Abe the Wizard - Chapter 737
Chapter 737: Master Alfred
The alchemy union in Angstrom City was lit because of Abel. Although Abel had physically left the elves for many years, his influence remained. Instead, he had gotten more famous due to his endless supply of alchemy work.
Abel decided to have lunch at the alchemy union’s dining hall. Although his mansion was in Angstrom City, he still needed some help from the alchemy union.
He was confident in regards to fulfilling his elite alchemy pattern, but he didn’t have enough of the potion formula.
In the past, he would disregard these multipurpose potion formulas since he rarely needed them. He had way better potions on him.
However, since he gained a Duchy, his knight and wizards also relied on him to supply potions.
The alchemy level in the human world was low in the first place, and Abel’s status was a grandmaster Blacksmith. He did not have permission to get any formula from the human alchemy union.
As he walked towards the dining hall, he realized that many alchemists were already having their lunch there.
Alchemists were like the nerds of Abel’s past life. They spent most of their time in their room and ate at a dining hall, so they didn’t need to cook and wash dishes. This was why the alchemy union dining hall had attracted so many alchemists.
“Master Bennett!” When Abel walked across an alchemist, he quickly stood up and bowed.
Abel also respectfully bowed back. He was a master alchemist by honor, so of course, he would get special treatment. Not long after he stepped in, a female elf waitress stepped up and bowed, “Master Bennett, please have a seat. What can I get you today?”
“Anything, no special requirements!” Abel sat down and replied with a smile.
Soon, the elf waitress brought on his lunch. It was a few pieces of cut fruit, a plate of fruit sauce, and a glass of juice.
All the fruits were exotic. Even the juice was made with the extremely expensive water spirit fruit. Everything in this meal was expensive.
Abel couldn’t do anything about it. He realized eating here was a mistake. There was no meat, no bread. These things were not satisfying for a human stomach at all.
“Thank you!” Abel still said to the elf waitress with a gaze of excitement.
Seeing the elf waitress happily walking off, he turned his gaze back to his lunch. It was his responsibility; now, he had to finish it in pain.
In the dining hall, it was almost like all areas surrounding Abel were forbidden. No elf approached him, most likely because of his status.
Most of these elves were just alchemists. They could only admire a master alchemist from afar.
As Abel was putting a piece of fruit in his mouth, he noticed Master Alfred sitting in front of him. Master Alfred said with a smile, “Master Bennett, I heard you came back, and I was looking for you!”
“Master Alfred, you were looking for me?” Abel quickly put down the piece of fruit and replied.
“I am here to discuss the payment for your alchemy works on behalf of the alchemy union!” Master Alfred said as he waved a glass of juice over from a waitress.
Abel suddenly remembered. He had been sending lotions and conditioner to the alchemy union, but he had never discussed the price with them.
He didn’t have much feeling towards gold coins, and those lotions and conditioners took him almost no time to make. That was why he had forgotten all about it.
“Master Alfred, why did they send you?” Abel asked in confusion.
“I want you to increase your supply of lotion and conditioner. Your work is too popular, and we can’t match the demand. It puts the Angstrom City Alchemy Union in an awkward situation!” Master Alfred said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
Abel didn’t know how much his lotion and conditioner had exploded. He was just making those potions according to the number the alchemy union requested before he left.
However, that number was far below the demand of Angstrom City, let alone the entire elf race.
The Angstrom City Alchemy Union couldn’t find a way to contact Abel. They wanted to contact him through the grand-ducal palace, but they got ignored because all the druids in the palace had enough elven perfume to use.
The grand-ducal palace would not bother Abel for any more alchemy work. Grand Duke Edwina, Duke Albert, and Lady Carrie knew Abel’s past identity. They didn’t want to affect Abel’s training too much.
The Angstrom City Alchemy Union was so happy for Abel’s arrival, but normal elves didn’t have enough status to request an increase in supply from Abel. Therefore, Master Alfred was the perfect candidate.
“No problem; I can increase my production, but I have a request!” Abel was just looking for a core member of the alchemy union to discuss potion formulas. Now the perfect opportunity was right in front of him.
“Master Bennett, please speak. You are a master in the alchemy union as well. The union will try their best to satisfy you!” Master Alfred replied. He was so happy. The overwhelming demand for lotion and conditioner had made him very stressed these days. As long as Abel agreed, he could discuss anything.
“Master Alfred, I want some potion formulas in exchange!” Abel said bluntly.
“Master Bennett, no one ever explained to you what being a master Alchemist by honor signified? Master Alfred couldn’t help but laugh, and he then added, “the alchemy union potion formula is public to all master alchemists by honor!”
Abel was caught off guard. He was not expecting this at all. No one had ever told him.
It was common sense, but Abel learned his alchemy skills from Lady Lorraine. She was not an alchemist. All she did was taught Abel some basic alchemy method.
Abel had discovered everything by himself, and he was granted the title of the master alchemist by honor not long after he became famous, so of course, this wasn’t explained to him.
“Master Alfred, where can I find the formula?” Abel asked.
“Master Bennett, let’s discuss the payment for your past alchemy work first. Then I’ll take you to see the formulas!” Master Alfred took out a magic gold card and said.
“I don’t need gold coins. Can you give me potion ingredients instead?” Abel did not take out his own magic gold card.
“Of course, just go to see the assistants in the hall and say you want potion ingredients instead. They will help you. You can get more. We’ll just deduct it from your future supply!” Said master Alfred with a big laugh.
“So, can you take me to see the formula now?” Abel couldn’t wait.
“Of course, Master Bennett, follow me!” Master Alfred saw how desperate Abel was. He could sympathize with him, so he laughed and stood up.
Abel couldn’t care less if he finished his food or not. He took out a blue howling rabbit flavored hunger potion and poured it into his mouth. He was finally full.
But even if he had finished his food, he would drink a bottle of hunger potion. These fruits were just too unsatisfying.
Master Alfred saw Abel’s movement. That blue howling rabbit flavor hunger potion caught his attention. He sniffed with his nose.
“Master Bennett, can I take a look at that hunger potion?” Master Alfred asked.
“Of course!” Abel took out another bottle of blue howling rabbit flavored hunger potion and handed it to Master Alfred.
