November 5th. Since the banquet was held at noon, people began to arrive from the teleportation circle in the morning.
Of course, there were also some people who had arrived a few days ago, such as the 3 duchies nearby. They didn't have the right to use the teleportation circle, so they had already arrived at Bakong City and checked into a hotel to wait for the banquet to begin.
The palace servants had already changed into new uniforms. Even the steward of Burbage had changed into an exquisite black steward suit.
Abel had just finished his breakfast, and the steward of Burbage led him to the cloakroom. This was a set of rooms in the palace. In the middle was an empty room like a lounge. On both sides of the wall were full-body mirrors.
Since there was no glass technology, the cost of making these full-body mirrors was terrifying. The body of the mirror was made of a giant crystal, and the back of the mirror was sealed with mercury.
Therefore, these 2 full-body mirrors were very heavy, and they could only be mounted on the wall.
In the first room next to the cloakroom, there were countless dresses. Some were for women, some were for men. Most of them were passed down from the George family.
Abel was going to throw them all away, but after the steward of Burbage explained, he realized that these dresses were the symbol of a family's heritage.
Of course, he would not wear these old dresses. He only kept them to show the future generations the power of his family.
In 20 days, the tailor of the palace had made 4 dresses for Abel. They worked almost day and night, and these 4 dresses could only be described as luxurious. Since there was no time to embroider, they could only inlay some jewelry to make them look luxurious.
Abel chose a bright yellow hunting suit with a black cape with golden patterns on it.
On his head was a golden crown inlaid with perfect diamonds. On his hand was a pair of white lambskin gloves, and on his hand was a scepter made of green tourmaline.
With his 2 meters tall body, this dress made for a king, and the combination of the crown and scepter, he looked very intimidating.
Especially since the war had only ended less than a month ago. Although he had turned all of his murderous spirit into the Knight's aura, it still leaked out unconsciously.
This increased Abel's prestige even more. The steward of Burbage, the tailor of the palace, and the 2 maids all lowered their bodies.
"Not bad, I like it very much!" As a smile appeared on Abel's face, the aura suddenly disappeared. He had discovered the problem and used the Transformation Necklace to hide his aura.
The royal tailor heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude. The king's satisfaction was his reward.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to wait in the banquet hall. You're the king and the host. You can show up when the guests arrive!" Burbage reminded him in a low voice.
"No, I don't care what the other kings do. Many of them are my friends. I need to wait for them in the hall!" Abel shook his head and rejected Burbage's kindness.
"Your Majesty, as a powerful king, you can do whatever you want!" Burbage quickly corrected himself.
When Abel arrived at the banquet hall, Bartoli was standing outside the door. Bartoli had changed into a female official's outfit, but the intermediate wizard badge on her chest was a constant reminder that she was a powerful intermediate wizard.
Bartoli was going to greet the guests in place of Abel. Since there were many powerful wizards and nobles among the guests, intermediate wizard Bartoli was most suitable to be Abel's personal steward.
"The dwarf Bernie Goff has arrived!" Bartoli's voice emerged.
Abel's heart skipped a beat. Bernie was one of the few friends he had. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
"Guru Abel, Bernie greets you!" Bernie was very polite in public, so he bowed to Abel.
"Bernie, long time no see. How have you been?" Abel helped him up with a smile.
"Everything's been good. Thanks to the grandmaster's wine, our status among the dwarves has risen a lot. The family sent me here to congratulate you!" Bernie also smiled.
"Alright, no need for that. You know I don't care about that!" Abel shook his head and said casually.
"The family knows you don't care about money, so they sent you 100 small-sized war puppets as well as 100 bursting crossbows."
Bernie knew Abel's personality. A wizard like Abel who loved training more than anything else would not care about his status in the world. It was only because of his family. No one could do whatever they wanted.
"Thank your father for me. If your family needs anything, just let me know!" Abel said, very satisfied with the gift.
"I might need your help. Let's talk about it later!" Bernie said after a little hesitation.
As Abel was about to ask more, Bartoli's voice emerged again, "Prince Derek of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis has arrived!"
"Guru Abel, I'll talk about it later!" Bernie said with a bow.
"Alright, I'll talk about it later!" Abel bowed back.
"Guru Abel, I've brought a greeting from His Majesty Ambrose!" Prince Derek bowed to Abel respectfully.
"I've heard a lot about Prince Derek. Thank you for coming. Please send my greetings to His Majesty Ambrose!" Abel bowed back.
"His Majesty Ambrose has brought you a small gift. Four griffin Knights. They will always be loyal to your family!"
Prince Derek clapped his hands, and the four leather-armored Knights knelt down on one knee to pledge their loyalty to Abel.
Abel was a little surprised. The griffin Knight was the most powerful unit in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. It was the only squadron in the human world that was made up of winged cavalry.
The fact that the Kingdom of Saint Ellis could give him such a strategic force showed how important he was to the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
He raised his hand and signaled the four griffin Knights to stand up. He could see that these four griffin knights were only one step away from becoming Grand Knight Commanders.
Most importantly, according to his power of will scan, these four griffin Knights were heavily injured. Although they had recovered, they had used up all their potential. It would be very difficult for them to become stronger in this lifetime.
Abel began to understand why these four griffin Knights were sent here. Although they were only one step away from becoming Grand Knights, their power would slowly decline as time went on.
Even so, this was still the Kingdom of Saint Ellis's good intentions. Even if these griffin Knights had no potential, they were still winged Knights. They were the only winged cavalry knights in the human world.
With these four griffin Knights, there was no teleportation circle in the Duchy of Carmel. If anything happened, the griffin Knights would be there to help.
Also, these 4 griffin Knights were more of a deterrent. Attacks from the sky were always hard to defend against. These powerful flying mounts were the most powerful non-wizard force in the Holy Continent.
"Steward Burbage, arrange a place for these 4 griffin Knights and their mounts!" Abel turned to Steward Burbage and said.
"Yes, your majesty!" Steward Burbage bowed and led the 4 griffin Knights out of the hall.
"Prince Derek, I am very surprised by this gift. Please bring back my gratitude and friendship!" Abel said with gratitude.
Prince Derek couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart when he heard Abel's words of gratitude. These 4 griffin Knights were the gift he had chosen. For this gift, he had resisted many people's objections and begged His Majesty Ambrose to agree.
The reason why His Majesty Ambrose didn't come to the Duchy of Carmel himself was because of his status.
If the emperor of the Kingdom of St Ellis came to the duchy of Carmel, what would he do? Abel's status was not lower than his, and the status of an equal was not compatible with the status of a suzerain. Therefore, King Ambrose couldn't come.
"King Absolon of the Duchy of Thunder has arrived!" Bartoli's voice emerged again.
Abel bowed to Prince Derek and said, "Excuse me for a moment!"
Prince Derek smiled and bowed as he saw Abel off. He knew what happened between the Duchy of Thunder and the Duchy of Carmel, especially how Abel had captured the intermediate wizard Malory from the Duchy of Thunder and threw him to the Liante City Wizard Union.
