Abe the Wizard

Chapter 781 - Situation



Chapter 781: Situation

Of course, Abel didn’t actually train in the training room. After he made his first move in a flash, he brought the rune word ‘insight’ back to his own magic tower and went straight to the Dark World. He had more time to practice there.

While he practiced ‘move in a flash,’ many things happened in the Holy Continent. There was the birth of a Master Alchemist in the Holy Continent., unseen in a thousand years. This master alchemist was an elf, which was no surprise.

Everyone in the Holy Continent knew, only elves were qualified to become a Master Alchemist. And the very few that knew about the truth did not say anything.

Bernie had been waiting in Harry Castle for a few days. But since Abel was doing his training, no one in the castle could get in touch with him.

This training session might last for a long time since Abel needed to master every single intermediate spell. With the aura of the rune word ‘insight,’ as a spell as his speedy spell casting spell, he could learn spells faster than any wizards.

Normally wizards took at least 3 months to master the ‘move in a flash’ even if they were doing it in the training room. However, Abel was confident that he could master every intermediate wizard spell in 3 months by taking advantage of the time difference in the Dark World.

Abel had disappeared, and he was nowhere to be seen in the Duchy of Carmel.

As the winter rolled around, wheat began to grow, but every state in the Holy Continent realized one thing: every crop, including wheat, was not growing well.

This wouldn’t be an issue if it happened regionally, but it was happening throughout every inch of soil.

According to the records of the 3 kingdoms, the dwarfs and elves had gone through a similar thing a year ago. The investigation department had already alerted the human world, but the decrease in harvest was not enough to attract too much attention.

After looking at the reports from the orc empire, elves, and dwarfs, a scary thought struck the human empire. The legendary famine that happened once in a few thousand years had begun.

All of a sudden, the price of food shot up in the human world. Food became the most important resource for humans, so all the powerful duchies had used all kinds of tricks to gather as much food as possible.

The structure was starting to shift. Throughout these years, the duchies in the human world were quite united due to the suppression of the 3 big kingdoms and powerful external threats such as the orc empire.

In the past, even if duchies disagreed on certain issues, there were only a few arguments. It was not enough to spark a war between them.

But ever since the orc empire began to weaken, the built-up tensions between the duchies began to surface, and the decrease in food production could further ignite this breakdown.

A special phenomenon was emerging in the human world. Duchies that were known for their agriculture were often weaker due to the low price of food. Other than feeding everyone in the kingdom, they did not have much other income.

The duchies known for their mining industry were often more powerful since they had more branches of income.

Although the tension between duchies had already been established, the 3 big kingdoms were trying their best to keep it under control.

But the tension was like a volcano. The more you tried to suppress it, the more lava it would gather. Once it reached a tipping point, all of its horrors would unleash at once.

Out of all the Duchies, one duchy remained untouchables, and that was the Duchy of Carmel. This was because nobody was willing to mess with its powerful king.

As for the dwarfs, most of their soils were equipped with a water sprinkling system after a year of hard work. They no longer have to worry about water shortages.

The dwarfs were a united bunch. Once they were dedicated to something, their entire race would join. Their vast increase in land had made up for their decrease of harvestable crops. In the past year, they were already able to sustain themselves.

Grandmaster Abel’s image increased once again among the dwarfs. This time not because of his forgery, but the water sprinkling system he had created. It was a simple watering system, yet no one had thought about it before.

Just like that, water towers quickly developed among the dwarfs. All Abel did was alter his original water sprinkling system a little to fit the terrains of the dwarfs, and it had completely solved their water shortage.

Abel was already very friendly with the dwarfs due to his relationship with the Goff family and their Blacksmith Union. Now, almost every dwarf would treat him with extreme gratitude.

This meant the duchy of Carmel had the dwarfs support. It was no wonder why no other duchy would want to mess with it.

Every shop in the duchy of Carmel had gained an extra supply chain, which was the Harvest City. Seemingly endless supply of food was delivered out from this city in lockdown, supplying every shop in the duchy of Carmel.

After supplying spring water for the soils of Harvest City and the entire Orwell Valley, the Third Goddess fountain’s water level had stabilized.

The only reason Abel had used the third goddess fountain water in such vast amounts of land was that he had a duchy, and Harvest City was located in a special area. It was located in the far south of the Holy Continent, far away from any Duchy, which made it very safe.

Of course, everyone in the city who made contact with the spring water had signed a magic contract to keep this secret.

On the other hand, the Orwell Valley is surrounded by magic circles. Its safety was a guarantee.

Just like that, Harvest City and Orwell Valley producing crops without anyone noticing. Still, Abel could not be the savior of the world. He could only stabilize his own duchy and help some friends with certain conditions.

After 3 months, Abel came out from his training session and arrived at Morton magic tower. He then returned the rune word ‘insight’ to the spell training room and teleported to the palace of Bakong City.

Steward Burbridge quickly stood straight when he saw Abel. He bowed and said,

“Your Majesty, the report is here. We have some important news!”

He had been very busy recently. Although the duchy of Carmel was quite peaceful, the entire kingdom was in crisis. The tension between duchies did not subside, and many lords had tried to get in touch with Abel through steward Burbridge.

However, no matter how hard he tried, all they got was a message saying Abel was doing his training.

It was at that moment he realized how much of a hassle it was to have a wizard as a king. No matter how stressed those lords were, nothing in the common world could affect a wizard’s training.

“Speak, what’s so important?” Abel nodded. This was the first time he showed up in months. He needed a report to keep him up to date with the outer world.

“The important news is that every duchy is going through a decrease in food production. The famine has come true. Perhaps a big war will break out among the duchies!” Steward Burbridge said respectfully.

“The Duchy of Carmel was not affected, right?” Abel lowered his voice.

“Yes, even though the food production of the duchy of Carmel had decreased as well, your old domain Harvest City had been a stable source. The food supply of the Duchy is now stabilized!” Burbridge bowed.

“Good. No need to care about other duchies. We are not afraid of them. If anyone messes with us, tell Head Commander Bodley and Head Commander Hoover to teach them a lesson. If you need any wizard for help, call my teacher Wizard Morton. He will organize some wizards for you!” Abel said dully.

Actually, just a team of knights with Abel’s gear could destroy a duchy.
