Wizard Lorenzo, Wizard Allenby, and Wizard Edington exchanged gazes. They knew how scary a crossbow was. If an elite wizard did not have enough time to react, a crossbow could penetrate their defense.
However, a rank 17 elite wizard could suppress all lower wizards nearby, and they could also shake up any knights with their power of will. Where did Abel find someone to control so many crossbows?
Although it was hard to block a crossbow, an elite wizard could dodge it easily. There was no way those 3 elite wizards would just stand there. All of the elite wizards in Liante City knew that ‘Move in a flash’ was basically an instinct to elite wizards.
As soon as someone reached Intermediate wizard’s level, they would start practicing ‘Move in a flash.’ It didn’t matter what stage they were in; their training would stop if their ‘move in a flash’ was not up to standard.
On top of that, every elite wizard had their own special life saver. Although they didn’t know about those 2 so call fighting elite wizards, they knew about Wizard Nigel. He had at least 2 ‘move in a flash’ scrolls, and he shouldn’t lack other life savers either.
He could use a ‘move in a flash’ scroll to escape anytime, so how did Grandmaster Abel trap him in Harry Castle?
As the 3 Liante City were growing speechless, the identity card of the intermediate wizard came to flash. His power of will scanned it, and soon his eyes started sparkling.
“Mr, I have new information!” The intermediate wizard quickly said.
“Speak up!” Wizard Lorenzo nodded.
“Yesterday, Wizard Nigel, Wizard Jellal, and Wizard Bunker entered Harry Castle. Wizard Jellal was held up by the Elite Wizard Dwarf Cyril, while Wizard Nigel and Wizard Bunker entered Grandmaster Abel’s 6 star magic circle and got shot to death by crossbows.
Wizard Jellal was then beat to death by Grandmaster Abel’s contracted beast, a giant iron monster. Afterward, 2 rank 18 Wizard dwarfs, Wizard Allen, and Wizard Larkin arrived. However, all they saw were 3 light beams of souls!” The intermediate wizard reported.
“Is this information accurate?” Wizard Lorenzo said in disbelief. He was the head of the investigation department, and he trusted them.
“This information is from the dwarfs. At the time, Wizard Cyril reported back to his tribe when this happened!” The intermediate wizard nodded in certainty.
Wizard Lorenzo knew the humans, and the dwarfs had agreed to share certain information. Most of the time, the dwarfs would share anything that didn’t hurt their reputation. This incident could promote their crossbows, so there was no way they would keep it a secret.
“Quick, call the dwarfs. Buy as many crossbows as possible!” he shouted as soon as he heard the report.
As the head manager of Liante City’s military, he knew how powerful crossbows were, he just never expected them to kill Elite Wizards. Now they were faced with this fact, so it seemed like they had to buy some crossbows.
“Grandmaster Abel really was hiding something. A contracted beast that could kill a rank 17 wizard! That thing must be a top rank soul beast, one with a powerful attack!” Wizard Lorenzo sighed.
“Yeah. It’s understandable that 2 elite wizards were killed by crossbows, but Wizard Jellal was beaten to death by Grandmaster Abel’s contracted beast. It seems anyone who messes with him will be in big trouble.
“I will quickly report Wizard Nigel’s death. It’s really a pity. I wonder who will replace him as the next guardian wizard!” Wizard Edington also sighed and spoke softly.
Of course, he was not signing at Abel; Instead, it was for Wizard Nigel. With the dwarfs as witnesses, even the Wizard Union couldn’t do much about this magic tower attacking behavior–especially as a guardian wizard who had attacked a Grandmaster Blacksmith’s magic tower. This would definitely anger the dwarfs.
None of the 3 Liante City Wizards felt empathy towards Wizard Nigel. They just wondered if the next guardian wizard sent down from the Holy Continent would compete with them for power.
It was a pity, but also laughable and irritating. Wizard Nigel’s death did not stir up chaos with Liante City, and his assets were split between the 3 elite wizards. Part of it had gone to Abel for compensation.
Not only in Liante City, the lord of management in the Kingdom of St Pierrt, Duke Sterton was also looking at the same information.
Afterward, he told his servants, “First, immediately sent out a big gift to Harry Castle to congratulate Grandmaster Abel for successfully building his magic tower. Use the best quality gifts, and make sure your fast. Second, call the dwarfs, we want large numbers of crossbows; the more, the better!”
The same thing was also happening to the other kingdoms, let alone the Wizard Union. Especially the Wizard Union in the Duchy of Keyen. The ruling wizard in that branch union had been sent to the northeast part of the human territory, Budapest mountain range. They were planning to establish a Wizard Union there. A one-man wizard Union for protection.
By that point, the elves had also gotten the news. In Angstrom City, Duke Albert said to Grand Duke Edwina, “It seems like our daughter met quite a capable little guy!”
“Stop calling him little guy, show some respect for the powerful!” Grand Duke Edwina shook her head with an awkward smile.
“Yeah, the last time when he was here, I still joke with you saying how many years it will take for him to reach our level–that that wasn’t too long ago; now both his Grandmaster Blacksmith status or his fame as a 3 elite wizard killer is making our eyes sparkle!” Said Duke Albert as he looked at the face of Grand Duke Edwina. By that point, her face was basically exactly the same as her younger self.
“I heard he is very good with the dwarfs!” Suddenly Grand Duke Edwina had become a little irritated. There was always a barrier between the elves and the dwarfs. Although it was not enough to cause a conflict or interrupt their trades, there was still some tension among their elites.
“Eh!” Duke Albert sighed and broke Grand Duke Edwina’s train of thought, “Don’t forget, you just ate the food Abel had sent us Abel for lunch!”
“Haha! I’m just saying. It seems ok. Abel is grown up; we can not restrict him anymore. Only a man like him can match with Lorraine!” Grand Duke Edwina laughed gently.
The attitude of Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert began to change. Every bit of power Abel gained had deepened his place in their heart.
As the entire Holy Continent was going crazy for Abel, The Lord of Marshall began to get busy. As soon as the teleportation circle in Harry Castle was officially set, anyone with an authentication could be teleported here to visit the death ground of 3 elite wizards.
Especially that 6 star magic circle. Of course, the elves would need to pay a lot more attention to their magic circles form then on. Unlike the dwarfs, they did not sell their secret magic circles.
The only way to see the elves 6 star magic circle was to go to Harry a Castle. Still, they could only look from afar. As more and more wizards joined, Abel could not stop their passion for a visit, even if he raised the teleportation fee to 50,000 gold coins.
Most of the visitors were magic circle makers. Although they could not see the secret of the circle from outside, they were certain that those 2 elite wizards would not die under the crossbows without this 6 star magic circle.
Although the dwarfs had just briefly touched upon the 6 star magic circle in their report, their passionate wizards still knew about it.
Of course, a part of this was also intention. Abel wanted to distract the others from his floating battle fort, and it’s lockdown ability.
