I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Watching Lis leave, the drawing-room fell into a state of calm.

King Morton indulged in the soft pastries with relish, looking regretfully at the remaining sweets, but he truly couldn't eat anymore.

Due to his body's aging, it was hard for him to enjoy too many of his beloved desserts.

"Fusis, what do you think?"

Hearing King Morton's question, Fusis remained silent for a moment before speaking softly,

"Lis Kain is indeed astonishing; who could have thought he could accomplish so much."

"More importantly, he has already advanced to Gold Level."

"Yes, Gold Level..."

Morton Fis sighed. Since the special circumstance of Yatean, he had placed all his expectations on Taya.

As the one with the most outstanding Talent in the Royal Family since the foundation of the Feis Kingdom, Taya's performance had never disappointed King Morton.

At a young age, he had already become a Gold-level Warrior, and the momentum of his continuous improvement showed no sign of slowing, making it very likely that he would become the first direct descendant of the Royal Family to become a Legendary Strongman.

At the same time, Taya's character, which had been somewhat capricious and wilful, seemed to mature much more after Lis left Bright City for his expedition.

This was the main reason King Morton started harboring other intentions.

But now it seemed, Lis's Talent was no less than Taya's.

Also, considering the existence of two Legendary Strongmen backing Lis, that's why King Morton had prepared such generous conditions for Lis this time.

"Fusis, send Lis's information to Taya."

King Morton said with a chuckle, ready to give Taya a little extra motivation.

"And hurry up with Bevis, too, take down all of the Boditch Kingdom's territories at the fastest speed, to save time!"

Fusis nodded without speaking.

Although the war at the front was going smoothly, there were also many undercurrents within the Feis Kingdom, and this had already consumed most of the Duke's energy.

Now everyone hoped to end this war as soon as possible and properly digest such a massive gain.

...

Bright City, Feis Street.

In a quiet Nobleman's mansion, the second-floor study.

Although it was still daytime, the study's dark curtains were tightly drawn, completely concealing the interior from outside view.

A man in luxurious clothing sat behind a black walnut desk, lightly tapping the surface with his index finger, his face somewhat somber.

In front of him sat a man in a black robe, calmly opening a bottle of precious wine from the study, dark red liquid swaying ceaselessly in the long-stemmed glass.

"Messian, what are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man asked indifferently, not minding that the robed man had opened his treasured bottle of wine.

Messian didn't respond immediately, but after sipping from the glass and seemingly savoring it, he slowly said,

"Divine Envoy, I indeed have important matters. This is by the command of Elvin."

Hearing that Messian was here on orders, and that it was commanded by the Legendary Strongman Elvin, the Divine Envoy of the All Beast Church furrowed his brows.

Although he was a Divine Envoy, one of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts' closest attendants in the Gaia World, he still needed to show a certain level of respect to the church's only other Legendary Strongman, even in his absence.

"Alright, what does Elvin require me to do?"

The Divine Envoy asked gravely, sitting up straight.

But Messian did not answer directly, instead he brought up another matter.

"Do you know [Blood Shark] Patrick?"

The Divine Envoy frowned, pondered for a moment, and said,

"Elvin's disciple, the pirate who gathered financial resources for the church on the Pearl Sea?"

The Divine Envoy wasn't a direct descendant trained by the All Beast Church from childhood but someone who had joined midway because the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts favored him.

Therefore, his knowledge of many in the church was only limited to what he had heard and read in reports, and his only trusted aide, Kaiser, had directly died during the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, which significantly weakened the Divine Envoy's influence in the All Beast Church.

"He's dead."

Messian said flatly, his tone indicating the deceased was not someone he was familiar with.

"How could this happen, what occurred?"

The Divine Envoy was surprised. While he had never met this [Blood Shark] Patrick, he had heard of him; Patrick had roamed the Pearl Sea for over a decade without issues, and the All Beast Church had given him considerable support, so how could something have suddenly gone wrong?

This was troublesome!

Patrick had been an important source of funding for the All Beast Church on the Fanor continent; already weakened after the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, this was yet another blow!

The Divine Envoy stood up, pacing back and forth in the study, weighing the pros and cons.

"So, the matter that Elvin needs to address is related to this?"

Messian gently placed the high-stemmed glass down on the table and nodded,

"Elvin has already identified who was responsible and intends to make the perpetrator feel My Lord's wrath."

Having said that, Messian's lips curled into a cold smile; he harbored a grudge about Patrick's death.

After parting with Patrick at Giant Horn Island that day, he felt intense combat fluctuations that night, and one of them was clearly Patrick.

But his strength was only at the silver level, and if someone attacked Patrick, there was nothing he could do to help, so he cautiously went into Stealth that night.
