Chapter 963: Power Up
In an ancient palace of the wizard union, 7 of the most powerful law-defying wizards gathered in a group.
“Everyone, we should increase the elves’ power status!” Law-defying wizard Clement of the investigation department lowered his voice.
Although the elves were well known in the Central Continent, they actually weren’t that useful in the front-line battlefield.
However, according to a new report about their battle with the Holy Knights, it seemed like this religious race still had a lot of power in store.
“Back in the days when the war between the wizards and the G.o.ds took place, the great G.o.ddess of moon surrendered. She and a few other G.o.ds decided to make peace with the wizards and became one of the few legally recognized G.o.ds of this world!” Wizard Hume sighed.
All the wizards on the spot remembered that great war. It was initiated by the wizard humans and wizard dwarfs to overthrow the G.o.ds with their rising power, and it had changed history ever since.
Most of the details were well doc.u.mented in legends, but only the Wizard union headquarters had access to it.
In a world ruled by G.o.ds, every being had to live under their command and authority. Whether they were n.o.bles or kings mattered not.
As wizardry began to spread, the G.o.ds had condemned them as a threat and began their ma.s.sacre.
Still, wizardry kept developing in those dark ages. Maybe hard times made strong people, but many great wizards were born.
They all had a deep yearning for resources and began to rebel against the monopoly of the church.
After a long year of battle, countless wizards were dead, but powerful wizards kept coming. The most powerful wizards in the legends were all from that period.
Wizardry and the elves had a special relations.h.i.+p. Although the elves could not become wizards, wizardry was derived from elite elves’ practice, just like the druids.
The elves did not like conflict, so they did not have much tension with the wizards. Especially the G.o.ddess of the moon. She was the G.o.d of the elves, and she had always kept a good att.i.tude with the wizards. She was one of the few G.o.ds who the wizards did not hate.
The war ended with the wizards destroying the church, and the most powerful G.o.ds went into an eternal sleep.
Of course, the wizards did not do so without sacrifice. Many of the most powerful wizards were lost, and that battle had thinned out the mana concentration of the environment. Slowly, the progress of wizardry began to slow.
The worst part about this battle was that it caused a dimension crack in the Central Continent, which was how the demons from beyond had entered this world many years later, and everything turned into a disaster.
“I disagree. We shouldn’t value their power over their current status!” Law-defying Wizard Joseph lowered his voice.
“Wizard Joseph, please explain” Wizard Clement lifted his hand and asked.
“I’ve seen the report. The elves won, but it was because the great G.o.ddess of the moon helped them. Their own fighting ability didn’t do much!” Wizard Joseph shook his head.
“But there were 10,000 Evil knights, not to mention most of them were intermediate and elite level with 10 loyal mad knights as a leader. The elves could kill half of them, no matter how lucky they were or how much the G.o.ddess of the moon had helped them, the elves’ ability definitely still played a role!” Wizard Clement also lowered his voice.
Increasing one’s power was a big deal. It meant that the wizard union needed to give the elves more resources from all areas. With the scarcity of resources, if they gave the elves more resources, the others would get less.
“Everyone, I think we should focus on that tree man summon ability they used and see if it’s possible to use in the front line battlefield. I suggest we immediately send an amba.s.sador to negotiate with the elves!” Wizard Hume suddenly interrupted and said.
That’s right, the most eye-catching thing about this report was the tree men summoning spell. There was no doubt it would be useful in battles, and it was the best way to control those evil knights.
“Wizard Hume, you have a good relations.h.i.+p with Master Bennett. Why don’t you ask him? Also, I suggest that we give master Bennett a badge of honor to congratulate his amazing work against the evil knights!” Wizard Clement smiled as he looked at Wizard Hume.
No one on the spot was against Wizard Clement’s suggestion. Master Bennett really contributed a lot, and he was the one who cast the three men summoning spell.
Although all wizards on the spot knew this spell couldn’t be used away from the tree of life, at the end of the day, Master Bennett was the one who drew the tree men summoning pattern. It was an undeniable fact, so master Bennett basically killed those 5000 knights.
How could they not reward him for such a big contribution?
Master Bennett was a master potion maker of the elves and a big druid, so all the wizard union could do was give him a badge of honor. The other rewards would be up to the elves.
Second, no wizard on the spot said anything because none of them wanted to become the enemy of a unanimously agreed upon most powerful potion maker of the Central Continent.
No matter who you are, you would one day need a potion. You could have the most valuable ingredients and the best formula, but the success of the potion was never guaranteed, and each fail would be a tremendous loss.
However, not Master Bennett. Not only because he had never failed to make a potion with 5 portions of ingredients, but you would also end up with a blue-level potion.
According to the data of the Central Continent, Master Bennett rarely failed. Therefore, the last thing those wizards wanted was to cause misunderstanding.
Although a badge of honor from the wizard union might sound ordinary, a person with such a badge would be pushed to a whole other status.
First, they would have unlimited permission to use any wizard union magic circle and have first priority access to purchase resources from the wizard union.
Although having free access to a teleportation circle wasn’t much to a master potion maker, having first priority was a totally different story. The wizard union teleportation web could directly recognize them.
As soon as someone with a badge of honor requested something, all other requests would be delayed.
It was prestige on display, similar to the level 3 authority of the wizard union but even more powerful.
“As for the increasing the elves power status, maybe we should see how they develop in the future and evaluate again. It’s still too early to tell!” Wizard Clement accepted the Wizard Joseph’s counterargument and suggested.
The G.o.ddess of the moon had helped the elves, but the most eye-catching things were still Master Bennett’s tree men summon and dragon druid transformation.
They had no right to grant the G.o.ddess a badge of honor, so as long as they acknowledge Master Bennett’s accomplishments, they could postpone the elves’ status evaluation.
After seeing no one had any comment, and they all agreed to give Master Bennett a badge of honor, Wizard Clement changed the topic. “Ok, now we will talk about taking back some territories in the front line battlefield.”
“The evil kingdom lost 5000 sharp knights and 2 loyal mad knights. We have a great opportunity!” Wizard Hume nodded.
In the front line battlefield, the Central Continent alliance was operating half of the territories, while the Evil knights were controlling the other. Those territories were all filled with resources.
Due to the dimensional crack, many valuable resources had emerged in those territories, which was where the most b.l.o.o.d.y battles were taking place.
The closer they get to the evil kingdom, the more powerful the knights would get. Therefore even after countless years, the alliance could not truly take back those resourceful territories.
However, with 5000 knights and 2 loyal mad knights dead, the Evil kingdom’s power had taken a big hit.
It was a rare opportunity. No matter if they succeed or not, it could definitely give the Evil Kingdom another detrimental blow.
“I Agree!”
“Indeed!”
The wizards began to nod, and this suggestion was slowly becoming a reality.
….
After Lorraine left, Abel immediately announced that he would go into retreat. Although all areas around Bay law City, including the potion maker union, were destroyed, no one would say anything about his retreat.
His accomplishments were too eye-catching in this battle. Even Queen Luisa didn’t know how she should reward him.
Abel did not go into retreat in his main mansion. Instead, he entered the battle fort and ignited the instability mode above the sky.
Since he became a big druid as well as a law-defying wizard, he needed some time to master new spells from these 2 professions.
The elves working for him also began to get busy. Big Druid Poly had invited magic circle maker Alisha. Since it was a mission from Master Bennett, magic circle maker Alisha pushed away all her other requests and began to rea.s.semble the giant teleportation circle for Mater Bennett.
Druid Gunter also found some elf architectures to repair the damage in Abel’s place, and Steward Myer asked 2 experienced elf chefs to sign a magic contract to make sure they keep the rabbit essence recipe a secret.
Those magic contracts were from the Holy Continent, but Abel never had the opportunity to use them in the Central Continent.
Until now, those dishes with rabbit essence were too enticing. Although no one could stand a chance against a master potion maker who was also a big druid, messing with his chefs would be much easier.
Therefore, keeping it secret was necessary, and the magic contract could make sure any soul follows it.
Afterward, Steward Myer handed 2 simple recipe books to the chefs and allowed them to look into it themselves. Abel had no time to teach them. Personally, the most he would do was to make some comments after he was out of his retreat.
Abel teleported to the Dark World, but he did not stay in the Rogue Encampment for long. He needed a normal place. The G.o.d-like feeling he got in the Rogue Encampment could give him illusions about his own power.
Therefore, he arrived at the Pandemonium Fortress and began studying druid skills.
He realized none of the other transformation spells were working on him. Even he could perfectly draw out a werewolf and Bearman transformation spell pattern and ignite it with the natural energy in his druid soul. The spell pattern would soon turn into sparkles of lights and fade away. His form remained the same.
After many attempts, Abel found the reason. His spell patterns were perfect, but when he ignited it with his druid soul, the dragon energy within it immediately destroyed the pattern.
Maybe the arrogant dragons would not allow themselves to transform into low-level beasts. But of course, Abel was not a true giant dragon. He could only rely on the dragon transformation spell to take on a dragon form.
Since he could not even practice the basics of this school, there was no way he could practice the skills and abilities they taught.
He then looked into the elemental spell ‘destruction from heaven and earth’, but he soon put it away and saved it for later if he had time because the power of this spell was a bit of an embarra.s.sment to the t.i.tle of the top-level spell.
The ‘storm’ spell was in a similar category. It created a storm around you to attack enemies at close range.
However, they were not useful to Abel at that moment since it was best for a wizard and druid to stay far away from their enemies as possible.
He could transform into a dragon for close battle, and he would not be able to use spells in his dragon form anyway.
Therefore, the most powerful ability of a big druid to him was the grey bear summon. They could be a powerful s.h.i.+eld against the knights.
Since he had unlimited amounts of potion, he would almost have an indestructible s.h.i.+eld. With Doff as attack and grey bear as a s.h.i.+eld, he would have a perfect combination.
