Conflict

Because of the hassle, Abel decided it was best to stay in retreat and let his steward take care of it.

Although 10 seems like a lot, there were powerful figures bringing disciples to the golden castle for meals from day tonight.

They limited the disciples those powerful figures could bring. Each of them could only bring one disciple, which meant only 5 powerful figures could reserve a spot.

This announcement also put the guests in an awkward spot. The golden castle had already made it clear that those foods were valuable, so they could no longer come without gifts. 

The value of a normal gift was normally 2 light gems, which further limited the spots to those who could afford it.

Abel would not reject light gems. The light gems he needed were 10 times more than normal wizards since a day in this world was 10 days in the Dark World.
