But that was just how he felt.
What they favored was the affair of the Alorotti family itself; even for Lis, as the Elf Sage, it was rather disrespectful to rashly offer such suggestions to those elves.
Lis swirled the wine in his cup, his attention not at all on the fine drink.
At this banquet hosted by the Royal Palace, aside from His Majesty the King Haddad, there were no other Legendary Strongmen attending the evening party from Andor City.
This was not surprising, after all, the banquet was nothing more than a gesture of goodwill from Andor City and the Alorotti family to Lis, the newly appointed Elf Sage; there was no need for those legends of the Elf Royal City to attend.
Lis understood well that even as the King of the Elf Kingdom, it was impossible to forcibly command the Elf Legends to do such things.
In Jade City, it was the same; after Lis became a member of the Elf Council of Jade City, he then went to visit the Elf Legends located in the city.
Perhaps because of his status as the World Tree Favored or due to the relationship with Nature's Wrath, those Elf Legends were quite amicable towards Lis.
The elves attending tonight's party were most likely the representatives of the Elf Families of Andor City; despite their recent enthusiasm towards Lis, it didn't mean those Elf Families truly welcomed him.
During his earlier conversation with Haddad, His Majesty the King had also implied this.
The reason they had only reached an agreement on the intention to cooperate with Lis, without needing him to do anything specific in the short term, was partly due to this.
Although Haddad saw this potential crisis and even had the precedent of a destroyed Elf Royal Court, he still needed time to gradually change the minds of the other elves.
The Elf Kingdom was too vast. As the most important stronghold of the Elf Gods in the Gaia World, Haddad couldn't simply change the beliefs of all elves with straightforward commands.
Even though Haddad seemed to have the support of the Elf Legends, the foundation of the Elf Kingdom was rooted in the common elves beneath those Legends.
If changes were made forcibly it would surely lead to greater turmoil, a situation neither the Elf Kingdom nor the Elf Gods wanted to see.
After all, for the current Elf Kingdom, stability was above everything else.
That's why Haddad chose to slowly change everyone's mindset over time through patience and effort, not hesitating to spend more time doing so.
After all, for the Longevity Species like the elves, time was not so precious.
All clever people, ah...
Lis couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart; he had not anticipated such changes before coming to Andor City.
One must not underestimate anyone, indeed!
Just at this moment, Lis caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Rosanara, dressed in a red evening gown, looked like a gracefully blossoming red rose, both noble and charmingly coy. The gown was tailored exquisitely, perfectly outlining the girl's slender and attractive figure.
There she stood, quietly savoring the delicacies on the table in a corner of the banquet hall.
Without paying too much mind, Lis walked over, placing his glass gently on the table and said:
"Looking at you, it seems you have almost fully recovered."
"Of course, it was just the first Space Transmission I'm not used to," Rosanara said irritably, this guy was really annoying, couldn't he let this matter go?
"Also, last time too, how did you discover me?"
"Even though I had already concealed my traces..."
After a pause, driven by curiosity, Rosanara couldn't help but ask Lis.
Since becoming Blessed by the Goddess of Luck, although it hadn't been long, Rosanara had been continuously familiarizing herself with the special abilities bestowed by the Goddess.
Destiny·Self Concealment
This Divine Art of concealing one's existence was one of them. Its principle was to hide one's destinic traces; to others' eyes, she would seem as if she had disappeared without a trace.
Once Rosanara grew stronger, she could even temporarily erase the memories others had of her from their minds.
But that was just a superficial use of the Destiny Domain's abilities, Rosanara had yet to master the related Extraordinary Domain, so naturally, she couldn't achieve that level.
Rosanara quite liked this ability. When attending parties, tired of the advances of other elves, she would use this ability to erase her presence.
But for some reason, it just wouldn't work on Lis; it had been the same during her previous attempt at Tracking Lis.
"Are you talking about the special Divine Art you possess?"
Lis looked toward Rosanara, saying with a light laugh:
"Do you know why I asked you how long it's been since you became Divine Favored?"
"That's because the scent of Divine Power on you is too strong; it's obvious you have yet to fully grasp that power."
"Even if the ability you're using is magical, the aura of Divine Power coming from you is like a beacon; how could I possibly overlook it?"
Seeing Rosanara's slightly indignant look, Lis shook his head and said:
"Of course, not anyone can sense the aura of Divine Power."
"Apart from Legendary Strongmen, I suppose only those associated with the divine, such as the Church of the Gods, Evil God believers..."
"And of course, as a Favored of the World Tree, I am not an exception."
Lis didn't disclose the entire truth, after all, mastering Divine Power was an impossibility for Professionals below the Legendary level.
Superpowers like the Church of the Gods, connected to all things divine, may use various clever methods to allow non-legendary Professionals to sense and familiarize themselves with Divine Power, but they couldn't possibly have a perception as acute as Lis's.
