Abe the Wizard

448 Mansion

“Edwon, lead the way. I want to take a tour of the mansion” Abel did not act polite. He directly commanded him.

This was the best opportunity for Steward Edwon to prove himself. He knew fully well that if he did a good job, Abel would let him stay.

This mansion was extremely luxurious. The first thing Abel saw when he walked in was the mirror-like stone floor. It was most likely hand polished, and it must have taken up a lot of effort to make it this shiny.

“Master Abel. This was a vacation mansion for the Kingdom of St Pierrt, so everything was designed and decorated with a royal standard!” Steward Edwon explained with a bow.

Abel didn’t make a sound as he began to admire the sculptures on the wall. The sculptures were skillfully made; it was definitely made by a master. Abel had learned how to carve, so he knew. There was a giant window connecting the ground. It was made with a piece of flat transparent crystal, unlike the colorful ones used in churches. This made the entire living room look extremely clean. Sunlight sifted through the crystal and reflected off the ground through a thin layer of window screen. This made the light a lot more soothing.

On the ceiling of the living room was a giant painting of glory depicting the Kingdom of St Pierrt’s ancestors in battle. Although it didn’t mean much to Abel, it was still a fine piece of art.

This mansion had a living room, a guest room, an office, a master bedroom, 8 guest rooms, and a kitchen. The place where the servants lived was located outside of the mansion.

Every little detail, including cutlery, was used by the Royals, which the Kingdom of St Pierrt had preserved before handing them over to Abel. They only took away royal markings and some personal portraits, but according to Steward Edwon, they had already put up some higher value paintings by famous painters as compensation.

The most surprising thing to Abel was that this mansion had its own individual water supply. Since the entire mansion was built with white stones, it could basically turn in to a castle if he blocked all the doors and ignited the medium size protection circle.

Afterward, Abel’s gaze was drawn to a hot spring created by the direct water supply under a heating circle next to the master bedroom. Even if in a past life, having a hot spring was quite nice.

This was the most luxurious mansion Abel had ever seen. Although the elves’ mansions were prettier, as a human, he still belonged to a mansion designed by humans.

After Abel took a tour, he looked back at Edwon following closely behind and said, “Steward Edwon, I am very happy with this place!”

Abel had intentionally addressed Edwon with the word Steward in front of his name. This meant that Abel had accepted him as his steward. Steward Edwon was very happy about this since a steward who had been sent out could not be returned to the royals.

Although Steward Edwon didn’t know Abel’s identity, he knew he was definitely an extraordinary person to receive such a big gift from the Kingdom of St Pierrt.

“Master, I will remain loyal to you!” said Steward Edwon kneeling down to his knees on the ground.

“I, Abel Harry, will accept your loyalty!” Said Abel with a smile and reached his hand out to help Steward Edwon get back up. Afterward, Abel introduced him to Bartoli and said, “This is Bartoli; she is my steward as well.”

Steward Edwon felt his heart tense. He had seen the intermediate wizard badge in front of Bartoli. Although he was a little confused by her identity, he would never have guessed that this intermediate was actually Master Abel’s main steward.

By this point, he could no longer complain a single bit about being sent by the royals. Even an intermediate wizard had become Master Abel’s steward, so it was a glory to serve him!

“Bartoli, the next few days will be quite busy for you. Hire and train some new staff to fill up the 27 new restaurants!” Abel said helplessly, but he had no choice. Expanding his restaurants was just such a good way for him to gain credit points and strengthen his family assets.

“Don’t worry, master. I will not disappoint you!” Said Bartoli with a bow.

“Nice, I will put up an intermediate mana gathering circle here and give you 2 fresh blue crystal cores before I enter the Dark World every night, so you can train faster!” Said Abel waving his hand.

Bartoli couldn’t return to the Dark World with Abel. The intermediate mana gathering circle in the Dark World was basically the pinnacle of a mana filled world. She could not enjoy it, so she had always meditated using the beginner mana gathering circle in the Holy Continent.

This way of meditation was so bad, every time it had almost brought zero to no realization. But since Abel now had enough credit points, buying another intermediate mana gathering circle was simple.

Abel was not short of gems. No matter what kind, he could have as much as he wanted. The only reason he couldn’t buy an intermediate mana gathering circle before was that they were military-grade resources. No matter how many gold coins you had, you could only buy it through credit points.

Afterward, Bartoli took a trip to the Wizard Union and spent 20000 credit points for the intermediate mana gathering circle and brought it back for Abel to set it up in the office. Since Abel didn’t have a use for this office, he turned it into a meditation room for Bartoli.

Originally an intermediate mana gathering circle could not be installed in these little mansions. Not only because of space but also because mana could disturb the neighbors when it leaked out since not all their neighbors were wizards.

This mansion was big enough, so every night, Bartoli would open the intermediate protection circle. As long as this circle was not broken, nothing could hurt Bartoli, and she could meditate with those 2 fresh blue crystal cores without worry.

In regards to the loyalty of steward Edwon, Abel didn’t really care. Abel wouldn’t tell him anything about his top-secrets, so his job was just to take good care of the mansion.

The workers responsible for rebuilding the demolished 27 restaurants had now been sent over from the Kingdom of St Pierrt, as well as a large number of luxurious materials.

Everyone who lived around the restaurants was experiencing a dramatic change in scenery each day. Those workers could rest, but the workflow continued relentlessly 24 hours a day. In a few short days, the wastelands had transformed into new buildings at an unbelievable speed.

The interior decoration followed suit. If there wasn’t a law limiting a restaurant like these to 2 stories, the Kingdom of St Pierrt would definitely build some even higher ones with these high spending techniques.

Everything had finished by the 8th day, and those 27 restaurants were ready to go. This had truly reflected the Kingdom of St Pierre’s powerful building power; it had exceeded the original estimation of Wizard Arche by 2 days.

Also, during these 8 days, a hiring advertisement had driven the entire Linate City crazy. No matter if it was the position of a chef, head chef, or waiter, the salary offered was almost 2 times more than other restaurants. Not only that, but they could also have a free meal at the restaurant each day.

To outsiders, the first condition of a double salary was already amazing. But for those in the know, they knew how much of a luxury it was to have a meal at their restaurant each day.

A bunch of beginner wizards had applied for the job. Since Bartoli didn’t want to stress too much, she just lined them up outside of the restaurant. The job wasn’t too hard anyway, so she had gotten all the staff she wanted in no time.

Afterward was the contract signing. Since normal people rarely had the chance to interact with wizards, they didn’t know how scary it was. They just thought it was like any other contract in the Holy Continent. But of course, as long as you didn’t violate the contract, just that one meal a day was an amazing opportunity.
