Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1423: Discussion Result

By the time Abel started his journey to the Saint Castle, Wizard Smith, Wizard Hawthorn, and Headmaster Eugene were already waiting in the biggest hall there.

It was where the city’s ruler lived, but at that moment everyone, including the servants, was sent out.

Abel transferred from the Temple of the Moon Goddess and flew towards the Saint Castle.

This was his best method to get there, since he still did not trust the Wizard Union, especially after they refused to meet at his Golden Castle.

His first God Rank and Doff’s avatar followed him. That way he could match the forces the Wizard Union had sent. With Headmaster Eugene on his side, he should be able to fight even if things went south.

——

“Headmaster Abel!” Headmaster Eugene stepped up and smiled as Abel arrived. This move immediately separated Abel from the two God Rank wizards.

“Headmaster Eugene, please excuse me for being in seclusion and not helping with any of the dragons’ business!” Abel bowed to him.

Ever since he had become a Dragon Headmaster, he had never done anything he was supposed to do. Instead, he had always focused on his training.

“Headmaster Abel, you still supported the dragons a lot!” Headmaster Eugene laughed.

Almost every dragon alive today had access to the Super Healing Potion, so their strength had taken a big step up.

In comparison, the Wizard Union’s forces fighting against the Holy Kingdom had taken a hit without the Super Healing Potions. In addition to that, the dwarves had also become a strong team of builders for the dragons, which made up for their biggest weakness.

Only then did Abel smile at the God Rank wizards on the other side.”Greetings!”

“Greetings, Headmaster Eugene!” Wizard Smith and Wizard Hawthorn both bowed.

Abel was quite neutral towards Wizard Smith, but he immediately sensed a threat when he turned to Wizard Hawthorn. Although that sense of threat was deliberately hidden by Wizard Hawthorn, Abel still felt it with his perfectly precise intuition.

Still, he did not care too much, considering how bad their last interaction had gone. He was just confused. Why would the Wizard Union send the wizard he hated the most to negotiate with him?

“Everyone, have a seat!” Headmaster Eugene waved them to their chairs.

Abel cheerfully took a seat, while the two wizards followed on the other side.

Wizard Smith got directly to the point. “Headmaster Abel, the Evil Kingdom is performing some crazy massacres on our second line of defense, because the Warding Wall of Doomsday was damaged!”

“Wizard Smith, I know what you are trying to say, but I am not responsible for the dwarves’ business!’ Abel smiled thinly.

Since when did the Wizard Union start caring about the lives of ordinary people? Abel was confused, as not long ago the Wizard Union had planned to burn two million dwarves alive.

“Headmaster Abel, we’ve already talked to the dwarves, and they will not do anything without your consent!” Wizard Smith said helplessly.

All the dwarves were extremely loyal to Abel. Even if Abel told them to take care of their own business, they would not help Abel’s enemies!

“Wizard Smith, do you think the dwarves would still want to work for you after what you did to them? I will not force the dwarves to do anything they don’t want to!” Abel shook his head.

Wizard Smith was already expecting this negotiation to be a hassle, but hearing Abel reject him like that was still disappointing.

“Headmaster Abel, both of us know why the Evil Kingdom is attacking the second line like crazy. It is because of Thief God Milton’s good work!” Wizard Hawthorn interjected.

“Wizard Hawthorn, do you know the Wizard Union has been receiving taxes from those cities? You should be responsible for their safety as their rulers. If you think attacking the Holy Kingdom is wrong, I can immediately recall Thief God Milton!” Abel offered handily.

Wizard Smith saw the tension rising and quickly added, “Headmaster Abel, we are here on behalf of the Wizard Union to ease our tensions, as Headmaster Eugene can testify. We will provide the dwarves with proper amounts of training resources, here are the details of our request. Please ask the dwarves to come take a look at the Warding Wall!”

“Wizard Smith, I don’t want any conflicts either, so I’ll be blunt with you as well. If you want me to order the dwarves to help you, I need the Wizard Union to recognize the status of the Mountain God, the Goddess of the Hunt, the Ice God, and the God of Black Fog!” Abel smiled mercilessly.

He actually didn’t care if the Wizard Union recognized those gods or not, but this way he would have guarantees for their safety, at least before the Wizard Union’s president returned.

Furthermore, they could also spread their faith in the central continent! After all, Abel didn’t want people in the second line to die because of him.

He acted tough, but he still had a soft heart, so repairing the Warding Wall was a must.

“Headmaster Abel, please wait a moment while we discuss this!” Wizard Smith had to delay, not expecting Abel to request something like that. He and Wizard Hawthorn walked into another room and began to discuss the matter with the Headquarters.

“Headmaster Abel, the Wizard Union is no longer the Wizard Union it was. They now have 12 God Rank wizards and every decision they make has to be agreed upon by all of them!” Headmaster Eugene informed him after the wizards left the room.

“The Wizard Union has ruled the world for too long, and their arrogance was bone deep. Changing little things like this probably won’t make much difference!” Abel agreed.

Abel and Headmaster Eugene did not hold back. Even though their voices were soft, those God Rank wizards still heard them. It was not Abel’s intention to hide, and the Wizard Union knew their own shortcomings.

Wizard Smith and Wizard Hawthorn were smiling when they returned. “Headmaster Abel, the Wizard Union has agreed to your offer. I will soon declare to the continents that the Mountain God, the Goddess of the Hunt, the Ice God, and the God of Black Fog are recognized gods. Please let the dwarves know as soon as possible!”

They did not mention how tough the negotiations with the other God Rank wizards were. After all, they had only kept a few weak gods alive after the Era of Gods, but those four newly resurrected gods had thousands of years of hatred for the Wizard Union built up.

Although they were not taking revenge and merely staying in their Divine Realms, the Wizard Union was still worried.

But they had no choice now, as they were on the brink of losing the second line of defense, or even the third!

Another thing that was clear from this was that those four gods were extremely close to Abel, which meant Abel had ten God Ranks on his side when including Thief God Milton!

Therefore, the Wizard Union couldn’t do anything, at least for now.

But s also because of that, those four gods couldn’t attack the Wizard Union on their own, or else it would mean a God Rank war between the Wizard Union and Abel.

“Nice, I’ll let the dwarves know after I return!” Abel agreed happily.

Wizard Smith stood up and smiled in relief. “Headmaster Abel, let’s just put our past to rest. We should start communicating more from now on and avoid unnecessary conflicts!”

He was happy that the negotiations had finally ended. Being the enemy of Abel and losing the dwarves had been catastrophic.

Ever since they lost that huge amount of data, the Holy Kingdom’s Intelligence Department kept getting stronger, and the Wizard Union couldn’t do anything about it.

It was obvious just by the precision of their recent invasions, with large amounts of hidden Teleportation Circles being set up in cities around the central continent by unknown Magic Circle Makers.

“As long as the Wizard Union doesn’t get involved with my business, I will do the same. Recently I’ve been in seclusion and never even thought about coming out!” Abel replied amiably.

When it came to that, Wizard Smith couldn’t help but make an awkward smile. Even Headmaster Eugene shook his head, because they all knew what Rank Abel was.

A Rank 32 Half-god wizard with ten God Ranks on his side, but he was only twenty-four years old. He had only become a Half-god last year; who knew where he could be in another year?

A spark of determination emerged from Wizard Hawthorn’s eyes and he added with a smile, “Headmaster Abel, I propose that the Saint Castle be our meeting spot in the future. Maybe it will go down in history!”

As the negotiation came to an end, the tense atmosphere eased somewhat.

“I hope we can maintain the peace. After all, I do have a lot of friends in the Wizard Union!” Abel agreed to the move.

“That’s great, let’s celebrate!’ Headmaster Eugene stood up and patted his holding belt. Four crystal glasses appeared on the table.

Three of them were filled with Abel’s wine, and the other held juice for Abel.

Everyone close to Abel knew how much he loved water spirit fruit juice. Because of this, the price of water spirit fruits had skyrocketed, and the elves were getting some good compensation for them.

After all, people liked to follow the habits of famous people, so it only made sense that water spirit fruit juice had become an extremely prestigious drink on the central continent.
