Abel had his own large-sized teleportation circle in his house, so it was very convenient for him to communicate with the outside world. Big Druil Joseph quickly sent out Abel's invitation.
In just ten minutes, Big Druil Lucia and Big Druil Lendo from the Goddess Temple appeared in the guest room of the main building.
"The prestigious Master Bennett!" Big Druil Lendo and Big Druil Lucia bowed.
"Big Druil, please have a seat!" Abel smiled and bowed back.
After the two big druids representing the elven royal family and the goddess temple had taken their seats, the servants quickly served the fruit juice and carefully retreated.
"Master Bennett, may I ask why you called us here today?" Big Druil Lendo saw that Abel invited him and Big Druil Lucia, so he knew there must be something important.
"Have you received the latest analysis from the Wizard Union?" Abel lowered his voice.
"Analysis from the Wizard Union? The royal palace did not receive any information from the Wizard Union. "Big Druil Lendo was a little surprised and replied.
"Master Bennett, the temple has received the analysis from the Wizard Union!" Big Druil Lucia gazed at Abel and slightly bowed.
She knew what Abel meant by analysis. Only the most important people in the Central Continent had access to it.
If the demon from beyond woke up, they would need the support of the Goddess of the Moon. Therefore, they had to share the information with the Goddess of the Moon as soon as possible.
She just didn't expect Abel to have such a high status in the eyes of the Wizard Union. They were willing to share such important information with him.
"Big Druil Lendo, please keep what I'm about to say a secret. I need some support from the royal palace!" Abel didn't expect the royal palace to have such a low status in the Central Continent, so he lowered his voice and said to Big Druil Lendo.
"Yes, I promise with my honor!" Big Druil Lendo said with a serious face.
"The Wizard Union sent news that the demon from beyond might wake up within a hundred years. I'm sure Big Druil Lucia knows about this too!" Abel gazed at Big Druil Lucia and said.
"Yes, this news shocked the temple. We have already reported it to the great goddess!" Big Druil Lucia nodded.
Big Druil Lendo's breathing became a little heavy. He knew the reason the Nation of God had been on the defensive. The demon from beyond had fallen asleep after casting a protection spell.
Who would have thought that the Demon from Beyond was going to awaken? Didn't that mean that a war was about to break out in the Central Continent?
"Under the witness of the goddess of the moon, I've signed an equal contract with the tree of life!" Abel continued slowly.
Although all the elves knew that he had signed a contract with the Tree of Life, they didn't know what kind of contract it was. This was the first time he had explicitly stated the type of contract.
Big Druil Lucia and Big Druil Lendo couldn't help but feel envious. The tree of life was like a second god to the elves. It was the most important spiritual sustenance other than the goddess of the moon.
They didn't expect Abel to sign an equal contract with something like this. Before this, they thought it would be a servant contract or a one-sided binding contract. They never thought it would be an equal contract. This put Abel on the same level as the tree of life.
"I received a report from the Wizard Union. The Evil Kingdom will not stop looking at the tree of life. They will do anything to wake up the demon from beyond!" Abel lowered his voice.
"Master Bennett, what do you plan to do?" Big Druil Lendo quickly asked.
"I've already ordered some sky ships from the dwarves. We can install large war machines on them to increase our power, but it will take some time to make them. I'll go to the dwarves soon and ask them to speed up!" Abel replied.
"The dwarves can make sky ships?" Big Druil Lucia gasped.
As an important member of the elves, she and Big Druil Lendo both knew what sky ships were. They also knew how difficult it was to make them. The dwarves had never been able to make one before.
"I'm not just a master potion maker. I'm also a master metallurgist!" Abel didn't hide anything.
Big Druil Lucia and Big Druil Lendo both felt a sense of helplessness. Being a master potion maker was enough for an alchemist to work hard for their whole life, but Master Bennett was also a master metallurgist.
At the same time, they also realized that the dwarves were able to make sky ships because of Master Bennett's metallurgical skills.
It wasn't hard to imagine how powerful Master Bennett's metallurgical skills were when he was a master potion maker.
If it weren't for the fact that most master metallurgists were in charge of all kinds of magic circles and were not as famous as master potion makers, Master Bennett would probably be the number one master metallurgists on the Central Continent.
"Master Bennett, the royal palace will pay for the sky ships. We can't let you pay for it!" Big Druil Lendo knew how hard it was to get a super war machine from the dwarves, let alone a sky ship. If it wasn't for Master Bennett, the elves would never have the chance to do it.
"Other than that, I invited the two of you here today to build a defense line outside the tree of life valley. I want the dwarves to design and build it, but it needs the approval of the temple and the royal palace!" Abel didn't want to talk too much about the cost. Both he and the elves were rich, so he continued.
"Master Bennett, some elves have suggested this before, but the trees outside the valley are all the children of the tree of life. Building a defense line will affect some of the trees, so we didn't do it!" Big Druil Lucia explained.
"About the trees outside the valley, I'll talk to the tree of life. We'll just move them somewhere else. We just need a place to build a defense line!" Abel thought for a moment and said.
"It's great that you can talk to the tree of life about this!" Big Druil Lucia smiled.
"It won't be a lot of work. The Evil Kingdom's attack destroyed a lot of the trees outside the valley. There's already some empty space, so it won't be a problem!" Abel added.
"Master Bennett, the cost of the defense will be covered by the royal palace. I'll go back and arrange a group of experienced elves to help the dwarves transplant the trees!" Of course, Big Druil Lendo supported this. The threat of the Nation of God made him feel very uneasy. Master Bennett had done so much for the elves, so of course the royal palace would support him.
"Big Druil Lendo, not just this. The royal palace's intelligence system needs to be strengthened. We can't let the Evil Kingdom set up a teleportation circle near Bay Law City anymore!" Big Druil Lucia said to Big Druil Lendo.
She was always complaining about the elves' intelligence system. It was because of their incompetence that the Nation of God could spend so much time setting up a giant teleportation circle outside of Bay Law City.
"We've already strengthened our intelligence system recently. We've sent in a large number of elite elves. What happened before shouldn't happen again!" Big Druil Lendo nodded.
"Big Druil Lendo, we'll work together to protect the tree of life. I'll also take out some light healing potions and mana potions for preparation!" Abel stood up and bowed.
"Master Bennett, the great goddess majesty will know everything you have done for the elves. All the elves will know!" The 2 big druids also stood up and bowed.
…
As soon as Abel and Frankenstein stepped out of the teleportation circle, they saw Bernie coming to greet them. It wasn't Wizard Hutton by his side, though. Instead, it was a dwarven law-defying wizard with a few scars on his face.
"The prestigious Master Bennett, Wizard Frankenstein, dwarf wizard Bunyan welcomes you to the Iron Furnace Fort!" Wizard Bunyan bowed.
"Wizard Bunyan, it's my honor. This is the largest forging place in the continent. It has the best forging technology!" Abel smiled and bowed back.
"Bernie, why did you come to pick me up alone? Where's your teacher?" He turned around and asked Bernie.
Today, Bernie's aura was a little different. There were waves of mana on his body. After not seeing him for a few days, he had already become a rank 1 novice wizard.
"My teacher was beaten up by Wizard Bunyan, so Wizard Bunyan is here to welcome you!" Bernie helplessly looked at the proud Wizard Bunyan and explained.
Wizard Hutton was the one who defeated the other law-defying wizards last time, which was why he got the chance to bring Bernie to his place.
"Master Bennett, this kid Bernie should follow me. He's been with Hutton for so many years!" Wizard Bunyan stepped up and patted Bernie's shoulder with a smile.
Abel and Bernie looked at each other. They were speechless.
"Wizard Bunyan, shouldn't we invite Master Bennett and Wizard Frankenstein to the palace to talk?"
Bernie reminded from the side. "Yes, yes, let's go to the top of the mountain!" The law-defying wizards realized that it was rude to receive Master Bennett in front of the teleportation circle, so they quickly made an inviting gesture.
As soon as they walked out of the teleportation circle, Abel smelled the familiar smell of smoke and heard the sound of hammer and anvil hitting each other.
The entire Iron Furnace Fort was a giant mountain. The mountain was merged with the city, and it looked like an iron furnace. This was how the Iron Furnace Fort came to be.
Wizard Bunyan knew it was his first time coming to the Iron Furnace Fort, so he did not speed up. Instead, he introduced this important dwarven city to Abel.
Since the Wizard Union ruled the central continent, there were no large-scale wars. Therefore, the dwarves' weapons were mainly high-quality. They were not like the ones in the Holy Continent, which produced large amounts of standard weapons.
This made the dwarves' forging skills a little higher than the dwarves in the Holy Continent. Almost all the weapons they produced here were magic weapons.
Of course, the dwarves' most important job was to make large war machines. Especially since the Nation of God was attacking the elves and barbarians, the dwarves had received more orders for them.
Therefore, Abel saw a busy scene in the Iron Furnace Fort. There were fires burning everywhere. It was almost like the whole city was a blacksmith shop.
Abel was amazed by the talents of the dwarves. Most of the blacksmiths here were intermediate level blacksmiths. He even saw a few master blacksmiths.
This was what he had seen on his way here. In reality, the number of Master Blacksmiths in Ironfurnace Castle was astonishing.
They walked along the stone road towards the top of the mountain. There were many stairs leading up, so there were no carriages in the city. This was why Wizard Bunyan had to walk when he came to pick Abel up.
It was just that a large number of materials went up the mountain and finished products went down the mountain. How did it go without a carriage? Abel was a little curious, but soon he saw the iron track next to the road. An iron carriage full of ores was moving up, and a dwarf sat in the front of the iron carriage and drove the iron carriage.
"This is a metal carriage from the Iron Furnace Fort. It is powered by some puppet craftsmanship and mana gems. One dwarf can carry tons of goods up and down. Our Iron Furnace Fort has tens of metal tracks, and we use these to ensure the supply of materials!" Wizard Bunyan saw Abel looking at the carriage, so he smiled and explained.
Abel couldn't help but admire the technology of the dwarves. This was almost as good as the light rail in his original world. The only difference was that the dwarves in this world had a strong body. They didn't care about the journey up and down the mountain. On top of that, the dwarves were not greedy for pleasure.
The top of the Iron Furnace Fort was filled with luxurious buildings. The most eye-catching one was the palace in the center.
Wizard Bunyan was leading the way to that palace. It was the most luxurious palace built at the top of the Iron Furnace Fort.
"Master Bennett, that's where I live!" Bernie pointed at a yard not far away.
"Your teacher is really good to you!" Abel couldn't help but smile when he saw the courtyard.
Although the yard was not big, it was located at the top of the Iron Furnace Fort. It was not something normal dwarves could afford.
Bernie came from the subcontinent and was only a rank 1 novice wizard. Without Wizard Hutton's help, there was no way he could have a place like this.
