Chapter 747 -472: Communication and Cooperation_2
“Hello, Lord Eng.”
Lis nodded to the elderly man.
“Lord Morris had mentioned you to me, but by the time I returned to Bright City, you had already set off for your domain.”
“I didn’t expect to meet you here; I initially thought it was someone with the same name!”
Ulysses said with a smile, his aged face smoothing out somewhat.
He was quite happy when he discovered that the new Favored of the World Tree was Duke Kane of the Feis Kingdom.
Moreover, this Lis Kain was highly regarded by Lord Morris, who had invested in him in advance.
Currently, a squad of Dawn Knights under Ulysses was still in the Duke’s domain, assisting in eliminating the magic beasts and spreading the faith of the God of Dawn!
The close connections between the Dawn Church, the Feis Kingdom, and the Duke made Ulysses look at Lis with a sense of kinship.
Lord Morris indeed had a far-reaching vision!
“I have always been thankful for Lord Morris’s help!”
Lis nodded, speaking to Ulysses.
“The Lord Morris you’re speaking of, is he the [Holy Light] Lord?”
Bishop Gloria from the Earth Temple asked with a smile, her gaze filled with curiosity.
“Of course.”
Ulysses nodded, then added:
“This Lord Lis is Duke Kane of the Feis Kingdom and also a disciple of [Judgement Flame] Lord Stephens.”
“I see…”
The crowd’s expressions shifted slightly upon hearing this news.
Others might not be fully aware, but the name of the Legendary Arcanist [Judgement Flame] Stephens was well-known to everyone.
Daphne hadn’t thought too much about it, her eyes sparkling as she looked towards Lis.
A Duke, huh?
That sounds very impressive!
Especially for Julian, it was a strength comparable to that of the Elf Great Sage Lord Adela.
Does this mean that Lis had garnered the support of two legendary strongmen who stand at the pinnacle?
So fearsome!
Lis did not pay attention to the inner turmoil of the Councilman.
If previously, being a disciple of Stephens was the most dazzling title he possessed.
It was different now!
The so-called disciple of [Judgement Flame], the Duke of the Feis Kingdom, seemed more like icing on the cake.
However, becoming a Favored of the World Tree through his own abilities was now the most striking identity for Lis.
In other words, as a disciple of [Judgement Flame] Lis, he could receive a certain level of respect from people like Ulysses.
But as a Favored of the World Tree, his status and position were not inferior to that of a few in the Church of the Gods, even slightly higher.
“We came here today mainly to see you as well.”
After a brief silence, Ulysses said with a smile.
“After all, before seeing you, we were also reluctant to believe that a Favored of the World Tree had truly appeared.”
Though it might sound as though there was some reluctance toward Lis becoming a Favored of the World Tree, Lis nodded.
He knew that Ulysses was referring to the fact that the World Tree was tainted by the power of the Abyss.
The truth of his status as a Favored of the World Tree, closely related to another secret claimed by the Elf Kingdom, was significant.
Otherwise, the Elf Kingdom would not have disclosed the news of the Favored of the World Tree so readily to them.
This placed an even greater challenge before the Church of the Gods.
The fact that the World Tree Yggdrasil was tainted by the Abyss Power was already quite severe.
Bear in mind, the World Tree Yggdrasil represents the culmination of Gaia World’s laws related to nature and life; if tainted by the Abyss Power, no one knew what crises might emerge.
More importantly, that Demon Prince might secretly harbor more dangerous and terrifying schemes.
No one wanted their home base to vanish like the Elf Royal Court.
“So, do you have any plans?”
Gloria’s gentle voice rang out.
“Hmm?”
Lis turned his head in surprise, looking towards Julian.
“We haven’t discussed our cooperation yet, we’ve only exchanged some necessary information before.”
“This is the Great Sage’s idea.”
Julian looked at Lis and spoke softly.
Lis instantly understood why such a situation had arisen.
Normally, when the Elf Kingdom invited a representative from the Church of the Gods, it was certainly to achieve cooperation.
Before this, they would usually agree on the contents of their cooperation.
But Julian did not do this and had delegated this authority to Lis.
One reason was because Lis, although a human, possessed the identity of a World Tree Favored and was also an Elf Sage granted by the Elf Gods.
His role as a mediator for both parties was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
Simultaneously, it also showed the respect and goodwill that Elf Land and Jade City had for Lis.
After all, it was Lis who proposed the cooperation, and the most important content of the cooperation concerned “Nature’s Wrath”; Lis personally negotiating could advocate for the greatest benefit for “Nature’s Wrath”.
Besides, it might also relate to internal divisions within the Elf Kingdom.
Indeed, the conservative forces led by the Elf Capital were not keen on seeing the Elf Clan make contact and cooperate with the True God Church.
But with the destruction of the Elf Royal Court and the contamination of the World Tree Yggdrasil by Abyss Power, having Lis as a mediator while Elf Land and Jade City did not stand at the forefront was undoubtedly a good method to mitigate conflicts.
Lis thought deeply and quickly understood everything involved.
It was indeed like the Elf Great Sage to have considered so much!
Nodding towards Councilman Julian, Lis turned to the representatives of the Church of the Gods standing before him and said with a smile:
“You must all be aware that I’ve established an organization called ‘Nature’s Wrath’, aimed at eliminating Abyss Demons and thwarting the plans of that Demon Prince as much as possible.”
“Actually, besides the Elf Forest, I would like to expand the search range of ‘Nature’s Wrath’ for Abyss Demons into the Human Kingdoms.”
“This will require the consent of the Church of the Gods.”
The main reason he was negotiating with representatives of the Church of the Gods rather than directly with the Human Kingdoms was because the Church’s influence was broader.
Unlike in his previous life, the Church of the Gods was established in all human cities, possessing a considerable armed force of priests and paladins, even the Human Kingdoms needed to respect the Church’s decisions.
Hence, gaining the Church of the Gods’ permission and support was crucial for the Elf Team of ‘Nature’s Wrath’ to operate in the Human Kingdoms.
“Just searching for Abyss Demons?”
Ulysses looked at Lis with a serious expression.
“Of course, besides some fixed strongholds, we will not interfere with local situations or spread any faith.”
Lis said confidently.
Truthfully, as the racial gods of the elves, spreading faith in the Human Kingdoms would be futile, so Lis’s promise was made readily.
“No problem.”
After a brief silence, Ulysses nodded in agreement.
Bishop Gloria and Frode from the War God Church also nodded their consent.
This was not unexpected, after all, with a common enemy present, such sincerity was necessary.
Not to mention that eliminating Abyss Demons was beneficial for the Church of the Gods, and being the Duke of the Feis Kingdom, even if the Church did not agree, Lis could still promote cooperation between the Feis Kingdom and surrounding kingdoms; there was no need to obstruct this.
“Besides that, we also need support in intelligence and other areas…”
Then, Lis listed some of the support needed from the Church of the Gods for ‘Nature’s Wrath’.
“Is that all?”
Ulysses looked at Lis, asking with a hint of surprise:
It wasn’t that Lis’s requests were difficult, but rather they were quite simple.
Mostly just basic needs, even giving up control over the joint effort to eliminate Abyss Demons.
“Of course.”
Lis nodded with a smile and earnestly said:
“After all, the more plans you have, the more difficult, and likely more unexpected, the execution becomes,”
“Rather than that, it’s better to only need the most basic cooperation, and adjust other matters according to the situation.”
