Chapter 781: Situation

Of course, Abel didn’t actually train in the training room . After he made his first move in a flash, he brought the rune word ‘insight’ back to his own magic tower and went straight to the Dark World . He had more time to practice there .

While he practiced ‘move in a flash,’ many things happened in the Holy Continent . There was the birth of a Master Alchemist in the Holy Continent . , unseen in a thousand years . This master alchemist was an elf, which was no surprise .

Everyone in the Holy Continent knew, only elves were qualified to become a Master Alchemist . And the very few that knew about the truth did not say anything .

Bernie had been waiting in Harry Castle for a few days . But since Abel was doing his training, no one in the castle could get in touch with him .

This training session might last for a long time since Abel needed to master every single intermediate spell . With the aura of the rune word ‘insight,’ as a spell as his speedy spell casting spell, he could learn spells faster than any wizards .

Normally wizards took at least 3 months to master the ‘move in a flash’ even if they were doing it in the training room . However, Abel was confident that he could master every intermediate wizard spell in 3 months by taking advantage of the time difference in the Dark World .

Abel had disappeared, and he was nowhere to be seen in the Duchy of Carmel .

As the winter rolled around, wheat began to grow, but every state in the Holy Continent realized one thing: every crop, including wheat, was not growing well .

This wouldn’t be an issue if it happened regionally, but it was happening throughout every inch of soil .

According to the records of the 3 kingdoms, the dwarfs and elves had gone through a similar thing a year ago . The investigation department had already alerted the human world, but the decrease in harvest was not enough to attract too much attention .

After looking at the reports from the orc empire, elves, and dwarfs, a scary thought struck the human empire . The legendary famine that happened once in a few thousand years had begun .

All of a sudden, the price of food shot up in the human world . Food became the most important resource for humans, so all the powerful duchies had used all kinds of tricks to gather as much food as possible .

The structure was starting to shift . Throughout these years, the duchies in the human world were quite united due to the suppression of the 3 big kingdoms and powerful external threats such as the orc empire .

In the past, even if duchies disagreed on certain issues, there were only a few arguments . It was not enough to spark a war between them .

But ever since the orc empire began to weaken, the built-up tensions between the duchies began to surface, and the decrease in food production could further ignite this breakdown .

A special phenomenon was emerging in the human world . Duchies that were known for their agriculture were often weaker due to the low price of food . Other than feeding everyone in the kingdom, they did not have much other income .

The duchies known for their mining industry were often more powerful since they had more branches of income .

Although the tension between duchies had already been established, the 3 big kingdoms were trying their best to keep it under control .

But the tension was like a volcano . The more you tried to suppress it, the more lava it would gather . Once it reached a tipping point, all of its horrors would unleash at once .

Out of all the Duchies, one duchy remained untouchables, and that was the Duchy of Carmel . This was because nobody was willing to mess with its powerful king .

As for the dwarfs, most of their soils were equipped with a water sprinkling system after a year of hard work . They no longer have to worry about water shortages .

The dwarfs were a united bunch . Once they were dedicated to something, their entire race would join . Their vast increase in land had made up for their decrease of harvestable crops . In the past year, they were already able to sustain themselves .

Grandmaster Abel’s image increased once again among the dwarfs . This time not because of his forgery, but the water sprinkling system he had created . It was a simple watering system, yet no one had thought about it before .

Just like that, water towers quickly developed among the dwarfs . All Abel did was alter his original water sprinkling system a little to fit the terrains of the dwarfs, and it had completely solved their water shortage .

Abel was already very friendly with the dwarfs due to his relationship with the Goff family and their Blacksmith Union . Now, almost every dwarf would treat him with extreme gratitude .

This meant the duchy of Carmel had the dwarfs support . It was no wonder why no other duchy would want to mess with it .

Every shop in the duchy of Carmel had gained an extra supply chain, which was the Harvest City . Seemingly endless supply of food was delivered out from this city in lockdown, supplying every shop in the duchy of Carmel .

After supplying spring water for the soils of Harvest City and the entire Orwell Valley, the Third Goddess fountain’s water level had stabilized .

The only reason Abel had used the third goddess fountain water in such vast amounts of land was that he had a duchy, and Harvest City was located in a special area . It was located in the far south of the Holy Continent, far away from any Duchy, which made it very safe .

Of course, everyone in the city who made contact with the spring water had signed a magic contract to keep this secret .

On the other hand, the Orwell Valley is surrounded by magic circles . Its safety was a guarantee .

Just like that, Harvest City and Orwell Valley producing crops without anyone noticing . Still, Abel could not be the savior of the world . He could only stabilize his own duchy and help some friends with certain conditions .

After 3 months, Abel came out from his training session and arrived at Morton magic tower . He then returned the rune word ‘insight’ to the spell training room and teleported to the palace of Bakong City .

Steward Burbridge quickly stood straight when he saw Abel . He bowed and said,

“Your Majesty, the report is here . We have some important news!”

He had been very busy recently . Although the duchy of Carmel was quite peaceful, the entire kingdom was in crisis . The tension between duchies did not subside, and many lords had tried to get in touch with Abel through steward Burbridge .

However, no matter how hard he tried, all they got was a message saying Abel was doing his training .

It was at that moment he realized how much of a hassle it was to have a wizard as a king . No matter how stressed those lords were, nothing in the common world could affect a wizard’s training .

“Speak, what’s so important?” Abel nodded . This was the first time he showed up in months . He needed a report to keep him up to date with the outer world .

“The important news is that every duchy is going through a decrease in food production . The famine has come true . Perhaps a big war will break out among the duchies!” Steward Burbridge said respectfully .

“The Duchy of Carmel was not affected, right?” Abel lowered his voice .

“Yes, even though the food production of the duchy of Carmel had decreased as well, your old domain Harvest City had been a stable source . The food supply of the Duchy is now stabilized!” Burbridge bowed .

“Good . No need to care about other duchies . We are not afraid of them . If anyone messes with us, tell Head Commander Bodley and Head Commander Hoover to teach them a lesson . If you need any wizard for help, call my teacher Wizard Morton . He will organize some wizards for you!” Abel said dully .

Actually, just a team of knights with Abel’s gear could destroy a duchy .
