Chapter 489 Fountain

Abel wasn’t lying when he said he wasn’t planning on stealing . If all the hell creatures in an area were gone, no one would occupy it . If there was no one was there, then it was fine for Abel to claim it . It made sense .

He used the waypoint to head to the fountain with the three archers . It was six meters tall, and even after all the years, it still continued to shoot streams of water towards the sky .

And who were these archers a depiction of? If Abel had to guess, he would say that it belonged to three Amazons . They must’ve been very good with arrows . Upon a closer look at these statues, he could tell that it was an image of them trying to prepare for their next wave of attack . The lines . The details . They were all so elegant . He learned to make statues before, so he knew how great the creator of this piece must’ve been .

To dig up a fountain this big (and to not damage it), he had to remove it from its base . This was something that only Johnson could do . Luckily, since it was outdoors, Johnson could be summoned out to move freely .

Once summoned, before it started doing any work, it just looked at Abel and pointed towards its mouth .

“Since when did you get so smart?” Abel commented . He took out a bottle of “power potion” from his portal bracelet . It was the same bottle that he got from killing a dark-golden level dark wizard . From his understanding, one of two abilities could be gained from drinking the bottle . One was “mana burning,” and the other was “extra speed . ”

Abel didn’t forget to give Johnson its potion . He was late because he wanted to feed it in a safe area . There was a strange energy that was being emitted from this power potion . If he had to guess, it was most likely the power of the Rule, the same energy he harnessed that could cause a permanent split in space and time .

Imagine unleashing the power of the Rule on the Holy Continent . If he actually did that, all the knight’s head commanders and advanced wizards would realize the true power of the “power potion . ” He wasn’t a man who liked trouble, so he tried to avoid as much of it as possible .

Come to think of it, he didn’t even have enough to feed Johnson . Johnson, however, seemed like it couldn’t wait any longer for it . It wasn’t even aware of the struggle that Abel was having to give the bottle away . As mentioned before, the power potion gave one of the two abilities at random . Since Johnson got the “mana burning” ability already, if the potion gave it the same ability again, there would be no point in drinking the potion in the first place .

Still, Abel was thinking a different way . He wanted to do some testing . If Johnson already possessed one of the two given abilities, maybe the potion would just give it the other one that it didn’t have . Obviously, to make sure if that was the case, only one power potion wasn’t enough . He planned to do this with a multiple .

After Johnson took the “power potion,” the golden liquid inside the bottle started spreading out from inside its body . Abel watched nervously . He wasn’t sure if the potion could actually make it more powerful .

Last time, when Johnson was fighting Wizard Cliff, it didn’t do as well as it should be . Because of its speed, it wasn’t really much of a threat against advanced wizard’s “instantaneous movement” technique . When all his other summoned creatures chased after Wizard Cliff, Johnson was also the last one in line .

Slow . Slow . Johnson was just too slow . After Abel went through all that effort to make it a gigantic bow and sword, it wasn’t fast enough to use them towards his enemies .

Once the potion took effect, Abel started sensing a sense of happiness from his soul chain . Johnson was happy that it received the potion . Before he got to ask what ability it received, it started running at an extremely fast speed .

It was a ten meter-tall monster running around Abel . Abel felt like he was in the middle of a tornado . The wind that Johnson caused was blowing everything up . When it ran towards the fountain, Abel realized that he had to tell it to stop .

“Stop moving!” Abel commanded through his soul chain . Thankfully, he was fast enough; otherwise, Johnson would have stepped right into the fountain that he came all the way here for . If it didn’t hurt to kick Johnson’s metal body, he would’ve done so already .

After realizing what it almost did, Johnson backed away in a very timid manner . Then, after Abel gave it a more specific instruction, it became a large shadow that spun towards the fountain . It dug out the bricks that were beside the fountain . Once removed, it lifted the fountain up from its base .

The whole process took a minute . A minute after Abel gave his order, the three archer fountain was lifted very carefully from the ground . When Abel went to have a closer look, he realized that the fountain was still working even once it was in the air . As it turned out, the fountain wasn’t run by some sort of underground sewage system .

At the bottom of the fountain, there were strange patterns that were drawn on the surface . After telling Johnson to lift it a bit higher, he could see that there were ten slots at the bottom of this piece . In each of these slots, there was one perfect gemstone that was helping to keep the fountain working .

So, this fountain was a magic item (a really big one, as it turned out) . Long ago, when the dark world was at its most prosperous, its economy and magic must’ve been very impressive . It was powerful enough to use all these resources on a simple art piece . This fountain was the perfect example of that .

After putting the fountain in his Kong Kong spiritual beast bag, Abel also called Johnson back . Then, after getting on Black Wind’s back, he started removing every statue that he liked in this area .

Like the statue of a warrior that he liked .

That statue of a goddess was also pretty neat . He took that, as well .

And that painting as well . To take it away, he even had the entire wall removed .

And just like that . After doing this for an entire day, the whole area had all its good-looking art pieces taken away . Yes, from the walkway to the cathedral . All of it .

After coming out of the dark world, Abel used the teleportation portal of the Harvest City Blacksmith Union guild to head back to his own magic tower .

Carrie went to ask when she saw Abel back, “It’s only been three hours . You got the statues already?”

“Yeah,” Abel nodded, “They’re all here . I don’t know a lot about decorating, so I just took everything that I thought was useful . ”

Then, as Abel laid out the artworks from his Kong Kong spiritual beast bag, Carrie started examining them one by one . Abel didn’t know how much they were worth, but these were all the best works that were used to worship the gods . In terms of quality, they should be at the top of the land that they originated from .

Abel’s hunch was right . As soon as Lady Carrie laid her eyes upon these ancient statues and paintings, only shock could be seen from her face . Even for a rich elf like her, she still recognized these pieces as extremely rare treasures . Even the richest nobles would have a lot of trouble searching for them .

Finally, Abel took out the three archer fountain and placed it on the ground .

“Is that a magic fountain, Grandmaster?” Lady Carrie asked as soon as she saw it, but before Abel said anything, she was already captivated by its appearance and design .

“It’s… . It’s priceless! This is a legendary art piece! It can’t be compared with anything else!”
