Abe the Wizard Chapter 913 - Follower

Chapter 913: Follower

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Nolan, wait. Is master Bennett still looking for followers?” Druid Poly stepped in front of Master Nolan and asked.
“Yeah, he needs a few followers to help him take care of day-to-day needs. A group of elite druids just inquired about it; a few of them had quite a bit of potential!” Master Nolan nodded.
“Why is Master Bennett looking for someone to take care of the day-to-day things? Shouldn’t he look for a powerful guard first?” It seems like Druid Nolan was very interested.
“Master Bennett is a genius druid himself. I really don’t know how he reached rank 18 at this age. You tell me, how should an elf like him choose his followers?” Master Nolan shook her head and sighed.
“Nolan, can you take me to Master Bennett?” Druid Poly asked suddenly.
“Poly, are you thinking of becoming Master Bennett’s follower? Master Nolan was shocked.
Druid Poly was a genius herself. The most powerful master potion maker followers were ranked 19 at most—rank 20 druids needed to face the most powerful transition in their lives, becoming a big druid.
Rank 20 druids were the most powerful Druids any elf family could get. Due to their rarity, elves forbade the big druids from making themselves known beyond the elves.
“Nolan, I’ll decide after I meet master Bennett!” Druid Poly nodded.
“Ok, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, but I can tell you something for certain. Master Bennett’s skill is far superior to mine. If we do not lack his master’s grade ingredients, I won’t be surprised if he became a grandmaster!” Master Nolan lowered her voice.
Although she could tell Druid Poly that master Bennett had come to be a master purely through his own ability, her words roughly painted a picture of how powerful Master Bennett was.
Druid Poly’s eyes began to sparkle. She wouldn’t tell others, but she knew her potential was almost used up. Becoming a big druid was highly unlikely.
She needed some extra help, but the resource a rank 20 druid needed was extremely rare, and the price was almost unobtainable for her.
She was from a small family, unlike the ones with unlimited amounts of resources. If not for the other big families’ support, she wouldn’t have reached rank 20.
But despite that, she was not fully cultivated by a big family, and her resources were limited.
If she was to join any organization, she would need to complete the hardest mission with minimal rewards.
At first, she was only interested due to the power of Master Bennett’s beauty potion, and she thought a master’s resource wouldn’t be too bad, but the words of Master Nolan piqued her curiosity. It was no longer a moment of passion. She was moved.
Master Nolan said something to her Master Badge and led Druid Poly to the private room the union had given Abel.
“Master Nolan, why did you bring Druid Poly here. She wants to become Master Bennett’s follower, right?” Master Muir couldn’t help but laugh as he said in a joking tone.
To his surprise, Master Nolan nodded, “It’s Poly’s idea. She wants to see master Bennett first!”
Master Muir’s Jaw dropped. He couldn’t understand. What was this rank 20 druid thinking?
Was beauty really that important to female elves? Even a top-level druid was helpless against beauty?
“Master Nolan, thanks for your help!” Abel stepped up and bowed.
He was still very new to Bay Law City, and the only one he knew was the Lenny Family. The Lenny family was a part of the common world, not the training circle of the Druid. Abel needed a follower to bring him into the druid training circle. He also didn’t want to waste time on trivial tasks, so a follower can be very helpful.
“Master Bennett, this is Druid Poly. She is my friend, and I want you to meet her!” Master Nolan smiled.
“Druid Poly, nice to meet you!” Abel bowed.
He could sense powerful druid energy coming from Druid Poly: truly powerful druid energy. She was at least on Wizard Hogg’s level. The captain of team no.3.
A rank 20 druid! He was shocked. How come someone so powerful would want to become his follower?
“Master Bennett, nice to meet you!” Druid Poly bowed back.
She was also shocked by Abel’s energy. It was filled with youthfulness, almost like something coming out of a newborn infant. It just felt awkward around his rank 18 druid energy since a rank 18 druid energy normally goes with at least 100s years of age.
Although she couldn’t sense Abel’s potion-making level, she was certain that Abel had far more potential than her.
“Maybe it is a good idea to follow Master Bennett after all!” Druid Poly thought to herself.
“Master Bennett, the other druids have arrived in the union. You can see them in a moment!” Master Nolan interrupted.
Master Nolan’s master badge was swarmed with messages once again, so she had to say something.
“Ok, take me to them!” Abel nodded.
“Master Bennett, do I have the honor to become your follower?” Druid Poly suddenly spoke after the moment of silence.
Soon, the room was filled with an even greater silence. Although Druid Poly was interested in becoming Abel’s follower, no one would believe her until she asked.
Those words were her certainty on display. A rank 20 druid wanting to be a master potion maker’s follower was unheard of for all potion makers in the union.
“Druid Poly, it would be my honor!” Abel smiled.
“Master Bennett, I will give my life to protect you. The Goddess of the moon will testify!” Druid Poly got on one knee and said in a serious tone.
Dark gold energy sifted out as she spoke. Soon, Abel sensed a contract connecting him and Druid Poly, waiting for him to sign.
“Druid Poly, I accept your loyalty. The Goddess of the moon will testify!” Abel lowered his voice as he placed his right hand on the dark gold energy.
At first, Abel was worried that the Goddess of the moon would reject him since he was not a real elf, but the reality proved otherwise.
From that point on, no one would doubt his elf identity. He was recognized by the elves’ goddess of the moon.
A smile emerged on Master Nolan’s face, but her heart was filled with even greater joy. She was not only happy for her friend, but she was also happy that the goddess of the moon had recognized Abel.
Master Bennett was very master, according to her information. At least he did not live in the elves for long, and she also sensed a layer of unknown on him.
The reason Master Nolan was so passionate about finding a follower for Abel was not only to return her favor but also to see if Abel was an actual elf.
Both Abel and master Nolan did not know, but Abel had the energy of Lorraine on him. Lorraine was not only the elf princess of the Holy Continent, but she was also the chosen one. The Goddess of the moon’s closest elf.
With Lorraine’s energy on top of the holy transformation necklace, the goddess of the moon had accepted Abel.
Afterward, a powerful dark gold contract cover emerged above Abel and Druid Poly. A contract pattern appeared, and he could easily communicate with Druid Poly with his soul through that pattern.
The contract was not strict. The only requirement was for Druid Poly to protect Abel within the limit of her ability. She didn’t need to accept other commands.
It was a simple protection contract, but it was extremely hard to break. The goddess of the moon personally confirmed it.
“Congratulations, Master Bennett, Congratulations, Druid Poly!” Master Muir smiled and bowed.
“Thank you!” Abel bowed back and turned back to Druid Poly. After a moment of thinking, he continued, “Druid Poly, take this as a gift. From now on, you can ask me for any potion you want. No need to hold back!”
Abel said as he took out a blue beauty potion and placed it on Druid Poly’s hand. Druid Poly was stunned. She was not expecting a gift so quickly.
Druid Poly turned to master Nolan, and she gave her 2 little winks and nodded. They were friends for many years, and her expression let Druid Poly know that this was the beauty potion that revived her youth.
Druid Poly happily held the potion in her hand. She did not drink it up immediately. Instead, she carefully placed it in her portal bag.
“Master Bennett, please excuse my attention just then. Actually, you don’t have to sign the contract immediately. You can let me go through a trial first!” Druid Poly was not expecting Abel to sign the contract immediately, but she was happy for Abel’s directness.
Master Muir couldn’t help but look at Master Nolan. Even though he forgot that a follower could go through a trial before signing a contract, there was no way master Nolan would forget. How come she never told Abel?
Abel’s identity was too suspicious, but at the same time, there was no way Master Nolan would say to Abel that she wanted to test his identity as an elf.
“Druid Poly, how can I reject a rank 20 druid from becoming my follower!” Abel was completely ignorant of the trials, so he laughed.
“Master Bennett, you can have 3 official followers recognized by the Potion Maker Union. I’ve taken up 1 spot, so if you are not in a rush, you can choose some unofficial followers first. All you need to do is to give them some resources!” Since Druid Poly had become Abel’s follower, she immediately began thinking for him.
“if you have time, can you help me choose some followers? Abel asked after hearing druid Poly’s suggestion.
“That’s a great idea. Druid Poly is an expert in elite druids!” Master Nolan laughed.
Everyone on the spot knew Abel was a rank 18 druid, so his follower needed to be more powerful than him at the least. Since he already got Druid Poly as a follower, he needed to choose his 2 other followers even more carefully to match with Druid Poly.
In the hall of the potion maker union, 20 elite druids were gathered by an assistant.
They were all rank 16 or 17 at the most, which made sense since they didn’t know anything about Abel, and the more powerful ones were not as desperate.
“Which potion maker leveled up?” A rank 17 druid asked.
“Master Bennett!” The assistant did not know much as well, so he just said the name.
The druid was confused, so he turned to the other druids and asked. “Have you guys heard of Master Bennett?”
All the other druids looked confused. None of them heard of the name. Who was Master Bennett?
