I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 561 - 394 [World Tree New Bud]

Although Lis gained many powerful special skills from Risa, which filled in his own shortcomings, he still had not completed the second circle of the Legendary Quest in the end.

The special skill "Arcane Favored" was not in his hands.

There was no choice; Lis had already visited nearly all the places he could explore, but in the end, his exploration level of the inner city remained at 58%.

Looking at it this way, as the core area within the Floating City, that high tower must be the most important part of the inner city.

Now it seems that without exploring that high tower, Lis would not be able to complete the second circle of the Legendary Quest series.

Tsk!

In that case, he could only wait until he broke through to the Legendary level before coming back to explore.

Lis no longer planned to stay in the Azela Floating City.

For one thing, he had stayed in the Floating City long enough, and the resources that were valuable to him had been fully utilized.

For example, the Legendary Magic Books in the Azela Great Library had all been learned by Lis during this time.

For Lis, it was time to embark on the next journey to elevate his own strength.

After all, having a system and the memory of a former life, Lis could completely increase his own level by investing experience, and staying in the Floating City was not of much significance to him.

More importantly, Lis planned to go south in the Fanor Continent to the Navia Great Forest, renowned as the Elf Forest.

The Navia Great Forest is an expansive forest covering two-thirds of the southern region of the Fanor Continent.

There, the forest's borders seemed unreachable, as if stretching to the ends of the world. Walking among them was like being in a boundless green ocean, where the breeze whispering through the trees sounded like the gentle lapping of the ocean's waves against the shore.

A variety of creatures procreate and thrive on this land, constituting a vibrant ecosystem. From tiny insects to massive beasts, each life form has found its place here, together maintaining the harmony and balance of the forest.

Of course, it is the Elves who have mastered this Great Forest, and those who love Nature maintain and protect the operation of the forest.

Although the entirety of the Navia Great Forest is under the control of the Elf Kingdom, the situation of the Elf Kingdom is unique and different from the Human Kingdoms.

They too proclaim themselves as the Elf Kingdom, but due to the vastness of the Navia Forest and the Elves' living habits, most of the time Elves live in the form of city-states or villages throughout the Great Forest.

This also makes the structure of the Elf Kingdom very loose overall, and in reality, it is a ruling system centered around the Ruler, the Sun Elf Family.

When there is no important affair, each Elf Family in the Elf Kingdom also basically governs itself, living in the quiet and peaceful forest.

This is probably also due to the Elves' long lifespans; their pace of life is slow, and they are not too interested in matters concerning other races.

Because they believe that lands outside the Great Forest are meaningless to them, the Elf Kingdom has always firmly controlled the Navia Great Forest and has no interest in territories beyond.

The Elves are known for their poetry, dance, storytelling, and magic skills, and they venerate the simple beauty of Nature. Their handcrafted goods are exquisite and gorgeous, much beloved by Human Nobles.

As a result, quite a few Human merchant caravans enter and leave the Navia Great Forest, exchanging goods for considerable profits.

But at the same time, there is no lack of conflict between Humans and Elves.

The Elves living in the Navia Great Forest, with their fair skin, slender and graceful bodies, and especially their exceptional beauty, lovely and pleasing to the eye, are quite popular among those Noble Lords in the Human Kingdoms.

As for what those Nobles use the purchased Elf slaves for, that is common knowledge.

As this trend spread among the Nobles in the Human Kingdoms, owning an Elf Slave has become a habit for the Nobles to show off and display their status to each other.

It is also for this reason that the price of Elf slaves in the Human Kingdoms has been rising higher and higher.

The violence in this trade has enticed many, and even several Extraordinary Professionals have formed Slave Capturing Teams to sneak into the Elf Great Forest to capture young Elves to sell as slaves.

Of course, this was something the Elf Kingdom could not tolerate. Upon discovering such acts, the Elf Kingdom immediately established for the first time the Elf Guard to patrol the areas around the Great Forest and to hunt down those Humans who entered the forest without permission.

In some extreme cases, the Elves would even pursue these Slave Capturing Teams, not hesitating to chase them down even if they left the Navia Great Forest.

This situation even affected trade between the Elf Kingdom and the Human Kingdoms, but the power of the Elf Kingdom was far stronger than that of the few Human Kingdoms around the edge of the Elf Forest, so those Human Kingdoms could only suffer in silence.

Possibly, even the rulers of those Human Kingdoms felt somewhat anxious, as they were not entirely uninvolved in these dealings.

After all, the Elf Great Forest is simply too vast, and the Elves do not have a strong reproductive capacity. Their population has always remained at a stable level, which also means that the Elf Guards cannot always detect all the Slave Capturing Teams in time, and there always will be those who slip through the net.
