Abe the Wizard

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

No one was expecting the outcome of this battle, especially the overconfidence wizard union. Since they were the ones promoting the fight, it totally backfired.

First, the dragons began to question their dominance by asking if they needed any help.

Of course, the wizard union rejected it. After all, all the god rank wizards were still unharmed, and there was no way they would let the dragons get involved with the affair of the lands. Event with Abel's presence.

Meanwhile, Wizard Smith sat in the hall of the wizard union in front of 2 dwarves.

"Wizard Fara, this is our miscalculation, but I still want more dwarves to help us rebuild the Howling Castle!" Wizard Smith lowered his voice.

Wizard Fara was the most powerful dwarf wizard. As a rank 25, his energy did not stand a chance in front of Wizard Smith, but it still did not stop the fury in his heart after 5000 worker dwarves had died in the front line.

Especially since the 8 god rank wizards who were supposed to protect them did not even get a scratch.

He almost wondered if the wizard union had deliberately set up the attack to kill off the dwarves.

"Mr Smith, I want to know if the safety of dwarves we sent out this time would be guaranteed?" Wizard Fara bowed.

"Wizard Fara, this is war, we can not guarantee anyone's safety, not even ourselves!" Wizard Smith shook his head.

"How many dwarves do you need?" Wizard Fara quickly followed.

"At least 10,000 worker dwarves and puppets, we need to complete the construction even quicker this time!" Wizard Smith lowered his voice.

"I will let the dwarf king know about this!" Wizard Fara helplessly bowed.

"I will be frank with you. The Howling Castle must be rebuilt no matter how many lives were lost, so please give us an answer in 3 days!" Wizard Smith lost interest in negotiating, so he said blankly.

"We will give you an answer as soon as possible!" Wizard Fara stood up and said again.

He left the hall with Wizard Hutton, who he came with, leaving Wizard Smith sipping on a glass of juice.

"Little dwarves want to rebel?" Wizard Smith mumbled with a smirk.

So what if 5000 dwarves died. If there was anyone to blame, it was them for moving too slow.

The wizard union did not know it was the president's words to have the howling castle before the god rank wizards were summoned, so now they had no choice.

The wizard union always made double of everything, so even if one part of the components were destroyed or damaged, they had another one ready to go.

This was why the wizard union still had so much confidence. In fact, the 3rd portion of those components was already in the making.

Wizard Hutton was not looking good as he stepped out of the hall. He was about to say something, but wizard Fara stopped him.

It was only until he returned to the Furnace Fort through the teleportation circle Wizard Fara singled him to speak.

"Us dwarves are a part of the wizard union as well, why are they sending us to die?" Wizard Hutton also roared as he spoke.

"Because our status is low. If we are not so good at building studs, the wizard union would have whipped us out already!" Wizard Fara lowered his voice.

"Since the god of fire fell, we no longer have any god rank power on our side. Maybe that's why!" Wizard Hutton realized and said.

"According to the report, the god of Fire was killed by Doff the god of war, Abel's summon!" Wizard Fara had a special bond with Abel since he saved his life, so this situation is very complicated.

"I heard it was the god of fire who set up a trap for Abel and started the kingdom war, his death was his own doing, so we shouldn't blame Abel!" Wizard Hutton added.

"I have no intention of blaming Abel, but we just can't afford to lose any more workers. How about we ask Abel for some help?" Wizard Fara shook his head.

Worker dwarves were not professionals, but they still needed the power of the will to operate their puppets.

Not all dwarves could become worker dwarves, so that's why their number always remained at 50,000, and they were distributed around the different underground caves of the dwarves for mining and other constructions.

Therefore, losing 5000 of them was already a huge number.

If they sent out 10,000 this time and lost them as well, the entire operation of dwarves would be in danger.

After all, blacksmith dwarves needed a sea of ores to do their forgery, and without them, the reputation they built for themselves after thousands of years would fall.

For a prideful bunch like the dwarves, this was even worse than killing them.

"Is Abel powerful enough?" Wizard Hutton hesitated and asked.

"Abel now has 5 god ranks on his side. So it should be fine along with the god ranks of the wizard union!" Wizard Fara nodded.

"Then let's talk to King Dunba about it!" Wizard Hutton Hutton also nodded.

He did not get overly confident considering his closeness with Abel. The situation they were in was beyond the original contact between Abel and the dwarves.

The wizard dwarves did not hesitate and immediately flashed towards the royal palace.

After a day, Abel got a request from King Dunba to meet in person. With Abel's current status, even the king of the dwarves could not just send out an invite.

Abel didn't know what King Dunba wanted, but his relationship with them was never affected by the god of fire's death.

Therefore, he immediately accepted KingDunba's request and began preparing for a meal in the Golden Castle.

King Dunba v arrived in the most low key fashion with only WIzard Hutton and Wizard Fara by his side.

In the hall, he sat down with Abel taking the master seat and King Dunba taking the guest seat.

With Abel's current status, everyone had agreed to this seat without saying a word.

"Headmaster Abel, I am very sorry for not personally attending Saint Lorraine's adulthood ceremony. I regretted the moment I heard about what happened!" King Dunba bowed and said.

"No worries, you've sent out an ambassador and even prepared a gift, I should be thanking you!" Abel smiled and bowed back.

He knew very well how hard it was for the king of the dwarves to attend any public event.

"Have you heard about what happened in the front line?" King Dunba then looked Abel in the eye.

"No, I've been retreating and did not pay too much attention to the continents!" Abel shook his head, considering how short of time he was.

Especially since he stopped his connection with the wizard union's teleportation network.

Unless something huge happened, the elves and dragons would not bother him.

Everyone could see how fast Abel's progress was, so the close friends who had the right to contact him would try to not disturb him as much as possible.

"Sorry headmaster Abel, did I interrupt your training?" King Dunba stood up again and bowed.

"KingDunba, just take a seat and tell me what happened!" Abel smiled.

"Yesterday 5000 worker dwarves set out in the front line to rebuild the Howling Castle with 8 god rank wizards as guards. However, we were attacked by 6 god rank knights from the Evil Kingdom and all of my worker dwarves were killed!" King Dunba lowered his voice.

"RIP!" Abel bowed

"But soon after their death, the wizard union demanded 10,000 extra worker dwarves to continue rebuilding the Howling Castle. They said they will continue to do so regardless of the cost, and us dwarves just could not handle any more losses!" King Dunba began expressing his frustration.

"King Dunba, as you know, I am a dragon headmaster, so I can't get involved with the continent's affairs, especially when it comes to the wizard union's problem!" Abel understood King Dunba, but he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Headmaster Abel, I have already lost all trust in the wizard union since they had no concern for our worker's safety and well being. Since we are forced into rebuilding the Howling Castle, we dwarves will pay you personally for protecting our workers. It has nothing to do with the wizard union.

Abel hesitated. He was actually in support of rebuilding the howling Castle as it was made for draining the faith of the Holy Kingdom.

As for protecting the dwarves, he was also quite experienced.

On top of that, he too had many worker puppets to speed up the Howling Castle's construction.

It just came down to if the wizard union would agree to let him get involved. After all, he stole a lot of the spotlight in Lorraine's ceremony.

"King Dunba, since you came personally I won't disappoint you. I won't be talking to the wizard union so you guys can figure it out. At the same time I don't trust the wizard union as well, if you need my help, then the god ranked wizard has to stay away. We will only hand over the Howling Castle once the construction is complete!" Abel thought for a moment and said.

"Headmaster Abel, you can leave the talking to us!" King Dunba replied in excitement.

Even though Abel only had 5 god ranks, he trusted him way more, considering their relationship. Therefore no way Abel would watch the worker dwarves die in vain.

King Dunba did not ask Abel how he would protect his dwarves. How god ranks do stuff was none of his business.

In the following 2 days, the Dwarves negotiated with the wizard union. At first, the wizard union rejected their suggestion, but the dwarves insisted, and most of them showed a desire to boycott.

After all, the Wizard Union had over relied on the dwarves on constructions, and cultivating a new construction team would take at least hundreds of years.

Therefore, the wizard union finally agreed to leave the entire construction process to the dwarves. If the dwarves succeeded, they would pay a fair comprehension. If they failed, the dwarves would be the ones doing so..
