Chapter 316 - Set Out
Ancient bows were passed down from the ancient times. The formula to make them had been lost now days, so they were never sold at any markets. They could only be inherited within the noble elf’s family. Abel only realized this after Lady Muriel told him after they left.
Abel was wearing a full body of black armor that matched Black Wind’s fur. He almost looked like a ghost as they speeded in the forest. All his dark gold equipment was stored in his portal bracelet along with a large amount of ‘Nutrition Potion’, ‘Recovery Potion” Healing Potion’, and ‘Poison Antidote’.
There was also a Snake Ego recovery belt shimmering in blue aura under his black belt. There were 8 slots in this belt. It was placed with 1 bottle of dark gold ‘Recovery Potion’, 4 bottles of dark gold ‘Healing Potion’. 2. bottles of dark gold ‘Poison Antidote’, and one bottle of soul potion. These things were Abel’s lifesavers in his most critical moment.
Before he left Angstrom City, he had already given all the Rum in his basement to Bernie to take back. There were also a few million gold coins in the mansion’s storage, which should be more than enough to keep the mansion in operation after he left.
He also went to the Alchemy Union one last time to exchange another 100 bottles of ‘Conditioner’ and ‘Lotions’ for a large number of resources. Since Abel’s potion had reached an astronomical price in the last auction, the Alchemy Union had almost cleared up all their stocks in this exchange. Abel did not specify which type of resource he wanted, so he just ended up with a little mountain of many different alchemy resources in his Kong Kong spirit portal bag.
By the point, the blue-haired small-eyed Lady Muriel realized Abel was a little distracted, so she turned and said: “Be careful Master Bennett, we are officially entering the forest soon!”
“Summon all of your Ravens and Poison creepers. My Oak Sage is the highest rank, so you guys don’t need to summon yours!” When Lady Carrie’s finished her last word, she looked at Abel. Their squad worked very well together, so they only needed to explain to Abel.
The 5 ladies drew with their hands in unison, and Ravens flew out from their monster portal bags. The scene looked quite spectacular, with 25 ravens flying in the sky. Abel was not shy of showing his power as well; he too summoned his 5 ravens with his druid soul among a shimmering green aura.
“Master Bennett, I didn’t expect you to be a druid as well,” the green-haired child-like Lady Morrie screamed in amusement when she saw Abel’s ravens.
“Morrie, Bennett is actually an official druid specialized in summons!” Lady Carrie did not use any title to address Abel since they were in the wild. That was how their squad usually addressed each other anyway. She would only call Abel ‘Master Bennett’ when talking to Abel to show her respect for Abel’s master alchemist status.
Only Lady Carrie knew about Abel’s true power in the squad. Although he was only a rank 3 wizard, he could summon an official Druid’s spirit wolf. Therefore, it was better to let her squad know beforehand so they could work together better.
30 ravens scattered in the sky, patrolling a large patch of the area around them.
Afterward, 6 Poison Creepers were summoned. From time to time, the vines of those poison creepers would surface, so nothing would attack them from underground
By this point, Abel understood why elves were the ruler of the Double Moon Forest. All 5 of those Lady were riding the most powerful mad wolves. The sky was filled with ravens responsible for patrolling and distracting the enemy. There were also some Poison Creepers underground, and an Oak Sage following behind to enhance all of their life force. All this limited the chance of surprise attacks.
The most dramatic difference Abel felt was through his Druid soul. Back in the city, he could only sense the feeling of some plants or trees, but now he felt like his druid soul was wrapped in a green scent. All the trees around him seemed to be very friendly, they kept reminding his druid soul where the poison bugs were, and what areas were forbidden.
“Bennett, I’ll introduce you to the ability of the elves in our squad, so we can work together better!” Whispered Lady Carrie as she rode her mad wolf to the side of Abel.
Originally Lady Carrie didn’t care too much about Abel’s ability much like the other 4 Ladies, but her perspective had completely changed when she discovered Abel’s new battle outcome.
He had one-handedly killed 7 commander elves and an official druid. No matter how he did it, he still deserved respect.
“Lady Carrie, please tell me!” Abel said with a bow.
“Since we are outside, please just call me Carrie instead. We’ll all do the same, no need to be polite. Just put all your attention on being alert at all times!” Lady Carrie explained.
Abel had never set out for an actual adventure before. Even when he was with the dwarfs, he was more like a pilot than an adventurer. Plus, Bernie and his squad were not real adventures anyway, so Abel didn’t know anything when it came to going on an adventure.
“Yes, Carrie. Please call me Bennett, everyone!” Abel nodded and said while turning his head back to the 4 Ladies.
“Muriel, Morrie, Jenny, and Marian are all experts in summoning. They had inherited some powerful magic weapons from their family, so they super summon and unleash the power of some intermediate druid. They also had some outstanding archery skills!” Abel calmly explained to Abel.
“I’m well trained in both summoning and elements. I can unleash a part of an elite Druid’s power!” Although Lady Carrie’s voice was just as calm when she introduced herself, some pride still came through.
Since Abel was planning to leave the elves world after this mission. He decided to stop holding back. It was better to be aware of each other’s ability out in the wild anyway. Abel then followed, “I’m a top-level commander as well as a beginner druid expertise in summon!”
Although Abel’s voice was soft, all 5 of the ladies had heard him clearly due to how quiet the forest was. Other than Lady Carrie, who was aware of Abel’s ability, all the other ladies were in disbelief.
“Bennett, how come you have so much energy to learn so many things?” The relatively shy gold-haired Jenny asked.
“Jenny, don’t ask too much. Bennett’s identity is a bit of a mystery!” Carrie interrupted when she saw the awkward look on Abel’s face.
By this point, the nerdy Marian was looking at Abel with eyes full of curiosity. As a friend of Lady Carrie, she knew full well that there weren’t many elves who would make Carrie speak up. There must be something going on with Bennett.
Elves had a set of techniques to examine a person’s age. Although all of Abel’s scent was hidden because of the transformation necklace, Marian could still see that his face was very young. If he didn’t have powerful support providing with endless resources, even a genius would not be able to become a glorious Master Alchemist, a top-level commander, as well as a beginner druid at this age.
Under this awkward atmosphere, Abel had been accepted in with this Lawland squad. Since he had exposed a bit of his true power, the other members were no longer bragging about how they would protect him throughout the entire journey like the banquet last time.
