Chapter 1000: New Follower
With the fire inherited object obtained, he could soon establish the law of fire. However, normally a wizard still needed a complete fire wizard guide, one that included a fire law-defying wizard’s knowledge.
Knowledge was different from objects. It was the result of a wizard school’s long years of dedication and experience. It could dramatically reduce a future wizard’s error and speed up his level-up process. Therefore even if Abel’s ident.i.ty was different, he would not ask the Flaming Valley’s Wizard Joshua about it.
Since Abel and Frankenstein were both law-defying wizards already, he didn’t need a guide to draw out a fire law-defying wizard pattern. A fire wizard’s inherited knowledge could come in handy, but he was not desperate for it. He needed to wait for his opportunity to obtain an a.s.set of a wizard school like this.
After a few more days, many wizard schools tried to connect with Abel. Even Wizard Hal from the Lightning Clan offered to wipe out a small fire wizard school for him and ceased all their resources.
Abel might agree with this idea in the past, but after he saw the power of the Holy Kingdom, he knew how valuable every force in the Central Continent was.
But of course, if an organization decided to mess with him, he definitely wouldn’t hold back.
When Abel and Frankenstein were studying the eternal flames together, Steward Myer’s voice emerged “Master, the Judson family’s big druid Joseph wants to see you!”
“The Judson family?” Abel scratched his head. He suddenly remembered it was the big druid he met in the gathering who acted very seriously.
“Steward Myer, invite him to the lounge!” Abel lowered his voice.
He was a little confused. He already declared that he no longer needed a fire inherited object since he only needed one portion.
This caused all the fire wizards to stop their moves. Lending an inherited object was different from selling it.
An inherited object was the core of wizard cultivating within a school, so after Abel declared that he already found one, the wizards stopped trying to contact him.
Big Druid Joseph happily waited with his body s.h.i.+vering from time to time. It was a rarity for a big druid to show his emotions, so you could just imagine how excited he was.
After all, an elf was not immortal. Even their lifespan was much longer than humans or orcs.
The reason for his excitement was the 60 years longevity potion.
He never heard of anything like it, but he knew the number one master potion maker in the continent would not lie.
Big Druid Joseph was the most powerful druid of the Judson family, and he did not have much longer to live. Although he could return to the love of the G.o.ddess, his family might be attacked without him.
Therefore he needed to live a little longer and cultivate another generation of big druids.
When it came to helping druids level or increasing lifespan, there was no one better than Master Bennett.
“The prestigious Master Bennett, I’m sorry to interrupt you!” He quickly bowed when he saw Abel appear.
“Big druid Joseph, welcome!” Abel bowed back with a smile.
The servants stepped up to pour them a gla.s.s of juice as they took a seat. Frankenstein stood by a side behind Abel.
“Master Bennett, I’m here today because I have news for you!” Big Druid Joseph spoke up without even touching his gla.s.s when he saw Abel was quiet.
“What news?” Abel stopped his drink.
“The Judson family have been trading with a rank 20 wizard, and he was interested in trading with you!” Big Druid Joseph continued.
“What does he have?” Abel followed.
With his current status, he would not see a rank 20 wizard unless someone introduced to him. It was a fact.
“His name is Wizard Brem and he is the leader of the Flowing Fire castle. It has 2000 years of history and they had a few fire laws defying wizards in the past. But they all faded along with him. Wizard Brem is approaching the end of his life, so he wants to offer the fire inherited object as well as all the knowledge within the Flowing Fire castle for a bottle of longevity potion from you!” Big druid Joseph lowered his voice.
“Big druid Joseph, please wait!” Abel couldn’t help but interrupt. He took out his potion maker badge and directly connected with the wizard union’s system.
With his status of glory in the wizard union, he had the permission to access some not too important information and report.
The Flowing Fire Castle was a small fire wizard organization in the 3rd line battlefield. Wizard Brem had less than 50 years to live. For an elite wizard, this 50 years was basically the verge of death.
There was only a rank 16 wizard beside him. They might not even be able to protect their knowledge once he died, which was why they asked Abel for help.
“Big druid Joseph, that’s some good information. What’s your request?” Abel smiled and put away his potion maker badge.
“The prestigious Master Bennett, I want to become your follower and my family will be at your service!” Big Druid Joseph stood up and did a deep bow to Abel.
“Big druid Joseph, what are you doing? please stand up!” Abel quickly helped Big Druid Joseph up.
“The prestigious Master Bennett, as you can see, my life force is fading and I don’t have much longer to live. I am the only big druid in my family, so I want you to continue my life for just a little longer so i can cultivate another big druid. If I fail, I hope you can still protect my family!” Big Druid Joseph did not hide his intention.
Abel scanned Big Druid Joseph’s body. He was a rank 21 big druid, and he has been stuck at this rank for a long time. Still, rank 21 was extremely powerful.
His life force was like a candle burning on its last bit of wax.
“Big Druid Joseph, are you sure?” Abel lowered his voice.
Although Abel had Druid Poly and Druid Gunter as followers, there was not much they could do. This might be the case even after Druid Poly became a big druid.
However, this big druid Joseph was different. He had one of the most powerful families in the elves who commonly traded with the humans and different empires. Their information and access to resources could come in handy.
“Master Bennett, I will pledge my life to you and the G.o.ddess of moon can testify!” Big druid Joseph got on his knee and lowered his voice.
Afterward, the familiar energy of G.o.d emerged from afar, and a dark gold glow emerged on the body of Big druid Joseph. That energy of G.o.d tuned into a contract connecting the two of them. All Abel needed to do was to accept it.
“Big Druid Joseph, I accept your loyalty. The G.o.ddess of moon can testify!” Abel placed his hand on the glow and read out the details of the contract.
A contract then emerged in Abel’s soul, and Big Druid Joseph successfully became his follower.
According to the contract, Abel could not force Big druid Joseph to do anything against his will, but he could force him to do anything within his ability. Also, If Abel died, Big Druid Joseph would die with him.
After the contract was established, Big Druid Joseph had become one with Abel, sharing the same glory and benefits.
“Master Bennett, i will forever be in your command and I will give you my all!” Big druid Joseph deepened his respect and said in the most humble tone.
“There is no need to rush. I’ll give you 2 choices. The first is a longevity potion. With your current body, i can increase your lifespan for 160 years!” Abel spoke up.
Big Druid Joseph’s face was filled with excitement. He made the right choice. Master Bennett’s ability really was beyond what he showed to the public.
“Master Bennett, what about the second choice!” He asked again with excitement.
“The second choice is that I can try and ask the tree of life to turn you into a rank 22 big druid!” Abel smiled.
“Master Bennett, I’ll choose the second!” Big druid Joseph said with confidence before Abel even finished his words.
Although the first choice was great, he couldn’t guarantee himself that he could become a rank 22 druid at that time. He has been stuck at rank 21 for too long, and he already lost his confidence.
The second choice was a ray of hope. Although Abel said he would only try, he trusted the tree of life since it helped Druid Poly leveled up.
As long as he could become rank 22, his lifespan would automatically increase, and he would regain his opportunity to keep progressing. He was not stupid, so of course, he would choose the second choice.
“Big Druid Joseph, follow me!” Abel nodded to Frankenstein and turned to Big Druid Joseph.
Frankenstein placed his hand on Abel and Big Druid Joseph’s shoulder. Soon, they appeared at short distance teleportation with a flash.
They took a transit in the giant teleportation circle under his main building and arrived at the tree of life valley.
“Greeting Master Bennett!” The 2 guardian druids showed themselves and greeted Abel.
“Big druids, thanks for your work. I want to enter the valley!” Abel bowed.
“Master Bennett, please!” The big druids stuck out their hands.
Their respect for Abel kept increasing. At first, they only paid extra attention to him, but by that point, they just couldn’t greet him personally.
When they entered the valley, the tree of life immediately sensed Abel’s presence. It was happy to see this contractor with the ability to provide it with pure energy.
Abel’s top-level green gem was combined through the Horadric Cube, so it was purer than anything.
The tree of life lost too much energy from the battle, but since it was just trying to save itself, it did not ask for comprehension.
Last time Abel wanted the tree of life to help him level up his followers, and the 10 top-level green gems he gave him were far superior to anything it had gotten. Therefore, it has been looking forward to making another trade with Abel.
