Chapter 1799 - 978: Entering Wilderness City
Outside Wilderness City,
Lis observed the Wilderness City before him, not in a hurry to enter.
The scenery of Wilderness City stood in sharp contrast to the vast and slightly desolate sparse prairie outside; the first thing that caught the eye was a series of towering, massive oak trees.
They seemed like the guardians of this land, deeply rooted, lush, and sturdy in their trunks.
Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting dappled shadows, adding a touch of vitality and vibrancy to this land.
Amidst these towering giant trees, a number of simple wooden houses were distributed in an orderly manner.
These houses, built with raw wood, harmoniously coexisted with the natural environment around them, presenting a rustic yet cozy living atmosphere that naturally attracted people to approach, to feel the warmth and tranquility from nature.
More astonishingly, there were also some unique buildings hidden in this oak forest.
They were cleverly situated among the crowns of the tall oak trees, using branches as support, resembling aerial castles.
Besides, Lis could see many transcendents wearing various outfits coming and going here.
These transcendents weren’t limited to the most representative Rangers and Druids of the [Oak Council], but had all sorts of professions.
Even though the [Oak Council] had a deeper foundation in these areas, they didn’t reject the joining of other extraordinary professionals.
In their view, as long as one recognized the philosophy of the [Oak Council], they were considered companions and welcomed to join.
Thus, there were many extraordinary professionals living in Wilderness City.
However, in reality, professions like Druids and Rangers were still the strongest.
Since the [Father of Oak], Silvius, recognized the philosophy of the [Oak Council], although he rarely appeared, Rangers, Druids, and other professionals within the domain of the [Father of Oak] had the chance to receive Silvius’ blessings.
This was also why the [Oak Council] could stand on par with other Churches of the Gods.
Of course, the [Oak Council] wasn’t without issues.
A considerable portion of members within the council had relatively extreme viewpoints.
They wanted the whole world to revert to its former state of primitive nature, firmly opposing the destruction of the natural environment by any race.
Because members of the [Oak Council] had witnessed too much darkness while maintaining natural balance, many Druids leaned towards this viewpoint.
Within the [Oak Council], although not a majority, recognizing this viewpoint had considerable influence.
In their view, anyone who didn’t recognize the philosophy of the [Oak Council] was an enemy of the council.
Nevertheless, Lis didn’t intend to get involved with the matters of the [Oak Council].
After all, he was just here to collect a gift left for him by the [Father of Oak].
Lis waited outside Wilderness City, not in a hurry to enter.
After all, he wasn’t here to stir up trouble and should respect the owners here!
Thus, Lis stayed on the edge of Wilderness City, observing the internal situation while not concealing his own aura anymore.
In an instant, a gentle breeze rose from where Lis stood, softly blowing towards Wilderness City.
A moment later, two figures appeared in front of Lis.
Two figures appeared in front of Lis without any warning, breaking the original calm before him.
One was an extremely aged old man.
He had a hunched figure and wore a simple gray robe, the fabric of which was coarse and plain.
The old man was extremely thin, so thin that one could almost see the protruding ribs and winding veins.
He looked as if approaching life’s end, as if a gentle breeze could easily extinguish his fragile fire of life.
Yet his gray eyes were exceptionally bright, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
That gaze seemed to have penetrating power, as if it could see through hearts.
The other was a young woman.
She had wheat-colored skin, gleaming with a healthy and captivating sheen under the sunlight.
Her figure was extremely alluring, with well-defined curves, and every movement brimmed with youthful vitality and charm.
However, her attire was daringly revealing, with only a few pieces of clothing covering the essential areas of her body.
Those few garments seemed to exist only symbolically, hardly able to completely cover her enticing figure, like a wild leopardess.
The girl’s hair was carelessly draped over her shoulders, a few strands gently swaying in the breeze, adding an extra touch of allure.
Her gaze carried considerable hostility, and when she looked at Lis, that gaze was like a cold blade, piercing straight into Lis’s heart.
Her lips were slightly pursed, standing with hands on her hips, body slightly leaning forward, ready to fight at any moment.
"Who are you? What business do you have in Wilderness City?"
The young woman in front looked at Lis and directly asked, her words filled with undisguised hostility.
In her view, someone suddenly appearing around Wilderness City was undoubtedly provoking the [Oak Council].
While ordinary people might be overlooked, how could a Legendary Strongman like Lis suddenly appear here?
What happened to the patrols and detection arrays outside?
The old man beside her remained silent, merely watching Lis quietly.
For some reason, this young man’s composure gave him a sense of danger.
