Chapter 778 -487: Special Political Honors and [Legendary Life Ancient Tree Heart]_2
Meanwhile, the lower half of the shirt was torn into strips of fabric, exposing Lis’s chest, bruised in shades of blue and purple.
As for the room, it was an utter mess, as if a sudden storm had just swept through.
Tables and chairs were no longer in their proper places, toppled on the floor with legs in the air, their limbs intertwining chaotically. The shelf for decorative items leaned against the wall, teetering on the edge, and the carefully selected, glittering decorations had now become victims of this chaos.
The vase shattered, its fragments scattered around the floor, reflecting a weak and desolate light; the distinctive elf crafts were broken and dispersed across the floor, and other delicate ornaments, either fractured or deformed, silently spoke of the misfortune they had endured.
More shockingly, even the solid walls of the elf building, enhanced by magic, were not spared.
A ghastly large hole had emerged on the wall, as if some unknown force had violently torn a rift in space. The edges of the hole were crumbled, and dust filled the air, creating a stark and glaring contrast with the surrounding exquisite carvings and delicate textures.
The whole room looked like a battlefield that had just witnessed a fierce fight.
“Okay.”
Daphne carefully moved towards another corner of the room, glancing fearfully at the distraught Lis.
Two days ago, after Lis had returned from the Andor City Palace, he had told her to be more cautious for a couple of days.
In the beginning, Daphne hadn’t cared much and was even curious about what Lis was up to, locking himself in the room.
Was it the misfortune that Rosanara talked about?
Could it be that exaggerated?
Daphne had never seen Lis so serious, even in the face of attacks he seemed quite relaxed.
When sounds of clanging and banging came from Lis’s room, Daphne couldn’t help but open the door slightly to peek at what was actually going on with Lis.
She then saw Lis bouncing around the room like a cannonball, ruining the formerly grandiose room.
Initially, it was merely because Lis had accidentally stepped on a fruit peel and slipped…
When Daphne opened the door, Lis couldn’t even control his momentum and burst out of the room.
The huge hole in the wall was the result of Lis’s unexpected collision in the hallway.
At this moment, Lis lay powerlessly in a corner of the room, devoid of any desire to struggle anymore.
Really!
Next time, I will never let Rosanara change his luck again!
It’s such a trap!
Lis had initially prepared for his bout of being an unlucky fellow after using [Acadia’s Lucky Brooch].
It turned out that Rosanara could help delay the onset of the unlucky state, which Lis didn’t care much about.
The misfortunes he had experienced in his previous unlucky states seemed trivial now.
After all, he was now at the peak of being an Extraordinary Professional at the Gold Rank. Minor things like tripping or getting splashed in the face with hot soup were nothing.
Endurance, strength, and other physical attributes were maxed out, so these mishaps wouldn’t hurt him.
Thinking about it was nice, but reality was cruel!
Recalling what Rosanara had said about delaying the timing, the intensity of misfortune would slightly increase.
Back then, Lis hadn’t minded, but now it seemed like a slight increase? It was clearly exponentially worse!
Moreover, what troubled Lis was that even if his physical condition was optimal, falling in a super unlucky state was like what Lis talked about in his previous life’s “inch force,” hitting precisely the weakest spots on his body. Although it didn’t cause serious injuries, it made Lis suffer quite a bit.
A few days ago, Lis even asked Rosanara if the strength of this misfortune could be lessened.
Moving one step and tripping as if he were a bouncing ball was just too ridiculous.
Wearing a mischievous smile, Rosanara then said of course it could be done, but the next time he entered an unlucky state, the intensity of misfortune would slightly increase again.
Lis immediately dismissed the idea of letting Rosanara act, and his hanging heart finally died.
Eating a loss like that once was enough; any more would truly be unbearable!
Lis had also tried using magic to increase his luck, like the “Limited Prayer Technique,” but to no effect.
This made Lis even more curious about “Acadia’s Lucky Brooch,” just as Rosanara had said—there might really be some secret to it.
The rank of this destiny power was somewhat too strong, wasn’t it?
Lis had made up his mind—unless absolutely necessary, it was best to use this secret treasure sparingly in the future.
He definitely did not want to be like players who could clear negative statuses through death; it was better not to court death lightly.
Daphne had been waiting at the door for a while when she heard Lis’s weary voice:
“I’m fine now.”
“Daphne, did you come to see me for something?”
Cautiously poking her head out, Daphne said to Lis:
“Earlier, a servant from the Royal Palace came, His Majesty the King invited you to the palace. I declined on your behalf, saying you had urgent matters to attend to.”
“Just now, the palace servant came again and gave me a storage ring, saying it contained compensation from His Majesty the King.”
“I see.”
Staggering up from the corner, Lis checked the system panel and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the duration of the ‘Unlucky Fellow’ status had reset to zero.
It had finally ended!
Lis felt like he had survived a huge ordeal; this time, it had really been tough.
In tattered clothes, Lis tentatively took a step forward, ensuring the ‘Unlucky Fellow’ status had completely disappeared, and that he would not slip while walking again.
The falls over the last few days had almost given him a psychological shadow!
Walking to the door and receiving the storage ring embedded with an emerald gemstone from Daphne’s hand, he saw Daphne’s inquisitive gaze directed at his chest and promptly shut the door.
It was fortunate that in these two days, Daphne had kept those who wanted to see him out; otherwise, seeing Lis in this state, they might have thought he was cursed by an Evil God.
Using his spiritual power to imprint his mark in the storage ring, Lis’s consciousness entered the ring and he began looking through its contents.
“King Haddad really is generous!”
Lis looked at the somewhat exaggerated wealth inside the storage ring—those gold coins, extraordinary materials, and special items could probably fill the room he was in.
And the quality of these items was quite exceptional, which the well-informed Lis quickly identified.
Touching his chin, Lis gauged that the wealth King Haddad had given him was almost equivalent to what Jade City provided “Nature’s Wrath” with in a year’s extraordinary supplies.
That was the share for nearly five hundred elite elves!
Lis guessed that besides compensation for the attack by the Evil God believers, there must also be some thanks from His Majesty the King.
Salem’s identity was not ordinary; his appearance in the palace signified that he was trusted by the Elf Kingdom.
Or rather, that he had not been suspected of being an Evil God believer.
Of course, it might also be because he had hidden it well, but given the situation at that time, Andor City wouldn’t have discovered anything unusual about Salem had it continued the search.
But then Lis, a variable, appeared and found him through a completely mystical method, leading Salem to likely not understand how he was exposed in the end.
Remembering the pale face of that Day Elf named Denis, he understood that he had been used by Salem several times unwittingly.
Helping Andor City remove this venomous nail, these thanks were not at all exaggerated.
Moments later, Lis suddenly held a chicken egg-sized brown sphere in his hand, which was covered with rough wooden textures and faintly emitted a pale green light.
“Really generous!”
As Lis caressed the sphere in his hand, he said somewhat emotionally.
