Abe the Wizard

hs since he showed up, and the state members became excited when they saw him.
Although the state was established and many things have been taken care of, there were still certain decisions that needed to go through the emperor.

“Steward Burbridge, gather all the unnecessary iron ore from our mines and send them to me.
I need them!” Abel commanded.

“Yes, your majesty!” the steward bowed and continued, “The head of state, Chair Bennett, and head commander Bodley wants to see you.
They are waiting outside!”

“Let my father in, tell head commander Bodley to wait for a bit!” Abel paused and said.

Chair Bennett quickly stepped in.
He was no longer beaten up by the stress like a few months ago.
Instead, he had regained his vigor.
It was the magic of being in power.

“Emperor Abel!” He bowed.

“Father, long time no see!” Abel bowed back.
He had given up trying to get his stubborn father to stop calling him emperor.

“Your Majesty, I have an important report!” Chair Bennett continued as he handed a lambskin parchment to Abel.
“The Duchy of Lindsey, Duchy of Puma, and Duchy Scorn want to become duchies of the kingdom.
They agreed to sign the same treaty as the Duchy of Thunder.
The state has been debating for a long time but still couldn’t make a decision!”

Abel heard of these duchies, they were not far from the Kingdom of St Ellis, but they belonged to the kingdom of St Pierrt.

Although the Kingdom of St Pierrt was no longer powerful enough to manage its own duchies, taking their duchies would still cause some unnecessary tension.

He wanted to maintain a good relationship with the other Kingdoms.
Once he opened this floodgate, more duchies would try to do the same.
This was not in line with Abel’s desire for peace and stability.

“Father, what do you think?” Abel thought for a bit and asked.

“I don’t think the kingdom should take this step.
If we do, the other 2 kingdoms will not be happy.
It is not good for our stability once the food shortage is resolved.

Abel smiled.
This was what he thought as well.
Other than his own power, the main reason he had gotten the throne was that the food shortage had limited the other kingdoms’ troops.

The food shortage had been going on for a while.
If Abel was a greedy king, he would have wiped out those other kingdoms already, but that was not him.

Gaining 3 extra duchies would not bring many benefits anyway.
It was not worth it to disrupt their relationship.

Although Abel had the power to take down the other kingdoms, he would only do so if they attacked him.
He was too lazy to even manage the kingdom of St Ellis.

His men would also grow weak if he had taken over the Holy Continent and wiped out all the potential enemies.
It was not good for the future of his sovereignty.

“Father, under my command, don’t let the duchies join the kingdom!” Abel said in certainty.

“Yes, your majesty!” Chair Bennett was very surprised that the emperor had accepted his suggestion.
This boosted his confidence in the state.

He then continued to report, “The kingdom of St Anwell’s Emperor Aldous wants to invite you to his 70th birthday!”

“I won’t go; you can represent me in events like this!” Abel rejected immediately.

“Do I represent your majesty for the kingdom of St Pierrt as well?” Chair Bennett nodded asked again.

“Father, I am very close to being an elite wizard.
I might go on a retreat for a long time.
You are the duke of a kingdom.
You can take care of everything for me!” Abel replied.

Just think of the Kingdom of St Pierrt’s Duke Chesterton.
He was a duke as well, but everyone knew he was the back brain of the kingdom.

“Wizard Allenby from the Wizard Union in Liante City also wants to contact you, so he left a message to me.
He wants you to make a magic staff for him!” CHair Bennett spoke again.

“Father, from now on, any things in regards to wizards, you can tell tower spirit Flora.
It will contact me!” Abel smiled.

Abel had to return a favor to Wizard Allenby.
He owed him too much, so this was a great opportunity.

Returning a favor was not easy.
If a magic staff could do so, it would be the simplest thing to Abel.

Abel had been locked up in Kurast for a month straight.
He had cut off all the connection he had with the outer world.
Even when he returned from the Dark World, he would spend most of his time training.
It was no wonder no one could contact him.

“Majesty, there is another thing.
The old man’s magic tower has been found.
What do you want to do?”

“The old man’s magic tower?” Where is it?” Abel was surprised to hear this news.
Although the old man had died, his magic tower was a mystery.
No one in the Holy Continent knew where it was.

“Majesty, 2 months ago, a royal guard in the guards smelled the rotten smell of dead bodies, so he began to investigate.
In the end, he discovered 10 royal dead knights starved to death in a royal secret chamber.” Chair Bennett sighed.

Abel also shook his head.
Death knights were the foundation of a family.
This was initially the case with both the Harry Family and the Bennett Family.

Without hundreds of years, you could not cultivate a full team of dead knights.

The kingdom had cultivated many dead knights in the past, and most of them were turned into Griffin knights.

However, Abel switched to a magic contract ever since he took the throne, and being a death knight was no longer necessary.
Magic contracts were a lot more effective when it came to loyalty guarantee.

“He discovered a large hidden space under the chamber.
It was surrounded by hidden circles and within them was an 18th stories magic tower.
I’ve invited Wizard Dyna and the other elite wizards in the kingdom to try and break it, but they couldn’t do so.” Chair Bennett continued.

“Installing hidden circles underground and hiding an entire magic tower within it!” Even Abel was shocked.
Luckily the old man was the one who attacked.
If Abel was the one who came to the royal palace, he would be the one in danger.

The old man’s power would definitely increase by a lot if he stayed in his magic tower.
Hidden magic circles were rare.
It could fully isolate mana from the surrounding environment.

Abel had never come in contact with magic circles like that.
You could just guess how valuable they were.
Only the elves had something that could isolate mana.

Abel never allowed his magic tower to mix up with the places of normal people.
He would have created a ten-meter barrier at least, but the old man’s magic tower was right underneath the royal palace.

“Father, do you have anything else to report? If not, I’ll go have a look at that magic tower !” Abel stood up.
His heart was filled with interest.

Abel did not invite his father to come along.
Mana was very damaging to normal people other than wizards.

“No, I’ll be on my way, your majesty!” Chair Bennett bowed and left.

“Steward Burbridge, Lead the way!” Abel turned and said.

Steward Burbridge led Abel to the back garden of the royal palace.
It was a peaceful place.
No one would guess there was a magic tower under it.

The entrance was located under a statue.
Steward Burbridge pressed a trigger, and the statue lifted open.

Abel knew those triggers were made for normal people.
As a rank 18 wizard, the old man could just move in a flashback to his magic tower.

However, Abel was not the owner of that magic tower, so he should not risk it and just go the conventional way.

The first thing he saw was a bunch of underground structures, including an empty food inventory.
There were also empty food bags on the ground.
It seemed like those dead knights had been struggling for months before starving to death.

Just like when Abel was studying in the Bakong city magic tower, he had wizard followers deliver food and training resources to him.

This place should be the same.
The only thing was that the old man was hidden so only dead knights could serve him.

Maybe this was why no one in the royal palace knew about the old man’s magic tower.
He was the final card of the kingdom.

“Majesty, this is the entrance to the magic tower!” Steward Burbridge pulled on a bookshelf in a room and exposed an open space.

It was a huge place.
There were hundreds of meters underground with the side of the garden above.

The walls were filled with magic patterns and magic circles, which allowed them to hold up the garden above.
There were not any huge structures such as a palace in the garden, so it shouldn’t be too heavy.

The most eye-catching thing was the 18 stories magic tower, of course.
It was unlike any other magic towers.
Its surface was filled with mana gathering circles, and it was built with materials stronger than any conventional material.

The reason why drawing mana gathering circles on the surface was never seen on other magic towers was that nature’s force could easily damage them.

However, this thing was located underground, and no one would try to damage it.

The hidden magic circles of this place were the best hiding method.
This thing was also located under the royal palace, so there was no need for safety concerns.

Steward Burbridge stayed outside as Abel disappeared from the room.
He then re-emerged in the underground space.

He felt endless mana rushing up from his feet as soon as he landed.
It was a strange sensation.

“Commander spirit.
Scan the ground!” Abel said to his headmaster card.

“Yes.
Headmaster, scanning begins!” The commander’s spirit replied through the power of the will.

After around 10 seconds, the commander spirit replied, “Headmaster, the mana stream has been spotted.
Initial analysis suggests it is from a high-level gem mine!”

“Just as expected, that old man is too spoiled.
He took a high-level gem mine all for himself.
It’s no wonder he could maintain as a rank 18 wizard, no wonder he didn’t have to make his wizard rank public, no wonder he had built his magic tower here!” Abel mumbled.

Almost everything was explained.
Maybe the entire Denan City was built on this high-level gem mine.

Every wizard would die for a mine like this.
Even the wizard union would not let it go.
A high-level gem mine was enough to cause a wizard war.

A kingdom could not stop the wizard union.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, could there be other people in the royal family who knew about this?
