“Ok Poly, help me contact circle maker Alisha. There is a giant teleportation circle under Bali castle. I want her to disassemble it and reinstall it under my main palace!” Abel said.
Even though no elf would be in Bali Castle, it was still better to be safe and take the giant teleportation circle as soon as possible. That was a priceless treasure, after all.
“Gunter, check over the damages and organize some people to repair them!” Abel turned and said.
Druid Gunter bowed and left. The damage was bad. In the past, he could just leave his courtyards outside the city unchecked, but after the invasion, he needed to get them repaired.
Lorraine stepped into the lounge and sat beside Abel while gently holding a glass of juice.
“Lorraine, have you been busy in the temple?” Abel knew Lorraine’s condition, and he cared about her.
“Brother Abel, I have to learn manners, history, ceremonies, biology, geography, and Sainte training. I barely have any time to rest in a day!” She listed her dreaded tasks.
Abel smiled as Lorraine continued with the nitty-gritty of her life in the temple. She had 5 teachers, and they were some of the most knowledgeable elves.
“Abel, I miss father, mother, and sister!” Lorraine then softened her voice, and her eyes grew red.
Abel knew there was no one Lorraine could chat heart to heart within the temple, so he patted her head and comforted her.
“Lorraine, let’s head back to the Holy Continent after your Sainte ceremony!” He smiled.
“Really?” Lorraine’s eyes began to sparkle as she lifted her head.
“Of course!” Abel smiled and nodded.
“But I still have 14 years!” She countered her fingers and lowered her voice again.
“Lorraine, I’ll install a giant teleportation circle underground here. I’ll give you unlimited permission. So whenever you are bored, you can call me or directly teleport here to hang out!” Abel continued to smile.
As Abel quietly chatted with Lorraine, some big druid’s energy emerged. The big druids from the temple had arrived.
Abel divided the main building into 2 parts, one for Lorraine and the big druids. Since Big Druids could stay awake for days, half of them guarded Lorraine’s door while the other half rested.
Abel couldn’t help but wonder, were they actually trying to keep him out?
However, he didn’t know that until Lorraine came of age, him getting together with her was not even possible since the druids needed to ensure the purity of her soul.
Of course, he never thought of himself as a drag to Lorraine’s Sainte identity. Although Lorraine had been going on about how hard life in the temple was, he could still tell that she felt very honored from her eyes.
Since there were so many druids around and he already battled for the day, he did not enter the Dark World. Instead, he enjoyed a rare night of sleep.
The sun beamed upon the damaged buildings, and Abel stepped out of bed. It was a good opportunity to make something for himself and Lorraine to eat.
Of course, he needed to take care of those big druids as well. After all, Lorraine still had more than 10 years in the temple before becoming an official Sainte. He needed the care of those druids.
When Lorraine and the big druids arrived at the dining room, an alluring smell emerged.
“Abel, did you make that?” Lorraine sniffed. Her eyes sparkled as she saw Abel waiting for them.
It was a familiar smell. When he was locked up with the elves in the Holy Continent, she could still enjoy the food Abel sent through the teleportation circle every day.
Those meals were an extreme luxury for the Holy Continent wizards, but it was everyday food to her.
Ever since she came to the Central Continent, her luxury had ended.
Big Druid Lucia turned to Abel and saw him nod. She couldn’t help but admire the love he had for Lorraine. Even a normal male elf would not cook in this world, let alone a Master Potion maker druid.
“Abel, I’ll dig in!” Lorraine saw the elves had taken their seat, so she smiled and said.
If her manner teacher was here, she would definitely make her learn everything all over again.
But the big druids did not care about Lorraine’s manners. They were all strangely attracted by those foods. Its aroma was so enticing. They almost drooled out of their mouth.
Elves didn’t eat meat, so everything was vegetarian with eggs and vegetables as main dishes, of course, the rabbit essence.
“Lorraine, enjoy. If you like it, I can teach my chef to make it and send them your way every day!” Abel couldn’t help but smile, looking at the satisfying look on Lorraine’s face.
“Wouldn’t that be a bother?” A yearning look flashed on her face, but at the same time, she didn’t want to bother Abel too much.
“Not at all. It will just take some time for the chefs to learn!” Abel smiled.
Only Abel and Lorraine, who were used to the food, could eat and chat so casually. Big druid Lucia and the other 9 big druids were fully submerged in the taste at that moment.
It was no wonder why those 2 elite wizards from the Blizzards had invaded Abel back in the days for this recipe.
It was unlike any food in this world. On top of a super condiment such as the Horadric cube combined rabbit essence, no one could resist its temptation.
“Master Bennett, I heard that your potion-making skills are number one in the Central Continent, but your cooking skills are definitely number one as well. I have to pay you respect!” Big Druid Lucia was the first one to finish, and she regained herself from the enjoyment. She let out a big breath and smiled.
“It’s just a little trick!” Abel said humbly.
“Master Bennett, we have to be on our way today. The site has a tight schedule every day, and she had to join the ceremony of the temple!” she said to Abel. She found herself seeing a slightly depressed look on Lorraine’s face.
Abel Also knew goodbyes were inevitable. As an apprentice Sainte, Lorraine did not have the say of an official Sainte.
“Big Druid Lucia, wait for a moment. I have something to tell Lorraine in private!” Abel said and turned to Lorraine, “Let’s head out!”
The big druids exchanged looks and stayed.
Abel and Lorraine arrived at the courtyard and took a seat on an undamaged rock.
“Lorraine, how’s the lotion and conditioner you’ve brought with you from the Holy Continent?” Abel smiled as he looked at the slightly depressed Lorraine.
“I still have a few bottles!” She reached into her portal bag and showed Abel.
With one look, Abel immediately knew those bottles were the ones he sent Lorraine when she first went into retreat.
Those were the ones with the Dark World potion bottle. He didn’t expect Lorraine to keep them untouched throughout all these years.
“Lorraine, I’ll send you some more from time to time. I can make those, so you should use them generously!” Abel was a little touched by Lorraine’s loyalty.
“Ah, actually, I’ve already used up all the ones I brought with me from the Holy Continent, but I just don’t want to use these yet!” Lorraine smiled.
“Lorraine, I’ll give you some lifesaver potions, but it’s best not to show it to others!” Abel then took out 5 antidote and 20 strength potions and put them on the stone table.
Although it was not a lot, they were all the best of the best from the Dark World. With the rate Lorraine had used her potion, they were definitely enough for her.
“I’ll make sure to keep them a secret!” Lorraine nodded and put away the potions.
“Right, also be nice to the elves in the temple. You are a Sainte, but just be mindful!” Abel was still a little worried.
“Haha, everyone in the temple loves me!” Lorraine said in a slightly arrogant tone.
“Also, here’s 200 light healing potions. You don’t have to keep it a secret, so you can give it out to people if you want!” Abel then took out a portal bag of potions. 200 bottles were not much to him.
Lorraine held the bag with a smile. Her heart was filled with joy, looking at how much Abel cared about her.
“Oh, one last thing. I’ll give White Snow to you. It was my flying beast. It can protect you!” Abel was still worried for Lorraine’s safety. Although she could accept the grace of the goddess, her own fighting ability was basically zero.
White Snow was the pinnacle of high-level spirit beasts, and it could become a top-level spiritual beast any time. Also, it could fly, and with the special curse and damage increase enchantment, it could be one of the most powerful creatures in the sky.
Even if it couldn’t win, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.
“But that’s a part of your powers. What would you do if you gave it to me? Just keep it,” Lorraine rejected and shook her head.
Beasts were not potions. The potions were all made by Abel, so it would only take him a little time to replenish them, but getting another beast was hard.
Getting a beast was not just a matter of power. Most of them needed to be domesticated since birth, and getting a full-grown beast to submit to you was so rare it was almost hopeless.
As an elf, Lorraine definitely knew about this, so she didn’t want to affect Abel’s power.
“Lorraine, I’m a big druid now, and I can turn into a dragon. Also, I have other flying beasts beside White Snow!” Abel smiled.
He then summoned White Snow, and it flew out with its majesty white feather. Lorraine was immediately attracted.
Abel had given White Snow to Lorraine because he wanted her to be safe, but it was also because White Snow’s power could no longer match his.
All his other beasts, Johnson, Jason, and Doff, were all more powerful. They were his true shield. Not to mention Flying Flame with its scary speed. He was at the core of his powers.
He couldn’t give her White Cloud either because it could carry all his things.
Black Wind, it was his knight partner. Although knight skills were forbidden due to the situation in the Central Continent, it still battled alongside Abel in the Dark World.
Since Abel’s control of the soul was so much stronger, he directly transferred the contract he had with White Snow to Lorraine.
“Abel, I will definitely take good care of White Snow” Lorraine felt her bond with White Snow and immediately lifted her from the loneliness she felt.
When the big druids stepped out of the dining room and arrived at the courtyard, they sensed a snow eagle energy coming from Lorraine and an extra portal bag on her waist. They couldn’t help it admire Abel’s willingness.
Although they didn’t know what was inside the portal bag, they could guess they were expensive potions.
What shocked them the most was the snow eagle. They were some of the hardest flying beasts to find, and all high-level ones were extremely hard to domesticate with their arrogance.
Abel had directly transferred an almost top-level flying beast to Lorraine. His love almost made those big druids’ jaw drop.
Abel walked along with Lorraine, and they arrived at the teleportation back to the royal palace. As Lorraine stepped on, she held down her tears and turned.
