When Wizard Clemens told everyone about his idea that the totem pole was with Master Bennett, 4 out of 7 law-defying wizards disagreed.
They all knew what a powerful potion maker could do. If Master Bennett found out what they discussed in this meeting and didn’t stand up for him, they couldn’t imagine the outcome.
After all, every single wizard in the meeting thought about asking master Bennett to make a potion for him. Some had even formed a good relationship with Master Bennett already.
The other 2 wizards did not say anything to show their neutral stance.
Wizard Clemens’ face sank. He only speculated, but almost all wizards had rejected it. Things like this had never happened before.
“Everyone, what I mean is even if Master Bennett has the totem pole, he needs a god to help him. The only one who could do so is the goddess of Moon anyway, so let’s just leave things here!” Wizard Clemens signed.
At first, he just wanted to put forward this suggestion in the meeting, hoping they could invite Master Bennett for some information.
But after seeing how the wizards reacted, he immediately regretted it. Maybe he had already offended Master Bennett.
Considering master Bennett had never failed a potion, each time he would end up with a blue potion, he was the best potion maker in the Central Continent.
He also had a special relationship with the elves’ Sainte and was approved by the goddess of Moon. On top of that, he was equaled to the tree of life as well.
His power was scary; anyone who fought alongside him could testify. As soon as he transformed into a dragon, any professional under rank 25 would be dominated by him. Also, with Wizard Frankenstein and Doff the Beamon by his side, his power couldn’t be treated lightly, even for most wizard organizations.
Therefore, many of them, as well as the dwarves, were very good with him.
Most importantly, he was the core supplier of light healing potions and mana potions.
Even the 2 legendary wizards guarding the front line had their eyes on it.
Since Wizard Clemens was sure no new god would appear, he decided to turn a blind eye on Master Bennett–it didn’t matter if it was to do with the goddess of the moon or the tree of life.
Just like that, the meeting had ended before Abel realized the Wizard Union was targeting him.
That day, he noticed something that kept him occupied.
As he was making potions in the morning, he suddenly received the soul of a holy knight from the crystal angel statue between his eyes. The soul of that holy knight was only rank 2.
His name was Ebby, a youngster from the Holy Kingdom. The first knight to receive a blessing from his crystal angel statue.
Ebby already became a rank 2 holy knight, which meant he was quite gifted. How did he die?
The first idea that came to Abel’s mind was if the demon from beyond noticed the difference in Ebby.
He reached his power of the will into the crystal angel statue and gently revived Ebby’s frantically preaching soul.
It did not stop even when Abel made contact with it, almost like it was the only thing it could do.
Soon, Abel got his answer. Ebby was killed by his opponents during his first battle.
He let out a breath of relief. It was just an accident, but even if it was not, at least Ebby was not killed because of him.
At that moment, he realized one thing, all holy knights he blessed would return to him.
He took a big loss this time. He had granted Ebby a rank 18 soul, and now he just ended up with a rank 2 soul.
Also, Ebby was giving out faint gold energy with his praying when he was alive. Now it was just giving out normal gold energy.
“No wonder why the Holy Kingdom didn’t care how many knights they lost in the front line but felt deeply hurt losing them outside of the elves and the Battlecry city. The souls who died outside of the front line would be lost forever!” Abel thought to himself.
He was having such a good time killing knights, but now he felt the pain when he was put in that position.
He had 2000 holy knights in total, and now the seed of a rank 18 knight was lost.
How could he make the other 1999 knights grow faster? There was not much his crystal angel statue could do.
He looked at the soul of Ebby and began to look through the prayers.
He picked out the more humble and loyal ones and replied.
“My follower, I’ve accepted your loyalty. I will now grant you the profession of holy knight in my name!” Abel replied, and the crystal angel statue automatically sent the message through.
He felt a little sorry for this knight by only granting him a rank 2 soul.
Soon, he sensed a mad excitement from the other side. Abel could promise him a smooth ride to rank 2, and he would be by himself from then on.
When things settled, he withdrew his power of the will from the crystal angel statue.
Suddenly, the research spirit’s voice emerged. “Master, Wizard Hal wants to see you!”
“Finally!” Abel smiled.
Last time he promised wizard Hal, if the golden longevity potion was useful, he might consider supplying more to the Lightning Clan.
The Lightning Clan kept quiet all this time, until today.
Abel met up with wizard Hal in the lounge. Beside Wizard Hal was a hooded wizard. From his energy, Abel could tell he was a law-defying wizard as well. However, there was a strong rotten smell on him.
“Master Bennett, this is my teacher Wizard Charlie!” Wizard Hal was acting a little nervous, and Abel could understand why.
“Greetings, Wizard Charlie!” Abel bowed.
“Master Bennett, I just climbed out of my tomb because of your longevity potion!” Wizard Charlie’s voice sounded rusty like it had been a long time since he last used it, but the strange thing was that he didn’t even move his mouth as he spoke.
“WIzard Charlie, you are one of the Wizards in the front line magic tower!” Abel suddenly realized Wizard Charlie’s identity.
“Master Bennett, my teacher just recovered, so speaking is not too convenient for him. He just wants to thank you personally and let you examine it!” Wizard Hal bowed.
“What happened to Wizard Charlie’s body?”
“Since my teacher had prepared a chain of lightning for his final strike with his soul, he used many potions and mysterious methods to maintain a half alive state. At first he just needed to directly ignite his last strike with his soul when the day comes, but your longevity potion revived him. Still, my teacher’s body was stiff, he can only move by flashing and using hunger potions as food” Wizard Hal didn’t look good as he said those words.
Every law-defying wizard who faked their death was extremely powerful. When their lives were coming to an end, they all used a mysterious method to maintain themselves for a final strike.
Since they were not planning to revive anyway, no consideration was put to their body. The only conscious thing was their soul, which was constantly preparing for a final blast through the magic tower.
Wizard Charlie’s soul had regained its autonomy with the golden longevity potion, and his lifespan had increased by 60 years.
Still, the longevity potion couldn’t heal his body. His muscles and bones had almost lost their functions after many years.
Therefore, without a solution, the Lightning Clan could only seek Master Bennett for help.
If they did have a solution, they wouldn’t have bothered Master Bennett again. Master Bennett had already done too many favors for them.
“Wizard Charlie, relax your power of the will guard. I’ll examine it with my power of the will!” Abel said.
“Master Bennett, thank you!” WIzard Charlie retreated his power of the will and said in gratitude.
Abel reached his power of the will into his body and saw a row of joined-up bones and dead muscles. It was almost like he was looking at a lifeless object.
Although Wizard Charlie could suppress all those strange phenomena in his body with his power of will, he would still be helpless once his body fell apart.
“Wizard Hal, Wizard Charlie, I hope you can keep the potion I’m about to use a secret!” Abel hesitated a little and said.
He then took out a dark gold healing potion combined through the Horadric Cube. It came with special effects, so he always wanted to keep them a secret.
Although he was no longer afraid of people threatening him, this dark gold healing potion was not like the light healing potion. The light healing potion was made with methods unheard of from this world, so he was not afraid of people doing research on it.
However, this Dark gold potion was made with the method of this world. It was just that its liquid was tremendously purified through the Horadric Cube.
This way, the power of the potion had reached an unbelievable level. No matter if the injuries were old, new, serious, or unnoticeable, they were healed at once.
Even Abel himself only realized how powerful it was once he created it, so he had to keep it a secret.
Although it was not as crazy as the full recovery potion with the ability to revive an old man his youth, its injuries healing power was about the same.
“I swear with my soul!” Wizard Hal and Wizard Charlie lowered their voices.
Wizard Hal held the healing potion in his hand. He was a little confused. Although a dark gold potion was extremely rare, it was still not something to keep a secret about.
However, he was immediately stunned when he poured the potion into Wizard Charlie’s mouth.
A red flash and a strange crackling sound emerged from Wizard Charlie’s body. The bones below his skin began to tremble frantically.
In less than a minute, Wizard Charlie felt a great relief dawned on his body. He gently moved his stiffened neck and realized he regained his mobility.
Afterward, his arms, legs, and hips followed. Finally, he jumped up in disbelief. He couldn’t believe a single potion had healed him.
At the same time, he felt like his body was washed with the purest water. Every cell was cheering with excitement. Even the injuries leftover from his past battles vanished.
