nAfter head commander Hopkins had spoken, he immediately stepped forward a wave of charging impose pressure shot out from his body. It looked like a fountain of water, sending shock waves in mid-air and the surroundings.
nAlmost at the exact same moment when head commander Hopkins shot out his impose pressure, Abel had also stepped forward, blocking The Lord Of Marshall with his body. An enormous impose pressure dashing towards Abel’s body, but he did not budge a bit. He used the five qi main pressure point of his body, and the qi pressure point in his palm to unleash the pale gold combat qi. Although normal people could not see Abel’s combat qi, since it was under his skin, the three head commanders had extremely sharp senses.
n
n
n“An Intermediate knight?!” The three commanders were immediately shocked as they cried in confusion together. Abel’s age wasn’t a secret. He was a 13 years old teenager. However, he had already become a master blacksmith, as well as an intermediate knight. For a genius like Abel, his future would be far beyond the commander’s wildest imagination as long as he takes the right step in his future.
nAt that moment, Viscount Dickens began to regret not sending any reinforcements to protect Harry’s castle. Whilst head commander Hopkins was also regretful for his impose. He might have caused an awkward situation, and it was not his intent to cause harm to the two intermediate knights in front of him with his impose pressure. All he wanted to do was to test Harry castle’s true strength.
nDue to head commander Hopkins’s impose, Abel’s power as an intermediate knight was exposed. No one had expected something like this to happen. Just as head commander Hopkins was considering a resolution for this behavior, a low “woo-woo” sound was coming from somewhere.
nBlack Wind, who was already half a man’s height, had just been playing with Loraine. Though it was impossible for a normal person to perceive what was going on from the other side of the castle, a mount wolf, however, could detect any situation easily. When Black Wind realized that something was happening to his master, it dashed desperately to protect its master.
n
n
n“Black Wind, come here! “Cried Abel, fearing that the three commanders might hurt Black Wind.
n“Dear me, is this a mount wolf or a mount wolf with an owner?” Exclaimed Viscount Dickens.
nDue to the appearance of the Black Wind, the tension began to ease. Head commander Hopkins had also disregarded his dignity and said to Abel, “Master Abel, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean any harm!”
nThe head commander’s apology was too much for Abel to refuse, Abel then suppressed his anger and said, “Dear head commander Hopkins. It’s alright. You have not harmed anyone.”
n
n
n“Don’t take these little things into your heart. That’s how head commander Hopkins does things. He’s even more impulsive than me. Haha.” Said head commander Lowell, laughing.
nAs the Lord of Marshall stared directly at Abel, his heart seemed to be in a perilous situation. How many days ago since this boy had become an intermediate knight? Abel did not reply. He was too embarrassed.
n“Such a good mount wolf, they are considered as the best mounts in the entire Holy Continent, Master Abel, you are a lucky man!” Lord Lowell sighed, looking at the Black Wind, which had quieted down.
n“To gain any reward, you must pay the price. In order for me to obtain this Black Wind, I fought a wolf rider that was far beyond my strength!” Abel remembered that battle clearly in his head; it was the most dangerous fight he had ever had since he came to this world.
nThe atmosphere in the guest lounge seemed to grow more and more harmonious. Any professionals would’ve had great respect for a blacksmith of Abel’s level because you would never know, one day, you might also need the help of a blacksmith Master. Just like today, these two commanders were actually visiting Abel with their own purposes in mind.
n“I’m not like either of them, just blurb out whatever that is in mind,” Said head commander Lowell bluntly “Hopkin and I have come at the request of the Duchy to assist Viscount Dickens in defending Harvest City as well as searching for the wolf riders who had attacked the prince. We heard that Harry castle had also been attacked, so we decided to come over to have a look.”
n
n
n“If you want, we can give you the dead body of the Wolf rider!” Said Abel directly. At first, he wanted to hide the strength of Harry’s castle, but since the head commanders had found out all about it, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
n“The investigation is only a small matter. Actually Hopkin and I wanted to purchase a magic sword from you!” Commander Lowell immediately lowered his voice in embarrassment whilst head commander Hopkins saluted Abel, still trying to apologize for the earlier event.
n“No problem, the forging process of a magic sword is very troublesome, but since the two head commanders are in need, I am able to provide it for you both!” Abel was very open to people coming to his door to purchase magic weapons, since the best magic weapons were only for his own family to use anyways. His second-tier magic weapons were able to sell at a high price.
n“Thank you so much! Head commander Lowell then took out his magic gold card from his pocket and transferred Abel 50,000 gold pieces with a simple stroke on his hand. Whilst head commander Hopkins was also very excited to take out his magic gold card. He also transferred Abel 50,000 gold.
nLooking at the balance of 111,250 gold coins on his magic gold card, it was the first 6 figure savings Abel had, he then put away his magic gold card with satisfaction, then turned towards the operations room and picked out 2 120 skills magic sword and quickly returned to the guest lounge.
nThe lone figure of head commander Lowell and head commander kelvin flashed, and the two magic swords in Abel’s hands had disappeared. Abel then looked at the two knights silently and thought to himself, “You don’t need to be in that much of a hurry, do you?”.
nAs a master blacksmith, Abel never had to worry about his own weapons. He had too many weapons, and sometimes he doesn’t even know which one to choose. Therefore, how could he understand the feelings of other knights wanting a good piece of magic weapon. Presently in the human world, only Abel was able to forge a magic sword. Though the two head commanders possessed a noble title, they still had to obtain a magic weapon from the dwarf blacksmith Master. Since they were coming to Harvest city, how could they pass out on an opportunity to get a magic weapon from Abel.
n“If you ever come over to Sidor City, find me, and I’ll welcome you with the best wine we have. Also, if you need me, just get someone to notify me!” Said bead commander Lowell with a laugh while he stroked his magic sword.
n
n
n“Master Abel, if you have any trouble in Marva, just use my name, and you should receive all the help you need. If you need to find me, come over to Marva’s castle!” Head commander Hopkins said tightly following Lowell.
n“Both commanders are too kind!” Abel was also very happy after he got the favor from the two. Both Sidor and Marva were the closest cities to Harvest City. With the favor of the two head commanders, if in the future Abel had a strong enemy, it would be easy to get a helping hand.
n“If there’s anything happening to Master Abel, you guys don’t need to help. I’m the closest to Harry’s castle so I should be in charge of assisting them.” Said Viscount Dickens, who was trying to fix the tension between them as he quickly took up the subject.
nAfter sending off the three commanders, both Abel and Lord Marshall breathed with a sigh of relief. Even though Abel had become an intermediate knight and had a powerful pale gold combat qi, the pressure of facing these three commanders was still very high, not to mention even The Lord Of Marshall felt it too.
nThis trade had resulted in an allied relationship between the two commanders, with Viscount Dicken’s relations have also been eased. Maybe it was because of Abel’s ranking up speed, from novice knight to an intermediate knight required a long time to train. Every bit of combat qi was made through the dedication and hardship of a knight. Although it could be increased by potions, they often have side effects, which could make ranking up harder in the future.
nNo one could have guessed that the pale gold combat qi of Abel could absorb the combat qi of another knight. Through his ranking up from a beginner knight to an intermediate knight, Abel’s pale gold combat qi had to sucked up all the combat qi of an elite knight. Now, Abel had realized, if he wanted to rank up again with only master’s potion, the quality could be a lot higher than he had imagined.
nAbel had a lot of potions on him, but the Horadric cube was taken up by three exploding swords and a super exploding sword. So the first thing he had to do was destroy the four exploding swords.
nIn the afternoon, Abel did not go back to the operation room to continue forging. Instead, he sat on the White Cloud and flew to Ansa valley, where the last big sword was destroyed. The aftermath of the explosion last time was still there, it made a 10 meters hole in the valley. That’s the destructive power these exploding big swords could
nAbel then took the armor out of the portal bag, one by one, fully dressed, holding the shield in his hand, leaving only his right arm without armor, exposing the Horadric cube marking.
nAbel allowed White Cloud to fly above him as he stood alone near the edge of the valley. He first threw out the 3 exploding big swords. Just as expected, these upgraded exploding big swords were a lot more powerful than the previous version. However, when he threw them down the valley, the explosion only shook off some rocks on the edge of the valley.
