Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem didn't expect to get into an argument with the 4 elite wizards of Liante City over gifts. Still, they didn't have much interaction with each other, so they didn't really care.
By that point, Wizard Nigel already knew that the parchment in Abel's hand was an order to cancel his arrest. He couldn't help but regret. If he knew this would happen, he would have talked to Abel face to face. At that time, Abel desperately needed credit points. Maybe he had already made a magic staff.
Now, he was not sure what price he could pay Abel to make a magic staff for him. Credit points were no longer a problem for Abel. Abel's speed of earning credit points was enough to make anyone jealous.
However, no matter how jealous they were, no one dared to touch Abel's benefits. After this banquet, no one would even dare to think about it.
"The prime minister of the Kingdom of St Pierrt, Duke Sterton, Intermediate Wizard Arche has arrived!" Steward Edwon's voice emerged, and everyone was stunned.
Wizard Arche's arrival was understandable. Abel had specially sent him an invitation to thank him for his work in dealing with Abel and the Food and Beverage Alliance.
However, the prime minister of the Kingdom of St Pierrt, Duke Sterton, had a very prestigious status. He was the prime minister of the Kingdom of St Pierrt, and he was the number one person under the king. Especially in the Kingdom of St Pierrt, the king did not really care about anything. His biggest hobby was to have fun. Most of the power was in the hands of Duke Sterton, and he was also the king's uncle.
It was very rare for such a powerful figure of the Kingdom of St Pierrt to come to Abel's banquet without an invitation.
"Guru Abel, I brought you a greeting from the Kingdom of St Pierrt's King, Manfred. May our friendship last forever!" Said Duke Sterton with a bow to Abel. His smile was very friendly, and he did not look like a prime minister of the Kingdom of St Pierrt at all.
"Duke Sterton, please convey my sincere gratitude to the Kingdom of St Pierrt's King, Manfred. Thank you for coming to this banquet!" Said Abel with a bow.
"Guru Abel, I didn't expect you to be so young!" Duke Sterton smiled as he approached Abel. The two of them were at a very subtle distance. If they got any closer, it would make people feel disgusted, and if they got any further, it would make people feel estranged.
Wizard Arche, who came with Duke Sterton, was a few steps behind as if he didn't exist. He didn't want to steal Duke Sterton's limelight at all. Although Duke Sterton didn't have any outstanding fighting skills, his status in the Kingdom of St Pierrt was very high. On top of that, he was a direct descendant of the royal family.
"Duke Sterton, for a blacksmith, being young isn't a good thing. You won't be trusted!" Abel said jokingly. Everyone knew a Grandmaster Blacksmith would be the most powerful blacksmith in the Holy Continent no matter how young he was. How could people not trust him?
"Guru Abel, I heard you are not living well in the Kingdom of St Ellis. If you want a change of environment, the Kingdom of St Pierrt has prepared a rich land and a title of earl for you. Also, the Kingdom of St Pierrt will build your magic tower for you!" Duke Sterton did not continue with the small talk. Instead, he got straight to the point.
Duke Sterton was here today to poach Abel. He came with enough attractive conditions to bring Abel back to the Kingdom of St Pierrt. He had enough status to represent the sincerity of the Kingdom, and he had shown enough goodwill in the compensation.
Duke Sterton's voice wasn't soft, so Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem heard it as well. Their faces changed. This was a blatant attempt to rob someone.
"Duke Sterton, Guru Abel is from the Kingdom of St Ellis. Don't you think this is inappropriate?" Said Wizard Edmond with a bow. Although he was very polite, his words were full of anger.
"My God, Guru Abel is from the Kingdom of St Ellis? I really don't know. I only remember Guru Abel was wanted by the Kingdom of St Ellis Wizard Union and escaped. That's why I invited him! "Said Duke Sterton with an innocent face.
"We have already canceled the wanted order for Guru Abel. You got the news too late!" Said Wizard Edmond with a mocking tone.
"I know the Kingdom of St Ellis agreed with the Duchy of Carmel to remove Guru Abel's title. I heard it was also because of the Wizard Union!" Said Duke Sterton with a mocking tone.
Just when Abel couldn't stand it anymore and was about to say something, Steward Edwon's voice emerged from the door again, "Duke Ernest of the Kingdom of St Ellis has arrived!"
Abel wasn't familiar with the Kingdom of St Ellis, so he didn't know who Duke Ernest was. But as a duke, he should be an important figure in the Kingdom of St Ellis.
"Abel, Duke Ernest is the blood brother of the current emperor, his majesty Ambrose. To a certain extent, he can represent his majesty!" Said Wizard Moreton gently to Abel.
To be honest, Abel didn't even know all the big nobles in the Duchy of Carmel, let alone the Kingdom of St Ellis. It was his first time hearing about the emperor of the Kingdom of St Ellis. Before, the Kingdom of St Ellis was so high up that he didn't even have the right to get close to it.
But now, he no longer needed to get close to it. To him, the secular world was just a place for his family to live. The secular world could no longer give him what he wanted.
"Duke Ernest, welcome!" Said Abel with a bow.
"Guru Abel, I'm sorry to disturb you. I heard your food is the best in the world, so I came to try it. Please forgive me!" Said Duke Ernest in a very polite tone. He was very humble.
Abel didn't know him personally, but since he was here, he was a guest. Abel made an inviting gesture and invited Duke Ernest into the hall.
Duke Ernest immediately saw Duke Sterton of the Kingdom of St Pierrt, and his face changed. The reason he was here was because the Kingdom of St Pierrt had sent a report to His Majesty Ambrose. The Kingdom of St Pierrt had given Guru Abel the most luxurious mansion and 27 restaurants in Linate City. This was definitely a big deal.
In the past, His Majesty Ambrose couldn't do anything because the Wizard Union had a bounty on Abel. But now that the Wizard Union had canceled the bounty on Abel, His Majesty decided to get involved. He couldn't let the Kingdom of St Pierrt take Abel away.
That was why Duke Ernest came to Abel's banquet as his representative. He didn't expect to run into Duke Sterton at the banquet.
"Duke Sterton, your body is still as strong as before!" Said Duke Ernest with a noble smile as he bowed.
"Duke Ernest, why did you come to the banquet? Did you receive an invitation as well?" Duke Sterton bowed back enthusiastically when he saw Duke Ernest.
"Duke Sterton, I heard you weren't in the invitation either. Why are you here?" Said Duke Ernest sharply, but the smile on his face didn't change at all.
Abel couldn't help but shiver as he listened to the conversation between the two dukes. It was like he was watching two old foxes fighting over a fish. Unfortunately, that fish was him.
He shook his head to get rid of that thought. Just when he was about to leave the two old foxes and chat with Bernie, Duke Ernest turned to him and said, "Guru Abel, I've brought you a title from His Majesty Ambrose."
"Duke Ernest, you should know that my noble title in the Duchy of Carmel has been removed. I'm no longer a noble. The title will have to wait until I regain it!" Abel stopped and said with a smile. It was impossible that the Kingdom of Saint Ellis didn't interfere when his noble title was removed.
