Chapter 840: Chapter 517: Prince Gerard’s Excitement_2

But someone like the Elf Sage Lis, Gerard was indeed seeing for the first time.

After all, Gerard was aware of Lis forming [Nature’s Wrath] and collaborating with the Church of the Gods. With Lis’s current status, although he might not reach the level of a Legendary Crown, he was very close.

This individual suddenly appeared in Cui Feng City and personally established a mercenary group.

What exactly does he intend to do?

Gerard was somewhat puzzled, then shook his head and said to Archil:

“I don’t care about that, as long as the matter with the Evil God believers is resolved.”

“If he truly uses the Life Sacrifice Ceremony to break through to Legendary, then it would be a massive trouble.”

“Moreover, this Elf Sage doesn’t seem to have any hostility, otherwise he wouldn’t have appeared in Cui Feng City with such fanfare.”

“What do you mean?”

Archil sensed Gerard’s tone being peculiar and asked curiously.

“Archil, do you remember the information related to this Elf Sage?”

“Hmm…”

Upon hearing this, Archil quickly started to ponder.

As a civil servant, he had a remarkable memory.

He soon recalled the intelligence about the Elf Sage.

“Your Highness, are you referring to the intelligence that this Elf Sage hails from the Feis Kingdom?”

“Yes, that’s it!”

Gerard suddenly stood up, pacing excitedly in the tent as his mind raced.

“This Elf Sage was previously Duke Kane of the Feis Kingdom.”

“It’s said that several years ago, he was just an ordinary Court Viscount. After becoming a disciple of [Judgement Flame], he quickly rose to prominence, even the most important areas in Bodich Kingdom became his territory.”

“Although Feis Kingdom didn’t make any conspicuous moves after he became Elf Sage, clearly, he must still have a good relationship with Feis Kingdom.”

“Now, he suddenly appeared in Cui Feng City to form a Mercenary Guild, and even actively picked up our task…”

Gerard seemed to be talking to himself, trying to organize his thoughts.

“He didn’t go to Archibald Kingdom or Paluo Federation, is he perhaps signaling something to us?”

“Are you saying Lis appeared in Cui Feng City not as an Elf Sage, but as Duke of Feis Kingdom?”

“Willing to cooperate with us?”

Archil, realizing Gerard’s thoughts, quickly asked somewhat perplexed:

“If that’s the case, why didn’t he come directly here instead of going to Cui Feng City?”

“There are many explanations.”

Gerard tapped the table, smiling:

“Perhaps he wants us to approach him first, so he gains an advantage in negotiations?”

“Or as per the intelligence, he also discovered the uniqueness of the [Undead], and intends to recruit them?”

“Or maybe, all these are just whims with no other intentions, and we are overthinking.”

Gerard said excitedly:

“But it doesn’t matter!”

“Regardless of the situation, it doesn’t change the fact that he appeared in Cui Feng City.”

“Even if he has no such intentions, I can still approach him actively.”

“After all, Duke Kane’s influence in Feis Kingdom is considerable!”

It should be noted, the current predicament of the Gordon Kingdom had troubled Gerard, the kingdom’s heir, for some time now.

Let alone seeking an audience with a dignified Elf Sage, even if it were an ordinary person or beggar, as long as the person could help Gordon Kingdom overcome its current plight, Gerard would do anything.

Compared to the entire Gordon Kingdom, dignity, and honor were unimportant to him.

Under such circumstances, Duke Liskain’s identity held more tangible importance than that of an Elf Sage.

Feis Kingdom indeed could intervene in the war against Gordon Kingdom, Archibald Kingdom, and Paluo Federation, albeit powerful Elves are forbidden by the Church of Gods to meddle in Human Kingdom wars.

Archil also felt invigorated, nodding repeatedly.

Previously, they had considered seeking help from Feis Kingdom.

There had been rumors of Paluo Federation receiving Feis Kingdom’s support, intending to act against Gordon Kingdom.

After a period of tension, Gordon Kingdom found Feis Kingdom displayed no special actions, seemingly content with assimilating Bodich Kingdom’s legacy.

It remained unclear what Feis Kingdom’s old king was thinking, neither aiding Paluo Federation nor responding to Gordon Kingdom’s overtures.

Lis’s appearance offered Gerard another ray of hope.

“Let’s go!”

“Archil, accompany me to Cui Feng City to meet the Elf Sage.”

“Leave the military camp matters entirely to Angus.” Gerard decided decisively after a moment’s thought.

“Alright.”

Archil didn’t hesitate, agreeing at once.

…

Meanwhile, in Cui Feng City,

Lis stood up to greet the somewhat travel-worn Lord Bivis Milan and said with a smile:

“Lord Bivis, I did not expect His Majesty to send you here.”

“Isn’t it because His Majesty highly values your proposition, Duke?”

In casual clothes, Bivis sat down and emptied the cup of deep red wine in one gulp.

The leader of Feis Kingdom’s Golden Lion Knights looked at Lis before him, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

Despite nearly unchanged appearances from years prior, the handsome youth remained unaltered, yet Bivis felt a vast change.

Clearly, when he first met Lis, he was just a Bronze Mage, and because of Taya, he paid a bit more attention to him.

Unexpectedly, days later, this youth became [Judgement Flame]’s only disciple for years.

Seeing Lis’s prowess rapidly ascend, breaking into Golden Rank within a year, and famously defeating Bodich’s great mage in battle, Bivis initially thought genius maxed out like Lis.

Then after a period of disappearance, news came about a human becoming an Elf Sage in the Elf Kingdom named Lis Kain.

Initially deemed coincidence, but after hearing from His Majesty, Bivis was numbed.

No way?

Knowing this youth was extraordinary, wasn’t this too much?

Seeing Lis again, the thoughts vanished in Bivis’s mind.

Hmm…

This feeling…

Have I lived in vain all these years?

“Did you come alone?”

Lis asked with a smile, pouring wine into Bivis’s cup.

He respected Bivis, as he had been quite friendly and helpful in Bright City and Bodich Kingdom.

His Majesty sent Bivis partly for leading Feis Kingdom’s elite Golden Lion Knights, capable of changing a battle’s outcome, and perhaps for Bivis’s favorable relationship with Lis.

“Certainly not.”

Bivis shook his head, laying out a map on the table and pointing to a location:

“The whole Golden Lion Knights are stationed here, unnoticed for now.”

“His Majesty sent a strategic-level teleportation magic array, ready for use, swiftly transporting the troops.”

“Thank His Majesty for his trust!”

Lis nodded, feeling relieved.

Wow!

How generous!

Lis knew the strategic-level teleportation magic array and found records in Mr. Stephens’s notes.

A Legendary-level item, capable of rapidly transporting an entire army over a thousand miles.

Such items are kingdom treasures, and likely only [Judgement Flame] could craft such an array on Fanor Continent.

With precious materials, the quantity is certainly limited.

At least, Lis saw none in the Royal Palace Treasure Vault.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty sent one now.

Like a dowry?

Lis rubbed his chin, sensing His Majesty’s significant effort!

It indeed showed Feis Kingdom’s emphasis.

By the way, no news from Taya recently.

Is she preparing for a Legendary breakthrough?

Knock knock!

Suddenly, a knock sounded.
