Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1084

On the second morning, the Haden Mountain Range was covered in layers of thin fog. Forest green contrasted with the rays of the morning sun, and the whole place gleamed with beautiful shades and colors. The beauty here was out of this world.

At the very top of the highest mountain, the golden castle was covered with seclusion. While all the views could be seen from the inside out, no one could see its existence from the outside.

Abel was sitting at the top-level platform as he drank his water spirit fruit juice. It looked to the others like he was relaxing, but he was conducting his spiritual practices in truth. He was choosing his followers so that one of them could receive a blessing from his heritage book.

The Beamon giant beast stood beside him. It held an ancient totem with Frankenstein to protect their master. Abel could hear the chirping coming down from the sky. White Cloud was dropping from the sky to make a landing here. Thankfully, there was enough space around for it to do this.

Abel smiled, and he touched White Cloud’s head, “What happened here?”

White Cloud pecked at the portal bag on its neck. Abel couldn’t help but smile. White Cloud was eating the “ration potion” now. Given its body size and all the times it was promoted, it ate much more now. It wasn’t like it had the time to spend all the time looking for food, which was why it’s been feeding on the “ration potion” this whole time.

Abel laughed and reached for his portal bag, “Here’s a bunch of rabbit-flavoured potions if you need.”

It was the same as what the potion masters ask from him. It wasn’t just the summoned creatures. These ration potions would come in high demand as they were proven to be very helpful in brewing various kinds of complex potions. Most of them were used sparingly for industrial and scientific purposes. In fact, no one except Abel used it as food.

After seeing the bags, White Cloud chirped a few times to express its gratitude. It then flew again towards the sky.

The research spirit’s voice resounded, “Lady Sainte is here, Master.”

Abel rushed towards the sky, “Send me over.”

Ever since moving to the golden castle, Abel was sure that he no longer needed Frankenstein to move him. As long as it was within the golden castle, he could teleport to any spot with the short-distance teleportation circle.

This time, he chose to appear inside the teleportation circle room. Lorraine was looking around curiously as well. It was the first time she’s ever seen a building made entirely of gold. Druid Lucia and Druid Buela stood right next to her. After seeing Abel, the two of them quickly bowed.

Abel quickly complimented her, “You look great today, Lorraine.”

“Oh! Thanks!” Lorraine smiled in response to the compliment.

She spent extra effort dressing herself up today. Thanks to Druid Lucia, she became much more confident in what she ended up choosing.

Abel looked at his own costume, “Maybe I should have my own suit for this. I do look a little shabby standing next to you.”

Lorraine was quick to disagree, “No, no no! You look great in anything to me!”

Druid Lucia and Buela looked at each other and smiled. It was wholesome to see such a warm interaction between their Sainte and Master Bennett. It was reassuring, too. Given that Master Bennett was such a major influencer of what’s going on in the central continent, having the two being so good to each other was what really brought the different parties together.

“I’ll bring you to my new home,” Abel quickly changed the subject, “I’ll have the other two to the hallroom, if I can. Butler Meyer will take care of anything if they need it.”

Druid Lucia and Druid Buela quickly bowed, “Don’t worry about us, Master Bennett.”

Abel waved his hand as the two were teleported to the hallroom. Of course, they were both struck by how lavish everything was inside there. Instead of using the teleportation circle, they walked as slowly as possible to make sure that they could capture every little detail.

Lorraine touched the wall with her hand, “An entire castle made of gold? Abel, that’s crazy!”

Abel tried to explain, “Well, Lorraine, I never expected to get so much gold from the battle with the Nation of Evil. And, you know, gold doesn’t have much practical use to people like us. Giving it away will just ruin the economy. I’m sure you understand. This building is really just to keep things under control.”

That was partly the reason. Abel had a fondness for rare metals in his previous life. Also, what better way to treat his elven girlfriend than keeping her inside a luxury home he built himself?

Lorraine found it difficult to remember everything that’s here, “That’s still too much, Abel! Even our temple’s warehouse doesn’t use this much ingredients!”

Abel tried to give a persuasive response, “The dwarves built this. They owed me a bunch of debt, so this is their way to pay me back.”

Lorraine became even more concerned, “What? How many potions do you need to make to pay for a castle like this? Have you been overworking yourself, Abel?”

Abel replied with a mysterious smile, “That’s where you are wrong, Lorraine. The dwarves haven’t paid me back in full yet.”

Lorraine couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Instead of hearing any more from him, she was brought to the other rooms, from the underground floor all the way to the top. She was absolutely amazed at the number of art pieces that were around. It was more than even the elven royal palace, and most people would expect them to only be available during special exhibition events.

Lorraine got a full view of the golden castle once she was on the top-level platform.

“This is beautiful!” Her eyes scanned. There was just so much to see that she had to spend minutes slowly observing them. Again, the golden castle was standing on top of the mountain. Since the Haden Mountain Range was home to the purple word tree, the elves had been trying their very best to claim this part of the area.

Abel pointed towards a spot he usually sat, “Are you tired, Lorraine? Why don’t we have a cup of juice?”

Lorraine sat down and took a sip, “It’d be great if we can just keep living here.”

Abel smiled towards her, “After you’ve reached adulthood, Lorraine, I’ll return to the Holy Continent and speak to your mother. I’ll ask for her permission to marry you. You’ll be able to live here when the time is right.”

Lorraine blushed quickly. Even though they had been a couple for a very long time, the furthest they got was some cuddling when they were flying in the sky. There were also ten more years before she was an adult. So it was going to take some time before they reach the point Abel was talking about.

Lorraine was a bit worried, “I can’t stay too far from the temple, Abel. What should I do?”

Abel smiled, “Don’t worry. This is the closest mountain range to the supreme-rulerdess Temple. With the teleportation circle, you’ll be able to go to any teleportation circle as you wish.”

He’s even thought more than this, to be honest. If he was becoming as strong as the Moon supreme-rulerdess, it might just be possible to have Loraine quit being the Sainte. She would be free by then. Of course, that would mean he had to reach legendary rank and have enough worship power control. He did have the “crystal angel statue” with him, and as long as his strength was on a continual increase, he trusted that the opportunity would come eventually.

Abel pointed towards the sky, “We’ll do this in the sky?”

Lorraine looked towards the sky and shook her head, “I can’t be up there when I’m wearing this, can I?”

“It’s not a flight that’s going to ruin your dress,” Abel smiled, “Circle spirit! Bring us to number one.”

Number one was one of the battle forts situated in the center of the octagonal hybrid circle. Once they were teleported, they found themselves in the sky that was above this particular building. They were stepping on top of the building, but the entire building was invisible to them.

Lorraine was speechless, “Am I standing in the sky right now, Abel?”

She was a little scared, but she tried to tap on the invisible ground she was standing on. This was about several hundred meters tall. After that, she became a lot less afraid, with Abel standing next to her. That’s when she could look at the entire golden castle. Unlike what they were looking at from the top-level platform of the golden castle, the view tended to look a lot more complete. She could see the entire golden castle, and she could even see the familiar building in the far distance.

“That’s the supreme-rulerdess Temple!” she noticed.

Abel nodded, “Yes, that’s the supreme-rulerdess Temple.”

After hearing the confirmation, a great sense of joy emerged from inside of Lorraine. She didn’t know that Abel really meant it when he said that the caste was close to where she lived. Usually, the word “close” would be around several hundred miles coming from the mouth of a law-defying wizard, but here, this was really no more than a few kilometers.

This was just how much Abel cared for Loraine. He knew that she had her priorities as the Sainte. It’s why he went the extra mile to build the castle to be so close. Of course, he didn’t have to care about what the temple was thinking, given how much status he had now, but he made sure not to make things difficult or awkward to his beloved one. He had been quiet this whole time, but he did his absolute best to show his love with actions.
