While the Blacksmith's Guild headquarter was having a Blacksmith Master Gathering in Kitchener City, Prince Liandre George was receiving 2 red-cloaked wizards in the palace of the Duchy of Carmel. They were intermediate wizards from the Kingdom of Saint Ellis Wizard Union.
"Your Majesty, I am Wizard Drayton, and this is Wizard Manfred. We are here to deliver the Wizard Union's decision. You must remove all of Abel's noble titles and take back his territory!" Wizard Drayton said in an arrogant tone. He was wearing a red robe.
"Sir Wizard, as you know, I don't have the right to revoke a noble's title and territory unless he has committed a great crime of treason!" Prince Liandre George said with a troubled expression.
Prince Liandre George knew Abel's identity very well. Although he couldn't mess with these 2 wizards from the Wizard Union, he couldn't mess with Wizard Moreton. Wizard Moreton was the number one wizard in the kingdom and Abel's teacher. If Wizard Moreton got angry, he might not even be able to keep his life, let alone his throne.
"Prince Liandre, are you worried about Wizard Moreton? To tell you the truth, we are looking for him as well. As soon as we find out that he has forcefully interfered with the common world, we will have a valid reason to kick him out of the Duchy of Carmel and send him to the orc battlefield! "Said Wizard Drayton with a cold laugh.
"If Your Highness doesn't want to do as we say, then we will consider if we should change a king or a family to rule this duchy!" Said Wizard Manfred who was next to him.
"But what reason can I use to remove Master Abel's title?" Prince Liandre George said hesitantly.
Seeing that Prince Liandre George had obeyed their order, Wizard Drayton smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's easy. Just find a reason. Since only treason can remove a noble's title and territory, then we will charge him with treason. No one will check the evidence. The Wizard Union will show up in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis and give them a heads-up!"
Soon, the Duchy of Carmel took away Abel's title and castle because of treason. The first thing that was taken away was Abel's private property in Bakong City, which was his house in Triumph Avenue, and a few manors in the outskirts of Bakong City.
Since it was a change of noble status, all nobles in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had to be notified. They had to remove Abel's family coat of arms and revoke Abel's title as a noble. Since changing a noble's coat of arms was a very important thing, all nobles in the Continent of Saint Ellis had to delete the coat of arms.
If Chief Knight Hoover didn't go to the Master Blacksmith's gathering in Kitchener City, then this situation wouldn't have happened. Wizard Moreton didn't care about the common world, so he didn't know anything about the Duchy of Carmel's decision.
Inside a sixteen-story magic tower in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, Wizard Cliff, the head of the Wizard Union's investigation department, was listening to the report of two intermediate wizards who just came back from the Duchy of Carmel.
"Mr. Cliff, please don't worry. First, we'll revoke Abel's title as a noble. Then, we'll change all of his properties in the Duchy of Carmel. We've also notified his foster father's family in Harvest City. No one is allowed to do business with them. I'm sure we'll be able to force them into a corner very soon. When that happens, Abel will naturally come back!" Wizard Drayton confidently reported the results of this trip to Wizard Cliff.
Just when Wizard Cliff was about to say something, his identity card on his waist began to vibrate. He stopped himself from praising Drayton and picked up his identity card. It was a message from his subordinate in the Wizard Union.
"What did you say? Abel became a Grandmaster Blacksmith? " Wizard Cliff yelled in disbelief. His voice was a little hoarse. You could imagine how he was feeling right now.
Seeing Wizard Cliff put away his identity card with a heavy expression, Wizard Drayton couldn't help but ask softly, "Mr. Cliff, Abel became a Grandmaster Blacksmith?"
Wizard Cliff pointed at Wizard Drayton and yelled, "It's all because of your great idea. Now, we've completely pissed off the Blacksmith's Guild!"
Wizard Drayton looked at Wizard Cliff in front of him with a wronged expression. He didn't dare to explain, but his heart was full of complaints. If Wizard Cliff didn't come to him specifically to discuss this matter with the Blacksmith's Guild headquarter, he wouldn't have come up with such an idea. He put in so much effort and effort, but in the end, he didn't get any benefits.
The news of Abel becoming a Grandmaster Blacksmith spread like wildfire in this world full of communication circles. It didn't take long for all the big organizations, duchies, and families to know about it.
Prince Leander George, who was supposed to know about it, was afraid that Wizard Moreton would come looking for trouble. After he gave the order, he went to the Duchy of Carmel's palace in the south. Therefore, he missed this important piece of news.
Grand Duke Edwina, who was in Angstrom City in the elves' Double Moon Forest, also received the news. She was very shocked. Abel was already a Grandmaster Alchemist. She thought it would take at least a few decades or even hundreds of years for Abel to achieve the ultimate glory of any profession. Who would've thought that she would hear this news not long after she left?
She was still mad at Abel for leaving without saying goodbye, but now, she couldn't be mad anymore. A genius like him couldn't stay in one place for too long.
It was already the second day of the Grandmaster Blacksmith gathering in Kitchener City. At this time, the hall was having a relaxing private conversation.
Abel didn't put away his Blackfire magic staff. Instead, he placed it on the table in the middle of the hall for the Grandmaster Blacksmiths to study. There weren't many security measures on the Blackfire magic staff, so what he did was basically exposing the technique of increasing the power of the magic staff.
This spirit of sharing deeply impressed all the Grandmaster Blacksmiths in the hall. They would also talk to Abel privately from time to time, mainly to share some of their immature ideas with Abel. This kind of opportunity to ask for advice from a Grandmaster Blacksmith was rare. The other 3 Grandmaster Blacksmiths hadn't appeared in public for a long time.
"Master Mori, I just received news that Guru Abel's title and territory in the Duchy of Carmel had been taken away. Even some of Guru Abel's properties in Bakong City had been taken back by the Duchy of Carmel!" A Blacksmith's Guild deacon walked into the hall and reported to Master Mori.
The dwarf deacon's voice was very loud, so all the Grandmaster Blacksmiths in the hall heard it clearly. They all turned to look at Master Hoover at the same time. Master Hoover's status in the Duchy of Carmel was very high. He could almost control everything in the Duchy of Carmel.
Master Hoover's face suddenly turned red. He had said in front of all the Grandmaster Blacksmiths that Abel's interests in the Duchy of Carmel would not be taken away. Now, what the Duchy of Carmel had done was a direct slap in his face. Not only was it a slap in his face, but it was also rubbing his face against the ground.
"Guru Abel, this is a little bit of my experience of a Grand Knight. Please take it. As for the Duchy of Carmel, I will leave now. I will definitely give you an explanation!" Master Hoover said in a deep voice as he handed a sheepskin book to Abel.
"Thank you, Master Hoover! The Duchy of Carmel has nothing to do with you. You don't have to rush. Let's talk about it after the gathering! "Abel took the sheepskin book and said sincerely to Master Hoover.
"Guru Abel, I don't have the face to stay here, not even for a moment. If I don't deal with this properly, I won't have the face to see you!" Master Hoover's eyes were a little red. He knew he would become the laughing stock of the Grandmaster Blacksmiths because of this.
