Even a Baron, who had gained his title through battle, couldn’t have his title scrapped? This was unimaginable among nobles. You needed to be the biggest traitor in the world to deserve that.
How could a wizard who didn’t even live in the Duchy of Carmel be a traitor? How could a Grandmaster Blacksmith do such a thing? If Abel really was a traitor, he only needed to say a word, and countless head commanders and elite wizards would whip out the Duchy of Carmel.
“Abel, your magic tower is a part of the Duchy of Carmel. Do you know how many credit points you need to give the Wizard Union to build one? If you build it in Bakong City, the Duchy of Carmel will help you pay part of it, and no one will ever dare to touch your assets. Soon, they will even repay you a few times for what you’ve lost!” Wizard Morton said with his last bit of hope.
He thought that a magic tower had to be exchanged with credit points from the Wizard Union, so they didn’t come easy. If the Duchy of Carmel could pay for half of the building fee, maybe Abel would stay.
“Teacher, don’t worry, I already have enough credit points for my magic tower. After a few more days, I can even make enough to pay for my giant defense and teleportation circle. Your disciple can make credit points in no time!” Abel knew how much Wizard Morton loved Bakong City. But, since he didn’t want to go, he just said so bluntly.
“Magic towers don’t come cheap. How do you have enough? Don’t ever oversell your magic staves. This will anger the other 3 Grandmasters.” Wizard Morton had given up pressuring his disciple, but upon hearing Abel’s explanation, he had grown worried again.
“Teacher, don’t you remember? I have only made 2 magic staves. I have a business in Linate City, and it is bringing me a lot of credit points. I have more than enough. I don’t need the Duchy of Carmel to support me. I will still be in the Duchy of Carmel. I just want to go home!” Said Abel with a smile.
“It’s better to build your magic tower away from your family. Mana can hurt ordinary people!” By this point, Wizard Morton had gotten even more worried. He seemed to forget all about persuading Abel to build his magic tower in Bakong City.
“I’m friends with the elves, and I want them to make a mana isolation circle for me. This way, my magic tower can be built directly in the middle of my castle. I always dreamed about having my magic tower as the highest building in my castle. This way, every day, I walk out, I can see my family!” Abel was very good with the elves. Even if he didn’t go through Angstrom City and Grand Duke Edwina, he could still get any magic circle he wanted from the Alchemy Union.
“Since that’s what you want, go for it. We all have teleportation circles anyway!” Wizard Morton said helplessly. As long as Abel would still be in the Duchy of Carmel, that was fine with him.
Suddenly Wizard Yveline spoke up, “Abel, can you also save a space for me? I want to build a new magic tower after I level up. My original one will still be in Bakong City, but I want to build a new one in Harvest City!”
“Yveline, stop playing around. The Duchy of Carmel needs our guardians!” Said Wizard Morton twitching at his old friend.
“There’s still some time until my next level up. The credit points I saved up the past 10 years are probably enough for me to build a new magic tower. I can still guard the Duchy of Carmel even if I’m Harvest City!” Said Wizard Yveline with a serious look. He had only healed his body because of Abel, and he knew Abel could definitely use a hand in Harvest City. He would definitely need to repay this huge favor. Although he didn’t say much, he was extremely thankful in his heart.
“Wizard Yveline, if you really want to come, I will give you a magic tower as a gift. 7 stories with teleportation circle!” Abel smiled. An extra wizard meant fewer worries for him. It was also helpful for his training and lifestyle.
“Did you hear that, Morton? Your disciple is a generous guy!” Said Wizard Yveline patting Wizard Morton in the shoulder with a big laugh.
“Abel, I know you have credit points, but don’t waste it like that!” Said Wizard Morton with a frown.
“Teacher, we’re are all friends here. I’ll just be straight forward. My business in Linate City can bring me ten to twenty thousand credit points every day, so don’t worry!” Said Abel looking at the 3 wizards. He trusted them, and his income wasn’t too much of a secret in Linate City anyway.
The first thing Wizard Morton thought of when he heard about Abel’s income was not himself, but his first disciple, Wizard William, who was on the battlefield. He cared about him just as much.
“William will be from Miracle City in a few days. Maybe you can help him out a bit. That guy was quite a big spender, and I’m afraid he won’t have many credit points left after being away for 2 years!”
Every Duchy needed to send a Wizard to help guard the Miracle City, and Wizard William just happened to be the one. Miracle City was located on the border between the orcs and humans, so guarding that place maintained human safety.
The 3 years contract was going to expire soon, and Wizard Morton knew Abel’s personality, so he just asked bluntly.
“Teacher, I will buy Wizard William an entire magic tower the moment he comes back. How about that?” Looking at the current rate Abel was gaining credit points, he should accumulate a scary amount of it in a few months. By that point, a magic tower would be like nothing to him.
“With William’s personality, he will definitely not let you pay for an entire magic tower. You will need to waste a lot of effort just to even pay half of it for him!” Wizard Morton said helplessly.
“Teacher, if you want, I can also prepare a spot for you next to my magic tower. A brand new 12 story magic tower with teleportation, a new tower spirit, as well as an intermediate mana gathering circle!” Abel really wanted to be close to his teacher in Harry Castle as well and form a magic tower group that belonged to him. If he had enough official wizards, maybe he could also get a giant protection circle like Linate City.
A simple six-star circle still needed six magic towers, as well as a main magic tower in the middle to be formed. That was 7 magic towers, 7 wizards.
Of course, Abel could get as much Wizard to Harvest City as he wanted as long as he asked. However, he only wanted the wizards he trusted.
“Abel, let’s discuss this later!” Wizard Morton did not agree, but he didn’t decline the offer as well. He knew the Duchy of Carmel had already hurt the feeling of this disciple of his. If he stopped strengthening their relationship, maybe Abel would even lose his last bit of feeling for the Duchy of Carmel. At that point, the Duchy of Carmel would lose a Grandmaster Blacksmith.
Under the vivid illumination of the living room, white shimmers were scattered by the diamond crystal of the crystal light, casting upon the gorgeous paintings on the wall like little stars.
An illumination circle also cast light from below the human god of wall statue in the fountain in front of the gate. The fountain of water danced up like a stream of neon light and then fell back down again.
The light poles of Fulu Road lit up. And a few bright-looking servants were already standing up front, waiting to bow to any guests who were about to arrive.
Abel could not personally greet his guests with his current status. His stewards would do that. Steward Edwon was also standing in front of the gate, waiting for guests.
Abel, Wizard Morton, Wizard Yveline, and Wizard Murphy were already in the living room. They talked about the fun things of their past as they waited.
After learning for 3 days, the chefs had already begun to master the 5 dishes. They were extremely busy, and a mouth-watering smell emerged from the kitchen.
