"Master Bennett, long time no see!" Master Mara, who was much younger, smiled softly and bowed to greet Abel.
"Master Mara, maybe you haven't seen me for a long time!" Abel bowed and said in return.
"Master Bennett, are there any new works recently?" Master Mara looked at Abel with some hope and asked.
"I have been busy with other things recently, and there are no new works. However, I will soon break through the intermediate alchemy pattern, and I have some questions that I would like to ask!" Abel replied with a smile.
He read a lot of records, and they all mentioned that it was very troublesome and difficult to break through the advanced alchemy patterns from the intermediate alchemy patterns, and Master Mara was the best answerer because of his rich experience.
"Congratulations. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!" Master Mara said with envy.
Only then did she think that Abel was an intermediate alchemist who was certified as an honorary alchemist master. She almost forgot about Abel's status as an intermediate alchemist because the level he had always shown made her feel inferior to herself. Abel's feelings.
And Abel is about to break through from an intermediate alchemist to a senior alchemist, and his level will be improved again.
Abel and Master Mara started chatting softly. Although there were many elven nobles or druids nearby who wanted to talk to the two alchemist masters, seeing that they were having a good conversation, no one could bother them.
As time went by, more and more elves came to the dinner party, and the sky gradually darkened. The elves present were all seated under the leadership of the servants.
Abel's position was arranged on the right side, not far from the owner. This position was considered the most noble position among all positions.
"The noble Grand Duke Edwina and the noble Duke Albert are here!" Butler Derek appeared in the hall, and then he sang loudly.
Then Her Royal Highness the Grand Duke Edwina and the noble Duke Albert walked into the hall arm in arm, and the hall fell silent instantly.
There are two reasons for being quiet. One is the respect for Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert, and the other reason is Duke Albert's appearance.
At this time, Duke Albert had a handsome face. If he had been more youthful, the elves present would have thought he was a young man.
Especially the elves present who were the same age as Duke Albert, the Duke Albert they saw seemed to be the young man in his prime many years ago.
Even if Grand Duke Edwina becomes younger, it will not surprise the elves as much as Duke Albert's current youth, because Grand Duke Edwina is a female elf and usually wears makeup when attending events, and her age will always change. Looks much younger.
Although she looked younger due to the 'beautiful potion', she only had a big influence among a few elves who were familiar with her.
But Duke Albert is different. He is a male elf. He can be said to be a semi-old man among elves. But today, this old elf has become a teenager. What does this mean
Elves have a natural and strong love for beauty, not to mention the pursuit of their own beautiful appearance. This is true for both male and female elves.
Abel suddenly felt that he had done something stupid, because at this time, the eyes of all the elves shifted from Duke Albert to him.
Only then did he remember that Duke Albert had become younger just after he came back. What did this mean? This meant that Duke Albert's youth was directly related to him.
No matter which elf he is, as long as he has a brain, he will think of the relationship between them. An honorary alchemist master, an alchemist master who often creates miracles, after returning from playing, this happened, it was not him or someone else!
Even Master Mara, who had just communicated with Abel, had doubts in his eyes at this time. Abel just said that there were no new works, and now Duke Albert appeared at the birthday dinner with such a young appearance. .
"Today is the birthday of my Duke, Duke Albert. Grand Duke Edwina and I are here to welcome you all to attend the birthday dinner. This is just a small birthday. Originally, I was not planning to celebrate, but Master Bennett happened to be far away. After returning from swimming, I just took this dinner to welcome Master Bennett, so as to welcome him and wash away his dust. Please pick up the wine glass!" Duke Albert, who was the protagonist of the dinner, said loudly, holding a crystal wine glass.
He was in particularly good spirits tonight. He felt the astonishing gazes of the elves present. He also felt that he and his wife, Grand Duke Edwina, were a perfect match. They were a young couple. It seemed that he had returned to his youthful relationship with Edwina. The days spent together with Archduke Dwina.
"Welcome Master Bennett, I like your gift very much!" Duke Albert said excitedly, raising the crystal wine glass.
Grand Duke Edwina watched from the side as Abel's face turned very ugly. She couldn't help but chuckle. She did not disturb Duke Albert, nor did she remind Duke Albert that he was too ugly today. Excited.
"Happy birthday to the distinguished Duke Albert, and welcome Master Bennett!" The elves in the hall raised their crystal wine glasses and shouted.
Abel raised his wine glass with a headache. He knew in his heart that after this dinner, he had better not appear in Anyost City again. Today's news will soon spread throughout Anyost City, and he can't guarantee it. What would these crazy elves do
He put the crystal wine glass to his mouth, shook his hand slightly, and a little red wine overflowed from the wine glass and wet his dress.
"I'm so rude and unseemly. I soiled my clothes. Butler Derek, take me to wash them!" Abel pointed at the wine stains on his body with an exaggerated expression, and said with regret, and then said to Butler Derek waved.
Butler Derek walked quickly to Abel, made a hand gesture and said: "Master Bennett, please come with me, I will prepare a new dress for you!"
"Excuse me, everyone!" Abel bowed and apologized, then followed Butler Derek towards the side door on the side of the hall.
As soon as he came out of the hall, Abel breathed a long sigh of relief. The looks of the elves in the hall were too scary, and Duke Albert was too hateful. He dared to say anything.
"Master Bennett, please come this way!" Butler Derek said, pointing to the cloakroom on the side.
"Butler Derek, where is the nearest teleportation circle here?" Abel suddenly asked.
"It's just after this corridor!" Although Butler Derek didn't understand what Abel meant, he still guided him in the direction.
"Well, Butler Derek, I just drank too much and I feel a little unwell, so tell Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert that I'm leaving first!" Abel finished quickly. Step by step towards the direction of the teleportation circle.
Butler Derek was stunned for a moment. What do you mean by drinking too much? This was his first glass of red wine. Half of it was not drunk and the other half was poured on his clothes.
But he would not stop Abel. He knew Abel's identity very well. In the Grand Duke's Mansion, the residence where Abel last lived until now was still reserved for Abel.
Not to mention that Abel left the Grand Duke's Palace through the teleportation circle and returned directly to the Austro-Asia Palace.
In the dinner hall, many elves had no intention of dining. Their eyes swept over the empty seats from time to time, thinking about how to buy the 'beautiful potion' from Abel.
Of course, among these elves, only a few elves with particularly distinguished status would have such thoughts. Most of the elves knew that it was impossible to mass-produce the 'beautiful potion'.
Among them, Master Mara especially understands the refining method of the 'Beauty-Resisting Potion'. The special nature of the Beauty-Resisting Grass means that this magical potion can only be refined immediately after collecting the Beauty-Resisting Grass.
Not to mention the difficulty of refining it, just saying that refining such a difficult potion in a place in the wild is a very difficult task in itself, and the number of failures will be far greater than refining it in an alchemy room.
At this moment, Butler Derek came in and whispered something in Duke Albert's ear, and then Duke Albert whispered something to Grand Duke Edwina with a strange expression.
"Everyone, Master Bennett left early today due to physical discomfort. He asked me to apologize to everyone on his behalf!" Grand Duke Edwina stood up and said in a deep voice.
There was no annoyance in her heart. Abel was right to be afraid of trouble. The 'beautiful potion' that Abel had refined had a special effect. This heaven-defying potion was already available to her and Duke Albert. Very lucky thing.
