Chapter 837: Drinking Party (Three Chapters in One)

"His Majesty the Great Emperor Abel has arrived!" the voice of the Burbeech butler was high-pitched and clear, and in the huge palace hall, all the guests stopped talking, which was a sign of respect for the host of the reception and a reverence for power.

Abel smiled and nodded to the guests, and as he walked to the center of the main hall, he reached out and took out a glass of water spirit fruit juice specially prepared for him from the tray in the hands of the servants on the side, and raised the juice in his hand.

None of the guests would say anything because he didn't have wine in his hand, and since Abel's status has been elevated, he no longer drinks alcohol, but considers himself a real wizard, and he doesn't need to deliberately please anyone, so wine is just a trade item for him.

"Welcome distinguished guests, welcome to His Majesty the great Emperor Aldous from afar, you are still so handsome and dashing, every time I see you, I hope I can still have your demeanor when I reach your age!" Abel's words caused the guests present to let out a good-natured laugh.

His Majesty Emperor Aldous also smiled and nodded, although he was already an old man, but his good cultivation and natural bearing, he could still see the heroic appearance of his youth from him, which was also what he had always been proud of.

He had a smile on his face, and he was very happy in his heart, because the words of compliment that came from the mouth of an emperor who was equally or more powerful made him listen to it with special comfort.

Of course, he wouldn't really take this as a simple compliment, because the details of his life were known to Abel, which could reflect that the intelligence system of the Kingdom of St. Ellis had penetrated into the Kingdom of St. Helwar.

However, Abel's goodwill was sufficient, which gave His Majesty Emperor Aldous more confidence in the negotiation of the next peace treaty.

"And His Royal Highness the Duke of Chesterton, the Honourable Prime Minister, I am deeply sorry that His Majesty the Emperor Manfred was not able to come, please bring me my sincerest greetings!" Abel said to the Duke of Chesterton, bowing slightly.

"Your Majesty, Great Emperor Abel, I will bring your greetings!" replied the Duke of Chesterton, bowing down.

He also understood that Abel was a gesture, a signal to the human world and the entire Holy Continent to show the three empires to live in peace.

The crisis of reduced food production has made it more difficult for the more populous races, the most obvious of which is the human and orc empires, the human world is in chaos, but as long as the three empires can be stabilized, then no matter how big the chaos is, it will only be a small matter, and the impact on the strength of the entire human world is limited.

It is for this reason that the Duke of Chesterton and His Majesty the Emperor Aldous are confident that Able can sit down and negotiate a peace treaty, and now it seems that Able should be of the same mind.

"And my brother Bernie, don't stand so far!" Abel said with a smile as he looked at Bernie, who was standing far away.

Although Bernie is also considered to be a noble person, in this kind of occasion, who are the people closest to Abel, those are the most noble people in the entire Holy Continent.

However, Abel's invitation also made it easier for him to become one of them, even if he didn't speak, just standing among these honorable people would be of great help to him, you must know that Bernie has no talent for cultivation, so his status in the world also represents his status in the dwarf clan.

"Venerable Elven Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert, may you get used to human cuisine!" Abel said as he bowed to Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert.

Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert also smiled and bowed in return.

"Thank you, all distinguished guests, your presence has added even more glory to the Kingdom of St. Alice!" Abel said loudly at the end, then raised the crystal glass and continued, "The reception begins, please enjoy the joy!"

All the guests raised their glasses, and after the first sip of wine, the atmosphere of the reception suddenly became enthusiastic.

The three seventeenth-level high-level wizards under Abel's control, led by the senior wizard of Dana, at this time they no longer had the previous indifference in their eyes, and they only accepted orders to complete Abel's instructions involuntarily.

But just this month, after they received the first month's offering, they were already full of hope for a bright future in the future.

Take the senior wizard of Dyna, for example, the offering he got this month is a 5,000-point exchange right for the Wizards Guild of Leant City, which is worth a lot of points.

It's not impossible for a Dyna-high wizard to earn five thousand points, but he will need to work for months or be involved in extremely dangerous missions.

And now just by becoming the guardian wizard of the Kingdom of St. Alice, he can get the right to redeem 5,000 points every month, which makes him very excited.

What surprised the senior wizard of Dynat even more was that in addition to these, the Kingdom of St. Ellis also built a seventeen-story magic tower for him in the imperial city, which was the top configuration for the wizarding guild of Liante City.

This magic tower is already several times more valuable than his old magic tower that has been upgraded layer by layer, and cultivating in that environment, its effect will also be much improved, which is what he values the most.

The energy consumed by the Magic Tower will be provided by the Imperial Palace, and an energy transmission circle will allow powerful energy to flow from the large defensive circle of the Imperial Palace to the magic tower of him and two other high-level wizards.

This allows their three magic towers to open all the magic circles almost all day long, without having to worry about energy.

In fact, Abel has no choice, as long as the powerstone in his hand is synthesized by the Heradic cube, the purity is incomparable, and anyone who holds it in his hand can see the difference, so he can only provide energy in this way.

Fortunately, he now has enough Leant City wizard points income, so that he can use the wizards' offerings to distribute points, so that the wizards can exchange the resources they need independently.

Because of these, three seventeenth-level high-level wizards, including Senior Wizard of Dana, took the initiative to participate in this drinking party, which also shows that the three high-level wizards are working hard to integrate into the empire.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of peace and stability in the human world, our three empires should join forces to suppress those robbers who dare to wantonly plunder during the food production crisis!" "His Majesty Emperor Aldous said to Abel with a smile.

At this time, Abel had a small circle around him, and everyone in the circle was the true ruler of the Holy Continent, including the two empires, the dwarf race and the elven race, the wizard guild, and the black-robed high-level priest of the orc empire.

His Majesty Emperor Aldous's words aroused the interest of everyone in the circle, because the three empires joined forces, then the relationship between the three empires would be involved, and the corresponding contract would have to be signed.

"Your Majesty Aldous, the Kingdom of St. Ellis has been trying to maintain stability around the Empire, and for this reason the Empire has sent a large number of knights to the weak vassal states to deal with this bandit attack, and I agree with your suggestion!" Abel nodded with a smile.

Abel didn't have any more ambitions, and the current kingdom of St. Ellis was already difficult for him to manage, and he really didn't have the heart to think about more territory.

If it weren't for the provocation of the Kingdom of St. Alice, then he would not have taken this empire into his own hands, all because of the idea of self-preservation.

"Your Majesty, our Orc Empire wants to keep peace with you forever, and on behalf of His Majesty the Lion Emperor of the Orc Empire, I have come to discuss the signing of a peace treaty with you!"

"Your Excellency, the Orc Empire wants peace, and it is not enough to sign a peace treaty with the Kingdom of St. Ellis alone, right?" Abel asked, looking at the black-robed high-ranking priest.

"Your Majesty, the Orc Empire has had a peace treaty with the three major human empires a long time ago, the only difference is that you are now the emperor of the St. Ellis Kingdom, and you need to sign a new peace treaty with you!" the black-robed senior priest bowed and explained.

Abel was taken aback, he had doubts about the black-robed high priest coming to attend his celebration at the beginning, and now he knew for the first time that the three major human empires had always had a peace treaty with the orc empire.

He looked at the people around him, and from the faces of His Majesty the Emperor Aldous and the Duke of Chesterton, he saw an affirmative answer.

He saw the unsurprising looks on the faces of the other guests, and then he realized that the Orc Empire did not seem to be a true mortal enemy with the human world.

Think about history, at most, a small group of orcs with low combat power in the orc empire will appear in various principalities, more to train new people, and this kind of thing has never happened in any empire.

Except, of course, of the incident that caused the Kingdom of St. Ellis to lose the Griffin Knights, but that time there was also no large-scale army, but only a quick operation.

This kind of incident is more of a friction at the imperial level, and this friction also occurs from time to time between the three empires.

Come to think of it, it is clear that after winning the war with the Orc Empire, the human race did not continue to expand the results of the war, but still bounded by the Miracle Wall, and still left the Orc battlefield empty.

"Your Majesty, it is too sudden that you became the emperor of the St. Ellis Kingdom, there are many situations that no one has explained to you clearly, the orc battlefield is a battlefield for humans and the orc empire to train human wizards, as well as orc sacrifices, without that battlefield, it is impossible for the Holy Continent to cultivate a large number of wizards and sacrifices with combat experience!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous whispered to Abel on the side.

"In other words, if the Miracle Wall exists, it will not pose a danger to the human world?" Abel asked with a feeling of dry mouth.

"No, Your Majesty, once the Miracle Wall is lost, then in the battle with the Orc Empire, we will lose the initiative, and the Orc Empire, with the help of the Miracle Spirit, will gain an advantage over the human wizards, and then countless human wizards will die in front of the Miracle Wall, and the Orc Empire will get more resources. His Majesty the Emperor Aldous then explained.

"Peace requires strength!" Abel sighed softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, peace requires strength!" His Majesty Emperor Aldous said to Abel with a smile.

The guests in the small circle on the side did not deliberately listen to the conversation between the two, and it was not until Abel turned his head to speak to the black-robed senior priest that he became focused again.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, the Kingdom of St. Ellis will live in peace with the Orc Empire, and there will be someone to discuss the specific matters with you!" Abel nodded his head and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, may the light of peace shine on the earth forever!" the black-robed senior priest's expression suddenly relaxed, and he bowed down and said.

Abel always had a strange feeling when he heard an orc senior priest say such a thing.

Of course, the black-robed high-level priest was very happy, because the Kingdom of St. Ellis was even more powerful than the previous empire, and its military strength had already posed a huge threat to the Orc Empire.

And the most important thing is that the orc empire is very weak now, this is the weakest time for thousands of years when this powerful orc empire that can compete with the three major human empires is the weakest, the orc war has left them with too many powerful warriors, and Abel has reduced their high-level sacrifices to an extremely dangerous point.

The Orc Empire needs to sign a peace treaty with the Kingdom of St. Alice, which is the most important task of the black-robed high-level priest this time, and if he can obtain Abel's approval, this task will be more than half completed.

For most of the guests present, the reception was an opportunity to communicate with each other, and for Abel, it was to re-acquaint himself with the Holy Continent in which he lived.

In his conversations with His Majesty the Emperor Aldous and the Duke of Chesterton, he learned that the Holy Continent was just a place to cultivate, a place to provide this world with combatants.

There is a strict dividing line between humans and orcs, that is, the Budapest Mountains, which is divided between the strong of humans and the strong of orcs, and the orc battlefield outside the Miracle Wall and the Miracle Wall is a training ground, in which wizards and priests fight and grow.

Of course, this growth comes at a cost, and death is one of the costs.

Being in Abel's position at this time, he could understand the benefits of this rule for human wizards, because if they were like those wizards in the principalities, who only knew cultivation all day long, and even most of the cultivation resources were provided by the principalities, the combat effectiveness of such wizards could be imagined.

It's just that he doesn't understand, what's wrong with this world, why do you need so many wizards with strong combat power, listen to what they say, even the orc sacrifice is the same, these battle-hardened wizards and sacrifices, when they become advanced, they will leave the Holy Continent if they meet the requirements, but who is the enemy?

His Majesty the Emperor Aldous and the Duke of Chesterton were not able to answer Abel, and no one from the various high-ranking people in the entire party could answer him, he knew that Dunn High Wizard must know, but Dunn High Wizard promised him that he would only tell him when he became a High Wizard.

Perhaps it is the most correct choice to speed up the political affairs of the empire and devote himself to cultivation, and become a high-level wizard as soon as possible.

After the reception, there were many changes in the Kingdom of St. Alice, the most obvious is that the parliamentary system was proposed by Count Bennett, due to Abel's strong support, and the major nobles of the empire felt that the power in their hands seemed to increase, so that this parliamentary system was easily passed in the empire.

No one thought that there was a process in the parliamentary system that was the way Abel really controlled the empire.

The members of the parliament are elected by the nobles and the major cities, and the speaker of the parliament is elected by all the members of the parliament.

The process is similar to that of the Elven parliamentary system, but when the councillors are elected, they sign a pact of loyalty to the Empire, which looks very ordinary, but it is a magical pact made by Bartoli.

After signing the contract, each councillor is still serving the interests of the nobles on the surface, but in fact he is completely loyal to the royal family and to Abel.

Of course, the power of the emperor was not weakened, the emperor had all the rights, and the parliament only assisted the emperor in handling government affairs.

The first Speaker was appointed by Abel, and no nobleman objected to this, for he appointed Earl Bennett, and of course after being appointed Speaker, the title of Earl Bennett was also elevated to Duke.

Since then, the Bennett family has truly become one of the great nobles of the Holy Continent, and Earl Brooke has also become one of the three deputy speakers, and the power in his hands is also amazing.

On June 1st, after the establishment of the Council of the Kingdom of St. Alice, the first thing to do was to sign a peace pact with the two major human empires, the orc empire, the dwarven tribe and the elven race, which was also eagerly needed by the major powers.

Since the establishment of the council, Abel seems to have disappeared, only appearing when the peace pact is signed, and after the peace pact is signed, he is never seen again in the affairs of the kingdom of St. Alice.

On June 1st, Abel did not return to the Magic Tower after attending the signing ceremony of the peace contract, because he received an unexpected invitation, so he directly reached the dwarven clan through the teleportation circle.

"Your Majesty the Great Dwarven King Dunbar, Abel of the Kingdom of St. Ellis greets you!" Abel said as he bowed to a dwarf in golden armor and a crown on his head.

This is the Holy Helmet City, where the dwarves' imperial city is located, and Abel's visit this time is not an official visit, but a private visit, and the object of his visit is the dwarf king Dunbar opposite at this time.

Abel has never met with the Dwarf King Dunbar, because the Dwarf King Dunbar was in retreat some time ago, and the Dwarf King Dunbar is a powerful eighteenth-level wizard, and his strength can be regarded as the top three in the entire Holy Continent.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor Abel, my dwarven brother, I have been waiting to meet you!" said the dwarven king Dunbar with a sincere smile on his face and a hug.

Since Abel was a private visitor, the dwarf king Dunbar was also a man and did not follow him.

Able leaned down and hugged the dwarven king Dunbar, a rare act among wizards, as it was dangerous to let go of one's defenses and get people so close.

In particular, Abel is still a two-line grand knight, and the dwarf king Dunbar is just a simple wizard, which shows that the dwarf king Dunbar trusts him and treats him as a real brother.

"Your Majesty, I've been looking forward to meeting you too!" Abel said with a smile after hugging him.

"Let's go, let's talk!" said Dunbar, the dwarven king, with a gesture of invitation.

Abel and the dwarven king Dunbar walked side by side into the tall building, which was very ancient, and its interior height was almost more than twenty meters, which was typical of the dwarven style.

However, the dwarven king Dunbar did not stop at this building, but led Abel directly down a staircase down the building.

"It's all a lie, the dwarves don't receive their brothers on it!" said Dunbar, the dwarven king, laughing.

On both sides of the staircase, countless lighting circles illuminate the entire staircase, which is already different from the style above, and here is full of stone hewn in a very rough style.

After walking up the stairs, Able saw a huge underground city, full of dwarven figures, completely different from the empty buildings above.

"This is the Holy Helmet City, the royal city of the dwarven race!" said the dwarven king Dunbar proudly.

The underground city is wrapped in a huge magic circle, and outside the transparent shield, you can also see the traces of carved mountains around it, and there is no need to illuminate the magic circle here, because whether it is the light emitted by the huge magic circle above the city, or the earth fire that emits fiery red light everywhere in the whole city, it is enough to make this underground city bright.

"Your Majesty Dunbar, Grandmaster Abel!" Walking on the street, Abel's height was particularly conspicuous, and the dwarves passing by all bowed down to salute the two Majestics.

There is a strange phenomenon, that is, Abel is now in the human world, and more and more people are called His Majesty Emperor Abel, instead of Grandmaster Abel.

Among the dwarves, the dwarves still refer to Abel as Grandmaster Abel, which reflects that the dwarves worship the blacksmith grandmaster much higher than an imperial emperor.

Abel looked curiously at everything around him, there were shops that all cities had, countless blacksmith shops that all cities didn't have, and the sound of hammers hitting anvils could be heard everywhere.

As he walked, the Dwarven King Dunbar introduced Abel to the city, the holy city in the hearts of the dwarves located within the Holy Helmet Mountain.

The blacksmiths here are at least high-level blacksmiths, and there is the most comprehensive blacksmith training process here, and every blacksmith who can have an independent blacksmith shop in the city is a master blacksmith, or a future master blacksmith.

Abel only learned for the first time about the terrible strength of the dwarf race in the introduction of the dwarf king Dunbar, so many master blacksmiths, most of the master blacksmiths will live here all their lives and never leave, they have contributed everything to the dwarf race all their lives.

In the past, Abel came into contact with the Gough family, where he also saw the dwarven blacksmith, but only now did he know why the Gough family was a business family of the dwarven clan.

Because the real dwarven blacksmith city is in front of you, compared to the business atmosphere of the Gough family, this place can produce the world's best dwarven weapons and equipment, and only here can have the forging technology that has always been ahead of the entire Holy Continent.

This is the city of blacksmiths, the city of forging, and everything here is for the sake of forging.

Along the way, Abel and the dwarven king Dunbar came to a stone castle, which was not tall, and even slightly short for Abel's two-meter height, but this was the building that was really suitable for dwarves.

In front of the gate of the castle, two full-length war golems with a height of nearly ten meters stood on both sides of the gate, if it weren't for the strong energy fluctuations on the war golems, they would really make people think that these were two statues.

"This is a war puppet, but unfortunately although the dwarves can make it, they can't support its huge consumption, so only these two war puppets are kept!"

Abel's batch of small war puppets is a reduced version of this kind of war puppet, and you can know how powerful this full version of the war puppet is if you think about the horror of the small war puppet.

But now he just took a few more looks, and now the strength in his hands is enough, although this kind of energy-consuming war puppet is good, but there are not many places where it can really be used, it is too big.

Walking into the castle, the dwarf king Dunbar took Abel to a reception room, and a glass of water spirit fruit juice was delivered to Abel by a dwarf servant, it seems that he likes the water spirit fruit juice, this holy continent is estimated to be well known.

In front of Dunbar, the dwarf king, was a glass of Grandmaster wine, he picked up the cup and took a deep sip of the Grandmaster wine, then tasted it, and then poured half a cup into his mouth.

"Whew!" he breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Abel, "Your Majesty, since I came out of this retreat, I can't drink any other wine, and compared to your Grandmaster wine, other wine is like chewing wax!"

"Thank you for the boast!" Abel replied with a smile after taking a sip of the water spirit fruit juice.

"It's just that Bernie's little guy said, you are now going to reduce the supply of Grandmaster Wine and Master Wine by half, is it that our dwarves have given you less exchange?"

Abel can be regarded as knowing the meaning of the dwarf king Dunbar inviting him to come, the trading volume of this grandmaster wine and master wine has decreased, and he has no choice, now with the huge food-consuming empire of the St. Ellis Kingdom, the food production that he could have supported is now a little stretched.

And there is too much grain used in winemaking, and there is no way to buy raw wine in the entire Holy Continent, and the value of grain is too high, so that winemaking has basically stopped in the Holy Continent.

Abel provided a lot of master wine and grandmaster wine to the dwarves, you must know that the master wine alone is synthesized from ordinary wine, and three times the ratio can be combined to double the amount, which makes the food needed more.

The Grandmaster Wine needed more ordinary raw wine, and the brewing of these two kinds of wine seriously affected the food supply of the empire, and Abel thought that the dwarves could not live without wine, so he explained the situation to Bernie.

I didn't expect that the dwarf race was really a race that couldn't live without wine, so it was decided to reduce the supply, but now even the dwarf king Dunbar came forward directly, which was the meaning of directly taking him into an army, so that he couldn't shirk it.

"Your Majesty Dunbar, the grain production of the Kingdom of St. Ellis has dropped so much that the output is no longer enough for the survival of the empire, so we have no choice but to reduce the output of Master Wine and Grandmaster Wine!" Abel spread his hands and said helplessly.

The dwarven king Dunbar actually knew about this, and at this time, he asked the dwarves to take out food to make wine, and they couldn't afford this supply.

"Your Majesty, is there no solution?" asked Dunbar, the dwarven king, at last.

Abel was a little hesitant, the dwarf king Dunbar came forward, if he really refused, it would definitely affect the friendship between him and the dwarf clan, but if he didn't refuse, where would so many food price gaps be solved!

Suddenly he thought of the island in the middle of the ocean, and the almost infinite fish stocks around it, perhaps......

"Your Majesty Dunbar, if you can send someone to catch fish from the Titan Temple, I can exchange Master Wine and Grandmaster Wine for Sea Fish!" Abel said with a smile.

"There's no problem with fishing, but can you eat fish from the sea?" asked Dunbar, the dwarven king, with some hesitation.

There has never been a precedent for eating marine fish in the Holy Continent, and Abel's idea made the dwarf king Dunbar a little puzzled.

"Of course you can eat it, you can test the fish you catch first, and trade the edible ones!" Abel knew of course that the fish could be eaten, he assured.

"Well, Your Majesty, if it is really feasible, then not only will the problem of wine be solved, but even the food of the dwarven race will be more abundant!" said Dunbar, the dwarven king, with a laugh.

Sometimes the food is right in front of you, it's just that no one finds it first, and the dwarves who can go to the Titan Temple are all elites, and no one would think that the fish there can be eaten, because no matter how much food is lacking, there will be no shortage of these dwarf elites, and the dwarf elites will not think about food.

In the food supply of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, marine fish that had never appeared before appeared, and in such large quantities that many thought that the Empire had sent ships into the ocean.

These sea fish are all transactions between Abel and the dwarves, since the dwarves have a marine enclave, they have also begun to develop marine resources, and the minerals and spirit animal resources in the ocean are the key development projects of the dwarves.

The dwarves exchanged a large number of marine fish for master wine and grandmaster wine, and with the technical ability of the dwarves, the fishing tool was just an extremely simple tool.

At the exchange ratio demanded by Abel, the amount of marine fish provided by the dwarves was a staggering number.

Because in the entire ocean, there is only one base for the dwarves to catch marine fish, which is just a drop in the ocean for the almost endless fish resources in the ocean.

Therefore, in the end, the fish exchanged was enough to make up for part of the food shortage of the empire, which also surprised Abel, who did not expect that a mission to help the dwarves eventually became the key to solving the food problem of the St. Ellis Kingdom.

Perhaps the people of the empire are not used to eating marine fish, but from the palace and the major nobles taking the lead, coupled with the reason of hunger, the taste of marine fish itself is very good, and soon marine fish began to appear on the tables of the people of the empire.
