Chapter 968: 968

The day of Master Bennett’s druid ceremony arrived, and Bay Law City was shining brightly. Even after the disaster, the elves’ desire for beauty remained.

The elves decorated the city not only to welcome the powerful figures who would soon attend the ceremony but also to celebrate their victory.

By 9 am, a pure white flying carriage arrived at the top of the City, and Steward Hardy quickly stepped up to greet.

Abel was wearing a silvery-white robe with delicate yet understated flower embroidery. On his head was a tree branch head loop with silvery stripes.

As he stepped down, all the guards on the square fell on one knee and bowed.

“Master Bennett, her majesty is waiting for you. We are here on her majesty’s behalf to express our welcome since her majesty is too occupied by the guests!” Steward Hardy bowed.

“That’s very polite, Steward Hardy!” Abel smiled. He knew Queen Luisa was very busy. He saw her invitation, and he knew how high their status was.

He just didn’t know how many of them would attend. If only a small number of them attended, it would be a huge embarrassment to him and the royal palace.

Frankenstein did not jump down the carriage. Instead, he appeared in a flash behind Abel.

Steward Hardy shivered a little seeing that move. That thing was definitely not an elf. No elf had ever become a professional wizard.

Afterward, Abel’s 2 followers stepped down. First Druid Poly, then Druid Gunter. However, they were not looking too good. Abel’s power had given them a lot of pressure.

“The prestigious Master Potion maker and dragon druid Master Bennett is here!” Steward Hardy yelled as Abel stepped in the palace door.

At that moment, at least 15 law-defying wizards and 11 big druids had gathered.

He was very surprised. He was here early. The official ceremony would only commence at 11 am, but so many powerful figures had already arrived. It meant that there were only more on their way.

The 11 big druids were all from the kingdom’s city, so it made sense for them to attend early. There was also the Lightning’s Wizard Harr and Wizard Mutton, the Lake of Fire and Ice’s Wizard Dunstan, the Wizard union’s Wizard Hume, as well as some law-defying wizards he didn’t know.

“Master Bennett!” They all bowed no matter if they knew Abel or not.

“Please excuse my lateness!” Abel bowed back.

“The prestigious Master Bennett. I was going to visit you 2 days ago, but you are in retreat, so I didn’t want to bother you!” Wizard Hume stepped up with a smile.

“I’ve just leveled up, so I needed some time to get used to it!” Abel also smiled.

“Of course, it’s hard to believe that you are only a rank 18 druid the last time we met. It has only been a while, and you are now a big druid. Your progress speed is so impressive!” Wizard Hume sighed.

Everyone on the spot agreed. There were too many challenges progressing from rank 18 to a grand level. Even the slightest mistake could bring you to a road of no return.

But they all knew Abel was rank 20. he was just hiding his ability.

“This is all thanks to the blessing of the great goddess!” Abel bowed to the sky.

It was a perfect explanation. No matter how jealous those powerful figures were, they couldn’t question the action of a goddess.

Abel was also not lying. If the goddess did not help him sign a contract with the tree of life to protect him, he would not have enough energy to progress this fast.

But still, he needed to fulfill the prerequisite of rank 20 state with perfect law-defying magic patterns. If not, the tree of life would not be able to help him progress no matter how much energy it had.

He might be able to forcefully become a big druid, but then his wizard journey would come to a halt.

Therefore, by the time Abel signed a contract with the tree of life, his body already had everything it needed to level up.

“The Crazy Heart Valley’s archpriest Ferguson and archpriest Horace is here!” It was the first time Abel saw a archpriest, so he turned.

“The Crazy Heart Valley congratulates Master Bennett for becoming a big druid!” 2 black-cloaked figures holding bone magic staffs stepped up, and one of them bowed.

“The elves’ Master Bennett Welcomes you two!” Abel bowed back.

“Master Bennett, I can sense that your youthfulness!” A archpriest gazed at Abel and lowered his voice.

A archpriest had more understanding in life force than any other professions, so they couldn’t help but feel surprised. If they closed his eyes, Abel was just like a newborn elf to them.

“This is all thanks to the blessing of the great goddess!” Abel just this all-mighty explanation once again.

“Master Bennett, my name is Ferguson. We are here to congratulate you, but we also have something to ask!” Priest Ferguson said bluntly.

“Priest Ferguson, please ask away!” Abel frowned. This priest was really not trying to put on a polite look by asking him questions at this moment. Were they here to provoke him?

“Master Bennett, I heard you have a contracted Beamon. Can I see it?” Priest Ferguson continued.

“Priest Ferguson, did you orcs lose a Beamon? Or are you accusing me of stealing a Beamon?” Abel said in a slightly threatening tone.

Abel gave doff’s soul after it was revived. Even the god who created it originally might not be able to recognize it, let alone those priests.

“Master Bennett, the orcs have a holy object with the ability to summon Beamons, but we lost it many years ago. If you have it, please return it to us. We will be very thankful!” Priest Ferguson said with a straight face.

Abel shook his head. He did not have many connections with the orcs, and that Holy bone card was already damaged. It was repairing itself in the Rogue Encampment of the Dark World, but even if it wasn’t broken, what right did the priests to get it back?

There was a universal unspoken rule in all continents: Finders Keepers.

“Priest Ferguson, if you believe I have your holy object, then you must have a method of finding it. Please have a go!” Abel lowered his voice.

“Master Bennett, please summon your Beamon. Then I’ll know if our holy object is on you or not!” Priest Ferguson strengthened his tone.

“What if I don’t?” Abel also became a little irritated.

It was only the first time they met, and those priests kept annoying him. Did they really think Abel was fun to mess with?

“Master Bennett, then you would anger the crazy heart valley. Do you know how serious that is?” Priest Ferguson let out a cold laugh.

Priests relied on death qi, and the potions they needed were different from other professions, so they didn’t need to please a master potion maker as much as others.

He also didn’t have too much respect for a big druid. They were the weakest profession at that level, and the elves were not good at fighting anyway. When it came to summons or spells, a priest would be superior.

On top of Abel’s age, Priest Ferguson was starting to treat him lightly.

The crazy heart valley was located in the heart of the Orc’s Crazy heart kingdom. It was where their scariest powers were gathered.

The Crazy Heart Kingdom was one of the Orc Kingdoms along with the Winter Hoof Kingdom. Normally, more peaceful orcs such as the Tauren would gather in the Winter Hoof Kingdom, while the more battle thirsty ones such as the lions, bears, foxes, wolves, and behemoths would gather in the Crazy Heart Kingdom.

Because of this, the Crazy heart Valley had many archpriests. Their power was closely behind the wizards, which was what gave Priest Ferguson his confidence.

However, as soon as a threatening intention reflected in his words, scary energy gushed out from Abel’s hooded assistant.

That energy was unleashed onto Priest Ferguson, and he sensed that he was locked down by a power of the will.

“Who are you behind the hood? Why don’t you show yourself, Law-defying wizard!” Priest Ferguson yelled as 3 bone shields spun upward from behind.

“Frankenstein, stop it!’ Abel turned and said.

Immediately, Frankenstein retracted all his energy and shifted his power of the will away.

Everyone on the spot was stunned. A law-defying wizard had lowered his status to become Master Bennett’s assistant. Who would do something like that?

“Priest Ferguson, if you want to have a look at my Beamon. Then I’ll grant your wish, but it doesn’t have a good attitude. It has to fight as soon as it’s out. If you really want to see it, then let’s put on a show!” Abel lowered his voice.

“Yes, Master Bennett, let’s put on a show!” Priest Ferguson felt like he had made a wrong decision. Maybe offending Master Bennett was a mistake, but his mission today was to find out if the Master Bennett’s Beamon had been summoned by their Holy Object.

That Holy object was extremely valuable to priests. An elite priest could investigate the resurrection spell through that holy object and become a archpriest. It was basically a shortcut to becoming a archpriest, but the process would become much more complicated without it. The reason the bighorn priest had kept this holy bone card a secret was so that he could study it. If he gave it out, he would lose a great opportunity to become a archpriest.

If this thing was not important, Priest Ferguson wouldn’t have provoked Abel to force him to show his Beamon before the ceremony even began.

“Master Bennett. If you really don’t want to show Priest Ferguson your Beamon, then don’t. If the crazy heart valley gives you trouble, the Lightning clan will definitely go to war with them !” Wizard Harr interrupted.

“Yeah, the Lightning clan will always stand by your side. We will make the Crazy heart valley pay if they mess with you!” Wizard Mutton also added.

The 2 wizards from the Lightning clan expressed their stand. After all, they had the authority to represent the Lightning clan.

With their support, Abel couldn’t help but feel his heart warm up.

“Master Bennett, even the elves just went through a battle. We big druids are also not afraid to go to war with the Crazy heart valley!” Big Druid Lended added.

“Master Bennett, all you need is to say a word, and the big druids will support you!” Big Druid Lendo also spoke up.

Suddenly, Queen Luisa stepped up “Priest Ferguson. Since the Crazy Heart Valley is provoking our Master Bennett, the elves will end all our trade with the Crazy heart Valley!”

She couldn’t keep quiet anymore. Even the Lightning clan had expressed their stand. The royal palace had to say something.

Master Bennett’s identity was too special. If the temple found out that she kept quiet when Master Bennett was being provoked, her image would be dramatically impacted.

“Priest Ferguson, Master Bennett is my friend as well as the friend of the wizard union!” Wizard Hume’s words were not threatening, but still, his intention was clear.

All of a sudden, every powerful figure on the spot began to turn against Priest Ferguson. A fight might break out as soon as someone said a word wrong.
