“Headmaster Abel, you acted a bit too quick this time. Next time let me know beforehand!” Headmaster Eugene sighed after the God Rank wizards left.

“Headmaster Eugene, things happened all too swiftly, and I didn’t want to get the dragons involved!” Abel explained hastily.

“Headmaster Abel, you are a Dragon Headmaster, so your decisions are the dragons’ decisions. The dragons need your support, but remember that the dragons will support you as well!”

“Understood!” Abel bowed to Eugene’s sincerity.

“The most powerful wizards of the Wizard Union are still out there, and us dragons are the same. When the time comes, the most powerful God Rank dragons will return!” Headmaster Eugene smiled in anticipation.

“Since the dwarves are vassals of the dragons now, do you want to come take a look?” Abel invited him.

“Haha, the dwarves are the best builders in this world. With them on our side, we will be able to operate even more ocean cities!” Headmaster Eugene’s eyes began to sparkle.

The dragons’ control over the ocean had always been limited, not just because there were too many God Rank sea monsters, but because they needed someone to build ocean cities for defense.

The ocean was way too big, so protecting a territory was much harder than taking them.

The dragons’ population was always small, and their numbers could not match the sea monsters even if they used pseudo-dragons.

Therefore, ocean cities with Teleportation Circles were crucial so that powerful dragons could quickly come for support during an invasion.

However, building things was not an easy thing for the dragons.

Since Abel had mentioned that the dwarves were now vassals of the dragons, that meant they could go out and do work for the dragons!

After all, the dragons still had much more in reserve when it came to power. They were much stronger than they seemed on the surface.

As an example, there was that Small World at Dragon Island. It was not something easy to make, and its creator, the Dragon God, still did not show himself.

With such a powerful force supporting them, the dwarves would have a much easier time against the Wizard Union!

——

Abel and Headmaster Eugene landed in front of the Dwarves’ Royal palace. Wizard Fara, Yoby, and the other wizard dwarves were already waiting.

Abel smiled and announced to them, “Everyone, the dwarves are no longer in danger, and you are now vassals of the dragons!”

Excitement began to spark among the dwarves. At first there were some dwarves against Yoby’s decision to pledge allegiance to Abel, but they all changed their minds after they saw so many Half-god wizards ready to go after them.

As for worshiping the Mountain God, the dwarves had decided that for themselves after thousands of years of attempted indoctrination, and the Wizard Union’s actions had left them very disappointed.

Considering how many dwarves there were worshiping the Mountain God, the Wizard Union would have ended the dwarves if Abel had not stopped them.

“Headmaster Abel, us dwarves will forever remember what you did for us!” Wizard Fars exclaimed with a deep bow.

“Not just me, Headmaster Eugene also came to stop the God Rank wizards, so you should thank him, too!” Abel bowed back cheerfully.

“Thank you, Headmaster Eugene!” exclaimed Wizard Fara and the dwarves, bowing to him.

Headmaster Eugene smiled. These dwarves really were an easy bunch to please!

They were Abel’s people, but since Abel had agreed to it, they would be helping out the dragons and building a lot of things in the future.

“Fara, I won’t get involved with how the dwarves are run internally, so just continue with what you have been doing!” Abel continued.

“Yes, Headmaster Abel!” Wizard Fara bowed again.

Yoby let out a big breath of relief. As the heir to the throne, he was really afraid that Abel would make some big changes and cause chaos among the dwarves. After all, this was a huge change for them!

——

Just like that, this ground breaking news spread throughout the continents.

The dwarves had gone through a lot of ups and downs throughout their history, but they had always been a part of the Wizard Union for the past few millennia.

All of a sudden they were a vassals of the dragons, and under their protection?

Many dwarves just couldn’t believe it, especially the powerful wizard dwarves.

Headmaster Abel was famous, but what had happened had truly pushed his name to every corner of the world. All the subcontinents wanted further confirmation from the central continent. Their Teleportation Circles were basically on constant operation, but this impact was still small compared to the reaction of the Wizard Union.

What had happened over the Furnace Fort was disclosed in detail to every dwarf. They all realized the Wizard Union was trying to end their race.

Dwarves working in the Wizard Union began to resign one by one, and many construction projects came to a halt.

Without the crucial architects, it would be a long time until the Wizard Union fully recovered. After all, the dwarves were gifted builders by nature.

Still, the Wizard Union did not stop those dwarves from resigning. It was not because they couldn’t, but because it wasn’t worth the risk to provoke Abel again over such trivial matters.

——

Time slowly went by. After ten days, the impact from the loss of the dwarves was even more pronounced.

Although the Wizard Union had prioritized a construction team to repair the Howling Castle, it was still not the same.

The defense wall of Doomsday was a problem as well. There were many systems only the dwarves knew how to repair, and now they were stuck.

These were only the most crucial impact, but problems were now occurring all throughout the central continent.

——

As for the dwarves themselves, they thought they would have nothing to do after they left the Wizard Union, but they were wrong.

The dragons used large amounts of sea treasures to pay the dwarves for their labor. Soonnew defenses began to emerge from islands in the ocean.

With such great protection and rewards, the dwarves felt honored like never before.

With this incident, some information that had been kept secret also spread, such as the fact that Abel had saved four gods from the Wizard Union headquarters.

After all, the people in the know knew the Mountain God had been captured by the Wizard Union and his weapons had been on display.

How did he escape? The Wizard Union might have wanted to conceal the situation, but the powerful could still get their hands on some information if the Wizard Union did not kill them.

Meanwhile, the God of Black Fog, the Ice God, and the Goddess of the Hunt also began to spread his faith while they stayed in their own Kingdoms.

——

Just like that, another month went by.

The Furnace Fort was getting even more vibrant. Since Abel did not interfere with how the dwarves worked, and they were no longer bound by the Wizard Union, they began trading with different races.

At the end of the day the dwarves were still the best blacksmiths, architects, and metallurgists around!

Slowly, the dwarves were realizing how much better their lives were getting. Not only were they getting more work requests, they also had the support of the dragons and access to all kinds of resources and potions.

Of course, they were not all potions from Abel, because doing so would basically kill him from overwork.

But he left a request to the elves’ Potion Maker Union, telling them to meet the dwarves’ demands if they could.

Since Abel had left the elves as Grandmaster Bennett, he had an astronomical amount of credit from his supplies of lotions and conditioners. With the dwarves now serving under him, they would be treated accordingly.

This was almost unimaginable to the dwarves, since one of the biggest restrictions the Wizard Union had on them was their access to potions. It was why it was very difficult for them to become legendary wizards.

All they had been supplied with was enough to do their forging!

With such a hopeful atmosphere, it only made sense the dwarves would start to get more powerful.

——

Abel connected to the Mountain God through the soul chain and sensed countless streams of Faith.

Since the Mountain God’s analytical skills were very strong inside his Kingdom, a clear number was reflected to Abel.

Eighty-five million followers, and a big bunch was coming from the subcontinents!

Considering how far away they were, those dwarves from the subcontinents had to be worshiping the Mountain God in a huge group.

Still, considering how new their faith was, the Mountain God did not have many extremely loyal followers there yet.

Still, a river of Faith gushed into the Mountain God’s Kingdom. In just a short amount of time, the amount of Faith he was receiving had doubled!

The dwarves were fully under Abel’s control, spiritually and on paper.
