Chapter 827 Secret Talk (3 Chapters in 1)
When Abel left the Gough family, he also took with him a promise that the Temple of Titans would always be open to Abel's bloodline family. Abel's bloodline family currently only has the Bennett family, Harvest City Harry family, and his bloodline family members. He won't have until after he has a child.
Returning from the dwarves to his own magic tower, Abel was already thinking about how to place Barbara.
If there is any place that is most important to Abel, then he will definitely say it is Castle Harry, because Harry Castle is the spiritual sustenance of Earl Marshall. As powerful as he is, so will his enemies.
If one day his enemies attack Harry Castle, even though he has the protection of Tarin Flavi, he will not be able to exert the protection ability of the war fortress because of the distance.
And because the people living in Harry Castle are basically ordinary people, and Earl Marshall is also an ordinary person who cannot live in a magical environment, so there are many wizards' defense methods that cannot be used in Harry Castle.
It's just that a defensive circle is not strong against the defense of Harry Castle, and it can resist ordinary knights or junior wizards, but for intermediate and senior wizards, it is only a matter of time before the defensive circle is broken.
So he needed a means to protect Castle Harry and Earl Marshall.
The appearance of Barbara made this possible. What could be a better guardian 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 Temple of Titans, and Abel is recognized by the control card of the Temple of Titans. This indirect relationship allows him not to consume the space of the soul contract. You can have control of Barbara.
In the basement of Castle Harry, Abel stands in the middle of the basement with Earl Marshall.
"Uncle Marshall, this is Barbara who I found specially for you to guard Harry's Castle!" Abel released Barbara from the space beast ring, and then introduced to Earl Marshall.
Since Abel and Barbara have formed a contractual relationship, this allows him to communicate with Barbara without having to activate the spirit whisperer ability.
"Barbara, this is my uncle. From now on, you will be here to guard this castle, guard him!" Abel said to Barbara, who had just come out and was still extremely sluggish.
"Abel, you let it guard me?" Earl Marshall looked at the weird huge plant on the ground that looked like it was about to wither, and there was a stench emanating from the flower, and he couldn't help asking suspiciously.
It is true that Barbara's sales are very miserable now,
This change of shelter has done a lot of damage to it. There are only a dozen or so roots left, plus the trunk without leaves, and the somewhat withered flowers. This appearance is not to mention protecting others. It is hard to say whether it can live by itself.
"Uncle Marshall, don't underestimate it. Barbara will guard Harry's Castle for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years!" Abel said with a smile.
At this time, smaller roots protruded from the roots of Barbara, and the originally curled perfect gem was wrapped by the tiny roots, and a large amount of energy was absorbed from the perfect gem.
It was almost visible to the naked eye, Barbara's body was like a plant entering spring, it immediately glowed with vitality, and the huge flowers became brighter, but the smell in them became stronger.
At the root of Barbara, countless tiny roots protruded from the root, and they grew and elongated rapidly. The roots pierced the basement floor, and its body slowly sank into the basement.
Where Earl Marshall did not see, Abel could sense that Barbara had built a hiding space of his own underground, which happened to be in the middle of Harry Castle, and in order to protect the entire Harry Castle, its roots were constantly growing. growing.
Slowly the entire underground of Harry Castle was covered by Barbara's roots. As long as it is needed, it can turn the whole Harry Castle into a forbidden place at any time, and it can make the enemies of Harry Castle feel the power of countless roots. .
The reason why Abel brought Earl Marshall here was to let Barbara remember Earl Marshall's aura. In case he left in the future, Earl Marshall could also call for Barbara's help at any time.
"Is this Barbara very powerful?" Although Earl Marshall didn't know the methods of the wizard, he knew that Barbara's was not simple after seeing the situation in front of him. He asked.
"Uncle Marshall, with Barbara, all wizards in the entire Holy Continent don't have to worry about coming!" Abel said softly.
If it wasn't for his serious expression, Earl Marshall really thought he was joking.
Of course Abel was not joking, as long as the forbidden magic space is opened, wizards are not as good as knights, at least the wizards here in the Holy Land cannot break through the forbidden magic space.
Barbara's placement Abel was not told by anyone except Earl Marshall. This existence will become the most important secret of the Harry family, because Barbara's lifespan is almost infinite, and together with the housekeeper Bartoli, it will be the eternal treasure of the Harry family. guardian.
Of course, Bartoli and Barbara don't need to meet each other, because they both belong to Abel's contract object, and they have an instinctive connection in breath.
Abel retreated again, and he returned to the Magic Tower and never showed up again. This kind of thing is used to the entire Principality of Kamai.
The Principality of Kamai is also slowly stabilizing the land it owns, and the war in the human world of the Holy Continent is still spreading. Except for the three major empires, other principalities have been involved.
The three empires did not stop the war between the duchies, perhaps to fundamentally solve the human food problem, then reducing the population is the best way.
What else can reduce population more quickly than war?
The human world in the Holy Continent has fallen into the abyss of war, and even the five principalities that originally bordered the Principality of Kamai did not avoid it.
The war caused the aristocratic system of the human world to collapse, and a large number of noble families disappeared, while another part of the nobles annexed other nobles and became stronger.
Naturally, powerful nobles will no longer be limited to ordinary nobles. Their ambitions make some powerful nobles need more rights, which makes some duchies disappear, but new duchies appear.
In order to become stronger and occupy more land, these newly emerged principalities have reduced food production, but this has also made the value of the land higher.
In the turmoil of the human world, the Principality of Kamai stood there firmly, and no principality dared to have other ideas for the Principality of Kamai.
In this chaos, the dwarves sent a large number of engineers to Gamba City and Biri City, and carried out major construction in the two cities. Not many people knew the content of this construction.
Of course, the construction of the dwarves this time cannot be hidden from the three empires, because the Kingdom of St. Polde, the Kingdom of St. Arvo and the Principality of Cameron signed a peace agreement, so they only asked about it, and they didn't ask too much. meddle.
The Kingdom of St. Ellis is different, because the reconstruction of these two cities was carried out in the kingdom of St. Ellis, which has a serious impact on the prestige of the empire. doubts.
The dwarves rejected the question of the Kingdom of St. Ellis 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, the relationship between the Kingdom of St. Ellis and the Principality of Cameron was most affected. Although Abel knew that His Majesty Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Ellis personally approached the Assassin Guild to issue an order to assassinate him. order, but before Abel did not take the initiative to tear his face, the Principality of Cameron 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 Ambrose and the eldest prince Alec are discussing.
"Father, why do you openly question the fact that the dwarves helped the Principality of Kamai to build a defense system? You must know that this is an official confrontation with the Principality of Kamai and Grandmaster Abel. Our empire wants to fight against Grandmaster Abel. It took a lot of thought to make a good deal, so is it worth it?" Eldest Prince Alec didn't understand what His Majesty Emperor Ambrose did. At this time, there were only father and son in the study, so he asked directly.
"Alec, you are in control of the intelligence system. You should know that the Assassin's Guild has recovered!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose did not answer the question of the eldest prince Alec, but asked instead.
"Yes, the Assassin's Guild has gradually recovered a large number of mission points by taking advantage of the turmoil in the human world. Although the loss is huge, its strength has roughly recovered by about 70%!" As the leader of the St. Alice Kingdom's intelligence organization, Of course the eldest prince Alec knew about these things, he nodded and said.
"Then do you think the Assassin Guild can be let go just like this with Grandmaster Abel's temperament?" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose continued to ask.
"No!" The eldest prince Alec has analyzed all the information about Abel and has a very good understanding of Abel's character.
"Alec, then tell me how the Assassin's Guild will be restored now?" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose asked again.
"In my opinion, the Assassin's Guild should have satisfied Grandmaster Abel's request, that's why he let the Assassin's Guild go!" Eldest Prince Alec thought that His Majesty Emperor Ambrose was testing him, and replied.
"I got the news from the dwarves and the elves that the mission points of the Assassin's Guild, which had been blocked, are 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 the elves talk so easily!" The eldest prince Alec has information about the human world, and he has not paid attention to the information about the dwarves and elves recently. Overwhelmed.
"So I suspect that the Assassin's Guild has already been mastered by Grandmaster Abel, because only he has such a relationship with the elves and dwarves, so that the two tribes can 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 Cameron and Abel?" the eldest prince Alec asked puzzled.
Once the Assassin's Guild is mastered, then the Principality of Kamai has mastered the power of the dark world. Although this power does not appear to be anything on the surface, it will be greatly enhanced in terms of intelligence and force.
"Because Grandmaster Abel was assassinated, 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 have placed this order. It is almost impossible for a thousand-year-old organization to be wiped out by a young wizard. He never thought that it would be like this result.
"What!" the eldest prince Alec exclaimed.
Although he knew that there were all kinds of filth in politics, he was the king of a principality, a real nobleman, a master blacksmith, and a wizard. Regardless of his status, his life should not be threatened.
The most important reason why nobles are envied by countless people is that even if they are defeated, they are rarely killed by their opponents, usually they are redeemed or exiled.
After becoming a great nobleman, there is basically no need to worry about the danger of life, because the noble system protects the great nobles, and the great nobles are the foundation of the human world.
"Now you know the reason why I reacted so much to the dwarves building a defense system. The Principality of Kamai can no longer be stronger, and it will threaten the foundation of the empire!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said in a deep voice.
"But Grandmaster Abel wouldn't directly go to war with the Empire for the orders of the Assassin's Guild, would he?" Eldest Prince Alec asked with a little confidence.
Based on his understanding of Abel, he really couldn't see what Abel would not dare to do.
"Maybe you don't know, your intelligence system didn't find out one thing. The Principality of Cameron and the other two empires have signed a peace treaty, but they didn't bring the Kingdom of St. Ellis!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose saw something in his eyes. A sharp ruthlessness.
"Father, could it be that the Principality of Kamai is a vassal state of the empire, so it didn't sign a peace treaty with the empire!" The eldest prince Alec said something that even he himself didn't believe.
Regardless of whether the Principality of Cameron will sign a peace treaty with the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the fact that the Principality of Cameron signed a peace treaty with the other two empires should show the empire that this is the attitude that a dependent country should have.
"Father, we can't have a war with the Principality of Kamai, the empire is powerless to fight another war!" The eldest prince Alec knew the reason why Emperor Ambrose wanted to talk to him today, and he said with some pleading.
How strong is the Principality of Cameron? His intelligence system has a lot of information. If he fights with the Principality of Cameron, even if he wins, it will greatly reduce the strength of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, not to mention the increase in the strength of the Principality of Cameron now. too fast.
Because of the war in the human world, the entire family of countless knight families immigrated to the Principality of Cameron, and the Principality of Cameron just happened to annex the Principality of Keen, and has a lot of land to accommodate them.
The strength of the current Principality of Cameron is only a little weaker than the Kingdom of St. Ellis, 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 his private relationship in order to seek reconciliation, but Abel refused to even meet the envoy he sent, so he drove him away.
If there is even a chance of reconciliation, he is not prepared to turn against Abel.
To be honest, he is very afraid of Abel's strength. The unknown is terrifying. A man who is powerful enough to kill many senior wizards, kill six high-level orc priests, and destroy a city makes him terrified.
As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, he doesn't want to go to war, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of Abel. He is also resentful. The method of assassination is just a conventional political method. In the entire Holy Continent, which empire principality does not have more or less Participate in assassination orders.
If one party places an assassination order, you can counterattack and place an assassination order as well.
But Abel's various performances showed that the Principality of Cameron is accumulating strength and will be an enemy of the Kingdom of St. Ellis.
If it is an ordinary principality or the king of the Principality of Cameron is not Abel, His Majesty Emperor Ambrose will not be afraid. This is mainly because of Abel's temper and temperament. He discovered a pattern from studying Abel's growth.
All the opponents against Abel, none of them can live safely, either by accident, or directly killed by Abel, in short, no enemy can live for a long time.
That's all for one enemy, every enemy will be killed, which makes people feel the problem, whether it is Abel who kills or not, but it must be related to Abel.
It is for this reason that even if His Majesty Emperor Ambrose no longer wants to be an enemy of Abel or war, there is no guarantee that Abel will retaliate against the Kingdom of St. Ellis after he becomes stronger.
In fact, from the time he sent the envoy, he was ready to pay a huge price to Abel, no matter how much the price could be, as long as he could restore Abel's attitude, he could bear it.
But how could he have thought that Abel didn't think so, his wizard strength improved so fast that he might become a high-level wizard in just a few years, that is to say, he might become a senior wizard in After a few years, he left the Holy Continent.
Then he needs to get rid of all the dangers when he leaves the Holy Continent. His Majesty Emperor Ambrose can find someone to assassinate him by means of subterfuge. You must know that when His Majesty Ambrose ordered to assassinate him, the two parties The relationship is very harmonious.
Even this kind of relationship will be assassinated, then once he leaves the Holy Continent, the Principality of Cameron in the Holy Continent, Harry Castle, his relatives, will his friends be assassinated by His Majesty Emperor Ambrose, will he 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 Principality of Kamai. This example requires strong strength and sufficient identity.
And the Kingdom of St. Ellis just fits this point. As long as the Kingdom of St. Ellis is destroyed, at least no one in the human world of the entire Holy Continent will dare to provoke the Principality of Kamai anymore.
This is 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 arose.
In the end, he just wanted to kill His Majesty Emperor Ambrose. The increase in the strength of the Principality of Kamai gave him ambitions to provide a better growth environment for the family and to create a powerful empire with the demise of an empire. nation.
"I have already approached the ancestor, he agreed to make a move, and he can also invite three of his seventeenth-level senior wizards to make a move together, plus fifty or so intermediate wizards from the empire, and 20,000 official knights, I will I don't believe that with such strength, who else can resist the footsteps of the empire!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said in a deep voice.
"Father, the wizard guild has already stipulated that senior wizards are not allowed to intervene in worldly affairs. If the ancestor meddles in the war with the Principality of Kamai, once the wizard guild finds out..." the eldest prince Alec heard that the ancestor was going to make a move, and he felt in his heart He couldn't help but feel relieved, but he still had some concerns.
"The ancestor is already an eighteenth-level senior wizard, and no one in the entire Holy Land knows about this!" His Majesty Emperor Ambrose said proudly.
What is the concept of an eighteenth-level senior wizard? It is the strongest and invincible existence in the Holy Continent. Existence like a god.
The Wizards Guild would find trouble with one senior wizard of the eighteenth level and three senior wizards of the seventeenth level for Abel's sake. , and are friends with each other.
"Father, the most important thing is the issue of food. Once we go to war, will the empire's food reserves be enough for a war?" Alec, the eldest prince, has no resistance to the war in his tone, and he is 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 problem of food, and even has a solution.
"The title is for food!" The eldest prince Alec had a bitter expression on his face. When did the empire rely on selling the title for food.
Selling titles in exchange for food would cause major repercussions in the entire aristocratic system. Even if this war was won, the consequences would be very serious.
……………………
Abel didn't know the plans of the Kingdom of St. Ellis. He was still in retreat, and all government affairs were handled by the ministers, and the ministers could handle all government affairs without the king's participation.
It has been more than two months since he came back from the ocean. One morning in early April, Abel just came back from the dark world. He was sitting in the elven garden outside the magic tower, drinking juice and resting, when the voice of Tarin Flavi sounded.
"Master, Master Bernie the Dwarf and Lady Carrie the Elf have something to see you!"
"Why did they come to me together?" Abel murmured to himself in some puzzlement, then drank the juice in the glass in one gulp, and his body disappeared in a flash of white light.
In the drawing room of Castle Harry, Bernie was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
On the other hand, Countess Carrie's face was rarely pale, as if she was approaching a beast. She didn't even dare to move her body. She had been like this since she entered the drawing room of Castle Harry.
"Lady Carrie, what's the matter with you?" Bernie asked hurriedly when he noticed the miserable appearance of Lady Carrie.
"Un... Bernie, it's nothing... it's nothing. As soon as I got here, I felt great danger!" Countess Carrie was distracted by Bernie's question, and woke up from extreme panic.
"This is Grandmaster Abel's territory, what danger can there be!" Bernie looked around and asked puzzled.
At this moment, a white light appeared, and Abel's figure appeared in the living room.
As soon as he appeared, Countess Carrie felt light on her body, and the sense of danger that nearly collapsed her suddenly disappeared, causing her to take a few deep breaths.
"Lady Carrie, what's the matter with you?" Abel immediately asked what was wrong with Lady Carrie as soon as he entered.
"Countess Carrie said that she felt a great danger here, you said it was funny!" Bernie said with a big laugh.
He is a frequent visitor to Harry's Castle, and he often comes to Harry's Castle to eat and drink. He knows that this is almost the safest place in the entire Holy Land.
Just because three senior wizards of the seventeenth level died here, it became a holy place that both knights and wizards admired. No knight or wizard dared to do anything here.
But Abel knew the reason why Lady Carrie was like this. Lady Carrie was a mid-level druid with a high sensitivity to plants, and she and Bernie appeared in Castle Harry, as strangers, of course Will get the attention of the underground Barbara.
Like Bernie who received Barbara's attention, his own strength is not high, he can't perceive Barbara's existence at all, and of course he won't be afraid.
But Countess Carrie is different. As a Druid, she can clearly perceive the existence of Barbara, the extremely powerful sense of oppression, the threat of life being taken away at any time, so how does a high level compare to a low level? The feeling of oppression made her hardly dare to make any movements.
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 under Harry Castle and is still recovering. Perfect control of its own power and influence.
"Mrs. Carrie, I'm sorry, I've installed some security measures in Harry's Castle, which made you uneasy!" Abel explained with a smile.
Lady Carrie certainly didn't believe it was a security measure, but she also knew that it was Abel's secret and she didn't need to explain it to her, so she forced a smile and nodded.
"Bernie, you haven't come here for some time. What's the matter with coming to see me with Lady Carrie today?" Abel asked.
"Grandmaster Abel, I'm here today to ask for something. Our family needs 20 barrels of Grandmaster wine, so please open it!" Bernie said a little embarrassed.
He knows the effect of Grandmaster Wine, and its powerful effect is an accelerator of cultivation for dwarf wizards. Every purchase is calculated by bottle. The request this time is indeed a bit excessive.
"Master Abel, I'm also here to ask for twenty barrels of Grandmaster wine, and I may order from you regularly in the future!" Countess Carrie didn't know the value of Grandmaster wine, 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 an ordinary product.
"Grandmaster wine, why do you want so much?" Abel asked puzzled.
You must know that the price of food has soared now, and there is a huge gap in wine brewing. Now all the raw materials of master wine and master wine are brewed by the Principality of Cameron itself, and a large amount of grain has been invested in it.
If the production is increased, more food will be needed. Now food is life. If it weren't for the relationship with the dwarves, he couldn't stop supplying master wine and master wine, and he wanted to stop wine making.
"Master Abel, to tell you the truth, Lord Emmanuel, the blue dragon of the Dragon Clan, knew about the Grandmaster Wine from somewhere, and he asked the dwarves to provide the Grandmaster Wine. I have no choice but to beg you!" Bernie said. Said with a pitiful look.
"Grandmaster Abel, the elves are the same, because I know you well, so the clan sent me to buy Grandmaster wine!" Lady Carrie continued.
Well, it's no wonder the two races, it was he who caused the trouble himself, and he picked out the alcohol addiction of the master of the blue dragon Emanuel.
"Emmanuel the Blue Dragon, I know him, I'll explain to him later, the production of Grandmaster Wine has been low recently, let me explain to him!" Abel waved his hand shyly.
"Abel, you're not lying to me, are you?" Bernie was startled and even forgot that Lady Carrie was there, and he asked directly without using honorifics.
"Bernie, do I look like a liar?" Abel replied angrily to Bernie.
Bernie wanted to say 'like' very much, but he really didn't dare to say it out loud. Since he met Abel, Abel had never lied to him about anything except his own inconvenient secret.
It's just that Abel said this time that he knew the blue dragon Emmanuel. He really couldn't believe it. It was a blue dragon, a dragon clan from the Holy Continent.
The ocean is not dangerous. The dwarves sent out seven skyships and only two came back. The dragons have always regarded the sea around the holy land as their back garden. The reason why the holy land is free from the attacks of sea spirit beasts is that Because of the guardianship of the dragon clan.
As for how proud the dragons are, the dwarves and elves know best. Even if the two races continue to provide various resources for the dragons, what they get in return is only an insincere promise of protection. Perhaps when the race is most dangerous, the dragons Only one time to help.
