By noon, Abel had changed into formal attire and was standing in the hall with Lorraine, welcoming the arriving guests.
In the teleportation array chamber, Great Druid Joseph, Great Druid Bonnie, and Gaunt High-level Druid waited beside the Large Teleportation Array for the guests to appear, ready to guide them at the first opportunity.
This was only a small gathering, and the attendees all had excellent relationships with Abel.
A flash of white light burst from the Large Teleportation Array, and two Dwarves appeared atop it. They were none other than Hulton Rule Wizard of the Dwarf race and his disciple, Wizard Bernie.
"Rule Wizard Hulton, Wizard Bernie, welcome. I'll take you to the gathering!" Great Druid Joseph said with a smile as he stepped forward and bowed.
"No need. I know the place!" Rule Wizard Hulton said with a smile, waving his hand. Then he looked upward and said, "Array Spirit, teleport Bernie and me to the gathering."
"Authorization approved. Beginning teleportation!" Before Great Druid Joseph could react, the Array Spirit had already teleported Rule Wizard Hulton and Wizard Bernie away.
In the hall, Abel was chatting and laughing with Lorraine when Rule Wizard Hulton and Wizard Bernie suddenly appeared before him.
"Rule Wizard Hulton, we meet again. You're the first to arrive!" Abel said with a smile as he stepped forward to greet him.
"Master Bennett, I'm not the first to arrive. Her Highness the Saintess was here earlier, wasn't she?" Rule Wizard Hulton said with a smile, looking at Lorraine.
"Bernie, I've long heard that you came to the Central Continent, but I never had the chance to meet you. Welcome!" Lorraine's face flushed slightly at his words. She was delighted to see Wizard Bernie, a familiar face from the Holy Continent, and smiled as she spoke.
