The banquet was over, and Abel sent the guests out one by one. Of course, Bernie was asked to stay behind by Abel. There were a lot of guest rooms here. There was more than enough for the 7 of them.
"Abel, what is it?" Bernie and Abel were sitting in a meeting room with Bartoli standing at the door. Bernie could tell that Abel had something to say, and it was very secretive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Bartoli to stand guard outside the door, so he asked directly.
"Bernie, does the Goff Family have their own wizards who build magic towers and teleportation circles?" Abel thought for a moment and asked.
"Building magic towers and teleportation circles? We do, but why don't you ask the Liante City Wizard Union to help you? "Bernie asked curiously.
"I did, but there are some projects that I can't let others know about. Do you have any reliable construction wizards?" Abel said helplessly.
"Abel, my family has a construction team made up of my own people. They're only used for some highly secretive projects. Can you tell me what they're building?" Bernie asked curiously.
"I have a ready-made magic tower, but I don't want others to see it for the time being. So, I want to buy a medium to large hidden magic circle and put this magic tower in it. It's just that the interior of the magic tower needs to be renovated, and the teleportation circle is a little damaged." Abel said softly.
"Abel, don't tell me this magic tower you're talking about has 16 floors. Don't tell me it's also full of sighing stones outside?" Bernie's eyes widened as he stared at Abel.
"Ahem, how do you know everything?" Abel didn't expect Bernie to guess the origin of the magic tower so quickly.
"Abel, you know what? Ever since Wizard Cliff was killed, the first person I thought of was you. I thought you were going to use the power of the dwarves, so the two elite wizards in my family were ready to fight at any time. Who would've thought that Wizard Cliff would be killed not long after I heard the news of him being killed?
I couldn't believe it at first. That's an elite wizard we're talking about. Even the 2 elite wizards in our family might not be able to stop Wizard Cliff. We just wanted to avenge you. "Said Bernie with a weird look on his face.
"Thank you, Bernie. I did hide some of my power, but I didn't think everything would go so smoothly!" Abel said gratefully.
"Some of your power, Abel? I've known you for a long time, and we've fought together before, but I've never really understood your bottom line. You've always liked to hold back, or maybe you've always been a little scared. That's why you've always held back. You don't want your opponents or even your friends to know about you. Of course, this is normal. A wizard always has their own secrets. "Bernie pointed at Abel and sighed.
Afterward, he became agitated again and yelled, "But you've just killed an elite wizard. What kind of existence is that? How many elite wizards are there in the Holy Continent? What's even more incomprehensible is that you stole his magic tower! "
"Bernie, you didn't see how good that magic tower was. Who could resist that?" Abel said with a shrug of his hand.
"Of course I know about the sighing stones up there. Wizard Cliff has been collecting them for almost 50 years. Through all kinds of methods, he finally built that magic tower 10 years ago. If you don't count the number of floors, it's probably one of the best magic towers in the Holy Continent." Although Bernie was not a wizard, he still knew about Wizard Cliff's magic tower. The Goff Family's information told him where that magic tower came from.
"Yeah, a magic tower like that was just thrown in front of you. Wouldn't you feel sorry for yourself if you didn't take it?" Abel didn't care about what he said in front of Bernie. He didn't have many friends that he could talk to like this.
"The question is, how did you take something that big? I know that magic tower has 16 floors and is 50 meters tall!" Bernie said with a curious look.
"Actually, you know that I have a contract beast. It's that Johnson!" Abel said with a smile.
"Stone giant Johnson? I've seen it before. You changed it into a metal body. Stone giants? There aren't many of them in the Holy Continent. How did you get one and make it a contract beast? There are so many more powerful than you, but no one can make a contract with a stone giant!" Bernie said with a look of envy.
That 10 meter tall body was very similar to the giants in the legends. If he could get a contract beast like that and bring it back to the dwarves, it would be so cool. Bernie couldn't help but drool just thinking about it.
"I had no choice. I had to ask Johnson to swallow the entire magic tower and use it as a body. That's how I put it away!" Abel said with a proud smile.
"Abel, I'm impressed. You really can think of something like that!" Bernie said with a speechless look at Abel.
"So, now that you know everything you need to know, can you arrange a construction team to come help me?" Abel asked again.
"Ok, I'll arrange a construction team made up of our descendants. But if you want to hide your magic tower, I have a better way!" Bernie said with a smile.
"Bernie, what's your better way?" Abel asked strangely. The best way to hide something was to hide it with a magic circle. As a wizard, he had never heard of a better way to hide something.
"There's an ancient floating fort base in the warehouse of my family. If you put 2000 intermediate gems inside, you can hide everything on it, even your 50 meter tall magic tower!" Bernie said with pride.
"A floating fort base? Can it still be used? "Abel asked curiously.
"Abel, if it could be used, do you think you'd have a chance? Those wizards in the family would have already snatched it! "Bernie said with a look of disdain.
"How can it be called a floating fort base if it can't be used?" Abel asked in confusion.
"It's not that it can't be used. When the elite elves were still around, they had a lot of wealth. They placed these floating forts on top of the cities and hid them in the air. Once an enemy appeared, they could launch the first wave of attacks before they noticed!
Now, even us dwarfs don't have the wealth to use the floating function. When we first got this base, one of our elders used 20 high level gems to make it hover 2 meters off the ground. That's the same amount of gems a large city would use in a few hundred years if there was no war.
After that, no one dared to test the levitation function again. If you want to use the levitation function perfectly, you would need 2000 advanced gemstones to support all the magic circles on the cornerstone. Also, you have to make sure the gemstones have enough time to recover their mana. "Bernie explained.
"So, if I want this base, what are the conditions?" Abel's heart was immediately moved. He was different from everyone in the Holy Continent. He had as many advanced gems as he wanted. If he didn't have enough, he could synthesize them.
"20 barrels of master wine!" Bernie's eyes began to sparkle as he yelled.
To the dwarfs, wealth was nothing. The Goff Family traded with all the races in the Holy Continent every year. Wealth was just a number to them. They also had a lot of materials and training resources. Overall, the dwarfs were the biggest arms manufacturer in the Holy Continent due to their outstanding forging ability. They had almost monopolized the high-end and mid-range market.
Bernie didn't care about other things. Even if Abel offered to let the wizards in the family to eat for 10 days, it was just a casual request. However, he still cared about the master wine the most. Not only did he like this wine, but it was also a great tool for him to make friends with the higher-ups of the dwarfs.
"Bernie, you're so evil. You were kind enough to give me a solution. You were waiting for me here!" Abel pointed at Bernie and shook his head.
"Do you want it or not?" Bernie asked.
