Chapter 958: Back To the Kingdom’s City
“Master Bennett, Big Druid Lendo, help me protect the Sainte while I and my team head to Bay Law City !” Big Druid Lucia lowered her voice and said.
The tree of life was safe, but Holy knights still surrounded bay Law City. They had to help them.
“Big Druid Lucia, I’ll come with you!” Abel thought for a moment and said.
He couldn’t stop worrying about Bay Law City. Especially his place in the Potion Maker camp. His followers were still there.
“Master Bennett, what’s your power?” Big Druid Lucia never saw Abel unleash his power, so she was a little hesitant.
“Big Druid Lucia, That’s my beast. Maybe it can come in handy!” Abel smiled and pointed at Doff.
Big Druid Lucia knew that a Beamon was nothing to mess with just by looking at its big rod. she couldn’t help but nod after hearing it was Abel’s beast.
“I’ll go as well!” Lorraine pulled on Abel’s s.h.i.+rt. They had been apart for too long, so she said gently.
“Sainte, you have already used the power of G.o.ddess once. You can’t use it again before you recover. Staying here is the safest!” Big Druid Lucia frowned and quickly interrupted.
Lorraine kept quiet, but she still tightly held on to Abel’s s.h.i.+rt, not wanting to let go.
“Big Druid Lucia, just let Lorraine go with us. I have a flying beast so that she can stay in the sky. It will be very safe!” Abel gently held Lorraine’s little hand and turned back to big Druid Lucia.
“Ok, Sainte, just remembers to stay in the sky. don’t get close to the ground!” Big Druid Lucia finally agreed, but she still warned Lorraine.
She realized the Sainte was starting to become rebellious after she met master Bennett again. It might be a problem.
At that moment, giant footsteps emerged from the valley entrance, and a giant body emerged. It was a giant tree men transformed from the oldest tree in the area.
The pa.s.sage could only fit its legs, so it gathered all the branches in front and slowly stepped into the valley.
It disregarded the elves and came to the tree of life. Afterward, it poured out something from its arms.
All of a sudden, white sparkles filled the place. They were all light gems, 5000 light gems in total. With too many of them together, even the elves had almost gone blind.
At that moment, he realized the elves had a glorious victory against the knights, with 500 elite knights and 2 mad knights killed by the G.o.ddess. This could shock anyone on the Continent.
However, the G.o.ddess had taken the light gem of the 2 mad knights along with their souls. Other than 2 dried-up dead bodies, nothing was left.
Unlike the others, Abel was immediately moved by those gems. He immediately connected with the tree of life and negotiated how he could trade those gems.
The tree of life did not know how to speak, but it knew how to transfer thoughts. This was why it knew how to communicate with Abel.
Finally, Abel used 30 top-level green mana gems and exchanged all 5000 light gems.
Even they had signed an equal contract. A trade still needed to be fair. 30 top-level mana gems for 5000 light gems, including 500 elite ones, was not only an amazing deal for Abel, but it was also worth it for the tree of life.
Although green gems had the power of poison, it was truly something plants could take advantage of. Therefore the power the tree of life could get from those 30 top-level green mana gems would be equal to the 5000 light gems. This was the worldview of the tree of life. It didn’t matter what the wizards think.
Abel smiled and stepped up. Under the gaze of the jaw-dropped druids, he put all 5000 of those light gems in his portal bag and took out 30 top-level green gems for the tree of life.
Afterward, the tree of life lifted a root from the ground and dragged the gems down.
Soon, Abel received a happy message from the tree of life. Since those gems were combined with Abel’s Horadric cube, it was the purest top-level gems. Just like that, Abel’s place in the tree of life’s heart moved up once again.
“Master Bennett, don’t you think that’s a little unfair?” Big Druid Lucia couldn’t help but ask.
What Abel did was basically stealing. 30 top-level mana gems for 5000 light gems? Although top-level mana was hard to get, those were 5000 light gems with 500 top-level ones.
Each of them could help an intermediate wizard smoothly become an elite wizard, which was why light gems were so valuable in the Central Continent.
Abel exchanged his lite healing potion for intermediate and low-level light gems, but he could never get his hands on a top-level one. They were too rare, and they had more useful purposes.
“Big Druid Lucia, you might not know, but I’ve signed an equal contract with the tree of life!” Abel smiled again.
It was no secret, all 5 Maile druids on the spot knew about it, and it was just a matter of time until the royal palace, and all big druids in the temple knew about it.
Abel’s intention was clear. He didn’t want any outsider to comment on his personal trade with the tree of life.
Just as expected, Druid Lucia immediately kept her mouth shut, but Master Bennett’s status in her mind shot up once again.
After the tree men draped off the gems, it stepped out of the valley and returned to their original position with the other tree men.
Their roots sank into the ground again, and their arms spread out into branches. Their eyes and mouth also disappeared.
When the elves stepped out of the valley, Ervo frost had already returned to its original form as though nothing happened. If no corpses were plastering the ground, no one would guess a huge wall had broken out.
“Sainte, Master Bennett, let’s get moving!” Big Druid Lucia was still anxious for Bay Law City. Since their task was done here, they had to be on their way.
“Wait, let me summon my flying beast!” Abel knew they were short in time, so he padded his chest, and a huge black hole emerged.
Ghooo…. Ghooo,,, a giant bird flew out.
“White Cloud!” Lorraine happily stepped up. White Cloud also remembered her, so it continued to make ghoo gently.
“Sainte, just jump on!” Big Druid Lucia realized Lorraine was nowhere as quiet as she was in the temple. She was just like a little girl, so she said helplessly.
Still, she was stunned by Master Bennett’s ability. Both the Beamon and this Sky Sparrow were exclusive to the orcs. Sky sparrows were normally used as military carriers. Although the orcs might send them to support others in battle, they had never sold them.
Beamon, on the other hand, was a G.o.dly battle beast. An important force of the orcs.
She had no idea where Master Bennett got those beasts. She hoped he didn’t steal them.
But Druid Lucia was right. Abel really has stolen those beasts. However, he had gotten White Cloud in the Holy Continent, and the Beamon giant was revived from the dead after Abel had given it a new soul.
“Big Druid Lendo, do you want to come as well?” Abel and the elves jumped on White Cloud and asked.
Since Big Druid Lendo was not appointed as one of the tree of life’s guards, Abel asked.
“Master Bennett, I’ll stay here. This place needs me!” He shook his head.
Although 5 big druids were guarding the tree of life valley, most of their beasts were injured, so they were not in their top condition. As the only Big Druid with a close combat ability, he could not leave.
White Cloud flapped its wings. Its giant body lifted off the ground and speeded towards the sky.
Seeing the thinly scattered trees in Ervo forest, Abel could tell how much damage it had taken in the battle.
White Snow did not use its teleportation ability. Instead, it flew steadily. Bay Law City was only 5 minutes away, after all.
Abel didn’t want White Cloud to appear on top of Bay Law City when a huge war was going on. Countless arrows might hunt them down.
As they approached the city, Big Druid Lucia and the other 9 female big druids let out a breath of relief because the battle still had not started.
According to Mad knight Mead’s plan, he would join up with the rest to invade Bay law City after destroying the tree of life.
Since Abel was on White Cloud, his speed was much faster than Mad knight Mead the 3 other mad knights. Also, Mad Knight Mead was dragged down by his injuries.
As Abel kept his eyes on the city, he suddenly noticed 4 beams of the knights below him.
He looked closer. It was Mad knight Mead and the 3 other Mad knights. Mad Knight Mead’s injuries had recovered a little. It was a special thing about knights. If you couldn’t kill them with one strike, they could quickly recover.
Big Druid Lucia took out a badge, and it turned into a G.o.ddess symbol in mid-air, which was clearly visible to Queen Luisa on the city wall.
‘The support from the temple is here! City spirit, open the permission to let them in!” Queen Luisa commanded.
Soon, the city spirit sent a message to Big Druid Lucia’s badge. Without its permission, every being who tried to enter the city would be attacked.
“Master Bennett, we can enter the city now!” Big Druid Lucia said.
“White Cloud, let’s head to the city wall!” Abel padded White Cloud’s neck and said.
White Cloud then gracefully swooped down as the elf guards opened up an area for them to land.
When White Cloud landed, Queen Luisa was already waiting with a few big druids by her side.
“Majesty, h.e.l.lo!” The first one who spoke was not big druid Lucia, but Lorraine. She was like a prestigious amba.s.sador.
She was the most prestigious one of the bunch, so it made sense that she was the first one to speak, which made Abel feel a little strange.
The Lorraine he knew was always a carefree little girl, but at that moment, she was showing a strong sense of n.o.bility.
This was because Lorraine was acting like her true self when she was with Abel, but in reality, she was prestigious all her life. She was born as the countess of the Holy Continent elves and later appointed as a Sainte.
“The prestigious Sainte, your highness, I am very grateful for the temple’s support!” Queen Luisa bowed.
Although Queen Luisa was royalty, she had to address Lorraine as your highness. This was because the great G.o.ddess granted Lorraine’s t.i.tle. It was higher than her status.
It was just that Lorraine still had not officially become a Sainte, so that she couldn’t hold any authority. If not, Queen Luisa would need a big ceremony to greet her.
At that moment, all the elves on the city wall, including the big druids, bowed 90-degrees and said in honor, “The prestigious Sainte, your highness!”
“Brave warriors, thank you for fighting for the city and the elves!” Lorraine smiled and bowed back. She stood on the back of White Cloud and then announced, “we have already destroyed all the evil knights who invaded the tree of life. Only 4 mad knights had escaped. Now, we will kick all of these intruders out of our home!”
“Long live the G.o.ddess!” The elves cheered. This was the only good news the elves heard ever since the knights arrived.
