"Earl Abel, welcome back!

" Said Viscount Dickens with a bow. By this point, his heart began to sing with emotion. Before Abel left, Viscount Dickens had visited Abel, which was already considered a huge show of respect for Abel at the time.

But now, Abel's status was already light years above him. Abel was an Earl, and he was only a Viscount. Abel was an Official Wizard as well as a Grandmaster Blacksmith, while he was a commander at most. A slight bitterness began to arise from his heart, Abel could basically easily suppress him in all areas.

Viscount Dickens's mind was so chaotic that he didn't even remember to introduce the 4 elite knights next to him. At this moment, he also began to laugh at himself. How could Abel be banished? Who in their right mind would banish a Grandmaster Blacksmith?

"Viscount Dickens, we meet again!

" Said Abel with a bow. Afterward, he drew a graceful circle with his hand and also did a welcoming bow to the 4 elite knights behind Viscount Dickens.

"Yeah, you've grown a lot!

" Viscount Dickens exclaimed. Although Abel was still very young, especially compared to those other royal earls, he was an actual kid when he left Harvest City.

"I always remember you helping me, Viscount Dickens. So I've told the Kingdom of St Ellis to let you choose if you still want to stay in Harvest City. They didn't pressure you to leave, right?

" By this point, Abel no longer had to take turns with his status; he could just be direct.

"Earl Abel, they didn't. I am the one who suggested to leave Harvest City. Their conditions are very good, and I am very happy!

" Said Viscount Dickens with a bow. Although Abel might not care about the Kingdom of St Ellis, Viscount Dickens did, so he had to tell the truth.

Of course, the Kingdom of St Ellis had tricked all the inherited Nobles in Harvest City. If they knew their new city ruler was Abel, none of them would want to leave.

Viscount Dickens would not tell Abel about his regret since his departure was set in stone anyway. Even his mansion had been cleared out, but he just hoped he didn't clear it out so soon and have nothing left over.

At first, he thought the new city ruler was a banished noble, so he immediately cleared out everything other than a few chairs. By this point, he felt a little scared.

If Abel knew what Viscount Dickens was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. He couldn't care less about everyday stuff. He had seemingly unlimited amounts of gold coins anyway. Anyone would willingly help him redecorate his mansion form in to out.

"Are you Jules?

" Asked Abel with a friendly voice and a smile as he turned towards the elite Blacksmith.

"Grandmaster Abel, I welcome you on behalf of the Blacksmith Union in Harvest City!

" Blacksmith Jules was so excited his voice sounded almost shaky.

Abel looked around this Blacksmith Union and said with a smile,

"From now on, Harvest City is my domain, and I will invest some gold coins to expand this Blacksmith Union. I will also send a request to the Blacksmith Union headquarter to get a Blacksmith Master to come over here!

"

"My god, you are the new city ruler? Finally, the Blacksmith Union in Harvest City will have a Blacksmith Master!

" Blacksmith Jules was bouncing with excitement. The most powerful Blacksmith in Harvest City is Master Bentham, but that name was how people address him from around Harvest City. He was not an actual Master.

On paper Master, Bentham was only an elite Blacksmith, but a part of his forgery skills had reached a master's level. On top of that, his work was extremely famous around Harvest City, so he had received this glorious title.

By this point, the Blacksmith Union in Harvest City had gained a new life, since this place had become Grandmaster Abel's domain. Abel had promised to invite a dwarf Blacksmith Master to come over. Therefore even though Abel himself would not be a part of their Union, their Union would still become one of the most powerful in the human world.

"Earl Abel, please come to the City Palace, I have already gathered all the people in charge over there waiting for you!

" Said Viscount Dickens with a welcoming gesture.

Abel nodded with a smile. He then turned and bowed to the members at the Blacksmith Union and left.

Outside of the Blacksmith Union, a beautiful carriage awaited in the middle of the road. There were 10 official knights in heavy armor guarding the carriage against both sides. When they saw Abel, they all immediately did a knights bow with both hands in front of their chest.

Although these 10 knights didn't know who Abel was, they were sure this man with an Earl badge behind Viscount Dickens was the new City ruler.

Viscount Dickens did not step on to this City Palace carriage. The moment Abel stepped foot on Harvest City, he was no longer the City Ruler.

Abel placed both hands in front of his chest and gently did a knight bow as well, which showed that he was also a knight. Viscount Dickens was quite surprised. Although Abel was a knight when he left Harvest City, how could he continue his knight training after he became a wizard?

He was confused, but he didn't have the right to ask. His status was way too low compared to Abel.

Although this carriage looked luxurious, it was still nothing compared to his super bull carriage. Back in the days, he had used so many runes to make a carriage, now as a wizard, all needed was a warming and cooling circle to make an air conditioner.

As the carriage began to take off, Abel saw many curious faces along the way. This huge change in the city did not affect ordinary citizens. There were not many inherited nobles anyway, and ordinary people still needed to get on with their lives.

The only thing they knew was that an Earl would take over Harvest City as their new city ruler, but that was too detached compared to their lives anyway.

As Abel gazed outside, he felt a sense of responsibility within him. He would be in charge of the jobs, lifestyle, education, and safety of these people from now on.

Along the way, Abel saw an Edmond Boutique shop branch. It was the place he made his first bucket of gold, but of course, it wasn't even the original one.

Nostalgia arose within him as more and more familiar scenery began to show. From now on, this place would be his home!

Soon, the carriage arrived at the City Palace. He used to think that this fountain was enormous, but now, it just seemed extremely ordinary. It was not even as stunning as the one in his Linate City mansion.

Afterward, a servant stepped up and placed a wooden staircase in front of the carriage, and gently opened the door.

However, Abel did not use the staircase. Instead, he jumped off the carriage directly effortlessly. To the crowds by the side, his jump looked quite graceful.

Viscount Dickens's gaze tensed up once again. Although he couldn't tell Abel's rank, it was clear that Abel's knight skills had already surpassed him. Although that jump looked simple, it required some powerful muscle control to make it look so easy.

Bartoli was tightly wrapped in her robe, but as she stepped off the carriage through the wooden staircase, an immense noble scent still managed to come through.

Viscount Dickens began to question the identity of this quiet and mysterious woman behind Abel. He was one hundred percent sure this was the scent of a noble, a powerful noble.

After Abel stepped inside the hall, Viscount Dickens began to introduce the group of people waiting for him

"Earl Abel, these are all the officers in Harvest City. This is tax officer Nick, law enforcement officer Noyce, and manager of the food inventory, Ezede. This is the manager of the military inventory, Ismen. This is....

"
