Chapter 1134: 1134

The meeting in the palace did not last too long, and Abel arrived at the balcony looking over the streets of Denan City. It was filled with people gazing back at him.

“Long live the great emperor!” They began to cheer.

Abel stayed for a while. After the cheer subsided, the people all looked at him with passion and excitement, waiting for him to make a speech.

“My citizens, as your emperor, I traveled to the Central Continent not because I didn’t want to live in this Kingdom, but because I needed to seek higher power to protect this kingdom!

It was nice to see all your happy and healthy faces!

Although I don’t have time to get involved in politics, I will still make sure all of you have enough food, warmth, and powerful troops as protection.

From now on, you can proudly declare you are a citizen from the Kingdom of St Ellis!”

Abel’s voice covered the city. A few years ago, the city was in chaos because of food shortage, and Abel’s troops had changed all of that. By that point, their kingdom had already become the most powerful, and it was not going to stop for the foreseeable future.

Their emperor was a legend of the continent, and his story was known across all families. There was no god in the Holy Continent, only Abel.

The citizens began to tear up. They were the only kingdom with skyships in the sky—the only one with the power to keep the orcs locked up.

Abel did not stay for long. All he needed was to show his presence, and his goal was archived.

The city was livelier than ever. The streets were filled with countless people cheering and dancing.

Abel, on the other hand, arrived at his lounge and met up with the most powerful figures in the kingdom.

The first ones to arrive were his father Minister Bennett and his big brother Zack. After years of being in power, the confidence Minister Bennett had was like a totally different person compared to the knight he was.

“Father, there’s no need to bow. We are in private!” Abel saw his father about to bow so he quickly stepped up to help him up and then nodded to his brother.

“Abel, how powerful are you now?” Minister Bennett asked. After all, Abel’s power was the power of the Kingdom.

“Father, no one in the Holy Continent can stop me!” Abel smiled.

He did not go into detail, they were basically beings of totally different levels.

“Then I’m happy!’ Minister Bennett smiled.

“Father, I can turn you, mother, and zack into wizards!” Abel didn’t want to talk about the kingdom and got to the point. Minister Bennett’s face sank. He knew about wizards, they were supposed to be detached from the common world. It was a law.

Abel was an exception because he was initially a grandmaster Blacksmith who only became a wizard because of trading with the dwarves and finally became an emperor.

Abel’s path was almost impossible to replicate. Therefore if Minister Bennett was to become a wizard, he would have to let go of his Minister role. Although he would be prestigious still, the all-mighty feeling he gets would begin to fade.

As Abel’s father, his role was basically like an emperor when Abel was not around.

It was just that the higher military power was controlled by a spirit.

“Abel, I don’t want to be a wizard. My family is living very well. I don’t want any change!” Minister Bennett lowered his voice.

Abel was a little speechless. He was not expecting his father to pick power over longevity.

After all, wizard training was not easy and nobles would often get lost in power instead.

Abel did not ask his big brother Zack since Zack would only follow in his father’s footsteps.

“Father, if there is anyone in the family who wants to become a wizard, just tell me!” Abel said helplessly.

Abel was a part of the Harry family spiritually and lawfully, not the Bennett family. This was the case ever since Minister Bennett gave Abel to The Duke of Marshall.

Therefore, Abel had no right to pressure Minister Bennett. After all, people had different lifestyle preferences.

Abel sighed. If his father liked that, he would give him more.

“Father, Zack, let me take you somewhere!” Abel placed his hand on their shoulders and said.

He flashed, and they reappeared in the dungeon of the palace.

The place was a huge mana gem mine, so Abel wrapped his brother and father with his power of the will to protect them.

He then took out the Lance spirit from his holy portal bag and connected it to the teleportation circle.

Minister Bennett didn’t know what Abel was doing but he knew that thing was a treasure looking at its mysterious glow.

Abel gave the Lance spirit the highest authority in the kingdom. It was now in charge of everything outside of Harry castle.

As you know, there were many spirits in the kingdom, just the palace alone had a few. Although most were weak, they formed a network in the Kingdom.

Back in the days, Abel demanded teleportation circles in all cities to make sure they had a tight connection and troops could reach them when danger arose.

This is where the Lance spirit came in handy.

“Father, this is the Lance spirit, a very powerful spirit. It can analyse all kinds of data and make the best decision. It will know as soon as there is a problem!” Abel explained.

“So this thing can take care of the entire kingdom?” Minister Bennett was shocked.

“Father, I’ll add another rule to this spirit. Every member of the Bennett family can use the power of the Lance spirit!” Abel smiled.

Since the Bennett family didn’t want to become wizards, this was a gift Abel gave them to secure their power for eternity.

Of course. The Lance spirit still had its limit.

“What can I do with the Lance spirit?” Minister Bennett was confused.

“I will organise some wizards to install surveillance circles in all cities. With the Lance spirit, you will be able to look through that information. It also has the power to control sky ships, so you can use them to protect the family when needed!” Abel explained.

Minister Bennett knew the power of knowledge. It could help the authorities make the best decisions and spot enemies before they strike.

As long as the future heads of the Bennett family was not stupid, they would be masters of politic.

Most importantly, the skyships were a special force in the Kingdom. They were operated by dead warriors of the family and their loyalty was bound by a contract that lasted for eternity.

Therefore, it was impossible for another to operate a skyship, and another one who tried to steal them would be killed by its spirit.

Even without an operator, skyships could still attack using lightning spirals.

“Abel, thank you for everything you’ve done for the Bennett family!” Minister Bennett was touched.

He didn’t know if Abel had made the right choice, but he was sure that Abel cared about them.

After Abel said goodbye to his father and brother, Head commander Bodley stepped in and dropped to one knee.

“Bodley, just take a seat!” Abel waved his hand.

It had been years since they saw each other, but head commander Bodley looked the same. He had already reached the pinnacle of knights so he just dedicated all his time to managing the troops.

“Bodley, I wanted to see you today because I have something to ask!’ Abel smiled.

“Majesty, please do!” Head commander Bodley bowed.

“Bodley, I want you to pick out the 100 most loyal and powerful knights!” Abel lowered his voice.

“No problem. I can give you 1000 if you will!” Head commander Bodley said loudly.

“No need to rush. Just 100 knights you trained personally is enough. I will sign a magic contract with them the next time I return to the Holy Continent. They will be a part of my quest to find a future path of knights!” Abel smiled and shook his head.

Since Abel existed as a legend on the Continent he had many loyal supporters in the military.

Even if he demanded a group of knights who would die for him countless would volunteer.

“The future of knights?” Head commander Bodley’s eyes began to sparkle. He thought he had already reached the pinnacle, but Abel’s words gave him a ray of hope.

“I still need to do some experiments. I will give you some potions to make sure the body of knights you pick are as strong as orcs!” Abel added.

“Your Majesty, how about a head commander like me as a test subject?” Head commander Bodley said bluntly with excitement.

“I will help you level up after my experiment is successful. But for now, I don’t want my head commander to die because of a mistake!” Abel rejected.

Head commander Bodley left with a smile on his face. He was planning to start picking the most powerful knights as soon as he got back. As for loyalty, it shouldn’t be a problem. Who wasn’t crazy about Abel after all.

He met a few more lords afterward about the Lance spirit.

Although the investigation department didn’t know how the Lance spirit could help them. It was just a matter of time until all spies of the Kingdom were discovered by it.

Most importantly, if the Lance spirit had all the data, it would be able to predict important trends such as the food needed for each city, if businesses are avoiding taxes and even the movements of the other 2 kingdoms. This would make the law enforcement department’s job a lot easier.

With the Lance spirit, the Kingdom would gain an invisible eye. Anyone who dared to offend the law would be punished.

When a powerful enemy was spotted, the skyships would be used. If the enemies were even more powerful than the skyships. The Lance spirit would contact Bartoli and Bartoli would contact Abel.

This was why Abel no longer had to worry about the safety of his kingdom.
