Chapter 461 Solici

Both Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem did not expect to irritate the 4 Linate City Elite Wizards with a small gift, but they never interacted much and made many deals together anyway.

By this point, Elite Wizard Nigel realized the piece of parchment was Abel’s wanted order cancellation document. Regret filled his heart. If he knew this earlier, he would have definitely interacted with Abel in person earlier. Abel was short of credit points back then, and maybe he would already have a magic staff for him.

He no longer knew what could exchange a magic staff from Abel. The rate at which Abel was making credit points could make anyone jealous.

But no matter how jealous they got, no one would dare to mess with Abel, especially after this banquet.

“The Kingdom of St Pierrt’s lord of management Duke Sterton, And intermediate wizard Arche is here!” Steward Edwon’s voice emerged again, and everyone froze for a moment.

It was no surprise that intermediate Wizard Arche came since he invited. Abel had invited him because he wanted to thank him for the way he dealt with the Food and Beverage Alliance incident.

However, the Kingdom of St Pierrt’s Lord of management, Duke Sterton, was extremely prestigious. He was the manager of an entire Kingdom, the number one man below the king. This was especially the case in the Kingdom of St Pierrt since the king normally just played around and wouldn’t really care too much. Most of the authority was held by Duke Sterton. Not to mention, he was also the king’s uncle.

It was extremely rare to see an actual authority of a kingdom attending a banquet like this, especially when his name was not even in the invitation letter.

“Grandmaster Abel, I bring you a wishing well from the King of the Kingdom of St Pierrt. I hope our friendship can last for a long time!” Duke Sterton said with a bow. His smile was extremely down to earth; he didn’t look like the authority for an entire kingdom at all.

“Duke Sterton, please let King Manfred know that I sincerely appreciate his wishes, and it’s my honor to have you in my banquet tonight!” Abel said, bowing back.

Duke Sterton then walked closer to Abel. It was the perfect distance to get close to a person without being intimidating. He then said with a smile, “Grandmaster Abel, I never expected you to be this young!”

Wizard Arche, who had come with Duke Sterton, stood behind like he didn’t exist at all. He would not dare step up and interrupt Duke Sterton. Although Duke Sterton didn’t have much fighting power himself, he was still extremely prestigious in their Kingdom. He was a true royal, unlike a branched royal, like Wizard Arche.

“Duke Sterton, being young is not a good thing as a blacksmith, no one will trust you!” Said Abel with a laugh. Of course, he was just joking. He was a Grandmaster; no one would dare to disrespect him in the Holy Continent no matter how young he was.

“Grandmaster Abel, I heard the Kingdom of St Ellis isn’t treating you very well. If you want a change, you can come to the Kingdom of St Pierrt. We’ve saved a large number of resources as well as a baron status for you. The Kingdom will also build a magic tower for you free of charge!” Said Duke Sterton directly.

The entire reason for Duke Sterton’s visit today was to bring Abel back to the Kingdom of St Pierrt. He had enough alluring benefits, and he had the status to make decisions for his Kingdom. On top of that, he already made a good impression with his compensation before.

Duke Sterton wasn’t whispering. Both Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem could clearly hear him. Their faces suddenly changed; he was clearly trying to Abel from them.

“Duke Sterton, Grandmaster Abel is the man of the Kingdom of St Ellis. Don’t you think that behavior is a little overboard?” Wizard Edmond bowed. Although he appeared polite, he was extremely angry in his heart.

“My spirit, is Grandmaster Abel a man of the Kingdom of St Ellis? I didn’t know. I only made this offer because remember Grandmaster Abel was driven out of the Wizard Union of the Kingdom of St Ellis!” Said Duke Sterton innocently.

“We have already discarded Grandmaster Abel’s wanted order. Your news is too late!” Said Wizard Edmond I’m a mocking tone.

“I heard what your Wizard Union also helped the Duchy of Carmel and the Kingdom of St Ellis to scrap Abel’s title!” Said Duke Sterton in a mocking tone as well.

Just when Abel was about to defuse this tension as the host of the banquet, another name suddenly came through the door “the Kingdom of St Ellis’s Duke Ernest is here!”

Abel didn’t know too much about the Kingdom of St Ellis, and he didn’t know who Duke Ernest was. But, he was actually the most important person in the Kingdom of St Ellis.

“Abel, Duke Ernest is the current King of the Kingdom of St Ellis. He is king Ambrose majesty’s blood brother. In a way, he could basically represent Ambrose majesty!” Wizard Morton said softly.

Abel couldn’t even remember all the big nobles in the Duchy of Carmel, let alone the Kingdom of St Ellis. Today was the first time he had heard the King’s name. Before the Kingdom of St Ellis was too above his reach, so he never got the chance to even get close to them.

He no longer wants to make an impact to impress for status and wealth. To him, life was just about living a peaceful life with his family.

“Duke Ernest, Welcome!” Abel said with a bow.

“Grandmaster Abel, I hope I’m not too much of a bother. I heard the food here is unlike anything in the world, so I want to come and try it out. Please forgive my tongue!” Duke Ernest said in a human and polite tone.

Abel had never interacted with him before. But since anyone who stepped through his door was his guest, he made a welcoming gesture and led Duke Ernest to the living room.

Duke Ernest’s face immediately changed when he saw Duke Sterton. The reason he came today was that his Royal investigation department had reported that the Kingdom of Pierrt had given Grandmaster Abel a top-quality mansion in Liante City as well as 27 restaurants. This was quite a generous move.

In the past, even King Ambrose couldn’t do much about this due to Abel’s wanted order, but now the wanted order had been scrapped. Therefore no matter what, he would not let the Kingdom of St Pierrt take Abel.

That’s why he had sent Duke Earnest to attend Abel’s banquet–he was expecting Duke Sterton to show up as well at all.

“Duke Sterton, your body is strong as always!” Said Duke Earnest with a perfect royal smile. He bowed.

“Duke Earnest, what brings you here. Were you invited?” Duke Sterton bowed back politely as well.

“Duke Sterton, I heard you weren’t invited either. But you still came?” Duke Earnest struck back, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

A shiver began to run down Abel’s back as he watched from the side. It was like watching two old foxes fighting over a fish–but that he was the fish!

Abel shook his head. Just when he wanted to slowly walk off and chat with Bernie, Duke Earnest turned and said, “Grandmaster Abel, I brought a blessing from King Ambrose for you.”

Abel stopped and smiled, “Duke Earnest, my title in the Duchy of Carmel had been scrapped. I’m no longer noble. Let’s discuss this after I regain my title!”

If a Baron title could be taken away this easily, noble families in this world would not even last for a hundred years, let alone a thousand. Normally, a title would last for countless generations, especially those who were awarded a domain.
