Chapter 745 -471: Favored by the Lucky Goddess? _2
When Daphne emerged in her formal gown, even Lis couldn’t help but admire her with several additional glances.
It must be said that a quiet and gentle Daphne truly possessed a uniquely enchanting charm.
As Lis and Daphne stood in front of the Council, they attracted the astonished and appreciative gazes of all the passersby.
Just as Lis was about to enter the Council with Daphne, a figure appeared before him, smiling and walking towards him.
“Welcome, Sage Lis!”
Lis turned his head and saw it was an elderly elf clad in simple attire.
He was draped in an ordinary emerald green robe without fancy embroidery or elaborate decorations, just a few natural folds left by the years, recording the passage of time and the wisdom of life.
His hair, like the last touch of golden yellow in autumn, was already speckled with white yet shimmered with a gentle gloss, casually tied at the back of his head. The elder’s face was kind and profound, with faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Elves are famously long-lived, and one showing such signs of age was undoubtedly at the twilight of his extended life.
Although this was Lis’s first encounter with him since arriving in Jade City, he instantly recognized who it was.
Julian Yunus, Councilman of the Elf Council of Jade City!
Lis bowed slightly and greeted:
“I am pleased to meet you, Lord Yunus, Councilman!”
Julian approached Lis and, with a smile, waved his hand dismissively:
“There’s no need for that, Sage Lis. I wouldn’t dare take on the posture of a councilman before a distinguished elf sage.”
In response to the councilman’s goodwill, Lis also replied with a smile:
“At least I’m not one now, am I?”
“That won’t do, your other identity deserves everyone’s respect!”
With a smile on his face, Julian spoke to Lis.
Then the lordly councilman turned to look at Daphne standing nearby, nodded, and said:
“It’s been a long time, Daphne. You’ve grown even more outstanding!”
Daphne, at Lis’s side, simply nodded obediently without saying much.
Her presence here today was more about representing the support of Elf Land and Elf Great Sage Adela for Lis and [Nature’s Wrath].
After all, Daphne’s identity was quite special, and she could very well be the next leader of Elf Land. Many people in Jade City, closely associated with Elf Land, were well aware of this fact.
“Let’s go in, shall we?”
After the brief exchange, Julian said to Lis:
“Many are waiting for you inside.”
“Alright.”
Lis didn’t hesitate, for he naturally knew who awaited him there.
Under Julian’s guidance, Lis and Daphne entered the building that sparkled like a Jade Gemstone.
On the way, many elves were curious about who could merit leading by the Elf Council’s Councilman.
However, some elves in official attire seemed to realize something at their first glimpse of Lis, surveying him curiously.
Lis was not a stranger to such looks; he had seen them from the nobles when he was granted a ducal title in the Feis Kingdom.
But compared to being the center of attention here, Lis preferred to be alone in his laboratory, studying arcane magic.
His arcane research progress had slowed down due to the abundance of recent events.
Following Julian, Lis quickly arrived at a serene reception room.
Upon entering, Lis saw several people of diverse personalities seated inside.
Sitting in the central position was an old man wearing a pure white robe. Despite his aged face, the bulging strong muscles underneath the robe hinted at the formidable strength contained within his body.
Next to the old man was a middle-aged woman with a kindly smile. Dressed in an earthy yellow priest robe, she was cheerfully chatting with the old man beside her. Judging by their amiable conversation, it seemed she and the old man were acquainted and on good terms.
As for the young man near the window, resting with his eyes closed, he was dressed in a suit of pure black armor. Even in this place, he showed no intention of removing his equipment, and a longsword emitting a faint red-black glow rested beside him, subtly exuding a hint of a bloody scent.
And lastly, there was the adorable little girl in red, who was sprawled on the table, voraciously eating the fresh fruit and pastries prepared on it.
Lis swept his gaze across and immediately confirmed the identities of these individuals.
Having been in contact with divine power numerous times, he could now sense the rich divine aura emanating from them.
That is to say, no matter their actual strength, at the very least, they were of the bishop level in the Church of the Gods.
The Dawn Emblem on the white robe of the elderly man indicated that he should belong to the Dawn Church, and it was highly likely that he had some connection with the Dawn Holy Knights.
As for the middle-aged lady beside him, the Wheat Sheaf Emblem on her person indicated that she should be from the Earth Church that worshipped the Earth Mother God, Shantia. Since the God of Dawn and the Earth Mother God were in an alliance, it was quite natural that the churches under them had a good relationship.
As for the young man clad in black armor, even though Lis did not see any emblem that reflected his identity, he was all too familiar with the scent of the bloodthirsty divine power.
People from the War God Church!
Although the War God did not possess immense divine power, it was one of the strongest among those with medium divine power.
What was crucial was that he was not a subordinate deity to any powerful divine being but a completely independent spirit.
It was said that the War God was even preparing to establish his own God System to ascend to greater divine power.
However, even by the time Lis was reborn, he had not heard any news of such a success.
As for the last one, the little girl in red, Lis was not very sure.
He had not seen the aura emanating from her before, but it gave Lis a familiar feeling, along with a sense of surreal, ethereal insubstantiality.
As Lis walked in and observed everyone in the room, they also stopped their exchange and looked up at him.
“Indeed, it is the presence of Lord Yggdrasil.”
Moments later, the gentle voice of the middle-aged lady sounded, and the others, hearing this, became serious.
It was actually true!
The World Tree Favored indeed appeared!
Has Yggdrasil truly been tainted by Abyss Power?
That must be the case, otherwise, these stiff-eared beings would not actively seek their help.
For a time, many thoughts went through the minds of those in the room, rendering them speechless.
Finally, it was Julian who broke the silence in the room, smiling as he said:
“Sage Lis, let me introduce them to you.”
Julian, with a smile, gestured towards the people in the room who stood up and greeted Lis.
After all, as the source of life for the Gaia World, the gods of the Human faction could almost be considered descendants of Yggdrasil.
Furthermore, because of its special status, Yggdrasil was more like a facet of the consciousness of the Gaia World and maintained absolute neutrality, naturally earning the respect of All Gods.
“This is Lord Ulysses Eng from the Dawn Church.”
The white-robed elderly man with the terrifying muscles smiled and gestured towards Lis, showing an obvious intention of closeness.
Well, it looks like he’s one of us!
“This is Bishop of Karni, Lord Gloria Carney from the Earth Church.”
The middle-aged lady who had spoken earlier smiled at Lis and nodded. As a follower of the Earth Mother God, it was very likely that she had come into contact with Yggdrasil’s remnants and recognized the aura of the World Tree as not being strange.
Well, it looks like she could be one of us too!
“This is Lord Frode Trydway from the War God Church.”
The young man in black armor opened his eyes and looked at Lis with a coldness that seemed to carry a hint of impatience.
Lis did not mind, as it was typical of the people from the War God Church to be indifferent to everything but battle.
Moreover, they acted so aloof all the time that many players in Lis’s previous life joined the War God Church just to show off like them.
“As for this one…”
Turning to the last one, Julian hesitated slightly before saying to Lis:
“We did not invite her; she came to us on her own.”

“She claims to be…”
“The Lucky Goddess’s Favored, Rosanara Guest!”
