Abel didn't plan to stay in the Angstrom City Alchemy Union for too long. He couldn't stand the burning gazes from the alchemy union, so he left through the teleportation circle after he got the ingredients for the longevity potion.
However, his appearance had made the alchemists of the Angstrom City Alchemy Union very excited. He had taken 5 portions of the ingredients for the longevity potion, and he didn't need any substitutes.
This meant that Abel was researching the formula of the "longevity potion." This kind of research had stopped in the Alchemy Union for almost a thousand years. Now that it had started again, it was a great encouragement to the alchemists.
However, what they didn't know was that Abel had already returned to his magic tower outside of Harry Castle and began to make the longevity potion.
The difficulty of making 5 portions of the longevity potion was far beyond any potion he had made before. Of course, he didn't fail even once. Every time he succeeded, he would receive a huge amount of alchemy energy.
If he could make 500 portions of the longevity potion, he might be able to fill up his master alchemy pattern.
Unfortunately, in the environment of the Holy Continent, he couldn't get 500 portions of the original master alchemy ingredients. Even if he could find the extinct ingredients himself, it still wouldn't be enough.
After he became a master alchemist, normal potions could no longer give him alchemy energy.
In his opinion, it was almost impossible to fill up a master alchemy pattern unless he could find a herb garden in the Dark World. An extremely rich herb garden.
In the end, he had 5 golden quality "longevity potions" and a dark gold quality "Akara's alchemy bottle." With the world stone's dynamic vision and data analysis ability, as well as his Master Alchemist level, the quality of the "longevity potion" had reached an almost impossible level.
The world stone fragment's data analysis ability scanned the longevity potion. The effect of these 5 potions had exceeded the original formula.
Of course, the original formula only had the effect of a white quality longevity potion. Compared to the golden quality potion that was 2 levels higher, the effect was doubled. It could increase a person's lifespan by 60 years.
Although it wasn't as effective as the Beast God's Blood, which could extend one's lifespan by a hundred years, there were only a few dozen drops of the Beast God's Blood. Once it was used up, it would be gone. However, the Longevity Potion could be concocted as long as the ingredients were found.
On top of that, the longevity potion didn't have any conditions to use, so Abel was very satisfied with its effect.
Of course, he wouldn't show it to others. Just the thought of a potion that could increase a person's lifespan by 60 years was enough to make people excited.
Earl Marshall, Earl Bennett, and his mother Nora were still young. They had taken the full recovery potion before, so they still had at least 100 years of lifespan. The longevity potion was not an urgent need for them.
Wizard Morton, on the other hand, was the only exception. Although his lifespan had increased a lot after his promotion, his body had aged a lot. The "longevity potion" could revitalize his body.
Most importantly, with a longer lifespan, a Wizard would be more relaxed when it came to leveling up, which would greatly increase their chances of leveling up.
Therefore, Wizard Moreton was the first batch of people who needed this potion.
Abel was a person who did things without thinking. He directly flashed into Wizard Moreton's magic tower. He had a lot of authority in Moreton's magic tower, so he didn't need to report his arrival.
However, he would not flash into Wizard Moreton's room. Instead, he went to the hall on the first floor. As soon as he appeared, the tower spirit would notify Wizard Moreton.
When Abel appeared in the hall on the first floor, he saw Carlos and Camille eating. Their wizard apprentices Peggy and Joey were standing on the side.
"Carlos, Camille, you guys are going to become official wizards soon!" Abel was pleasantly surprised to see his two fellow apprentices were already full. They could level up at any time, so he couldn't help but smile and greet them.
Hearing Abel's tone, Camille's face was full of smiles. Abel had recently become a king and an intermediate wizard. She was constantly bombarded with news, but it seemed like Abel had not changed. He was still the same Abel.
"Abel, after I become an official wizard, shouldn't you give me something?" Carlos didn't think as much as Camille, so he just smiled and said.
"After you level up, each of you will have a magic tower and a top level magic staff!" Abel said generously.
"That's so generous! I'll sell them to the Duchy of Carmel from now on!" Carlos rubbed his hands together. It seemed like he was going to level up immediately. The magic tower and magic staff were just in front of him.
"Carlos, wipe your drool. You're so embarrassing!" Camille said as she kicked Carlos.
Carlos quickly wiped his mouth with his hand, but he couldn't find any drool. He couldn't help but look at Camille. Camille was trying to hold back her laughter, and Abel couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Abel, come up here and talk!" Wizard Moreton's voice emerged from the hall on the first floor.
"I'm going up!" Abel said with a smile. Afterward, a white light flashed on his body, and his body disappeared.
Camil and Carlos looked at each other. Their eyes were full of envy. This was a wizard, a real wizard. A wizard who couldn't move in a flash wasn't a wizard at all.
Determination flashed in their eyes. At the same time, they felt like they were getting closer and closer to leveling up.
"Teacher!" Abel said with a bow after he appeared.
"Sit down and talk. You've been very busy recently. If you don't have anything to do, you won't come here. Say it, what's the matter?" Said Wizard Moreton waving his hand.
Abel sat down on a chair and took out a bottle of "longevity potion" that was flashing with golden lightning from his portal bracelet and handed it over.
Wizard Moreton took the "longevity potion" and looked at it. He then looked at Abel.
"I don't know what this potion is, but if I'm not mistaken, this is a master level potion!" Wizard Moreton didn't know what kind of potion it was, but he could sense its level through his power of the will.
"A golden master level potion. If you take this out, the alchemy union in the Holy Continent would go crazy. I don't care where you got this from, but you better not give it away!" Wizard Moreton saw the golden lightning flashing on the potion bottle. From what he knew, to make a potion like this, one had to be at least a grandmaster alchemist, but there were no grandmaster alchemists in the Holy Continent.
The only grandmaster alchemist in the Holy Continent was Master Bennett. He had never heard of a grandmaster alchemist.
Still, he wasn't interested in Abel's secret. Every wizard had their own secrets. How could a wizard not have his own secrets when he was an intermediate wizard from a wizard apprentice to an intermediate wizard?
He just wanted to remind Abel to be careful with his secrets. As Abel's teacher, he didn't have much to teach. The only thing he could teach was how to survive.
"Teacher, this is a" longevity potion "!" Abel smiled. He could feel Wizard Moreton's concern, so he explained.
"A" longevity potion, "Wizard Moreton gently pushed the" longevity potion "back and said with relief." It really is a master level potion. This is too precious. Take it back. I'm confident that I can level up again and again! "
"Teacher, this potion is not that valuable to me. Just use it!" Abel pushed the "longevity potion" back again and said.
"Ok, my teacher's lifespan is almost up. I'll take it for him!" Wizard Moreton hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Abel couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He then took out another "longevity potion" and placed it on the table. He then said, "Then you can have this one!"
The relationship between Wizard Moreton and Wizard Dunn was as deep as Abel and Wizard Moreton. Sometimes, the relationship between a teacher and a student was even stronger than family.
Not all wizards had such achievements at such a young age like Abel. Most of them had family members who left before they became powerful. Only their teachers were the closest family members to them.
"Alright, but you'll have to give this' longevity potion 'to teacher Wizard Dunn yourself!" Wizard Moreton no longer held back. He put away the "longevity potion" and pushed the other one to Abel.
Abel knew Wizard Moreton wanted to use this to strengthen his relationship with Wizard Dunn. Even if wizards were of the same element, only a teacher and a student would have such a deep relationship.
It was very easy for wizards to visit each other. Of course, it was also because both of them were rich and had their own teleportation circle.
This was how Abel went to Wizard Dunn's magic tower. He first sent a teleportation request to the teleportation circle of Wizard Dunn's magic tower, and soon, he received a response.
As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation circle, Abel saw Wizard Dunn waiting by the teleportation circle. This showed how important he was to Wizard Dunn.
"Wizard Dunn, long time no see!" Abel said with a wizard bow.
"Grandmaster Abel, we welcome you as our guest!" Wizard Dunn replied with a wizard bow and did an inviting hand gesture. However, he immediately realized something and said in shock, "Guru Abel, you are already an intermediate wizard?"
"Yes, I just leveled up not long ago!" Abel nodded. He had just leveled up not long ago. A year was a very short time for a wizard.
"You are the most talented wizard I've ever seen!" Wizard Dunn sighed.
Wizard Dunn was not like those wizards who only stayed in the Holy Continent for a long time. He had seen a lot more than those wizards who never left the Holy Continent.
Afterward, Abel relaxed his power of the will, and Wizard Dunn sent a location message through the power of the will. The two of them then flashed to the 18th floor of the magic tower.
Most Magic Towers had two reception rooms. One was the reception room on the first floor, which was usually used to receive guests who weren't close to each other. The other was the reception room on the top floor, which was more private.
The top floor's guest room was mostly used for friends. Abel was the same wizard as Wizard Dunn, and he was also his junior. On top of that, he was also a Grandmaster Blacksmith. Only the top floor's guest room could accommodate him without losing face.
The guest room was very simple. Of course, the life of most wizards was very simple. A short table and 4 chairs were all there was in this guest room.
Wizards rarely used worldly items as decorations in their magic towers, so there were no decorations in this place.
After Wizard Dunn and Abel sat down, a wizard apprentice walked in and poured a glass of water for them. He then bowed and left.
"Wizard Dunn, I've brought a gift today!" After the wizard apprentice left, Abel took out a bottle of 'longevity potion' and placed it on the table.
"This is …" Wizard Dunn picked up the 'longevity potion' and hesitated for a moment. He then looked at Abel in shock and said, "This is a 'longevity potion'?"
Abel couldn't help but admire Wizard Dunn. How much knowledge did it take to pick up a master's potion that had not been seen in the Holy Continent for a long time and call out its name?
"Yes, this is a 'longevity potion'!" He nodded and said with certainty.
"Is it made by Master Bennett?" Wizard Dunn couldn't help but ask.
There was only 1 Master Alchemist in the Holy Continent. Now that a master's potion was in front of him, he couldn't help but ask.
"This …" Abel didn't know how to answer all of a sudden.
"I'm sorry, Guru Abel, I shouldn't have asked!" Wizard Dunn gazed at the golden arc on the potion bottle and felt a sense of regret. How could he ask where this potion came from?
Actually, Wizard Dunn was not as calm as he looked when he saw the 'longevity potion'. He only had 150 years left, and it would be best if he didn't fight during this period of time. Otherwise, his lifespan would be even shorter.
Although he had just reached rank 18, it was getting harder and harder to level up. He wasn't confident that he could fill up his body with mana in 150 years, let alone reach rank 19.
He had also been searching for items that could increase one's lifespan. However, which one of those items wasn't a heavenly treasure? Even if someone managed to obtain one, they wouldn't sell it.
"Teacher said you need a 'longevity potion', so he asked me to bring it to you!" Abel saw Wizard Dunn had stopped asking, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Moreton doesn't have much lifespan left. Let's leave it to him!" Wizard Dunn frowned.
He and Wizard Moreton had both just reached rank a few years ago, but his lifespan was a few decades longer than Wizard Moreton's.
"I saved one for my teacher!" Abel said with a smile.
He looked at the relationship between Wizard Dunn and Wizard Moreton with envy. Although he also had a deep relationship with Wizard Moreton, he had too many secrets. He didn't want to share them with anyone, not even his teacher or his foster father.
"Thank you, Guru Abel. I really need this potion!" Wizard Dunn said as he scanned the 'longevity potion' in his hand with his power of the will. Soon, he asked in confusion, "How come this' longevity potion 'is different from the ones I've seen before?"
"Wizard Dunn, this' longevity potion 'can extend your lifespan by 60 years!" Abel did not explain too much. He just told him the effect.
"60 years? This is an ancient 'longevity potion'?" Wizard Dunn thought the 'longevity potion' in his hand was a modified version of a master's' longevity potion, 'but when he heard Abel say it could extend his lifespan by 60 years, he was shocked.
The effect of an ancient 'longevity potion' was 30 years. With the golden quality, it was exactly 60 years. However, a modified version of the 'longevity potion' could only extend your lifespan by 10 years.
The difference between the two was like heaven and earth. He felt the 'longevity potion' in his hand was a little heavy.
"Wizard Dunn, when the Duchy of Keyen was invaded, why didn't the Wizard Union intervene?" Abel didn't want to talk about the potion anymore. He had already given out the gift. As the king of the Duchy of Carmel, there were some things he needed to know, so he asked.
"Guru Abel, there are some things that people will explain to you when you become an elite wizard. The weather and some strange changes this time are related to another continent. The Holy Continent's food shortage is set in stone, and no one can help. Even the Wizard Union can't do anything about it. They can only let it develop!" Wizard Dunn sighed and explained.
"Wizards won't get involved in the wars between countries?" Abel asked.
Wizard Dunn replied with certainty, "Elite wizards will never get involved. As for those below elite wizards, only those who are worshipped by different countries can get involved. The rest of the wizards will not get involved in worldly affairs." Said Wizard Dunn with certainty.
As the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of St Ellis's Wizard Union, his information was the most accurate.
His answer made Abel even more confused. His wizard rank was still too low, and he needed to train hard. Only elite wizards could see the true face of this world.
"Guru Abel, you need to be careful these days. The Wizard Union's investigation system has found out that many duchies and even empires have sent spies to the Duchy of Carmel. You need to be prepared!" Wizard Dunn reminded gently.
This reminder was beyond his status. Just like he said, the Wizard Union and elite wizards could not get involved in the affairs of the world. But since he had received such a gift, he still needed to give some small help.
"Thank you, I'll be careful!" Abel's eyes flashed with coldness. He immediately thought of the area in Harvest City that was locked down. It seemed like many duchies and empires had already set their eyes on that place. If they wanted to come, they could come!
After returning to Harry Castle, Abel immediately summoned the 4 Griffin Head Knight captains. They were no longer men of sacrifice. Instead, they were lords. Although they did not have a domain yet, as long as they earned enough merits in future battles, they could get a higher title and a domain.
Still, the 4 Griffin Head Knight captains were very satisfied with just a title. They used to be men of sacrifice, and even if they died in battle, they would not have a corresponding reputation. They would only have a title, and even that title would be replaced by a Griffin Knight in the future.
Now that they had become true nobles, they were no longer men of sacrifice. Of course, only someone like Abel could control their power through a magic contract. Otherwise, he would not dare to give the powerful Griffins to a Knight who was not under his control.
By that point, the 4 Griffin Head Knight captains had become the most important guards of Harry Castle. They were the scariest fighting force other than wizards.
Their 10 Griffin Knights had undergone 2 years of training. They could already fight in the air and had formed a fighting force.
Now, the 4 Griffin Head Knight captains and 10 Griffin Knights were all members of Family Harry and Family Bennett. Abel had decided to keep the Griffins, the top flying mounts, in the hands of the family.
If anyone wanted to become a Griffin Knight, they would have to become a member of either family and sign a magic contract.
"Your Majesty, you were looking for us!" Griffin 24 bowed and said.
Griffin 24's name was very strange. His full name was Griffin 24 Harry. He and the other 3 Griffin Head Knight captains did not want to change their names. This kind of name would always remind them of who they were today, who they were grateful to, and who they were grateful to!
"I've just received a report. Recently, the other countries have increased their investigation of Harvest City. I don't think Harvest City's secret can be hidden for much longer. The Griffin squad will increase their patrols and shoot anyone who trespasses into Harvest City's territory!" Abel lowered his voice.
Harvest City was too big. Compared to other cities, Harvest City only had 2 sides that were connected to the inner cities of the Duchy of Carmel. However, even if the Griffin Knights patrolled every day, they still could not block off such a long border.
Now, they could only delay as long as they could. Abel was not afraid of war, but his duchy was still too weak.
In the entire Duchy of Carmel, there were only about 500 knights who could join the Knight squad. Compared to the thousands of Knights in other duchies, the difference was too big.
"Yes, your Majesty!" Griffin 24 replied with a firm expression.
His body began to emit a murderous intent. His good life had just begun, and no one could take it away from him. He knew that even though there were only 14 Griffin Knights, he was confident that he could wipe out the entire Griffin squad of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis with his terrifying attribute Harry's Bow.
Harry's bow itself was a long-range weapon that was beyond civilization. It could shoot arrows that were faster, farther, and more powerful with less power. The attribute gems on it made Harry's bow even more powerful.
Even a normal magic bow would not be used to equip a normal Griffin Knight, let alone a Griffin Knight with the attribute Harry's Bow. Normally, only a few nobles would have a magic bow as their inherited treasure. It was impossible to equip 14 of them.
On top of that, the 4 Griffin Head Knight captains were given a portal bag because of their attribute combat qi and power of the will.
As a result, the Gryphon Knight squad didn't have to worry about arrows in aerial combat.
Afterward, the Grand Knight Of The Bodley was transferred to Harry's Castle to train a team of 300 Knights. Although there were only 500 knights in the Duchy of Carmel that could be recruited into the Knight squad, 300 Knights was the maximum number that could be trained without affecting the normal operations of the duchy.
In the Dark World, Abel did not directly enter the real Tarasha tomb. Instead, he cleared out the other 6 tombs. The souls of the hell creatures in those tombs were the raw materials for the "soul potion." He didn't want to waste them.
On top of that, the Warlock's Canyon outside the tomb had become the base for the ingredients for the "longevity potion." He didn't want any hell creatures to come out and trample on those ingredients.
Time passed by like this. In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Winter was not as chaotic as Abel thought. Among the 7 duchies under the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, other than the Duchy of Keyen and the Duchy of Carmel, the other 5 duchies did not do anything out of the ordinary.
It seemed like everything was in a state of peace, but there was something strange about this kind of peace.
The Duchy of Carmel's intelligence network was crazily collecting information from all over the world and sending it back to the Duchy of Carmel. Abel was no longer ignoring politics like before. Of course, most of the national affairs were left to Earl Bennett and Earl Brook of the Hari family of Gamba.
Right now, he only cared about the situation in the human world. The duchies under the Kingdom of Saint Ellis were too peaceful. They were the first to start a war, but there was no follow-up.
There were all kinds of conflicts between the duchies under the other 2 empires. Although the 2 empires wanted to mediate, they did not dare to send out a large number of troops because of the food problem.
Wizards could not be used casually. Only Knights could be used.
If ordinary Knights were mobilized in large numbers, they would consume a lot of food. Under the current situation, even if the 2 empires had surplus food, they would not use it in a war.
A powerful Knight like a Knight captain was not invincible. Perhaps they could defeat 10 knights by themselves, but a human Knight would never show off his power.
The human Knight could keep winning in the Holy Continent, not because he was strong alone, but because of the Knight battle formation.
Therefore, there was no way the 2 empires would send a Knight captain into an official war. Verbal mediation was useless, so the 2 empires were in chaos.
Actually, it was not that Abel did not have a way to deal with a Knight team, but he would not rely on normal methods. He would rely on his own power.
He had many powerful war machines in his hands, and Johnson was one of them. No matter how many Knights there were, Johnson's body was made of pure iron. It was almost indestructible.
Only powerful elite wizards could hurt it, but according to Abel's estimation, it would be very difficult for wizards below rank 18 to hurt it.
Johnson had the hellish strengthening ability of "mana burn." Among its many attributes, there was a 75% increase in magic resistance, which made it almost immune to most spell damage.
Johnson's lack of a weakness was what made it so scary. However, its damage was limited, and it could only deal physical damage. This made it more like a bulldozer, crushing all the creatures that came close.
The other one was Flying Flame, but Abel would not expose it unless he had no other choice. Flying Flame was a real dragon. If the dragons knew about its existence, it would bring a lot of trouble.
Snow White could not appear on the battlefield. Although an elite spiritual beast was powerful, it was not invincible. Once it entered the attack range of the Knight battle formation, the combined combat qi of the Knight team could easily tear it apart.
Of course, the most destructive one was the commander spirit. It could easily command all the puppets within 10 miles. This was fully demonstrated in the orc battlefield.
The dwarfs were missing a spirit like this. Their puppets could only be used for defense, but they could not be organized in the battlefield. This made the dwarfs' fighting ability on the battlefield not proportional to their forging ability.
In Abel's mind, the Duchy of Carmel should not rely on these forces. If he was not in the Duchy of Carmel, these forces would not stay in the Duchy of Carmel. Then the Duchy of Carmel would not be safe.
He needed a powerful war machine that could stay in the Duchy of Carmel and be used by his family members. It could decide the outcome of the battle.
The new year was approaching. The atmosphere in the Duchy of Carmel was completely different from the other duchies. It was full of joy. The citizens were very happy to have a powerful and capable king.
This made the Duchy of Carmel not fall into a food crisis like the other duchies. Everyone in the duchy had enough food.
