Chapter 725: Chapter 461: Legendary Alchemist Philip – Part 2
Communication with the Elf Kingdom as well as seeking resources and other forms of support were the most important tasks for “Nature’s Wrath.”
Lis had entrusted all these tasks to Daphne.
Although Mil and Bella were older, they had only been members of the Elf Royal Court Guard before, so training other elves might be within their capabilities, but handling these tasks would be too much for them.
However, Daphne had given Lis a little surprise.
Although she had previously seemed naive, she was actually quite familiar with the affairs and processes related to the Elf Kingdom.
After Lis asked her, he found out that when she was in Elf Land, Adela had assigned many related tasks to Daphne as well, in order to train her abilities.
Now, they were proving useful!
Moreover, as the sister of the Elf Great Sage, many high-level elves knew and were even familiar with the Moon Elf Daphne. In the Elf Capital, there were almost no obstacles, though the situation at the Royal Court was temporarily not mentioned.
Daphne’s appearance symbolized the support of Elf Great Sage Adela for Lis.
As long as it wasn’t anything especially important, the Elf Council in Jade City did not hinder but fully supported her.
The applications and requests reported by Lis were all approved, just waiting for the allocation of resources.
However, throughout Jade City, aside from Cecil’s father, Igley, who had come once to express his gratitude and support, no high-level elf had come to meet Lis.
This made Lis somewhat curious.
Including the inheritance of the Illiser family, such vast wealth and resource support wouldn’t usually be handed over so easily, even by elves who aren’t particularly concerned with material wealth.
Especially the Illiser family’s inheritance in Jade City, including the “Nature’s Wrath” headquarters, plus over a dozen Jade City shops and warehouses valued at over a hundred thousand gold coins, and in addition, outside Jade City in the Elf Forest, several plots growing special transcendental medicinal herbs.
But now, these properties were quite swiftly and neatly handed over to Lis by the Elf Council in Jade City.
Even though Lis was an “Elf Sage” with the support of Elf Goddess Fenrilya and Elf Great Sage Adela, it shouldn’t be so direct, should it?
At the very least, there should have been a high-level elf visiting Lis, to communicate, exchange, and negotiate on related matters.
The attitude in Jade City was like, whatever you want, I give, then set you aside for the time being.
Lis was curious and wanted to wait and see what exactly Jade City was planning.
At that moment, an invitation was delivered to Lis.
Seeing the invitation, Lis was somewhat surprised.
It was a place he had visited before, why would a representative of the Jade City Elf Council want to meet him there?
…
Jade City, Philip’s General Store,
Lis stood in front of the shop, looking at this familiar place, and suddenly felt somewhat speechless.
The address written on the invitation was indeed here, which Lis had confirmed several times.
This was where he had obtained that arcane card and had received the Legendary Secret Treasure “Transformer’s Mask.”
Revisiting this place, Lis vaguely guessed—could it be that the store owner had deliberately left that arcane card there?
Was this the kind of mischief those idle elves enjoyed?
Lis shook his head and then pushed the door open and entered.
The general store was as usual, the goods as usual, randomly displayed…
However, this time the blond elf shopkeeper was not lying in the reclining chair at the back; instead, he stood in front of the cabinet on the right side of the shop, smiling at Lis.
“Welcome, Sage Lis!”
“I am the owner of this general store, and also a representative of the Jade City Elf Council, Philip Scalia.”
When Lis saw the blond elf for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said respectfully,
“It’s an honor to meet you, His Highness Scalia!”
Indeed, the first time they met, Lis had only sensed a Silver Rank aura from this blond elf.
But now, although the aura emanating from Philip was faint and subtle, it was indeed that of a Legendary Rank.
Lis was certain, as he had met numerous legendary strongmen, and even one legendary had fallen by his hand.
He certainly wouldn’t mistake it!
In that case, it could be confirmed that the arcane card Lis obtained from this grocery store was indeed the handiwork of the Legendary Crown.
Especially since he was standing right in front of the shelf from which Lis had taken the arcane card, his presence almost certainly indicated this.
It was unexpected for an Elf Legend to be running a grocery store here, which truly surprised Lis.
However, considering that becoming a Legend could directly make one an Elf Elder, naturally, he would also be a member of the Elf Council in Jade City.
Although Lis himself now held the identity of an Elf Sage, in some sense possessing an equal status and position as the Elf Legend, he definitely could not delve too much into this matter.
After all, the Legendary Strongman was definitely much stronger than Lis in terms of power.
Even now, Lis had no confidence in directly confronting a Legendary Strongman.
“Sage Lis, no need to be so formal,” he said.
Contrary to the impatient attitude he showed during their last meeting, Philip’s face revealed a hint of a smile as he sized up Lis.
Especially after sensing the faint presence of the World Tree around Lis, the smile on his face deepened even more.
“We are aware of your actions at the Elf Royal Court, and we are very thankful for the help you provided at such a critical time,” he said.
“I truly admire it; after all, that was Demogorgon!”
Philip leaned in toward Lis, sighing slightly as he spoke.
Even he would have had difficulty handling it as well as Lis did against the Divine Incarnation.
Therefore, as for Lis being granted the identity of an Elf Sage by the goddess, Philip did not harbor the aversion or discomfort others might.
“I merely did what I could,” he said.
Lis shook his head; if only he could have completely stopped Demogorgon’s plan.
Now, although he had received the baptism of the World Tree and the identity of a Sage, he also took on even greater responsibilities.
Everything he did now was aimed at better preventing the invasion of the Endless Abyss in the future.
Philip didn’t mind, and chuckled as he spoke to Lis:
“When I found out the person who bought the arcane card from me was you, I thought it was quite a coincidence, so I decided to come and meet you representing the Elf Council.”
Philip didn’t ask Lis what he had obtained from that arcane card, as that was Lis’s secret.
Even he couldn’t see through the seal of the arcane card to view its contents.
“Come, let’s go upstairs,” he said.
Philip led Lis toward the second floor.
As Lis stepped onto the second floor of the store, he suddenly felt as if he had crossed the boundaries of time and space, presenting before him an awe-inspiring sight.
The previously anticipated cramped and narrow upper floor was completely overturned at this moment; the space miraculously expanded, transforming into a spacious, bright, and lavish Alchemy Palace.
The ceiling, high above their heads, was made of a transparent material embedded with luminous gemstones, through which soft light filtered down, embellishing the whole space in both a dreamlike and mysterious aura.
The surrounding walls were not made of ordinary brick and stone, but of Alchemy runes that glowed faintly, interweaving in a way that seemed alive, slowly moving about and infusing the entire space with an endless vitality and an air of wisdom.
In the center, a vast Alchemy Workshop area unfolded, with various alchemical creations neatly arrayed, each emitting its own unique glow and presence.
Some were delicate Alchemy Jewelry, their embedded gemstones shifting colors with the changing light;
Some were huge Alchemy Machines, standing silently as if they were guardians of this domain, their complex structures revealing the unrivaled wisdom and skill of their creator.
Even more wondrous were the Alchemy animals, some with transparent wings fluttering in the air; others, armored beasts, their eyes twinkling with intelligence as they leisurely strolled through the palace.
Amid his astonishment, Lis could confirm that this was not Space Transmission but rather an extension and expansion of space achieved through a special Space Technique.
Such Space Techniques were configured in the basement of the First Magic Workshop under Mr. Stephens.
Yet, this was a more advanced application of Space Techniques, which Lis could not yet accomplish.
“Welcome to my palace!”
“I hope you like it here!”
The Legendary Alchemist Philip said with a smile.
