I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 467: Legendary Alchemist Philip
The Emerald City,

Li Si was staying at the base of [Nature's Wrath] (the former site of the Emerald City of the Iliseel family), wandering around and studying the magic runes and magic circles everywhere in the base.

In the entire [Nature's Wrath] base, except for the magic runes in the core spire and the martial arts field, which should have been arranged by legendary wizards, the magic runes in other places are quite ordinary.

The Elf Kingdom had not suffered a serious attack for a long time, so Iliseel did not spend too much time on the layout of the Emerald City and the Elf King's City.

Li Si has been immersed in studying the magic runes in the base these two days, especially the two places arranged by the legendary wizard.

For Li Si now, although he is not able to engrave magic runes and magic circles of this level himself, he can already understand these magic runes and try to analyze them.

In Li Si's opinion, the magic rune style of the elves is somewhat different from what Teacher Stephens taught.

Just like the architectural style of the elves, the elven magic runes are more sophisticated and complex than the magic runes commonly used by human mages, and are better at mobilizing the energies of earth elements, water elements, nature, and life.

But at the same time, the more complex the elven magic runes are, the less stable the magic pattern circuits and magic arrays formed by the magic runes will be, and they will be more susceptible to external influences.

Li Si studied the elven magic runes here not to master them completely, but to learn from their strengths and absorb the essence that would be beneficial to him.

In the process of learning the elven magic runes, Li Si continued to experiment and slowly became familiar with the new power in his body.

After being baptized by the World Tree, Li Si's various attributes have been greatly improved. Although the newly acquired powerful strength was successfully mastered by Li Si after systematic combing, it will take some time for him to use it with ease.

In the future, Li Si's focus of practice will be on re-mastering his own strength.

At the same time, Li Si's fighting style also needs some changes.

Before this, although Li Si had many specialties, including the basic professional expertise of a warrior, his frontal combat ability was not inferior to that of warriors of the same level or other professionals.

However, due to his combat habits as a mage in his previous life, Li Si subconsciously preferred to keep a distance and suppress with firepower when fighting.

Even close-range attacks often directly oppress the opponent through superb skills and powerful strength, making it difficult for the enemy to launch an effective counterattack.

This is quite useful when facing enemies who are not as strong as him, and he can often even achieve victory without any injuries. However, he will face some shortcomings when facing opponents of the same level or even stronger strength.

Especially since Li Si's current strength has far surpassed that of his previous life as a player, many of the enemies he faces now may be beyond his expectations.

For example, during this journey to the Elf Forest, he first barely escaped from the pursuit of the legendary vampire, and then personally witnessed the demon prince Demogorgon destroying the Elf Royal Court. These experiences filled Li Si's heart with a sense of urgency.

After Li Si obtained the basic professional expertise of the monk, his agility, strength, and endurance attributes, which are closely related to physical strength, have now been modified. It is as if he had undergone a complete transformation and reached a height that is difficult for ordinary gold-level professionals to achieve.

Especially after his endurance attribute was improved, Li Si's body now seemed to have endless energy. Whether he was traveling long distances without sleep for several consecutive days, or engaging in a long tug-of-war with the enemy on the battlefield, he could maintain a high degree of concentration and abundant physical strength.

With the blessing of powerful specialties such as [World Tree's Favor], [World Tree·Original Baptism], [Advanced Tough Life], [Advanced Source of Life], and [Body of Dawn], Li Si's body is now tough to an exaggerated degree.

He felt that his body was as hard as steel, and could even withstand the sword attacks and arrow piercings without any protection.

Even if he suffered serious injuries, he was able to recover quickly with amazing recovery ability, as if he had the power of immortality within him.

After experiencing the baptism of the World Tree, the various physical strengthening and improvements that had taken place previously had broken through to a new level, which also filled the last gap in Li Si's physical strength.

This also means that, at least in battles of the same level, Li Si has almost no weaknesses that can be exploited.

At the same time, the improvement in physical strength also freed Li Si from worries, allowing him to use more special tactics in battle.

Most directly, Li Si now has enough confidence to use the tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries.

Before this, even if Li Si suppressed the enemy in all aspects, he would still give up some better fighting opportunities in order to avoid injury.

It is not obvious when facing an enemy who is weaker than him, but when facing a stronger enemy, there are not many opportunities to seize, let alone give up so easily.

Now, Li Si doesn’t have to worry about being injured in battle, and can even choose to pay a greater price to win a better opportunity.

Therefore, it is quite necessary for Li Si to change his combat habits and thinking in a timely manner.

After thinking about it, Li Si realized that there was still a lot to do recently.

In addition to continuing to improve his own strength, he is also responsible for the establishment of the [Nature's Wrath] organization.

Communicating with the Elf Kingdom and seeking resources and other support are the most important things for [Wrath of Nature].

Li Si left all these things to Daphne.

Although Mil and Bella are older, they were just members of the Elf King's Court Guard. It might be possible for them to train other elves, but it would be a bit too much to ask them to handle these things.

However, Daphne also gave Li Si a little surprise.

Although she seemed a little naive before, she was actually quite familiar with the affairs and procedures related to the Elf Kingdom.

After asking, Li Si found out that when they were in the Land of Elves, Adela had assigned many related matters to Daphne to do in order to train her abilities.

It comes in handy now!

Moreover, as the sister of the Great Sage of the Elf, many high-ranking elves also know or are familiar with the existence of the Moon Elf Daphne. Not to mention the Elf King's Capital, there are almost no obstacles in the Emerald City.

The appearance of Daphne represents the support of the great elf sage Adela for Li Si.

As long as it is not a particularly important matter, the Elf Council of the Emerald City will not stop giving its full support.

All the applications and requests submitted by Li Si were approved, and he just had to wait for the allocation of resources.

However, in the entire Emerald City, apart from Cecil's father Igli who came to see Li Si to express his gratitude and support, no other high-ranking elves had come to see Li Si.

This made Li Si feel a little strange.

Including the inheritance of the Ilithel family, with such huge wealth and resources, even the elves who don’t care much about money can’t give it all to him so easily, right?

In particular, the Iliseel family's legacy in the Emerald City included the current base occupied by [Nature's Wrath], as well as dozens of shops and warehouses in the Emerald City. The merchandise alone was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. In addition, in the Elf Forest outside the Emerald City, there were several plantations growing special extraordinary medicinal herbs.

But now, all these properties were handed over to Li Si quite quickly and neatly by the Elf Council of the Emerald City.

Even though Li Si is an [Elven Sage] and has the support of the Elf Goddess Fenrirya and the Elf Great Sage Adela, he can't be so direct, right?

At the very least, a high-level elf should come to visit Li Si to communicate and negotiate relevant matters.

The attitude of the Jade Capital now is like, I will give you whatever you want and then put you aside for now.

Li Si was a little curious and wanted to wait and see what the Emerald City was going to do. At this time, an invitation was delivered to Li Si.

Li Si was a little surprised when he saw the invitation on the invitation.

This is a place I’ve been to before. The representative of the Emerald City Elf Council is going to meet Li Si there?

The Emerald Capital, [Philip's Grocery Store],
Li Si stood in front of the store, looking at this familiar place, and suddenly felt speechless.

This is the address written on the invitation. Li Si has confirmed it several times.

This is where he obtained the arcane card and the legendary treasure [Mask of the Shapeshifter].

Li Si, who revisited the old place, had a vague guess in his mind: could it be that the arcane card was placed there intentionally by the owner?
Is this the evil taste of those bored elves?

Li Si shook his head, then pushed the door open and walked in.

A grocery store like any other, with merchandise cluttered as usual
But this time, the shop owner, the blond elf youth, did not lie on the innermost armchair, but stood in front of the cabinet on the right side of the shop, looking at Li Si with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Sage Li Si!"

"I am the owner of this grocery store and a representative of the Emerald City Elf Council, Philip Scalia."

When Li Si saw the blond elf for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly bowed and said:
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Scalia!"

Yes, when they first met, Li Si clearly only sensed the aura of the silver level from this blond elf.

But now, although the aura on Philip's body is flat and weak, it is indeed the aura of a legendary level.

Li Si was certain that he had seen quite a few legendary warriors, and even a legend had fallen at his hands.

He would certainly not be wrong!
In this case, it can be confirmed that the arcane card that Li Si obtained from this grocery store before was the work of this legendary His Majesty.

Especially since this person was standing in front of the shelf where Li Si took the arcane card, he almost made this clear.

Li Si didn't expect that an elf legend would be a grocery store owner here.

But come to think of it, becoming a legend can directly make you an elven elder, and naturally a member of the Elf Council of the Emerald City.

Although Li Si's current identity is also an elf sage, and in a sense he has the same identity and status as an elf legend, Li Si certainly cannot delve into this point too deeply.

After all, the legendary strongman is definitely much stronger than Li Si.

Even now, Li Si has no confidence in confronting the legendary strongman head-on.

"Sage Li Si, you don't have to be so polite."

Different from his impatient attitude when they met before, Phillip showed a smile on his face and looked Li Si up and down.

Especially after feeling the faint aura of the World Tree on Li Si, the smile on his face became even more intense.

"We all know what you did in the Elf King's Court. Thank you very much for your help at such a critical moment."

"I really admire him. That's Demogorgon!"

Philip pressed Li Si and said with a slight sigh.

Even for him, it would be difficult to do as well as Li Si when facing the incarnation of God.

Therefore, Philip did not feel resistance or discomfort like others about the identity of elf sage bestowed upon Li Si by the goddess.

“Just trying my best.”

Li Si shook his head, wishing he could completely stop Demogorgon's plan.

Now, although he has obtained the baptism of the World Tree and the status of a sage, he has also assumed more important responsibilities.

Everything he did now was to better prevent the invasion of the Endless Abyss in the future.

Then, Philip didn't care and said to Li Si with a smile:
"After I found out that it was you who bought the arcane card from me, I thought it was fate, so I came to meet you on behalf of the Elven Council."

Philip did not ask Li Si what he got from the arcane card. This was Li Si's secret.

Even he had no way of seeing the items inside the arcane card through the seal.

"Come on, follow me to the second floor."

Philip led Li Si to the second floor.

Stepping onto the second floor of the store, Li Si suddenly felt as if he had crossed the boundaries of time and space, and a breathtaking scene randomly unfolded before his eyes.

The second floor, which was originally imagined to be cramped and small, was completely overturned at this moment. The space expanded in an incredible way and turned into a spacious, bright and magnificent alchemical palace.

The ceiling hangs high above the head, made of a transparent material inlaid with glimmering gems. Soft light shines through the gems, making the entire space look dreamy and mysterious.

The surrounding walls are not made of ordinary bricks and stones, but are interwoven with alchemical runes that flow with a faint glow. These runes seem to have life, moving slowly, injecting endless vitality and wisdom into the entire space.

In the center, a vast alchemy workshop area spread out, with various alchemical products arranged in an orderly manner, each emitting a unique glow and breath.

Some are exquisite and small alchemical ornaments, with gemstones inlaid on them that change different colors as the light changes;
Some are huge alchemical machines that stand quietly, as if they are guardians guarding this area. Their complex structures reveal the unparalleled wisdom and skills of their makers.

What is even more amazing are the alchemical animals. They are either birds with transparent wings, dancing in the air, or beasts in armor, strolling leisurely in the palace with wisdom flashing in their eyes.

While Li Si was amazed, he was certain that this was not space teleportation, but the stretching and expansion of space achieved through special space techniques.

Such a space spell was arranged in the basement under Mr. Stephens' first magic workshop.

But this is a more advanced application of space magic, and Li Si can't do it yet.

"Welcome to my palace!"

“I hope you like it here!”

The legendary alchemist Philip said with a smile.
