Today was the day of Master Bennett's promotion ceremony. The entire Bay Law City was different from before. Although they had just gone through the baptism of war, the elves were still looking forward to beauty.
The elves of Bay Law City did everything they could to decorate the city. They wanted to use this beautiful city to welcome the powerful figures who came to participate in the ceremony and celebrate the victory of the war.
At 9 am, a pure white flying carriage landed on the square of the palace. Steward Hardy quickly stepped up and opened the door for Abel.
Today, Abel was wearing a silver-white ceremonial robe. The robe was embroidered with light colored patterns, making it look noble and refined. On his head, there was a special elven headdress. It was a tree branch headdress made with silver threads.
When he got down from the carriage, the palace guards who were standing guard in the square all knelt down on one knee and saluted him.
"Master Bennett, her majesty is waiting for you in the palace. Her majesty asked me to express her apologies for not being able to greet you in person due to the many important guests!" Steward Hardy bowed.
"Steward Hardy, you are too polite!" Abel smiled. He knew Queen Luisa would be very busy today. Just by looking at the guests she invited, he knew they wouldn't show up easily.
He just didn't know how many powerful figures would come this time. This was related to the face of the elves. It would be too embarrassing if too few people came.
Frankenstein didn't jump out of the car. Instead, he flashed to Abel's back.
Seeing this, Steward Hardy's pupils shrank a little. This was definitely not an elf. There had never been an elf with a wizard profession.
Next, Abel's 2 followers, Poly Druil and Gunter Druil, stepped down from the flying carriage. However, their faces were not looking good. Abel's power was giving them too much pressure.
"The prestigious potion maker, Marquis Bennett of the Dragon Druil is here!" As soon as Abel stepped out of the palace, Steward Hardy yelled.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw at least 15 law-defying wizards and a total of 11 big druids in the hall.
This made him very surprised. One had to know that he had come early, and the official promotion ceremony would only be held at 11 o 'clock. Therefore, there were already so many strong people here, which meant that there would be a lot of strong people coming this time.
The 11 big Druil were all the big Druil in the city, so it was not strange for them to be here. Wizard Hal and Wizard Merton from the Lightning clan were also here. Wizard Dunstan from the Lake of Fire and Ice, Wizard Hume from the Wizard Union, and some other law-defying wizards he didn't know.
"Master Bennett!" Everyone bowed and greeted him, "Master Bennett!"
"I'm sorry, I'm late!" Abel bowed back and said.
"The prestigious Master Bennett, I was going to visit you 2 days ago, but I heard you were in retreat, so I didn't want to disturb you!" Wizard Hume walked up to Abel and smiled.
"Wizard Hume, I just leveled up not long ago. I need some time to stabilize!" Abel smiled and explained.
"Of course, I just didn't expect you to be a rank 18 Druil the last time I saw you. It's only been a few days, and you're already a big Druil. I'm so jealous of your speed!" Wizard Hume sighed.
All the experts present agreed with his words. One had to know that there were too many dangers involved in advancing from Level 18 to a true major level. One wrong step could lead to a bottomless abyss.
However, they didn't know that Abel was already a full rank 20. He was just hiding his power.
"Thank the great goddess for her protection!" Abel bowed towards the sky.
Of course, this explanation was perfect. No matter how jealous everyone was, they couldn't ask the goddess to explain to them how she did it.
Abel wasn't lying. If the goddess didn't help him sign a contract with the tree of life, he wouldn't have leveled up this quickly.
Of course, he had to be a full rank 20 with a complete law pattern. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the tree of life was, it couldn't force him to become a law-defying wizard.
Maybe he could become a big Druil, but if that happened, his soul would level up first. Abel didn't know how to continue his path as a law-defying wizard, so he could only focus on becoming a big Druil.
Abel's body was ready to level up when he signed the contract with the tree of life.
"Priest Ferguson and Priest Horace of the Crazy Heart Valley are here!" A voice emerged. It was the first time Abel saw a priest, so he couldn't help but look towards the door.
"The Crazy Heart Valley congratulates Master Bennett on becoming a big Druil!" Two hooded high priests in black robes and holding bone staffs walked in. One of the high priests bowed and said, "Let's go, Sir.
"Bennett of the elves welcomes the 2 priests!" Abel stepped up and bowed as well.
"Master Bennett, your life force shows that you are very young!" The priest gazed at Abel and lowered his voice.
The priest couldn't help but be surprised. Compared to other professions, priests were the most knowledgeable about life force. If he didn't know that Abel was a big Druil, he would think that Abel was just a newborn elf.
"Thank the great goddess for her protection!" Abel replied in an all-purpose way.
"Master Bennett, my name is Priest Ferguson. Other than congratulating you on becoming a big Druil, we also want to ask you something!" High Priest Ferguson didn't waste any more time on pleasantries. Instead, he went straight to the topic they were here for.
"Priest Ferguson, what do you want to ask?" Abel frowned. Priest Ferguson wasn't giving him any face at all. Was he trying to cause trouble by asking for advice at a time like this?
"Master Bennett, I heard that you have a Beamon as a contracted beast. Can I have a look?" Priest Ferguson continued.
"Priest Ferguson, could it be that you orcs have lost the Behemoth? Or are you suspecting that I stole it? "Abel asked in an unfriendly tone.
He knew where Doff came from. It was a resurrected Beamon giant beast, and he had given it a soul. Even the god that resurrected Beamon giant beast might not be able to recognize Doff's true identity, let alone the priest.
"Master Bennett, we orcs have a holy object that can summon a Beamon giant beast, but we lost it many years ago. If you found it, please return it to us. We will reward you greatly!" Priest Ferguson didn't want to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point.
Abel shook his head. He didn't have any relationship with the orcs. The holy bone card was already broken by him, and it was being repaired in Rogge's camp in the Dark World. Even if it was not broken, what right did he have to return it to the priest?
No matter which continent you were in, there was one rule that was always the same. You had full control over the spoils of war.
"Priest Ferguson, if you think I have the holy object, then I'm sure you have a way to find it. Please use it!" Abel lowered his voice.
Priest Ferguson insisted, "Master Bennett, you just need to summon the Beamon giant beast and let me have a look. I'll know if the holy object is on you or not!"
"What if I don't?" Abel was getting a little angry. His tone was getting a little harsh.
It was the first time these 2 priests met, and they were already being so aggressive. Did they really think he didn't have a temper?
"Master Bennett, do you know the consequences of messing with the Crazy Heart Valley?" Priest Ferguson said coldly.
Priests were filled with death qi, and they needed different potions compared to other professions. Therefore, they didn't need to suck up to a master potion maker like other professions.
From his point of view, a big Druil wasn't worth his attention. Big Druil was the weakest of all professions. Also, elves were not good at fighting. Whether it was summoning creatures or spells, a priest was basically the natural counter to a big Druil.
On top of that, Priest Ferguson couldn't help but look down on Abel's youthful aura.
The Crazy Heart Valley was the imperial city of the Crazy Heart Empire. It had terrifying fighting power.
The Crazy Heart Empire and the Winter Hoof Empire were the two largest Orc Empire in the Central Continent. The Winter Hoof Empire was made up of calmer orcs, mostly taurens.
The Crazy Heart Empire was made up of orcs that loved to fight. They had lions, bears, tigers, foxes, wolves, beamons, and so on.
The Crazy Heart Empire was very ambitious, but they were always suppressed by the Wizard Union. The Winter Hoof Empire had the support of the Wizard Union, so they kept each other in check.
Since the Crazy Heart Empire had many archpriests, it was only second to the wizards in the Central Continent. Therefore, Priest Ferguson was confident.
Just when Priest Ferguson was about to threaten Abel, a terrifying energy emerged from the hooded follower behind him.
The energy was aimed directly at Priest Ferguson, and he felt like he was locked on by the power of the Will.
Priest Ferguson yelled, "Damn it! Who are you? You're a law-defying wizard, aren't you?" 3 bone shields appeared around him and began to spin.
"Frankenstein, don't do it!" Abel turned to Frankenstein and commanded.
Frankenstein heard his words and immediately retracted his aura and locked onto Rhode.
Everyone on the side was shocked. Master Bennett's follower was a law-defying wizard. What kind of law-defying wizard would lower himself to become Master Bennett's follower?
"Priest Ferguson, if you want to see my Beamon giant beast, I'll let you. But my Beamon giant beast has a bad temper. If you really want to see it, let's go to the training field!" Abel lowered his voice.
"Master Bennett, let's go to the training field then!" Priest Ferguson felt like he had done something wrong today. Offending Master Bennett was a serious mistake, but his mission was to find out if the Beamon giant beast in Master Bennett's hand was the one that was revived by the holy object.
That divine artifact was extremely precious to a priest. By researching that divine artifact, an advanced priest could research the 'resurrection' spell and become an archpriest. It was a shortcut to becoming an archpriest.
Losing the holy artifact made it even harder for a priest to level up. Priest Big Horn somehow got his hands on it, and he had been hiding it for a long time. If he handed it over, he might never get the chance to study it again.
It was because of the importance of the holy bone card that Priest Ferguson requested to see the Beamon giant beast before Master Bennett's promotion ceremony.
"Master Bennett, if you don't want Priest Ferguson to see your Beamon giant beast, you don't have to show it to him. If he causes trouble for you, the lightning clan will declare war on the Crazy Heart Valley!" Wizard Hal suddenly interrupted.
"Yes, the lightning clan will stand behind you. As long as you want, we can make the crazy heart valley pay!" Wizard Merton added.
The two lightning clan law-defying wizards expressed their stance, which was enough to represent the stance of the lightning clan.
Abel couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth when two lightning clan law-defying wizards supported him.
Big Druid Lendo also spoke up, "Master Bennett, although the elves have just gone through a war, I don't think the big druids of the elves are afraid of a war with the Crazy Heart Valley."
"Master Bennett, as long as you say the word, all the big Druil elves will declare war on the Crazy Heart Valley!" Big Druil Conrad added.
"Priest Ferguson, due to the Crazy Heart Valley's provocation to the elves' hero, Master Bennett, the elves will stop all trade with the Crazy Heart Valley!" Queen Luisa also expressed her stance.
She had no choice. Even the lightning clan and the big Druil had expressed their stance. The elves had to respond with force.
Master Bennett's identity was too special. If the temple knew that she didn't do anything when Master Bennett was provoked in the palace, what would they think of her?
"Priest Ferguson, Master Bennett is my friend. He is a friend of the Wizard Union!" Wizard Hume did not say anything threatening, but the meaning was clear.
