Chapter 1002: Being the Guest

For the Flowing Fire Castle heritage, Wizard Brem swore that he was going to give it away. He was giving away the original piece, but they also ensured that they would keep a replica to ensure that they could pass down knowledge to their successors.

Back to Abel. he just received a portal bag that was about ten cubic meters in volume. Inside were many books meant for all kinds of readers, ranging from apprentice wizards to law-defying wizards. Wizard Brem handed over an entire library’s collection. Of course, they were all knowledge related to fire element wizardry. It was much less than what the ice wind clan had to offer, but if it was up to Abel, he would take paperback copies over data stored inside spirits at any time. It was just so much more convenient to flip over the pages than to ask for content through keywords.

“This is good. You know, Joseph, I actually really like it.”

As weak as the content might relatively be, this was a complete guide that could do well to serve as a reference. Druid Joseph had nothing to be worried about. His first mission was a success. Abel enjoyed what he brought, and the fact that he was calling him by first name proved that they were now closer to one another.

Druid Joseph handed an accountant book over to Abel, “Have a look, please. Here’re all the financial records that I got from the Judson Family.”

Abel just smiled, “Just hand it to Meyer. I don’t think I’ll have the time to look over this.”

In truth, money just wasn’t that relevant to Abel now. He was at the frontline, where the most important resources on this earth were just sitting there for him to take. To put it metaphorically, it just made no sense to look for a tree if he was inside a forest.

Druid Joseph quickly replied, “Yes, Master Bennett.”

Abel looked towards the sky and smiled, “Right. Also, it’d be really good if you can stay to have a meal. I don’t think you’ve seen Poly and Gunter yet.”

Lunch proceeded at the dining room. There were two groups of chefs that were inside this residence. The regular group was meant to serve the servants, while the royal chefs were supposed to prepare for the place’s owners. After signing their magical bond, the royal chefs were well trained to create the new dishes Abel taught them directly. Right now, apart from the new cuisines they’ve made for Loraine every day, they were also responsible for serving Abel, Abel’s followers, Butler Meyer, and Luka, the chariot driver. Now that Druid Joseph was here as a newcomer, they had to prepare for one more.

Abel was sitting in the host seat while three of his followers sat beside him according to their rankings. Druid Joseph was sitting at the rightmost position. Poly was sitting in the leftmost position, while Gunter was sitting at the last seat.

Abel held his juice and smiled, “Poly. Gunter. This is Druid Joseph, my third follower. Since I’ll be busy on most days, make sure you all do what you can to help each other out.”

Actually, this wasn’t the first time the three have seen each other. The fact that a formal introduction took place just showed that Druid Joseph was truly recognized as a member of Abel’s circle.

Anyways, the dishes were served. Abel didn’t bother explaining about the rabbit essence. The taste of these dishes was far more superior to what’s available on the central continent. None of them needed any explaining to know about that. The smell almost caught Druid Joseph off guard. It made Poly and Gunter smile. He just reminded them of the first time they had the same food. It was even more true when Druid Joseph took his first bite. The look on his face was almost like all the food he had before was garbage.

Druid Joseph came from a family of merchants. That being said, just tasting the food made him realize how puny the wealth he spoke about was. Abel could make an infinite amount of profit if he was selling these dishes to the public. By the way, he didn’t know it himself, but these dishes were sold elsewhere on the Holy Continent. Abel had no interest in that, however. He was already making more wealth than he could care about doing restaurant businesses.

Once they were all done, the four of them came to the resting room to have some beverages. They all had coffee, while Abel still had a cup of juice in hand.

Abel was very satisfied with his new helpers, “There’s something I’d like you all to do today.”

Instead of using the Wizard Union’s trading system, Abel could just rely on his three new followers. That, or the exchange organization of the Big Druid. Druid Joseph would be especially for that. The Judson Family had all the channels to send the news he wanted out.

Druid Joseph spoke immediately, “Please tell us, Master Bennett.”

There was a certain pressure coming out of Druid Joseph as he was saying this. Poly and Gunter became much more focused because of it. They felt like they needed to show their worth.

Abel spoke, “I need a new set of armor for Doff, the Beamon giant beast. Ideally, it’d be very helpful if you can send an announcement to anyone out there that’s available. I want to trade a new armor set that’s better than the one Doff’s wearing now.”

This was something that Abel wanted to do for a while. He originally planned to build the set himself, but basic materials were not going to cut it. He could only get the better materials from the dwarves, but there was no way to connect the dwarves with his current identity as Master Bennett. It just wouldn’t make sense if he was just out to buy a large number of expensive materials, either. He also needed the blueprint for the armor, so with all that in mind, he might as well just get the ones that were already excavated out of the Ancient Ruins. The ancient ones used to domesticate powerful beasts to help them in battle, so he was certain that there was something that Doff could fit in.

So, the new mission for the three followers was to find Doff a new armor. He thought it was okay if they couldn’t do it, but they thought that they must do everything in their power to get it done. They felt like they had to do everything to be worthy of their title as Master Bennett’s followers.

Druid Joseph bowed and said, “I’ll spread the news out everywhere I go.”

Poly and Gunter didn’t say anything, but they were already thinking of ways to help out.

The research spirit suddenly spoke out, “Sainte Loraine is here, Master.”

Druid Poly stood up immediately after hearing that, “We’ll be off now, then, Master Bennett.”

Then they left quite promptly. Abel couldn’t help but shake his head and smile when he saw how confused Druid Joseph was. After seeing them off, he teleported himself to the underground room to meet Loraine.

Abel asked warmly, “You sneaked out, didn’t you?”

They had been doing this for a while. Lorraine used to talk to Abel through the large-sized teleportation circle after it was installed. Not just that. She would often sneak past the guards just so she could see him in person.

Not this time, though.

Lorraine shook her head, “Sneaking out? No! Look! Druid Lucia is with me this time.”

Druid Lucia came forward and bowed, “Greetings, Master Bennett.”

Abel returned a bow, “Thank you for all the service you’re providing, Druid Lucia.”

Druid Lucia smiled without saying anything. She was careful about being respectful to him because as he was becoming more prominent, especially after signing a contract of equality to the tree of life, he was pretty much on the same level as the great sainte herself. Only the upper members of the temple knew about this, but those capable of speaking to the tree of life were pretty much the equivalent of those who could have a direct conversation with the Moon Goddess. With that in mind, silence was pretty much the best move for her.

Lorraine was very understanding of what’s going on, “No need to follow me here, Druid Lucia. I’ll be safe from here.”

“Yes, Sainte.”

Of course, it was safe here. There were two big druids and Wizard Frankenstein, leaving no space for any sort of intruders. Abel was a dragon druid himself. That, and with Beamon giant beast here, this was pretty much an entire army squad. The only reason Loraine came with a bodyguard was pretty much just for the formality. With that, Abel invited her over to rest while he and Loraine headed over the battle fort, Iron Castle.

“Look at my White Snow, Abel!”

Lorraine was very excited to show Abel something as soon as they headed inside the hallroom. She was calling out White Snow, who, by this time, was already a top-level spiritual beast. Needless to say, this was not an easy thing to happen. Even the spirit potions wouldn’t be capable of making this kind of progress in such a short period of time. No, it didn’t seem like Loraine could do this with her own abilities, but Abel decided to praise her for it.

“That’s very nicely done!”

“Um, the temple did sort of use the divine powers to help with the promotions, but…” Lorraine replied with a slightly flustered look, “I helped, alright? I did help with this promotion!”

White Snow sort of agreed to that with a chirp.

Abel smiled and tapped White Snow with his hand, “It’s the right decision to have White Snow with you. It’d be a waste of its ability if I had it with me the whole time.”

“About that,” Lorraine went forward to lean over Abel and White Snow, “Yeah. We’re pretty good friends now.”

Abel became more relaxed from what he was hearing, “In that case, Lorraine, how about I get you a new friend? If you are in any sort of danger in the future, I’ll introduce you to a new friend.”

After saying that, he connected his power of the Will to the battle fort. He then granted permission to access Loraine.

Jean spoke quickly, “Master Loraine, Jean is here to listen to your orders.”
