I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 802

Chapter 802: Chapter 499: The Shock of Bishop Felix

“City Guard Army?”

Cendelle looked puzzled and said uncertainly:

“Lord Lis, could it be because they discovered we are from Nature’s Wrath, so they dare not come over.”

“After all, this is Acot City, the Royal Capital of Bolin Kingdom.”

Lis slightly shook his head and then said:

“If it were elsewhere, it might be as you said, but in Acot City, at least the City Guard Army should have come forward.”

“Otherwise, if such an incident occurs in the Royal Capital and the City Guard Army does not show up, the Kingdom’s face would be completely lost.”

“Moreover, when people from the Church of the Gods have arrived and the City Guard Army still hasn’t appeared…”

Lis looked at the figures appearing not far away; he had already sensed that special aura emanating from them.

The influence of the Church of the Gods in the Bolin Kingdom wasn’t very strong, since this was the territory of the Elf Kingdom, and the Elves always guarded their own patch of land, rarely entering Human Kingdom’s territory on a large scale.

Therefore, the strength the Church of the Gods had established in Acot City was not very strong, mainly composed of figures from the Earth Church, including a High-level Priest and High Order Paladins who had just arrived.

They initially wanted to immediately quell the chaos, but the lead High-level Priest, upon seeing the emblem of the Half-dried World Tree on the Elf who took action, had everyone stop.

They were very aware of Nature’s Wrath’s emblem, although it had just been established not long ago, it had rapidly grown with the support of the Elf Kingdom.

The Earth Church also had cooperation with Nature’s Wrath, and since the latter was also attacking someone visibly corrupted by Demon Power, they saw no need to intervene by force.

“Lord Felix, look over there!”

A paladin in the group pointed to a rooftop diagonally opposite and spoke to the lead Golden Priest, Felix.

Standing at the forefront of the group, Felix was an old man with white hair. Age seemed to have etched deep marks upon his face; his eyes, though slightly clouded, still sparkled with a gentle and steadfast light.

He had also noticed the figure standing there, because all the Elf Warriors present, except those fighting the Fallen Mage, were subtly positioned around the rooftop figure, vigilant of any potential threats.

“I’m aware.”

Felix nodded slightly, not concerning himself with the nearby battle, instead turning his gaze to the person on the rooftop.

He too had come upon sensing the Demon Power. Once he was sure the person contaminated with Demon Power had no possibility of escaping, he shifted his attention to the person surrounded by Elves.

Wait!

Felix looked doubtfully at the person.

A young… Human male?

Although aged, his Transcendent Power allowed him to maintain a good status until the end of his life.

But at this moment, he slightly doubted whether he was seeing correctly.

After all, how could those Elf Warriors possibly be guarding around a Human?

And it seemed that those Elves were not protecting or monitoring but following someone with a subordinate’s demeanor.

Nature’s Wrath’s Elves…

Could it be?

Felix suddenly thought of a possibility and his expression slightly changed.

“Felix, what’s wrong?”

Golden Rank Holy Knight Maierken, noticing the situation, asked aloud.

Felix did not explain to him, instead he said:

“Maierken, come with me!”

The two of them then walked towards the house where Lis was located.

The surrounding Elves also noticed the approach of the two men, but from Felix and Mayer’s attire, it was apparent they were from the Earth Church.

Although they did not attack, the Elf Warriors rested their hands on their weapons, ready to act at any moment.

Felix and Maierken were on alert, yet they put away their weapons as a sign of no hostility.

Only when they got closer did Felix look up at Lis and ask respectfully:

“Excuse me, are you Sage Lis?”

“Yes.”

Lis, looking down at Felix and Maierken, smiled and said:

“Today, I also came here tracking the Elf Slave Catching Team, but I didn’t expect to find traces of an Abyss Demon here.”

“I assume the Earth Church wouldn’t want to hinder our actions, right?”

“Of course, of course!”

“Bishop of Karni has already instructed us to definitely cooperate with Nature’s Wrath to eliminate both the Elf Slave Catching Team and the Abyss Demon.”

Felix felt a sharp aura gradually emanating from Lis, and despite having faced many dangers, he felt a chill on his back.

Even so, he did not completely bow down to Lis.

While maintaining respect, he also lightly confirmed the content of the agreement between the Church of the Gods and Nature’s Wrath.

That was to eliminate the Elf Slave Catching Team and the Abyss Demon, and apart from this, he requested that Nature’s Wrath and Sage Lis himself not intervene lightly in matters beyond their bounds.

“Of course!”

Lis nodded slightly and smiled back.

He was well aware of the content of cooperation with the Church of the Gods, and it was also what he hoped to achieve.

In the Bolin Kingdom, it might not be apparent, but once Nature’s Wrath’s Elves began venturing deeper into the territories of the Human Kingdom, the assistance of the Church of the Gods would become even more crucial for the Elves.

Moreover, Lis was not expecting to use the supposed cooperation for his own personal gain.
