Abe the Wizard

Chapter 208 Elven Perfume

After hearing Abel’s call, the waiter walked through the bunch of adventurers. He was very afraid, of course. It was obvious that his voice was shaking when he spoke.

“Yeee..yes sir.... We do. We do have a lo-ot of rum here...”

“Give me ten barrels,” Abel threw a big bag of gold coins on the table, “Make sure they are sealed well. Hey, is this enough as a payment?”

“That’s too much, sir!” the waiter said loudly, as he stared at the heavy bag.

Abel shooed the waiter away, “Just hurry up! The rest is your tip.”

All the adventurers in the inn were still looking. From their perspective, whoever this masked man was, he was either a fool or someone who was confident enough to take on all of them. They weren’t sure which one was he, so nobody dared to make a move yet.

As for Abel, he didn’t want to reveal his identity and his power. He didn’t want the Wizard Union to know where he had been. If he could just scare these men away, he would have a lot less trouble going for him.

Soon, twenty roast portions of meat were wrapped up in a bag, and two 100-pound rum barrels were carried over by several other waiters. Once they were at Abel’s table, they were wrapped up with a giant, long rope.

“Let’s go,” Abel said as Loraine was already done eating. After nodding for a bit, Loraine stood up and walked beside Abel.

With twenty servings of roast meat on his left and ten rum barrels wrapped up with a rope in his right, Abel began to walk towards the exit. As heavy as they definitely were, it looked like he was just carrying a single barrel of rum. These adventurers knew what they were looking at. The weight was just too light to let Abel pay any attention to it.

Suddenly, the silence was filled with the sound of these men swallowing their own saliva. If they weren’t looking at Abel’s figure right now, they would think that he was a giant bear or something

As Abel was walking past Blood Axe, despite the fact that his face was covered, his stare still emitted a deadly imposing pressure. He was very good at controlling his imposing pressure now. If his opponent was weaker than him, he wouldn’t even have to do anything to intimidate him.

Just like now. There was already a huge gap between knights and warriors. And since Abel’s imposing pressure was much stronger than most advanced knights, Blood Axe (an intermediate warrior) had no way to react. He just stood there, almost as if lightning had struck him.

When Abel and Loraine went out of the inn, every adventurer felt like they could finally breathe again.

“Everyone’s going to laugh at us now. Hey, why didn’t you do anything back there?” one of them said.

“Well, why didn’t you do anything? I thought you liked claiming all the glory to yourself,” another one replied sarcastically.

“Hey, Blood Axe. What’s wrong, brother?” one of the men asked as he saw something wrong with Blood Axe.

As this man patted Blood Axe on his back, Blood Axe fell to the ground like a piece of plank.

“Wow, what the...”

A few more men came to see what’s going on. Luckily for them, Blood Axe was just unconscious. Well, he also got a bump on his head because of the way he fell, but he was in much better condition than what most bystanders thought.

The inn became silent once again. Everyone knew how strong Blood Axe was. Right now, there were about less than two people here who could take on him. Yet, despite all that, Blood Axe was knocked out by that stranger back then. They didn’t even know what the guy did to knock him out.

Soon, fewer adventurers remained in the inn. Abel might not have known about it, but he just prevented a merchant’s cargo from being attacked by these men. Their original plan was to make an ambush around Moogen Town, but now they wanted to get away as far as they could from here.

After checking that nobody was around, Abel threw his rum barrels and roast meat into his Kong Kong spiritual beast bag. It was getting late now, and White Cloud was already waiting for him and Loraine.

“Black WInd!” Since Abel couldn’t see Black Wind, he decided to call it through his soul chain.

Soon, Black Wind ran back with a deer in its mouth. As it laid the deer on the ground in front of Abel, Abel complimented it by patting it on the head.

“Thank you, Black Wind!” Loraine rubbed Black Wind’s fur with her tiny hand, “Now that’s a good, goody boy. You just got a whole deer for Abel!”

Loraine didn’t get that right. This wasn’t for Abel. Black Wind got the deer for itself. It just wanted Abel to roast it before it could eat it, and what’s Abel going to do? It’s not like he’s got a choice. After all the time they’ve spent in the Rogue’s Encampment, it just lost interest in eating any uncooked meat.

Something didn’t feel right. When Loraine was looking at Black Wind, she actually looked kind of upset. Her eyes were wavering for some reason.

“What happened, Loraine?” Abel asked as he took out some roast meat for Black Wind.

“I- I just remembered about Clark,” Loraine said quietly.

Clark, right. That’s the horse Abel gave to Loraine. Abel just remembered as well. Since they didn’t have the time to take things slowly, they just left it at Bakong City. He was starting to feel kind of guilty now.

Abel tried to comfort Loraine, “Don’t worry, Ken will take care of him.”

Loraine replied with a smile, “Yeah, I’m sure he will. He’s always liked Clark.”

When Loraine felt less upset, she came to feed Black Wind with Abel. When they were done, Abel took her on top of White Cloud’s back. They went inside Akara’s tent, and while Black Wind was taking a nap, White Cloud began flying east again.

It was already dark now. Since it was dark inside the Akara’s tent, Abel took out a night pearl from his portal bag. After putting it on top of the tent, it became a lot brighter inside.

“You mind if I use the alchemy table?” Loraine asked urgently.

“Yeah, sure. Use it anytime,” Abel smiled. Since Loraine wanted to make her elven perfume so badly, even he was starting to become interested.

“You mind if I watch you making the perfume?” Abel asked. He wasn’t sure if the elven perfume was a family secret or something. As curious as he was, it was still the polite thing to ask for permission first.

Loraine chuckled a bit, “It’s okay, Abel. It’s not like a secret recipe or something! Including me, every noble elven girl has to know how to make her own elven perfume.”

As Loraine came to the alchemy table, she took one out of the five portions of the materials she bought at Edmund’s boutique shop. After that, she took out many branches of dried purple flowers.

“This is hyacinth, Abel,” Loraine said as she placed the plant inside a crystal cup, “It’s a shame that we aren’t in the right season. I was going to see if there were any fresh flowers. They smell really nice, did you know that?”

Loraine added some water to the cup. After that, she stirred it with a crystal stick. She then lit up the fire for the stove, and once the cup was placed on top of the stove, she chanted out something in the noble tongue of the elves.

Abel did learn some noble tongue of the elves as well. He could tell that Loraine was saying some simple phrases. These words didn’t mean anything in particular, but while Loraine was still stirring the crystal cup, the dried hyacinth flower slowly dissolved in the water. Soon, all that remained was a tiny bit of residue.

Abel could sense a spell wave here. As weak as it was, it was almost impossible for him not to detect it if it was so close to him.

One thing for sure. Loraine didn’t cast any spells. If she did, it would be the effect of the enchantments she did. While it was nowhere strong enough to form an offensive or a defensive spell, it was more enough to dissolve a flower.

Loraine stopped stirring when the hyacinth flower was dissolved, “What I did just then was a faster method to dissolve the flower. Normally, it would take a lot longer for a flower like that to dissolve, but we just saved a lot of time.”
