When Abel left the Gough family, he also took away a promise, that is, the Titan Temple will always be open to Abel's blood families. Currently, Abel's blood families only include the Bennett family, the Harvest City Harry family, and members of his blood family. He won't have it until he has children.
After returning to his own magic tower from the dwarves, Abel was already thinking about how to place Barbara.
If there is any place that is the most important to Abel, then he will definitely say Harry Castle, because Harry Castle is the spiritual sustenance of Earl Marshall. Abel has always been worried that as his strength becomes more and more Stronger, his enemies will also be stronger.
If one day his enemies attack Harry Castle, even though it is protected by Taling Flavi, it will not be able to exert its protective capabilities as a war fortress due to the distance.
And because the people living in Harry Castle are basically ordinary people, and Earl Marshall is also an ordinary person and cannot live in a magical environment, there are many wizards' defense methods that cannot be used in Harry Castle.
Just a defensive circle is not very strong for the defense of Harry's Castle. It can withstand ordinary knights or junior wizards, but for intermediate and advanced wizards, it is only a matter of time before the defensive circle is broken.
So he needed a means to protect Harry Castle and Earl Marshall.
The emergence of Barbara made this possible. What better guardian could there be than Barbara, a guardian plant specially cultivated by the ancient Titans for protection
The relationship between Abel and Barbara is a special contractual relationship. Barbara is soul-bound to the control card of the Titan Temple, while Abel is recognized as the owner of the control card of the Titan Temple. This indirect relationship allows him not to consume soul contract space. You can have control of Barbara.
In the basement of Harry's Castle, Abel stood in the middle of the basement with Earl Marshall.
"Uncle Marshall, this is the Barbara I found specially for you to guard Harry Castle!" Abel released Barbara from the space beast ring, and then introduced to Earl Marshall.
Since Abel and Barbara have a contractual relationship, he can have soul communication with Barbara without turning on the spirit speaker ability.
"Barbara, this is my uncle. From now on, you will be here to guard this castle and protect him!" Abel said to Barbara, who had just come out and was still extremely depressed.
"Abel, are you letting it protect me?" Earl Marshall asked suspiciously as he looked at the strange and huge plant on the ground that looked like it was about to dry up. There was also a foul smell coming from the flowers.
It is true that the statue of Barbara is now in a very bad state. The new location has caused great damage to it. Only a dozen of its original roots are left, plus the trunk without leaves and the somewhat dry ones. Flowers, let alone protecting others, it's hard to tell whether they can survive on their own.
"Uncle Marshall, don't underestimate it. Barbara will continue to protect Harry Castle for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to come!" Abel said in a deep voice with a smile.
At this moment, smaller roots stretched out from Barbara's roots. The originally curled perfect gem was wrapped by the tiny roots, and a large amount of energy was absorbed from the perfect gem.
Almost visible to the naked eye, Barbara's body was like a plant entering spring, suddenly rejuvenated, and the huge flowers became brighter, but the stench in them became stronger.
At Barbara's roots, countless tiny roots stretched out from the roots, and they grew and stretched rapidly. The roots penetrated the basement floor, and its body slowly sank into the basement.
What Earl Marshall didn't see, Abel could sense that Barbara had built its own living space underground, which happened to be in the middle of Harry Castle. In order to be able to protect the entire Harry Castle, its roots were constantly growing. of growing.
Slowly, the entire underground of Harry's Castle was spread by Barbara's roots. As long as needed, it can turn the entire Harry's Castle into a forbidden place for demons at any time. It can also make the enemies of Harry's Castle feel the power of countless roots. .
The reason why Abel brought Earl Marshall here was to let Barbara remember Earl Marshall's aura. If he had to leave in the future, Earl Marshall could call Barbara for help at any time.
"Is this Barbara very powerful?" Although Earl Marshall didn't know the wizard's methods, he knew that Barbara was not simple when he saw the situation in front of him, so he asked.
"Uncle Marshall, with Barbara, all the wizards in the entire Holy Continent don't have to worry!" Abel said softly.
If his expression hadn't been so serious, Earl Marshall would have thought he was joking.
Of course Abel was not joking. Once the Forbidden Demon Space is opened, wizards will be inferior to knights. At least the wizards here in the Holy Continent cannot break through the Forbidden Demon Space.
No one told Abel about Barbara's placement except Earl Marshall. This existence will become the most important secret of the Harry family, because Barbara's lifespan is almost unlimited. Together with the housekeeper Bartoli, it will be the Harry family's forever. 's guardian.
Of course, Bartoli and Barbara don't need to meet each other, because they both belong to Abel's contract, and they have an instinctive connection in their breath.
Abel went into seclusion again. He returned to the magic tower and never showed up again. This kind of thing was something that the entire Principality of Kamai was used to.
The Principality of Kamai is also slowly stabilizing the land it controls, and the war in the human world of the Holy Continent is still spreading. In addition to the three major empires, other principalities have been involved.
The three empires did not stop the war between the principalities. Perhaps to fundamentally solve the food problem of mankind, reducing the population is the best way.
What else can reduce the population more quickly than war
The human world of the Holy Continent has fallen into the abyss of war, and even the five principalities that originally bordered the Principality of Kamai have not escaped.
The war caused the aristocratic system in the human world to collapse. A large number of noble families disappeared, while other nobles annexed other nobles and became more powerful.
Naturally, powerful nobles would no longer be limited to ordinary nobles. Ambition made some powerful nobles need greater rights. This caused some principalities to disappear, but new principalities appeared.
These newly emerged principalities had to occupy more land in order to become stronger. Food production was reduced, but this also made the value of the land higher.
In the turmoil of the human world, the Principality of Kamai stands firmly there. No principality dares to have other thoughts towards the Principality of Kamai.
In this chaos, the dwarves sent a large number of engineering personnel to Gamba City and Bili City, and carried out large-scale construction in the two cities. Not many people knew the content of this construction.
Of course, the construction of the dwarves this time could not be hidden from the three empires, because the Kingdom of St. Pold, the Kingdom of St. Alva and the Principality of Kamai signed a peace agreement, so they only asked about it and did not say anything more. Intervene.
The Kingdom of St. Alice is different, because the reconstruction of these two cities was carried out in the vassal country of the Kingdom of St. Alice, which had a serious impact on the prestige of the empire. Therefore, the Kingdom of St. Alice made severe demands on the dwarves. doubts.
The dwarves rejected the St. Ellis Kingdom's challenge on the grounds that Abel was a brother of the dwarves and building a defense system for his brother's principality did not violate the agreement signed between the dwarves and humans.
But in this matter, what was most affected was the superficial relationship between the Kingdom of St. Alice and the Principality of Kamai. Although Abel knew that His Majesty Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Alice personally went to the Assassin's Guild to issue the order to assassinate him. order, but before Abel took the initiative to break up, the Principality of Kamai and the Empire still maintained a normal relationship.
…
In the royal palace of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, in the study of His Majesty Emperor Ambrose, His Majesty Emperor Ambrose and the eldest prince Alec were discussing.
"Father, why are you openly questioning the dwarves' help in building a defense system for the Principality of Kamai? You must know that this is a formal enmity with the Principality of Kamai and Grandmaster Abel. In order to fight against Grandmaster Abel, our empire It took a lot of effort to make good friends, is this a good deal?" Prince Alec didn't understand His Majesty Emperor Ambrose's approach. At this time, there were only the father and son in the study, so he asked directly.
"Alec, you control the intelligence system. You should know that the Assassin's Guild has recovered its strength, right?" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose asked instead of answering the question of the eldest prince Alec.
"Yes, the Assassin's Guild has taken advantage of the turmoil in the human world and has gradually restored a large number of mission points. Although the losses have been great, its strength has been restored to about 70%!" As the leader of the intelligence organization of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, Of course the eldest prince Alec knew these things, he nodded and said.
"Then do you think that with Grandmaster Abel's temperament, he can just let the Assassin's Guild go?" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose continued to ask.
"No!" The eldest prince Alec has specially analyzed all the information on Abel and knows Abel's character very well.
"Alec, tell me how the Assassin's Guild can be restored now?" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose asked again.
"In my opinion, the Assassin's Guild should have met the requirements made by Grandmaster Abel, so he let the Assassin's Guild go!" Prince Alec replied, thinking that His Majesty Emperor Ambrose was testing him.
"I have received news from the dwarves and elves that the originally blocked Assassin's Guild mission point has been allowed to open again among the two tribes!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said in a deep voice.
"How is it possible? How can the dwarves and elves be so easy to talk to!" The eldest prince Alec has information about the human world in his hands. He has not paid attention to the information about the dwarves and elves recently, but now the information about the human world alone has made him Overwhelmed.
"So I suspect that the Assassin's Guild has been controlled by Grandmaster Abel, because only he has such a relationship with the elves and dwarves, and can he change their attitude towards the Assassin's Guild so quickly!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose Then he said.
"Then shouldn't we make good friends with the Principality of Camai and Abel?" The eldest prince Alec asked in confusion.
Once it controls the Assassin's Guild, the Principality of Camai will control the power of the dark world. Although this power is not visible on the surface, both intelligence and force will be greatly enhanced.
"Because Grandmaster Abel was assassinated because I personally placed an order with the Assassin's Guild!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said with a wry smile.
If time could be turned back, he would never place this order. An organization that had existed for thousands of years was wiped out by a young wizard. This was almost impossible to happen, and he never thought it would be like this. result.
"What!" the eldest prince Alec exclaimed.
Although he knew that there were all kinds of nastiness in politics, he was the king of a principality, a real nobleman, a master blacksmith, and a wizard. Regardless of his identity, his life should not be threatened.
The main reason why nobles can be envied by countless people is that even if they lose in battle, they are rarely killed by their opponents. They are usually redeemed or exiled.
After becoming a great noble, you basically don't have to worry about the danger of your life, because the aristocratic system protects the great noble, and the great noble is the foundation of the human world.
"Now you know the reason why I have such a reaction to the dwarves building a defense system. The Principality of Kamai cannot be stronger, otherwise it will threaten the foundation of the empire!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said in a deep voice.
"But Grandmaster Abel wouldn't go to war with the Empire directly for the Assassin's Guild's order, right?" the eldest prince Alec asked with some lack of confidence.
Based on his understanding of Abel, he really couldn't see anything that Abel wouldn't dare to do.
"Perhaps you don't know that your intelligence system didn't find anything. The Principality of Kamai has signed a peace contract with the other two empires, but it has not brought the Kingdom of St. Ellis with it!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose had something in his eyes. A hint of sharp ruthlessness.
"Father, could it be that the Principality of Camai is a vassal state of the empire, so it didn't sign a peace contract with the empire?" The eldest prince Alec said something that even he himself did not believe.
Regardless of whether the Principality of Kamai will sign a peace contract with the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the signing of a peace contract between the Principality of Kamai and the other two empires should show the empire that this is the attitude that a vassal country should have.
"Father, we cannot have a war with the Principality of Kamai. The empire cannot afford to fight another war!" The eldest prince, Alec, knew the reason why His Majesty Emperor Ambrose was talking to him today, and he said somewhat pleadingly.
How strong is the Principality of Kamai? His intelligence system has a lot of information. If he fights with the Principality of Kamai, even if he wins, it will greatly reduce the strength of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, not to mention that the strength of the Principality of Kamai has increased now. too fast.
Because of the war in the human world, countless knight families immigrated to the Principality of Kamai, and the Principality of Kamai also happened to have a large amount of land to accommodate them due to its annexation of the Principality of Keen.
The current Kamai Principality is only slightly weaker than the St. Ellis Kingdom, not to mention the mysterious Abel, whose strength has always been a mystery.
His Majesty Emperor Ambrose also had a last resort. He had been trying to contact Abel through private connections to seek reconciliation, but Abel refused to even meet the envoy he sent and drove him away.
If there was any possibility of reconciliation, he was not prepared to fall out with Abel.
To be honest, he was very afraid of Abel's strength. The unknown was scary. He was so powerful that he could kill multiple senior wizards, kill six senior orc priests, and destroy a city. His methods made him tremble.
Whenever there is a chance, he does not want war or being an enemy of Abel. He also resents that assassination is just a conventional political method. In the entire Holy Continent, which empire or principality does not have more or less Participate in assassination orders.
If one party places an assassination order, you can also fight back and place an assassination order.
But Abel's various performances showed that the Principality of Camai was accumulating strength and would become an enemy of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
If the king of an ordinary principality or the principality of Kamai was not Abel, His Majesty Emperor Ambrose would not be afraid. This was mainly due to Abel's temper and temperament. He discovered a pattern from studying Abel's growth.
Of all the opponents who were against Abel, no one could live safely, either by accident or directly killed by Abel. In short, no enemy could survive for long.
This is all for an enemy. Every enemy will be killed, which makes people feel that the problem lies. Regardless of whether it was Abel who killed him or not, it must be related to Abel.
It is for this reason that even if His Majesty Emperor Ambrose no longer wants to be enemies with Abel or want war, there is no guarantee that Abel will retaliate against the Kingdom of St. Ellis when he becomes stronger.
In fact, from the time he sent the envoy, he was already prepared to pay a huge price to Abel. No matter how much the price was, he could bear it as long as he could restore Abel's attitude.
But he never would have thought that what Abel thought was not the case. His wizard strength had improved so fast that he might become a high-level wizard in just a few years, which meant that he might become a high-level wizard in just a few years. Leaving the Holy Continent a few years later.
Then he needs to resolve all dangers when leaving the Holy Continent. His Majesty Emperor Ambrose can use the means of underhandedness to find someone to assassinate him. You must know that when he placed an order to assassinate him, both sides The relationship is very harmonious.
Even this kind of relationship would be assassinated. So once he leaves the Holy Continent, the Kamai Principality of the Holy Continent, Harry Castle, his relatives, and his friends, will they also be assassinated by His Majesty Emperor Ambrose? Will they be assassinated by the Holy Continent? The Kingdom of Ellis is destroyed.
In addition, the most important point is that he needs to set an example, an example that makes the human world of the Holy Continent dare not be an enemy of the Kamai Principality. This example requires strong strength and sufficient identity.
The Kingdom of St. Alice fits this point perfectly. As long as the Kingdom of St. Alice is destroyed, at least no one in the entire human world of the Holy Continent will dare to provoke the Principality of Camai.
This was Abel's simple idea, or he didn't think so at first, but as the strength of the Principality of Kamai increased little by little, this idea inevitably emerged.
In the end, he just wanted to kill His Majesty Emperor Ambrose. The increase in the strength of the Principality of Kamai gave him the ambition to provide a better growth environment for the family and give birth to a powerful one through the demise of an empire. nation.
"I have already approached the ancestor, and he agreed to take action, and he can also invite his three seventeenth-level senior wizards to take action together, plus more than fifty intermediate wizards from the empire, and 20,000 official knight corps, I will I don’t believe that with such strength, anyone can resist the footsteps of the empire!” His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said solemnly.
"Father, the Wizards Guild has stipulated that senior wizards are not allowed to interfere in worldly affairs. Our ancestors interfered in the war with the Principality of Kamai. Once discovered by the Wizards Guild..." The eldest prince Alec couldn't help but feel that his ancestors were going to take action. He was a little relieved, but he still had some worries.
"The ancestor is already an eighteenth-level senior wizard. No one in the entire Holy Continent knows about this!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said proudly.
What is the concept of an eighteenth-level senior wizard? He is the strongest person in the Holy Continent and an invincible existence. Even though Abel has such and such legends, the eighteenth-level senior wizard has always been the pinnacle existence in the Holy Continent. A god-like existence.
It is unlikely that the Wizards Guild would cause trouble for Abel with an eighteenth-level senior wizard and three seventeenth-level senior wizards. In the entire Holy Continent, there are only so many seventeenth-level senior wizards known to the human world. , and are friends with each other.
"Father, the most important thing is the food issue. Once there is a war, will the empire's food reserves be enough for a war?" The eldest prince Alec's tone no longer resisted the war. He was already planning for the war. .
"The empire will release some titles in exchange for food!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said calmly.
He seems to have thought about the food problem and even has a solution.
"The title is exchanged for food!" A bitter look appeared on the face of the eldest prince Alec. When did the empire have to sell the title to obtain food
Selling titles in exchange for food will have a huge repercussions on the entire aristocratic system. Even if the war is won, the consequences will be very serious.
…
Abel didn't know about the plans of the Kingdom of St. Ellis. He was still in retreat. All government affairs were handled by ministers, and the ministers could handle all government affairs without the king's participation.
It had been more than two months since he returned from the ocean. One morning in early April, Abel had just returned from the dark world. He was sitting in the Elf Garden outside the Magic Tower, drinking juice and resting when the voice of Taling Flaviy rang out.
"Master, Master Bernie from the dwarf tribe and Countess Carrie from the elf tribe have something to see you!"
"Why did they come to me together?" Abel muttered to himself in confusion, then drank all the juice in the glass in one gulp, and his body disappeared in a ray of white light.
In the living room of Harry's Castle, Bernie was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
On the other hand, Dame Carrie's face was unusually pale, as if a beast was approaching. She didn't even dare to move her body. She had been like this ever since she entered the reception room of Harry Castle.
"Lady Carrie, what's wrong with you?" Bernie noticed the miserable look of Lady Carrie at this moment and asked hurriedly.
"Bur... Bernie, no... it's nothing. I felt a great danger as soon as I got here!" Dame Carrie was distracted by Bernie's question and woke up from the extreme panic.
"This is Grandmaster Abel's territory, what danger could there be!" Bernie looked around and asked in confusion.
At this moment, a white light appeared, and Abel's figure appeared in the living room.
As soon as he appeared, Dame Carrie felt a lightness on her body, and the sense of danger that almost caused her collapse suddenly disappeared, causing her to take a few deep breaths.
"Lady Carrie, what's wrong with you?" Abel noticed something was wrong with Lady Carrie as soon as he came in and asked hurriedly.
"Lady Carrie said she felt great danger here. You tell me whether it's funny or not!" Bernie said with a laugh.
He is a frequent visitor to Harry Castle and often comes to Harry Castle to eat and drink. He knows that this is almost the safest place in the entire Holy Continent.
Just because three seventeenth-level senior wizards died here, this place became a holy place respected by knights and wizards. No knight or wizard dared to do anything here.
However, Abel knew the reason why Dame Carrie was like this. Dame Carrie was an intermediate druid who was extremely sensitive to plants. And she and Bernie appeared in Harry Castle. As strangers, of course Will get attention from Barbara underground.
Like Bernie receiving Barbara's attention, he himself is not very strong and cannot sense Barbara's existence at all, so of course he will not be afraid.
But Dame Carrie is different. As a druid, she can clearly sense Barbara's existence, the extremely powerful sense of oppression, the sense of threat that her life can be taken away at any time, so high level versus low level. The sense of oppression made her almost afraid to make any movement.
This is also because Lady Carrie is a genius of the elves and has a strong sense of nature. Of course, the other reason is that Barbara has just been transplanted to Harry Castle and is still recovering. She cannot yet Perfectly controlling its own power.
"Lady Carrie, I'm sorry, I installed some security measures in Harry's Castle, so it made you uneasy!" Abel explained with a smile.
Of course, Dame Carrie didn't believe in the security measures, but she also knew that this was Abel's secret and there was no need to explain it to her, so she nodded with a forced smile.
"Bernie, you haven't been here for a while. Why did you come to see me with Dame Carrie today?" Abel asked.
"Grandmaster Abel, I came here today to ask for something. Our clan needs twenty barrels of Grandmaster's wine. You can accept the conditions!" Bernie said with some embarrassment.
He knew the effect of Grandmaster Wine. Its powerful effect was an accelerator of cultivation for dwarf wizards. Each purchase was calculated by the bottle. The request made this time was indeed a bit excessive.
"Grandmaster Abel, I'm also here to ask for twenty barrels of Grandmaster wine, and I may order from you regularly in the future!" Baroness Carrie didn't know how precious Grandmaster wine is, but she knew it when she saw Bernie's expression. Grandmaster wine is no ordinary wine.
Of course, the wine that can make the dragon clan ask them to prepare it, how can it be ordinary goods.
"Grandmaster wine, why do you want so much?" Abel asked in confusion.
You must know that the price of food has soared, and there is a huge gap in the brewing of wine. Now all the raw materials for master wine and grandmaster wine are brewed by the Principality of Camai, and a large amount of food has been invested in it.
If the output is increased, more food will be needed. Now food is life. If it weren't for the relationship with the dwarves that made it impossible for him to stop supplying master wine and grandmaster wine, he would have stopped making wine.
"Grandmaster Abel, to be honest with you, Lord Emmanuel, the blue dragon of the Dragon Clan, knew about the Grandmaster Wine from somewhere. He asked the Dwarf Clan for the Grandmaster Wine. I had no choice, so I came to beg you!" Bernie said. He said with a pitiful look.
"Grandmaster Abel, our elves are the same. Because I know you well, the clan sent me to buy the Grandmaster wine!" Baroness Carrie continued.
Yes, it’s no wonder that the two clans were in trouble, he was the one who caused the trouble, and he was the one who picked out the blue dragon Emmanuel’s Grandmaster’s addiction to alcohol.
"I know Blue Dragon Emmanuel. Let me explain to him later. The production of Grandmaster Liquor has been very low recently. Let me explain to him!" Abel waved his hand in embarrassment.
"Abel, you're not lying to me, are you?" Bernie was so shocked that he forgot that Dame Carrie was there. He asked directly without using honorifics.
"Bernie, do I look like a liar?" Abel replied angrily to Bernie.
Bernie wanted to say "Xiang", but he really didn't dare to say it out loud. From the time he met Abel, Abel had never deceived him about anything except the secrets he couldn't tell.
It's just that this time Abel said he knew the blue dragon Emmanuel. He really couldn't believe it. That was a blue dragon, a dragon from the Holy Continent.
Is the ocean dangerous? The Dwarves sent seven sky boats, but only two came back. The Dragon Clan has always treated the thousands of miles of ocean around the Holy Continent as its back garden. The reason why the Holy Continent can be free from attacks by marine spiritual beasts is that Because there is the protection of the dragon clan.
As for how proud the dragon clan is, the dwarves and elves know best. Even if the two clans continue to provide various resources for the dragon clan, what they get in exchange is just an insincere promise of protection. Perhaps when the race is at its most dangerous, the dragon clan Only then will I help.
