Prince Derek of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had an ugly look on his face. Although he gave Abel the Duchy of Carmel because of his military exploits, he could feel that the Duchy of Carmel was no longer under the control of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
The Kingdom of Saint Ellis originally had 7 big kingdoms, but it was very likely that it would become 6 big kingdoms in the future.
No matter if it was the Kingdom of St Pierrt or the Kingdom of St Anwall, they were all here as equals to the Duchy of Carmel.
"The great Emperor Aldous, I am deeply honored to have you here!" Although Abel was very surprised, his status was not low either, so he stepped up and bowed like any other guest.
"Guru Abel, I've come with the friendship of the Kingdom of St Anwall. I hope to build a good relationship with the Duchy of Carmel!" Emperor Aldous smiled and bowed as well.
With one sentence, he had placed the Duchy of Carmel on equal footing. This was different from Duke Chesterton's words. As the emperor of the Kingdom of St Anwall, his words had no leeway.
Of course, Abel would not reject such kindness. The reason he got the Duchy of Carmel was to give Family Harry and Family Bennett a better place to live. With a good relationship with a powerful kingdom, even if he left the Holy Continent one day, no one would dare to go against the Duchy of Carmel.
The arrival of Emperor Aldous made Abel, who was the center of attention, feel a lot more relaxed. To nobles, a great emperor was much more important than a Grandmaster Blacksmith or a king of a small duchy.
Unlike Prince Derek, the two rulers of the Empires didn't directly talk about the gift. To them, it was very embarrassing to talk about the gift in person.
Abel soon discovered that Butler Burbage was discussing something with the attendants of the two rulers of the Empire. However, he didn't ask too much because new guests had arrived.
Bartoli's voice emerged, "Wizard Cyril from the dwarves has arrived!"
Before he could react, a white light flashed beside him, and Wizard Cyril appeared right next to him with the "instantaneous movement."
Wizard Cyril grabbed Abel's cloak and said, "Guru Abel, let's not talk about anything else for now. Just give me some grandmaster wine. I'm thirsty!"
Bernie covered his face with his hands. Wizard Cyril's seemingly powerful reason made him blush.
"I've prepared enough grandmaster wine, Adept Cyril. You can drink as much as you want!" Abel said with a smile. He then turned to the servant beside him and said, "Bring all the grandmaster wine from the cellar to the hall!"
After the servant bowed and left, Wizard Cyril finally looked at Abel seriously and said, "Guru Abel, why don't you just be a wizard? Why do you want to be a king? This will affect your training!"
Duke Chesterton, Emperor Aldous, Prince Derek, and the other nobles were all stunned. Who would come over to congratulate a new king like this? But when they thought about Wizard Cyril's identity, they felt a little relieved.
The power and mysteriousness of wizards were more desirable than power. Wizards had a long lifespan that everyone envied. If the nobles had a choice, they would rather be adepts than nobles.
However, wizard training required talent. Without the power of the will, you wouldn't even be able to get started.
Abel smiled and explained, "My family is still very weak. We need a place to grow!"
His explanation was also meant for the nobles present. His meaning was very clear. He did not have any ambitions. He just wanted to give his family a stable space to grow.
"That's true!" Wizard Cyril nodded.
Abel's growth was too fast. It was so fast that his family couldn't grow with him.
Other powerful people could grow with their family. After a few decades or even a hundred years, their family would be strong enough to protect themselves.
However, Abel's growth had only taken a few years, and his power had already reached the peak of the Holy Continent. However, his family was so weak that they could only rely on him to protect them.
As Wizard Cyril was speaking, he saw a few servants place bottles of grandmaster wine on the long table in the center of the hall. Afterward, Wizard Cyril turned into a flash of white light and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, a bottle of grandmaster wine was already in his hand.
"Bernie, help me keep an eye on him. Don't let him drink too much!" Abel said to Bernie. He didn't trust Wizard Cyril's alcohol tolerance. The people who came today were all of high status. He didn't want anything bad to happen.
Bernie smiled, "Don't worry, Grandmaster Abel. Although Wizard Cyril is a drinker, he won't let alcohol get in the way of his business." Afterward, he ran towards Wizard Cyril.
"Duke Albert and Lady Carrie of the elves are here!" Bartoli's voice shocked everyone in the hall again.
"Abel!" Duke Albert bowed to Abel as soon as he entered the hall.
It was rare that he didn't use any form of address. Instead, he directly called Abel by his name. It was very friendly.
Lady Carrie bowed quietly and returned to stand behind Duke Albert.
"Duke Albert, why did you come personally?" Abel bowed and said.
"I'm here today on behalf of Angstrom City. Angstrom City is going to form an alliance with the Duchy of Carmel. What do you think?" Duke Albert said with a smile.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to shock all the nobles in the hall. Angstrom City was a big city among the elves. It was very important. If the Duchy of Carmel formed an alliance with Angstrom City, it meant the Duchy of Carmel's status would be far beyond a duchy.
"Angstrom City is a beautiful city. It's my honor to have the Duchy of Carmel form an alliance with this beautiful elven city!" Abel said with a smile.
Of course, this was only a verbal agreement. All the details would be discussed by the nobles.
However, there was one thing that confused Emperor Aldous and Duke Chesterton. They looked at each other and Duke Chesterton said softly, "That's strange. Angstrom City is so far away from the Duchy of Carmel. It would cost a lot for an elf to teleport to the Duchy of Carmel through the Wizard Union."
"Yeah, is there a large-sized teleportation circle in the Duchy of Carmel?" Emperor Aldous also whispered.
"Impossible. Let alone Guru Abel, even the 3 big kingdoms don't have the right to exchange for a large-sized teleportation circle. Although Guru Abel has earned a lot of credit points from his business in Liante City, large-sized teleportation circles are not on the exchange list." Duke Chesterton shook his head. He was quite familiar with the situation in Liante City.
"Maybe I know something!" Prince Derek said with a bitter smile.
Emperor Aldous and Duke Chesterton turned to Prince Derek. They were the ones who knew the most about the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
Prince Derek asked softly, "Do the two of you still remember Wizard Cliff's death?"
"At first, it was a case without a clue, but in the end, Guru Abel killed 3 elite wizards. Since Elite Wizard Cliff also had a grudge against Guru Abel, of course, Guru Abel was responsible for his death!" Duke Chesterton nodded.
"If there really is a large-sized teleportation circle in the Duchy of Carmel, then it would not be Guru Abel's fault. He would be the one who did it!" Prince Derek lowered his voice again.
"What do you mean?" Emperor Aldous was also interested. He couldn't help but ask.
"When Elite Wizard Cliff was killed, his magic tower was lost!" Prince Derek said with a strange look on his face.
"How is it possible to lose a magic tower? It's a 16 story magic tower!" Emperor Aldous knew how big and tall a sixteen-story magic tower was. It was possible to lose anything, but losing a magic tower was something he couldn't believe.
"The Wizard Union of St. Ellis had locked down the news back then. Now, the Wizard Union will not investigate further!"
