Chapter 718: Loyalty

Only Abel and Wizard Dunn were in the hall . Wizard Lorenzo had left earlier .

“Abel, the Kingdom of St Ellis did quite a bit to grant the Duchy of Carmel to you!” Wizard Dunn said with a smile .

“I was not expecting it!” Abel shook his head . He still couldn’t understand what had happened .

“This place belongs to you . Even if you just stay a wizard and don’t want to become a king with this identity, this duchy will go directly to your offspring!” Wizard Dunn said blankly .

“I rather just have Harvest City; a duchy takes too much energy to run!” Abel sighed .

He was not bragging . The only thing that defined him was being a wizard . Humans did not have unlimited energy . If he didn’t put all of it into training, his power would take a hit .

“I’ve told you . The Duchy already has a system of running itself . You are a wizard as well as a Grandmaster blacksmith . No other duchy or kingdom would want to become your enemy . And if you have the right men keeping everything internally in check, you didn’t need to spend much time at all . I hope you can spend more time on training as well!” Wizard Dunn said honestly .

“I know . I want to build a teleportation circle in the palace directly to my magic tower . I will come here to take care of business when it’s essential!” Abel nodded . He understood Wizard Dunn’s good intentions .

“The restaurants you opened in Liante City are driving the Wizard Union mad, but they can’t do anything about it since they are your restaurants!” Wizard Dunn laughed when he heard that Abel was going to build another teleportation circle .

“If the Liante city doesn’t want me to open my restaurants, all they need to do is to let me know . I’ll close them!” Abel said helplessly .

He already had more than enough credit points in Liante City, more than enough to sustain his family for many years .

“I dare them to . You are a wizard in my line . You are not doing anything illegal; the Wizard Union doesn’t have the guts to touch your restaurants!” Wizard Dunn widened his eyes .

Wizard Dunn cared for Abel was beyond words . He was already rank 18, the pinnacle of existence in the Holy Continent . He was a joke if he couldn’t even protect the assets of his followers .

“Even if you want to close those restaurants, the customers in Liante City wouldn’t let you . They are spoiled by the taste of your food!” Wizard Dunn added with a smile .

“Thank you!” Abel said wholeheartedly . There were only 3 members in the Lightnin,g, including Abel, in the Holy Continent . Both Wizard Morton And Wizard Dunn had shown great care to him .

It was hard to become a member of Lightning; you needed to be extremely gifted to do so . Even Wizard William, who was an official wizard as well as the disciple of wizard Morton, was not a member of the Lightning .

“You now have permission to use a super teleportation circle . Your next task is to level up all the way to an elite wizard . You have too many things around you, so don’t let them turn you arrogant . The power of your own body is the most important!” Wizard Dunn lowered his voice .

Abel knew what Wizard Dunn was saying . He could only kill those elite wizards because of Johnson and the crossbows from the dwarfs .

There was more external power Abel had exposed to the world, but Wizard Dunn was right . He had too many external things . Still, if he had not relied on those things, he would have never grown as he did .

“I understand!” Abel said seriously

“I hope you are an intermediate wizard the next time we meet!” Wizard Dunn said with a big laugh and bowed . Afterward, he vanished from the spot .

Abel watched admiringly as Wizard flashed away from the hall . Everything would change when he mastered the move in a flash as an intermediate wizard .

“Burbridge, invite Head Commander Hoover to come here!” Abel yelled from the hall .

“Your Majesty . Earl Brook from the Harry family, Earl Edmund from the Marlo family, and Earl Eno from the Lans family have been waiting for you in the second hall!” Butler Burbridge respectfully came towards the door and bowed .

“Ok, bring them first and tell Head Commander Hoover to come along!” Abel waved and said .

Abel felt burbles of stress after Butler Burbridge bowed and left . For an amateur like him, he really didn’t know how to take care of a Duchy .

He didn’t want to spend too much time on it, so he needed a manager–a manager who could run a duchy well . Abel couldn’t care less about being the figurehead .

In the face of true power, a Duchy couldn’t help him anyway .

“My prestigious majesty!” The 3 earls stepped in and bowed .

“Rise, please!” Abel waved and said .

“Your Majesty, the Harry Family, will forever pay honor to you!” Earl Brook was the first one to speak up .

“Grandpa Brook, we are one and the same . The Harry Family has taken control of the Duchy; you better contribute as much as you can!” Abel said with a smile .

Earl Brook grew excited when he heard these words from Abel . He was initially worried that the Harry Family in Harvest City would put up a barrier with the Harry Family in Bakong City . Although they were from the same bloodline, they had been divided for many years, and their coat of arms was different .

Abel affirmed their status of the Harry family in Bakong City . Although they could not truly become royals, being one of the 4 big families was a minimum .

Abel’s title as king was not like the George family . George had only achieved stability in the Duchy of Carmel through a fair distribution of benefits to the different families .

However, Abel had gathered all the wizards in the duchy to the castle through his power alone . Even if all the families teamed up, they would not be able to overthrow Abel . “Majesty, the Marlo Family pays you our honor! The Lans family pays you our honor!” Both Earl Edmund and Earl Eno stepped up and bowed as well .

The two knew their family was not close to Abel like the Harry Family, so they waited for Earl Brook to finish before they began .

“The Harry Family in Harvest City is not a big family . Me and uncle Marshall will not leave the castle . I hope you can all support me in the future!” Abel said in a low voice .

He knew The Lord of Marshall didn’t want to leave Harry Castle since it reminded him of his wife .

There was only The Lord of Marshall and Abel living in Harry Castle . It was too small to turn it into a castle .

“We will do our best not to disappoint you, your majesty!” The 3 earls bowed .

Regarding the lack of men in Abel’s family, the earls didn’t have much to say as well . Their king was a wizard . Maybe Abel would still be a very young king after a few generations .

“Grandmaster Abel . Did you need me?” Head Commander Hoover stepped in and bowed .

As a Head Commander, he knew that if a person had multiple titles, they would normally be addressed by their most prestigious one .

“Head Commander Hoover, I want you to keep leading the knights of the Duchy!” Abel didn’t know about the knight forces in the Duchy of Carmel too well, but he knew Head Commander Hoover had the power to lead them .

“Grandmaster Abel . There are 10 commanders in the Duchy and 153 official knights . They are at your command at any moment!” Head Commander Hoover bowed .

Ever since he pledged the honor, he had already gathered all the knights in the duchy and made sure there were no arguments when it came to their new king .

“Thank you . I will send some knight training resources over later . I won’t mistreat the knights who serve me!” Abel nodded and took out that knight sword he had given Head Commander Donald, which he later retreated from his corpse .

“I’ll grant this sword to you to thank you for your service to the duchy!’ Abel placed the sword in Head Commander Hoover’s hand .
