Abe the Wizard

Chapter 264: Elf Councillors

Abel felt very sensitive. He quickly discovered that the butler Brewer was in a bad state. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. He quickly scanned his mind. He immediately figured out why. In the dark world, he had fought for a few days and had never killed so many hell creatures at once. This time he had killed nearly 10,000 of them.

Every time a life is killed, a peculiar momentum is created, some call it a kill, others call it a kill, and when soldiers who have killed people in the army appear among ordinary people, they can easily deter ordinary people, which is a manifestation of killing.

Fortunately, Abel did not come back directly after killing tens of thousands of hell creatures, but stayed in Camp Rogue for a few days, otherwise he could break Brewer's mind when he appeared in front of the ordinary elf, Brewer, the butler who had just ended the fighting.

There are many ways to eliminate this killing, such as resting peacefully for a while, or going out to see the scenery, or looking for a different sex, but Abel is different. He took the pillow out of the 'Akala's tent’ in his personal locker and put it in his arms with his mental strength. Immediately a cool air came from him. His body and mind seemed to have been washed with clean water, and his anger in his heart, or called killing, could not dissipate.

Brewer, who came to the restaurant and opened Abraham's dining chair, found that the master seemed to return to his intimate temperament at first sight. The kind of repression he had just discovered was completely gone. Although questionable in his heart, he had always served the master with the utmost seriousness and showed no difference.

At the end of the breakfast, Abel put the Peaceful Jade Heart pillow into the 'Akala's Tent’ in his personal locker. He was somewhat proud of the treasure he had acquired. Think about the years it took for the soldiers to eliminate the killing in order to be able to socialize normally with ordinary people, but he completely dissipated the killing in a moment.

Abel in a silver and white dress sits on a carriage. Silver and white are the favorite colors of the elves, but not ordinary elves can wear them. Only the noblemen among the elves can wear silver and white dress. Abel's silver and white dress came from the Grand Duke's house especially for today's award ceremony. Along with this silver and white dress came a pure and white dress. Of course, this dress and silver and white dress are typically for nobility. At this time, the pure and white dress is in the box next to Abel.

The carriage slowed down and Brewer sat in front of the car and said softly: "My lord, the Grand Duke is here! ”

“Lord Bennett, I am Derek, the housekeeper of the Grand Duke's house, and I welcome you to the Grand Duke's house!” Derek, the old butler of the Grand Duke's house, saw the carriage rushing forward, carefully opening the carriage door, and then bowed back to salute him.

As the housekeeper of the Grand Duke's house, of course he knows who the young elves in front of him are, whether it's the Lambert Road villa or the wagon in front of him, or the dress worn by the young elves, which the Grand Duke Edwina himself decided to arrange. There is basically no secret about the Grand Duke's house, and this young elf is likely to be the husband of the Duchess of Lorraine.

Both the future husband of the Duchess of Lorraine and the Grand Duke of Edwina put a lot of emphasis on the young elf in front of him, not to mention the young elf who is the main character today.

“Derek, thank you for the welcome!” Abel bowed back and said that while Derek was a housekeeper in front of him, his status as a housekeeper in the Grand Duke's house was extremely high, and most importantly, of course, this was the old housekeeper Lorraine had said about growing up looking after Lorraine as a child.

“Lord Bennett, you are so kind, please come with me!” Derek did a courtesy and led Abel into the Grand Duke's house.

Abel's housekeeper, Brewer, followed by a suitcase with a tux, today's task is to provide Abel with guidance on how to dress and make up, because today is not just a ceremony, but after the award, there will be a banquet to welcome new noble members into the aristocratic circle of the city of Anjoust, a tradition of elves, because in their long lives they will always think of a variety of ways of entertaining life, of which the banquet is the most important.

In the familiar lobby, the main and auxiliary seats were empty. The Duke of Edwina and the Duke of Albert had not yet arrived. Only twelve elves dressed in Chinese clothes stood there talking to each other. Seeing Abel led in by housekeeper Derek, four elf councillors nodded their smiles at Abel, while other elf councillors showed some hesitation and some ignored Abel directly, especially two elf councillors with a slight malice towards Abel.

“Lord Bennett, you wait here, I'll leave first!” Derek led Abel to the side of the lobby to bow down and then left the lobby.

Pokémon councillors are the actual operators of the city of Anjoust, who control commerce, security, taxation, army, land, etc. These Pokémon councillors are elected from among the Pokémon aristocrats who own the land and are the agents responsible for managing the city, but they themselves must have a noble identity to be able to do so.

This is a peculiar system of power for the Pokémon, because the great nobles who own the land are unlikely to be personally involved in the operation of power, and they need an agent to help them take control of power, but at the same time the agent himself, because of this status, has elevated the old noble identity much further, forming a class of Pokémon parliamentarians second only to the great nobility, which is higher than the ordinary nobility, lower than the great nobility, and they have the power to be subject to the Grand Duke and to the great nobility that they represent.

This peculiar balance ensures that the power of the Pokémon does not get out of control because of the high status of those who use it, and that the real nobles behind it can enjoy life in peace without worrying about government.

None of the elves in the lobby, either the elf councillors who smiled well at Abel or the elf councillors who didn't show up to talk to him, made Abel feel out of line with them.

At this point Derek's voice came from outside the hall: “The Honourable Grand Duke of Edwina and the Honourable Duke of Albert have arrived! ”

The sound of the conversation in the lobby ceased immediately, with six elf parliamentarians standing on each side of the lobby.

The Grand Duke of Edwina and the Duke of Albert appeared on the doorstep, just as they had just appeared, and all the Elf MPs in the lobby had found a difference, because today the Grand Duke of Edwina was too young, seemingly returning to his youthful state, slightly red in his skin, luminous as a jade, long hair with silk satin on his head, separated by the middle, naturally dripping from both sides of his cheeks, drooped over his shoulders and worn on his head with a silver patterned headband.

Elderly members of the Pokémon seem to have returned to their trance centuries ago, when the Grand Duke of Edwina became the owner of the city of Anjoust, and they became members of parliament.

“Bennett, you're here early!” The Duke of Albert ignored the elves, who were special, and did not care about these high-powered officials in the eyes of other elves, but smiled up and greeted Abel.

“Dear Duke of Albert,” Abel bowed down, but there was a strange feeling in his eyes. In front of his future father-in-law, the marks on his face had disappeared, replacing them with a handsome young face.

If, in terms of human age, he had the appearance of almost fifty years old, now he is only thirty years old, and Grand Duke Edwina was 40 years old, now he is almost thirty years old, needless to say, these two must have used Abel's ‘skin wash' and ‘shampoo'.

“You're good, I'm not wrong about you!” The Duke of Albert patted Abel twice on his shoulder, laughing and walking to the auxiliary seat in the middle of the hall to sit down.

Grand Duke Edwina also looked at Abel before he sat in the throne and smiled at him and nodded.

The attitude of the two owners of Anjost City towards Abel changed the face of all the Pokémon councillors. The four Pokémon councillors who had just shown themselves to Abel had laughed like a spring breeze, while all the other Pokémon councillors had changed their faces and looked at Abel with kindness.
