Outside of the Dwarves’ Furnace Fort palace, 5 law-defying wizards and a white-bearded dwarf with a crown in a robe stood on the spot.
A sincere smile emerged on their faces when they saw Abel.
Master Bennett, this is the dwarves’ King Gunther!” Law-defying Wizard Bunyan whispered.
“Haha, the prestigious Master Bennett. I finally have the honour to meet you. Thank you for all the potions. They are very important to us!” King Gunther smiled and bowed.
“Your great Majesty, Gunther, I’m very grateful for your kindness!” Abel bowed back.
A king would only greet someone personally to express the highest honor. He was the ruler of the dwarves, after all.
But of course, he was not doing it for no reason. Abel has shown how scary his power was in past battles. He won even in situations where rank 24 and 25 wizards were helpless.
Even as a rank 21 dragon druid, his power was at least rank 23. Although his dragon transformation couldn’t last long, his beasts were just as powerful.
At the same time, he was the best potion maker in the Central Continent, the creator of the beloved ‘mana potion’ and ‘lite healing potion.’ Not to mention, he also had the metallurgy skills to make the materials for skyships.
Since he was kind enough to give the dwarves a portion of his potions, King Gunther had to treat him with the highest respect.
“Wizard Hutton, what happened?” Abel noticed Wizard Hutton by aside and asked.
The wounds on his face were even worse than WIzard Bunyan, and the other 4 law-defying wizards were not looking good either.
“Nothing; I was just some playing around with my old friends!” Wizard Hutton laughed casually.
“Master Bennett, let’s head in the palace first!” King Gunther helplessly gazed at Wizard Hutton. He wouldn’t be common in his personal life, so he just focused on Abel instead.
The palace looked big from the outside, but the inside was just as big. The ceiling was 20 meters high. Abel almost felt like he entered the house of a giant.
There was no second floor, just a huge area. The dwarves’ style was really like no other.
The chairs and table were also normal-sized, even though dwarves’ were normally smaller than humans. Maybe it was because they wanted to keep their dignity, so Abel did not feel cramped at all.
“Majesty Gunther, can you speed up the manufacturing of the sky ships?” Abel asked bluntly.
“Master Bennett, actually the dwarves have completed 20 sky ships long ago. We are just waiting some main materials for the core magic circle!” King Gunther smiled.
The dwarves in the Central Continent have started working ever since they heard about the skyships in the Holy Continent, so they had completed 20 sky ships long ago.
“Ill stay with the dwarves these next few days. Give me an alchemy room and I’ll make 20 portions of the core material!” Abel thought for a moment and said.
“Master Bennett, i will give you 10 sky ships according to our contract and we will definitely continue to collaborate in the future until the sky of the dwarves and elves are filled with sky ships!” King Gunter laughed loudly.
The elves were not the only ones who felt threatened by the Holy kingdom. The Furnace Fort also felt the same even there were not any signs of it yet.
However, if their sky was filled with skyships along with the countless war machines, the dwarves’ would be impenetrable.
“Thank you majesty!” Abel also felt his heart lifted. 10 skyships were enough to form the first battle line for the elves, and their Air Force would only get more powerful from there.
“Master Bennett, you really helped us a lot this time!” King Gunter continued to smile.
“Your Majesty, the elves also need to set up a line of defence outside of the tree of life valley so i hope the dwarves can also help us in regards to that!” Abel requested again.
“No problem. This is what the dwarves are known for. You are just giving us more business!” King Gunther laughed even louder.
He couldn’t say no to Master Bennett’s request. Instead, the more, the better. This way, the dwarves would get more of those super potions yearned by all wizards.
“I have a last request, but this one is more personal!” Abel said in a slightly embarrassed tone. “Please speak up!” King Gunter smiled.
“I want to build a castle on my domain in Hadrian Valley!” Said Abel.
“Easy, we will give it to you for free!” King Gunther helplessly laughed again.
“Majesty Gunther, but I want to use my own materials to build the castle and I need to set up large amounts of magic circles as well as a spirit to organise everything!” Abel explained.
“Master Bennett, you can just be frank with us. The dwarves can make any circles for you, but are you looking down on us dwarves to not let us provide the material?” King Gunther put on a serious face.
“Majesty Gunther, I want to build my castle entirely out of pure gold, so just let me provide the material!” Abel helplessly explained.
He hadn’t planned on telling King Gunther about this, at least not from the start.
“Master Bennett, how big do you want your castle?” King Gunther was a little shocked as he looked at Abel.
“The same size as a normal royal palace is fine!” Abel thought for a moment and said.
He was planning to use the thing for his wedding. Both Abel and Lorraine’s status was quite high, so their castle couldn’t be small.
Picking the Hadrian valley was also a good choice since it was closed to the goddess temple, and it was granted to him by the royals.
King Gunther no longer wanted to provide the materials. If not, it would basically clear out the dwarves’ gold inventory to build that thing.
“Master Bennett, do you know how much gold that would need?” King Gunther just wanted to make sure that Abel was not mistaken.
“Majesty Gunther, I have more than enough. I’ve just gotten some spoils and it might not be a problem even if I build 2 castles out of gold!” Abel thought of his holy portal bag and said.
“Master Bennett, it’s from the Evil Kingdom, right? Something seemed to click for King Gunther, so he smiled.
“Yeah, that’s right!” Abel nodded.
“Don’t worry, we will send the best builders and architects to construct the castle for you!” King Gunther felt his heart lift. As long as Abel had enough gold, they no longer needed to do anything extra.
Although he didn’t know why the Holy Kingdom would send out a knight with that much gold, considering how desirable gold was, that knight must be a gold lover.
“Majesty Gunther, here is my compensation!” Seeing that King Gunther accepted all his requests, Abel smiled and took out a portal bag of 100 light healing potions, 100 mana potions, and some golden longevity potions and placed it on the table.
King Gunther wanted to reject them, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it seeing these mana potions.
As a part of the Wizard Union, the dwarves were also aware of the Sky demon’s awakening. They needed resources to prepare themselves.
Those potions were some of the best things they could get, so King Gunther didn’t know what to do all of a sudden.
“Master Bennett, is this a longevity potion?” Wizard Hutton suddenly noticed something that made his eyes sparkled.
Although those law-defying wizard dwarves joked around a lot, they kept their mouths shut all this time to show their respect for King Gunther as well as Abel as a guest.
However, when WIzard Hutton saw the golden longevity potion, he could no longer help himself.
His words also sent a shock to the other wizard dwarves. Some of them heard the rumors that Abel could make a golden longevity potion with extra years of life span.
They all knew the value of such a potion, so they never thought about it since they had nothing for exchange that even came close.
“Yes, that’s right!” Abel smiled and nodded.
Since he knew the demon from beyond would reawaken in 100 years, he decided to give out more potions that he deemed not too valuable, including the longevity potion.
“Master Bennett, I can not resist so I’ll accept your compensation. But please let me open up the dwarves’ inventory for you to pick 3 items!” King Gunther stood up and bowed.
“Alright, I’ll go for it!” Abel laughed
He entered many inventories in the past, and he always admired the ones the dwarves had. Even if he wasn’t allowed to take anything from it, just a visit would be nice.
“Wizard Hutton, take this longevity potion immediately to headmaster Faraday!” King Gunther did not put away the potions on the table. Instead, he handed the golden longevity potion to Wizard Hutton and commanded.
“On my way!” Wizard Hutton held the potion in his hand and bowed at Abel. He then disappeared in a flash.
At that moment, all the wizards on the spot and King Gunter were extremely excited. The only ones who didn’t understand what was going on were Abel and Bernie.
“Master Bennett, please excuse us!” King Gunther settled his emotions as he remained seated. He then explained, “Headmaster Faraday is a rank 25 wizard in our tribe, the most powerful one. His days are numbered. If your longevity potion came a little later, maybe he might not be able to make it!”
“Majesty Gunther, that’s great. Then you will have more power against the Evil Kingdom!” Abel smiled.
“Master Bennett, let’s head to the inventory. I will not forgive myself if I don’t give you something!” King Gunther stood up and said with excitement.
Abel loved interacting with the dwarves. Their sincereness was really unlike anyone else.
“Master Bennett, we won’t interrupt you!” The Law-defying wizard dwarves bowed and brought Bernie away.
Abel knew Bernie’s status in the Central Continent was not high, so he was forbidden in the inventory.
If Bernie’s status wasn’t so high in the Holy Continent, no way they would even let him overheard the conversation between King Gunther and Abel.
The path Bernie was on was much better than being a salesman. With a law-defying wizard as a teacher and a friend like Abel, he had a bright future.
“Frankenstein, stay here!” Abel said to the dull Frankenstein.
Frankenstein remained still after he heard those words.
King Gunther couldn’t help but look at him. All law-defying wizards had their dignity. Signing a contract and becoming someone’s servant was basically never seen before.
