Chapter 747: 747

Chapter 747: Banquet

“Master Bennett, long time no see!’ Master Mara walked towards Abel and bowed . She looked a lot younger .

“Master Mara, long time no see!” Abel bowed back .

“Do you have any new work lately?” Master Mara looked at Abel with optimism .

“I’ve been busy with some other things lately, so I didn’t make anything new . But I did break through the intermediate alchemy pattern . There are some questions I want to ask you!” Abel replied with a smile .

He skimmed through large amounts of documents . It said that transforming an intermediate alchemy pattern into an elite one was very difficult . Master Mara was very experienced, so she was the perfect candidate to answer .

“Congratulations, you can ask me anything!” Master Mara said with admiration .

She almost forgot Abel was just an intermediate alchemist since he was already recognized as a master alchemist by honor . The skills Abel had shown almost made her feel insecure .

Soon Abel would become an elite alchemist . By that point, his skills would increase once again .

Afterward, Abel and Master Mara began casually chatting . Although many noble elves wanted to talk to the 2 master alchemists as well, none of them did since they didn’t want to interrupt .

As time passed, more and more elves arrived at the hall . The sky was slowly getting dark, and each elf had sat down on their designated seat under the guidance of the servants .

Abel’s seat was organized on the left side, not far from the master seat . It was one of the most prestigious out of the bunch .

“The prestigious Grand Duke Edwina majesty and the prestigious Duke Albert Is here!” Steward Derek appeared in the hall and yelled .

Afterward, Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert stepped into the hall . Suddenly, everything went quiet .

There were 2 reasons for this . One was the respect and honor for Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert, and the other was for Duke Albert’s appearance .

Duke Albert’s face was so youthful and energized, everyone on the spot thought he was a youngster .

It was especially so for the elves the same age as Duke Albert . In their eyes, Duke Albert had returned to his glorious prime time back in the days .

Even though Grand Duke Edwina’s appearance had gotten even younger, it did not bring anywhere as much shock value to the elves as Duke Albert . Grand Duke Edwina was a female . She would normally put on makeup before attending a party . It made sense for her to look more youthful .

She had gotten even younger due to the Beauty Potion, but this had only shocked a few elves that were closed to her .

Duke Albert was different . He was a male elf, a worn-out middle-aged male elf . He had somehow returned to his prime time . What did that mean?

All elves were born with a strong desire for beauty . This was the case, no matter female or male .

Abel suddenly felt like he had done something stupid . At that moment, all the elves’ attention turned from Duke Albert on to him .

What does Duke Albert’s return to youth signify? Of course, it had to do with Abel .

Any elf with a brain could guess it . A Master Alchemist by honor known for creating miracles had just returned from his trip, and a thing like this had happened .

Even Master Mara began to doubt Abel . Abel just said he didn’t have any new work . How come Duke Albert had shown up like this in his party?

“Today, on Duke Albert’s birthday, Grand Duke Edwina and I welcome all of you for attending . I didn’t mean to celebrate this little birthday, but Master Bennett had returned just in time, so I want to use this chance to give him a warm welcome as well . Everyone, lift up your glass!” The star of the party, Duke Albert lifted up his crystal glass and said loudly .

Duke Albert was especially energetic at the party . He was shocked by his audiences’ eyes . He finally felt he had matched with his wife, Grand Duke Edwina . A young couple, just like back in the days .

“Welcome, Master Bennett . I love your present!” Duke Albert lifted up his crystal glass even higher with excitement .

Grand Duke Edwina noticed Abel’s face was not looking good all of a sudden . She couldn’t help but let out a gentle laugh . She didn’t interrupt Duke Albert, nor did she warn Duke Albert . Duke Albert was too happy today .

“Happy birthday to the prestigious Duke Albert, Welcome, Master Abel!’ All the elves in the hall lifted up their crystal glass and yelled .

Abel lifted his glass as well with a headache . It was best for him to never come back to Angstrom City after tonight . This news would soon spread throughout the city, and he didn’t want to imagine what those crazy elves could do .

He put the crystal glass against his lips and gently twisted . The wine poured out and soaked his suit .

“I’m so sorry . This is such an embarrassment . How could I make my clothes dirty? Steward Derek, take me to clean up!” Abel said dramatically, pointing at the wine on his suit as he waved at Steward Derek .

Steward Derek quickly walked in front of Abel and bowed, “Master Bennett, please follow me . I will prepare a new suit for you!’

“Everyone, please excuse me!” Abel bowed and said . He then followed Derek out of the hall .

When he finally left, he let out a big breath of relief . The yearning gaze of those elves was too scary . Duke Albert was also too disgraceful . He sold him out .

“Master Bennett, please come this way!” Steward Derek said, pointing at a change room .

“Steward Derek, where is the nearest teleportation circle?” Abel disrupted .

“Through this corridor!” Steward Derek was confused, but he still pointed the direction for Abel .

“Derek, I’ve drunk too much . I don’t feel very well . Please help me tell Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert I will go first!” Abel finished his words and quickly walked towards the teleportation .

Steward Derek was stunned . Did he drink too much? He just drank one glass of wine, and most of it was poured on his clothes .

However, he didn’t stop Abel . He knew how prestigious Abel was, and Abel’s accommodation in the Grand Ducal Palace was still preserved .

However, Abel did not stay . He directly teleported back to Orwell Palace from the Grand Ducal Palace .

Back in the dining hall, many elves no longer had the appetite to eat . They gaze at that empty seat from time to time, thinking about how they could buy some beauty potion off Abel .

Of course, only a small amount of prestigious elves had this idea . Most of them knew that a beauty potion could not be mass-produced .

Especially Master Mara . She knew the formula for beauty potions . With the beauty grass’s nature, this magical potion could only be successfully made when a beauty grass was freshly plucked .

That wasn’t mentioning the difficulty of making them . Making a highly complicated potion out in the wild was already a daunting task . Its chance of failure was far greater than making one in the lab .

It was at that moment, Steward Derek returned, and he whispered something to Duke Albert . Afterward, a strange look emerged on Duke Albert’s face as he whispered something to Grand Duke Edwina .

“Everyone, Master Bennett is not feeling well, so he left early . He wanted me to let you all know that he was very sorry!”Grand Duke Edwina lowered her voice .

She did not blame Abel . It made sense that Abel was worried . With a law-defying beauty potion like that, she should already be thankful that Duke Albert and herself could even get one from Abel .
