Abe the Wizard Chapter 246 – Loraine’s Home

Abel gave a nobleman’s bow to Loraine’s sister. Her eyes flashed for a bit as he was doing this. She was probably surprised by how courteous he was being.

“This is my house, Abel! Wait here for a bit. I’ll come back to you soon!” Loraine said happily but was quickly pulled away by her sister.

Abel help kind of helpless when saw Loraine leaving him like that. That being said, she was coming back to her home.

Once she came out, he could just leave after saying his farewell to her. After that, he might just go find a quiet place and train for another few months. Something felt wrong, though. He didn’t want to part ways with her like this.

After rescuing Loraine at the Kree’s Auction Stand, they’ve always been together the entire time. Because of how distinguished his status was in the Duchy of Carmel, he had no friends that were of the same age as him.

Loraine was the only friend Abel could trust. His relationship with her was wonderful. Maybe it had to do with how young they were. They both knew what each other was thinking, yet never spoke out clearly. What was clear was how much they cared for each secrets they’ve shared together.

Loraine called Abel “Bennett” just now. Bennett was Abel’s elf name. If he had not become Lord Marshall’s heir, he would be a wandering knight who came from the Bennet family. Abel’s talked about this with Loraine. Because of how famous he was in the human world, almost everyone of a little bit of status knew about his history with the Wizard Union.

That being said, Abel didn’t know how he was just as famous as the dwarves. That barrel of rum Bernie brought might be good for a short while but in the long term? Without a doubt, it was going to bring up a lot of issues.

The benefit was that over time, the rum made by Master Abel became a huge brand amongst the dwarf society. They even started calling it “Master’s Rum.” Abel’s title changed from being a Master Blacksmith to being a Master Winebrewer. Every day, dwarves from different houses would come to Bernie for more rum, and it was making him a more prominent figure in both his family and amongst the dwarves.

Troublingly, there were only 100 pounds of master wine. So even if Bernie was to distribute it carefully, there wouldn’t be enough to satisfy the huge and growing demand. He couldn’t just shut down the business, though. There were important customers coming every day. There were returning customers, too. Because of how high-classed these dwarves were, he couldn’t tell them to go home. It was making him very distressed, actually.

Bernie was left with no choice, so he started searching for Abel’s news all over the world. He knew that Abel was going to the elves world, but there were four big cities that belonged to the elves. Over these past few days, he’s sent his men to three of these cities. As for Angstrom city, he couldn’t find his way in because the teleportation gate was shut off.

Loraine’s return had a huge impact on Angstrom city. Portal gates for dwarves were reopened. Trade with humans was reopened. All commercial activities returned to normal.

Abel didn’t know about it, but because the portal gate was opened, Bernie had come to Angstrom City himself to look for him. On the one hand, he was trying to run away from the old drunkards that were coming after him. On the other hand, he came to look for any news he could find on Abel. He wasn’t going to reveal his true intentions. Obviously, so he just pretended that he was coming to discuss trade issues with the elves.

At this point, Abel didn’t know the things that happened outside. He was now Bennet, the elf. He was a stray elf, a mercenary archer. He was just an elf in one of the most common classes there was. Actually, even if Bernie was right in front of him, he wouldn’t even know who he was.

Abel looked at his reflection in the water. The transformation necklace was doing wonders in turning him into another species. It adjusted every muscle and bone of his body. While his skin was already very young, not a lot of change could be discerned from it. That being said, his current appearance was no different from that of a genuine elf.

A light footstep interrupted Abel’s thoughts. He looked up and saw an elf maid walking towards him. She was about the same age as Loraine.

“Sir, your residence has been arranged. Please, come with me!” The elf maid bowed towards Abel.

The elf maid looked at Black Wind for a bit. She seemed to be a little afraid. That as it might be, she still mustered up the courage to walk towards Abel slowly.

Abel nodded, jumped off from Black Wind, and followed behind the elf maid. Rather than trying to be a gentleman, it just felt weird for him to follow such a small elf on his giant mount wolf.

The mansion was huge. As it sat on top of a mountain, its front entrance was facing right towards the ocean. After walking across a bridge, Abel had to go past two squares and a garden to arrive at a small yard consisting of a white jade tower and a small orchid.

The elven maid said, “Welcome to your residence, sir. Pull-on these ropes here if you have anything you want to ask. There will be servants at your service throughout the day. If you don’t have anything to ask me now, I shall return to sorting out some other chores.”

“Excuse me, what status is the owner of this place?”

Abel still didn’t know who the master of this place was. His best guess was that, whoever they were, they must be very important in Angstrom City.

“Sir, there must be a reason that our master didn’t tell you. You’ll start to know when the master finds the right time to tell you. If there isn’t anything else you’d like to ask, you’ll have to excuse me now.”

The elf maid refused to answer Abel’s question. After bowing to him, she exited the yard after seeing Abel shaking his head. There really wasn’t much to ask, so Abel allowed her to go back to whatever she was doing.

Abel was starting to get a better understanding of how good these elves were living. Damn, this courtyard for guests was almost one-fourth of the main building of Harry Castle. Imagine how big the whole mansion would have to be.

As Abel took a few steps inside the white jade tower, he could see that the entire building was filled with lighting circles. This was about the most expensive light for purchase in the human world. However, here, it was just something that even the guests could use.

The tower was divided into two floors, each with a height of more than five meters. The top had a double-arched roof. Huge and delicate were Abel’s first impression of the house. In almost any detail that was visible to the eyes, the elves have dedicated themselves to put in as many decorations as they could. This just showed how persistent they were in pursuing beauty and everything that was good.

Whether it was the pattern of floor tiles made of different colors on the ground, or the carved patterns on the stair railings, or the huge crystal windows in the bedroom, everything was showing how wealthy the owners of this place was.

came to the bedroom, it lay down beside the big bed and closed its eyes to rest. Recently, Black Wind’s rest time has increased significantly. Abel thought that something was wrong, but after looking into Black Wind’s mind and scanning it with his power of the will, there wasn’t any problem that he could find.

Abel didn’t know much about mount wolves. He didn’t know why Black Wind was sleeping so much. Marcy, the trainer, was not with him, so it wasn’t like he could ask someone. Thankfully enough, it wasn’t like Black Wind was sick or anything. It would still fight when enemies come, so there weren’t a lot of problems with it taking a few more naps.

As the sky gradually darkened, the purple lights began to flash from the city walls,

purple. Due to the rise of water vapor, a cloud of mist formed in the air, which made the city looked like something that came out of a fairytale.

The elf maid appeared again. This time, she was carrying a set of nightgowns. She bowed respectfully to Abel, “Sir, our master has just invited you to dinner. I’ve brought you a gown here that’s customized according to your body size.”

Abel was a little surprised. He didn’t expect the owner of this place to be so thoughtful. Actually, he was wearing a set of elven leather armor leather right now. It would be disrespectful if he was to attend while wearing this.

After receiving the gown, Abel declined the elf maid when she offered to help him wear it. He decided to change his clothes himself after taking a shower in the bathroom. When he came out of the room, the nightgown fitted perfectly around his body. Even the maid was looking kind of shy for a moment.

Abel, as a noble, a noble commander, a third-level wizard, a blacksmith master, and an experienced traveler, looked unique already. Combined with the nightgown that was made just for him, he looked both unique and powerful in a very one-of-a-kind way.
