Chapter 297 - Old Friends Meet Again
“Believe it or not, I will not take off my disguise.” Abel glanced at Bernie and threw a bottle of Lamo Wine towards him.
Bernie frantically caught the bottle of wine. Only Abel would use such a luxurious crystal glass to hold Lamo Wine, but it wasn’t too surprising considering that all dwarfs went crazy for this wine.
Bernie opened the bottle and viciously poured a large mouthful of it Down his throat. His bearded face was filled with splashes of the wine, “Still the good old taste!”
Borton six brothers stared at Bernie’s face with their heartbroken. If Bernie was not their young master, they would definitely beat up anyone who had the guts to waste a master’s wine like this.
“No need to surround him anymore. This bastard is Abel!” Said Bernie waving his hand.
Big brother Borton jumped off his giant pangolin and bowed, “Master Abel, I’m so sorry for what had just happened!”
historical
“No worries!” Abel jumped off Black Wind and greeted big brother Borton with a big laugh.
After Abel greeted all of the Borton brothers, he turned back to Bernie and said, “That’s right, you still haven’t replied to me, Bernie. What brought you to Angstrom City?”
After hearing Abel’s questions, Bernie ruthlessly poured down another mouthful of wine and said: “All because of you, we have been trying very hard to find you!”
Bernie had come out for days now, dwelling around the elf’s territory like a stupid person. Although on paper, he said he was trying to resolve the exchange between the elves, what he really wanted by dwelling around here was for Abel to give him some more Lamo Wine. These so-called Master Wine among the dwarfs had been drunk up. He didn’t even have any left for himself, and that other powerful figure who demanded the wine could not be messed with
Because of this, he had sent out all the men he could to find Abel. During this time, he never had any news in regards to Abel, not even that little elf Loraine who sat behind Abel. Of course, he would never have guessed that little elf was actually the second daughter of Grand Duke Edwina. There was no way the Grand Ducal Palace would let anyone know about something so embarrassing, such as losing Loraine.
Now, Abel was standing right in front of him. At this moment, he felt like he was blessed by Titan, so he couldn’t help but let out a big cry hugging Abel.
“Bernie, what do you want from me?” Abel asked weirdly as he stared at Bernie. It was like Bernie had just found his long lost brother.
“Master Abel, please help me!” Bernie could no longer hold it in. He grabbed on to Abel’s belt and yelled.
“Bernie, I’m now an elf, you are a dwarf. We can not be so close like this!” Said Abel with an awkward smile.
“Master Bennett. Can I exchange some wine from you? I can give you anything I can!” Bernie begged.
“First, you have to change the way you call me. I’m now Elf Bennett, so stop calling me Abel. Other than you guys, not many people around here knew about my human identity!” Abel grabbed Bernie’s shoulder and gave it a little pat.
“Bennett! That’s a familiar name!” Bernie gently repeated this name. Afterward, he saw Abel’s Master Alchemist medal and asked in disbelief while pointing at it, “you are Master Bennett?”
Bernie hit himself in the back of the head and said, “How stupid am I? Master Abel disappeared, and Master Bennett appeared. If a person could make such wine could be made, their alchemy level should be very high. Of course, it’s no surprise you became an Alchemy Master.”
It seems like as long as you could make a good bottle of wine, any other potions would mean nothing to the dwarfs. The dwarfs didn’t need many potions, but they had a relentless thirst for good wine.
“Call me Bennett from now on. I don’t have the wine you need right now. If you really want it, bring some more Lamo to my palace tomorrow, and I’ll make you some!” Although Abel could not understand how the dwarf’s brain worked, Bernie had always been good to him. So it was better to help if he could.
“Really, I knew you are that....” just when Bernie was about to say the name, he remembered what Abel had just said. He was stuck all of a sudden.
Seeing Bernie’s getting stuck, Abel couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Bernie laughed loudly, as well. It seemed like they were back in the days where they fought and lived together, so the Borton six brothers also couldn’t help but laugh as well.
Bernie felt a heart full of warmth. Abel didn’t mention anything he wanted from him and agreed to give him some Lamo wine. Those Wine could secure his status within the dwarfs, so of course, he would repay Abel. He quickly asked, “Master Bennett, do you want mana gems or iron ore?”.
“Bernie, is it possible to find some meteorite?” Abel didn’t care about other ore. As his status was raised, he no longer needed to stress about a lot of materials. Both the Blacksmith and Alchemy Union could help him buy the things he wanted, but a meteorite was different. The dwarfs would collect these things that fell from the sky. They would rarely be seen in other places.
“Maybe not much, but since that’s what you want. I will definitely find a way!” Said Bernie pounding his chest. With his current status, it wouldn’t be a problem to find some meteorite, but the amount was not promised.
“Just deliver the things to my palace, normally I will be training there.” Said Abel tipping his head.
Maybe to other people, meteorites were only some top quality material, but they were Abel’s biggest secret weapon. As long as he had enough meteorites, he could create enough super exploding balls.
“Master Bennett, that’s a deal. I’ll go to your palace tomorrow!” Yelled Bernie in excitement. By this point, he blamed himself he couldn’t buy more Lamo Wine since there weren’t many of them within the elf territory. If he wanted, he still needed to go back to the dwarfs and deliver them here. Just preparing some more portal bags should be fine.
Just when Bernie was thinking, Abel was already waving at the Borton six brothers and saying, “I’ll get going now, see you guys later!”
Afterward, Abel jumped back on Black Wind and disappeared into a strike of black lighting in front of their eyes.
“Black Wind is so fast!” Bernie said in admiration. Mount wolves were the best mounts in the Holy Continent, and Black Wind was the best one out of the bunch. Now, it seemed like it was even a lot faster than before.
Big Brother Borton let out a big breath of relief. His head commander intuition told him that the Abel that just stood in front of him was neither an elf; it was a vicious beast. His tension was only released after Abel had left.
“Master Abel was scary. If he had really made a move just then, maybe we would all stay here forever!” Big Brother Borton gasped.
“No way. How come I didn’t felt anything?” Asked Bernie, looking at big brother Borton in suspicion. Bernie’s first impression of Abel was a brother he could help when in danger. Secondly, he thought of Abel as a Black Smith master who could make some scary explosions. He wouldn’t doubt that Abel was a scary genius based on his ability, but not to the point where a head commander like Big Brother Borton could say such things.
Big brother Borton could not explain to Bernie what it was like to have an intuition as a head commander, but he trusted his intuition deeply. It seems like he could only admire in his heart while watching master Abel keep progressing.
After Black Wind ran for another 10 meters, it jumped up from the ground and disappeared. White Cloud had picked them up. Abel felt like all his troubles and stress were lifted from him once he sat on White Cloud. It was like nothing matter at this point; he couldn’t wait to travel around the Holy Continent with White Cloud once it leveled up.
Afterward, White Cloud landed on a peak of a mountain. As soon as its feet touched the ground, it began to make ‘goooh.. gooh’ sound to blame his owner for not seeing it. All Abel could do was comfort it through their soul chain.
The Soul Potion had brought White Cloud’s progress down an entirely different path from his peers. His invisibility allowed him to become an official soul beast. Maybe it was the first Sky Sparrow who became an official soul beast. Now, its potential was unlimited.
