Abe the Wizard - Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Guests

f”Elite Wizard Lorenzo is here!” Steward Edwon called with a strong voice.

Wizard Lorenzo stepped through the front door with 3 intermediate wizards, and Abel quickly stepped up and greeted them.

“Grandmaster Abel, I must be the earliest one here!” Said Lorenzo with a big laugh. By that point, he already noticed the 3 wizards sitting in the living room, so he followed with a smile, “Maybe not, they are?”

“Wizard Lorenzo, This is my teacher Wizard Morton, and those two are his friends, Wizard Yveline and Wizard Murphy,” Abel introduced.

“Hello, Wizard Morton. You have cultivated a genius!” Said Elite Wizard Lorenzo respectfully.

“Mr. Lorenzo, it’s all thanks to Abel’s hard work!” Wizard Morton replied respectfully as well.

“These are my nameless disciples. If they can do even half of what Grandmaster Abel has achieved, I will be happy!” Wizard Lorenzo introduced the 3 intermediate wizards behind him.

Wizard Lorenzo considered bringing his disciples or not. Normally, people would bring their spouse along with them in this kind of banquet. But since Abel was a Grandmaster and a genius wizard, this chance to interact with him was too good to miss.

A lot of the time, the relationship between wizards and their disciples was even closer than their relationship with their spouse or children. Magic towers were not suitable for normal people to live in, so unless their spouse or children were also wizards, normally they wouldn’t see them often.

Most importantly, wizards would live long lives. Normally, people could not escape aging, and only their disciples could stay with them throughout their entire journey. So, every disciple was like a wizard’s children.

Due to their closeness, Wizard Lorenzo brought his 3 intermediate disciples to this banquet. If there wasn’t a rule stating a maximum of 3 guests to a banquet, he would definitely bring more.

“Elite Wizard Nigel, Elite Wizard Edington, and Elite Wizard Allenby are here!” Steward Edwon’s voice emerged again.

Abel couldn’t help but frown when he was reminded of that public magic staff mission. He was sure Wizard Lorenzo was not the one who set up the mission. He had interacted with Wizard Lorenzo many times, so Wizard Lorenzo could just ask him directly. He owed a favor to Wizard Lorenzo, so he would definitely not decline as Wizard Lorenzo just asked.

This meant that the magic staff mission must be set up by one of these 3 elite wizards. Abel really didn’t like this cheap behavior, but this was not the time to complain. He had to mind his manners.

“Welcome to my banquet. It is my honor to have all of you here!” Abel bowed like a noble to the 3 elite wizards.

“Grandmaster Abel, I hope our surprise arrival doesn’t bother you!” Said with Wizard Allenby with a big smile and bowed back like a noble as well.

If Abel had acted very polite like this, it meant that he was not close to the person. The 3 elite wizards also knew it was not good to go to a banquet without noticing, but they just got the news that the Kingdom of St Ellis had canceled Abel’s wanted order. So, if they didn’t come today, maybe they wouldn’t have another chance to interact with Abel.

Since the 3 elite wizards were not in the invitation list, so they didn’t bring any partners with them. Only guests in the invitation letter have the right to do so.

“The Goff Family’s young master Bernie is here!” Steward Edwon called again.

“Please take a seat first! I need to go greet my guest!” Abel said to the 3 elite wizards in a sorry tone with a bow.

“Go for it. You are the owner. You must be very busy!” Said Wizard Allenby and the 3 elite wizards bowed back together.

The moment Bernie stepped through the door. He directly walked towards Abel, “Grandmaster Abel, I’ve pushed away a few big meetings to join this banquet. You better promise me a full belly!”

Abel bent down and gave Bernie a big hug, “You can eat and drink as much as your stomach can fit!”

Afterward, Bernie pointed around the Burton commander at the back and said, “Those bastards wouldn’t stop bothering me once they heard that you were offering unlimited food. None of them want to get leftovers, so I just had to bring all of them. If you want to blame them, go for it, don’t blame me!”

“Haha, of course, all of you are welcome. I should have written all of your names in the invitation letter in the first place!” Said Abel with a big laugh as he bumped elbow with the Burton 6 brothers.

“Grandmaster Abel, we just want to drink some Master wine. Young Master Bernie just kept all of it to himself!” Said big brother Burton with an odd angry smile.

All four of the Elite wizards were quite surprised to see how good Abel’s relationship with the Goff Family’s inheritance was. Even if Abel was a Grandmaster Blacksmith, it would still probably be very hard to interact with these stubborn dwarfs.

The friendship of dwarfs was extremely precious. Once they recognized you as a friend, they would give out all they got to support you.

On top of that, the Goff Family was a special family among the dwarfs. Their powerful control in the economy gave them a lot more power over the other 2 big dwarf families. Their power was almost on par with the dwarf royalty.

The 4 Elite Wizards were extremely jealous of this friendship. It was truly a type of wealth that could rely on for your entire life.

“Grandmaster Abel, where’s the food? Where’s the wine?” Bernie said, looking around. To his surprise, the food hadn’t been served. There were only some plates of fruit on the table. He thought this was a buffet because he didn’t even see any wine.

“Bernie, the food this time is a little bit different. It’s best to eat it while it’s hot, so the food will only be served when most guests have arrived. Of course, there will be wine at that time!” Said Abel shaking his head. Afterward, he turned and called a servant, “Bring some wine out. The rum is too strong. I’m just afraid you will get full before you even got the chance to try the food!’

“Don’t worry. We dwarves won’t get drunk!” Bernie said with a big voice waving his hand.

The Burton brothers looked at Bernie with a judgemental look. They all knew Bernie’s drinking habit, so they all burst out laughing in the living room.

“Blacksmith Master Joyce is here!” steward Edwon called once again.

Abel quickly stepped up and greeted with a smile, “Joyce, I’m so grateful for your help this time. Tonight you definitely need to drink more!

Master Joyce bowed and said with a smile, “Grandmaster Abel. It’s the Blacksmith Union’s honor to help you. I heard from my dwarf friends that your wine is the best in the world. I will definitely give it a good try tonight!”

“Bernie, here’s your good friend. Let’s chat together!” Said Abel with a smile looking back at Bernie.

“Master Joyce, we meet again!” Said Bernie with a bow.

“Young Master Bernie, my honor!” Master Joyce bowed back.

By this point, that servant had come back with a barrel of wine. He placed it on the table. Just when he was about to open it, Bernie stopped him.

“This is all mine,.You can go first!” Bernie said, waving his hand.

The servant turned to Abel. To his surprise, Abel nodded, so he bowed and walked off.

Afterward, Bernie said proudly, “You know what? This master wine can not be wasted, so after researching, I’ve found a technique that works well.”

As he was speaking, he took out a water tap looking from his portal bag. He plunged the sharp edge at the bottom of the barrel and began drilling it inside.

Abel’s jaw dropped. The water tap looking thing from his past life was invented by this bastard. The creativity of an alcoholic was insane.
