"Earl Abel, welcome back!" Said Viscount Dickens with a bow. His heart was filled with emotions. Before Abel left, he had already given a lot of face to Abel, even if he only met Abel once.
But now, Viscount Dickens couldn't help but feel bitter. The difference in status was too big. He was a viscount, and Abel was an earl. He was a head Knight, and Abel was an official wizard and a Grandmaster Blacksmith. No matter what status he had, Abel could crush him.
Viscount Dickens was so excited that he even forgot to introduce the 4 elite knights beside him. At that moment, he was wondering if Abel was going to be exiled. This was a ridiculous question, and the answer was just as ridiculous. A Grandmaster Blacksmith being exiled?
"Viscount Dickens, we meet again!" Abel bowed back and waved a beautiful circle in the air towards the 4 elite knights behind him. After that, he made an inviting gesture and said.
"Yes, you've grown up!" Said Viscount Dickens with a sigh. Although Abel was still very young, or at least very young among the earls and even the royals, Abel was still a child when he left.
"I've always remembered the help Viscount Dickens gave me, so I'll leave you to the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. They didn't do anything to you to leave Harvest City, right?" With Abel's current status, he didn't need to test the waters anymore, so he asked directly.
"Earl Abel, no, I was the one who asked to leave Harvest City. The Kingdom of Saint Ellis gave me very good conditions, and I'm very satisfied!" Said Viscount Dickens with a bow. Maybe Abel didn't care about the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, but Viscount Dickens cared, so he had to be honest.
Of course, no matter what, the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had lied to all the inherited nobles in Harvest City. If they knew it was Abel who came to take over the city, then it was hard to say how many of them would be willing to leave Harvest City.
Viscount Dickens wouldn't say this out loud. After all, his departure was already set in stone. Even the City Lord's Palace had been emptied. However, he was very regretful that he didn't leave anything behind.
When he found out that the person who took over Harvest City was an exiled noble, he almost emptied out the city lord's mansion. He even left behind a few chairs in the hall. Now, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
If Abel knew what he was thinking, he would have laughed out loud. He didn't care about the daily necessities. They weren't worth much. As long as he had enough money, many merchants would be willing to redecorate the city lord's mansion from the inside out.
"You are Jules?" Abel turned to look at Blacksmith Jules with a smile on his face. His voice was filled with friendliness.
"Guru Abel, on behalf of Harvest City's Blacksmith's Guild, I welcome you!" Said Blacksmith Jules excitedly. His voice was trembling because he was too excited.
"Harvest City is now my fief. I want to expand the Blacksmith's Guild in Harvest City. This is where I first became a Blacksmith Master. I will invest a lot of gold coins to expand this place. I will also ask the Blacksmith's Guild to send a Blacksmith Master Dwarf over!" Abel said with a smile as he looked around the Blacksmith's Guild in Harvest City.
"My God, according to the rumors, you are the owner of Harvest City. The Blacksmith's Guild in Harvest City will also have a permanent Blacksmith Master!" Said Blacksmith Jules excitedly. The most powerful blacksmith in Harvest City was Master Bentham, but Bentham's title was only recognized around Harvest City.
Because Master Bentham's real level was only an Advanced Blacksmith, but because some of his forging skills had reached the level of a Master, and because the equipment he forged was very famous around Harvest City, he was given the honorary title of Master Bentham.
Harvest City's Blacksmith's Guild was going to be reborn. This was the fief of Grandmaster Blacksmith Abel. Abel had also promised to invite a Blacksmith Master Dwarf to move in. This meant that even without Guru Abel, the Blacksmith's Guild in Harvest City would become the most powerful Blacksmith's Guild in the human world.
"Earl Abel, please come to the city's palace. I have already gathered all the officials there. We are just waiting for your arrival!" Said Viscount Dickens to Abel.
Abel smiled and nodded. He bowed to the people of the Blacksmith's Guild and turned around to leave the Blacksmith's Guild.
Outside the Blacksmith's Guild, a luxurious carriage was parked in the middle of the road. There were 10 official Knights in heavy armor on both sides of the carriage. When they saw Abel coming out of the door, they put their right hand in front of their chest and did a Knight salute.
Although the 10 official knights did not know Abel, they were very clear that the one who was accompanied by Viscount Dickens and wearing the Earl badge on his chest was the new owner of this city and this land.
Viscount Dickens didn't approach the carriage. The moment Abel set foot in Harvest City, he was no longer the owner of this city. The owner of this city was now Abel.
Abel slightly bowed and put his right hand in front of his chest to do a Knight salute. This made Viscount Dickens a little surprised. Although Abel was indeed a Knight when he left Harvest City a long time ago, he had heard that Abel had already become a Wizard. How could he still train as a Knight?
Although Viscount Dickens had his doubts, he didn't want to ask Abel. Plus, his status was no longer the same as Abel's, so he didn't have the right to ask Abel any questions.
Abel boarded the carriage. Although this carriage was luxurious, it was still a far cry from his super ox carriage. Thinking back, he was so capricious in the past. He used so many runes just to make a carriage, but now he knew that all he needed was a magic circle master to set up a temperature adjustment circle.
The wheels were moving on the roads of Harvest City. Along the way, Abel saw a lot of curious faces through the windows. The huge changes in the city did not affect the normal citizens. No matter which city it was, the nobles were the minority. The normal citizens still lived their lives as usual.
The citizens of Harvest City only knew one thing. They had changed the owner of the city, and the city would welcome an Earl. The entire city would become the Earl's territory, but this was too far away for the ordinary citizens.
Abel looked at everything outside, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility. From now on, these people would live under his rule. He would be responsible for their work, education, life, security, and protection.
Along the way, Abel saw Edmond's boutique shop. He remembered that it was Edmond's boutique shop where he found his first bucket of gold, although it wasn't Edmond's boutique shop.
More and more familiar images filled Abel's heart with nostalgia. This would be his home from now on!
The carriage soon arrived at the city lord's mansion. The fountain he thought was huge seemed very ordinary this time, far less shocking than when he first saw it. This fountain was not even as good as the one in his villa in Liante City.
At the gate of the Mayor's mansion, a servant took out a wooden step and placed it in front of the carriage. He then gently opened the carriage door.
Abel didn't use the wooden step. Instead, he directly stepped down from the carriage. It was as easy as stepping down a small flight of stairs, and in the eyes of the people around him, he looked very elegant.
Viscount Dickens squinted his eyes again. Although he couldn't see through Abel's knight rank, he was almost certain that Abel's knight strength had already surpassed his. That easy step just now seemed simple, but in fact, it required a strong control of the muscles in the middle to be able to do it so effortlessly.
Bartoli's whole body was wrapped in a robe. She also stepped down from the carriage. Her feet stepped on the wooden step, and a noble aura emanated from her body.
Viscount Dickens couldn't help but wonder who this mysterious woman behind Abel was. With this aura, he was almost 100% sure that she was a noble, and a great one at that.
