Abe the Wizard

Chapter 470 - Harry Castle

470 Harry Castle

“manager ismen, are you saying earl abel is master abel? i heard that master abel was only a baron? and some time ago, his noble status was even scrapped!” officer noyce laughed while shaking his head.“that’s right. earl abel is master abel. i was there when he was awarded a noble title long ago. some of you were also there!” said manager ismen in a certain tone.

by this point, some officials standing by a side began to recall their memory. afterward, they all quickly nodded. although abel had changed a lot, you could still recognize him if you thought hard enough.

“then earl abel is not the banished earl we’ve been thinking about?” tax officer nick asked suddenly.

it was only by this point officer noyce realized how humble viscount dickens was caring in front of earl abel. he loathed his slow reaction speed. viscount dickens was rarely humbleness since he was such a powerful figure.

he scrapped his idea of fighting against abel and steward bartoli. he would be a huge joke if he wanted to fight against a powerful force like this.

viscount dickens left with a few servants. his wealth and belongings had already been moved to his new domain. originally he also wanted to bring a few knights along with him, but he decided against it after knowing abel’s identity.

on top of that, none of the knights in his elite knight brigade wanted to leave anymore after they realized the man they would be serving was earl abel.

abel’s story influenced many young men. although many nobles cared more about profits, knights and warriors worshiped legends, and abel was the legend of harvest city.

of course, those stories were just constructed by a small part of abel’s history. however, they already spread like wildfire in harvest city. even abel himself might not be aware of some of them.

“master, viscount dickens’s is too stingy!” bartoli bowed after she looked around the palace.

“bartoli, what happened?” abel was getting ready to visit harry castle. he didn’t want to stay too long since he said he wasn’t going to care about how things were run, but since he had just become the ruler of this city, there was still something he needed to look through.

“viscount dickens cleared out everything in city palace!” bartoli said in confusion.

“don’t worry; he has already done his part. we won’t interact much in the future anyway!” abel carelessly smiled.

if viscount dickens knew abel was the new city ruler earlier, he wouldn’t have done this. he had destroyed his last bit of friendship with abel with some little gold coins, which was beyond the worst decision he could possibly make in his life.

“how can we even rest here today? there isn’t even any basic day to day stuff!” bartoli knew abel was an earl, so he would lose face if he kept acting carelessly. he would become a joke within the noble circle.

“harry castle has a courtyard in harvest city. we’ll go there today!” abel recalled the place he always used to live in when he visited harvest city.

suddenly a knight came in and said with a bow, “master, a woman from edmund boutique shop named ms. yvette wants to see you!”

since all the servants had been taken away by viscount dickens, the city palace was basically like a hollow shell at this point. there were only 10 knights from the elite knight brigade guarding the door.

“yvette! let her in!” said abel with a slight bend. the name reminded him of the pretty girl with gold hair.

yvette did a female bow the moment she came in. she was not a noble, so she could only do an ordinary female bow, “earl abel. yvette bows to you on behalf of the harvest city edmond boutique shop!”

“yvette, your edmond boutique shop always has the latest news! i was just thinking of asking you for your help!” said abel with a smile.

“earl abel, we will give all we got to serve you!” although she had only just found out abel was the new city ruler, she knew about the situation of the city palace long ago, and she wanted to use this chance to form a good relationship with this new city ruler, hoping it would help the future of edmund boutique shop.

“i will get going, and i’ll leave this city palace to you. my request is simple. just turn this thing into a decent earl palace!” said abel blandly. he did not mention anything about gold coins.

yvette knew how powerful abel was. no bank would underestimate abel since every single one of his weapons could shake up an entire auction house.

“earl abel majesty, don’t worry. we edmund boutique shop will put in our full effort to make you satisfied!” yvette bowed as a guarantee.

the second day, a brigade of 500 warriors and 10 official knights were guarding the city palace carriage towards harry castle from harvest city.

although abel didn’t want to bring so many guards along with him, he would still need to do it for his appearance as an earl, especially since this was the first time he was venturing out.

as abel exited harvest city, he looked back. overnight, the flag in front of the city gate had been swapped into one with a golden chinese dragon.

harry castle was not far from harvest city. it was only after half a day of travel, and that stone-built castle was just in front of his eyes.

“harry castle, i’m back!” abel mumbled to himself.

he saw the familiar stone walls and that familiar unicorn coat of arms. actually, abel had 2 coats of arms. one was his own chinese dragon, and the other was the unicorn. he got his chinese dragon one from battling with the orcs and becoming a blacksmith master. at first, the duchy of carmel didn’t want to give it to him, but they had to, after all he had done.

after a few recoveries, abel’s chinese dragon had now become his earl badge. however, he also had another identity. he was the inheritance of harry castle, so of course, he could use the unicorn as well.

the front gate opened, and a brave looking knight in golden armor was already standing right up front. the steward by his side also quickly saluted.

abel jumped down before the carriage even came to a halt. it was the lord of marshall, abel could recognize him by that shiny golden bull armor he had made him.

“uncle marshall!” abel yelled with a stutter. he left home as a kid, and now he had finally returned. he finally returned to his family’s side.

“abel, you’re an earl now. stop sobbing; you will become a joke to those knights you have brought!” although lord of marshall had said this, his eyes were watering up as well.

“i’m not sobbing. i’m just too excited!” said abel with a big laugh and a pair of sparkling eyes.

he stretched out his arm and tightly hugged the lord of marshall. he could care less about his golden bull armor. abel was already 2 meters tall, so he could hold the lord of marshall up easily.

“abel put me down. you are ruining my reputation!” the lord of marshall yelled.

abel put him down with a face full of smiles.

“you said you were going to become some kind of wizard, but you are still this strong. it seems like i made the right choice by sending you to strike iron back in the days!” the lord of marshall said as he took off his golden bull helmet.

“of course, i wouldn’t be where i am today without uncle marshall!” said abel.

“yeah, right. tell me honestly, did you keep up with your knight training?” the lord of marshall asked gently. although he had his own domain, separate from his family in bakong city, after he gained an outstanding military performance, his family still had a knight inheritance.

and he didn’t want this inheritance to end because of him.
