Lord Marshall, it should be Earl Marshall. Although the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had not responded yet, Abel believed that the emperor of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis would not reject his request.
Earl Marshall stayed in Harry Castle and handed over the management of Harvest City to him. Of course, this did not mean that he was busy. Ever since Abel had become the king of the Duchy of Carmel and Marshall had become an earl, many small nobles had come to pledge their loyalty.
This had increased the number of nobles in Harvest City, and it had also provided a large number of talents for Harvest City.
With the support of the wizard circle outside of Harry Castle, Harvest City had become the gathering place of wizards in the Duchy of Carmel. Abel did not want to change this. To him, Harry Castle was his home, and he must protect it.
Bakong City's security was guarded by Captain Hoover and a large number of Knight Knights, but Abel was not satisfied with this force. He moved battle fort 03 to Bakong City and hid it on top of the palace.
Battle fort 03's mission was to protect the palace and the teleportation circle.
Earl Bennett and his family moved to Bakong City with Abel, but Earl Bennett rejected Abel's request to live in the palace. Instead, he chose to live in a large mansion that Abel had prepared for him.
The teleportation circle in the palace was installed in only 2 days, and it was connected to the Wizard Union's teleportation network. This made the Duchy of Carmel one of the few duchies with a teleportation circle in the palace.
Over the next few days, the Royal Palace underwent some renovations. A large number of illumination formations were installed. Whether it was the Royal Palace's main hall, side halls, bedrooms, corridors, or even the servants' kitchens, they were all installed with illumination formations.
Illumination circles were also installed in the giant underground room. Outside of the treasure room, there was a special protection circle. Other than Abel and Steward Burbage, no one could enter.
No one knew that in this huge basement, there was a completely sealed room that could only be entered through a short-distance teleportation array.
In this room, there was a spirit that was exchanged with credit points from the Liante City Wizard Union. The spirit was extravagantly powered by a perfect gem.
The function of this spirit was to control all the illumination formations in the palace, and in places where people couldn't see, a large number of detection formations covered the entire palace.
This spirit was controlled by the battle fort 03 in the sky. When the battle fort 03 left, this spirit could work on its own.
The cost of remodeling the Duchy of Carmel Palace was enough to bankrupt several intermediate wizards, and all of this had created an unprecedentedly intelligent palace.
Although there was no magic tower here, battle fort 03 would still attack as soon as it was attacked. Even if battle fort 03 wasn't here, the wizards from Harry Castle would still come to help.
Of course, if the situation was dangerous, the basement could also be used as a shelter. It was a room with isolation and defense circles that could be activated by the spirit at any time. There were also enough "hunger potions" stored in it to deal with any danger.
Abel sometimes wondered if he had a phobia of persecution. If not, why would he turn the palace into a magic tower that was harmless to mana.
These days, as Abel's personal steward, Bartoli had been quite busy. She was sending out invitations to the Duchy of Carmel Palace banquet that would be held on the 5th of November.
From the dwarfs to the elves, the 3 big kingdoms, the Duchy of Thunder, the Duchy of Laka, and the Duchy of Rohr, Abel had received invitations.
Abel knew the reason why the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had given him the Duchy of Carmel instead of the Duchy of Keyen. He was too powerful. If there were more duchies in the Duchy of Carmel, the status of the Duchy of Carmel could directly affect the status of the other duchies. In the end, it could even affect the status of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
This was why Abel did not invite any duchies that were not close to the Duchy of Carmel.
Recently, Abel's exploration in the Dark World had almost stopped. He mainly focused on wizard training, forging equipment, and making potions.
He needed time to increase his power. At least, he would wait until he became an intermediate wizard before venturing into the underground cave of Lut Gholein. Without the "instantaneous movement," the danger would increase exponentially in a narrow environment, and his summons would not be able to save him in time.
On top of that, he was no longer just a single person and a family. He now had a duchy, and he needed to provide enough potions and equipment for this duchy.
Before leaving the Dark World, Abel went to the palace of Lut Gholein. He took all the art pieces he could and put them all into his portal object.
Tomorrow was the day of the Duchy of Carmel's banquet. This was the first banquet held by the new king, and it was also a very grand banquet. Steward Burbage looked at the invitation list, and the names on it made him speechless.
Although the emperors of the 3 big kingdoms were not likely to come, as long as they were invited, there would at least be princes and important officials of the kingdoms.
The dwarfs, the Goff family, the elves, the Angstrom City, the Liante City Wizard Union, and many other famous names were on the invitation list.
Some personal invitations, such as Blacksmith Masters, Knight Captains, and wizards, were not to be underestimated.
You could say that since the founding of the Duchy of Carmel, there had never been such a grand banquet.
"Be careful, those are foreign sculptures brought by the king himself. You won't be able to pay for it even if you sell yourself!" Steward Burbage yelled at a careless servant.
He was very excited at that moment. The treasures that were originally stored in the treasury had been placed in the palace as decorations, and the king had also brought a bunch of foreign art pieces.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the palace became a lot more humane. On top of that, there were lighting circles everywhere, and the palace became a museum.
For tomorrow's banquet, the palace had prepared a large amount of ingredients. The sealed red wine was also prepared, and a type of wine called the grandmaster wine was stored in the warehouse.
After 20 days of training, the chefs in the palace had mastered the new dish. Steward Burbage heard that every chef who learned the new dish had to sign a magic contract.
Steward Burbage's serious face cracked into a smile. The Duchy of Carmel's most glorious moment was about to arrive.
While Steward Burbage was busy, a servant carefully looked around. He was holding a small ornament in his arms that was holding up his clothes, so he had to be extra careful to avoid any Knight he encountered.
"As long as I can bring this out, I'll be a rich man in the future!" The servant thought to himself as he pressed the ornament in his arms with his left hand.
After serving in the palace for so many years, he was very familiar with the layout of the palace. He kept wandering around, dodging the guards one after another, and arrived at a wall in the palace.
There was a sewer at the bottom of the wall. Although it was not big, it was big enough for a person to crawl out.
The servant looked back at the palace, thinking that he would never come back after leaving this time. He then lowered his body and crawled into the sewer with a smile on his face.
The walls of the palace were not thick. As soon as the servant's body left the palace, the spirit that Abel called the guardian in the underground began to flash.
"The guardian has found a smuggler with a treasure from the palace. Requesting assistance in capturing him!" This message was quickly sent to Abel and the spirit of battle fort 03 in the sky.
After receiving this news, Abel shook his head and thought to himself, "How dare this person steal from a wizard? How dare he!"
He did not go capture him. With battle fort 03 there, he didn't have to worry about it.
As soon as the servant climbed over the palace wall, he felt the light in front of him dim. He couldn't help but raise his head, and he saw a 4 meters tall metal monster aiming a giant crossbow at him.
