Chapter 266 Welcome Banquet

“That’s hard to believe, what potion could it be?” Said a female elf councilor. She stared at Master Mara with her eyes wide open.

All the female noble elves quickly began to gather around Master Mara. It seemed like they all wanted to know the answer to this question.

When Master Mara saw Abel, she increased her stride and avoided the elves rushing at her. When she was in front of Abel, she greeted with a bow and took out 3 bottles of gold color potion from her bag. “Congratulations, The Lord of Bennett! These are 3 bottles of ‘space breaking potion,’ I’ll give them to you as a gift!”

“The honorable Master Mara, thank you so much. Your gift is too valuable!” Abel did not take the potion immediately. He bowed first.

Then, the Grand Duke palace steward Derek whispered against Abel’s ears, “the Lord of Bennett, you must take this gift, it’s the elves’ tradition.

Upon hearing these words, Abel quickly took the 3 bottles of potion from the hands of Master Mara and said: “the honorable Master Mara, I will make some potions that you can use and organize my steward to deliver to you!”

Master Mara was feeling a bit weird that Abel had refused her gift at first, but her mood had lightened up when she heard those words. She only had 2 bottles of ‘lotion’ and ‘conditioner,’ so if she wanted to continue preserving her looks, she would have to keep applying them.

Master Mara was very happy with those 2 potions, so she had made the decision for Abel to apply for an honorable Master Alchemist title for him. She had requested a bottle of blue rank ‘lotion,’ ‘conditioner,’ and ‘elven perfume’ from Grand Duke Edwina to send it to the elves’ Alchemy Union.

Master Mara’s train of thought was simple. She told the Alchemy Union that if a Master Alchemist could make a unique potion that was better than the ones herself made, that Master Alchemist definitely deserved an honorable title!

The ‘space breaking potion’ Master Mara had gifted Abel could increase one’s agility and speed. The ingredients required to make these potions originated from the Double Moon Forest. Humans rarely had the chance to use these potions, especially the gold rank ones. Only an honorable alchemist Master like Master Mara could slowly gather the ingredients for these potions through connections. However, their rate of success was still not high. So, these 3 bottles of ‘space breaking potion’ were definitely a very generous gift.

As all the elves were shocked by Master Mara’s generous gift, Abel shoved the 3 bottles of ‘space breaking potion’ in his portal bag.

This action struck Master Mara by surprise. Only people with mana could have a portal bag, and among the elves, only the Druids had mana. Abel did not only have one portal bag but 2. Master Mara smiled oddly face, especially when she saw that portal bag with the cute animated bear embroidery.

By that point, a group of elves arrived at the hall. Suddenly, the chapters in the hall had subsided. Abel could sense all those elves were Druids. When Abel got close to them, he could smell that they had all applied his ‘elven perfume.’

“The Lord of Bennett, these are our palace’s Druids!” Steward, Derek softly introduced.

By this point, Abel realized where those Druids had got their ‘elven perfume’ from. But he was confused why even the male elves had applied them. They were designed for women.

“Derek, why did the Druids have ‘elven perfume’ on them? Ain’t they designed for female elves?” Said Abel as he hesitantly pointed towards the male Druids.

As the steward of the Grand Ducal Palace, of course, Derek would know about this. However, he could not explain to Abel why. It was too embarrassing for the Grand Ducal Palace.

As Derek was feeling a bit awkward, a voice came from behind.

“Mother gave the ‘elven potion’ to the female Druids to assist their training. However, the male Druids also use those potions to help them cleanse their soul, so they blackmailed mother.” Carrie said with the same monotone voice.

“Young master!” Derek bowed and said.

It was hard for Abel to imagine the ultra dominant Grand Duke Edwina getting blackmail. He didn’t know how to react all of a sudden, so he just put up a weird face.

“Bennett, I will tell mother about your mocking facial expression!” Carrie’s voice was just as monotone, but Abel could tell she was threatening him.

“Ms. Carrie, what do you want!” Abel said helplessly; he didn’t want to argue.

“Give me a copy of the beauty potion’s formula once you have the ingredients,” Carrie said, leaving no room for bargain.

Suddenly a young male Druid appeared beside Abel and Carrie, interrupting them. “Countess, you’re here. I’ve been looking for you!”

Abel felt a big rock lift off his chest. It was very hard to communicate with Carrie. He would get blackmail every 2 sentences. At least he could escape this time.

“Don’t go, Bennett. You have not replied!” Carrie ignored the young Druid and said with a hint of desperation. It seemed like all girls take their appearance seriously.

“Why do you have Ms. Carrie’s portal bag?” The young Druid stared at the 2 portal bags on Abel’s waist, and one of them had a cute bear embroidery on it. How would a male elf have something like this? By this point, tension began to build up in Abel’s body.

Every elf in the Grand Ducal Palace knew this young Druid’s relationship with Ms. Carrie, and Ms. Carrie was fine with it. They often chat about training together, and he always believed Carrie would be his future wife. As long as he could become an intermediate Druid, he would be able to propose to Carrie in front of Grand Duke Edwina.

But at that moment, Carrie had ignored him, and she was treating another young elf with a rare attitude. Finally, when he saw Abel’s portal bag, he began to get angry.

“Merlin, I gave him that portal bag!” Carrie replied without much thought.

Merlin’s last bit of rationality broke. The fire in his heart began to burn. He could sense this elf was only rank 3, so he didn’t even need to use physical strength. Only directly striking his power of the will should turn his opponent into an idiot.

Merlin might be punished for doing this with his status as a Druid, so he did some quick calculations as he was losing his mind. In the end, he decided it was worth it. Considering his relationship with Ms. Carrie, the punishment shouldn’t be too harsh, and this would be a good way to show Carrie how much he cared about her.

At the same time, Abel’s commander’s alertness began to lit up. He sensed this Merlin Druid in front of him had bad intentions. Although it wasn’t enough to threaten his life, this Druid wanted to attack him.

As Abel was still thinking an elven force struck his brain by surprise. Due to their distance, Abel’s commander alertness almost had no time to react.

At the same time, this also showed his opponent’s power of the will was not that strong. If not, Abel’s strong intuition would not let him attack that easily.

When Merlin’s power of the will entered Abel’s mind, his initially cocky expression was immediately flipped around. It was like he had entered the mind of a giant dragon. It was not like the mind of an elf at all.
