Chapter 1115: Gathering
It was the first day of the year, and it was surprising how many people came to see the legendary light. They all brought their New Years’ gift, which Steward Myer put in the inventory one by one.
Just like always, Abel did not care and rested on his battle fort after breakfast.
Soon, he would be on the way to an ancient sight with 3 legendary wizards.
He had been preparing for a few days; even the fire tooth battle fort was stored in his holy portal bag.
Once he was in danger, he would let the Fire Tooth out and jump into it. After all, its powerful defense and attack could guarantee his escape.
He also had more than 5000 full recovery potions prepared. So as long as something didn’t kill him instantly, he would be ok.
As a professional, the more powerful moves, the better.
He gazed at the morning fog of the Ervo forest. It was not a cold morning, but the sun still hadn’t cleared out the area.
Abel took a deep breath of fresh air.
In moments of solitude like this, the nostalgia of his past in the Holy continent returned.
If he did not promise the legendary wizards, he would be spending his time with his uncle Marshall in Harry castle.
He knew about the condition of his family members through the soul of Bartoli. Just like always, his uncle Marshall was still living in Harry castle.
The only thing different was that his uncle was now an elite knight. He no longer needed to become a head commander and get orc G.o.d blood to increase his lifespan.
Abel could give him some water of life and turn him into a wizard. Then, with the support of his potion, aging would no longer be a problem.
As a member of the Bennett family, his father, Duke Bennett, was the most powerful duke in the Kingdom of St Ellis. The dream of his family had come true.
His brother Zack was an Earl, and he led a team of 10,000 knights.
Still, pa.s.sively understanding his family was the most Abel could do. He couldn’t wait for this mission to finish so he could return.
Just like that, he sat alone in his fort thinking about his family as the golden castle was bustling with guests.
The guests were all law-defying wizards, and they wanted their disciples to have more connections in the continent and see more of the world.
Abel didn’t have a single enemy in the Central Continent, and every big organization was trying their best to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with him.
The new year was the best opportunity. That was why the castle was bustling even without any new year celebration party.
40 guests had arrived early in the morning, and 30 of them were already on the balcony.
After all, the disciple of the powerful would be elite level at the least.
There was an unspoken rule. Only elite-level professionals were allowed in the golden castle. Both the legendary light and the food were too advanced for low to intermediate-level professionals.
Druid Gunter sat behind a table as he recorded the gifts with a rune pen.
He had been here ever since the sun came up. He was the weakest of the 3 followers, so he was ordered to greet the guests.
Most of the guests did not head to the balcony to see the legendary light immediately since most of them had already seen it more than once.
Instead, they gathered around, gathering without an organizer.
Since it was a good day, the golden castle had brought the red wine and grandmaster wine from the cellar.
Those wines were the ones with only one combination, so they were not the best quality. But still, it was enough to make the guests glued to their gla.s.s.
Of course, there was water spirit fruit juice for the druids as well.
The druids looked at Abel’s followers with envy, especially Druid Gunter.
Both Druid Poly and Druid Josephus were big druids, but Druid Gunter was only an elite druid, yet he had the chance to serve Master Bennett.
To this day, even normal big druids would not have the chance to become Abel’s followers.
Many big druids had come along since Abel’s water spirit fruit juice was good for druid training.
If resources like this were taken out for the guests, Abel’s followers must have plenty.
“Druid Gunter, are you drinking this everyday?” Big Druid Conrad was a royal big druid who regularly interacted with Druid Gunter, and he asked curiously.
However, his question had attracted a few more druids near the hall, and they began chatting.
“Druid Conrad, I don’t drink this water spirit fruit juice!” Druid Gunter shook his head,
The druids around immediately let out a breath of relief. It seemed like being Master Bennett’s follower was not that great after all.
“The one I drink is much better!” After a moment, Druid Gunter added in a slightly arrogant tone.
Druid Conrad almost spilled his drink, and he immediately covered himself.
His curiosity had gotten the best of him.
“Druid Gunter, do you mind telling me how much resources you get each month? Don’t worry about it if you don’t want to say it!” He added casually.
“I don’t mind at all. A natural breathing potion, some credit points, some healing potions, and the resources needed for a big druid!” Druid Gunter gave out a rough estimation.
Of course, he did not mention the natural force gathered by a personal energy gathering circle in the golden castle. If he did, those druids would go crazy.
Although the royal palace had a natural force gathering circle as well, they were shared by many big druids.
Druid Gunter did not mention the natural breathing potion he obtained was a golden one as well. The effect of one could already last for a month, which meant Druid Gunter was enjoying its power constantly.
As for healing potions, there could be none other than the light healing potions and the power potion.
Still, just those things alone had made the druids’ jaw drop. They knew master Bennett was treating his followers well, but they still did not expect them to get this much.
Just when Gunter Gunter was getting arrogant in the hall, a teleportation glow flashed, and 3 figures emerged.
Suddenly, he froze.
Those guests did not walk. Instead, they floated forward.
There was only one type of being in the world who could do this, the legendaries.
There were no weaklings in the hall, and the ones closest to the door immediately noticed something odd.
All of a sudden, the bustling hall went silent.
“What’s happening? Did master Bennett organize a party?” A female legendary Wizard named Doran laughed.
She was curious why master Bennett would organize a party the day they were setting off.
“The prestigious Legendaries, this is not a party. It’s just a little gathering amongst the friends of Master Bennett!” Big Druid Joseph quickly stepped up and bowed.
“Little gathering!” Wizard Doran shook her head and added, “Where is master Bennett?”
“Please wait, I’ll let master Bennett know!” Big Druid Josephus quickly bowed.
Abel immediately got a message through the research spirit. He was not expecting the legendaries to come this early.
“Legendary Wizard Luke, Legendary Wizard Galon, and Ms Legendary Wizard Doran, happy new year. Welcome to the golden castle!” Abel appeared in the hall with a flash and bowed.
“Master Bennett. Happy new year, this is Wizard Doran!” Wizard Dolan gave Abel a hug with a smile and introduced her.
This gesture almost made everyone in the hall faint. A hug was an extremely close way of greeting wizards. They would only do it to their closest friends.
Wizard Dolan had done so intentionally. Abel had saved his life, so he wanted everyone to know how close they were.
If anyone wanted to mess with Abel, they had to consider him first.
“Master Bennett, we agreed that we have to try the food in your castle!” Wizard Galon stepped up with a smile as well.
“Wizard Galon, my little restaurant is prepared. If the three of you are ready, we can head towards it now!” Abel smiled and bowed.
“Let’s go. Lets not make everyone uncomfortable!” Wizard Dolan laughed.
Afterward, Abel led the 3 legends out of the hall, and the atmosphere relaxed once again.
Although the legendary wizards did not unleash their power, their presence alone was enough to make everyone feel stressed.
The chatter erupted once the legendary wizards left. Many professionals never even saw a legendary wizard in their life.
What happened that day was definitely something to remember.
The news in the hall quickly spread to the platform, and many quickly returned, hoping the legendary wizards would show up again.
As time went on, this news quickly spread to each organization and attracted many more professionals. One was for the juice and wine. Another was for the legendary wizards.
Soon, more than 200 professionals were crowded around the golden castle.
