Abe the Wizard Chapter 1031 - Negotiate

Chapter 1031: Negotiate

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Abel had a giant teleportation circle in this place, so connecting to the external world was simple. It didn’t take much time for Big Druid Joseph to help Abel send out his invitations.

In less than 10 minutes, the G.o.ddess temple’s big druid Lucia and the palace’s Big Druid Lendo arrived in Abel’s main building lounge.

“The prestigious Master Bennett!” They bowed.

“Big druids, please have a seat!” Abel replied with a smile and stuck out his hand.

After they carefully took a seat, the servants brought on a gla.s.s of juice.

“Master Bennett, why did you invite us here today?” Big Druid Lendo knew Abel wanted to discuss something important since even Big Druid Lucia was by his side.

“Have you heard the latest report from the wizard union?” Abel lowered his voice.

“The temple did!” Big Druid Lucia gazed at Abel and gently bowed.

She knew which report Abel was talking about; it was only something the most important members of the Central Continent would know about.

If the demon from beyond really was about to be reawakened, the G.o.ddess of the moon would be a crucial support to the wizard union, so they had to let the G.o.ddess temple know at first hand.

She didn’t expect the wizard union to view Abel so highly that they were willing to share this kind of information with him.

“Big Druid Lendo, please keep the following words a secret. I need the royal palace’s support!” Abel hadn’t expected the elf royal palace’s status to be so low, so he lowered his voice.

“Yes, I swear with my honour!” Big Druid Lendo said with a serious tone.

“The latest report from the wizard union have speculated that the demon from beyond will reawaken in the next 100 years!” Abel looked at Big Druid Lucia and turned back to Big Druid Lendo.

“Yes, the temple is very shocked by this report and we immediately contact the great G.o.ddess majesty!” Big Druid Lucia nodded.

Big Druid Lendo felt his breathing tense. He knew the Holy Kingdom remained in defensive because of the Sky Demon’s slumber.

If it was going to wake up again, the Central Continent would be in chaos.

“I’ve signed an equal contract with the tree of life under the testimony of the G.o.d of Moon!” Abel then continued.

Although the elves knew he signed a contract with the tree of life, they never knew what kind of contract it was. This was the first time Abel declared it.

A look of admiration emerged on the druids’ faces. The tree of life was like a second G.o.d to the elves. Like the G.o.ddess of the moon, they placed their faith in it.

Therefore, it was a big surprise to them that Abel had signed an equal contract with it. At first, they speculated that it was a servant contract or a one-sided contract, but never an equal contract. That was basically pus.h.i.+ng Abel to an equal status with the tree of life.

“Ive also got a report from the Wizard Union what the tree of life is still being targeted by the Evil Kingdom. There was nothing they wouldn’t do for the demon from beyond!” Abel lowered his voice.

“Master Bennett, what are you planning to do?” Big Druid Lendo said desperately.

“Ive ordered a batch of sky s.h.i.+ps equipped with giant war machines from the dwarves to increase our power. We need all the power we can get, so I’ll nudge the dwarves to speed it up soon!” Abel replied.

“The dwarves can make sky s.h.i.+ps?” Big Druid Lucia gasped.

Both of the big druids were among the few who inherited the ancient elf knowledge, so both of them knew what a skys.h.i.+p was and how hard it was to make one.

“I’m not only a master potion maker, but I’m a master metallurgist as well!” Abel said bluntly.

His words made the big druids feel insignificant all of a sudden. A single school of study could already take the life out of an elf to explore, and Abel was an expert in two schools.

At that moment, they realized how the dwarves have figured out a way to make skys.h.i.+ps. It was because of Master Bennett’s input.

Considering how powerful Master Bennett was as a potion maker, was his metallurgy skills just as impressive?

If Abel did not serve the elves, but the dwarves, perhaps he would have been known as the number one metallurgist in the Central Continent!

“Master Bennett, the Royal palace will be accountable for all expenses. You don’t need to pay a single penny!” Big Druid Lendo quickly added. He knew how hard it was to purchase war machines from the dwarves, let alone skys.h.i.+ps. There was no way they could do it without the help of Abel.

“Other than this, the reason I’ve gathered you two here today is to discuss setting up a line of defence outside of the tree of life. I’ve already ordered what’s needed from the dwarves. All i need now is an approval from the royal palace and the temple!” Abel didn’t care about expenses. He was a tyc.o.o.n all around.

“Master Bennett, an elf suggested something similar a long time ago, but it was never excecuted because every tree near the tree of life are it’s children. A defence would affect them!” Big Druid Lucia explained.

Abel thought for a moment and said, “I’ll talk to the tree of life and move the trees somewhere else to make a s.p.a.ce!”

“If you can do that, then it will be amazing!” Big druid Lucia smiled.

“It shouldn’t be a big ha.s.sle since many trees outside of the tree of life valleys were destroyed from the Evil Kingdom’s last attack. There is already a small empty s.p.a.ce there!” Abel added.

“Master Bennett, the royal palace will cover the cost for those defence gears as well and I will organise some experienced elves and dwarfs to move the trees!” Big Druid Lendo was a huge support of Abel’s idea. He was always worried about another invasion from the Evil kingdom. Abel had already done so much. How could he not do anything?

“Big druid Lendo, that’s not enough. The Royal Palace also have to strengthen their investigation department so the evil kingdom won’t be able to set up a teleportation circle near Bay Law City again!” Big Druid Lucia interrupted.

She was very disappointed in the elves investigation department. After all, the Evil Kingdom was only able to set up a giant teleportation circle outside of the kingdom’s city because of their uselessness.

“We are already trying our best to strengthen our investigation system. We recruited many new members, I promise a similar thing will not happen again!” Big Druid Lendo nodded.

“Big Druids, the safety of the tree of life is in our hands. I will also take out a badge of light healing potions and mana potions as back ups!” ABel finally stood up and bowed.

“Master Bennett. The great G.o.ddess majesty will be thankful for everything you have done for the elves!” The 2 big druids also stood up and bowed back.

…..

Abel and Frankenstein stepped out of the teleportation circle and immediately saw Bernie greeting them. It was just that Wizard Hutton was no longer by his side. Instead, there was this intrigued wizard dwarf with some scars on his face.

“The prestigious Master Bennett and Law defying wizard Frankenstein, the wizard dwarves welcome you to Furnace Fort!” A wizard named Bunyan stepped up and bowed.

“Wizard Bunyan. It is my glory to be in the best place of forgery in the Central Continent!” Abel smiled and bowed back.

“Bernie, why are you here alone. Where’s your teacher?” Abel turned to Bernie and asked.

Bernie’s was looking a little different on the day. There were mana waves running through him. Maybe he already became a rank 1 apprentice wizard in just a few days.

“My teacher was kicked away by Wizard Bunyan, so he is the one greeting you instead!” Abel gazed at the funny-looking Wizard Bunyan and said.

Abel suddenly remembered. Wizard Hutton only had the chance to bring Bernie in because he defeated some other law-defying wizard.

“Master Bennett. This kid Bernie should follow me instead. He is still rank 1 after all these days!” Wizard Bunyan padded Bernie’s shoulder and smiled.

Abel and Bernie speechlessly exchanged glances.

“Wizard Bunyan, do you want to invite Master Bennett and Wizard Frankenstein to the palace before we continue?” Bernie reminded him.

“Yes, yes, lets head to the peak!” Wizard Bunyan suddenly realized how embarra.s.sing he was being by talking outside of the teleportation circle.

As they stepped away, Abel immediately picked up a familiar smell of furnace burning and the familiar sound of iron striking.

The Furnace Fort was a giant mountain peak merged with a city. It got its name because the whole thing looked like a giant furnace.

Wizard Bunyan knew it was Abel’s first time in the Furnace fort, so he walked slowly and introduced this most important dwarf city to Abel.

Since the wizard union had full control over the Central Continent and wars were rare, the dwarfs could focus on quality instead of ma.s.s production like the Holy Continent.

This was why their forgery skills were so much better in the Central Continent. Almost everything here was a magic object.

Of course, the most crucial work of the dwarves were those giant war machines, especially since the Evil Kingdom had invaded the elves and Barbarians. Naturally, the dwarves had gotten an immediate increase in demand for them.

The entire Furnace Fort was hard at work, almost like the city had transformed into a giant Forgery Guild.

As they kept walking, Abel began to admire how many gifted blacksmiths the dwarfs had. Almost everyone was intermediate and elite level. He even came across a few masters.

And these were only the ones he saw along the way. The actual number was shocking.

The path was made out of stones. Since it was built on a mountain peak, it was filled with stairs, and carriages were nowhere to be seen. This was why even Wizard Bunyan went to greet Abel on foot.

Abel began to wonder how they managed to carry all those forgery ingredients from the peak to the bottom without carriages, but he soon found the answer. A metal railway tramp was running throughout the mountain with a dwarf behind the wheel.

“This is the Furnace Fort’s carrying mobile. It utilises puppet technology with mana gems as energy. With only one dwarf behind the wheel, we can carry tons of materials up and down. There are 10 railways in the Furnace Fort in total!” Wizard Bunyan said with a smile when he saw Abel was paying attention to the carrying mobile.

Abel couldn’t help but admire the dwarfs’ technique. This thing was basically a light rail, but since the dwarves didn’t mind walking, it was only used for practical purposes.

There were many luxury buildings on the peak, and a palace in the center stood out among the rest.

It was where they were heading, the most luxurious palace of the Furnace Fort.

“Master Bennett, that’s my place!” Bernie pointed at a courtyard nearby.

“Seems like your teacher is treating you quite well!” Abel laughed.

Although it was not a huge place, it was built with top materials. It was definitely not something normal dwarves could afford.

Bernie came from the subcontinent, and he was only a rank 1 wizard. Without the help of Wizard Hutton, he would have never been able to live in a place like that.

Bernie gazed at Abel. This place was actually granted to him by the dwarves because of Abel’s friends.h.i.+p.
