Salem said casually as he finished off the wine in his hand and spoke no further.
"By the way, did you secure a spot in 'Nature's Wrath' this time?"
Wanting to steer the conversation away from the topic of his love life, Denis turned to Salem and asked.
"No problem, I passed,"
Salem nodded, a hint of joy in his expression.
"So, you really should change your attitude,"
Denis shook his head, advising his friend:
"When the time comes, you'll be working under the Sage, so it wouldn't hurt to be cautious,"
Salem said softly after pausing for a moment.
Once Denis's gaze shifted away, Salem's eyes revealed a trace of anticipation.
And one that had escaped from the clutches of the Demon Prince!
If he succeeded in hunting him down and offered him as a sacrifice to 'My Lord,' how abundant would the reward be?
After all, Lis's reputation had already spread across the Fanor Continent, and succeeding in hunting him would mean Salem's name would likewise become known to countless people.
Whether it was breaking through to legend in the future or going even further, there would be endless benefits.
For this, Salem was even prepared to give up his status and identity in the Elf Kingdom and fully devote himself to being an Evil God Believer.
As for whether he could successfully hunt down Lis, Salem was not too worried.
Lis was powerful, very powerful!
That was something he had realized during a probing attempt two days before, but hunting down a target didn't necessarily involve a head-on fight.
There were far more methods available in the shadows, and they were hard to guard against.
Salem had the patience to slowly execute his hunt, and joining 'Nature's Wrath' to get close to Lis was the first step!
As for the attacks he manipulated a few days ago, he was confident that he had covered his tracks well, assuring that the Kingdom would not find out.
In the past, he had also frequently carried out covert operations with the help of divine power, which was why he, someone of merely average Talent, had been able to quickly increase his Strength.
Just as Denis was about to say something else, someone knocked on his door suddenly.
Denis was curious, wondering who would come to his residence at this time?
Before he could go to open the door, it was pushed open from the outside.
A group of people came in, led by Lis, whom Denis and Salem had just been talking about.
Lis entered, followed by the Royal Palace's most elite guards.
When King Haddad learned that Lis had found the Hidden Evil God Believer and that he was within the Royal Palace, he was taken aback.
Although hard to believe, he still arranged for people to follow Lis and capture this so-called Evil God Believer.
Without any concrete evidence to prove the Elf Sage's words wrong, no one would dare to openly question Lis.
However, when Lis led them towards the area where the Alorotti family members resided within the Royal Palace, everyone's hearts grew anxious.
Was there really a member of the Alorotti family who had forsaken their faith and Fallen to become a Believer of the Evil God?
Lis entered the room, his gaze sweeping over Denis and Salem inside.
Upon seeing the muscular Salem, the black stream in Lis's hand twitched ever so slightly under the influence of magic, instantly locking onto his aura.
Lis's face broke into a mild smile.
"Believer of the God of Hunting, Marla!"
"Choosing me as your hunting target?"
