Chapter 274 Carrie’s Invitation

After a while, Grand Duke Edwina returned the transformation necklace to Abel. “It’s ok now. I got rid of the Orc’s pattern and etched the spell on top of it. You can connect your power of will with it. From now on, you can transform without any scent leaking out!”

Abel reached his power of the will into the necklace. First, a spell appeared. After he memorized it, it disappeared. Afterward, he reached his power of will into the core of the necklace. A ray of green light began to flash, and it slowly began to get absorbed into his skin.

Abel felt a bit weird as he reached his hand towards the emplacement, where he put the necklace. Although his hand didn’t feel anything, his power of the will could still sense the necklace was on his neck. Not only that, but their connections were even stronger.

A spell was the elite elves’ language, and Abel had said it without putting in any effort. Afterward, some choices appeared within his power of the will. It included humans, Orcs, and elves. He could even select the appearance according to his own desire, randomly or even the ones he vaguely remembered.

After Grand Duke Edwina broke the pattern of the Orcs, the spell in which the transformation necklace could be used had gotten even more powerful. At that moment, Abel didn’t spend too much time looking into the different features of the transformation necklace. Instead, he just directly transformed back to his elf appearance.

“Thank you, Grand Duke Edwina!” Abel bowed with gratitude.

“Abel, if you must go to the elf’s alchemist union. If it was not you who became a Master Alchemist, I would not give the ability of the transformation necklace to you. According to the legend, the transformation necklace was made to assist the goddess of moon travel between different races. Its usage has always been controlled by the Royal elves. The scariest thing about the transformation necklace is that it can hide its scent during a transformation!” Said Grand Duke Edwina looking at Abel’s helpless face. If her little daughter did not fall in love with Abel, she would have taken back the necklace. She would have never told Abel about its proper usage.

Hiding a scent was actually a very scary ability. Abel was also very suspicious if Ms. Carrie had something with a scent hiding ability. When someone had this ability, they could easily get close to an extremely sensitive professional without being spotted. For example, sometimes, Ms. Carrie could just appear next to Abel out of nowhere without his commander senses being triggered. If an assassin had this ability, they would be like a lion with wings. No one would be able to expect their presence.

After Abel resigned from Grand Duke Edwina, he was getting ready to go back to the Grand Ducal palace to meet up with Master Mara. Suddenly, Ms. Carrie emerged from behind.

“Abel, I heard you are seeking some techniques to raise a blue howling rabbit?” She said with a calm, monotone voice.

“Yes, Ms. Carrie. I wanna see if I can actually raise one!” Abel said with a little nod. She had most likely got this news from the Grand Ducal palace’s steward, Derek.

“Actually the Grand Ducal palace has a servant who grasped the technique to raise blue howling rabbits. I’ll take you to him!” She said to Abel with a hint of friendliness, which was hard to see.

In the garden of the Grand Ducal palace, Abel saw the old elf Ms. Carrie had mentioned. At that moment, that old elf was looking after the flowers. From the linen clothing on his body, it seemed like he was the Grand Ducal palace’s gardener.

“That is Old Mund; he knows how to raise a blue howling rabbit. You can go talk to him!” Said Carrie pointing towards the old elf.

Abel could not sense a single bit of mana or an impose from practicing combat qi. It seemed like he was just an ordinary old elf. Also, Abel could sense this old elf’s life force was not strong, like he was reaching the near end of his life.

“Hello Old Mund. Can you talk to me about the technique of raising a blue howling rabbit?” Abel said with a slight bow towards Old Mund.

“Mr, I’m only the Grand Ducal palace’s gardener. You are too polite; you only need to ask directly if you want to know anything.” Old Mund was a little shocked, so he quickly waved his hand around. When he heard about the technique of raising a blue howling rabbit, he couldn’t help but turned his head towards Ms. Carrie, waiting for her confirmation.

“It’s ok, Old Mund. Go ahead, just answer that ever Lord Bennett asks!” Said Ms. Carrie nodding her head.

“Yes!” Old Mund said with a bow. Afterward, he turned his head back to Abel and said: “Mr, when I was young, many big noble palaces had raised some Blue Howling Rabbit, and I’ve been a breeder ever since.”

When Abel heard that many nobles had raised a blue

“Mr, blue howling rabbit raising was banned many years ago!” Old Mund explained.

“Why? Blue howling rabbit is the number 1 cuisine of the Double Moon Forest.”Abel asked.

“A magic circle needs to be set up in a blue howling rabbit’s inhabitant to make sure they can grow up properly in a mana filled environment. The grass they eat also needs to grow within a magic circle. This would need countless mana gems in the course of 2 months, which is how long it will take for a blue howling rabbit to mature. Because of this, it is extremely costly to grow a blue howling rabbit. On top of that, mana gems are a Druid’s resource, so the elf parliament had banned them. Even the Grand Ducal palace had to stop raising them.” Old Mund explained with a hint of sorrow, thinking about the old days.

“What if I want to raise a blue howling rabbit?” Abel got straight to the point.

“Err....” Old Mund looked at Ms. Carrie again, and she nodded. Old Mund then followed, “You must first need a medium size mana gathering circle and some already formed baby blue howling rabbit. You also need some specialized breeder.”

Suddenly Carrie interrupted Old Mund, “We could help you find a medium-size and some baby blue howling rabbits. In regards to a specialized breeder, Old Mund is very experienced. The only thing we needed from you was a flash of light blue beauty potion!” Carrie stared at Abel with a yearning for some beauty potion. With Abel’s skill as an alchemist. Those normal conditioners and lotion he made held immense power. He was just unsure how powerful his beauty potion would be.

“Ms. Carrie. It’s not that I don’t want to make a beauty potion, I just don’t have the ingredients!” Abel said while shaking his head. By this point, he realized Ms. Carrie wanted to use some blue howling rabbits to exchange some beauty potions.

“Our squad will be heading out for a mission soon. Some beauty grass is grown there. You can come with us!” Ms. Carrie really wanted a beauty potion, so she invited Abel with excitement.

“Ms. Carrie, do you really need me? Can’t you just bring some back directly?”Abel stared at Ms. Carrie with a puzzled look. She was an intermediate druid, what was the purpose of Abel coming along? An intermediate druid’s mission was probably too dangerous for him anyway, so he quickly rejected.

“Don’t you know that those beauty grass can only have an effect if they are used right after picked?” Ms. Carrie didn’t understand Abel’s look. Abel was a Master Alchemist. There was no way he didn’t know about the beauty grass’s characteristics.

Abel really wanted to argue back. He had not learned alchemy for long. He only know about those ingredients from the formula. He didn’t know their characteristics.

Who could have guessed even an elf with a big attitude like Ms. Carrie would activity help Abel connect with a blue howling rabbit breeder for some beauty potions. Actually, Abel didn’t know that Ms. Carrie had reached the point in her life where her looks would soon start degrading. That’s why she was so desperate for some beauty potions. Especially when she heard that Abel had become a Master Alchemist, her trust for Abel had grown a lot.

“Give it a thought Abel. Our squad will head out in a week!” Said Carrie seeing Abel’s contemplation. She then looked towards Old Mund and said, “Write down all the things required to raise a blue howling rabbit and give it to Derek. From now on you no longer need to work in the garden, just focus all your time on this!”

Afterward, Ms. Carrie gave a slight bow and left.

Seeing the deeply shocked look on the old gardener’s face, Abel waved his hand and left. Since the elves could raise blue howling rabbits in the past, he could definitely do it as well. As long as he could mass breed them, he could have a stable supply of crystal cores.
