Chapter 1103 - 645: Zhao Zhao Once Again Becomes a Tool
This was originally an opportunity for the Dawn Church to expand its influence, but now it seems Morris is somewhat disturbed by the sudden news brought by Lis.
This is understandable. Even though he is a Legendary Priest and the Archbishop of Dawn Church, it’s certainly hard to accept such matters when first hearing about the long-term plans concerning the Endless Abyss and Demon Prince Demogorgon.
After all, the appearance of such a hidden danger indicates that Demogorgon has left so many contingencies intact despite centuries of opposition from the Church of the Gods; it’s indeed difficult to believe all at once.
If Lis were not a World Tree Favored, Morris would not believe what Lis had to say at all.
But now, Morris must trust Lis. As long as there is the slightest possibility, the Church of the Gods must seize this opportunity to mend the fence after losing the sheep.
Lis predicted this mentality of the Church of the Gods and therefore shared his previous experiences and the knowledge from his past life with Morris.
Even though the Church of the Gods and Lis may not be the closest allies, facing the threat of the Endless Abyss and Demon Prince Demogorgon as common enemies pushes their mutual trust further.
"Morris, since you are already here, it means the time for the mutation to begin is not far off."
Lis stood up and walked to the window, looking at the prosperous Danerluo Port below the castle, and said softly:
"In this case, there’s no rush."
"You can communicate and exchange ideas with the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Storm Lord Church, but don’t cause too much conflict at this time."
Lis was very clear that he had witnessed too many "murky" scenes in his past life.
The Church of the Gods might outwardly maintain appearance and amiability, but underneath, the competition over followers was fierce enough to be ridiculous.
In fact, powerful Divine Churches like the Dawn Church and the Earth Church fared slightly better, while the most intense and violent competition was between entities like the Church of the Ocean Goddess and the Storm Lord Church.
With the Phillips Crystal about to descend now, Lis didn’t want these churches fighting on his turf.
Morris listened to Lis’s words and naturally understood the implied warning.
However, they did not mind. Lis was no longer the unknown Court Viscount of the Feis Kingdom.
As a Legendary Mage, Lord of the Kane Floating City, and World Tree Favored, any of these identities deserved Morris’s attention.
Moreover, although Morris’s leading the Dawn Church’s group through Danerluo Port wasn’t targeting Lis, Lis had every right to offer a few warnings.
After all, this was in Lis’s territory. Let’s not even mention the few Legendary Auras Morris sensed earlier; just the azure Floating City above could give the Dawn Church’s Archbishop a significant headache.
Therefore, Morris had no objections to Lis’s warning and instead prepared to give more support to Lis from the Dawn Church subsequently.
Now, Lis had begun to demonstrate his value in combating the Endless Abyss, worthy of continued investment by the Church of the Gods.
Seeing Morris implicitly agree to his requests, Lis said nothing more.
The Church of the Gods was still a party he wanted to win over, especially since Lis would need the support of the Church of the Gods in the upcoming version 3.0.
Lis did not continue speaking, his gaze sweeping over the streets below Kane Castle, suddenly noticing Zhao Zhao and others peeking around at the castle, as if waiting for something.
Judging by the looks of it, they seemed to have followed the Dawn Church’s group over a moment ago.
Did they notice Morris?
Or due to another reason?
Lis took a glance at the awaiting Zhao Zhao and others, a slight smile forming on his lips.
To be honest, the recent performance of Embers of the Fire and others in the first professional league in the Huaxia District was great advertising for Lis and Danerluo Port.
Plus, with the first-place Kunlun team having their headquarters right in Danerluo Port, the Huaxia District players’ attention was drawn there all at once.
Coincidentally, with the only Floating City on the Fanor continent located here, many players hurried to Danerluo Port from afar.
This was a golden opportunity for Lis’s fields of development, and he certainly didn’t want to be unprepared.
Lis was contemplating how to prepare, but Morris’s arrival served as a reminder.
With version 2.0 about to end, what could capture the attention and curiosity of players more than the intelligence concerning version 3.0?
Get to work!
Lis glanced at Morris beside him and, after a moment’s thought, returned from the window.
...
Zhao Zhao, Mo Yun, and others waited outside the Duke Kain Castle, keeping an eye on whether the Dawn Church’s group would emerge from the castle while casually chatting.
"What do you think the next version will be like? It’s only a few days away from the update, and not even a shred of a trailer has been released."
Si Lu threw little stones at the opposite wall, asking with some confusion.
"Honestly, I’m curious too."
Ice Valley thought for a moment and spoke with a puzzled tone:
"Divine Revelation says the next version will be the world server, and apart from a very few players who traveled by ocean-going merchant ships to other continents, the vast majority of players remain on their birthplace continent."
"What could allow us to meet players from other continents?"
"Surely, they wouldn’t just directly teleport and merge several continents together?"
