Abel did not explain to Master Bentham the functions of the super bullock-cart. He did not want to deprive Lord Marshall of the joy of receiving the gift, so Master Bentham did not know the value of the bullock-cart. He only thought that Abel had modified the shock absorber, and he believed that Abel had the ability to do so.
When Abel sent his father's family and Master Bentham into the hall and returned to Lord Marshall's side, he heard Lindsay's voice from outside the castle.
"The honorable Master Thorin Oakenshield has arrived!"
This master did not know Lord Marshall, but Lord Marshall knew that Master Thorin was Abel's Blacksmith Master, so he also sent an invitation to this master blacksmith. Abel thought that Master Thorin would not attend the banquet, and that the invitation was only out of courtesy. After all, dwarves rarely attended human banquets, but Master Thorin still came. It could only be because he valued Abel.
"Welcome, Master Thorin!" Abel bowed and said in a sincere tone.
"Hello, Master Abel. Although a human lord and a fief mean nothing to you, I still brought the blessings of the Blacksmith's Guild!" Master Thorin's attitude was very clear. His arrival clearly showed that the Blacksmith's Guild was on Abel's side.
"Master Thorin, after the banquet, please stay in the castle. I have something to ask you!" Although Master Bentham had studied with the dwarves for a while, he was not a Blacksmith Master. Abel still had some questions in his heart, so he still had to ask Master Thorin. He originally wanted to visit Master Thorin after everything was settled, but this time, Master Thorin came in person, so Abel had the opportunity to ask Master Thorin about his request in advance.
"Of course. Master Abel must have come up with some wonderful idea. I will definitely stay." Master Thorin knew that Abel must have made some new discoveries, which was why he asked him for advice. Master Thorin was very happy that Abel could share his forging experience with him.
"The mayor of Harvest City, the honorable Viscount Dickens has arrived!"
"The Fourth Prince of the Duchy of Carmel, the honorable Prince Wyatt George, has arrived!"
The noise at the door startled all the guests. The news that the mayor of the city and the fourth prince of the duchy were attending the banquet together shocked everyone.
The city lord rarely attended other people's banquets, let alone leaving Harvest City to attend other people's banquets.
Also, why would the 4th prince of the duchy of Carmel come to a lord's birthday banquet with someone as prestigious as him?
As the host, Lord Marshall and Abel quickly walked to the door. At that moment, there were two carriages parked in front of the door. There were eight Knights following behind the carriages. The owner of the carriage had already gotten off the carriage and was looking at the castle.
"The honorable mayor, the honorable Prince Wyatt, the honorable Harry Castle welcomes you!" Lord Marshall said as he bowed to the two.
"I heard that it was your birthday, so I brought a small gift to congratulate you." Viscount Dickens said with a warm attitude as he handed over a small box.
Lord Marshall took the box and said as he opened it, "I know that you are very busy, so I didn't invite you. This is my fault."
Inside the box was a medal with a picture of the Goddess of Harvest on it. This medal was personally made by a senior priest in the Goddess of Harvest temple, and it was blessed by the goddess through a ceremony.
The process of making the medal was very complicated. It could only be made once every few years, but at the same time, countless lords wanted to get the medal to ask for the protection of the Goddess of Harvest, so it was even more difficult to get a medal.
Of course, it was not difficult for Viscount Dickens to get the medal, but Viscount Dickens gave this gift with great care.
"Thank you for the gift, it is very precious!" Lord Marshall said with a smile as he put the gift back into the box.
When Prince Wyatt saw Viscount Dickens give the gift to Knight Marshall in front of him, his face suddenly became a little ugly. Although he came with Viscount Dickens, he did not have a good relationship with a big noble like Viscount Dickens. In the Duchy of Carmel, the relationship between the royal family and all the big nobles was very tense.
Although Prince Wyatt's status was noble, the premise was that his father, the current King Spender George, was still on the throne. If King Spender passed away, then as the fourth prince, he would be kicked out of the palace. He would only be given a noble title, but no territory, and his descendants would not be able to use the surname George. If Prince Wyatt's descendants could not get enough military service, then their final fate would be that his descendants would become civilians.
Therefore, except for the eldest prince, all the other princes tried to get military service. Because during their time as princes, they would be protected by the king, so their chances of getting military service were much higher than ordinary people.
A few days ago, when Abel entrusted Edmund's boutique shop to auction the magic weapon in Bakong City, Prince Wyatt was traveling in the south. When he heard the news, he did not have time to come back to participate in the auction.
This kind of magic weapon was not common in the human world. Prince Wyatt was a beginner Knight, so whether it was for his own use or to reward his subordinates, it would be very useful.
This time, he came to Harvest City with the intention of meeting Master Abel and buying the magic weapon in person. He was just in time for the castle's celebration dinner, so he came to Harry Castle with Viscount Dickens.
But he came in a hurry, so he did not bring any gifts with him. The value of the things he brought with him was either too high or too low, so there was no suitable gift. Also, Viscount Dickens's actions were clearly to attack the royal family's prestige.
The family name Harry also made Prince Wyatt unhappy. In the Duchy of Carmel, Family Harry in Bakong City was one of the biggest families in the Duchy. Their opposition to the royal family was already an open matter, and the prince just knew that Master Abel's Harry Castle was a branch of Family Harry in Harvest City.
"Knight Marshall, I came in a hurry, so I did not bring any gifts, please forgive me!" Prince Wyatt said with a slight smile and a slight bow.
Abel on the side looked at Prince Wyatt's polite smile and arrogance. He also called Lord Marshall a Knight. Although he was not officially awarded by the royal family, according to the noble tradition, he should change the title to Lord.
"Your Royal Highness Prince Wyatt, it doesn't matter. Your arrival itself is the greatest honor of Harry Castle!" Although Lord Marshall was a little unhappy in his heart, he still said with a smile on his face.
After the two distinguished guests were welcomed into the hall, the atmosphere in the hall immediately warmed up. The nobles who considered themselves to be of higher status came forward to chat with the city lord and Prince Wyatt, while the nobles who were not qualified to chat with the two were filled with joy. This was the biggest topic of conversation. In the future, they would be able to tell others that they had dined together with the city lord and Prince Wyatt. What a great honor this was!
"Master Abel, I came this time to buy a magic weapon." Just when Abel and Master Thorin were talking about forging, Prince Wyatt came over with a glass of red wine.
"My magic weapons were all entrusted to Edmund's boutique shop to auction. If you want to buy them, you can go to Edmund's boutique shop." Abel did not want to talk to this prince. He did not want anything from this prince. Plus, the prince's attitude towards Lord Marshall just now made Abel very unhappy, so he politely refused.
The dwarf grandmaster Thorin frowned at this moment. This prince's request was unreasonable. Although blacksmith grandmasters would sell their products privately, that was only for the sake of friendship between close friends. Blacksmith grandmasters also needed to make a living. Every blacksmith grandmaster would consume an astronomical amount of experimental materials, and the results of these experiments were what supported the improvement of a blacksmith grandmaster's skills.
"10,000 gold coins to buy one of your magic weapons." Prince Wyatt did not seem to see Abel's refusal, and directly opened the price with an arrogant and somewhat charitable tone.
