board and handed it forward.
“This is a.. Giant mana gather circle?” Bernie was stunned.
Although there were many giant mana gathering circles in the dwarves, they were all used exclusively in training grounds. Even the disciple of a law defying wizard like Bernie only had access to an intermediate mana gathering circle.
Most importantly, what Abel gave him was a circle board. It could be carried around portably.
Just the materials to make that thing were a few times more valuable, let alone it required extremely high levels of skills.
Since Abel was bringing one to the Dark World, of course, he would have the best.
Ever since he got the magic circle spirit, he no longer needed a magic circle maker to draw circles.
All he needed was to provide the materials, and that was how Bernie had ended up with something so amazing.
“Also take these. You rarely battle but the super healing potions and mana potions are good life savers!” Abel then took out a portal bag.
“Abel, I’m a businessman, have you seen a businessman fight?” Bernie laughed, but he still took the bag.
The two then sat in the yard and talked about the Holy Continents while drinking a glass of juice. After a few hours, Wizard Hutton connected with Abel. The ores were calculated.
Abel did not even take a look at the details. He trusted the dwarves. In fact, the number they asked for was much lower than what he expected!
