Abel didn't want Grand Duke Edwina to help him kill Prince Adolf. With Prince Adolf's status, it wasn't realistic to kill him, but at least he had to tell him where the danger came from.
Perhaps in Grand Duke Edwina's eyes, he was Lorraine's boyfriend. He was just an alchemist with a special status in the Grand Ducal Palace. As long as he was given some respect and some benefits, he would be able to stay in the elves and work for the Grand Ducal Palace.
"Thank Grand Duke Edwina for me. Also, you can tell Lady Carrie to finish the deal between me and her as soon as possible!" Abel's tone was very calm. He didn't say anything to the 28 heads that Steward Derek had sent over. His tone had changed from "you" to "you".
Perhaps helping Lady Carrie make the "beauty potion" was the last thing Abel could do to repay the care the Grand Ducal Palace had given him. As long as Prince Adolf was still alive, Abel's safety in the elven world would not be guaranteed.
Although it seemed like Abel had easily taken care of the 8 masters who had captured him, if the blood flame Druil had a chance, the outcome would be completely different. Abel didn't dare to underestimate the elven Druil, especially this kind of Druil with a special status. The trump cards they had were too scary.
Abel didn't want to bet his life on Grand Duke Edwina and Grand Duke Francisco. After Abel killed Grand Duke Francisco's disciple, Grand Duke Edwina wouldn't retaliate, and Prince Adolf wouldn't retaliate against him either.
As a matter of fact, he had already decided to leave the elves as soon as he found out about Blood Flame's identity before Derek delivered the 28 heads to him.
Originally, Abel could just leave, but he wasn't someone who could tolerate being attacked. Also, he really needed the "beauty potion," so he was looking for a suitable opportunity.
Derek noticed that Abel's tone had changed once again, revealing a sense of alienation within the politeness. For a moment, he didn't know what had gone wrong for Abel to have such a reaction.
At the same time, Prince Adolf received the news that the eight powerful warriors he sent out had all been annihilated. This news was sent to him by the mayor of Begro City, his father, Grand Duke Francesco, through the communication circle. What followed was a deep disappointment at what Prince Adolf had done.
Grand Duke Francesco did not blame Prince Adolf for attacking Master Bennett. With his position, he could destroy anything in his way, let alone a Master Alchemist.
What disappointed him the most was Prince Adolf's way of dealing with this matter. Prince Adolf could have spent gold coins to hire assassins, or he could have gotten someone else to do the dirty work for him. However, the most important thing was that Prince Adolf let his subordinates do the dirty work in another faction's territory.
In the end, Grand Duke Francesco asked Prince Adolf to come back as soon as possible. After what happened, staying in Angstrom City would only worsen the conflict. His original mission was no longer important, and the relationship between the two cities became even more tense.
"Your Highness, Mr. Bernie from the Goff family of the dwarfs wants to see you!" The prince's steward came in and reported.
"The Goff family!" Prince Adolf murmured.
The dwarfs were different from the elves and humans. They did not have any conflicts with each other. For example, the Goff family specialized in trade. All the weapons and equipment made by the dwarfs were sold by the Goff family. Also, all the materials and daily necessities of the dwarfs were bought by the Goff family.
Therefore, the Goff family was the financial family of the dwarfs. They were also the only family that did business with the outside world. Since the dwarfs' hobby was forging, very few dwarfs liked trading. Only the Goff family insisted on trading with the outside world for the survival of the dwarfs. Therefore, they had a very high status among the dwarfs.
"Quick, let him in!" Prince Adolf said excitedly as he thought about the Goff family. However, he quickly changed his words, "Wait, I should greet him personally!"
"Young leader Bernie, welcome, please come in!" Prince Adolf bowed at the door and said.
"Prince Adolf, I heard you were in Angstrom City, so I came to visit you!" Bernie bowed back and said as he walked in.
After taking their seats in the guest hall, Prince Adolphus asked, "May I know why young patriarch Bernie is here?"
"It's like this. I have discussed with Angstrom City about a batch of Golden Jade wood. However, Angstrom City does not have enough Golden Jade wood, so they need some time to transport it from other places. I heard Prince Adolf was in the city, so I came to ask if Begro City could provide 10,000 cubic meters of Golden Jade wood!" Bernie said straightforwardly.
Prince Adolf heard Bernie wanted 10,000 cubic meters of Golden Jade wood. Golden Jade wood was the best wood to make sword scabbards, and it could only be found in the Double Moon forest. Begro City had spent a lot of manpower to develop a batch of Golden Jade wood in recent years, but the sales were not good. Therefore, Prince Adolf was very happy when he heard Bernie's words.
He had just lost face in front of his father, Grand Duke Francesco. If he could make a deal that would benefit Begro City, it would be a way to make up for it.
"Young Master Bernie, we have an agreement with Begro City to provide you with enough Golden Jade Wood!" Prince Adolf said with a smile.
"That's great! I'll be going back to my clan soon. Steward Luke will be in charge of this matter. I'll have him rush over from the clan to discuss this matter with you. I'll come over in a few days to sign this deal with you!" Bernie said happily.
Although this kind of deal involved a lot of money, Bernie and Prince Adolf wouldn't directly discuss the details with each other. Instead, they would leave it to the stewards to discuss. Only when the final result was out, would the two of them sign the agreement together. Directly participating in the negotiation would cause them to lose their dignity as nobles.
"Ok, I will wait here with the best wine for you to sign the contract!" Prince Adolf said with a big laugh.
Everything seemed to be going well. After Prince Adolf sent Bernie off, he changed his schedule. He wanted to stay in Angstrom City for a while and finish the deal before leaving.
At that moment, Abel did not enter the Dark World. He felt like the big circle of Angstrom City was trying to locate him. If his Knight head intuition did not mutate and become very sensitive, he would not be able to sense it.
This kind of location came from the magic circle control card in his portal bag. Although it was blocked by the portal bag, the magic circle control card could still send his location to the big circle. He didn't know this before he opened this function, but it seemed like this magic circle control card was not a good thing.
It seemed like the Grand Ducal Palace was still worried that he would do something irrational and go find trouble with Prince Adolf. It seemed like the Grand Ducal Palace had underestimated him.
One day later, 10 miles away from Angstrom City, Abel was riding Black Wind behind Lady Carrie. Lady Carrie was riding a mad wolf, which was also very fast. In a real sense, a mad wolf was more powerful and faster than a mount wolf. Of course, it was still not comparable to Black Wind.
The reason why the Mad Wolf couldn't be considered a mount in the truest sense was because other than the owner, no one else could sit on its back. The Mad Wolf in its name didn't only refer to its madness in battle, but also its personality.
The 4 elven countesses behind him were all members of Roland's team. Countess Muriel, Countess Morrie, Countess Jenny, and Countess Marian were also riding mad wolves. However, since the 4 elven countesses were able to ride mad wolves as beginner druids, it meant that each of them had a piece of equipment that could summon mad wolves.
Abel couldn't help but sigh at how luxurious Team Roland's equipment was. He also had a piece of equipment with a higher level spell, but that was for a novice wizard to use a beginner wizard's spell.
