The Wizard Union arrived quickly. Before the advanced wizard finished his promotion, the wizards from the Wizard Union had already arrived. There were 2 law-defying wizards. One of them was Wizard Clemens, who Abel invited last time, and the other was the head of the Wizard Union's law enforcement department, Wizard Joseph.
It didn't matter if it was related to Wizard Durmond or Master Bennett. It was not something normal law enforcers could handle.
Because of this, the two leaders of the Wizard Union came to the golden castle together to deal with this.
"Master Bennett, I'm sorry. Our wizards have caused you trouble!" Wizard Clemens immediately apologized to Abel as soon as he arrived.
Wizard Joseph also felt sorry. Not long ago, he brought a junior to the golden castle for a meal, and that junior leveled up successfully.
From this point of view, he owed Master Bennett a favor. Who would've thought a law-defying wizard from the Wizard Union would dare to do something like this in the golden castle?
He then turned to WIzard Durmond, who was being carried by Frankenstein. His mouth twitched. WIzard Durmond was in a terrible state. His arms were bent at a weird angle.
Although he couldn't see any other injuries, the dark red blood coming out of Wizard Durmond's mouth was enough to tell that his internal injuries were not light.
"Wizard Clemens, Wizard Joseph, I've paid a huge price for this castle. I've opened the castle and the restaurant for everyone to see the legendary light, but Wizard Durmond wants to use spells in the castle. He's trying to destroy my castle!" Of course, Abel needed to express his anger. He needed the Wizard Union to do their best to handle this matter.
"Master Bennett, can you put down WIzard Durmond first and let WIzard Joseph take care of him? We can talk about the rest later!" WIzard Clemens looked at the miserable state WIzard Durmond was in and said.
No matter what, WIzard Durmond was still a wizard of the Wizard Union. He couldn't let Frankenstein carry him like this. Not only would WIzard Durmond lose face, but the Wizard Union would also lose face.
If it was someone else, he would've done something already, but it was Master Bennett. He could only try to persuade him.
"Wizard Clemens, I believe the Wizard Union will take care of this!" Abel nodded and made a hand gesture to Frankenstein.
Frankenstein threw WIzard Durmond to Wizard Joseph and stood behind Abel.
Wizard Joseph took out a bottle of light healing potion from his portal bag and poured it into WIzard Durmond's mouth. WIzard Durmond's injuries quickly recovered.
WIzard Durmond looked at Abel with hatred, which made Abel very uncomfortable.
WIzard Clemens couldn't help but glance at Wizard Joseph. He didn't expect WIzard Joseph to use Master Bennett's potion to save WIzard Durmond in front of Master Bennett.
He was not happy with Wizard Durmond's behavior. Wizard Durmond was taking advantage of someone else's territory. No matter what, it was not a good thing to do, and he was still angry with Master Bennett.
However, he was the head of the investigation department, and this was the law enforcement department's business. He could only let WIzard Joseph handle this.
WIzard Joseph was also very conflicted. He had a deep relationship with WIzard Durmond, so he was trying to think of a way to minimize this.
"Master Bennett, I want WIzard Durmond to compensate you for his actions. I will punish him with 10 years of worship as a warning to others!" He bowed to Abel.
Abel's face froze. 10 years of worship? Was that enough for a rank 24 wizard?
He thought this kind of thing would be locked up for a few years or forced to complete some kind of mission. WIzard Joseph didn't even need an apology from WIzard Durmond.
"Wizard Joseph, if that's what you want to do, then you can do whatever you want!" Abel lowered his voice and gazed at the people in the restaurant. He then continued, "since opening the castle has brought me a lot of inconvenience, from today onwards, the golden castle will no longer be open!"
WIzard Joseph's face dropped. The continuous leveling up incidents had shaken the entire central continent. Many powerful figures were hoping that their descendants could enjoy the leveling up benefits from the golden castle.
If the golden castle was closed because of WIzard Durmond's spell, many powerful figures in the central continent would hold a grudge against WIzard Durmond.
At the same time, many law-defying wizards from the Wizard Union were queuing up in front of the golden castle.
Master Bennett was not happy with the way he handled this, and his status in the Wizard Union would be affected.
"Master Bennett, if you are not happy with the way WIzard Durmond was handled, we can discuss it!" WIzard Joseph quickly added.
"WIzard Joseph, I think you've got it all wrong. How you handle WIzard Durmond has nothing to do with me!" Abel lowered his voice and turned to steward Myer, "I'm going to retreat. From now on, the golden castle will no longer be open to any unrelated people!"
WIzard Joseph's face tightened. Abel was not giving him any face, but he still wanted to save some face.
He really didn't want to offend Abel. He thought since Wizard Durmond had been beaten up so badly, Abel should have calmed down a little and given some compensation, and everything would be over.
However, what he didn't know was that if the golden castle's magic circle was not fast enough, Abel, steward Myer, and the other two half-elves would have been crushed to death.
"Master Bennett, how about this? I'll ask WIzard Durmond to take out 50,000 intermediate gems as compensation!" WIzard Joseph clenched his teeth and bowed.
"WIzard Joseph, you don't have to do this. I'll see what he can do to me!" WIzard Durmond, who had recovered, said coldly.
WIzard Durmond thought. He had lost a lot of face today, and the two leaders of the Wizard Union were here. Abel wouldn't do anything to him, even if he had to say a few harsh words.
Although he could afford to take out 50,000 intermediate gemstones, it would take a huge toll on his vitality.
WIzard Joseph almost wanted to kill WIzard Durmond himself. If he could offend Master Bennett so easily, he would not be begging him like this.
"Wizard Clemens, I won't entertain you today. I'm going to retreat!" Abel bowed to WIzard Clemens and turned to steward Myer, "Send the guest out!"
Afterward, he was teleported away by the magic circle spirit, and the restaurant became silent.
At that moment, that elite wizard's promotion was over, and WIzard Joshua quickly left with his disciples. The other law-defying wizards also left with their disciples.
WIzard Durmond looked at Abel in shock. He thought Abel would say something to him, but he just left without saying anything.
However, when he turned to WIzard Joseph and WIzard Clemens, he realized they were not looking good. Even his disciple looked troubled.
"Masters, the golden castle is about to close. Please go ahead!" Steward Myer bowed and said politely.
WIzard Clemens did not say anything and turned to leave. He regretted coming here today, but judging from Master Bennett's attitude, he didn't seem to hate him.
"Let's go!" WIzard Joseph was furious. He glared at WIzard Durmond and lowered his voice.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Wizard Union headquarter was to ask WIzard Durmond's disciple to stay. He didn't want to know what happened from WIzard Durmond.
When he realized that Wizard Durmond was in the dining hall with Master Bennett's steward and servants, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
He finally understood why Master Bennett was so angry. If the golden castle didn't have an automatic protection circle, Wizard Durmond would have killed Master Bennett's steward and servant in his castle.
It didn't matter if WIzard Durmond killed the steward and servant, his actions were already a provocation to Master Bennett.
A steward was an extremely important existence to any noble. They were responsible for managing their master's daily life for many years. Basically, they were the master's important assistants.
Master Bennett was already giving the Wizard Union a lot of respect by not killing WIzard Durmond on the spot.
"Contact Master Bennett for me!" He said to his men.
A wizard from the law enforcement department quickly operated the communication circle, but soon, he turned to WIzard Joseph.
"Mr. Joseph, the connection was rejected!" The wizard reported.
"What?" WIzard Joseph realized the severity of the situation. He was one of the 7 leaders of the Wizard Union, and each of them was in charge of different departments. Therefore, they all had the right to contact Master Bennett directly.
It didn't matter if it was Master Bennett directly rejecting him or removing him from the contact list. It was a sign that Master Bennett had completely lost his friendship with him.
WIzard Durmond returned to his place with a gloomy face. Since he was in retreat for a long time, he still needed to meet up with some old friends.
Although he was heavily injured in the golden castle, his body was fine now. He still needed to attend the gathering tonight.
He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that what happened today was not over yet.
In his mind, he had already paid enough. He even gave WIzard Joseph the 50,000 intermediate gemstones, so Master Bennett should be able to let it go.
Today, he finally realized how scary Master Bennett was. From what WIzard Joseph and his disciples said, he knew how much influence Master Bennett had on the Central Continent.
Regret began to rise in his heart. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have done what he did.
As a matter of fact, he had a lot of resentment. What he did today was affected by his retreat, and his emotions were a little out of control.
Normally, even if it was an ordinary potion master, he would not cast a spell in their home.
The gathering was at night, and his steward and servants were already busy.
"Master, WIzard Muller sent a message saying that he won't be able to come today. Please forgive him!" WIzard Durmond was lost in his thoughts, and his steward came up to him and bowed.
WIzard Durmond was stunned. He had asked his steward to send out an invitation to WIzard Muller after his retreat, and he had received a reply saying that he would definitely come.
But he didn't think too much about it. As a law-defying wizard of the Wizard Union, it was normal for him to be affected by a sudden mission.
However, the 8 law-defying wizards who were supposed to attend the gathering all sent a message saying that they wouldn't be able to come.
WIzard Durmond suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that Master Bennett had made a move?
Maybe he overestimated himself. Abel didn't say anything to anyone. The only thing he could do was take this opportunity and shut down the golden castle.
Originally, he didn't want to offend too many friendly organizations, so he opened the golden castle to the public after learning that his dishes could affect a person's level up.
Although this gave him some income, it was nothing to him. All he needed to do was sell a few more potions, and he would have enough to keep the golden castle open for a long time.
With WIzard Durmond's actions as an excuse, he had enough reason to shut down the golden castle. As for the pressure, it was all on WIzard Durmond.
