Standing at the entrance of Philip’s Grocery Store,
Lis turned around for one last look at the unassuming grocery behind him, who would know that it concealed the magical palace of a legendary alchemist?
In retrospect, the fact that he had obtained from this very store an arcane card hiding the [Transformer’s Mask] in his previous life, his luck was indeed quite remarkable!
Withdrawing his gaze, Lis headed towards the headquarters of [Nature’s Wrath], today’s gains could truly be said to be substantial.
From now on, he and [Nature’s Wrath] could count on the full support of Jade City, which was exactly what he had hoped for.
After all, compared to the inactive Elf King in Andor City, the more open-minded and inclusive Jade City was definitely more suitable for him.
Lis had no desire to get involved in the internal strife of the Elf Kingdom. Even with the status of an Elf Sage, getting tangled up would certainly not end well for him.
He didn’t believe that the Elf Great Sage Adela was unaware of such ideological conflicts within the Elf Kingdom; if even she hadn’t expressed a position, why should Lis bother with such matters?
He was merely a mage who hadn’t yet ascended to the legendary rank, it was best not to think too much.
Building up [Nature’s Wrath] was enough to achieve his goals.
Moreover, the appearance of the legendary alchemist Philip had taken Lis by surprise. Having become a favored of the World Tree Yggdrasil, he was quite sensitive to the presence of life essences.
On Philip, even though there was indeed the presence of a legendary aura, Lis did not sense any sign of life essence.
In other words, the Philip that had just appeared before Lis might not be a living creature, akin to the alchemy creatures in the Alchemy Palace.
At first, Lis was a bit puzzled, but after remembering Philip’s identity, he didn’t think much of it.
For an alchemist, creating a puppet with a legendary rank strength identical to oneself wasn’t too absurd.
Lis hadn’t felt any hostility from Philip, and that was enough for him.
Phew~
The near future might be quite busy!
Lis shook his head slightly and set off on the way back.
…
Because the Elf Kingdom had sealed off the news of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court and dispatched Elf Warriors to guard its ruins, even though various rumors spread far and wide, none were confirmed.
Most of the residents of the Elf Kingdom and the merchants passing through had some concerns, but as time went on with no similar news emerging, they gradually stopped worrying as they had before.
This was also the intention of the Elf Kingdom, to minimize the impact of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court as much as possible.
The news of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court couldn’t be concealed by the Elf Kingdom for too long and was bound to be disclosed, but the specifics of what had happened became the top-secret of the Elf Kingdom.
Especially the message about the World Tree Yggdrasil being contaminated by the Abyss Power; the Elf Kingdom would absolutely not make it public.
Because of this, Lis’s identity as both a favored of the World Tree and an Elf Sage would not be known to the common folk for some time.
This posed some difficulties for [Nature’s Wrath] in recruiting members.
As a Human, Lis’s identity as an Elf Sage might or might not prove useful within the Elf Kingdom, but his status as a favored of the World Tree would definitely attract the attention of all Elves.
Even the Dark Elves living in the Underground City are no exception, regardless of how many branches the Elf Clan divides into, tracing back to their origin, all Elves share the World Tree Yggdrasil as their ancestor.
Thus, a favored of the World Tree, never before seen in a thousand millennia, would definitely receive a lot of support from the Elves once recognized by the Elf Kingdom.
However, the sudden emergence of a favored of the World Tree would certainly draw the attention of other extraordinary forces.
The Elf Kingdom would surely communicate with the high echelons of the True God Church about the Demon Prince Demogorgon’s plans to destroy the Elf Royal Court and contaminate the World Tree.
The actual situation couldn’t be hidden.
The battle between the Elf Main God Correlon and Demon Prince Demogorgon outside Gaia World in the void had drawn the attention of the vast majority of deities.
Even without knowing the contamination of the World Tree, but considering the Demon Prince’s far-reaching conspiracies, the Elf Kingdom had to inform the True God Church of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court to get their assistance.
It was just like Lis had discussed with Philip.
What can be affirmed is that for those Evil God believers, the destruction of the Elf Royal Court was undoubtedly a strong stimulant.
The chaos they longed for and anticipated was truly arriving!
Therefore, at this moment, Lis supported the Elf Kingdom’s temporary secrecy to the common folk about the true state of the Elf Royal Court and his identity as a favored of the World Tree.
First, he wasn’t a vain person; rather than the prestige that came with being a favored of the World Tree, it was more appropriate to get his hands on tangible benefits.
Second, it was also to avoid the covetousness of those Evil God believers. To kill a favored of the World Tree would be the most thrilling achievement for those chaotic and evil believers of the Evil God.
Not even a favored of the World Tree could escape their pursuit, this would undoubtedly attract more fear and awe from the common people towards the Evil God.
The effect would surely be as good as sacrificing an entire city-state with tens of thousands of people!
Though Lis wasn’t worried about the attacks of those Evil God believers, they would inevitably delay his plans.
