Abel explained his idea, "I'll set up a wizard defense circle and a teleportation circle in the castles of both families. That way, if the castles are attacked in the future, my family will have enough time to leave through the teleportation circle. Or, help will come from the outside!"
Knight of Bennett said worriedly, "Thank you for thinking so much for your family. This is going to cost a lot of resources, right? You can't delay your training for the family!"
Abel said with a smile, "Don't worry, father. Once my magic tower is built, I will no longer care about the worldly affairs and focus on my training. If I don't take care of my family, I won't be able to focus on my training!"
Normally, wizards would not directly rule a territory like him. They would have been asked by the Wizard Union to set up a successor and stay away from the worldly affairs.
However, Abel was different. First of all, he was too young. Without a successor, there was no way he would leave his territory behind. Secondly, he was a grandmaster blacksmith, so the Wizard Union didn't want to ask him anything.
Resources from the mortal world were of no use to wizards. They would only delay the wizard's training. Perhaps when he was a beginner wizard, gold coins would be of some use to him. However, once he became an intermediate wizard, gold coins were basically useless. Other than some teleportation circles that required gold coins, there was nothing else he could use them for.
Wizards needed to exchange their training resources with credit points, and the Wizard Union had taken all the resources in the worldly affairs. Only undiscovered resources like the magic stone mine Abel found in the Lila Valley could be useful, but those resources were too rare.
Therefore, wizards rarely controlled the worldly affairs themselves. Instead, they indirectly influenced the worldly affairs by worshipping them. Wizards were too powerful. They were powerful to the point where they could break the rules. The Wizard Union was the organization that controlled the behavior of wizards.
Lord Marshall sighed, "Abel, I understand. Wizards are like gods. Maybe if it weren't for our two families, you wouldn't even accept the title of earl!"
Thinking about the lifespan of a wizard, most wizards didn't have many family members by the time they became official wizards. As wizards had to train in their magic towers for a long time, their family members would die of old age one by one, and their relationship with their family would become weaker and weaker.
"Harry Castle and Bennett Castle are both my homes. Now, all the land around them is my fief. I hope you guys can help me manage this land. In the end, I will hand it over to you guys."
While Abel was discussing with his two elders, he received a message from Bartoli through the soul chain. The dwarfs' construction team had arrived at Harvest City.
Abel stood up, bowed and said, "Father, Uncle Marshall, I have to go back to Harvest City. This time, I invited the dwarves to build some buildings for me. They have already arrived, and I have to go greet them. I'll take my leave first!"
When Abel walked out of the study room, he saw his mother, Nora, instructing the servants to prepare lunch. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Mother, I have something to do. I'll leave first!"
"Abel, you just came back. You haven't even eaten yet!" Nala didn't expect Abel to leave as soon as he came home. Her tears were about to fall again. She said heartbreakingly.
"I will stay in Harry Castle for a while. I will come back to see you when I have time!" Abel said softly.
"Let Abel go. His business is more important!" Knight of Bennett also walked out of the study room and lowered his voice.
"Go, remember to come back!" Nala helplessly patted Abel's arm and said.
"I'm going!" Abel bowed again.
"Black Wind!" Abel yelled as he arrived at the door of the hall.
A black shadow appeared in front of Abel like lightning. Abel jumped on Black Wind's back, and Black Wind suddenly accelerated. It turned into a black lightning bolt and rushed out of the gate of the castle. Soon, it disappeared.
In the courtyard of Harvest City, Abel saw the dwarves that were here to help him with the construction. The leader was a young dwarf in leather armor. Although he also had a big beard, his face still looked young and inexperienced.
"Guru Abel, I am Isaiah Goff. You can call me Isaiah. The 10 dwarfs I brought are all from the Goff family. Don't worry about their safety!" The young dwarf, Isaiah, bowed and introduced himself as he looked at Abel with a look of worship.
It seemed like this was one of his admirers. Abel also bowed back and said, "Isaiah, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Let's not talk about anything else. I'll give you more than enough wine!"
After hearing Abel's promise, both Isaiah and the 10 dwarfs behind him began to laugh. Isaiah said, "I've heard that Guru Abel's personality is very similar to us dwarfs. It seems like it is true!"
"Master, lunch is ready!" Bartoli came in and bowed.
"Let's have lunch first, then we'll go to Harry Castle!" Abel smiled and invited Isaiah and the 10 dwarfs behind him.
"Then we won't be polite. After you!" Isaiah turned sideways and walked towards the dining hall with Abel.
Before they even entered the dining hall, an enticing aroma wafted over. This aroma made Isaiah drool. He sighed, "I heard from young master Bernie that your food is the best in the world. I thought he was exaggerating, but now it seems like it's true. I don't even need to eat. Just the smell alone is irresistible!"
In the middle of the dining table was the master's seat. It was Abel's seat, so of course, no one would steal it. The first seat on the right was the most prestigious seat on the table. Just when Isaiah was about to take it, a white light flashed, and a figure appeared in that seat.
"Guru Abel, I'm sorry I'm late. But I'm just in time for lunch, so it's not too late!" A dwarf with a white beard in a wizard robe stood in front of the seat and bowed to Abel.
Isaiah was just about to ask who had stolen his position, but after seeing the dwarf's appearance, his anger immediately disappeared. He bowed obediently, and said, "Master Cyril, you're here!"
"How are you going to start working if I'm not here?" Said Cyril the dwarf as he gazed at Isaiah.
Isaiah quickly introduced, "Guru Abel, this is Mr. Cyril from our family. He's an elite wizard!"
"Wizard Cyril, thank you so much!" Abel knew this dwarf was here to deliver the base of the floating fort to him, so he quickly bowed.
"It's no trouble at all. Bernie told me that I'll stay here for 10 days before I leave!" Wizard Cyril was a straightforward person. He didn't hesitate to tell Abel what he wanted.
"Don't worry, I'll ask the steward to prepare the best food for you!" Abel said with a smile.
Back at the mansion in Liante City, the two chefs were left there. The wizards from the Goff Family had already gone over, but Wizard Cyril wanted to eat Abel's food more.
Wizard Cyril believed Abel would only make the best food for himself. Besides, Bernie was the one who got the opportunity for the younger generation. It was not right for an elite wizard to steal the opportunity from the younger generation.
"Please, have a seat!" Abel said with a gesture.
Isaiah and the 10 dwarves, who were originally very excited, carefully took their seats. Two servants carried a barrel of master wine over and turned the dragon head to the bottom of the barrel. They then took out a wine glass and began to pour the wine.
Wizard Cyril took a sniff, and his eyes began to sparkle, "Bring the wine over. They need to do something in the afternoon. They can't drink that much!"
The servant looked at Abel, and Abel could only nod. The servant carefully brought the wine glass in his hand to Wizard Cyril. Wizard Cyril took the glass and poured the master wine into his mouth. He squinted his eyes and laughed, "Put that barrel of wine next to me. I don't need anyone to pour it for me!"
Soon, the servant brought the barrel to Wizard Cyril's table. Wizard Cyril looked at the barrel with satisfaction. Compared to the sad faces of Isaiah and the other dwarves, Wizard Cyril was very happy.
Luckily, Isaiah and the other dwarves were very satisfied with the taste of the food. Bartoli had prepared a lot of food, so it didn't take long for the dwarves to finish everything.
