Abel is accompanying Earl Marshall today, and tomorrow is the new year. He did not attend the dinner at the Royal Palace in Gamba City, but was represented by Earl Bennett.
The chefs prepared sumptuous dishes for today's dinner, including several new dishes made by Bartoli herself.
At the dinner on the last day of this year, there were a lot of people present. Four great griffin knights were present. Although Bartoli was a housekeeper, Abel still allowed her to be present as a family member, helping to train the knight team at Harry Castle. Grand Knight Commander Bodley was also invited.
"I am very happy that Abel is with you at Harry Castle. The happiest thing in my life is that I adopted Abel. I remember that he was still a child at that time, wearing a set of simple knight equipment given to him by his father!" Marshall There was a look of reminiscence in the earl's eyes, he raised his glass and said with a chuckle.
Abel also remembered what happened back then. At that time, he had just been exposed to knight training, and it was at that time that he came to Harry Castle.
Earl Marshall gave him all the love, treated him as his own child, and made great efforts for his growth.
"Whenever I see Abel, I think this is the best gift God has given me, and now he has become the king again!" Earl Marshall turned to look at Abel and said: "I am proud of you! "
In Earl Marshall's mind, perhaps neither the mid-level wizard nor the master blacksmith was as real as the king of the Principality of Kamai.
This is also the normal thinking of nobles. Nobles work hard for a higher title all their lives. For this reason, they can go to the battlefield to kill, take off the enemy's heads to show their merits, and use their merits to exchange for titles.
"Drink!" Earl Marshall raised his glass high and shouted.
"Drink!" Everyone raised their glasses and shouted.
Abel felt the atmosphere in the restaurant, and a feeling of home arose in his heart. This was his home in this world.
He had consciously forgotten the home on earth that was hidden deep in his memory, and regarded Harbin Castle as his only home.
Family affection is like red wine in the hand, making people extremely intoxicated. His mind has been immersed in this atmosphere, extremely relaxed, and it seems that all his worries have been left behind.
Just when he was relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere of this home intoxicatedly, a strange aura came out of his body.
Bartoli was the first to sense the master's aura of promotion, and then a white light appeared, and Wizard Morton appeared in the restaurant.
Wizard Morton has not interacted with ordinary people for a long time, so although he was invited to dinner today, he still declined.
"Abel, what is this?" Wizard Morton sensed the aura of promotion and immediately teleported here. He found that it was Abel who was about to be promoted. He couldn't help feeling dizzy. How long had it been before he was promoted again
However, Abel suddenly expressed the aura of promotion, and there was no magic environment here. If he did not provide help, then this promotion opportunity would be wasted.
While Wizard Morton was thinking about it, Abel's druid soul had already taken over the control of his body. Of course, the druid soul did not dare to move the body too much, which would affect his subsequent promotion.
The Druid's soul borrowed a trace of spiritual power to activate the 'teleportation' on the skill tree in the Horadric Cube. In the surprised eyes of the two wizards, Morton and Bartoli, Abel's body Disappear in place.
After several teleportations, he had returned to the top of the magic tower, which was the most suitable place for training.
Wizard Morton couldn't figure out how Abel, who already had the energy to be promoted, could use 'teleportation', and Bartoli was also extremely surprised. There was no such precedent even in the dark world.
"What happened to Abel?" Earl Marshall asked quickly.
"Marshall, don't worry, it's a good thing!" Wizard Moulton replied with a smile.
Abel's sudden performance just now worried Earl Marshall, but after hearing what Wizard Moulton said, he was relieved. In his opinion, Wizard Moulton, as a teacher, was much stronger than Abel.
The four Grand Knights of Griffin and the Grand Knight of Bodley were not focused on this. They noticed that Abel took the initiative to use the spell of 'teleportation'. What did the 'teleportation' spell represent? All the wizards in the Holy Continent were interested in this. Anyone who knows can clearly tell.
An intermediate wizard, Abel turned out to be an intermediate wizard.
Abel's age is not a secret in the Holy Continent. He is a sixteen-year-old intermediate wizard. This is such a terrifying thing.
Of course, they are more happy about the benefits of Abel's strength to the Principality of Camai and the Harry family. If Abel continues to practice quickly, maybe in the next thousand years, the Principality of Camai and the Harry family will have a powerful wizard as their leader. rely on.
Think about the reason why the three empires are powerful. In addition to countless knights, the most important reason is that the three empires have their own family members who have become high-level wizards and have been protecting the family and the empire.
Just when the aura of Abel's promotion slowly dissipated, his wizard level had been raised to level 12, and he had caught up with the level of his teacher, wizard Morton.
At this moment, the castle bell rang, and the new year had arrived. Abel ushered in the new year with a wizard promotion.
…
The east of Kamai Principality is the most dangerous part of the Split Earth Mountains. There are no roads here. The entire Split Earth Mountains is the territory of the dwarves, so there are almost no other people except dwarves in this mountain range.
Of course, there are also some adventurers who sneak into the Split Mountains for the sake of the spiritual beasts that survive in the Split Mountains, and even more so for the elves in the Twin Moon Forest behind the Split Mountains.
These adventurers have to fight against the spiritual beasts in the Split Earth Mountains, and at the same time, they have to prevent being discovered by the dwarves. In the Split Earth Mountains, being discovered by the dwarves has only one result, and that is to be killed by a terrible mechanism.
The Leimai Adventure Team is a small adventure team composed of seven people. Among them are two knight captains, a junior wizard, and four senior warriors. Although they are not strong, due to their tacit cooperation, they can deal with ordinary spiritual beasts. Still no problem.
They like to hunt in the Rift Mountains. Adventures here are not as chaotic as in the Budapest Mountains. In the Budapest Mountains, you have to pay attention to spiritual beasts, human adventurers, and orcs.
In the Rift Mountains, because few adventurers appear, they only need to pay attention to the movements of the dwarves, which greatly increases their safety.
Of course, the most important reason is that the Remai Adventure Team is too weak. In the Budapest Mountains, they will be easily torn apart by any creature they encounter. However, there are no powerful spiritual beasts in the Rift Mountains, and some are just those in the Twin Moon Forest. Some sporadic spiritual beasts came from the middle.
The Lei Mai Adventure Team had a good harvest today. They obtained a crystal core from a Wind Spirit Deer. This crystal core was immediately given to the junior wizard. Several other members of the adventure team carefully protected the junior wizard and let him Meditate on the spot and absorb this fresh crystal core.
This is also the reason and condition why the wizard will accompany the adventure team on the adventure. Fresh crystal nuclei are the best tonic for the wizard, which can greatly increase the mana in the body.
While the Leimai adventure team was guarding their companions and meditating, suddenly a soldier in the adventure team pointed to the sky in horror and shouted: "What is that?"
The members of the Leimai Adventure Team raised their heads and saw three huge boat-shaped objects flying hundreds of meters in the sky above the Rift Mountains.
Even the most experienced captain had never seen what was coming, but they couldn't leave at this time because their companions were meditating.
"Shield!" the captain yelled.
Two knight shields and four warrior bucklers formed a semicircle to surround the entire team. Through the gaps between the shields, the members of the Remai Adventure Team carefully looked at the monsters in the sky.
"Master Bernie, there are adventurers below, please give me the order!" A dwarf bowed to Bernie and asked for instructions.
"I have to ask, the Rift Mountains are the territory of the dwarves, these thieves will be killed directly!" Bernie waved his hand and said.
The Rift Mountains are the territory of the dwarves and the area that separates humans from the elves. The most famous dwarves in this area are the Moon City. As you can tell from its name, it exists to guard the Twin Moon Forest.
The Rift Mountains are a gateway for the dwarves to protect the elves. If they find any adventurers entering here, they will kill them directly.
"Combat team, aim!" the dwarf shouted to a communication device in front of him.
"The combat team has received it and is taking aim!" A voice came from the transmission device, and then the voice rang again: "Already taking aim, requesting attack!"
"Attack!" the dwarf shouted in a deep voice.
There are ten windows on one side of the huge hull in the sky, and each window can see a repeating powerful city crossbow. However, only the first window has a small team of dwarves manipulating the repeating powerful city crossbow.
At this time, the dwarf who controlled the repeating city crossbow had opened the mechanism, and a series of crossbow arrows were fired from the repeating city crossbow, shooting the seven-man adventure team on the ground directly through the ground.
The Leimai adventure team didn't know what they encountered until their death. But the moment the crossbow arrow passed through their bodies, they guessed that it seemed to be a new weapon of the dwarves. The most pitiful thing was that the junior wizard didn't even know how he died. Don't even know.
"The target has been destroyed!" The result of the battle was transmitted to the command room through the communication device.
"Abel should be very satisfied with this thing!" Bernie took out a space flask from his arms, took a gentle sip of the Grandmaster wine, and said to himself with a smile.
These three big guys are the sky boats that have just been completed. The Gough family gave the first three completed sky boats to Abel as trading items. Of course, Abel didn't know about this transaction at this time.
Bernie thought it should be a surprise, a surprise between friends.
The sky boat will keep flying in the Rift Mountains, and will eventually enter the Harvest City area directly from the Rift Mountains, and reach Harry Castle from the air.
After a day of sailing, the sky boat finally left the area of the Rift Mountains. When Bernie looked down from the sky boat, he discovered that in the fields above the ground, there were patches of nearly mature grass growing. of wheat.
"I seem to have done something stupid!" Bernie muttered, looking at everything on the ground.
He had also heard the news that Abel had sealed off the entire Harvest City, but he did not expect that this would be the case here.
It's winter now, and the recent temperature has been colder than in previous years. And in this season and at this temperature, wheat that is about to mature is still growing in the fields. This news will probably make all the races in the Holy Continent go crazy.
No wonder Abel promised him that if the Gough family was short of food, Abel could help them.
"Tell them to keep their eyes and mouths private. Everything here is confidential. Anyone who dares to say one more word will be kicked out of the family!" Bernie turned to the dwarf beside him and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Master!" The dwarf immediately turned around and left the command room.
Now that he has arrived, Bernie can only ask the three sky boats to continue flying and fly straight to Harry's Castle.
Harry Castle did not expect anyone to enter Harvest City from an impossible direction. The three sky airships were discovered only ten miles away from Harry Castle.
"Intruders, identify yourself quickly, or we will attack!" Of course, the first to arrive at the threat from the air were the gryphon knights. Except for the four gryphon knights who were patrolling, the other ten gryphon knights all took off. The attribute Harry Bow in the hand of Griffin Knight No. 24 pointed at the sky boat at the front and shouted loudly.
Although Abel had an order to attack intruders as soon as they found them, the sky boat in front of him was too weird, and the unabashed manner also showed that it was probably a friend rather than an enemy.
"Master, the other party is pointing their weapons at us, do you want to give them a try!" The dwarf beside Bernie looked at the gryphon knight in the sky. The attribute Harry bow in his hand gave him a great sense of threat, and he asked Bernie asked.
"What are you thinking? If I kill one of Abel's griffons, do you think he will fight for me!" Bernie slapped his head. He really couldn't imagine what was going on in his men's minds.
In fact, most of the people who came with Bernie this time were researchers. Since the skyship had just been built and the users had not yet been trained, the people who helped deliver the skyship to Harry Castle this time were all Bernie. A group of personnel brought directly from the research institution in Nigeria temporarily helped transport it.
Only personnel from research institutions can operate the skyship without training. Of course, the researchers did not know what their mission was, and they never expected that the gryphon knight they wanted to kill belonged to Grandmaster Abel.
Bernie suddenly thought of something at this time. According to the intelligence, the griffon squadron of the Kingdom of St. Alice was attacked, and ten griffons were captured in the Niyan City of the Orc Empire.
That was when six high-ranking orc priests were killed in Niyan City, as many as dozens of orc warriors at the rank of Grand Knight Commander died there, and tens of thousands of elite orc warriors were turned into mummies.
Although some people had previously speculated that Abel was responsible for all this, there was no evidence.
After the defeat of the powerful Orc Empire, it was once again severely damaged and closed off to cultivate and thrive. This was all the result of the battle in Niyan City.
Seeing so many griffon knights in front of them already showed that everything was done by Abel, which was huge news.
"I am Bernie from the Dwarf Gough family. Is Grandmaster Abel here?" Bernie came out of the command room, walked to the deck, and shouted to Griffin No. 24.
Griffin No. 24 knew Bernie and knew that he was Abel's good friend. He immediately put the Harry Bow in his hand into the space bag, and then made a gesture to the other Griffin Knights, and all the Griffin Knights also put it away. Attributes Harry bow.
"Master Bernie, please explain to His Majesty the reason for your coming alone. Please stay where you are with the three you brought!" Griffin No. 24 didn't know what to call the sky boat. He parked the Griffin on He walked onto the deck of the sky boat, then made a hand gesture and said.
The gryphon's body is as big as a war horse, so it can carry two people for a short period of time without any problem. Besides, Bernie's weight is not heavy.
Bernie also knew that it was a bit rash to quietly enter the Harvest City area this time, so it would be better to go and explain it to Abel first. He jumped on the back of the griffin, and Griffin No. 24 then stood on the back of the griffin, controlling The gryphon flies towards Harry's Castle.
Abel had been handling various affairs at Harry Castle during the day. When the three sky boats arrived, of course he knew about it.
The sky has always been his advantage, but when he saw the sky boat in the distant sky in Harry's Castle, he was still surprised. The design and the real existence were two different things.
The huge airbag makes the sky boat look particularly huge, just like a white cloud in the sky. The boat body below looks a bit small in contrast to the airbag.
But as long as you see that there are ten windows on that side of the hull, you can know how big the sky boat is.
"Your Majesty, Master Bernie is here!" Griffin No. 24 bowed and saluted.
Behind him, Bernie followed with some embarrassment. Bernie was also blaming himself. It was extremely rare to give him such a gift.
"Thank you for your hard work, please step back first!" Abel nodded and said to Griffin No. 24.
Griffin No. 24 bowed and retreated, then disappeared at the gate.
"Abel, you can't blame me, I just want to give you a surprise!" Bernie quickly stepped forward and said when he saw that there was no one else around.
"Bernie, I really have nothing to say to you. Okay, you can find a way to keep it a secret from me!" Abel looked at Bernie helplessly, shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, the dwarves we brought here this time are all the most secretive group of dwarves in the family. I have already given orders. No one will say anything about Harvest City!" Bernie patted his chest and promised. road.
"The sky boat was built like this?" Abel was still very curious about the sky boat. He looked at the three sky boats in the sky and asked.
"Of course, we worked hard to build three sky boats and sent them to you. Don't be too little. We can only give you three of the ten sky boats!" Bernie said proudly.
No one in the Goff family thought at first that Abel could refine ten metallurgical materials from ten materials, and the quality was still so high.
But although the metallurgical materials of the sky boat are the most important, other materials are not so easy to find. Over countless years, the dwarves have only collected other materials needed for less than twenty sky boats.
Of course, there are only ten of the most precious array materials, and there are now ten metallurgical materials for the array.
This makes the cost of each sky boat reach an astronomical figure. A large number of materials are almost unavailable to other races except the dwarves, and their preciousness is unimaginable.
Being able to send three sky boats to Abel was a transaction between Abel and the Gough family, but only a few powerful people in the Gough family really knew the secret.
Because Master Bennett and Grandmaster Abel are the same person, this news has been kept secret.
There was very little opposition among the dwarves to giving the Sky Boat to Abel. First, because from master wine to grand master wine, Abel's wine basically took over the dwarves' greatest hobby.
The second reason is that because of Abel's status as a master blacksmith, not many humans can identify with dwarves, and his status as a master blacksmith has allowed the dwarves to treat Abel as a fellow human being.
The third is the irrigation system, which Abel didn't care about. Its impact on the dwarves was beyond Abel's expectation.
Just when the entire Holy Continent was suffering from reduced crop yields and food shortages, the dwarves had offset the impact of reduced crop yields due to a large increase in cultivated land, and were still able to maintain basic self-sufficiency.
It can be said that Abel's reputation among the dwarves has reached its peak. In terms of survival, hobbies, and noble status, his reputation has penetrated into every aspect of the dwarves' life.
"Thank you, can you let these three big guys come down? I have only seen the design drawings, and I have never seen the real sky boat!" Abel heard that these three sky boats indeed belonged to him, and he felt in his heart Still very happy.
The Principality of Kamai is now facing threats. It has three sky boats that can deter many countries that want to make any changes.
Abel sometimes wondered if it was because he had always been too low-key, so low-key that for a mid-level wizard, a master blacksmith, a master alchemist, and a high knight, his territory was actually under the influence of the secular world. threaten.
Like the three major empires, they have more guesses about Abel's strength. Although Abel's strength has always been hidden in the fog, and all his achievements are rumors, these rumors alone have made big organizations and empires afraid to truly Touch Abel.
And only those principalities that are not strong will have the courage to try his strength.
Abel does not want to use personal force to solve the threat. With his current cultivation speed, it may not take many years for him to become a high-level wizard and eventually leave the continent.
He needs to establish a strong image for his family's kingdom, so that all the principalities are afraid, rather than being strong because of his presence.
He is very satisfied with the aerial combat power of the Sky Boat. This is the simplest way to directly enhance the strength of the Principality of Kamai.
It takes at least five to ten years to train a large number of knights, and it takes decades to hundreds of years to train a wizard. However, the Sky Boat can increase the strength of the Principality of Camai in a short period of time. Big improvement.
Bernie used a small communication board to contact the sky boat. Harry Castle did not have such a large place to dock them, so he could only choose to dock at a knight training ground outside the castle.
Although the knights in the castle and the wizards in the wizarding circle were very curious about these three big guys from the sky, there were no onlookers. Abel's huge influence allowed the regulations he promulgated to be implemented throughout Harvest City.
Confidentiality is the most important one. Everything you see with your eyes and hear with your ears must be kept secret, and do not inquire about anything that has nothing to do with you.
"Abel, please come on board and take a look!" Bernie made a hand gesture and invited with a smile.
His smile was full of pride. This was the greatest miracle of the dwarves, an aircraft that could fly in the sky.
At this time, the sky boat had not completely touched the ground. It was about one meter above the ground and was hovering in mid-air. The precision of its control surprised Abel.
This kind of skyship, which is similar to the previous airships on the earth, is far more maneuverable than the airships on the earth. On the earth, it is because of the flight control problems of the airship that this kind of aircraft cannot be really used.
The three sky boats in front of us are almost the same height above the ground, which shows their high maneuverability.
A door opens on the side of the skyship and a ladder extends downward.
The ladder is made of metal, the same material as the hull of the sky boat.
The extremely complex design diagram immediately appeared in Abel's mind, and he thought of the material records of the hull. It was made of fine iron, another very light metal, light iron, and other precious metals. alloy.
Although it looks inconspicuous and all-black, the hull made of these materials is enough to withstand crossbow shots. This is a kind of material synthesis regardless of cost.
Perhaps in ancient times, these materials were not precious, but now the material of the entire hull is many times more valuable than the same amount of gold.
Under Bernie's guidance, Abel followed him onto the skyship. When he entered the skyship, the ladder behind him automatically retracted and the open hatch closed.
"Bernie, who is in control?" Abel asked casually.
"Ling, there is a spirit on every sky boat. Although it is just an ordinary spirit, it is enough to coordinate any affairs on the entire sky boat. I will transfer the authority of the three spirits to you later!" Bernie said with a smile.
"You guys are really generous, but there is no spirit in the design drawings I memorized. How could you think of installing a spirit?" Abel asked curiously.
"Abel, we dwarves are not copying the design of the sky boat. The design has been in our hands for many years. We have made some improvements to the sky boat and added some technologies unique to the dwarves." Abel. Ni replied with a smile.
"It's good to have a spirit, at least people won't let the sky boat run away!" Abel also smiled and nodded.
He has been in contact with spirits many times. He possesses many spirits himself and knows some things about spirits. For example, after he obtained the authority to possess spirits, he became the person with the greatest authority over spirits.
If he wants to appoint a captain, then he can set the captain's authority to operational authority, without the power to transfer or grant. This allows the captain to only control the sky boat himself and cannot transfer authority.
The existence of the spirit also means that if someone wants to rebel, the rebel will be attacked by the spirit immediately.
"Bernie, shouldn't the sky boat be a transport boat? How come there are so many continuous-fire city crossbows installed?" When Abel walked into the sky boat, he saw at a glance the huge hull on both sides. Ten consecutive powerful city crossbows were lined up, and he couldn't help but ask.
These repeating city crossbows are not the ones held by small war puppets. Each of these repeating city crossbows is mounted on a stand. This shelf can be rotated up, down, left and right to attack enemies outside through specially set aside windows.
This means that twenty consecutive powerful city crossbows occupy almost half of the space in the boat. The remaining empty space may be enough to carry some people, but it is impossible to transport goods.
"Abel, it's been too chaotic lately. This is my idea. I have installed twenty continuous-fire powerful city crossbows on the left and right sides of the boat for you. There are four continuous-fire powerful city crossbows in the front and back of the boat. "The entire Sky Boat has a total of twenty-eight continuous-fire city crossbows. With such attack power, as long as you don't encounter a giant dragon, you can shoot it down!" Bernie pointed to the continuous-fire city crossbows on the side. road.
"Thank you, Bernie!" Abel thanked.
Bernie's help saved him the trouble of modification. These repeating powerful city crossbows were enough for a small war.
"Of course, how could a great dwarf not consider the issue of shipping goods!" Bernie then raised his head and said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took Abel to the stern of the boat, where there was a room. As soon as he approached the door of the room, Abel felt the fluctuation of the power of space.
Bernie stepped forward and opened the door of the room. Inside was a space that was five times larger than the boat body. On the walls and floor of the room, countless patterns were densely drawn. These were the space magic arrays, and in the room During construction, spatial materials were mixed, which turned the room into a huge spatial warehouse.
"What a generous act!" Abel exclaimed countless times.
This kind of spatial warehouse that ordinary people can use, whether it is loading goods or transporting people, is no problem at all.
"When building the sky boat, the order given by the Gough family to the transformers was to ignore the cost, don't think about how much it cost, we just want the best!" Bernie saw Abel's surprise and said with a smile.
Coming to the deck from the cabin, Abel saw the eight exposed front and rear continuous-fire city crossbows, as well as the command room in the center of the deck.
