Chapter 1801 - 979: Holy Tree
Wilderness City,
Lis did not leave that room, feeling the aura that permeated Wilderness City while chatting casually with Audette beside him.
It should be the influence of [Father of Oak] Silvius, along with the years of nurturing and management by the [Oak Council] Druids, which filled the entire Wilderness City with a rich life force.
Any transcendents who are close to nature come here can feel that vibrant life force.
Lis feels the same way.
Moreover, Lis has come here as a nature avatar, making him more attuned to the natural aura and life force around.
Lis can sense that the life force in Wilderness City revolves around the huge oak tree at the city center.
Previously, Lis had heard of the legend of this oak tree, saying that it was a sprout plucked from [Father of Oak] himself and planted here in Wilderness City.
Therefore, this oak tree possesses various peculiar abilities.
It is also treated as a holy tree by the [Oak Council].
Lis is quite interested in this holy tree because he can sense a divine aura emanating from it.
Lis cannot quite articulate this feeling; he can only vaguely sense that it seems different from normal divine powers.
This gives him a feeling of closeness, yet also a sense of unfamiliarity.
Could [Father of Oak] have left something within this holy tree?
While Lis and Audette were chatting, Nolan walked back.
He apologized to Lis, saying:
"Sorry, Lord Lis."
"I just went to contact Lord Miles through the council, but I received no response."
"It seems Lord Miles has ventured outside Gaia World, and may not return for a while."
"Hmm?"
Lis heard this and frowned slightly.
So, what is the situation here?
Previously, [Father of Oak] Silvius said he left a gift for Lis in Wilderness City.
Silvius wouldn’t deceive him, so could it be he didn’t instruct the [Oak Council] here?
That doesn’t sound right; if that were the case, Silvius would undoubtedly be embarrassing himself.
Could it be he instructed the [Oak Council], and the council members don’t want to hand it over?
That doesn’t make sense either!
If that were really the case, it would be defying a divine order, practically seeking death.
Excluding other possibilities, the result should only be one.
The gift from Silvius to him is in Wilderness City, but he must find it himself.
Or perhaps finding Silvius’ gift is a test?
Lis felt a headache.
He didn’t expect [Father of Oak] to stir up so many matters.
Even gifting something is so troublesome!
Of course, Lis only entertained such thoughts in his heart.
It should be noted that, as a divine with powerful divine power, the gift specifically mentioned by [Father of Oak] must be extraordinary.
At least it should be a valuable item even to a divine being.
Regarding his guess, Lis believed this was definitely the answer.
But now the problem is Lis doesn’t even know what Silvius’ gift is?
Is it a weapon?
Or a special magical item?
Or perhaps a special existence like a divine status or divine position?
Without a target, Lis felt a bit troubled.
"I came to Wilderness City because when I saw [Father of Oak] Silvius previously, he said there’s a gift placed in Wilderness City for me to pick up."
"Unexpectedly, this is the situation; I thought Miles would know."
As soon as Lis finished speaking, Nolan and Audette beside him showed surprised expressions, especially Audette.
She did not expect Lis’ purpose in coming to Wilderness City was for this.
A wonderful gift from the great [Father of Oak] to Lis?
Thinking about it is so desirable!
Could it be that as mighty as [Father of Oak] Silvius himself, he also favors Lord Lis very much?
This is indeed reasonable, after all, Lord Lis’ strength is quite formidable, and as a World Tree Favored, he is naturally an ally to the [Oak Council].
Compared to Lis, Audette felt that the strength she received from [Father of Oak] before amounted to nothing.
Nolan was silent for a moment, looked at Lis, and said:
"I’m sorry, Lord Lis, I haven’t received [Father of Oak]’s guidance."
"However, if you are willing, I believe the council would agree to open the treasure vault of Wilderness City for you to choose from."
Nolan did not question what Lis said; there was no need for Lis to hide such matters.
If it were a general treasure, it would be irrelevant to Lis, who is a demigod; he wouldn’t fabricate a promise from [Father of Oak].
If it were a more precious treasure, like the divine artifacts and half-god artifacts left for the council by [Father of Oak], without [Father of Oak]’s promise, Lis couldn’t take them.
Thus, as a council member, Nolan thought the council wouldn’t refuse to let Lis, an outsider, into the council’s treasury.
Having the Kane Floating City and controlling the [Phillips Crystal], Lis would lack none of these riches.
Lis thought for a while, waved his hand, and said:
"No, I think this is also one of [Father of Oak]’s tests for me."
"I will stay in Wilderness City for a while. During this time, I should have no problem walking around the city?"
Faced with Lis’ inquiry, Nolan promptly said:
