After Big Druil Lendo yelled, he realized he was being rude. As an elven Druil, he had lost his dignity in front of the masters.
"I'm sorry, masters. I'm just a little surprised to hear this!" He bowed to the Master Pharmacists and continued, "Please don't tell anyone about this!"
Master Muir, Master Balfour, and Master Nolan all nodded. If word got out, the entire New Asia Kingdom would be in chaos.
"Master Bennett, please come with me to see the queen. There are some things I can't decide!" Big Druil Lendo bowed to Abel in a serious manner.
His attitude towards Abel was completely different now. He had accepted Abel as an elf. It was no longer just because of the goddess' approval.
Now, even the tree of life recognized Master Bennett as a soul speaker. He had never heard of anyone from another race becoming a soul speaker. Soul speakers were exclusive to the elves.
"Of course, Big Druil Lendo!" Abel bowed.
As they left the valley, the giant branches and leaves of the tree of life began to vibrate as if they were sending Abel off.
Only Abel could feel the reluctance of the tree of life. It didn't want to let go of someone who could communicate with it.
Abel had no choice but to ignite his soul speaker ability again and send a message to the tree of life to say goodbye.
Big Druil Lendo's eye twitched a little when he saw this. He was using his soul speaker ability from a distance. This meant that Abel's soul speaker ability was more powerful than any soul speaker he had ever heard of.
When they arrived at the valley again, Abel sensed the gratitude of the two big Druil guarding this place. Although they didn't show up, they were expressing their gratitude to Abel.
They returned to the palace through the teleportation circle. The 3 masters bowed to Abel and left the palace under the guidance of Steward Hardy.
On the other hand, Abel followed Big Druil Lendo to the side palace.
However, Queen Luisa wasn't there yet. In the side hall, an elven maid served some fruit juice.
"Master Bennett, please wait a moment. I'll go get the queen!" Big Druil Lendo bowed to Abel.
"Please!" Abel bowed back and watched Big Druil Lendo disappear. He then sat down and waited for Queen Luisa to arrive.
On the other side, Big Druil Lendo used his big druil badge to teleport to an exquisite building. Compared to the importance of the tree of life, this amount of energy was nothing.
"Mr. Lendo, please come in!" Empress Luisa's voice came from the building. This was where the Empress studied and trained.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" Big Druid Lendo walked into the building and bowed to Queen Luisa, who was sitting on a chair.
"Mr. Lendo, please have a seat!" Queen Luisa waved her hand.
"Your Majesty, I'm here for the tree of life!" Big Druil Lendo did not sit down. He lowered his voice.
"You found the reason?" Queen Luisa quickly stood up and asked.
She had not had a good rest for a few days because of the tree of life. She had been contacting all kinds of elves and hired many Druil masters, but there was no result.
"Master Bennett has found the reason! The tree of life sensed danger, and that's why it had those problems! "Big Druil Lendo lowered his voice.
"How could there be danger? Where is the danger coming from?" Queen Luisa asked. Her beautiful face was filled with shock.
"Master Bennett is waiting for you in the side palace. He has the ability of a soul speaker and can communicate with the tree of life, so the elves should pay more attention to him!" Big Druil Lendo continued.
Queen Luisa knew what he was talking about. Abel was very easy to talk to. He gave her the lite healing potion as soon as he asked for it. After giving her a mansion, he never mentioned the Harmon family's compensation.
The royal family had received too many benefits from the Harmon family, but they never gave Abel the compensation he deserved. Of course, the most important reason was that the end of the year was approaching, and the royal family was too busy to care about this.
But no matter what, if Abel had any ideas about this, the elves would suffer a huge loss with the power Abel had shown.
Master Bennett did not grow up in the New Asia Kingdom. He was not an elf from the Central Continent, so he did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Central Continent.
"Mr. Lendo, it's my fault. I will immediately pay more attention to Master Bennett!" Queen Luisa also realized the gains and losses, so she bowed.
She was only the queen of the New Asia Empire. She existed to manage the New Asia Empire. Although her identity was very noble, there was still a gap between her and the real leader of the elves. The real leader of the elves was in the temple.
All the affairs of the New Asia Empire, including rewards and other aspects, were handled by Queen Luisa. If there were any problems in this regard, she wouldn't be able to explain it to the Temple.
This was why Big Druil Lendo came to talk to Queen Luisa about this. He had seen how magical Abel was. If he lost his mind, it would be a huge loss to the elves.
"Master Bennett, sorry to keep you waiting!" Queen Luisa smiled and bowed.
"Your Majesty!" Abel stood up and bowed.
"Master Bennett, thank you for your contribution to the New Asia Kingdom. You have saved the tree of life, which is a big deal for the elves. On top of that, the Harmon family's wealth has been calculated, so I am representing the New Asia Kingdom to grant you the title of Marquis!" Queen Luisa smiled and said.
"Thank you, your Majesty!" Abel was caught off guard. He was a little surprised by the sudden title.
"Since you have discovered the arrival of a great danger, the knighthood ceremony will not be held. The knighthood insignia and the certificate will be sent to your mansion soon!" Queen Luisa continued.
Queen Luisa knew Abel was a master potion maker, so he would not accept a public vow of loyalty, so she skipped the ceremony.
The title of Marquis was more like an honor. Even if he had the title of Marquis, no one would call him Marquis Bennett. They would still call him Master Bennett.
Just like how Abel was a rank 18 Druil on the surface, which was high enough, but he was also a master potion maker. Therefore, everyone still called him Master Bennett.
"Master Bennett, the compensation from the Harmon family has been calculated. Please let your steward talk to Steward Hardy!" Queen Luisa didn't say much about the compensation. As a person of such high status, it would be very rude to talk about the rewards.
"Thank you, your Majesty!" Abel bowed again.
"Please go see the tree of life more often and communicate with it. I have given you permission to go to the valley of life directly!" Queen Luisa saw Abel's expression. She knew he was not interested in wealth, but since he had expressed his goodwill, she asked again.
"It's what I should do!" Abel replied.
Actually, Abel didn't really care about rewards. He already had a big kingdom. The most powerful kingdom in the Holy Continent was his. Power was nothing to him.
As for wealth, he had the Hradik cube. He could synthesize countless top-level gems at any time. No organization or kingdom in the Central Continent could compete with his wealth.
Think about it. He knew the stone giants could quickly mine gems, but he never thought about doing so. You could tell he didn't care about wealth.
All he needed was a stable environment for him to grow as quickly as possible. He needed to grow until he could protect himself. He would no longer be targeted if he took out a treasure or a summon creature.
Queen Luisa did not tell him how to find the danger. It had nothing to do with a master potion maker. After all, he was not a battle elf.
After Abel left the palace and returned to the potion maker union, he did not stay for long this time. Instead, he returned to his mansion with his 2 followers.
"Master, Steward Hardy from the palace has sent the Marquis title certificate and badge. Also, there are 4 shops in Bay Law City, 2 manors outside the city, and a castle!" Steward Meyer bowed and reported to Abel.
"Ok, go talk to the managers of the 4 shops, 2 manors, and the castle. Tell them to do their jobs!" Abel did not care about this and said casually.
Abel was not interested in the wealth of the nobles. His new mansion was almost finished. He didn't even need to come to his mansion in the city.
The new mansion was to the north of the potion maker union. A large elf-style building was built on a large piece of land. Since the potion maker union was building a mansion for a master potion maker, they used the best architects from the elven race.
Abel also made some improvements based on his request. These improvements were not paid for by the potion maker union. Instead, he paid for them himself.
Now, all he needed to do was wait for the mansion to be finished. Steward Meyer was hired by the palace, so there was no need to talk about his ability. Abel did not have any secrets that he was afraid of, so he would just use him whenever he liked.
"Yes, master!" Steward Meyer bowed. It was his first time seeing such an important reward treated so casually, but his professional training made him look calm on the surface.
"Poly, Gunter, come with me!" Abel turned around and said to his followers, who were about to do their own things.
In the living room, Abel looked at his 2 followers and thought about how to organize his words. Although he promised not to tell anyone about the danger, were his followers really outsiders?
"Poly, Gunter, this is another type of healing potion. Keep it well. Don't show it in front of any elves. It's for saving your lives!" Abel took out 10 bottles of the "power potion" and gave them to his followers to distribute.
"Master Bennett, did something happen?" Druid Poly quickly asked after seeing the serious look on Abel's face.
"I don't know what happened exactly, but don't go too far from the royal city. Especially Gunter, you need to be careful!" Abel shook his head and lowered his voice.
The Druil Gunter had been accepted as an official follower by Abel. Since he had to take care of some things for him, he had to run around a lot.
"Yes, Master Bennett!" The Druil quickly bowed.
"I don't know where the danger came from, and I won't tell you where it came from. Only the elves know about it. Don't tell anyone!" Abel looked at his 2 followers and reminded.
The 2 followers took the 'power potion,' but they were not happy about it. Instead, they were confused and worried.
Although they wouldn't say much, they would arrange for their families to do something to deal with the unknown danger.
Abel walked into his training room. Other than setting up a protection circle and a seclusion circle, he also let out Doff and let it guard the training room in the yard.
With his soul connection with Doff, he would be able to sense Doff's warning as soon as the mansion was in danger.
Although they were separated by a world and the message couldn't be transmitted too clearly, a warning message could still be received.
With Doff as a guard, he would be able to enter the Dark World safely. He wouldn't find himself in danger when he came out of the Dark World.
He trusted the tree of life's senses. He had a tree of life in Rogge's camp. Although they were of different species, their energy was the same.
The tree of life in the Rogue's Encampment had saved him from danger many times. Although it could not move, it was as scary as a god. Therefore, he had always regarded the tree of life as his biggest protection in the Dark World.
Of course, he had to take the tree of life seriously. He just didn't know where the danger was coming from. The only thing he could do now was to increase his power.
Fighting in the Dark World was the fastest way for him to increase his power. He could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the third level of the Prison of Hatred. It was where the most powerful hell creature in the Kurast Harbor, Mephisto, resided.
