Chapter 716: 716

Chapter 716: Funny Domain

The Head of the Benson Family was already kneeling on the floor; now he was shaking even more viciously . 2 elite wizards had arrived and condemned the Duchy of Thunder for offending Abel’s assets . Although he didn’t know what that meant, he knew the Duchy of Thunder would need to make a big sacrifice .

As the person responsible for bringing the Duchy of Thunder into the Duchy of Carmel, he didn’t even want to imagine what would happen to the Benson Family .

“Grandmaster Abel . I’ve asked Wizard Morton, and he said you came here . What a coincidence; I have something to announce as well, so we just saved a lot of time!” Wizard Dunn said in a somewhat mysterious tone .

Abel shivered . What did they need to announce at Bakong City?

“Hoover, it is a good thing you are here . Please let the nobles know about this later . Wizard Lorenzo, you can announce it!” Wizard Dunn said .

“The Duchy of Carmel’s George Family had been condemned for doing business with the orcs . They had been supplying a large amount of military and training resources for the orcs . This formed a big threat to the human race . In regards to race traitors like this, the human wizard union in the Kingdom of St Ellis made a decision: Dethrone Algernon George and banish his family!” Wizard Lorenzo announced .

Head Commander Hoover and the head of Benson were shocked . This was one of kind news .

Nobles, especially royal nobles of a duchy, were above the law . They could buy their way to freedom with wealth, and it was their rights as royals .

However, the Duchy of Carmel’s king Algernon George was dethroned . The place they banish his family was even scarier . It was a deserted land next to Mount Budapest .

A powerful wizard or knight might be able to survive in a deserted place with spiritual beasts lurking around, but it was basically impossible for a normal person .

But if you considered that the George family had betrayed the human race, this was actually not too surprising .

Even a noble could not escape the worst of the worst, and being a race traitor was one of the worst things you could be .

So, what was the Duchy of Carmel without a king? Head Commander Hoover thought . Wizard Dunn had just condemned the Duchy of Thunder for offending Abel’s assets, could it be…

“Grandmaster Abel, you had gained a large amount of war glory from protecting the Miracle Wall . The Miracle Spirit had submitted a noble title granted request for you, and the Kingdom of St Ellis King Ambrose had agreed to grant you the title of a duke . The Duchy of Carmel will now be your domain!” Wizard Lorenzo followed .

A strange look emerged on both head commander Hoover and the head of Benson’s face . They all thought of one thing . Did they banish the George to free up the duke position in the Duchy of Carmel for Abel?

Too many things defied logic . First was the title granted from war glory . How the attack on the Miracle wall had gone down was only commonly known among the kingdoms and the wizard union . Therefore, Head Commander Hoover and The head of Benson knew very little about it .

Head Commander Hoover was the only head commander in the Duchy of Carmel . He could not leave this Duchy, so he wasn’t really connected with the outer world .

The head of Benson also couldn’t imagine the amount of war glory a person needed to be rewarded a duke position . A duke was the highest position anyone could be rewarded . The next step above was the king . Only a small amount of nobles in the kingdom could obtain this position .

Non-royalty couldn’t reach this position . Unless Abel had married a princess, a duke was the highest position he could get .

Another thing that made no sense was that there wasn’t even a ceremony for this dramatic shift . The whole duke granting process was completed just like a little game .

King Ambrose from the Kingdom of St Ellis couldn’t do much about this either . He couldn’t organize a big ceremony just to force Grandmaster Abel to kneel in front of him .

Abel’s status as a Grandmaster Blacksmith was prestigeous in the Holy Continent . With his support from the dwarfs and clear romance with the elves, even King Ambrose was stressed about how he could grant Abel his title .

Abel’s status in the Holy Continent was above everything . He was a wizard, so on paper, he couldn’t interfere with the common world . However, since his Grandmaster Blacksmith Status was higher than his status as a beginner wizard, every wizard had to call him Grandmaster when they saw him .

Therefore without any other option, King Ambrose listened to Prince Dereck’s suggestion and let the wizard union take care of the procedure .

Abel began to question his ears . At first, he didn’t have much to do with the duchy of Carmel, but all of a sudden, it had become his domain .

Although he was a duke, if you had a duchy under your sovereignty in the Holy Continent, your citizens would need to address you by the title of a king . So, Abel had become the King of Duchy of Carmel!

“Grandmaster Abel, you know that title granting is the core of human virtues in the Holy Continent . Countless knights and wizards died guarding the human status, so it would only make sense to reward them with a title and domain! You had so much war glory that an entire duchy was now granted to you!” Wizard Dunn said with excitement as he looked at his successor .

“Wizard Dunn, Wizard Lorenzo . This is too surprising . I don’t have any experience when it comes to running a duchy . As a wizard, I also don’t have much time for it!” Abel shook his head with an awkward smile .

“Grandmaster Abel, duchies are very easy to run . You can just let the nobles take care of everything; you just need to select the most suitable ones!” Wizard Dunn said with a smile .

Abel didn’t know that there were already regulations and laws in place when it came to these long existed duchies . The royals only had one task, select new nobles .

Every noble in the duchy of Carmel controlled their own domain, and they all inherited their own knowledge and experience when it came to running a territory . This was what sustained the stability of the duchy of Carmel .

“Grandmaster Abel, you are the first person granted the title of King by the wizard union!” Wizard Lorenzo said with a smile .

“I pledge allegiance to the prestigious King Abel on behalf of the Benson family; we will forever remain loyal!” The head of Benson regained himself and yelled .

Abel sighed . The head of Benson was too good at talking . No leader in history had ever rejected their first follower . Also, the Benson family had only gone against the George family . It had nothing to do with Abel .

Head Commander Hoover couldn’t help but shake his head as well . He couldn’t help but respect how the head of Benson had managed to turn the situation around .

The smile on the head of Benson’s face was so wide; he almost seemed like a blooming flower . As the first one pledged allegiance to the new king, his status in the Duchy of Carmel would be secured . Also, since the throne had now been claimed, he would no longer be held accountable for bringing the Duchy of Thunder into the Duchy of Carmel .

“Head Commander Hoover, please help me take care of the palace!” Abel turned to Head Commander Hoover .

Head Commander Hoover immediately kneeled and said seriously, “I, Head Commander Hoover, swear on my honor that I will forever remain loyal to king Abel, his majesty!”

“I accept your loyalty!” Abel quickly stepped up and helped Head Commander Hoover up .

“Head Commander Hoover, don’t be like this!” Abel said awkwardly .

A Head Commander in a duchy was extremely prestigious . They didn’t need to pledge allegiance to the king since their power was basically on par with each other .

What head Commanders Hoover had done was showing his biggest support towards his new king, and he had done so genuinely .

Abel looked around the palace, then gazed at the city outside and the land beyond . Just like a movie, the Duchy of Carmel had become his Duchy .
