Chapter 928: Unknown Danger
Big druid Lendo quickly realized he was embarrassing in front of the masters.
“Excuse me. I was just a little surprised by the news!” He bowed and continued, “Please don’t tell anyone about what happened today!”
All the masters nodded. They knew the entire kingdom would go into chaos if they found out what Abel had said.
“Master Bennett, please follow me to the queen. I can not make the decision on this!” Big Druid Lendo bowed again and said.
His attitude to Abel had completely changed. He had accepted that Abel was not an elf.
Not only did the goddess recognize him, but the tree of life also recognized him as well. Also, this master Bennett was a soul speaker. He had never heard of another species possessing a soul speaker ability. It was the specialty of elves.
“No problem, Druid Lendo!” Abel bowed back.
As they were leaving, the tree of life’s branches and leaves began to shake against the wind, as though as it was waving goodbye to Abel.
Abel was the only one who could sense sentiment coming from the tree of life. It had never interacted with a life form of the same rank, so it was sad to see Abel go.
Abel could only reignite his soul speaker ability and sent the last message to the tree of life.
However, this move piqued the interest of Big Druid Lendo. He knew Abel was igniting the soul speaker ability through the air. This was far superior to any normal soul speaker.
He arrived at the valley entrance once again and sensed the other 2 guarding big druids’ energy. Although they didn’t show themselves, they were expressing their gratitude to Abel.
They then returned to the palace through the teleportation circle. The 3 masters bowed at Abel and left under the guidance of Steward Hardy.
Abel, on the other, followed Big Druid Lendo into the side palace.
Queen Luisa had not arrived, so an elf servant brought on a glass of juice for Abel.
“Master Bennett, please wait. I’ll invite her majesty here!” Big Druid Lendo bowed.
“Please!” Abel bowed back and saw Druid Lendo vanish. He then took a seat and kept waiting with a glass of juice in his hand.
On the other side, Big Druid Lendo ignited his big druid badge and teleported to a luxury building through the city circle. In comparison to the tree of life’s importance, this little bit of energy was nothing.
“Mr. Lendo, please come in!” The voice of the queen emerged. This was the place she normally did her training.
“Your Majesty, I have something to report!’ Big Druid Lendo stepped in and bowed at Queen Luisa, who was resting on a chair in the hall.
“Mr. Lendo, take a seat!” The queen waved her hand.
“Majesty, I’m here because of the tree of life!” Big Druid Lendo did not take a seat. Instead, he lowered his voice.
“Did you find out the reason?” The queen quickly stood up and asked.
She had not been sleeping well during the past because of the tree of life as well. She had been talking to many druids’ expertise in plants, but she never got an answer.
“Master Bennett found the reason!” He said the tree of life sensed something threatening its life!” Big Druid Lendo lowered his voice again.
“What threat, where does it come from?” Queen Luisa asked. Her pretty face was filled with shock.
“Master Bennett is waiting for you in the side place. He has a soul speaker ability, and he can communicate with the tree of life, so we should value him even more!” Big Druid Lendo added.
Queen Luisa knew what he was talking about. Abel was a generous elf. She only asked Abel once, and he had given her the lite healing potions. As for the Harmon family, he never asked for their comprehension after royals gave him a mansion.
The royals had gotten a lot of benefits from the Harmon Family, but royals had been very busy throughout the years, and Abel had never asked. Hence, they just procrastinated on giving Abel what he deserved.
But no matter what, if Abel was angered, the elves would be in big trouble with Abel’s power.
As you know, his Master Bennett identity was not brought up by the New Asia Continent or the elves in the Central Continent, so he did not feel too much attachment to them.
“Mr. Lendo, I will immediately increase my value for Master Bennett!” Queen Luisa bowed.
She was only the queen of the kingdom, but that was as far as her authority went. Although she was extremely prestigious, there was still some distance between her and the elves’ true leaders who lived in the temples.
All businesses in the kingdom, including granting lands and titles, were taken care of by Queen Luisa. If a problem had occurred, she had to face the temple.
This was why Big Druid Lendo personally saw the queen. After all the mysterious power Abel has shown, the elves would be at a big loss without someone like Abel. f reeweb novel.com
“Master Bennett, I hope you didn’t wait for long!” Queen Luisa stepped into the side palace and bowed with a smile.
“Your Majesty!” Abel stood up and bowed back.
“Master Bennett. Thank you for everything you have done for the kingdom. Saving the tree of life was very important to all elves. Also, the Harmon Family’s comprehension was calculated, so I now officially grant you, Master Bennett, the status of a Marquess!” Queen Luisa smiled.
“Thank you, Majesty!” Abel was caught off guard for a moment, so he quickly bowed.
“Since you discovered a big threat coming to the Kingdom, there is no need for a granting ceremony. I will send the marquess badge and documents to your mansion!” Queen Luisa continued to smile.
She knew Abel would not pledge loyalty to her with his master status, so there was no need for a ceremony.
To Abel, this marquee’s status was just another bit of glory. It wouldn’t change much, and people would still be calling him Master Bennett.
Even as prestigious as being a rank 18 druid, the status of master potion maker was still far superior. Therefore, everyone would address him by that.
“Master Bennett, as for the Harmon family’s comprehension, you can tell your steward to accept from steward Hardy!” Queen Luisa did not tell Abel about the detail of the comprehension. Talking about wealth was a thing of embarrassment for someone of her status.
“Thank you, majesty!” Abel bowed again.
“Also, I have another favor to ask you. Please go to see the tree of life more often and communicate with it. I’ll give you full permission to access the tree of life valley!” Queen Luisa knew Abel didn’t care too much about wealth, but he still expressed his gratitude.
“It would be my honor!” Abel replied.
Abel really couldn’t care about wealth. He could combine an unlimited amount of top-level gems with his Horadric cube, so basically, no organization or kingdom could even come close to him.
Just think about it. He knew how fast a stone giant could clean out a mine, but he rarely did so. So you can just imagine how little he cared about wealth.
All he needed was a stable environment that allowed him to speed up his growth. Once he reached a point where he could protect himself, he wouldn’t be afraid of people having ill intentions every time he exposed his treasures or a contracted beast.
Queen Luisa did not ask her too much about where the danger was coming from. He was a potion maker, after all, not an expert on the battlefield.
Abel returned to the potion maker union after he left the palace. He did not stay for long, and afterward, he brought his 2 followers back to his mansion.
“Master, the royal palace’s steward Hardy had delivered some statute granting documents and badge. Also, he had transferred 4 shops within Bay Law City, 2 courtyards,s and a castle outside the city under your name!” Steward Myer bowed.
“I see. Consult the people running those assets and tell them to run it like normal!” Abel brushed it off casually.
This amount of wealth was quite a lot for normal nobles, but Abel couldn’t care less. His new place was almost complete, and he wouldn’t even care about this mansion in the city by that point.
His new place was a grand elf-style building located in a wide-open space north of the potion maker union. Since it was a building the potion maker union built for their master, they had invited the best architects.
However, Abel had requested some slight alterations, which he had to pay for himself.
Now all he needed was to wait. When the time came, he would bring this steward Myer along. He was sent by the royal palace, so he was more than capable. Abel didn’t have many secrets to keep from his steward anyway.
“Yes, Master!” Steward Myer bowed. It was the first time he saw anyone treated wealth so casually, but his professionalism allowed him to keep his face calm.
“Poly, Gunter, follow me!” Abel turned and said to his followers.
Abel sat in the lounge and looked at his followers. He began to think about how he should word his sentence. Although he had promised not to tell the public about the hidden threat, his followers were not the public.
“Poly, Gunter, here are some healing potions. Please take good care of them. Just keep in mind, do not expose this potion in front of anyone. They are your lifesavers!” Abel took out 10 strong healing potions and divided them for his followers.
“Master Bennett, is there something happening?” Druid Poly asked, seeing how serious Abel was acting.
Abel shook his head and lowered his voice. “I’m not clear on the details, but just stay close to the city from now on, especially Gunter. You have to be careful!”
Druid Gunter was officially signed to become Abel’s follower. Since he was the one helping out with his business, he had to travel a lot.
“Yes, Master Bennett!” Druid Gunter quickly nodded.” I don’t know where the threat is coming from, and I won’t tell you how I know either. Only the elite of the elves know about this, so make sure you don’t tell anyone!” Abel looked into his followers’ eyes and warned them.
The followers held the healing potions in their hands. However, they were not happy about the fact that they got something so powerful. Instead, they were worried.
Although they wouldn’t say anything, they would still nudge their family to prepare for the unknown danger.
Afte, Abel stepped into the training and set up the protection circle and barrier circle once again. He then let Doff out and allowed it to guide the courtyard outside his training area.
His soul was connected to Doff. Once there was danger, he would be able to sense it from Doff.
Although the separation of worlds could distort the information transfer, sending an alert would still be fine.
With Doff as protection, he would be more confident going into the Dark World. The last thing he wanted was coming out of the Dark World, realizing he was in danger.
He trusted the tree of life senses with all his faith. He had a tree of life in the Rogue Encampment. Although it was a different kind, its energy was the same.
The tree of life in the Rogue Encampment had saved him from danger countless times. Although it could not move, its power was almost on par with the gods. Therefore, he always thought of it as his best lifesaver in the Dark World.
He just couldn’t ignore the tree of life, but he also couldn’t figure out where the threat was coming from. The best thing to do now was to keep strengthening himself.
Battling in the Dark World was the best method to increase his power. He felt like he was closer and closer to the 3rd level of the Durance of hate. It was where the most powerful hell creature in the Kurast Dock was located, Mephisto.
He wanted to kill Mephisto and get his life stone as well as that song of life before the danger arrived.
