Chapter 923: Military Resource
Time slowly passed, and December rolled around. Abel was starting to enjoy this stable lifestyle without adventure and worries. Every day he just needed to work a bit, and he would have enough resources.
He was very happy with his training, speed. With the current rate, he might become a rank 19 wizard in a year.
He was 19 years old, so he might even become rank 19 before 20 years old.
However, there was one thing he didn’t know. The name Master Bennett had become famous amongst the wizards in the Central Continent.
There were only 4 master potion makers in the Central Continent, and every wizard would ask them for favors as soon as they gathered 5 portions of ingredients for a master potion.
Therefore, master potion makers were some of the most prestigious figures. No one would mess with them.
Especially this new master potion maker, the strength of his healing potion was so scary it stunned every elite wizard who used them.
Slowly, the lite healing potion’s infamy reached back to Bay Law City.
That morning, Abel was getting ready to return to the potion maker union, but the Royal’s Steward Hardy came for a visit.
“Master Bennett, the queen, wants to say something to you in the palace!” he bowed and said.
“Poly, Gunter, you head to the union first. I’ll go to the palace and catch up with you!” Abel turned and said to his followers.
Abel had been very good with his followers during these times, and their relationship had grown close, so he began calling by names.
“Master Bennett, I will wait outside the palace!” Druid Poly said in certainty.
All she wanted was to protect Abel, so she wouldn’t risk any opportunity of him running into danger.
Abel was her ray of hope when it came to her level up to a big druid. Those golden natural breathing potions were more magical than the legends. She could feel her body slowly changing, and her potential was slowly improving.
At first, she couldn’t believe it, but she knew she was not dreaming after talking to Druid Gunter. Druid Gunter had also used the golden potion, and the same thing was happening to him.
Although Abel did not combine the natural breathing potion with his Horadric cube, he had combined the spring water used to make the potion.
Don’t underestimate the spring water. Anything combined through the Horadric cube could bring some special effect.
However, this does not apply to the things from the Dark World, as they would only combine according to the law of the Dark World.
For example, the wine he combined in the Holy Continent had become the main ingredient to Wizard Dunn’s level up, and the Grandmaster Wine had become the dwarf wizard’s main training resources.
This was also why Abel didn’t want to make the golden natural breathing potion public. He had decided he would officially sign a druid follower contract with Druid Gunter after a month.
The flying carriage landed on the palace gate, and Abel entered as his followers waited outside.
Under Steward Hardy, Abel stepped into the main palace, the private guest lounge of the queen.
“Master Bennett, please excuse me for not noticing you earlier!” Queen Luisa bowed and smiled.
At that moment, she almost looked like a teenage girl. Her skin was smooth like water, her eyes sparkled purely, and her hair was thick and luscious.
Abel knew the queen not only used the beauty potion, but large amounts of conditioner and lotion to achieve this effect.
“Your Majesty, what brings me here today?” Abel bowed.
“Master Bennett, are you living comfortably in your palace?” Queen Luisa smiled again.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I am living very comfortably. I am very happy with the place!” Abel didn’t catch the queen’s intention, so he replied.
“Is the flying carriage good?” Queen Luisa asked again.
“Your Majesty, the flying carriage is very good as well. It saved me a lot of time!” Abel still didn’t know what the queen was trying to say.
“Master Bennett, I heard you developed a new healing potion, and its power was scary. Can I have a look?” Queen Luisa continued to smile.
Abel finally understood. The fame of the lite healing potion had reached the palace.
He was not planning to exchange those potions with the elves because they didn’t have the training resources he wanted, the light gems.
This was also why he never even touched the potion maker union’s exchange system. He had more than enough resources.
However, he couldn’t reject the queen. He was still planning to live in the New Asia Kingdom for some time. He had to form a good relationship with the queen.
“Yes, Your Majesty, this is the lite healing potion. These 3 bottles are for you!” Abel took out 3 bottles and handed them to a guard nearby.
The guard carried the potions to the queen, and she held it with her hands.
“Master Bennett, thank you for your gift!” Queen Luisa smiled and waved. Suggesting Abel could leave now.
Abel bowed. He left the palace and met up with his followers back to the potion maker union on the flying carriage.
Because of this delay, hundreds of wizards waiting to fight for a lite healing potion on the listing system waited for nothing.
The fight for a lite healing potion was scary. At its current level, only rank 19 and rank 20 wizards were qualified to get one. Any lower rank wizard’s power of the will would not be fast enough.
This was why the queen had personally invited Abel to come to the palace. She already sent some elite druids to monitor the wizard union listings, but they had no luck even after a few days.
Although the queen did not mention paying Abel light gems when she asked for the potions, there was no way she would just take from Abel like that.
After Abel had taken off from the palace, the Queen waved at Steward Hardy and said, “Help me invite potion maker Gilpin here!”
Soon, a middle-aged male elf walked in. He was Potion Maker Gilpin. An advanced level potion maker cultivated by the royal palace. He was the pinnacle of his rank, but he still did not have the confidence to become a master.
“Majesty, are you looking for me?” Potion maker Gilpin bowed.
“Here’s 3 potions. Take a look!” Queen Luisa placed the potion Abel just gave her on potion maker Gilpin’s hand.
“Majesty, please wait!” Potion maker Gilpin was very confident in his skills. Although he could not make a master potion, he was at par with the masters when making normal potions.
He twisted open a lite healing potion and gave it a sniff. A strange look emerged on his face. He ignited his inherited analysis skill, and a green light flew towards the potion.
However, a surprising thing happened. The analysis came out with no results. It was almost like what he was holding was not a potion but some natural substance.
If it was a potion, the analysis would definitely tell him what substance the potion was made out of.
“Majesty, are you sure this is a potion?” Potion maker Gilpin asked in uncertainty.
“Of course, it is a healing potion recognized by many wizards !” Queen Luisa frowned. She then followed, “Is there a problem?”
“Majesty, I’ll try again!” Potion maker Gilpin was not certain, so he quickly bowed.
He took out a blade from his portal bag and made a slash on his forearm. Blood gushed out, but he didn’t care. Instead, he directly poured the potion into his mouth.
He was stunned once again. His wounds began to heal in just a few seconds. Finally, it vanished.
“Impossible!” Potion Maker Gilpin couldn’t make sense of what was happening. All of a sudden, the potion challenged his entire worldview.
“Majesty, can you tell me who made this potion?” He turned and asked again.
“I got it from master Bennett. It is his new product!” Queen Luisa replied, seeing the confused look on Potion Maker Gilpin’s face.
“Is a master really that much more powerful than me?” Potion Maker Gilpin began to doubt himself as he laughed wryly.
“Potion maker Gilpin, can you test out the strength of the potion?” Queen Luisa interrupted.
“Majesty, I need a beast to do so!” Potion maker Gilpin quickly settled his emotions and asked.
“Steward Hardy, tell the guards to bring on a beast!” Queen Luisa commanded.
After a few minutes, a deer was led into the palace. It was the ones living in the garden, so it was the easiest beast they could find. Bad luck to the deer.
Potion maker Gilpin pressed the deer on the ground and heavily stabbed its heart with his blade.
The deer struggled, but soon its movement began to slow. It gently twitched on the ground. It would die in mere seconds.
Potion maker Gilpin calmly twisted open the second bottle of lite healing potion and poured it into the deer’s mouth. Almost instantly, the dying deer regained its energy and began to struggle again.
Although the deer still looked very weak, it was not surprising considering how much blood is lost.
“Majesty, I think I know the power of this potion now!” Potion maker Gilpin turned his gaze from the deer and bowed.
“Speak!” Queen Luisa lowered her voice.
“The lite healing potion had a similar effect with the Master’s natural life potion. Although the lite healing potion had a faster recovery speed, it is not as long-lasting!” Potion maker Gilpin bowed.
“So you are saying the light healing potion is master grade as well?” Queen Luisa asked.
“Your Majesty, I can’t be certain, but if I have to choose between a lite healing potion and a natural life potion, I would have to go with the lite healing potion!” Potion maker Gilpin shook his head and laughed wryly.
The upside of the lite healing potion was too clear. If someone was badly injured in a fight, the Lite healing potion’s speed would be a lot more useful.
“Master Bennett is asking for an intermediate light gem for each bottle of lite healing potion in the wizard union listing system!” Queen Luisa added.
Potion maker Gilpin had his eyes wide open. “Your Majesty, if a potion like this can be obtained with that price. I am confident that we will no longer have to make any natural life potion in the future. I believe even the most serious injuries can be healed with 2 or 3 bottles of lite healing potion at most. That price is far below the water of life it would take for us to make a natural life potion!” He said with another bow.
The water of life was the elves’ treasure. It was extremely limited. If they saved some from potion making, it would be great news for the elves.
