Abe the Wizard

Chapter 775: React

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Master Peter, I will go on retreat for a while. Thanks for your help!” Abel did not enter the retreat room immediately, turning and bowing at Master Peter.

“I hope to hear the good news from you. Did you remember the master alchemy pattern clearly?” Master Peter knew that Abel did not look at the pattern for long. Although there was a copy of it in the retreat room, it was not drawn by a Master Alchemist specialized in drawing. It could only be used as a reference.

“Thank you for your kind words. I think the pattern is already in here!” Said Abel with a smile and pointed at his brain.

Master Peter was caught off guard a little. He had always been known as a genius among the elves. Even though his alchemy pattern was broken, it did not affect his reputation.

However, as he stood in front of Abel, he felt like a normal elf looking at a true genius.

“You are truly gifted!” Master Peter bowed and spoke.

Abel laughed. He then turned and entered the retreat room. As the door closed, the circles outside were ignited one by one: protection circle, barrier circle, and some other assisting circles.

These magic circles were partly supported by the Alchemy Union power storage and partly distributed by the large protection circle of Angstrom City.

Every Master Alchemist has a different significance to the City. Therefore, Angstrom would definitely support a situation like this. It was a rule.

“Master Bennett, please wait!” Master Alchemist ran down the stairs and yelled, which he rarely did.

“Master Alfred, you are too late. Master Bennett had gone inside!” Master Peter said dully.

“Why didn’t you stop him. Do you know how much damage it will cause to the alchemy union if Master Bennett fails?” Master Alfred furiously. He no longer cared about his manners.

“Of course. Of course, I know how gifted Master Bennett is. But we don’t have the right to stop his decisions!” Master Peter lowered his voice.

Master Alfred looked helpless all of a sudden. Master Peter was right. Abel was also a master alchemist by honor, just like him. The only reason he had a higher status in the union was that he stayed for longer.

This status could not grant him the right to change another master alchemist by honor’s decision. He could only warn him as a fellow union member at most.

“Master Peter, I’m sorry for my attitude!” Master Alfred bowed.

“No worries Master Alfred, you were just looking out for Master Bennett and the Union!” Master Peter shook his head.

There was an awkward silence, and their gaze shifted towards the magic circles in front of the retreat room.

Master Mara’s alchemy lab was not in the alchemy union. Although she was a master alchemist, she was not cultivated by the alchemy union in Angstrom City, so she did not have much emotion towards the place.

She had mostly stayed in Angstrom City due to Grand Duke Edwina’s invitation. At that moment, she also received the message saying an Elite Alchemist had entered the Master Alchemist retreat room.

When she received this message, she did not look up who it was. She knew whoever it was would fail because even she, herself, had lost the courage to become a Master Alchemist.

Meanwhile, a high-rank reporter quickly entered the Grand Ducal Palace. His speedy footsteps reflected the desperation in his heart.

“The prestigious Grand Duke Edwina, I have something essential to report!” The high-rank reporter disregarded the councilors as he bowed at Grand Duke Edwina.

Reporters had permission to enter any time if the situation was urgent. They would even be treated as a priority.

“All of you can discharge. We’ll pick it up again tomorrow!” Grand Duke Edwina said to the councilors.

The councilors bowed and walked out of the main palace.

Grand Duke Edwina then lowered her voice, “Speak, what is happening?”

“I just received the news from the city spirit saying Master Bennett had entered the Master Alchemist retreat room!” The reporter bowed.

Although Master Alfred had banned the alchemy union spirit from accessing the Master Alchemist retreat room’s user’s identity, he could not ban the City Spirit. The City Spirit had the highest authority. It could get any information it wanted.

“Master Bennett wants to become a Master alchemist?” Grand Duke Edwina was a little shocked.

Afterward, a joyful look emerged on her face, and she added, “That’s great. Master Bennett will become a Master Alchemist soon!”

The reporter speechlessly looked at Grand Duke Edwina. Didn’t she know the risk of transforming from an elite alchemist to a master alchemist?

Grand Duke Edwina agreed with Abel’s thinking. She knew Abel’s true identity, and being an alchemist was only one of his occupations. After looking at what Abel had managed to achieve, his success rate of being a master alchemist was very high.

Even if he failed, they would have no problem. The Grand Ducal palace already had enough elven perfume to support them for tens of years.

She believed Abel could regain his skills as an alchemist by that point. This was almost impossible for those failed elite alchemists, but Abel had only taken 2 to 3 years to get where he was. He should be fine.

“Your Majesty, if this news spreads, all the elves in Angstrom City will go crazy!” The reporter warned.

“You are right. Keep it a secret. Do not let any other elves know about this. We’ll discuss after Master Bennett came out again from his retreat!” Grand Duke Edwina lowered her voice again.

The reporter bowed and left the palace. All this time, Duke Albert did not speak. He shook his head.

“Luckily, I was smart enough to get a beauty potion from Abel earlier. If he failed, I would have looked old for a while!” Duke Albert said humorously.

Although he was only joking, he was still worried about Abel.

At the end of the day, Abel was a Master Alchemist by honor and a Grandmaster Blacksmith. He could make potions that greatly impacted the elves, even a secret potion that could increase crops’ production. Not worrying about his decision was hard.

In the past few months, all the other elf cities have had a decrease in fruit production. However, Angstrom City had kept a normal supply. This was all thanks to Abel.

“Let’s hope he succeeds, and the fruit production in Orwell Valley stays plentiful.

Duke Albert’s face looked serious. They knew the third goddess spring water was Abel’s alchemy work. If Abel lost his alchemy ability, they might lose the crops growing potion.

“Why would Abel want to become a Master alchemist at this time? Couldn’t he wait another 10 years?” Duke Albert couldn’t help but say.

“Abel is not an elf. 10 years is not much for us elves, but it is a long time for humans!” Grand Duke Edwina said helplessly.

Even an elf without training could live up to 500 years, but for humans who did the same, they could only live up to 100 years. This was why 10 years meant very different things between humans and elves.

Abel was only 16 years old. He had only been training for a few years. 10 years was too long for him.

“Why is Abel so gifted!” Duke Albert sighed.

He almost forgot. It was only because of Abel’s gifts that they had accepted a human pretending to be an elf. It was only because of his gifts that they had allowed Loraine to interact with a human.

Abel’s gifts also changed elves’ lifestyle–from their desire for beauty, training habits, even to the fruits they ate. They all depended on Abel’s genius.
