"Tell them to come in batches. No more than 5 at a time. I don't want trouble!" Abel rolled his eyes at Bernie. He could've discussed this with him in private. There was no need to mention it here.
Actually, Bernie's feelings were understandable. Wizards were the true power of a race. Of course, he had to say it out loud.
"Ahem!" Wizard Lorenzo's face was a little red. He wasn't used to begging people, but he still said, "Guru Abel, I've been having a bad appetite lately. Can you …"
Obviously, he wanted to eat at Abel's place. The other 3 wizards in Linate City were not as close to Abel as he was, so there was no way they would ask. The same went for the 2 wizards from the Wizard Union of St Ellis. They had just recovered their relationship, so there was no way they could ask for something like this.
"Wizard Lorenzo, if you don't have a good appetite, you can eat at my place for a while!" Abel said casually.
He didn't need to cook anyway. It was all done by the kitchen, and the ingredients were provided by the dwarves.
Wizard Lorenzo's face was getting redder and redder, but he still said, "Um, I still have a few useless disciples who have been stuck at a bottleneck for years. Guru Abel, can they come with me?"
Abel looked at Wizard Lorenzo's face, and he was sure that the blush on his face was fake. Wizard Lorenzo's three colleagues also looked at him with disdain. How could he make such a shameless request?
"It's fine if they come!" Abel said. Wizard Lorenzo's face was filled with disappointment. Afterward, Abel added, "You can take some back after you finish your meal!"
"Thank you so much, Grandmaster Abel!" Wizard Lorenzo began to savor the steamed egg in his hand with a satisfied smile.
Although Duke Sterton and Duke Earnest were not wizards, they could tell that Abel had a very precious resource in his hands. Although this resource could only help a wizard level up, it was still the best resource in the Holy Continent due to the importance of wizards. All of a sudden, Abel's importance in the hearts of the Dukes increased to another level.
"Ah, the leveling up qi is gone!" After half an hour, Abel suddenly turned his head towards the direction of the meeting hall and said.
Abel didn't need to say anything. All the wizards on the spot could feel the energy of a rank 7 wizard. It was because Wizard Yveline had just leveled up, so he couldn't fully control it.
After a while, Wizard Yveline, Wizard Morton, and Wizard Murphy returned to the hall. At that moment, Wizard Yveline's face was filled with joy, and he looked at Abel with gratitude.
"Wizard Yveline, congratulations!" Said Abel with a smile as he put his hands in front of his chest and did a wizard bow.
"Abel, let's not talk about anything else. My new magic tower will be built in your domain!" Said Wizard Yveline with a serious wizard bow.
"That's a deal. I'll build the magic tower. Also, you have to prepare your own spiritual beast soul for your leveling up gift. I have a blank magic staff here. I'll make one for you!" Said Abel with a smile.
Since Wizard Yveline had said this in a formal setting, he had already confirmed his status as a wizard of Earl Abel's domain. He would enjoy the benefits of the Earl's domain, and at the same time, he would have the responsibility to protect the Earl's domain.
Although Earl Abel's domain was in the Duchy of Carmel, the real problem was that Earl Abel's title was granted by the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, not the Duchy of Carmel. This basically meant that the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had forcefully taken Harvest City out of the Duchy of Carmel. In other words, Harvest City only belonged to the Duchy of Carmel in name, but Earl Abel only had to answer to the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
Even the taxes had nothing to do with the Duchy of Carmel. According to Abel's understanding, the empire would usually pay a lower tax rate than the normal tax rate for this kind of land. Since the Kingdom of Saint Ellis didn't even mention this, it seemed like they had given up on the tax.
Although Abel didn't know how the Kingdom of Saint Ellis operated, it was very rare for them to forcefully take away the Duchy of Carmel's domain to give out rewards.
Wizard Moreton wanted to say something, but he didn't. Instead, he let out a sigh and stopped trying to persuade Wizard Yveline. Wizard Yveline had done enough for the Duchy of Carmel for so many years. Even after the Duchy of Carmel was heavily injured, he still continued to protect the Duchy of Carmel.
It was not like Wizard Yveline had left the Duchy of Carmel. He had just moved to another place to protect. Wizard Moreton really couldn't persuade him.
Although there weren't many dishes in the banquet, the huge plates were quickly emptied. Then, huge plates filled with dishes were brought to the table. Everyone put their dignity aside and ate to their heart's content. This was a rare sight in an ordinary banquet.
In a normal banquet, the dishes were just decorations. Chatting was the most important thing. However, in Abel's banquet, the dishes were the most important thing. Chatting was secondary.
When the banquet was coming to an end, and everyone was a little full, Abel quietly went to find Wizard Lorenzo.
"Wizard Lorenzo, I'm planning to go back to my territory and build 3 magic towers. Do you think the Liante City Wizard Union has enough manpower to build them?" Abel asked softly.
Although he could buy a magic tower with credit points, magic towers were different from other things. They were not ready-made. They needed to be built.
Wizards who built magic towers were very busy. After buying a magic tower with credit points, they still had to wait for the wizards in charge of the construction to be free. Usually, it would take a few months. Sometimes, it could even take a year before it was their turn.
Therefore, Abel called Wizard Lorenzo aside to ask about the current situation. He was going to go back to Harvest City to take over his domain in a few days. If possible, he wanted to build magic towers at the same time.
The construction of magic towers took time. Normally, it would take about 30 days to build a magic tower. If there was not enough manpower, it would take a few months to build 3 magic towers. Therefore, it was better to start as soon as possible.
"Guru Abel, don't worry. I will try my best to find all the wizards in 10 days. I will try my best to get them started at the same time!" Said Wizard Lorenzo with a smile. This was a piece of cake for him, so of course, he'd do Abel a favor.
"Wizard Lorenzo, thank you so much. I will go to the Wizard Union and give you the credit points as soon as possible!" Abel bowed and thanked him.
"Master!" Bartoli, who had been busy all day, walked into the hall and bowed to Abel.
"Steward Edwon, tell the kitchen to make 2 more dishes. One for takeout, and the other for Bartoli!" Abel said to Steward Edwon.
"Bartoli, don't work so hard anymore. Now that I have regained my noble status, I will let my family take over the business here. You can spend more time on improving your strength!" Said Abel to Bartoli, who was full of excitement despite his tiredness.
Bartoli's voice was not loud. It was so soft that only Abel could hear him, "Master, I don't work too hard. I love it here. It makes me feel alive!"
The difference between being trapped for ten thousand years and her current life was like heaven and hell. Although her identity had changed from a Countess to a housekeeper, she enjoyed the feeling of living even more. She no longer had to be trapped in a small space like she was in the Forgotten Tower, suffering day and night.
Abel's teacher, Wizard Moreton, stared at this intermediate wizard named Abel in shock. Although he already knew about this, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. He was the only intermediate wizard in the Duchy of Carmel, and intermediate wizards were a very prestigious group in the Holy Continent.
At that moment, he deeply felt that his disciple, the child he had watched grow up, had grown to a level of power beyond his imagination. Although this power was not built on fighting power, no one in the Holy Continent would dare to underestimate Abel's power.
