So, Philip’s proposal was exactly what Lis had in mind.
Seeing that Lis agreed without hesitation to his request, Philip was quite relieved.
After all, no one wanted to move against Lis at this time—the World Tree Favored and the Elf Sage.
Even the conservative elves of the Elf Capital thought the same.
Though Lis was human, his status was of a far more exalted being,
and without an oracle from the Elf Gods, no one was willing to target Lis.
This was also why the people of the Elf Capital chose to give Lis the cold shoulder.
“So, it seems I’ve only heard rumors and am still unclear about what exactly happened to you in the Elf Royal Court, Lis?”
“If it’s convenient, would you mind talking to me about it?”
Having reached a consensus, Philip smoothly changed the subject.
For him and Lis, as long as the general direction was set, the rest could be left to others and there was no need for the two of them to worry.
Lis didn’t mind and simply started chatting with the Legendary Alchemist before him about the things he had seen at the time.
…
“That Demon Prince must have planned for a long time, and who knows when he started targeting the Elf Royal Court,” Philip remarked with some emotion after listening to Lis’s account of the events at the Elf Royal Court.
“It’s also a mystery how he managed to deceive the All Gods.”
Lis shook his head, which was one of the things that puzzled him as well.
“It’s because of this reason, including conducting internal checks in the Royal Capital, to see if similar events had occurred,” Philip said, shaking his head with a wry smile:
“After all, no one would have believed that the clan leader of the Illiser Family was disguised as the Demon Prince before this.”
Lis nodded slightly, without responding.
It was an internal matter of the Elf Kingdom, and he didn’t feel it was his place to comment too much,
but a thorough internal cleansing of the Elf Kingdom’s upper echelons and the Elf Gods was certain.
If the clan leader of the Illiser Family could be silently replaced by the Demon Prince, with the defense strength of the Elf Royal Court, it was impossible to be destroyed without a sound.
“The power of the Abyss Demons is indeed too erosive, and it’s difficult to guard against,” Philip said as he set down his teacup and looked at Lis.
“With Nature’s Wrath upon us, are you prepared for how to find and eliminate the Abyss Demons?”
“Of course,” Lis nodded with certainty.
He was, after all, an expert who had been through all the major events in every version and naturally knew many methods to deal with the Abyss Demons.
However…
Lis looked at the Legendary Alchemist in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to mind.
“Your Highness Philip, if I can produce magic items targeted at Abyss Demons, could you help to make a batch and provide them to Nature’s Wrath?”
“Of course, that wouldn’t be a problem,” Philip replied, nodding at Lis.
As an exceedingly rare Legendary Alchemist, this was not a troublesome matter for him.
He could craft Legendary Rank magic items, let alone mass-produced equipment and items for the elves.
And he had no intention of asking for any payment.
Over the long years, his amassed wealth as a Legendary Alchemist was incredibly vast, or else he wouldn’t have opened a shop to casually pass the time.
But the destruction of the Elf Royal Court was no ordinary event, and he was willing to make an extra effort.
Moreover, Lis was very much to his liking.
“I can’t thank you enough,” Lis said, expressing his gratitude:
“I’ll send over the Alchemy Diagram as soon as I return.”
The reason Lis did not present it now was that the Alchemy Diagram still resided in his mind and not as a physical object.
Generally speaking, against Abyss Demons, possessing strong order attributes like [Holy], [Purification], [Light] is more advantageous.
The Church of the Gods usually has its own exclusive armed forces, which are not only effective against Abyss Demons but also have very good effects on Extraordinary Monsters from evil factions like Devils and Undead.
The diagrams in Lis’s hands, however, are somewhat different.
—————
[Alchemy Tools: [Flesh Seed]
Introduction: A special seed created through advanced alchemy, it is extremely desperate for flesh and blood. Upon contact with any flesh, it can quickly take root and germinate, producing blood-colored tendrils that bind and drain the target’s flesh energy, very dangerous!]
…
[Alchemy Tools: [Sanctified Scepter]
Introduction: With Holy Spirit Gem and purification crystal as the core, it can maintain a certain area (determined by the user’s strength) to keep the environmental status, purify abnormal breath, and its duration is related to the scepter’s absorption capacity limit.]
—————
Lis mastered many alchemy diagrams for fighting Abyss Demons, and these two kinds were the most commonly and effectively used in his previous life.
The Flesh Seed is a very special alchemy tool. Once it is successfully refined, its extreme hunger for flesh energy makes it dangerous even to the user.
If there’s no protection and the body directly touches this grey-black seed, it will immediately “come to life.”
Most Abyss Demons possess extremely strong physiques, after all, weak beings can hardly survive in the Endless Abyss.
This is also what makes dealing with Abyss Demons quite troublesome.
The Flesh Seed targets this very characteristic of Abyss Demons. As long as there is flesh energy to draw from, the tendrils generated by the seed will continuously regenerate, weakening their strength while also binding their movements.
The Sanctified Scepter is even more special. Often, the appearance of Abyss Demons is accompanied by an Abyss Channel or a Demon’s Gate.
The Sanctified Scepter, while purifying the Abyss Breath and protecting the user from negative statuses, also weakens the state of Abyss Demons.
With this diminishing advantage, it can effectively enhance the advantage over Abyss Demons.
All these were the most effective alchemy tools in the battles against Abyss Demons in his previous life, but they all require a high level of alchemy skill.
Although Lis hasn’t yet met the requirements to make them, there definitely won’t be any problem for Philip, who is a Legendary Alchemist.
After all, Lis can’t always ask Mr. Stephens to help make these, right?
These are mass-produced special alchemy tools, and there are more powerful alchemy tools that Lis is not yet prepared to bring out.
Now is not the time!
Afterwards, Lis bid farewell to Philip, rose, and left the Alchemy Palace.
…
Philip sat on the armchair in the palace, and the Alchemy parrot chattered as it flew over, settling on his shoulder.
“World Tree Favored…”
Philip sighed, seemingly deep in thought.
Suddenly, he stood up, and a faint grey light emerged from his body.
All at once, the entire palace seemed as if time had hit the pause button, all alchemy creations ceased their actions, everything became still and mysterious.
Philip’s body began to tremble slightly, and the delicate and transparent outer skin slowly peeled away from him.
As the skin was shed, the originally soft flesh was replaced by hard metal, yet the chill and weight didn’t affect its beauty.
On the contrary, the metal-crafted body appeared even more dazzling in the morning light, with every line smooth and perfect, as if it were the epitome of nature’s and artificial intelligence’s perfect crystallization.
Its body, forged from an unknown grey metal, gleamed with a warm luster under the light, both profound and brilliant.
The grey Puppet’s surface was intricately carved with fine patterns, the lines smooth and elegant, resembling the veins of the natural world or the trajectory of ancient runes, exuding a powerful, heart-capturing magic fluctuation.
The head construction of the Alchemy Puppet was particularly exquisite, with rare gemstones inlaid in the eyes, sparkling with wisdom and an icy glow.
A golden-haired Elf appeared out of nowhere, yet his face was identical to Philip’s.
Philip looked at his most important creation in front of him and shook his head slightly:
“It shouldn’t be, how could it have been discovered?”
“Alolo didn’t notice, how did he see it wasn’t right before he even ascended to Legendary?”
“Could it be that the World Tree Favored has other hidden abilities?”
“Could there be other secrets hidden within him…”
“Perhaps it’s for the better, after all, not even the gods can see the future clearly anymore, who knows what will happen?”
