Abel put the hood of his gray robe over his head and left the magic tower again, ignoring the fat man Fink who came up to say hello. It was getting late at this time. If he chatted with Fink for a few more words, he would be surprised. With Ke Na's ability to talk to anyone, he might be late in arriving at House No. 16.
Walking on the road along the mountain at his feet, Abel once again felt the malice. This time he ignored it. What was supposed to come would still come.
"Master, I have something to report to you!" Ken, who was wearing a black butler's uniform, saluted Abel as soon as he entered the door.
"What's the matter?" Abel asked.
"His Royal Highness Prince Leander George is preparing to ascend the throne in three days and invites you to attend the enthronement ceremony."
"Push it away, just say that I am in retreat for research and can't participate!" Only the people around him knew that Abel entered the magic tower to study, and Abel was not prepared to tell anyone else.
The reason why Abel concealed that he was in the Magic Tower was that he wanted to become a pure wizard apprentice. If anyone knew that he was in the Magic Tower, those who wanted to obtain magic weapons through him would disturb his practice. Life.
The unhappiness with the royal family also made Abel too lazy to care about these things. It didn't matter who became the king. It was better to read more books if he had the time.
"Master, your military exploits have been recognized by the military, and His Royal Highness Prince Leander George has approved your title promotion. From now on, you will be called Baron." Ken's voice was a little excited. As a heraldry officer, The status of a lord's butler and a heraldic baron's butler is much higher, and the master is already a baron at such a young age, and his future future is unimaginable.
"Where's Uncle Marshall?" Abel didn't have any mood swings. He didn't care much about these titles. The improvement of his status only made ordinary people respect him. Only the improvement of his strength was the real improvement.
"Lord Marshall's accumulated military exploits are not enough for a knighthood promotion, so he was not able to upgrade his title this time." Ken explained.
"How could this happen? Shouldn't the battle merits of Uncle Marshall and I be equally divided?" Abel left the battle merits to Lord Marshall, and the three knight captains helped submit the battle merits, so Abel didn't know the details. matters.
"Lord Marshall gave you most of the military exploits. He said that this was the only way to ensure that one of the two would be promoted to a peerage."
"Uncle Marshall!" Abel murmured with some emotion. Lord Marshall cared about the title the most in his life. He was excited to be promoted to a knight, but the opportunity to be promoted to a higher title was given to him.
"The other eldest prince, His Royal Highness Leander George, please go to the Noble Arbitration Tribunal at a convenient time to receive the compensation delivered to you." Ken added.
"Compensation? For what?" Abel asked curiously.
"Because Prince Middleton George ordered the attack on you, these compensations are to make you give up pursuing Prince Middleton George. I heard that a big shot put pressure on you." Ken said hesitantly. In fact, he didn't want to at first. It was conjectural to say that a big shot was putting pressure on me, but considering the master's contacts and connections, this matter might give the master a better understanding of the matter, so I still said it.
"Big shot!" Abel thought of Knight Commander Hoover, who came and went like a ghost. These were probably the results of Knight Commander Hoover's coordination.
The siege by the royal cavalry really made Abel very angry, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. If it were not for the city of Gamba, Abel would have ridden a white cloud over Prince Middleton George's head. Throw down a few exploding swords.
Now that Grand Knight Hoover has come forward, he is still the master of the Blacksmith Guild after all, so let’s give him face. Of course, Abel doesn’t think this matter is over, but he just doesn’t want to pursue it now. He still has to remember the grudge. Whenever you get the chance, teach Prince Middleton George an unforgettable lesson.
"It is said that there is news from the royal family that Prince Middleton George has been transferred to Murray City and given a 100-mile fiefdom without a title." Ken once again used the word that was said to be uncertain.
But Abel felt that this rumor was probably true, because it was impossible for the royal family to announce the punishment of Prince Middleton George to the public, and to let Abel know about it, so they let a man who had just been punished None of the housekeepers in Bacheng knew about this.
A distinguished prince was granted a piece of land the size of a knight's territory to retire in, and was given no title. This was probably the smallest reward ever given to a prince by the principality.
Murray City, Abel has heard of this city. This city is located at the junction of the Principality of Kamai and the Principality of Thunder. The Principality of Thunder often has transgressions and the situation there is very tense. Prince Middleton George was sent there. There is so much hatred between the eldest prince, His Royal Highness Leander George, and the seventh prince.
But Prince Middleton George is really not worthy of pity. Abel knows the details of this seventh prince. Just the deal with the werewolf is enough to send him to the gallows. If Abel hadn't obtained it at the werewolf manor The benefits were so great that he didn't even dare to mention it, otherwise he could add insult to injury and drag the Seventh Prince into hell.
Although Abel didn't know how many gold coins Prince Middleton George was asked to compensate, but with Grand Knight Hoover coming forward, the compensation should not be small. Funds will definitely be needed for training in the future, and this kind of property with clear origins is of great significance to For him who has a huge secret, it is really important.
"I will arrange the time for compensation in the next two days and notify you to pick me up." As he said this, Abel stretched out his hand to touch the black wind that was already crawling around him anxiously.
After helping Black Wind perform the mount strengthening operation, Abel returned to the magic tower. He first went to Sam's apprentice wizard and found that he had not come back yet. This meant that Abel would have plenty of time tonight. Don't look at the envy of the wizard apprentices outside. He is in the magic tower, but every day he has to help Sam's trainee wizard clean the house, organize experimental supplies, and sometimes ask for help in dealing with other messy things. After all these things are completed, it is his own practice. time.
But the good thing is that the trainee wizard Sam takes very good care of him and rarely asks him to do messy things. He just cleans the house at a fixed time every day and tidies up the laboratory after the trainee wizard Sam's experiment. .
As far as Abel knows, the three official wizard disciples on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are all stuck on the fifth-level trainee wizard, and they are all much older than trainee wizard Sam. In this magic tower, trainee Sam Wizards are the most promising apprentice wizards to become level 6 official wizards.
Therefore, Sam's apprentice wizard conducted very few experiments and spent most of his time practicing in order to break through and become an official wizard as soon as possible.
It has been three days since Abel came to the Magic Tower and he has never seen the other three adults. He heard that the three fifth-level apprentice wizards on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors spend most of their time in the laboratory. They want to experiment with a result that can be exchanged for a large amount of resources, so as to buy expensive drugs in order to achieve a breakthrough. For the three of them, natural breakthrough has become a luxury, which also makes the three wizard apprentices who take care of them very busy. , almost no time to have much contact with Abel.
I went to the restaurant on the first floor to pick up the dinner. This dinner was delivered to a dedicated interface in the Magic Tower by a dedicated person. After the Tower Spirit automatically received it and checked that there were no problems, the Tower Spirit will transfer the food to the restaurant. Each Magic Tower Members can receive food here on their own. Of course, most of the time, formal wizard disciples receive food with the help of wizard apprentices.
Today's food is good, white bread with honey, a little honey fruit juice, a portion of smoked fish, and a few pieces of pancake snacks.
Although they are a few inconspicuous foods, they far exceed the living standards of ordinary nobles. The white bread is because the wheat used to make bread is a bit special. The output of wheat in this world is already very small, and only the completely selected True white bread can be made from flour ground from hulled wheat.
Honey fruit is a specialty fruit of Gamba City. It can only grow on the mountainside at a height of 1,000 meters. The storage time after harvesting and pressing cannot exceed one day, which is to allow the wizards in the magic tower to drink honey juice. For the fruit, a special person must be arranged to go to the mountainside to pick it up the night before, wash it, squeeze it, and deliver it to the magic tower early in the morning. This can ensure the freshness of the honey juice for the wizards in the magic tower to drink within one day.
The ingredients of a few pieces of pancake snacks seem to be very simple: one part sugar, two parts butter and three parts flour, but they are a famous luxury product. Sugar is very expensive, the butter made by ordinary people is not pure enough, and the flour is ground. It’s not detailed enough, and one of the three items is indispensable.
