Chapter 710: How To Reward
Chapter 710: How To Reward
"Carlos and Camille will soon become official wizards!" Abel said with full confidence.
He had an endless amount of resources coming from Liante City. This greatly benefited the training of those apprentice wizards in his domain. Especially with that huge mana gathering circle, the mana had gotten a lot more concentrated. All the conditions for those apprentice wizards to become official wizards were met.
"Yes, the mana here is amazing!" Wizard William said in admiration.
Since Abel is back, tell him what you are thinking, William. The magic Abel built for you can't stay empty forever!" Wizard Morton interrupted.
Abel was caught off guard a little. At first, he thought Wizard William was only living with Wizard Morton because they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
He suddenly realized that William was actually here to talk about the 6 stories magic tower he had prepared.
"Abel, a magic tower is too expensive. I can't just take it off your hands. I have been saving up some credit points. I might have enough points to buy your magic tower in 50 years. Until then, I'll just live with teacher here!" Wizard William said with certainty.
"William, you're misunderstanding. I'm not giving you a magic tower for free. This is my domain. My magic towers are the benefit of living in my domain as a wizard!" Abel explained.
"But..." wizard William was about to say something, but Wizard Morton soon interrupted him.
"William, I get what you mean. But Abel is not only my disciple. He is also the ruler of this Earl domain. We are all under the benefit of his domain. Just look at my magic tower, look at Murphy's magic tower, and Yveline's. They were all provided by Abel."
"William, other than those magic towers, I will also provide magic towers for Carlos and Camille when they become official wizards. You know I have a 6 six magic circle here. The more magic towers I have, the more powerful the circle will be!" Abel added.
Wizard William hesitated a little and said, "Yes, teacher!" He then turned to Abel and added, "Thank you, Abel!'
Abel and Wizard Morton began to crack up, and William began to laugh as well. Those two were slowly turning from a pair of strangers to close friends.
In the south palace of the Kingdom of St Ellis royal palace, King Ambrose frowned as he stared at an official document sent from the Miracle City. The symbol of the Miracle City was clearly stamped on top.
"Grant title for war glory; This is the basic reward for helping the Holy continent defend against the orcs, but what should I do about Grandmaster Abel's war glory?" King Ambrose continued to frown as he looked towards that almost impossible number.
34,477 points of war glory. That was Abel's achievement. Since he had left the Miracle City, his war glory had to be exchanged to a corresponded domain as a reward.
The human knight system was a core reason why humans could maintain their place in the Holy Continent, and grant title for war glory was a fundamental of how this system functioned.
Countless knights had risked their lives for battle just for this. War glory had represented titles and domain. Every knight knew this. Anyone who broke this rule would become the enemy of humans.
King Ambrose was feeling distressed. Abel's achievements were too great, so great there was almost nothing he could give him.
"Your Majesty, we can't delay the rewards for grandmaster Abel. If not, the other two kingdoms will intervene!" Duke Ernest lowered his voice.
"I know, but what should I do?" King Ambrose couldn't help but lift his hand and ask.
That's right. Abel's vast amount of war glory had basically reached the pinnacle of domain granting, which was duchy granting. But the 7 big Duchy already had their owners; were they going to kick one of them out?
"Your Majesty, the Duchy of Carmel's power has been on a decline, can we..."Duke Earnest asked hesitantly.
"No; even though Duchy of Carmel's power is on the decline, we still have the Wizard Union branch headquarters there. Also, the Duchy of Carmel is in the center of the kingdom; it is very important to us!" King Ambrose had made himself very clear. He didn't want to grant an important domain to a powerful wizard like Abel.
If Abel had taken control of the Duchy of Carmel, his power would threaten the other duchies nearby. This could greatly affect the sovereignty of the kingdom of St Ellis. That was the last thing King Ambrose wanted to see.
Suddenly, elder prince Derek spoke up, "Father. I heard that elite wizard Dunn and the investigation department in Liante City are sending out men to investigate families that do businesses with the orcs!"
"We are discussing what we should grant Grandmaster Abel; what does this have to do with it?" King Ambrose asked in confusion.
Elder Prince Derek was the number one candidate for inheriting the Kingdom of St Ellis. He was also the head authority of the investigation department in the Kingdom of St Ellis; One of the most powerful figures in the kingdom.
Of course, most of this was because he was King Ambrose's eldest son, but Prince Derek did not disappoint King Ambrose. Most of the lords had already accepted him.
"Father, I've been looking through some documents and found something very interesting!' Said Prince Derek with a laugh.
"What is it?" King Ambrose asked.
"Prince Middleton George from the Duchy of Carmel was sent to Murray City due to tension he had with Grandmaster Abel. He was granted a 100 square mile domain without a title!" Prince Derek said with a laugh.
"Prince Middleton George. I remember he was the 7th prince. A prince was kicked out to a foreign place with only a 100 square miles domain, without a title. It seems like the Duchy of Carmel must be furious at Grandmaster Abel!" Duke Earnest said while shaking his head.
"Yes. I did a little bit of checking. This was because prince Middleton George had provided a mansion for the orcs to live as well as doing some trading with them!" Prince Dereck lowered his voice.
There were no impenetrable walls in this world. Although they didn't know about this at first, the investigation department in the Kingdom of St Ellis began to work after Prince Middleton George was kicked out.
If the investigation department in the Kingdom of St Ellis wanted to know something, nothing could stop them. Therefore, this information had landed in their hands at last.
Due to this, Prince Derek had searched everything in regards to Abel, this information included.
"So you are saying the Duchy of Carmel's George family has a way to connect with the orcs?" King Ambrose grasped the main point.
"Yes, according to my report, the George family has always had connections with the orcs!" Prince Derek nodded.
If any prince wanted to do business with the orcs, they had to contact the orcs first. A prince couldn't do business with the orcs entirely without the help of the Duchy.
This was a fact. Since the investigation Department in Liante City and Wizard Dunn had teamed up to investigate the ones who had done business with the orcs, this information might soon get exposed. Then, the George family would be immediately overthrown.
"Haha, nice job Dereck. Grandmaster Abel will probably be very happy to have full sovereignty over his home, Duchy!" King Ambrose said with a laugh.
Soon, this information had landed in the hands of Elite Wizard Dunn. Since this had to do with Abel and Abel was his successor, he had soon forwarded this information to the investigation department in Linate City as well.
"It seems like King Ambrose is very generous with Abel's war glory. The intention behind this document is way too clear!" Elite Wizard Lorenzo had just received a document from WIzard Dunn. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr, what is this document about?" An intermediate wizard in the investigation department asked.
"You still need an explanation? Quickly take down the George family and give way to Grandmaster Abel!" Wizard Lorenzo gazed over at the intermediate wizard.
He had quite a lot of good interaction with Grandmaster. But even without those interactions, it would be disrespectful not to offer a helping hand in simple things like this. No one would stand on the side of an obsolete family in the face of a powerful Grandmaster Blacksmith, who was confirmed to have the power of an elite wizard many times over.
