Chapter 775: Chapter 486: Now, You are the Prey!
Elf Royal City, within the Royal Palace,
Denis stood up in surprise as he saw many people entering his room.
As a member of the Alorotti family, he was quite familiar with the personnel inside the Royal Palace.
Those who appeared here were clearly Royal Palace Guards, judging by their attire.
The leader was even more familiar to Denis, Levi Lind was the Great Commander of the Royal Palace, highly trusted by Lord Haddad.
Even Denis had to respect the Commander.
But the person at the forefront was the most surprising to Denis.
Lis Kain!
Lord Sage of the Elves!
Denis had just been discussing this sage with Salem, and now the man himself had suddenly appeared before him.
Without reason, Denis suddenly felt guilty, but he quickly composed himself.
It was rather impolite for them to barge into his room, even with the Guard Commander accompanying them.
Just as Denis was considering how to question them, he suddenly heard the Sage speak.
Denis shivered suddenly.
What?
Believers of the God of Hunting?
Who?
It didn’t take long for Denis to sense something amiss.
Commander Linde wouldn’t even look him in the eye, but instead gave serious orders to the guards who had followed him and quickly surrounded Salem.
Seeing this, Denis could understand the meaning behind what Lis had just said.
Was Salem a believer of the God of Hunting?
Was he the one who plotted an attack on Sage Lis a few days ago?
It couldn’t be Salem!
Denis instinctively wanted to defend his friend.
In his view, Salem was someone who devoted most of his energy to improving his strength, not very talented, but diligent enough.
Though sometimes impulsive, he couldn’t possibly have fallen to become a believer of the Evil God, could he?
But before he could speak up, reason halted his words.
No matter what, the presence of Sage Lis and Commander Linde meant they must have obtained Lord Haddad’s permission.
It was even possible that at this moment, His Majesty the King was watching everything that was happening here.
Without concrete evidence, the Sage wouldn’t have come here, right?
Denis remained silent, his gaze towards Salem filled with complexity.
At this moment, Salem stood up with a look of shock and anger, saying:
“Lord Lis, are you suggesting that I am a believer of the Evil God?”
“How can you question my faith?”
Salem waved his arms as if venting his dissatisfaction.
Like an enraged bull, he attempted to approach Lis but was intercepted by the Royal Palace Guards halfway.
Clearly discontent, Salem shrugged off the Elf Guards restraining him and said to Lis:
“I get it now, you must be bearing a grudge because I stopped you at the palace banquet last time.”
“And now you’re trying to smear me as a believer of the Evil God, dream on!”
“This is Andor City’s Royal Palace, His Majesty the King will stand up for me!”
Watching the uncontrollable anger of Salem, Commander Linde beside Lis hesitated.
He wasn’t swayed by Salem’s argument, doubting Lis’s vengeful intentions.
What status did an Elf Sage have, almost equal to the clan leader of their family, the Legendary Crown.
Would he hold a grudge for a moment of impoliteness?
Linde didn’t think Sage Lis was that kind of person, but Salem’s words did have some merit.
After all, from what it looked like, there were no abnormal signs of an Evil God believer on Salem, and his aura was no different from that of a normal elf.
Although His Majesty the King trusted the Elf Sage, Linde didn’t think Lis would lie about such a serious matter.
However, anything related to the believers of the Evil God was extremely sensitive to the Elf Kingdom at the moment.
And being deep within the Royal Palace, if they took Salem away without evidence, it would seem a bit too rash.
It would perhaps be more appropriate to take Salem to the Elf Holy Hall for the Elf Priests, who wielded the Power of All Gods, to confirm whether or not Salem was a believer of the Evil God.
Linde also believed that with the Royal Palace Guards in charge, Salem wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble.
Just as Linde was about to suggest this softly to Lis, he saw Lis raise his right hand, point at Salem, and say with a smile:
“It seems you still wish to struggle. Unfortunately, all your efforts are in vain.”
Lis gently gripped the black stream of air in his hand, which exploded instantly under the stimulation of his Magic Power.
An invisible wave spread out, instantly enveloping Salem.
The moment this invisible wave touched Salem’s body, an evil aura uncontrollably erupted from within him, resembling a deep black fog that shrouded him, oppressive and full of destructive and greedy strength.
Within that evil aura, mixed with endless desire and avarice, chaos and madness, it was like a group of out-of-control beasts roaring, biting, greedily wanting to devour any living being that came close.
The Elf Guards, upon sensing the evil aura suddenly emerging from Salem, immediately encircled him and protected Lis and Linde behind them.
As the instigator, Salem looked at Lis with a dark face, no longer able to hide his resentment and anger.
Realizing something was wrong the moment he felt the invisible wave, Salem understood the situation, but the Evil God Power within him, which had been well concealed, erupted uncontrollably like water droplets in hot oil, bursting forth without his control.
