Wizard Archie's position had given him too many benefits, and he didn't want to lose it. It was all for the benefit of the Kingdom of St Pierrt. As long as he could protect himself, he didn't care.
"Do you know who owns the Forgotten Land?" Wizard Lorenzo asked Wizard Archie.
"Mr. Lorenzo, I heard that the Forgotten Land is owned by an intermediate wizard. Does this intermediate wizard have a big background?" Wizard Arche seemed to have understood something, so he asked.
"The Forgotten Land is owned by Guru Abel's steward. In other words, it is owned by Guru Abel. Your Food and Beverage Alliance is so arrogant to mess with a Grandmaster Blacksmith. What a bunch of idiots!" Wizard Lorenzo laughed coldly.
Wizard Lorenzo didn't really care about the loss of the Food and Beverage Alliance. Even the 4 elite wizards didn't want to mess with Guru Abel. How dare a small Food and Beverage Alliance threaten him? It was only natural that they would be killed.
"Guru Abel's property!" Wizard Archie said in disbelief.
He finally understood who destroyed the 27 restaurants and the mansion. There was no way a small team of 4 could do something like this. Only someone like Guru Abel could do something like this. As long as he said something, there would be tons of Knight Captains and intermediate wizards to do it for him.
Wizard Arche bowed, "Mr. Lorenzo, please help me explain to Grandmaster Abel. It was all Weli's own doing. The Kingdom of St Pierrt and I really didn't know anything about it."
"Ok, we don't have much time. See what kind of compensation you can offer. I'll help you settle this as soon as possible!" Said Wizard Lorenzo waving his hand.
"Mr. Lorenzo, I can make the decision to give all 27 restaurants to Guru Abel. Although they were destroyed, I can arrange for people to rebuild them in 10 days!"
Wizard Archie knew those 27 restaurants had the best locations in the city. They were owned by the Food and Beverage Alliance, which was also owned by the Kingdom of St Pierrt. Therefore, it was worth it to use those 27 restaurants in exchange for Guru Abel's forgiveness.
Although 27 restaurants might be a lot of wealth to an individual, it was nothing to a kingdom. It might be worth a lot in Liante City, but 1/3 of this city belonged to the Kingdom of St Pierrt.
"Give Guru Abel a mansion as well. It's a sign of goodwill from the Kingdom of St Pierrt. I'll help you tell him!" Wizard Lorenzo waved his hand and said.
"Ok, I'll pick a good mansion. Also, I'll report it to the kingdom!" Wizard Archie nodded in agreement.
Wizard Archie was the representative of the Kingdom of St Pierrt in Liante City. Naturally, he had a special status in the Kingdom of St Pierrt. He was a wizard from the royal family. Although he was not a direct descendant of the royal family, his outstanding talent as a wizard had given him this position.
This compensation to Guru Abel was equivalent to giving a gift to Guru Abel. Normally, he would not have the chance to meet Guru Abel. This was a blessing in disguise. Even the Kingdom of St Pierrt would be more than willing to give away these assets.
"Hurry up. I think the people outside are about to explode." Wizard Lorenzo felt a headache as he looked at the situation outside.
Wizard Archie quickly contacted the prime minister of the Kingdom of St Pierrt. Things like this could be done as long as the prime minister agreed. Also, the emperor would only need to review it in his daily report. It would not affect the prime minister's decision.
The prime minister agreed with Wizard Archie's suggestion. It was very important to resolve the conflict with Guru Abel as soon as possible. Therefore, the prime minister asked him to make sure Guru Abel was satisfied.
With the prime minister's permission, Wizard Archie generously gave away a luxurious mansion near the inner circle as compensation. The 27 restaurants would also be given to the best craftsmen in the kingdom to build and renovate. With the full support of the prime minister and the kingdom, it would take less than 10 days to complete.
Afterward, Wizard Arche handed Wizard Lorenzo a parchment booklet and 28 land deeds to Wizard Lorenzo. He then bowed and said, "Mr. Lorenzo, please take care of this. The Kingdom of St Pierrt and I will be very grateful to you!"
Wizard Lorenzo took the book and 28 land deeds and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Guru Abel and I are friends. I'll do it for you!"
Wizard Lorenzo came to Abel's place again. He brought a large amount of compensation, 27 restaurant land deeds, a mansion land deed, and the friendship of the Kingdom of St Pierrt.
This was definitely an unexpected reward. Abel originally thought that he would use the Goff Family's information network to find out that the Food and Beverage Alliance was backed by the Kingdom of St Pierrt. He just wanted to pressure the Kingdom of St Pierrt to learn a lesson and apologize to him. Then, everything would be over.
Abel knew that he had destroyed all 27 restaurants under the Food and Beverage Alliance's name and killed the head of the Food and Beverage Alliance. He thought this was already a very serious punishment, but he didn't expect the kingdom's thoughts to be so different.
Compared to the friendship of a Grandmaster Blacksmith, the Kingdom of St Pierrt valued the friendship of a Grandmaster Blacksmith more. Money was just a way to build a good relationship.
After Wizard Lorenzo left, Abel turned to Bartoli and said, "Go and tell everyone that we'll reopen today. Also, give the staff some extra compensation. They were scared yesterday, and now that the compensation is here, they can take some of the glory!"
"Yes, master!" Bartoli bowed and replied.
"Also, recruit some more people. In 10 days, 27 restaurants will belong to us. The locations of these restaurants are very good. They will all be our family's property from now on!" Abel said with a smile. He knew the locations of those 27 restaurants very well.
Right now, Abel's family was still very weak. They only had 2 Knight domains in their territory. Although they had a lot of land, they didn't produce much. Some of their properties in Bakong City had been taken over by the royal family of the Duchy of Carmel. However, he didn't need to worry about this. He knew very well that a small Duchy had taken over his property. As long as Head Knight Hoover showed up, everything would be taken back.
Even if Head Knight Hoover showed up, he didn't want to let this matter end so easily. Abel's noble status was earned by killing orcs. How could a Baron's status be taken away? This was an insult to the entire noble system. Even a Duchy couldn't do this.
Abel didn't know that his noble status had been restored. In order to compensate him, the Duchy of Carmel had asked the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to raise Abel's title to Viscount. Now, all he needed to do was wait for the Kingdom of Saint Ellis' reply.
As the Duchy of Carmel, the royal family only had the right to grant the title of Baron and below. Anyone who wanted a title of Baron and above must apply to the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. Of course, the application process would not be rejected. It was just a gesture from the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
For a long time, the royal family of the Duchy of Carmel, which was known for its stinginess, basically did not reward the nobles with land. For example, Abel's land reward was only awarded to him after he rescued Matthew Castle, under the premise of the death of Baron Matthew himself and all his heirs. According to the wartime rules, Matthew Castle should be considered his spoils of war.
