“Abel, get ready. You’ll come with me to the Harry family,” the Lord of Marshall said to Abel during breakfast.

“Uncle Marshall, what does grandpa Brooks like? I didn’t prepare any gifts,” said Abel, feeling a bit embarrassed. Abel had already decided on the gift for the Harry family. He saw Earl Brooks yesterday, and today he would officially meet him, so of course, Abel would prepare a gift.

“He likes anything expensive. Of course, you can also give him a bottle of wine. He loves wine,” said the Lord of Marshall, curled his lips.

Abel suddenly had an idea, he turned towards Loraine and said “Loraine, you can stay here by yourself, I have a feeling that something will happen in Bakong City the next two days, so no matter what, you have to stay here. Don’t leave this house.”

“Ok!” Loraine nodded her head with honesty. Although she doesn’t know what was happening, she also sensed the depression in this city.

After breakfast, Abel called steward Ken to lead him to the wine cellar. He picked 3 of the best wines and went back to his room.

This was the first time Abel had combine an ordinary everyday object, so he did not feel too confident. Wine was a type of liquid, so in theory, he could also combine it. His finger lightly tapped the Horadric cube shadow on his right arm. Just like that, the Horadric cube had appeared in front of him in thin air. He put the three bottles of wine to the Horadric Cube. After they showed up in each of the slots, Abel lightly pressed the combined button.

The three bottles of wine disappeared in a flash, and the top left corner of the Horadric cube appeared a crystal glass. Abel held the crystal glass in his hand. Inside was filled with blood like wine, and somehow it seemed like it was glowing in red beams of light. Abel gently opened the lid and sniffed the aroma of the wine. Even as a person who was not too fond of wine, he couldn’t help but salivate.

Abel closed the bottle. Initially, he was thinking of using a brand new wine bottle to package this wine, but now he has changed his mind. The crystal glass seemed to be the perfect match for such a beautiful wine.

The Harry family was located in the east of Bakong City. It was a huge garden-style courtyard, surrounded by white walls and a red roof.

When their bull carriage had reached the front gate of the Harry family, he could see a white lion and unicorn with a red background coat of arms etched on to the front gate. He couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards the Lord of Marshall. It was until now that he realized where Harry castle in Harvest City had gotten its coat of arms from.

“Abel, welcome. Thank you for your visit!” Earl Brooks and a few other old men stood in front of the gate to welcome Abel. He suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed by the love from a superior.

“Grandpa Brooks, why did you come outside yourself!” Abel immensely went up and bowed.

“This is your second grandpa, 3rd grandpa, and 5th grandpa” Earl Brooks introduced the old man beside him to Abel.

Abel realized that the elders of the Harry family seemed to disregard the Lord of Marshall’s existence completely. They only welcomed Abel with all their enthusiasm.

“Grandpa Brooks, uncle Marshall and I decided to bring you this gift!” Said Abel. He turned to his underling and took two long boxes and a small box from his hand and handed it to Earl Brooks.

Earl Brooks received the gift. He then waved his steward to open the gift one by one for him. The two magic big swords made the smiles on these old men’s faces even wider. Who would say no to these weapons? They could dramatically increase their family power.

“This is..?”Earl Brooks picked up the crystal glass, gently opened it, and gave it a little sniff. It was like his whole body had stiffened up. Earl Brooks immediately closed the bottle without a single expression on his face. He then silently slid the bottle in his pocket and whispered to Abel, “Abel, how did you know I like wine. I’ll take care of this gift myself.”

At that time, the other old men realized something was not right. They immediately went up to Earl Brooks and stopped him. Their expressions looked like they would give Earl Brook a good beating if he didn’t take out the red wine again.

Abel didn’t think the members of Harry’s family to be this harmonious. They all seemed good intent, and there were not any plotted fights or schemes against each other. Abel also finally realized that the Lord of Marshall’s status in the family was like.

They entered the living room, and it was until now Earl Brooks had spoken to the Lord of Marshall, he said: “Didn’t I told you to leave early?”

“It was not easy to get to Bakong City. I wanted to visit you and your mother!” Said the Lord of Marshall softly.

“Great timing, you can’t even leave if you want to leave now.” Said Lord Brooks with a sigh.

“Why?” Said the Lord of Marshall and Abel at the same time.

Abel and the Lord of Marshall did not have any source of news in Bakong City, so they have no idea what was going on.

“The King was in critical condition!” Said Earl Brook in a deep depressing tone. “After the Lord awarding ceremony yesterday, the majesty suddenly fainted. At night, there was news about he was in critical condition. Now, all the gates are locked in Bakong City. Other than the noble passage, no one else could enter or leave.”

Abel and the Lord of Marshall exchanged gaze. They had just seen the king yesterday. Who could have guessed he would already be in critical condition after a day.”

“The city is in chaos. It’s good that you brought these magic weapons. Now the two head commanders within the family can fully display their power!” Said Earl Brooks.

Abel did not think the situation would be this bad. Things had already escalated to the point where head commanders would need to protect their families.

“We brought some knight servants along with us. They are all very experienced warriors. It seemed like one with the power of a head commander wants to give us trouble.” The Lord of Marshall was very satisfied with his defense power, and Abel had the strength to slaughter an elite knight. They should be fine.

“Great confidence. If things had really taken a bad turn, you could always come back to the family and hide.” Said Lord Brooks with a caring tone.

“Where are my brothers?” Said the Lord of Marshall, somewhat in an odd tone.

“How could I allow them to stay in the castle under this situation? A few days ago, I had already sent them to the estate.” Earl Brooks exclaimed, “As soon as I sent them away from danger, you decided to come to the danger. Didn’t you see the letters I wrote to you?”

At that moment, Abel realized Earl Brooks actually cared a lot. He just didn’t show it.

“… I didn’t think it would be this serious.” Said the Lord of Marshall, by this point, his face had become red from his father’s lecture. He looked like a 40-year-old kid staring at his feet.

When the few old men found a place to enjoy the red wine, Abel followed the Lord of Marshall into the backyard to see his mother.

Abel had never seen the Lord of Marshall looking like a kid, crying at his mother’s lap. His mother was a benevolent old lady. She lightly patted his back, gently whispered some words of encouragement to him.

Abel slowly stepped back, and he didn’t want to interrupt the Lord of Marshall’s intimate time with his mother, who he hadn’t seen in a long time. At that moment, Abel also began to miss his family. The ambition to become a wizard and open the Tome of Town Portal in the Scroll of Town Portal had been risen again.

There were wizards in Bakong City. Although he didn’t know where they were, Abel had already gotten the answer he wanted from the words of the Lord of Marshall. He couldn’t wait anymore, especially after seeing that the Lord of Marshall could finally see his mother, Abel’s homesickness had been ignited.

He returned to the center of the courtyard. From time to time, he would see knights and warriors being moved. It seemed like a storm was going to strike upon the city.

“Kill!!” A thunderous shout came through from Triumph boulevard. Abel was shocked. Without informing the Lord of Marshall, he rushed towards the direction of Triumph boulevard.

Not long after he left the courtyard, he could already see the 20 knight servants holding their shields, protecting Loraine and the two stewards. Some Knight servants had already been lightly injured. The ground who was attacking them was lead by two knights, with around 100 Calvary in golden armor.

Black Wind seemed to be injured as well, blood gushing out from his back leg, and fresh blood dripping out from the corner of his mouth.

Up to this point, Abel gave out a loud grunt. Gold combat qi unleashed from his body, as the ice magic sword which was originally on his back suddenly appeared in his right hand. He held the shield in front of the war horse in his left arm and began to charge. Since he was just visiting the Harry family, he did not wear any armor. He only brought the shield and the big sword just in case. Now, they had come in handy.

During his journey, he had drunk 200 bottles of master’s essence condensing potion. His combat qi was almost entirely gold color, and his strength had almost doubled.

“A knight! Defense!” Shouted the Calvary in golden armor after they heard a voice shouted from their back, and the sound of horse hoof rushing towards them.

“The royal guards are doing their business. Don’t interfere if you don’t want any trouble!” The Calvary in golden armor shouted again.
