Chapter 787: Chapter 787 – Moga City

Chapter 787: Moga City

Abel already had the Master Alchemy pattern . He just needed to learn metallurgy, and he could immediately create materials only Master Alchemists could make .

The flying boat was every dwarf’s dream . It’s significance and usefulness reached beyond the Holy Continent . The dwarfs had spent countless efforts, but they just couldn’t cultivate a master alchemist .

Every single master alchemist that appeared in the Holy Continent specialized in potion-making, and they would dedicate all their time and effort to it . Therefore, they wouldn’t even think about doing metallurgy .

This was what always kept the dwarfs’ flying dream a dream, but now Abel, a friend of the dwarfs, had successfully become a master alchemist . Although he too specialized in potions, he could easily become a metallurgist .

It was a chance for the dwarfs, a chance they waited for countless years .

Bernie’s request sent Abel to contemplate . His friendship was very important to him, Harry Castle, and the Duchy of Carmel .

When Abel was in trouble, the dwarfs sent out elite wizards to help him . The dwarfs supplied his battle fort, those little war puppets, and even those bursting crossbows . Although they were mutually traded, Abel had taken big advantage of them .

The dwarfs had helped him too much . He just couldn’t bring himself to say no to Bernie .

“‘ll do it . But I’ll only help you with my Master Bennett identity!” Abel nodded .

“Of course, I did not expose your identity as an elf . I didn’t even tell my father . I just said I know Master Bennett!” Bernie immediately felt his heart lifted and laughed .

Although the dwarfs had many portal objects, the amount of iron ore they needed was still too much to carry with a normal carriage . The iron ore was scattered around the Earth Dividing basin . So most of the time blacksmiths would just go to the mine to do their forgery after the ores had been taken out .

This was not efficient for the communication of blacksmiths and made their lives a lot harder . Most importantly, every mine needed to build new facilities, and the fixed ground fire furnace in cities was not utilized to its full potential .

This was not a problem a teleportation circle could solve . A teleportation circle was very convenient for sending human or decent size objects to faraway places, but they needed to be supported by large amounts of energy .

Therefore, only the most prestigious people, wizards, druids, and big nobles could use it .

The cost of each teleportation for a person was 10,000 gold coins since it would use up the energy of a few rare mana gems .

Not everyone had as many mana gems as Abel . His place did not have a teleportation limit, but if the dwarfs had opened their teleportation circles public, they would not able to sustain it no matter how wealthy they were .

This was why a flying boat was so important to them .

“I’ll head to you once you get everything organized!” Abel thought for a moment and said .

He couldn’t use the Master Bennett identity in Harry Castle, and he didn’t want the dwarfs to know that he was the elf, Master Bennett . He was already a Grandmaster blacksmith . This status was already enough to scare any race .

He almost died in the maggot lair, so heading to the dwarfs might be a good way to relax for a bit . He needed some time to think about how he should control his wizard ability better anyway .

“No need to wait . I already have everything organized . Just come to Moga City with me now . That is where the largest dwarf alchemy union is!” Bernie couldn’t wait anymore .

Abel heard of Moga City . It was a guardian city for the royal dwarf Holy Crown City alongside the Blacksmith Union Kitchener City .

Similar to Kitchener City, violence was also forbidden in Moga City . It was one of the very few fully violent free cities in the Holy Continent . These 2 cities, along with the Holy Crown city, had formed a super protection circle . It was so powerful that even elite wizards could not break it .

After Abel transformed into the elf Master Bennett, he arrived at Moga City with Bernie through the large teleportation circle . It was noon, the earth dividing basin would be burning with the heat of May, but Abel suddenly felt a cool breeze .

They walked out of the teleportation circle, and Bernie waved over a carriage . Afterward, they headed towards the highest part of the city .

The structure of this city was almost a copy of Kitchener City . It made sense considering that both cities served the same function as the Holy Crown City’s defense .

“Abel, you noticed the change in temperature?” An awkward smile emerged on Bernie’s face .

“Call me Bennett . I don’t want you to expose me by mistake!” Abel corrected Bernie . and then followed, “yeah, the temperature is different!”

“Ok, Bennett!” Bernie nodded and continued, “it started changing last year, but this year is the most dramatic . This change is what made crops grow slower . I’m afraid our harvest will decrease!”

Abel could hear the worry in Bernie’s voice . Although the dwarfs had Abel’s watering system, it would be useless if those crops stopped their production .

He was afraid of the legendary long-lasting famine . The dwarfs would take a big hit if it occurred .

According to the legends, one-third of the dwarfs had died in the disaster back then .

Although food preservation exists in the Holy Continent, it was not efficient . It could only last for a few years before crops started to get damage .

The dwarfs did not have much food stored up . Their favorite thing was wine, so they would often turn almost all of their leftovers and imported crops into wine .

They had not been able to buy any crops from humans for a year . If it wasn’t due for Abel’s watering system, they would already be in a food shortage .

Abel frowned . From his report, this food crisis would last at least 10 years . He already locked down the entire Harvest City and turned it into a crops field, but it was still far not enough to support the entire Holy Continent .

It would be a burden to even support 2 or 3 duchies in the human world, let alone other races .

The elves were not populated . If they change up their recipes a little, making it through this food crisis shouldn’t be a problem .

The biggest problem were the humans and dwarfs . There were way too many humans . Although this was what granted them their status in the Holy Continent, a decrease in food production would have the biggest effect on them .

The dwarfs were also at a disadvantage due to their environment . They could grow many crops themselves . Although they had some help, they would still be lacking in some quantity .

“Bernie, if the Goff family is running out of food, I can give some to you . But I don’t have enough for other families!” Abel lowered his voice .

He was a little selfish at heart . He would only help his close friends . He was not the savior of the world .

“Bennett, ill thank you on behalf of the Goff family!” Bernie nodded his head heavily .

Abel was such a good friend for making a promise like this in these times . Although the food shortage crisis had just begun, food had already become the most stable form of wealth in the Holy Continent . It could be traded with anything .

Also, the price of crops had shot up in a short amount of time . With this speed, the price of food could double or even triple in a few months .

However, Bernie knew very well that it was not a matter of wealth . Abel had a whole Duchy to take care of himself, so his gratitude came from his heart
