Chapter 310 - Visit From The Dwarf
Chapter 310 Visit From The Dwarf
Abel couldn’t care less what Prince Adolf had to do as long as he was in Angstrom City. Even if he left this place with the Lawland Squad, he would be accompanied by 5 druids, so he couldn’t really care less about any other elves attacking him.
It was another night in the Dark World. He roamed around the Dark Forest, ruthlessly killing Carvers. He also spent 2 days making large amounts of potions and only returned to his mansion in Lambe Road early the next morning.
Steward Brewer stood in Abel’s floor outside of the defense circle every morning as always. As soon as he saw his owner coming out, he quickly stepped up. “Master, Mr. Bernie from the Dwarfs’ Goff family wants to see you!”
“Bernie? Where is he now?” Abel didn’t have many friends, so he guessed he could count Bernie as one.
“Mr. Bernie is waiting for you in the guest lounge!” Brewer said with a bow.
Abel quickly walked towards the guest lounge in big strides, and Brewer quickly followed with small steps. When Brewer entered the guest lounge, he saw that so-called prestige dwarf, Mr. Bernie laughing with his owner with arms around each other.
“Bernie, how come you are so fast. I thought you would need at least a week or so to prepare. It’s quite far from the dwarves!” Abel looked at Bernie curiously and asked with a laugh.
“Of course, I used a teleportation circle. There’s no way I can handle such a long wait. You know my days are not too good. The longer I wait, the more those old bastards will bother me,” Said Bernie as he waved his hand.
Bernie’s old friend Wizard Atkin was standing behind, he then stepped up and greeted with a smile “the prestigious Master Bennett, this is the portal item Young Master Bernie brought. Do you want me to take it out?”
There were 2 types of portal items out there. The first type was the special one that you could access by using the power of the will. These things were often very precious, often only used by the most important member in a large family, which was the one Bernie had on him.
The other type was the one used exclusively by professionals specialized in magic. They could only be accessed by unleashing the power of the will and magic at the same time. The dwarves were exactly the best at making this type of portal item.
Since Wizard Atkin had asked this question, it probably meant that this portal item could only be opened with the power of the will in combination with magic.
“Wizard Atkin, just directly give the portal item to Master Bennett!” Said Bernie by his side.
“Yes, young master Bernie” Bernie did not tell Wizard Atkin about Abel’s true identity, and Wizard Atkin had only asked this question because this portal item was extremely precious. He did not expect young master Bernie to tell him to just hand it to Master Bennett. It seemed like young master Bernie had a very close relationship with this Master Bennett, Wizard Atkin thought to himself as he handed the portal item to Abel.
“Wizard Atkin, you can go first. I need to discuss something with Master Bennett!” Bernie said.
“Brewer, you can go outside first as well!” Abel also requested.
When only Abel and Bernie were left in the guest lounge, Abel used his power of the will to examine this hand made portal item. It was a portal bracelet with around 20 square meters of space. Inside was filled with wine barrels.
“Bernie, do you want to kill me with work?” Abel couldn’t help but said with a laugh.
“Abel, if I don’t prepare more, I will bother you again in the future anyway. I’m not asking you to make all of it at once, just work at your own pace, and I’ll just take as much as you make.” Bernie said with a carefree laugh. Since there was not anyone else in the room, they could just talk directly without caring what others think.
“No problem, I can do that. How about the thing I asked you, did you get it?” Abel asked directly as well.
“Abel, I couldn’t find many meteorites. I’ll give you this much for now; I will give you more when I found more in the future!” Bernie said as he took out a head sized meteorite and placed it on the table.
Abel gave this meteorite a little tap. This thing had already been melted down a little bit by a Blacksmith, but its elements were still perfectly useable. Also, since it was melted down, this thing actually had as much element of a fresh meteorite twice it’s size.
Seeing the satisfied look on Abel’s face, Bernie pointed at the portal bracelet and said with a smile, “Here, I’ll give this Portal Bracelet for you as a gift as well!”
Actually, Abel was not really surprised by this head size Meteorite. He knew the dwarfs must have a lot of meteorites stored up somewhere, and it was not hard to find one this size. What surprised him was this Portal Bracelet, he was not expecting Bernie to be this generous at all. All the portal bags from the Wizard Union were only 1 square meters, and this thing had 25 square meters.
Although Abel had the Kong Kong Spirit portal bad, which had a seemingly unending amount of space, that thing was military graded, and he would not dare to take it out. Both his Horadric Cube and personal storage box was not that big as well, but most of all, they were dark objects, so they could not be seen. Normally he only would only use his normal portal bag. As soon as he needed to take out more things, he would need to consider if that would attract too much attention.
Until now, Abel only had 3 portal bags. The one he got from the Wizard Union, the one given by Lady Carrie, and his Monster portal bag. Since now he had this Portal bracelet, all of a sudden, he had gained so much extra space that he could use publicly.
“Thank you so much for your gift Bernie. I’ll take it!” Said Abel as he happily put it on his right hand. Next time if he needed to take something from the Horadric Cube from his right arm, he would have an excuse.
Seeing that Abel was happy, Bernie knew he had given the right gift; he just asked frankly once again, “Abel as long as you can help me make that Rum as soon as possible!”
“No worries, just go see Steward Brewer directly next time. I will give all the completed Rum to him, and he will give it to you!” Abel knew his schedule was a little bit all over the place, so he just decided to give it to Brewer instead.
Although this was an exchange, the atmosphere was just like two friends talking. Both of them were not stingy bastards. Since they had been through life and death together, the conversation quickly progressed into the current life of Bernie. Now, it was quite certain that Bernie would inherit the Goff family’s fortune.
As long as Bernie didn’t die, this place would go to him anyway. But now that he had made a good connection with the elder elites among the dwarfs through this Master Wine, his status had further increased dramatically. Since grey dwarfs had appeared in the attack on Bernie and his little brother Dirk had the blood of grey dwarf, Dirk was the most suspicious person. He was now sent to the Ancestor Mountain for reflection.
The Ancestor Mountain was the dwarfs’ Holy Mountain. Other than the elders taking care of the Mountain, all the other dwarfs who were sent there to reflect on the mistakes they made. The dwarfs believed that as long as you reflect on the Holy Mountain, you would be cleansed.
The dwarfs had stubbornly believed in this Holy Mountain cleansing for a long time. One year of reflection basically meant 10 years, and 10 years was basically pushed to 100 years. There was seemingly no standard for this cleansing, and most of the people who were sent there would basically never return.
“Abel, just remember, if you are getting sick of the elves, just come to the dwarfs. We promise we will treat you even better!” Said Bernie honestly before he left.
“No worries Bernie, if I need someone to take care of me, I will definitely find you!” Said Abel with a big laugh as he sent Bernie out of the guest lounge.
Afterward, Abel immediately went back to his private room and ignited the defense and barrier circle. He took everything out of his Horadric cube, took out the barriers of Rum from the Portal Bracelet, and began combining.
After an hour, Abel exited his room once again. He had filled all the barrels up with Rum. He then told Steward Brewer that if Bernie came again to give him a portion at a time.
