Chapter 736 - Return To Angstrom City
Chapter 736: Return To Angstrom City
A new year and a new day.
Abel had set up a short distance teleportation circle in the palace’s lounge for him to teleport stuff faster.
He pressed on the transformation necklace on his chest, and his body slowly began to shrink. His ears began to get sharp, and his limbs began to slim.
After 10 seconds, he had transformed into the elf Bennett. He placed his hand on his portal bracelet, and in a flash, an elven alchemy robe appeared on him.
He was satisfied with the way he looked. After he made sure there was no human gear on him, he stepped on the teleportation circle.
The 2 knights guarding outside of the palace teleportation circle sensed a white flash from the teleportation circle, but before they could even see anything, the white light flashed again, and Abel disappeared.
The 2 knights knew the person who had just teleported had full permission to use this teleportation circle. There was no need to charge a fee.
Abel teleported from the Bakong City Palace to his 16 stories magic tower in Harry Castle, where the giant teleportation circle was located.
He then selected the alchemy union teleportation circle in Angstrom City. In a flash. He had teleported from the far south of the human world into the Double Moon Forest, where the elves were.
The teleportation did not make him dizzy. As soon as his foot landed, he saw a female elf in an alchemy robe with a shocked look on her face.
“Master Bennett!’ That female elf was tiny, but her voice was big. Her yell could be heard throughout the entire union.
All of a sudden, all gaze turned towards the teleportation circle. They saw a familiar body.
“Master Bennett, welcome back!” Elite alchemist Earnest quickly stepped up and bowed.
The arrival of Abel had lit up the atmosphere of the Alchemy Union, especially the female elves.
The elves loved beauty, and they all went crazy for Abel’s alchemy products. The ‘conditioner’ and ‘lotion’ he sent over would be divided almost immediately every time.
Especially the ‘elven perfume.’ If Angstrom City controlled them, the Alchemy Union would have divided them as well.
“Alchemist Earnest, long time no see. I’m here today is because I want to request an elite alchemist pattern!” Abel bowed and smiled.
The reason he had directly teleported to the alchemy union was that he had fulfilled his intermediate alchemist pattern long ago. Since he was still not an intermediate wizard, he did not proceed with his journey underground in the Dark World.
Instead, he dedicated most of his time to alchemy. His skills had shot up in immaculate speed.
Normally it would take ten to a hundred years to obtain an elite alchemy pattern from an intermediate one. However, Abel had taken advantage of the time difference in the Dark World as well as his sight and data analyzing the ability of the world stone. He did not make a single mistake during his potion-making, enabling him to progress at immense speeds.
He had fulfilled his intermediate alchemy pattern in no time, and he did not have an elite one. That was why he had been stuck as an intermediate alchemist.
The rank of a Master Alchemist had to do with their alchemy pattern. However, alchemy skills were still the most important. Alchemy pattern set the foundation, while alchemy skills depended on techniques. No matter how good your foundation was, you could not unleash your full potential without the right technique.
Abel was the kind of alchemist that could fully unleash the potential of his foundation. That was why the alchemy union had recognized him as the honor master alchemist.
“Master Bennett, you can go straight to the library and receive it. Those books are all free of charge to you!” Alchemist Earnest pointed at the second floor of the alchemy union.
“Thank you!” Abel bowed and headed towards the library alchemist Earnest was pointing at.
He arrived in front of the library. The library had taken up the entire second floor of the alchemy union. As he walked through the door, he sensed an energy wave and scanned his body.
The honor master alchemist badge on his chest was scanned. A beam of white light shot out. The energy wave recognized it.
When he stepped inside the library, he realized all the books were made with leaves, neatly placed on wooden racks.
An old elf was sitting behind an old desk next to the door. The whole place had a strong vintage scent.
“You have permission to access all the books here. Knowledge is priceless. Please respect these books!” the old elf said with an aged voice.
This old elf did not have much reaction towards Abel’s status. Of course, Abel understood how old this elf must be. An elf like this must have seen quite a lot. In his eyes, an honor master alchemist was probably just another elf.
“I’m looking for an elite alchemy pattern. Please tell me where it is!” Abel bowed.
This place was humongous; it would take him a long time to find the pattern from this sea of books.
“Turn left, the 3rd rack second row. But you can only read it here; you can’t take it!” The old elf said without hesitation.
“Thank you!” Abel bowed again.
He turned left and came towards the 3rd rack second row. He saw a leaf with the elite alchemist pattern marking. He didn’t know what kind of plant this leaf belonged to. Although it had been plucked from a tree, its jade greed smooth surface was perfectly preserved.
On the smooth surface was an elite alchemist pattern drawn with a rune pen. Every stroke was extremely clear. Abel could tell the person who drew this pattern was extremely skilled at pattern drawing while also being an elite alchemist as well.
Abel’s memory was extremely effective, as long as he had the sight and data analyzing from world stone open. He could perfectly memorize the elite alchemy pattern in no time.
Afterward, he placed the leaf in its original position and picked up another leaf.
This leaf was written with elite elven language. Maybe even normal elves could not understand it.
This leaf had documented the knowledge of an elven alchemist and the formula for healing potions. Looking at the details, this alchemist had great confidence in his healing potion formula. He had written down every single step.
Things like this were useless to Abel. At a glance, Abel had spotted many unnecessary steps and even some minor mistakes in the formula.
However, for an amateur alchemist who wanted to make a healing potion for the first time, this knowledge could save them a lot of time. Still, they could easily develop some bad right from the start.
Abel placed the leaf back and picked up the next one. This was another elven alchemist’s knowledge and experience.
This time Abel looked at it in close detail. He realized the alchemist who had written this book was born a thousand years ago. He picked up the one he just put down again, and that alchemist was born a thousand years ago as well.
Abel suddenly understood. Most of the leaves here had documented the knowledge of countless elven alchemists throughout history.
Those elven alchemists had given out all they got and wrote down the knowledge they gained from their experience, just to pass down this valuable knowledge for the next generation.
Maybe this was why there were so many alchemists among the elves, Abel thought to himself.
However, maybe this was why the development of those elven alchemists was limited. The past generation was not correct all the time. As far as Abel knew, the elves’ alchemy skill was the most powerful in the Holy Continent.
But still, they only had an honor master alchemist. They did not have any actual master alchemists.
Abel looked through those leaves again. Since he was just aimlessly browsing around, he did not find anything too useful. Only some botany and mineralogy knowledge other than alchemy knowledge.
Some books only required one piece of leaf, while some included many stacked together.
Just like that, noon had arrived. His biological clock told him it was time for lunch, so he left the library.
