Abe the Wizard

“Druid Lendo! Grandmaster Bennett just became a legendary druid at the Tree of Life Valley!”

The same guardian druid made a call to Druid Lendo with the contact circle to tell him this shocking news.

Druid Lendo did not know what to think or even feel, “What? What? What? Is this even possible? Did you get it wrong?”

He knew very well that it wasn’t possible to make this up. Still, it was quite ridiculous for something like this to happen. The big druid that went from rank 22 to 25 was not anywhere close to hitting legendary yet, probably. Legendary druid. What did the tree of life receive to do something like this?”

Druid Lendo closed down the contact circle before the big druid replied to him. He didn’t know what the response was, but he needed to head over to the golden castle immediately. He needed to see Grandmaster Bennet himself to believe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the courage to even report to the elven royal palace. Quickly, he called out a dire wolf and jumped on its back. He then rushed towards the teleportation circle of the elven palace.

Druid Lendo’s actions were very surprising to the eyes of the royal elves. They had no idea just what happened to make him do something like this. After passing through the teleportation circle, Druid Lendo was just starting to appear amidst the large-sized teleportation circle. Following that, he used the short-distance circle to arrive at the golden castle. This was a place that he could arrive at freely. Once he was at the main hall, he immediately rushed to the front of Butler Meyer.

“I want to see Grandmaster Bennett, Butler Meyer!”

Butler Meyer was just an ordinary elf, but he still made a slight bow.

Butler Meyer bowed apologetically, “Respectful Druid Lendo! My master has already sent out words that he is not seeing anyone during his shutdown training!”

Druid Lendo laughed and continued, “He’s out already, Butler Meyer. Please, just tell Grandmaster Bennett that I’m here.”

Butler Meyer was a bit hesitant, but still, “Please wait for a bit.”

He then went to contact Abel with the contact circle.

Abel heard Butler Meyer and laughed, “Druid Lendo? The news spread fast, didn’t it?”

As Abel appeared at the main hall, without borrowing anything, he started floating in the air and attracted everybody’s attention. It was about noontime by now. The ten guests that were preparing their food and some guests that went to inspect the legendary light were just having friendly chats amongst themselves. The golden castle was now very famous throughout the entire central continent. Anyone here would have to prove themselves to even get to talk to anyone else. In a sense, this place was only meant for those who were among the best in their fields.

“Grandmaster Bennett!”

“He can fly now!”

“A Legendary!”

“Goodness, what am I seeing?”

They all started screaming at each other. They all knew what legendary figures were, but barely anyone saw one in real life. Most legendary figures would need up to 1000 years of training. They didn’t have any relatives and even friends anymore, so most of the time, they would just be busy doing training than to be noticed by any ordinary class holders. Now, a living legend was appearing right in front of them, and it’s Grandmaster Bennett that they were so familiar with. This was already beyond their imagination.

“We have our own legendary figure!”

Druid Lendo felt like crying at the thought of a druid that could fly.

Abel was just appearing and bowing to everyone, “Everyone, I just received a promotion. My control over my presence is still quite unstable, so I won’t be staying here too long.”

He then turned to look towards Druid Lendo as he did an inviting gesture. Followed by two teleportation lights, Abel and Druid Lendo were sent to the guest meeting room.

Druid Lendo bowed to Abel, “Great Grandmaster Bennett! No, I should be calling you Bennett the Legend!’

Abel laughed and replied, “We’re friends, no need to be so formal!”

Druid Lendo’s voice was still shaking, “I-I’m too excited Legend Bennett. There have been no legendary druids for so many years, and I didn’t think that I would get to see one alive today.”

Abel said humbly, “I’m just lucky, you know.”

Druid Lendo shook his head, “No, luck is part of your strength! All of us managed to become druids by luck. Without luck, we wouldn’t have made it this far!”

Abel kept smiling, “So why are you here today?”

He sat a bit far from Abel, “I’m just wanted to confirm that you actually became a legendary figure, but that didn’t seem necessary.”

Abel poured a cup of juice for Druid Lendo, “I didn’t think this would happen so quickly.”

Druid Lendo was a bit hesitant, “May I ask, Legend Bennett, whether your success can be replicated?”

It was an offensive question, he knew. However, he was just too surprised to see how fast Abel was making progress. The last promotion was supposed to be a surprise, and even if he wasn’t here, he was still finding it difficult to see what love the tree of life had for him. If Abel’s progress could be replicated, there might just be more legendary figures among the elves, and no one would go after the elves anymore.

Abel didn’t think that Druid Lendo would ask this, “You think you can replicate this situation, Druid Lendo?”

His strength as a druid was already lagging behind his wizard level. The tree of life was already helping him plenty with its natural force meanwhile.

Druid Lendo knew that he had misspoken, “I apologize for my choice of words.”

Abel thought and spoke, “Druid Lendo, I’ll be writing my experience later and make copies to store at the Royal Engraving Monuments.”

The druids had been great to him. He’s been living amongst the elves when he needed the protection. As it stood, since he liked the place so much, he wanted to see if he could do anything for the elves. He knew that his personal accounts wouldn’t help much at all, but what they could do was prevent the people reading them from making any unnecessary mistakes.

Druid Lendo stood up and bowed, “I thank you on behalf of the elven royal palace! Legend Bennett, I’ll report this to her Majesty the Queen.”

These didn’t mean much for Abel. Rather, this was just an ordinary remembrance of his experience that might hold much value for the entire elven race. Whether it was the wizards, the priests, or the druids, the fact that Abel was doing all these things before anyone else did made his experiences very precious for developing the heritage of all kinds of classes. The heritage wasn’t just about spells and training methods, but also the mindsets required to hit different levels. Every attainment would mean letting the people go after to make fewer mistakes and make better choices. For instance, when Abel was trying to become a legendary wizard, there were a lot of incidents that he had to bypass with his full recovery potion and his giant dragon body features.

Druid Lendo made some more requests, “I’m a bit curious as to what a legendary druid should be like, Legend Bennett. Would you mind showing me?”

Being curious about legendary druids was very important. Although there had been descriptions about them in the records of the elves, even Lendo hadn’t seen one in his entire life. Most were already dead by the great war that happened many years ago.

“I just got promoted, but, ha ha, that’s fine! I don’t even know how to fight like this yet,” Abel agreed, then looked around, “Actually, not here. The furniture is expensive!”

Druid Lendo laughed as well. He knew that Abel was joking, but truth be told, he couldn’t do this while being indoors.

Abel made an inviting gesture, “Follow me!”

At the same time, the teleportation circle beneath them started lighting up. They already appeared at the battle arena of the golden castle, which was a place that was seldomly used.

Druid Lendo spoke to Abel, “Legend Bennett, according to the records, the summon creatures of the legendary druids undergo some sort of evolution that would also make them capable of flying.”

They couldn’t cast the power spells here. What Druid Lendo wanted to see was actually the transformation of the summon creatures.

Abel got curious as well, “I’ve never heard of that.”

A light flashed out of his portal beast ring. A black hole appeared in front of him and let out a great howl. The “grey bear” jumped out. Its attacking capability was definitely not close enough to him, but its defensive capability was still very top-notch. So, while doing ordinary fights, the grey bear would always be around him as a wall of defense. However, when it jumped out of the black hole, it didn’t leave the ground but stood on the ground. Abel was confused, but he could sense an energy coming from the spiritual pact he signed with it swarming towards the bear. It felt excited as it sensed this energy. It could feel that its power was just being elevated. Unlike all the promotions it received before, this time, it was being elevated from the core.

Abel was watching as more and more energy was transferred to the bear. Finally, there was actually enough to wrap around the bear completely so that it was like a white nest. He was looking at Druid Lendo to seek some sort of explanation.

Druid Lendo shook his head and smiled, “I just heard that they could fly, Legend Bennett. I don’t know what’s going on here!”

There weren’t a lot of records about legendary druids among the elves. The legendary druids all died from battle, so they didn’t have time to study or study about themselves. What happened right now was very new to Druid Lendo. He knew that everything he was watching deserved to go into every study guide.

Time passed by very quickly. If the rules didn’t allow it, Abel almost felt like he should call his dire wolves out. But, he would only have to wait until the grey bear finished its evolution until he could start thinking about the other summon creatures. Quickly, he started thinking if the other summon creatures could also fly now, but he decided to test that at a later time.

An hour passed by. A crack was appearing outside of the nest, wrapping around the grey bear. As a howl was unleashed, the nest became starlight that was quickly dispersed. However, from the howl, it could be heard that the grey bear was becoming more powerful than ever. The bear’s body was also starting to be lifted off the ground. It was floating right from the ground. The accident made it quite uncertain what was happening, but its instinct was getting it to adjust its posture. In just a few tens of seconds later, it would be able to start flying in the air.

Abel talked to himself, “I’ll probably call it a flying bear.”
