“No need, Master Bennet. With your status, we will deliver a magic gold card to your palace by tomorrow morning,” said the female elf with a bow.
“I have some Lotions and Conditioners that I want the Union to help me sell. Who should I see?” Abel might buy a large number of ingredients from the Alchemy Union, so he needed to have a good relationship with them. The Alchemy Union was slightly dominated by female elves. Since both of Abel’s alchemy products were targeted towards females, it would not look good if he didn’t give some to the Union.
“Master Bennet, you want to sell your Lotion and Conditioner?” The female elf was so happy that her voice almost cracked. As an internal worker of the Union, she knew that the first batch of Master Bennet’s Lotion and Conditioner delivered would be distributed by the Union’s meant that she would have the chance to get some. That was why she was so happy.
“Yes. Lotions and Conditioner, 30 bottles each!” Abel confirmed with a slight nod.
“Master Bennett, I’ll take you to see manager alchemist Dorothy. Please follow me!” The female elf bowed and made a welcome gesture.
Abel followed the female elf to a big door with flower etchings. The female elf bowed again and signaled Abel to wait while she went inside. From the outside, Abel could hear some laughter of excitement.
Afterward, a female alchemist wearing an alchemist robe walked out with the female elf following behind. She bowed and said with a somewhat embarrassed tone one “Master Bennet, my name Dorothy. Sorry for the wait, please come in.”
The place looked like a typical office, other than a few girlish decorations and paintings. Alchemist Dorothy definitely seemed like a very playful elf.
“Master Bennett, every elf who used product can’t stop praising it, and those who couldn’t get the chance to try it like us yearn for it. Thank you so much for your trust in the Union. We will sell the products you provide at the highest price!” Although alchemist Dorothy was trying her best to sound calm, some excitement still managed to leak out of her voice.
Actually, she had already got a taste of Abel’s Lotion and Conditioner’s power during Abel’s examination. When the elite alchemist had revived Abel’s gift, a part of it was distributed towards the most powerful female alchemist in the Union.
A huge shock was generated when that intermediate female alchemist arrived at the Union the next day. From then on, every female elf in the Union had gone crazy to get their hand on one of Abel’s alchemy products. Now the chance was right in front of them. Of course, they needed to pay a high price, but they were not short in gold coins. Their long lives allowed them to accumulate large sums of wealth.
Afterward, Abel 60 bottles of potion shining in blue aura from his portal bag and placed it on the table. He then took out a lambskin parchment and said, “Alchemist Dorothy, this is 30 bottles of Lotions, and 30 bottles of Conditioner. Since I haven’t got my magic gold card, can you please give me some ingredients instead. These are the things I
need!”
“Of course, Master Bennett. You can choose any means of exchange you like. Maybe this is too many ingredients, so I’ll get it delivered to your palace by tomorrow!” Alchemist Dorothy said with a bow.
When Alchemist Dorothy saw Abel’s portal bag, she realized how big it was. A square meter could not fit many ingredients. If he wanted to exchange all 60 bottles of potion into ingredients, the amount would be scary.
After he confirmed that the magic gold card and the ingredients would be delivered to him tomorrow, Abel rode Black Wind out of the Alchemy Union. During his way out of Angstrom City, Black Wind caught the attention of a lot of elves.
When he came across a road, his intuition felt a special sight focusing on him. Although he didn’t see anyone as he lifted up his head, afterward, he felt someone following him.
He couldn’t speed up in Angstrom City, but he didn’t want to escape from the following anyway. He never found the person who attacked him last time, so this might be a good chance for revenge since the enemy showed up by itself.
When he arrived at the entrance of Angstrom City, the Lord medal in front of Abel’s chest began to show its power. He exited this huge city through the noble pathway. Afterward, he let Black Wind jog, but not charge. Black Wind would be way too fast if he was serious. No creature in the Holy Continent could even come close.
They jogged past a big wall of trees, and after another 5 miles, Black Wind stopped, quietly standing on a patch of grass.
Abel’s intuition told him he had been surrounded, but the atmosphere told him that the people surrounding him were not too far out of reach.
“Come out!” Abel gently yelled.
A familiar voice emerged, “Why didn’t you run?” This voice was huge, as though it was almost shaking the air around it.
Afterward, 6 dwarfs riding giant pangolins emerged around Abel. Abel was familiar with these guys. They were the Borton six brothers, and the one who just spoke was the oldest brother.
“Surround him, don’t let him escape. You have the guts to take the mount of Bernie Goff’s brother? Hold him down until he tells us where he got my brother’s mount!” Bernie shouted, appearing next to big brother Borton riding his mountain goat.
Abel didn’t say anything. He only weirdly stared at Bernie. What a waste of effort, at first, he thought he would lure out the dark elves who attacked him, but all he got was a bunch of old friends.
“Oh, you are a Lord. But even if you are a duke, you still need to tell us clearly what you did to my brother?” Bernie’s heart dropped when he saw the Lord medal in front of Abel. It would be a very sensitive thing if he messed with a lord elf in the elf’s territory, so he had to be careful. Otherwise, it would create unnecessary tension.
But, he had become confident once again when he made eye contact with Black Wind. He had interacted with Black a Wind for many days. He was not mistaken. Black Wind was not only larger than a normal mount wolf, but it was also more spiritual.
“Black Wind… Black Wind!” Bernie called with some doubts in his voice. It was best to make sure this was actually Black Wind.
Black Wind weirdly stared at Bernie, not sure what he was trying to do. It only faced Bernie with a humanized gaze of confusion, but it was from this gaze, Bernie was 100% sure this was Black Wind. Only it could have a humanized expression like this.
“Who cares if it was a Lord, capture him!” Bernie shouted.
“Young master Bernie, he seems to have a Master Alchemist medal as well!” Whispered big brother Borton after realizing there was another medal on Abel.
“Who cares? Capture him first. Just be less harsh!” Although Bernie lowered his voice, he was still confident. He didn’t want to go too harsh. If he really did something wrong to a Master Alchemist, the sky might fall on him.
This clearly reflected the stubbornness of Dwarves. Even knowing their opponent’s identity, they still wanted to proceed.
“Bernie, what brought you to Angstrom City?” Said Abel with a helpless tone, while staring at Bernie’s forever changing expression with a speechless gaze.
By this point, he could no longer hide his identity from Bernie, but he trusted him a lot anyway. The Borton six brothers were Bernie’s personal bodyguards. They were very loyal, so as long as Bernie kept the secret, they would definitely, too.
“You are Abel!” Bernie called in disbelief. He began to look at this stranger elf with a completely new gaze and greeted him in a familiar way.
“Bernie, did you think anyone else could control Black Wind other than me?” Abel knew his identity was exposed, so he could only laugh while patting Black Wind’s neck.
Bernie felt the urge to rush towards Abel and pull him down. He yelled, “My spirit, you look like an actual elf. Are my eyes ok? Even if they are not, Borton was a commander. His eyes should definitely work.”
