NOVPUBChapter 570: Chapter 397: Descendants of the Day Elf_2 Chapter 570: Chapter 397: Descendants of the Day Elf_2 The elf girl’s delicate features resembled a perfect sculpture crafted by a sculptor, her deep emerald eyes clear and lustrous like jade, sparkling with a vibrant luster. Her pale golden hair, under the sunlight, cascaded down her waist like a golden waterfall, shimmering with a soft and warm light.
Her leather armor, meticulously crafted, was both lightweight and durable, fitting her figure perfectly, revealing her graceful physique and endowing her with a unique heroic air.
“Who are you?”
Cecil asked, a hint of wariness in her gaze.
“I’m from the Mercenary Guild, I’ve taken themmission you posted there.”
Lis flashed his goldlored mercenary identity card, smiling as he spoke.
“…I see, thenme in.”
Cecil waved her hand, and the gate, made of woven branches, automatically opened.
She initially didn’tnsider this because Lis was too young; themmission she posted in the Mercenary Guild was a Gold Level one.
Could someone who takes on a Gold Levelmmission alone be at the Gold Level?
However, having lived in the human city for so long, Cecil knew that the lifespan of humans and elves was not the same; by human standards, Lis wasnsidered quite young.
But since she hadn’t sensed his strength carefully, she now had some reassurance.
Is he a Silver Level Mage?
Lis noticed the flow of Magic Power and was mentally prepared.
“Please wait a moment.”
Cecil invited Lis in and turned to prepare some pastries.
Lis sat down on a wooden chair, curiously scrutinizing the room’s arrangement.
The house was not large, but it was arranged quitezily, with various exquisite trinkets and freshly picked flowers indicating the resident’s love for life.
Lis also noticed in a slightly ajar room next to him, heuld vaguely see an array of tools laid out on the workbench.
Gemstone Inlay Master?
Lis took a few glances; this was indeed a rather rare profession.
As an auxiliary profession similar to Magic Rune Masters, the main ability of a Gemstone Inlay Master was to forge metals, harmonize Magic Runes, and inlay and adjust Magic Gems on Magic Equipment and items, allowing the gems to exert their full strength.
Not onlyuld Gemstone Inlay Masters use Magic Gems, but any Extraordinary Treasure with Special Poweruld be utilized as there of Extraordinary Tools.
In the creation process of high-level Magic Items, the role of Gemstone Inlay Masters bmes indispensable, although it is less pronounced with Low-level weapons and equipment.
And the reason why Gemstone Inlay Masters are scarce is that many master smiths possess their skills to some extent; maintaining a profession solely as an inlay master is rare.
“Please enjoy.”
Cecil gently placed a light aqualored pastry and flower tea in front of Lis then sat down opposite him, saying:
“I still don’t know how to address you?”
“Just call me Lis.”
Lis nodded and, without beingy, took a piece of pastry from in front of him and put it into his mouth.
A gentle sweetness and a soft texture with a hint of natural freshness, it seemed to be made from a mix of flour and some fruit, baked together.
“Mr. Lis, since you were able to accept mymmission, I naturally trust your abilities.”
Cecil paused, thenntinued earnestly:
“But I still want to make things clear.”
“My currentmmission is to ert me to the Bolin Kingdom, which is different from ordinary ert tasks, otherwise, it wouldn’t be a Gold Level task.”
“I understand.”
Lis nodded; generally, a regular ert mission, even to another Kingdom, wouldn’t reach the level of a Gold Levelmmission.
And arding to Drogo, Cecil was probably heading to the Bolin Kingdom to meet with the Elf Royal Court’s emissary team.
From the information obtained from the Mercenary Guild, cities and tribes on the borders of the Elf Kingdom had morentact with Human Kingdoms, but places like the Elf Royal Court hardly ever interacted with Human Kingdoms, let alone sent an emissary team.
And it seemed that Cecil had also received this news, which was why she was in a hurry to go to the Bolin Kingdom.
“What exactly is the problem?”
Cecil paused for a moment in response to Lis’s question and said,
“I’m not entirely sure myself, but there might be people who will attack me on the way to Bolin Kingdom.”
“Are you really human?”
Lis asked with some curiosity, as typically even slave capturing teams seldom target Elves traveling alone; they more often attack those Elf villages with weak defense capabilities.
“To tell the truth, I’m not very clear about that either, but I do indeed need to make a trip to Bolin Kingdom, and I’m worried that something might happen, which is why I chose to post ammission at the Mercenary Guild.”
Cecil shook her head, saying with some uncertainty.
Lis didn’t mind, as Cecil was unaware that Lis already knew about the incident with the Elf Royal Court envoy team, and probably hid some things.
However, that was normal.
After all, it was the first time they met, and Cecil wouldn’t pour out her heart to Lis.
Moreover, as an Elf, Cecil’s attitude towards Lis was already quite good, even carrying a hint of respect.
“I’m a Silver Level Mage, but I seldom fight, at most I can only assist you from the side.”
Cecil looked at Lis and hesitated before saying,
“May I ask what your profession is?”
Since Lis hid his aura very well, Cecil did not detect what profession Lis was.
“I am a warrior,”
Lis looked at Cecil, smiling slightly with therners of his mouth turned up.
“As for your safety, don’t worry too much.”
“I am quitenfident in my strength!”
Cecil, looking at Lis’snfident demeanor, still felt somewhat hesitant.
From the messages she received, it seemed possible that she would eunter attacks from Cultists on the way.
But the messages were too vague, making it difficult for her to decide.
“If I may be so bold to ask, Mr. Lis.”
Cecil looked at Lis and pursed her red lips before asking,
“Have you euntered Elves before, and what happened?”
“Why do I feel the presence of Goddess Fenrir on you?”
Honestly, Cecil found it incredible the first time she met Lis.
The Moon and Guardian Goddess Fenrir were important deities within the Elf God System, with a domain that closely aligned with the Elf Clan’s abilities, and a profound influence on the Elves, a deity who paid great attention to the Elf Clan and frequently bestowed oracles.
To Cecil’s knowledge, it was relativelymmon for Elves to have the protection of Goddess Fenrir, but she had never before felt such an aura on a human.
So much so that Cecil thought there was an error in her own senses.
If she hadn’t been informed of the reason, the feeling Lis gave her was one of affinity, and for all these reasons, she invited him to her house the first time they met.
Otherwise, even with the Mercenary Guild’s certification, what did it matter? She had seen enough of the deceitful means of those humans with ulterior motives.
“Ah, indeed I’ve had such an experience,”
Lis nodded as he remembered something after hearing Cecil’s words.
He then told Cecil about the time he found the Moon Spirit Leopard cub while with the Yaya Mercenary Group.
During that experience, Lis earned the specialty [Silver Moon Protection] and the milestone [Close Friend of the Elf Clan].
Although the effect of the specialty [Silver Moon Protection] was strong, Lis seldom had the opportunity to use it, only employing it in the battle against [Blood Shark] Patrick.
The milestone [Close Friend of the Elf Clan] allowed Lis to receive a friendly level of goodwill when facing Elves, making Cecil see Lis with a special affinity, not repelling him like most humans.
This was also one of the reasons Lis had infiltrated the Elf Forest this time.
“I see…”
Cecil nodded, her eyes showing much more trust when looking at Lis.
“There’s another matter I’d like to ask of you.”
