Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1096

Because of the hassle, Abel decided it was best to stay in retreat and let his steward take care of it.

Although 10 seems like a lot, there were powerful figures bringing disciples to the golden castle for meals from day tonight.

They limited the disciples those powerful figures could bring. Each of them could only bring one disciple, which meant only 5 powerful figures could reserve a spot.

This announcement also put the guests in an awkward spot. The golden castle had already made it clear that those foods were valuable, so they could no longer come without gifts.

The value of a normal gift was normally 2 light gems, which further limited the spots to those who could afford it.

Abel would not reject light gems. The light gems he needed were 10 times more than normal wizards since a day in this world was 10 days in the Dark World.

Ever since Wizard Johnson’s rank 18 disciple became rank 19 after tasting the food in the golden castle, the wizard union confirmed the power of the food.

3 wizards had leveled up, so there was no way it could be a coincidence.

Of course, it also had to do with a blind faith those wizards had towards Master Bennett considering his super potions.

This faith impacted their souls and made them level up.

A few days later, Wizard Hutton from the Lightning clan brought his descendant Wizard Isiah to the golden castle for a meal. Wizard Isiah was their family’s future, so Wizard Hutton wanted him to be good to Master Bennett. Without consideration for light gems, it was the 4th day he came for a visit.

And on that 4th day, he leveled up.

This made the wizards understand one thing. If those dishes did not work the first time, they would eventually work as long as you believed.

This made the golden castle even more famous, and its daily spot had become the goal of every professional–not only wizards but druids and priests as well.

They all understood one thing. This place belonged to master Bennett, so they should keep it low-key.

23 days had passed since the gold castle went public. Early in the morning, 5 law-defying wizards had already arrived with their disciples. They sat in the dining hall and began chatting.

Suddenly, another law-defying wizard arrived in a flash with a rank 19 wizard.

Everyone on the spot immediately recognized who he was. He was a rank 24 wizard from the Wizard Union, Wizard Durmond, and the wizard behind him was his disciple.

A rank 24 wizard was recognized as powerful in all forces, and they were rarely seen.

Wizard Joshua from the Flaming Mountain was one of the Wizards on the spot, and he was not looking good.

He had some tension with Wizard Durmond, but he still greeted him like the others.

“Am I late?” Wizard Durmond looked around and lowered his eyebrows.

“Wizard Durmond, we reserved our spots 6 days ago. And the next 10 days were booked as well. If you want to join, you must register with the steward!” A law-defying wizard reminded him.

Wizard Durmond immediately frowned when he heard about this. He had no time to wait.

His disciple had been waiting outside of his retreat room for days ever since he heard about the golden castle.

Since Wizard Durmond had been in retreat for years, he only did some quick research on Master Bennett and found out he was a master potion maker with many special potions.

He was also a big druid. The elves were not that respected in the Central Continent.

Therefore, he thought he could just come with his disciple without registering as a rank 24 wizard.

As for Master Bennett’s involvement in a fight between the legendaries, he categorized it as luck.

He was a little interested in forming a good relationship with Master Bennett as well, but it was just not his top priority.

“Wizard Joshua, can you give your spot to me? Let’s forget out past!” Wizard Durmond turned and lowered his voice.

Wizard Joshua was a rank 21. Facing against a rank 24 was not a good idea.

However, Wizard Durmond was speaking in front of 4 other law-defying wizards and their disciples. He would become a laughing stock if he agreed.

“Wizard Durmond, my time is important as well. Ask another if you want!” Wizard Joshua replied.

Wizard Durmond felt his heart start to burn. How could a rank 21 reject him?

He had no consideration for Wizard Joshua. All he knew was that he would be the one getting embarrassed if the others rejected him as well.

However, it was just not a good idea to let his fury out in master Bennett’s castle.

“Let’s go, we’ll go see the legendary light!” He turned and said to his disciple.

Afterward, the research spirit directly teleported them to the platform.

“Wizard Joshua, you better be careful from now on!” A law-defying wizard by his said reminded.

“Whatever, he is not going to invade the Flaming Mountain for me!” Wizard Joshua said helplessly.

His tension with Wizard Durmond was not deal-breaking at first. It originated from Wizard Durmond’s stinginess.

But it seemed like it was no longer after that day.

“Lunch is ready, please enjoy!” Steward Myer stepped in and bowed.

“Haha, let’s dive in!” The law-defying wizards stood up and walked towards the dining table.

Meanwhile, Wizard Durmond was on the platform looking at the legendary light. It was stunning, but he was still bothered by the humiliation he just received.

He took a long breath and forced his emotions out.

For a rank 24 wizards who spent a long time in retreat, emotional problems were a given.

However, normally their powerful will could help, and every wizard guide had their method of dealing with this common problem.

Wizard Durmond just came out of a retreat. He couldn’t afford to let his emotions get to him, or else his progress might plateau or even decrease.

Suddenly, he sensed a leveling up of energy coming from below.

“Let’s go see who levelled up!” Wizard Durmond’s just settled emotion was disrupted once again. He knew he had to face his problem head-on.

His disciple kept quiet as the research spirit teleported them back to the hall.

He tracked down the leveling-up energy and entered the dining hall.

The first thing he saw was a big smile on WIzard Joshua’s face. It was his disciple.

Every law-defying wizard would only pick a disciple with the most leveling potential to have a meal at the golden castle.

After all, each meal cost 2 light gems.

Therefore, there was no way they would pick someone who had not fulfilled the leveling-up prerequisite.

On top of their trust for Master Bennett, this passion gave each disciple a lot of confidence.

Especially under the amazing scenery of the castle, their chance of leveling up was maximized.

After seeing the happy look on Wizard Joshua’s face, the tension in Wizard Durmond’s heart exploded like a volcano.

If Wizard Joshua had not rejected him, it might have been his disciple to level up.

For a wizard, the bond between teacher and disciple was closer than father and son. It was a bond that could last more than thousands of years.

As a rank 24 wizard, Wizard Durmond knew leveling up for himself was not likely. Therefore, he had placed his hopes on his disciple.

If he missed a level up, his potential would take a hit.

“Joshua, damn you!” Wizard Durmond grunt.

Suddenly, his vicious energy filled the hall and lashed out towards the Wizards, including Wizard Joshua’s disciple.

At the same time, the energy was also felt by the half-elf servants and steward Myer.

They were not professionals. Making direct contact with the energy could take their life.

But of course, Abel had it sorted out. The golden castle had the research spirit and magic circle spirit monitor the castle at all times. Immediately, an energy shield appeared in front of them and completely counteracted the energy. As for the other wizards, the spirit did not interfere.

After all, only Abel’s men could have privileges like this.

Wizard Joshua reacted fast and stepped in front of his leveling up disciple to block.

The other Law defying wizards also stepped in front of their disciples. Their face was filled with anger.

Even the law-defying wizards themselves would have a hard time blocking the energy of a rank 24, let alone their disciples.

This was especially the case since most of them were just a step from leveling up. Taking a hit might badly damage their potential.

Therefore, each of them had to be extremely careful.

“Wizard Durmond, are you crazy? This is master Bennett’s castle!” Wizard Joshua roared as he tried to hold down the energy.

He did not use a spell to defend himself. Not because he didn’t want to, but because he knew very well where he was at.
