No matter if it was Prince Adolf, the auctioneer Lord Jude, or the steward of the Grand Ducal Palace, Derek, or even Abel himself, as men, none of them could understand a woman's pursuit of beauty, especially the contrast between Grand Duke Edwina and Master Mara.
The crazy auction had ended. The two hundred and seventy thousand gold coins made the final potion auction even more eye-catching. It also made the elven nobles realize how popular Master Bennett's potion was.
The auction hosted by Prince Adolf ended in the limelight of Angstrom City. Not many elves knew that Master Bennett was there. Abel was worried that if his identity was exposed, he would be surrounded by crazy female elves. Of course, he wouldn't stand out and reveal his identity.
Since Prince Adolf had lost face, he couldn't help Lady Carrie anymore. Therefore, he didn't introduce Abel. It seemed like there was only one Lord Bennett in tonight's banquet. Master Bennett was nowhere to be seen.
"Master Bennett, are you willing to accept Begro City's invitation to become the Head Alchemist of the Grand Ducal Palace? Begro City will provide you with the best place to experiment. As long as you ask for the materials, we will do our best to find them for you. Also, you can state your conditions. Title, gold coins, beauties. As long as you are willing to come to Begro City, we can negotiate!" Prince Adolf said to Abel alone after the banquet ended.
"The prestigious Prince Adolf, I am only a normal alchemist, and I have already been invited to the Grand Ducal Palace in Angstrom City. I cannot accept what you have just said. I am very sorry!" Abel rejected Prince Adolf's proposal without even thinking about it.
"Master Bennett, do you know that you are now in the middle of the competition between Begro City and Angstrom City? This is not something you can bear. Please think about it carefully!" Although Prince Adolf was still smiling, the threat in his voice was very obvious.
Abel began to wonder if he had been too low profile recently. An elf prince dared to threaten him in front of his face. He remembered it was a prince from the Duchy of Carmel. Oh right, there was also a prince from the wolf clan. Maybe he should let them know the consequences of threatening him. He was no longer the person he was when he was in the Duchy of Carmel. Back then, he was burdened by his family, so he didn't dare to be too aggressive.
As he was thinking, a strand of murderous intent emerged from Abel's body. Normally, a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time would have a murderous intent. After a long time, the murderous intent would become murderous intent. Every time a living being was killed, the murderous intent would increase, and the more murderous intent there was, the stronger the murderous intent.
Warriors could dissolve the murderous intent into murderous intent through all kinds of methods. Most of them had gone through a long period of physical training to let the murderous intent become a part of their body. Their body would accept it and turn it into murderous intent, and murderous intent would become the most important part of a warrior's aura.
Abel had become a Knight captain, and he already had the powerful aura of a Knight captain. Normally, he would not show the murderous intent that had been dissolved by the Meditation Jade. However, at this moment, his heart was filled with the desire to fight back, and his murderous intent began to leak out unconsciously.
Abel could not describe how strong his murderous intent was. He had killed countless hell creatures in the Dark World. Even a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time would not be able to kill as many hell creatures as he had killed in a few days.
Although Abel had only let out a strand of murderous intent, it was so strong that it made Prince Adolf's hair stand on end. He quickly stepped back, wanting to get as far away from this scary guy as possible. He was already wondering if this master alchemist was also a part-time assassin. With such a strong murderous intent, he must have killed tens of thousands of people.
Since Prince Adolf had practiced the power of the will secret spell, he was much more sensitive to power of the will than other elves. This made him feel even more threatened. He slapped his body, and a strange shield rose up, blocking Abel's murderous intent.
Abel let out a creepy smile as he looked at Lady Carrie, who was walking towards the two of them, and walked away without looking back. "The prestigious Prince Adolf, you might not know why a master alchemist is so angry. If your actions will harm me, I will let you know if Begro City can stop my anger!"
"Damn it, I will make him pay!" Prince Adolf had completely lost his gentle demeanor as he yelled in exasperation.
Prince Adolf did not expect Master Abel to flip the table just because of his threatening tone. He did not expect Abel to be alone in the elven world without any worries. The constant slaughter in the Dark World and the peaceful life in Angstrom City had made Abel depressed. He was just waiting for a spark to ignite the volcano.
Maybe the conversation just then was just a way to persuade Prince Adolf. He really did not want to fight a master alchemist in Angstrom City, but after being threatened by Abel, he was so angry that he wanted to get rid of this master alchemist as soon as possible.
"Adolf, who do you want to make pay?" Lady Carrie's cold voice emerged from the side.
"Sister Carrie, it's just a small misunderstanding. It's nothing!" Prince Adolf turned back to his usual smile and bowed to Lady Carrie.
"Adolf, if you can let go of this protection shield on your body, it will make more sense!" Lady Carrie said coldly.
Prince Adolf realized he had forgotten to let go of the protection shield he just ignited. A white light was shining on his body, and some of the guests who did not leave were secretly looking at him. Many of them even had a slight smile on their faces.
After the party ended, Prince Adolf did not go to sleep. Instead, he sat in a spacious guest room. In front of him was an elf covered in a black robe.
"Did you get the information on Master Bennett?" Prince Adolf asked with a gloomy face. The elves who knew him knew this was the real Prince Adolf.
"Your Highness, according to your orders, the investigation department in Angstrom City has already organized the information on Master Bennett!" The elf in black replied with a bow.
"Not bad. Tell me, what did you find?" Prince Adolf nodded. He was very satisfied with the investigation department's speed.
"Bennett first appeared at the same time as Lady Lorraine's return. According to the investigation department, it was most likely this Master Bennett was the one who escorted Lady Lorraine back. Therefore, Master Bennett was deeply trusted by the Grand Ducal Palace. The mansion he lived in was also arranged by the Grand Ducal Palace. He has a very good relationship with Master Mara, and Master Mara recommended him for the master alchemist examination." The elf in black said with a bow.
"I know about Lorraine's return, but I didn't expect Bennett to be the one who sent her back. No wonder Grand Duke Edwina was so nice to him, and Lady Carrie was always protecting him. If something happened to him, the Grand Ducal Palace would lose a lot of face." Prince Adolf said softly.
"Your Highness, before Bennett became a master, we wanted to use the dark elves to get rid of him. Luckily, Master Alfred was there at the time, so he was able to escape." The black-clothed elf reported on a previous operation. The intelligence department had the authority to deal with matters independently. This kind of assassination by borrowing someone else's knife was a method they often used to solve problems.
