Abel was attracted to this palace, attracted to Bakong City. He started as a gifted second child adopted by The Lord of Marshall to cultivate his talent. Then he became the heir of a little knight castle and then to the Duchy of Carmel’s king. Everything that happened to Abel since he was transferred to this world was like a dream, yet it felt so real.

At first, he still wanted to find a way back to earth, but now he was fully invested in this world. He found a family, a lover, friends, and many people who relied on him.

Suddenly, Abel let go of his mind and soul as all kinds of emotions arose from within. He didn’t care about the benefits from the common world, but an extra duchy would allow his family to live a better life. His offspring would be able to enjoy his glory.

Head Commander Hoover wanted to say something to Abel, but wizard Dunn stopped him.

Both Wizard Dunn and Lorenzo had a strange expression on their face. They sensed a scent of leveling up.

“Hoover, send men to lock up the palace. Kill anyone who enters!” Wizard Dunn whispered.

Head Commander Hoover also realized something was going on with Abel. Although he didn’t know much about wizards, he quickly bowed and left, seeing how serious those 2 elite wizards looked.

Just Wizard Dunn was about to set up a mana gathering circle, Abel reached out a hand and took out a mana gathering circle from his portal bracelet while he was engulfed in the scent of leveling up. Afterward, he placed it on the ground and ignited it.

How did he do that?” Wizard Lorenzo whispered in awe.

Normally as soon a wizard was about to level up, they would enter a completely unconscious state. Although a wizard could free himself from this state, his level up would immediately fail.

Therefore if another person didn’t help a wizard set up a mana gathering circle during a level up, they could only level up by force, resulting in a 99% rate of failure.

Without a supply of mana, a wizard could only rely on the mana within them. It was very hard to sustain them throughout the entire process of leveling up. But of course, there were still some lucky ones who could do it.

Those lucky ones had one common characteristic, an extremely weak body. Abel was a burly guy, so there was no way he could level up if he completely relied on the mana within his body.

Wizard Dunn shook his head. He knew Abel was very mysterious, but it was still very confusing to see Abel setting up a mana gathering circle while engulfed in the scent of leveling up. It was as though there were two of him.

He was not totally wrong; Abel’s main soul really was fully unconscious, but not his druid soul. It had automatically taken control of his body and did what was the most necessary at the moment, setting up a mana gathering circle.

The scent of leveling up got stronger and stronger. Abel sat down on the ground. His consciousness was fully submerged. Even though his druid soul was not conscious, it was still beginning to get affected.

“Mr. Dunn, what rank is Abel?” Wizard Lorenzo turned and asked. He felt that the scent coming out of Abel was very strong.

Since Abel was in the process of leveling up, his transformation necklace couldn’t fully hide his power. His true wizard ability was exposed through his scent of leveling up.

“I heard, maybe, probably…” Wizard Dunn stuttered. He just couldn’t bring him to say rank 7 or rank 8. From his experience, this scent of leveling up definitely felt like the pinnacle of a beginner wizard.

He never heard of Abel leveling up in the past. Since when did he become rank 10 already?

In the past, Abel’s speed of leveling might bring him a little bit of trouble, but this was no longer the case. Just look at Johnson beside him and his ability to freely move around when leveling up. Of course, no one would even think about messing with him.

Abel killed every single elite wizard who had died in the past few hundred years. Even the elite priest who died in the orc battlefield was because of Abel. He was notorious, and people learned to be wary of him.

After a few hours, his scent faded, but they could tell his body was stronger.

Abel opened his eyes and saw 2 elite wizards standing beside him. He quickly bowed and said, “Thank you for protecting me!”

“Abel, I will keep your ability a secret!” Wizard Lorenzo said with a smile.

“One more rank, and you will have a lifesaver. Then, you no longer have to hide!” Wizard Dunn knew why Abel wanted to keep his ability a secret, but his rate of leveling up was too scary.

When Abel became an intermediate wizard, he would be able to move in a flash, and he wouldn’t have to worry about being attacked. With Abel’s spell casting speed and his ability to do so with both hands, he would be much more powerful than other intermediate wizards.

“I only fulfilled the mana a few days ago and the good news made me break through the bottleneck. Thank you so much!” Abel bowed again.

He did not thank them for granting him a domain, but he did so with full gratitude when it came to helping him become rank 10. This might make no sense to ordinary people, but it was expected of a wizard.

Wealth and privilege were external to the soul, and the only thing that mattered was power. With power, wealth and privilege came automatically.

Leveling up was the only thing a wizard desired. Leveling up meant the increase of power and lifespan. Both of these things were unobtainable by wealth and privilege. Therefore, Abel had to thank the one who helped him along this journey.

Wizard Dunn was thankful since Abel was his successor. Wizard Lorenzo also had a smile on his face. He was the only one carrying this favor, and Abel had levelled up unexpectedly. His relationship with Abel had deepened.

In the Bakong City palace hall, all the servants were doing their job carefully since they didn’t know their new master’s attitude. The last thing they wanted was to anger him.

Burbridge, the butler, served the royals for many years. Even though the ruler changed, his job was still to serve. He quietly waited in the hall for his new master to call him.

He kept waiting. His family had served the royals for more than 10 generations.

It was the first time he witnessed a change of king, which probably meant a change of his family.

This young king was a wizard and a Grandmaster Blacksmith with legendary power. This king clearly had the power to rule.

His duke title was granted from war glory. Even without a ceremony, a huge welcoming emerged from Bakong City. Just the name Grandmaster Abel was legendary in Bakong City.

Becoming the King was just another layer of glory to this name. His power made every citizen in Bakong City feel safe, even including Butler Burbridge.

“Burbridge, Earl Brook from the Harry family, Earl Edmund from the Marlo family, and Earl Eno from the Lans family wants to see his majesty, Abel!” A young servant stepped up to Butler Burbridge and said with a crisp voice.

“Take them to rest in the second palace. His Majesty has no time to see them!” Butler Burbridge gazed at the hall and spoke with a soft voice.

The servant bowed, but Butler Burbridge stopped him the moment he was about to leave.

“Make sure to treat earl Brook well. Don’t embarrass us!” Butler Burbridge warned.

The Harry Family in Bakong city was originally the same as the Harry family in Harvest City. However, ever since The Lord of Marshall was granted a domain in Harvest City due to his War glory, he had established a new family. Still, they belonged to the same bloodline.

That was why Butler Burbridge warned the servant to take good care of Earl Brook. He was basically the king’s grandfather.
