"Carlos, Camille, what's wrong?" Abel asked, approaching the two of them with a smile.
"Abel, I shouldn't have come to the reception!" Carlos glanced at Abel and said with some frustration.
"Why is this?" Abel glanced at Camille, who was also frustrated, and asked curiously.
"The teacher said that Carlos and I can't eat the dishes here. We avoided these dishes every day at Harry's Castle. At that time, we could still keep out of sight, but here we see what we see with our eyes and what we smell with our noses." "How can I live with these dishes?" Camille said distressedly.
Only then did Abel think that since neither Carlos nor Camille had become official wizards, if they ate these dishes with 'rabbit spirit' added now, the effect of 'rabbit spirit' on wizards would be wasted, and so on. Once they become official wizards, they lose their role in advancement.
"The teacher is right. You should stay away from these dishes. How about I ask the kitchen to cook you some ordinary dishes?" Abel said, looking at the two of them with sympathetic eyes.
"No, if you ask me to eat ordinary dishes with this smell, I might as well not eat it!" Camille rolled her eyes at Abel and said.
"Is there any news about Warren and Ou Rui?" Abel asked, changing the subject.
Both Warren and Ou Rui were disciples of Wizard Morton, but Abel had never met them, only heard their names.
Because the two of them had been sealed and imprisoned in the sixth and seventh floors of the Morton Magic Tower outside Gamba City for a long time, other wizards in the magic tower had moved over, but there was no news about the two of them.
"Not long after you were chased by the senior wizard Colliver and escaped from the magic tower, the two floors where Warren and Ou Rui were were automatically unlocked, and they were unable to come out!" Camille replied in a deep voice.
Abel did not expect this result. He couldn't help but be stunned. He had heard that many wizards had entered the bottleneck period and were stuck in it until their death.
But he never thought that this kind of thing would happen to him. He always thought that the wizard's life span was long enough.
"The teacher must be sad, right? I wasn't with him at that time!" Abel said with a sigh.
"Actually, the teacher was mentally prepared at the time. The teacher said that the rate of trainee wizards becoming official wizards is not high, and very few can succeed, so he has been working hard to recruit extremely talented disciples, just because he doesn't want to see this kind of thing again. happened." Camille nodded.
"Stop talking about these sad things, you practice hard, and I will prepare the magic tower for you!" Abel said instead, not wanting to bring up these heavy topics anymore.
"I want to paint the entire magic tower pink!" Camille said when she saw the magic tower, her eyes full of expectation.
"I want the magic tower to be filled with short-distance teleportation circles, so that we don't have to climb stairs every day!" Carlos interjected.
His words reminded both Camille and Abel of their previous life in the Morton Magic Tower outside Gamba City. At that time, Carlos always complained about having to climb stairs and always said why not install a short-distance teleportation circle.
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other and laugh when they thought about their lives at that time.
Just as Abel was chatting happily with his two colleagues, he turned around and saw Duke Albert, who was elegantly drinking red wine not far away and nodded to him.
He hurriedly spoke to his two fellow disciples and came to Duke Albert's side.
"Abel, I didn't expect that you have grown so much after only two years of separation!" Duke Albert said with a smile.
"Honorable Duke Albert, the days in the elves are the most unforgettable days for me. It is my second hometown!" Abel said with a slight bow.
Duke Albert activated a magic circle on his waist, and an invisible force field immediately enveloped the two of them.
This energy fluctuation immediately caused several senior wizards in the hall to look this way at the same time, but seeing Abel's natural expression, they gave up asking further questions.
A warning sound also came from Abel's elder identity card. This was the guardian spirit warning Abel through the war command spirit. Abel's mental power was detected and stopped. Because the guardian spirit discovered abnormal energy fluctuations, This caused War Fortress No. 03 to enter combat mode.
He knew that Duke Albert wanted to talk to him about something important, and this force field could block other people's prying eyes.
"Abel, there is something I want to tell you. As far as I know, the food production of the dwarves has dropped sharply, and the same is true for the fruits and other foods of the elves. Although this does not happen in the human world, according to the elders of our clan, It is estimated that this is a disaster that will break out across the entire Holy Continent!" Duke Albert said in a deep voice.
"Duke Albert, not only the dwarves and elves, I just came back from the Orc Empire, which is also suffering from an extremely serious reduction in food production. This is why the Orc Empire will devote all its efforts to launch this campaign. The reason for the war!" Abel nodded and added.
"Once there is a food crisis in mankind, the status of the Principality of Camai will change. This is why I came here this time!" Duke Albert explained the reason for his coming to Abel.
The Principality of Kamai is an agricultural principality and the largest food producer in the entire human world. Because of its geographical location at the southernmost tip of the entire Holy Continent, its temperature is the most suitable for food production. In addition, the land cultivated for generations has been basically cultivated due to careful management. They are all the best farmland.
In ordinary times, the income here is not much, and the value of food is far less than that of mines and cash crops. But when food production really decreases, the position here becomes particularly important.
Duke Albert came to the Principality of Kamai at this time to express his intention to form an alliance, which was to support the Principality of Kamai.
Because if a food crisis really occurs, even Abel's existence will be difficult to completely suppress the prying eyes of all parties.
"Once this reduction in grain production occurs, how long will it last?" Abel asked.
"For at least ten years, due to the sudden outbreak, our elves' food reserves are not sufficient, and the food of our elves is different from that of humans. There are even problems with purchasing!" Duke Elbert's face looked a little melancholy. said.
Abel thought of the sculptures of the three goddesses and the wheat that ripened every month, and couldn't help feeling that his luck was really good.
However, the blockade of Harvest City is imperative, and the news about the magical water that can increase production must not be allowed to spread.
The good thing is that when he took over Harvest City, there were already very few nobles.
"Duke Elbert, if the elves can change their taste and use human food as their main diet, I can guarantee the food supply of the elves!" Abel said to Duke Elbert.
His words were so confident that Duke Albert was a little surprised.
"I'm afraid the elves' food cannot be replaced. We elves must ensure a daily supply of fruit, and human food can only be used as a supplement!" Duke Albert shook his head and said.
"Duke Albert, to be honest, I have a potion that can increase the yield, but I can't sell this potion. Can you understand this?" Abel and the Doyle family have a very far-reaching relationship with the city of Anyost. , he secretly told Duke Albert that the spring water of the Three Goddess was a potion.
"Abel, are you saying that you can increase human food production?" Duke Albert asked excitedly.
He knew Abel's other identity, a genius alchemist master. Every product of Abel made the entire elves go crazy.
If other people said there was a potion for fertility, Duke Albert might not believe it, but Abel said he could. With Abel's current noble status, he would not lie. Besides, Abel also had this ability.
"Yes, I have started a large-scale trial outside the Harry family in Harvest City!" Abel nodded.
"Can the yield of elf fruits be increased?" Duke Albert was most concerned about this matter, and he asked.
"I haven't tested it, but it's very possible!" Abel hesitated and then said.
"Abel, I remember that Master Bennett only has the title of Lord and no territory among the elves, right?" Duke Albert thought for a while and said.
"Yes!" Abel replied in a daze.
"Then, I will discuss with the Grand Duke when I go back and arrange a territory for Master Bennett outside the city of Anyost, as well as a more suitable title!" Duke Albert pondered for a moment and said.
