Chapter 517 - Friend Is Here
517 Friend Is Here
“Seems like that bastard is here for wine again!” Abel mumbled to himself with a smirk. Afterward, he replied to his identity card, “Invite him in, I’ll come down in a second.”
The first thing Abel saw when he entered his office was a desperate looking Bernie. He quickly stepped up with a smile and said, “Bernie, I thought you were busy with business; how come you have time for a visit?”
“It’s all thanks to your wine; my wizards said they were helpful for wizard meditation. Do you have any on you? Give me a try first!” Bernie energetically stared at Abel’s portal bracelet.
“They are helpful for wizard meditation?” Abel was stunned for a moment. He never expected his wine to have any special ability, but it still did. He would be in big trouble from now on.
“No way, you didn’t know?” If Bernie knew this earlier, he would definitely slap himself in the mouth. He could not let anyone in his tribe know about this, or else they would definitely doubt his ability to do business.
If it was only some tasty wine, the deal could be made easily. However, with this new ability, it would be a completely different game.
Abel laughed as he took out a crystal glass from his portal bracelet and handed it to Bernie. Seeing Bernie caught the crystal glass slightly out of the guard, Abel replied, “I didn’t know, but now I know!”
Abel irritatedly twisted opens the crystal glass, and viciously gulped down a big mouthful of luxury master wine. Just when he wanted to say something to get back his face, he felt his whole body begin to burn. His throat felt like it was on fire. He couldn’t help but cough.
“Bernie, didn’t the 3 wizards tell you this wine is very strong?” Abel said with a smile, looking at Bernie.
“I wasn’t expecting it to be this strong. But still, it’s good stuff!” Bernie slowly regained himself with effort and began his complement.
“Of course, this is the best wine in the world. Too bad, maybe only you dwarfs could enjoy it!” Said Abel confidently.
“We really know how to drink. The human red wine is like nothing to us, too soft!” Bernie agreed.
“Bernie, you are standing in front of a human. And the wine you just drank is made by a human as well!” Abel reminded him.
“Understand understand!” Bernie carelessly brushed Abel off, and followed, “What’s the name of this wine?”
“I call it luxury master wine!” Said Abel like he didn’t care.
“Abel, you really know how to name things!” Bernie said, looking at Abel in dissatisfaction. A good wine like this needed a more glorious sounding name.
“If you don’t like the name, then don’t drink it. I’ll give it to you again after I think of a better name!” Said Abel as he stuck out his hand for the crystal glass.
“You are right; this name is very good!” Bernie quickly held the crystal glass tighter in his hands. He was willing to sacrifice his taste of name for this.
They laughed a bunch. Bernie was one of Abel’s only friends. In front of Bernie, Abel could act like a normal person.
“My tribe called me here, how many barrels of this luxury master wine can you give me?” Said Bernie lifting you the crystal glass.
“Bernie, how about we change barrels to bottles. This thing is pure. Do you think it’s that easy to make? Do you know how many high value ingredients are in it?” Abel asked, pointing at Bernie.
Of course, Bernie knew that Abel was a Master Alchemist as well. He would not believe it even if someone told him that there were no alchemy elements in these master wines.
A genius who could become the elves’ alchemist master in such a short period of time would put a lot of alchemy technique into making his wine. Bernie didn’t doubt Abel a single bit. Also, with Abel’s connection with the elves, Bernie wouldn’t be surprised that Abel could get a large number of precious ingredients from the Double Moon Forest.
“Abel, so how many bottles can you give me? My family pressed me for this. If I fail, the tribe leader will strangle me to death!” Said Bernie with a sad looking face.
“Bernie, I know the tribe leader is your father. Don’t think you can trick me. I’ll give you ten bottles first, and we’ll discuss how you can pay me back later. I know you won’t scam me anyway.” Said Abel with a breeze.
“10 bottles!” Bernie did some quick math. He definitely needed to give 3 bottles to the 3 elite wizards, so he had 7 bottles left. He had so many wizards in his family, he would definitely beat to death by them.
“Right!” Bernie sighed. He almost forgot about Old Goff and the elites of his tribe. It seemed like 10 bottles would be gone in a flash.
“Abel, 10 bottles is too little. How about 100 bottles!”Bernie had also been thinking for half a day, and by this point, he finally began his negotiation.
“You know what Bernie, I’ve been quite interested in that floating fort you gave me. See if you can find a few more for me!” Said Abel softly.
“Abel, that thing is too precious. It’s very hard to just give you one of them. I don’t know if my tribe would agree.” Bernie said, shaking his head.
A little research team dedicated to researching the floating fort had already been established in the Goff Family. Although they didn’t make any progress, their perspective on them had changed ever since Abel discovered the tower spirit.
Bernie did not hide from Abel, so he said directly, “Ever since you discovered a spirit in those floating forts, my tribe’s Wizards have become very interested in them, and they also wanted to get one to come out. So it seems unlikely.”
Abel’s eyes started to sparkle when he heard Bernie say, “seems unlikely.” It was unlikely, but not impossible. This meant he had a chance,
“Ok how about this, I’ll give you 20 bottles first. You go back and ask if they want to trade 100 bottles of luxury master wine for a floating fort!” Said Abel, padding Bernie’s shoulder.
“That’s….” Bernie was a little bit hesitant.
Abel gave his portal bracelet a little rub, and 22 bottles of luxury master wine appeared on the table in front. The wine was giving out a mysterious shimmer within the crystal bottles. Bernie couldn’t help but take another sip, and let out a gentle sigh.
There was no need to explain. Bernie knew that Abel had given him an extra 2 bottles just for himself.
Bernie knew in his heart that those floating forts were nothing too extraordinarily important. They had been researched for countless years by countless wizards, but they discovered nothing. Even if there was a secret, it seemed like only Abel could break it. He still had a few floating forts in his tribe, so giving out another one shouldn’t be such a big problem.
Up to that point, Bernie said, “Abel, I’ll give it a try, but I can’t promise anything.”
Bernie said as he put the bottles on the table in his portal. He took away the bottles and took a sip of it as well.
After Abel sent Bernie off, Abel went back to his magic tower. The teleportation circle had been open recently, so a lot of wizards had been visiting. Luckily, the back mountain range of Harry Castle was surrounded by the 6 star magic circle, and that 6 star magic circle had the name of killing 3 elite wizards. Therefore, no wizard wanted to mess with him anymore.
The moment Abel returned to his magic tower, Wizard Morton came for a visit.
“Abel, the mana here is so good. Don’t let it go to waste!” Said Wizard Morton.
Wizard Morton was here today for the apprentice wizards and wizard followers outside of Bakong City. Since Wizard Morton, Wizard Yveline, and Wizard Murphy had all shut down their magic towers. The wizard followers and apprentice wizard normally gathered outside did not have any missions. Although they could still enjoy the free mana, they no longer had any potion of magic books as supply.
“Teacher, what do you mean?” Abel was confused.
“I want to get those wizard followers and apprentice wizards outside of Bakong City to come here. It can help them grow a lot!” Wizard Morton looked at Abel. Although Abel was his disciple, this place was Abel’s domain at the end of the day, and Abel was the one who created this mana environment. So, he still needed to ask him first.
“Teacher, I don’t have time for this. I’ll let you take care of it!” Said Abel with a smile.
With a large number of wizard followers, a wizard circle would be formed, and it would attract a large number of gifted wizards. It was very good for the Earl Domain.
