Chapter 771 -484: Followers of the God of Hunting_2
“What existence?”
Rosanara’s curiosity was piqued, and she quickly asked.
“The God of Hunting…”
Lis said softly.
“The God of Hunting, Marla?”
Rosanara said somewhat unexpectedly, as she naturally knew of this deity.
As a favored one of the Lucky Goddess, she enjoyed the protection of the Goddess, and even when speaking of other deities’ exalted names, she wouldn’t attract attention.
“You mean, the attack just now was by Marla’s believers?”
“It should be.”
Lis nodded affirmatively.
He was also quite familiar with this deity because the God of Hunting was one of the well-known deities among the player community.
However, He is not a deity of the Order Camp, but belongs to the Chaos and evil alignment, an Evil God.
He is a deity with Weak Divine Power, and His Divine Domain includes hunting and barbarism, among others; in some sense, His situation resembles that of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
His primary Divine Position is [Hunting], so His followers are mostly rangers and hunters, with some druids as well.
And the reason why the God of Hunting is quite famous among the players is that the standard for bestowing Divine Power is very low; it’s one of the simplest ways for players to be granted Divine Power.
The sacrificial ritual of the God of Hunting does not have a fixed procedure; His followers often hunt and kill to offer their faith to the deity.
As long as the hunt is successful, they can please the deity and be granted power.
And the amount of power granted depends on the “importance” of the hunted prey.
That is, the stronger the prey, the more important its status, the more it pleases the deity.
“So… am I being treated as ‘prey’ now?”
Lis’ lips curled slightly, but he had no worries at all.
The reason he could be so sure that the person scheming all this in secret was a follower of the God of Hunting was that he felt a familiar sensation from the black current he had gotten from the Day Elf.
That was one of the powers bestowed by the God of Hunting, and it’s also a special ability quite popular among the players.
[Hunting God·Disguise]!
Players could use this ability to disguise their own aura to elude the enemy’s detection and even change their appearance.
Perhaps, in order to successfully hunt the target, the ability to disguise oneself is indispensable.
Marla’s granting of this ability has a high priority, and it also gives players with professions like warrior and martial monk the capability to hide their own aura.
Also, because of this ability’s effect, although Lis felt something strange about the Day Elf earlier, he did not feel the presence of an Evil God’s aura.
As for why the other party could control a deceased Day Elf and exert its former strength, Lis was not very sure.
He also didn’t sense the aura of the undead; perhaps it’s another ability granted by the Evil God?
“So what do you want to do?”
Rosanara looked at Lis and asked, as the walls of Andor City came back into their view.
“Find that person?”
Lis said with a smile, as if talking about something very easy.
“Do you have a way?”
Rosanara was skeptical, thinking it was hardly possible to find the person behind the scenes just based on a near-dissipated aura.
“Almost.”
Lis nodded and then said to Rosanara:
“You bring me more luck, and maybe we’ll just run into that mastermind while we walk!”
“Impossible!”
Rosanara looked at Lis wordlessly, and said in an annoyed tone.
Didn’t they already say that the aura of destiny on him was very peculiar, her Destiny Divine Skill simply did not work.
“Well then, we’ll talk about it later.”
Lis nodded and put that topic aside for now.
…
After Lis returned to Andor City, he was swiftly informed that Lord Haddad had been notified about the attack.
Because of this, Haddad even made a special visit to see Lis and assured him that Andor City would definitely investigate the attack and provide him with an explanation.
Lis expressed his gratitude to Lord Haddad for his concern and mentioned that he wanted to participate in the follow-up investigation.
Haddad hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.
According to Lis, it was a Day Elf who had attacked him.
And, based on the portrait provided by Lis, the Alorotti family quickly identified the identity of that Day Elf.
Asmir Alorotti, who disappeared two hundred years ago!
He was a member of the Alorotti family, a rather low-profile Day Elf who vanished without a trace after leaving Andor City two hundred years ago.
The Alorotti family had searched for him, but to no avail.
Now, he suddenly appeared and attacked Sage Lis, who had just arrived in Andor City, which was too bizarre.
Haddad had just entered into a cooperation with Lis, and at this time, he did not want to cause any displeasure to Lis.
Moreover, with the Alorotti family involved, not allowing Lis to participate would give the impression of having a guilty conscience.
However, the matter was clear, both Lis and Haddad were aware that this was definitely not the doing of the other party.
Lis also shared the intelligence about the God of Hunting with Haddad.
The king of the Elf Kingdom had a bit of a headache; he had just sought cooperation with the True God Church only to have the Evil God believers show up at his doorstep.
The God of Hunting, Marla, although a deity of the human camp, had followers who did not have a fixed residence but wandered across various continents.
There were sightings around the Elf Forest, but Haddad never expected them to appear around Andor City.
This made Haddad, already sensitive due to affairs concerning the Elf Royal Court, even more angry, prompting the entire Andor City to mobilize and thoroughly search for any possible traces of Evil God believers.
Meanwhile, at the resting place of Lis and Rosanara,
“Aren’t you looking for those Evil God believers?”
“Why are you staying in your room all the time and not coming out?”
Rosanara curiously asked Lis, who was leisurely flipping through a magic book on the couch.
“No rush,”
Lis closed the book in his hands, looked at Rosanara with a smile, and said,
“I believe that our Lord Haddad is more anxious than us!”
“Besides, with so many legends in Andor City and the guardian of Divine Power, it’s certainly much easier for them to search than me.”
“If they can’t find them, then it means this Evil God believer is hidden very deeply, and ordinary methods won’t discover him.”
“So we’re just going to stay here all the time?”
Rosanara was somewhat bored. It had already been the third day since they returned to Andor City, but it seemed that there was not much progress on that side.
It was so that the Elf Captain, who temporarily served as the messenger for communications between Andor City and Lis, looked rather distressed.
“Indeed, it has been two days, and if they haven’t found anything, it’s going to be quite troublesome to search,”
Lis stood up leisurely, took out a map from his storage ring, and casually fixed it on the wall behind him.
“This is… a map of Andor City?”
Daphne, who was standing by with Angela perched on her head, softly asked. She recognized several familiar locations on the map at a glance.
This was the map of Andor City that Lis had acquired from the Elf Captain the day before, detailing all of Andor City’s important locations.
In the very center of the map was the massive Life Ancient Tree and the Aloroti Palace. Radiating from the palace were eight symmetrically distributed main thoroughfares with residential areas, commercial districts, and other places arranged intricately over the map.
This map clearly displayed the Elves’ aesthetic taste, with every bit of Andor City’s layout as meticulously and perfectly planned as a work of art.
Rosanara watched as Lis took out a dagger, skillfully maneuvering it in his hand, and asked puzzled,
“What are you going to do?”
“Just watch,”
Lis said to Rosanara with a smile, while his right hand produced a silver-white Clover Brooch.
Rosanara’s eyes were instantly drawn to the silver brooch as she heard Lis say:
“I think I’m going to be lucky!”
