Bernie gently twisted the opening, and the wine began to pour out. Soon, it filled an entire cup. Afterward, he twisted the tap to tighten it.

“What do you think? I’ve found a few masters to help me make this thing; it is the most advanced technology out there!” Said Bernie looking at Abel.

Abel gazed at Bernie and nodded, he then stuck out his fingers and suggested, “You can add a filter at the front to filter out all the impurities of the wood. You can also add a ring here to secure it, so you won’t break the barrel if you use too much force!”

After Bernie heard Abel’s suggestion, he could help but filled his heart with respect. This thing was no toy. It was invented by a few masters.

It only took Abel a moment to spot 2 improvements to it. This Grandmaster Blacksmith title was deserved. If Abel knew what Bernie was thinking, he would definitely tell him he was thinking about it too much.

Abel had only suggested this because it was basically a water tap prototype. He knew what an actual water tap looked like before. If he really wanted to improve it, he could give out countless ideas.

“Bernie, you can put this thing here. I’m too lazy to make another one anyway!” Said Abel with a smile.

“Grandmaster Abel, if you want it, I’ll give it to you. I’ll make a few extra ones based on your suggestions and send a few more over!” Although Bernie didn’t really want to give in, he didn’t say anything. Abel had given him some good suggestions, so he could give out as much as he wanted.

“Everyone, come and try my rum. We’ll drink as we wait!” Said Abel looking at his guests.

“Grandmaster Abel, this is Master Wine, not rum!” Said Bernie with a strong voice. He was the one who suggested this name, and it was what all the dwarfs call it.

The good thing about a buffet was that it was self-serve. Everyone took their own desired portions and tried to use this new magical tap to pour themselves a big glass of master wine.

Wizards normally wouldn’t like these strong-tasting wines, but today they were curious to see what it was like after how much the dwarfs had praised it. Soon the wine had harmonized the atmosphere, and all the guests began chatting with people they never met before.

“The Kingdom of St Ellis Elite Wizard Anthem and Elite Wizard Edmond is here!” Steward Edwon’s voice emerged once again from the door.

A smirk emerged from Abel’s face when he heard these names. Finally, in a way, this banquet was made to remind the Wizard Union that he was back and they should reconsider his wanted order.

“Wizard Edmond, Wizard Anthem, it’s my honor to welcome you!” Abel stepped up with a welcoming bow.

“Grandmaster Abel, we came without an invitation. I hope you forgive us!” Said Wizard Edmond with a Wizard bow.

By this point, both Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem realized all 4 of the Linate City Elite Wizards were here. They were not expecting that at all.

The dwarf next to them was the inheritance of the Goff Family, Young Master Bernie. Although Bernie did not have a title and had not fully taken control of his family due to his age, no one would underestimate him in the Holy Continent. Ever since his inheritance had been confirmed, he had become the representative of the Goff Family. His fingerprints could be seen in every large trade.

Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem exchanged glances. Both of them were extremely glad that they had come to this banquet with a good attitude.

“Wizard Edmond, Wizard Anthem, please come. Let’s have some wine before the banquet starts,” said Abel with a welcoming gesture.

“Grandmaster Abel you are too generous, I have a gift for you.” Said Wizard Edmond with a bow. Afterward, he reached into his portal bag and took out a piece of lambskin parchment. He then followed, “The past investigation department of the Kingdom of St Ellis had made a mistake and passed down a wanted order. Wizard Anthem and I decided that this was a false wanted order, so from now on, this order will be scrapped. Here are the documents!”

Abel took the parchment with a smile. He didn’t open it. Instead, he bowed to the two wizards and said, “Wizard Edmond, Wizard Anthem. I’m very thankful for everything you have done for me. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask me!”

These words were exactly what Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem were waiting for. Why do you think they both wanted to rush there? Of course, they wanted to form a good relationship with Abel as well.

Wizard Anthem noticed the single magic staff badge on Abel’s chest next to his Grandmaster Blacksmith Badge. It was an official wizard badge, so he quickly nudged Wizard Edmond.

“Grandmaster Abel, did you become an official wizard?” Wizard Edmond asked in disbelief.

Although all the data from the investigation department had been destroyed, they still remembered Abel’s information in their heart. They didn’t know since when did Abel started to follow Wizard Morton, but they were sure he had only become a rank 3 wizard officially 2 or 3 years ago.

It was already hard to believe that a person could become an official wizard in such a short time, let alone being chased after by their investigation department. Could Abel be a blacksmith genius, and a Wizard genius as well?

“Yeah, I unexpectedly leveled up a while ago when I was traveling around!” Said Abel with a smile.

Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem exchanged glances. Traveling? Abel was being chased after, there was not a single safe place for a wanted person, and Abel still became an official wizard. This would probably be a huge emotional impact on those stuck in rank 5.

Both wizards were more interested in where Abel registered this wizard badge. His wizard badge in the Kingdom of St Ellis had been discarded, and he did not apply for a new one.

“Grandmaster Abel. I’ve helped you to recover your wizard badge, but it seems like you already got a new one!” Said Wizard Edmond, still in a friendly voice.

“Since I need to build a magic tower, I need a wizard badge so I can get some credit points to pay for it. That’s why I’ve registered a wizard badge in Linate City. I will still build my magic tower in the Duchy of Carmel, so I still need you Wizards to look after me!” Abel smiled as he led the wizards to the dining table.

The 4 Linate City Elite Wizards also smiled when they saw Abel leading Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem to the table. However, their face changed when they saw the piece of parchment on Abel’s hand. Although they didn’t know what it was, they were sure that it was a gift.

Normally a gift was not needed in a banquet like this. Only a leveling up ceremony, wedding, or any big anniversary would need a gift.

Did these two Kingdom of St Ellis Elite Wizard even know any basic human dignity? They were clearly offending the rules. This was a huge insult to anyone who didn’t bring a gift.

Only Bernie didn’t seem to care. Abel had been bothering him all this time. Every day he would need to organize people to pick out the best cooking ingredients and send large amounts of Abel free of charge. He even used a teleportation circle to deliver them, but of course, small money like this was nothing compared to their relationship.

Wizard Morton noticed the atmosphere was getting a little tense, so he quickly disrupted “Mr. Edmond, Mr. Anthem. Quickly, come and try Abel’s master wine. It was the dwarfs’ number 1 wine!”

Wizard Morton was within the management of the 2 elite wizards, so of course, they knew each other. Also, he was Abel’s teacher, so he was basically half a host in this banquet. He should help Abel greet his guests.
