Chapter 961: Going Home
Lorraine smiled when he heard Abel telling Doff not to damage the teleportation circle. She knew Abel was reminding the elves that he had his eyes on that circle.
Whether it was the big Druids or Queen Luisa, no elf would fight with Abel for that teleportation circle. Abel had done the most, so he deserved the best.
“Angelo Harmon, I never expected you to betray the elves and team up with the Holy knights!” Queen Luisa gazed down at the trembling Angelo Harmon on the ground and lowered her voice.
She trusted Angelo Harmon in the past as a Judge, but even after things about him and the Harmon family were exposed, she didn’t expect him to do something like this.
“That’s right. It was me. I just wanted to kill Bennett. I never knew he was a master potion maker. And you, Majesty, you wiped out my entire family, I need my revenge!” Angelo Harmon gazed at queen Luisa viciously and turned to Abel. Then he laughed crazily.
“Angelo Harmon, It was my mistake to trust you. The kingdom will punish you!” Queen Luisa shook her head.
“Wait !” Big Druid Lucia from the temple suddenly interrupted.
She saw Sainte Lorraine unhappy when she heard that Angelo Harmon wanted to kill Abel, and she also noticed some changes in Angelo Harmon, so she had to say something.
“Angelo Harmon did not only betray the elves, but he betrayed the G.o.ddess. We are bringing him back to the temple!” Big Druid Lucia added.
The 9 other druids from the temple immediately agreed. They also sensed the fallen energy of betrayal to the G.o.ddess from Angelo Harmon.
For an elf that goes against the G.o.ddess, being punished by the temple was their fate.
“Please no. I don’t want to go to the temple. I would rather die here!” The craziness in Angelo Harmon’s eyes suddenly disappeared. Instead, he began to beg Queen Luisa.
“Traitor to the G.o.ddess. The G.o.ddess must punish you!” Big Druid Lucia spoke again before Queen Luisa even said anything.
She then waved her hand, and a mad wolf appeared. It grabbed Angelo Harmon with its mouth. Its energy was so ma.s.sive that Angelo Harmon couldn’t even move.
Angelo Harmon’s begging was not surprising. If the queen killed him, at least his soul could be reincarnated, but if the temple had condemned him, his soul would undergo endless torture.
However, no one cared anymore. Instead, they began to s.h.i.+ft their gaze towards the giant teleportation circle, and a complicated look emerged on their faces.
It truly reflected how weak their defense was if such a big teleportation circle could be built outside of Bay Law city without being noticed.
Besides that, Angelo Harmon created a new ident.i.ty for himself after being banished to build this circle. Still, no one had noticed.
If the tree of life did not alert them, maybe the knights would have succeeded.
“Abel, do you want this teleportation circle?” Lorraine didn’t know what the other elves were thinking and asked quietly.
“Yeah, but I’ll see what the queen says first!” Abel smiled.
“Master Bennett, you can have this circle. But it’s best to take the mana gems off first so it won’t ignite again!” Queen Luisa helplessly gazed at Sainte Lorraine.
Since she heard what Lorraine said, she had to give this teleportation circle to Master Bennett. If not, she might offend Master Bennett as well as Lorraine. It was not worth the risk.
Abel also had no choice. Finding a large teleportation circle was easy in the Holy Continent, but they were tightly regulated in the Central Continent.
Since he was already a law-defying wizard, he might need his Wizard Abel ident.i.ty to move around once his power was settled. Without long-distance teleportation like that, it would be a ha.s.sle.
Hearing those words from the queen, he directly jumped down the dungeon and s.n.a.t.c.hed all the mana gems from the circle. Soon, the glow of the circle began to dim.
That thing could directly connect to the Evil Kingdom, but no one would use it to do so. Even if the Evil kingdom accepted your request, a Law-defying wizard might not be able to come out alive.
Therefore, the most valuable thing about this circle was its material. All Abel needed was to find a few Magic circle experts to take it apart, set it up again in the place Abel wanted, and reconnect it to the wizard union network.
“Master Bennett, let’s head back to the Kingdom city. The evil knights are gone, but there is still something I need to take care of. I also need to organize a place for Sainte to rest!” Queen Luisa said after seeing all the mana gems were taken off.
On their way back, they sensed sorrow looming in the atmosphere. Thousands of druids had died outside the city wall, and many were badly injured.
It was the biggest loss the elves have ever taken in thousands of years. Even the knights had left, many elves still could not process what happened.
“Lorraine, go have a rest in the palace. I’ll take care of something in my place first. I’ll visit you later!” Abel smiled at Lorraine, who just wouldn’t want to let him go.
“Abel, I want to come with you. I want to see your place!” Lorraine did not look towards Abel. She knew Abel would definitely say yes, so it’s just up to Big Druid Lucia.
“Sainte, go if you want, but I have to follow you!” Big Druid Lucia rolled her eyes. Since the G.o.ddess had approved Abel, there was nothing she could do. As long as Lorraine’s demand was not too unreasonable, she would say yes.
Abel was also growing desperate. If he didn’t have to accompany Queen Luisa back to the city, he would have already sped to his place in the potion maker union.
They jumped on White Cloud again and flew towards the potion maker camp. As he looked down from the sky, he soon realized the camp was in total disorder. Many buildings had fallen.
Especially that old building of the potion maker union. It was almost unrecognizable. White Cloud arrived above his mansion. His gate was busted open, and many trees had fallen.
Although some new buildings were damaged, his main living s.p.a.ce was still intact.
“Lorraine, wait for me. I’ll go down and have a look!” Abel said gently and jumped down from 10 meters above the ground, which almost Lorraine’s heart dropped.
“Sainte, Master Bennett is a big Druid. 10 meters is nothing to him!” Big Druid Lucia reminded.
Abel quickly arrived at the backyard and connected to the battle fort. At that moment, it was still thousands of meters above the ground.
“Commander spirit, lower battle fort Jade!” bel said to his waist.
If Big Druid Lucia was not around, he would have to White Cloud to land on the battle fort, but he had to keep that thing a secret.
The battle fort quickly lowered to the ground, and its invisibility mode was defused. The locked front door then swung open.
“Master Bennett!” Druid Poly and Druid Gunter immediately bowed when they saw Abel.
“Oh, the masters are also here!” Abel smiled and quickly bowed.
“Master Bennett, thank you so much. If not, we might have been killed by the evil knights already!” Master Muir stepped up and bowed in grat.i.tude.
Master Balfour and Master Nolan also bowed.
They all felt extraordinary about being saved. They had only entered to prepare for the worse, but the castle had locked itself up immediately.
If they didn’t trust Master Bennett, they would have thought they’d been trapped.
“Master Bennett, what’s the condition now? Where are the evil knights?” Master Nolan asked in slight desperation.
“The battle had ended, and the knights have left, but the union might have some reconstruction!” Abel lowered his voice.
“How are our losses?” Master Muir interrupted.
“The ratio is 5 to 1. 5000 evil knights had died, and 2 mad knights were killed by the G.o.ddess’s grace!” Abel explained.
“Glory to the G.o.ddess!” The 3 masters suddenly felt their hearts lift. A victory like that was amazing.
“So did we lose 1000 elves?” Master Nolan suddenly thought of the ratio.
“Yes, a group of druids charged towards the knights outside the city, and 1000 of them were sacrificed!” Abel nodded.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere grew depressing again. They couldn’t even imagine the death of 1000 druids.
“Right, Steward. Help me pack up and prepare some juice. I have some guests!” Abel then turned to his steward behind his followers and said.
“Yes, Master!” Steward Myer bowed. He, Coachman Loka, and the servants were all protected by the battle fort as well. None of them were hurt.
“Master Bennett, if you have guests. We’ll be on our way and start to organize the Union’s reconstruction!” Master Muir said with a bow.
After the masters left with their followers and his 2 followers sent off their families, he let White Cloud landed.
Since Lorraine had a special ident.i.ty, it was best not to let the other elves know about it.
Lorraine stepped down with big Druid Lucia. She had gone through a big day, so she was a little tired even after using the full recovery potion.
“Lorraine, my place has nothing to see. Most of it is destroyed; I’ll invite you here again after repairing it in a few days. You should have a rest!” Abel gently suggested.
Lorraine looked around. It seemed like the war was quite destructive. Luckily the main building was still intact.
“Abel, I’ll have a rest there then!” She pointed at the main building happily and said.
As a Sainte, coming out for battle was a rare opportunity. Every day she had countless things to study. It was very mentally draining to her, so she wouldn’t waste any time outside. She just wanted to chat and hang out with Abel as much as possible.
“Lorraine, if that’s what you want, then go for it. I have a lot of empty rooms anyway!” Abel also wanted to spend more time with Lorraine. It was peace of mind.
He always trained crazily, no matter if he was in the Holy Continent or the Central. He had too many secrets, and his threats always kept him on his toes.
Hanging out with Lorraine was the only time he felt relaxed. It was a strange feeling, but he cherished it.
“Ah, Sainte, I’ll call the other big druids here. Maybe the ten of us needs some rest as well!” Big Druid Lucia sighed helplessly.
“Master, the lounge is set up!” Steward Myer stepped up and bowed.
“Master Bennett, protect Sainte. I’ll go let the others know, and I’ll borrow that sky sparrow!” Big Druid Lucia then bowed at Abel and Lorraine before jumping on White Cloud.
Ghoo.. ghoo… Abel waved, and White Cloud flew off.
Since all the teleportation circles beside the ones in the city were destroyed by the knights, communication would be a ha.s.sle.
“Lorraine, these are my followers, Poly and Gunter!” Abel pointed at his followers, who were standing quietly by aside.
They knew Lorraine’s status, and they were suddenly struck with a mixture of excitement and joy. They quickly did a deep bow, “Sainte, your prestigious highness. Glory to the G.o.ddess!”
“Glory to the G.o.ddess!” Lorraine smiled and bowed back.
